I have a great brother like that too! I love my Big Brother!
Enjoy the love!
I have an older brother and younger brother
and I was a terrible handful, especially during high school compared to my brothers.
I have the best brother ever!
Tonight my brother called, said he loved me and he knew I was struggling to catch up after being laid off and would I accept his gift to help me catch back up.  I love my family.  It isn't like he has money to spare really but he got a really nice bonus and wanted to share it with me.
My brother and I also won sm
a Halloween costume competition when we were little. He for my original costume (He was a hobo)and me for prettiest costume (me, what else, a princess)My mom was a whiz with the sewing machine. Funniest thing, We had the same last name as the anme of the department store that sponsered the competition. I assure you we were in no way related, but I bet no one else belived it.
Big Brother
Did anyone watch Big Brother last night? Did you think Julie Chen looked awfully skinny. I did not think she looked good at all.
Big Brother
Who out there watches Big Brother? What is wrong with everyone this season? They all seem so emotional. It is so funny to watch. No one gets along. Can't stand Jen.
Oh brother!
a
My brother's got one. They ALWAYS
Why not put $500.00 away in a bank account and then take long weekends or splurge on a huge trip? I don't see where you're saving money really, plus someone's padding their pocket somewhere. :(
My brother
was a wild one when he was 15, hung out with an older crowd and so on. But he straightened out in his early 20s when most guys his age were still barhopping. He ended up getting his GED and now he is a Fire Capt. I think some kids go through those wild years a little earlier than others. I would not be comfortable with him hanging out with a 23-year-old though. Makes you wonder what the older guy's motivation is hanging out with a young teenager. Good luck.
Big Brother
Is anyone out there as disgusted with the results of Big Brother this year? I cannot even watch the last one because it will make me physically sick to see either Daniele or Evel win. Daniele is the biggest baby I have ever seen and Evel is the meanest person I think I have ever seen.
Big Brother
Oh, I was disgusted with how it turned out last night. I bet there are a lot of people out there that feel the same way. I won't have to worry about missing the next show.
Big Brother
I love ED.. He is just being realistic. You do what you gotta do when you are in a game like that. It always amazes me why people get their feelings hurt.. They are there to win the money and that is simply all. Waste of time otherwise. I am glad he won.. of course, his daughter will get the money because of the hate people feel for him... The truth hurts sometimes.
O Brother
Whatta day it's been

O Brother
I glad you enjoyed it....
brother
I'm glad your brother seems to be getting his life together. . my ex was always a wonderful father - that is how I knew the drugs had finally taken over - when our daughter needed medical tests done - lost health insurance when he quit his job - and I BEGGED him to do something to get some money so she could have her tests done. . he did nothing. . I filed for divorce right after that. . he would never even admit he was on drugs. . if he had, we could have tried to get help maybe. .
i could have had his brother - nm

Well, at least not as bad as his gay brother
who has his own porn site, it is called Kitty-Porn. When husband not at home this furry is on hub's computer setting up, shall we say meetings. I would not have known had it not been for my husband telling me he had extra charges on his cell from someone named Romeo, that is when he found out about the gay site fatcat's brother is running. I tell you, these kids now days. They will be the death of me yet!
Through my brother...
and have only been apart when truly necessary!
Oh brother!
This is a 16-year-old you are talking about??? You seem awfully involved in the drama of highschool life. Don't teach him to be concerned about what some snotty girl is doing. Tell him to decide what he wants to do for his B-day and get over it. When he is 35, he will either remember a birthday spent worrying about someone whose name he can't recall, or that he had a really great birthday with friends that were true friends. His choice! This is hardly the end of the world.
Great Brother!
He is very special. Can't be he's married to someone who resents his having much to do with his sister, only sibling.
I am in NJ and worry about my brother-in-law
even though the fires are not near him, things can change if those winds do not stop soon. I wish the best for your friend. Yes, everyone's spirits out there seem to be good. They go through so much with these fires and earthquakes. I believe that is what gives them the strength to deal with these disasters when they happen.
Just to clarify - the brother that my son
lives 30 miles East of my parents. He does not visit, call, he is better than the rest of the family. Read my recent post above in regards to being a future felon. Yes, life is too short now isn't it?
Don't get walnut. My brother did,
and it's not as hard as it sounds like it would be. Cherry is very hard. which is why it is so popular.
I just have WilsonArt (like Pergo), and I got a medium tone. I don't like the color. It is too dull brown. I wish I had gotten something more interesting and dramatic, like light or dark or at least the honey shade I planned on, but I got a good deal on this color, and now I regret the color, but not the product.
Hardwood is better for resale value in many places, and does look better IF you can take care of it. WilsonArt, on the other hand, is indestructable, so it holds up better for rough use.
Another consideration you didn't mention is if you are getting flat boards or the ones with a little edge on them or other texture. I've seen wide planks that had an interesting effect that was very rustic looking. I'm sure any sort of texture would collect dirt, but if you are going to vacuum frequently anyway, the textures/shaped boards look fabulous to me.
