Let's Review:  Because this man has no decency for manners and boundaries, his father is no better, so you should sit there and squirm?

Get your "@$&s* back, girl!  I wouldn't spend one more afternoon like this.

But I would never have let it gotten this far.  But that doesn't mean that you can't turn this thing around.  He is an adult, as are you.  Too bad someone will have to stand up and be the real one.  Yes, I'm on your side.  Totally! 

Keep us posted.

Well, yeah....The boys (23 and 25) come over on Sunday afternoon before they go work to check up on us old folks and eat up our food.  They'll come in and help with prep first.  We get a lotta laughs in the kitchen.

They've been cooking since about the age of  5 and 7...I didn't have girls and they wanted to be part of the process... sous chefs (cut this, peel that, okay this is how you sautee) ....worked for me and they'll never starve wating for someone else to cook.   Cat                   

Okay, here's the deal.  The day before my period, for the last year or so, I get a horrendously bad cold/sinus infection/flu-type process.  It usually goes away about a day or two after my period.  I have never ever had this happen before and its really bad this month.  I have all the symptoms... stuffiness, red runny eyes, runny stuffy nose, pounding headache, throat like daggers, etc.  It started as postnasal drip yesterday and I thought ohhh great... here we go.  Needless to say I was up most of last night in complete tears because of the pain of it all and not being able to swallow at all.  I have tried researching on the internet about this happening, but can't find any information.  Has anyone heard of this or had this happen?  I just want to stop it.  truly, I would take the worst god awful cramps over this torture.  I have had this both on and off the pill and I am only 31.  Any information would be appreciated as I know what a wealth of information our community could be.  Unfortunately, I am in Europe and so I can't go to my GP easily.  The doctors here don’t do anything about anything unless its major either and I know they will brush it off as some silly sinus infection, but it happens every month and goes away in 3 days on its own, so it can't be a run of the mill thing.  Any advice is welcome.  I go home to the US in 6 months and I can wait if I have to, but maybe some angel out there knows something to help.  I have tried tons of medications and herbal things/natropathic and nothing works except my period being established.

Thanks in advance and sorry for the icky topic. ;)

I need some great ideas to ask guests to bring - Husband and I are providing the main meal but I'm asking some friends and relatives to bring "side" items.  The main dish will be chili dogs. I asked friend to bring a few bags of chips.  Anything else interesting a few people can bring to accompany? Not everyone is bringing something. We do this every year, have hay rides, and it lasts all day. We play games and give out prizes. It's a blast.  A lot of people from our church will be coming.  I'm really not the only one hosting it, but the other hosts need to know what to bring...I can't think of anything interesting besides drinks and chips!

I'm making my famous marshmallow witches again this year and another gal is bringing baby cany apples by scooping out a portion of an apple with a melon thingie and dipping those in caramel. I've never heard of them before but she said they were so cute!  What do you creative women think??I need to let my other hostesses know today some time.  thanks!!

the enjoyment of forwarding them to my friends for their listening pleasure.  MUSIC IS THE BEST MEDICINE, AND AS FAR AS I KNOW, NO ONE EVER COMPLAINS OF ADVERSE SIDE EFFECTS OR ALLERGIC REACTIONS.

said, "I told you we should buy me a new bike," and I looked up at him and his arm was all bloody and his left flank and hip were all bloody and grungy,  I shot off an e-mail to whoever was there on Sunday night and took him to the ER with a broken arm.  Bike was also unrepairable.  By the way, I offered to buy him a new bike not too many days prior to this incident and he said he didn't need one. 

I would only see him on Sundays, usually every other, and I would look for him when I was on my breaks or lunch. Our offices and breakroom were upstairs with large picture windows and you could see most of the store. If I would see him wandering the aisles I would run down and open my checkstand for him. He came through my line one time and we made small chit chat. I asked him about a current event that was going on in our state that was pretty big news and he knew nothing about it; he had been on a 2 week business trip and hadn't heard the news. He then told me he was going sturgeon fishing for a couple of days; I acted interested and the next time he came through my line he brought me some smoked sturgeon. I hate fish, but of course took it anyway, thanked him profusely, and gave it to a neighbor (and my cats!). From then on for about 2 months I would see him every other Sunday. I scoped out what he bought, and determined he wasn't married (you can tell a lot about a person by what they grocery shop for).

Then, one day when I got off work, I had to do some grocery shopping. I was talking to a customer of mine in the produce section when all of a sudden here comes Mr. Sunday, who happened to work with the customer I was chatting with. Mr. Sunday said hi to me, general chit chat, and our mutual friend said that Mr. Sunday was a great guy, we looked cute together, maybe he should ask me out. Awkward moment, much laughter, customer leaves. Mr. Sunday and I are standing by the magos (he loves them, I hate them), he picks one out, asks me if I like them, I say yes (have lied twice now about food), grab one and buy it. My teenage daughter asked me when I got home what I was going to do with it and I said I didn't know; the neighbor got the mango too.

Finally, after not seeing Mr. Sunday for 2 weeks, I was gettng ready to go home on a weekday when all of a sudden who should come in but him. We literally bumped into each other. He asked me if I got the messages he left at the store for me. I told him no. He then looked at my nametag and said, "No wonder you didn't get the message, I thought your nametag said Sandra." Not my name....Apparently he called and left 3 messages for Sandra. They told him no one by that name worked there, hence I never got the messages. He gave me his phone number, told me to call him when I was free for lunch, and the rest is history. I found out he only came in on Sunday because he lived rurally, came in to go to church, only had to shop every other week because he was single (actually newly divorced). He worked in town but did 12-hour shifts, so if he came into the store at all to shop I was already off work by the time he came in.

Ten years later, he has since learned that I hate fish and mangos and what my REAL name is. We have an absolutely wonderful marriage, he makes me laugh every day, and he is a wonderful man. All because of the grocery store.

You better get going!!   My suggestion would be to pick out clothes that will take you from now until you get where you're going - I assume that will be sometime Sunday maybe.  Pack those in a suitcase and set it aside to live out of until you get to your final destination.  Leave one box out for linens, towels, etc. that are going to be used until then and those will just have to get packed dirty Friday am.

Get paper plates, cups, plastic forks, etc. and start using those so you can pack the kitchen. 

Start packing literally everything else and stack the boxes in a corner.   You essentially need to be off work from now on to get this done.  Box up the computer so you won't be tempted.  Pick a room and start at one end of the room.  Have a designed "no way is this moving with me" spot and put discards there to be donated or whatever you're going to do with them.   I hope you have your boxes.  If you can't get any from grocery stores, etc., you may need to purchase them from a Uhaul store, or some place.

Like the other poster said, if you have pets, have a plan for them on moving day.  Either crate them early or put them in a room with a sign on the door or something so they don't get lost or stressed out.

Good luck and safe travels.