Try to see as many pictures and even completed rooms as possible before you decide.
Big brother needs to be careful
I sincerely hope your son didn't run wants/warrants, DL, car registration, LEADS or anything else on sis's boyfriend. My sister is a deputy sheriff, and if she did anything like that for a personal reason, the sheriff would have her badge in about 2 seconds flat. That is a major no-no and one of the first things they learn if they work in the radio room.
My brother has quite a few Boxers
They are so funny! 
We'll probably go to my brother's
He also has 5 boxer dogs that the kids love to play with. I'll probably take some chili cheese dip or some chicken wings; it's hard to tell what I'll come up. Him and his wife are on a diet, so I don't want to bring too much of that kind of stuff. Maybe I'll make a salad! 
Big brother in action again
What happened to freedom of choice? When did what we do off the clock become everyone's business, and when did we, the workers, agree we need some authority with a conflict of interest to police everyone's health for their own good?
So what's next - we all have no health insurance eventually because some greedy insurer decides something we do is a risk? In this profession in particular, they could look to disqualify us for being overweight, or the likelihood of carpal tunnel, or any of the other problems that come from being chained to a keyboard the majority of the time.
On the other hand, some politicians introduce platforms aimed to force us to buy insurance. But what if you are disqualified by the almighty insurers? You can't make everybody get insurance if more and more people are refused insurance due to risk. Something has got to give here, and the madness must stop.
Best of luck to your brother...sm
I am glad he is getting this checked out and that they moved the stress test up. The sooner they figure out what's going on, the sooner he can treat it and at least get that stress out of the way. Let us know how things go.
My brother has 6 boxers.
They don't bite, but they do jump and they wag their tales hard. They are natural lickers (kissers), in my opinion. All we say the whole time we visit is "GIIITTT" because when one is done jumping and kissing/licking, here comes the next one...
My brother has done the same as you and she doesn't get it at all (sm)
He has not been to see her in 5 years and has a one-year-old baby she has never even seen, plus older children she has not seen in 5 years. To this day she thinks it is because his wife has turned him against her. She still doesn't understand that she did anything wrong.
My brother has has Boxers and he took
How about the surgery was $6,000.00 and the PT was $125.00 a visit for about 8 weeks. Only the best for his dogs. Now, he's contemplating putting him down because he still can't walk.
The other one had pancreatic cancer and surgery and just had an eye removed due to cataracts. This totals you guys are giving aren't even close to what he's put out.
It's a shame these vets charge so much.
Dear brother:
Please make some attempt to pay back what you owe me. Your lack of effort and acknowledgment is doing far more damage than just making me poor.

Met at my brother's wedding.
That your brother was your stepbrother
and your mother was your stepmother, I realized it immediately, because you called them 'his son' and 'his wife', was the reason that you did not help locatiang your stepbrother's children, so that they can get their shares?
Strange, strange! This equals indicency. Did you really not know their whereabouts or did you never want to know?
Oh brother, get a life.
and really, just mocking herself. People who can make fun of themselves are more mature than those who are too high and mighty and stuffy to do so. By the way, I'm not a Megan fan, I just don't see anything wrong with her having a little fun at her own expense if she so chooses.
My brother was "babied" like this ... sm
and now he's 45, unemployed, and lives with my 76-year-old mother who basically supports them both with only her Social Security check.
Please, teach your daughter the RIGHT way. Some day (hopefully) she'll thank you for it.
My brother was also babied ..
It was like my mom wanted to spare him from "wanting" and anything he desired, he soon had. As he got older, he "desired" not to go to school in 11th grade and I watched in astonishment as my mother allowed him to sleep all day. When his class was graduated a year later, he was clearly upset that he had quit and ten years later, a GED. All because my mom had it in her mind not to let her little boy feel frustration.
And she kept it up, funding every whim he had, businesses, vehicles, advertising, huge chunks of money that she would get from inheritance or what, she'd pass immediately to him as a loan which he never repaid her and left her to live on SS when she was too old to work.
Well, three marriages and 30 years later, 6 months after my mother's death, (she was his troubleshooter, problem solver, biggest fan and enabler), my brother took his life at the age of 51.
All I believe we wanted was a sound healthy routine and maybe praise for confidence and a stress-free home with a mom and dad who actually enjoy each other (who here loves to hear their mom and dad laugh? Is that the greatest sound or what?).
So yeah, I'd let her quit things as she will discovery talents in areas and find other projects not her cup of tea but the best thing is to let her use her own mind to figure out how to deal with life's problems - a resourceful mind and a sound routine can get us through the worst of times.
Good look with your daughter. I am sure she is a darling.
Both my brother and sister met their spouses this way.
Couldn't tell you the names of the sites they used though. Seems like a good way to meet people these days!
My brother told me that he watched my Mom
when they got married, so they would never get a divorce. Yeah, he said when you get married, they give you two divorce tickets that if torn up, can't be used!!! I believed him, and no, my parents never divorced!!!
I don't either. If she loves your brother, that means she SM
should love you too, or, at the very least, respect the love you have for one other. She doesn't seem very loving.
My stepdaughter just got booted out of house by my stepson DH bought for the two of them by his new girlfriend. Doesn't exactly sound like love.
If you love man, you must love family or at least try to get along.
Sorry you had a bad time. Again, I don't understand this behavior. Life is easier when all get along and life is too darn short.
Sounds like what happened to my brother - sm
though this was back in 1978, no cell phones. He had a full scholarship to VPI (now Virginia Tech). He has an genius IQ. (we were in PA so it was an expensive school for out of staters). He got his first girlfriend when he was a senior in HS. Over the summer before he left for VPI they got engaged; more due to her I think than him. Then while away at school she basically taunted him saying she wasn't sure, went out with other guys , etc. My brother basically went crazy and just ate himself up inside about her, started binge drinking, actually ended up in the hospital for 2 days with alcohol poisoning. Drove up to see her several times to get his reassurance that they were still together and everything was okay. Then he'd leave and she would start her games again. The obvious happened, he flunked out, and they broke up. Lucky for her he was/is not some psycho who would have killed her over all the garbage she put him through. It took him a while to get back on his feet, put himself through school, got his masters degree, etc. He meet a very nice woman about 2 years after all this and married young at 20. They, I am happy to say, are still together today. So hopefully he will not follow the same route as my brother, but if he does I hope he has the sense to grow up as my brother did. But I would take that phone away or get him a prepaid phone so he will run out of minutes in a couple days.....and either he has to pay to add minutes too (expensive) or live without, or call her collect, her parents will put a stop to that real quick if he does that. Good luck.
No sisters, 1 brother deceased, just me
NM
I can honestly say that my brother has finally
gotten his act together, well for the most part. He is still a lousy father but in just the past 2 weeks he has been making an effort. I hadn't thought about not having to buy a casket. The last funeral I went to the lady was quite elderly and lived with just her dog. The dog had been quite ill for some time and it was almost like they were just hanging on for each other. After she died they had the dog put to sleep and his ashes were buried with her.
my brother used to pull that crap. SM
My mother tried everything with my brother. Finally, one day, while the brat was in the middle of one of his fits, my father came in and was shocked at what he saw. My father went outside, got a bucket of water and threw it on my brother right there in the floor of the kitchen. Needless to say, my brother NEVER pulled that crap again.
Are we living in a big-brother nation
While I feel it was disrespectful from the student I feel it should have been handled differently. I don't believe the school should have been involved, since it didn't happen on school property or with school property. If I was the teacher I would have contacted the parents and talked to them and let them know how uncomfortable I feel about something that was written about me and let the parents handle how to discipline their own child. The school should have no say on how to discipline this child. What will the next step of the studen't personal life will the school decide to be involved in.
But did you and your no account brother treat her

Sister was into this years ago and my brother says (sm)
That one night when he had slept over, was on the couch, board was on top of the fridge and he heard the middle peice start banging around in the box like crazy. He would never be one to believe anything like this or to make it up. Next day my mom and sister burned it.
I think I'm living with your husband's brother
I've got a very similar issue going on right now, too, so I'm very interested in hearing the responses. I don't know how old you are, but one of the biggest problems for me is that at 49, my body image is more comfortable having sex with wild abandon under the cover of darkness and that morning light (not to mention the sheet wrinkles, morning mouth, etc.) just don't let me feel relaxed enough for great sex (I might add that we've only been together about six months, and while being comfortable enough to ignore one's own body flaws may come, I'm not there yet). In our case, he does at least seem interested in the sex, with days full of flirtatious innuendo (he owns a ranch, so we see each other a good deal during the day), but somehow, he cannot drag himself to bed before 3:00 a.m. (and gets up at around 11-12) about an hour after I've finally given up waiting and gone upstairs (I'm an 8-9 riser).
This is a hard one not to take too personally, but if your husband has always been like this, it doesn't seem like it could suddenly be you. And, for what it's worth, there are many women who fall into the size 4 category (although I ain't one of them) who have the same issue, so it's not that weight loss/starvation will be this magical cure-all. As noted, I look forward to hearing from those who have gone through the same thing (and sorry for all the parentheses).
Your brother doesn't believe in divorce?
Does he believe in marriage? A Catholic priest once asked my friend that question. ONE person alone cannot make a marriage. Adultery, emotional/verbal/physical abuse, financial irresponsibility, substance abuse, gambling should not be tolerated. If not divorce, then a legal separation.
Truely sorry for the loss of your brother. nm
!
I don't have a clue how much my brother owes
for his children, but at this point he will never catch up. My parents (who are defintely able to do this) payed my ex-SIL instead. My brother just says they are just giving them his inheritance. My parents bypassed him in their wills long ago and set up trust funds for his children. This is while he was still married. As soon as he finally got a job his ex let it be known and money is witheld from every paycheck. At least he is trying a little now and things are starting to look up, but.... I really hate it for all of those who don't have anyone else to step in and help and I really admire the ones that do it all on their own.
