It's all in knowing dogs and knowing
what you're doing. My husband is a K9 officer and unfortunately sometimes he gets calls of pitbulls that have been left outside on a chain and they break the chain and go roam around the neiborhood. Does he kill them? No. Instead, he goes out there and gets the dog and puts it back on its chain and contacts the owner and tells the owner that if there is another occurrence that he will get a ticket and the dog will go to our nearby shelter. Dogs are what people make of them. A few years back it was Chow Chow, Doberman and Rotweillers that were talked about as being mean. An experienced dog handler knows how to handle any dog though.
Tomatoes, escargot and calamari.

I've tasted fried calamari. To me, it
was tasteless, just tasted the crust.
you have no way of knowing
what any of these people would have been without it.
Knowing about the virus, I would
say no because it just gives a false security and the virus can hibernate so to speak for months before rearing its ugly head. If negative only for you, probably she would think fine and good, can continue on as nothing happened. I don't think teaching her a lesson by a blood test and surely not 1 so soon. I had read about some signs of the virus and saw a huge lymph node on daughter's neck and I probably knew then even before her landing in the hospital with excruciating headaches and high fevers. They asked her to give consent for testing (she was under 21) and hers came back false-positive for several sticks- finally had the most advanced test done and then showed so really the test never showed a positive ever. You know, your daughter might be of age to say whether or not she would have 1 done- check that out first. It was not left up to me to give my yes or no. You know with all the rules and regulations they have now days, things have changed to what it was- a child under 21- you used to give consent, check this out first before rushing into the office. Let me know what you find out- send me an email if you would like. Good luck.
Your knowing the wife well would be
much more important than you hubby talking to his buddy now and then. She's the one stuck with cleaning, getting a guest room set up and worrying about meals. Some women enjoy that, but many are just too busy to drop everything.
No , they are white and after knowing them
all these years, it was very suprising. Like I said, we all grive in different ways, but I never would have believed that some of the adults would need to be medicated. It is just tragic and painful to see.
Thank you -- it helps just knowing

I'm not the only one with a child like this.  What I did learn from the child psychologist is that I have 2 other children who react normally to discontentment.  Yes, they get angry and occasionally fight, but not to the extent that this one does. 


I have threatened to call the police but never have.  Maybe 1 of these times I will.  I sympathize with you in your plight.  I hope things continue to go well for you and your son.  Thank you.


What does the bus driver knowing have to do with this? nm

Good for you for knowing that!!! (& sharing) :-D (NM)

Yep, I've thought of all that but knowing her

I am afraid knowing too much makes you old
Couples don't make things safe. A lot of times the pervert gets the wife to find the girl to lure her into a sense of false security. If you absolutely are going to do this, base it on the one with the penis, not the "nice" lady!
talk about not knowing when to stop...

maybe someone should unplug your keyboard for today.


re: your first post before things got worse:


quote - If you knew about the possibility of having dementia in your mother and possibly subjecting you to same, why in the world would you ever think about having another child and running the risk of the child not having a mother by the time they are a young teen? That is sad in the fact of you writing a note just in case you are not in a mental state as she ages so she could understand. How old was your mother when she had to be put in a facility? unquote


First the writing the note part was a joke -sort of- and was written with tongue firmly planted in cheek. That this went over your head is sad. Secondly, it was not my pregnancy, it was unplanned, the child has already lost her birth mother, hence being my change of life child as I was not willing to lose the child to stranger adoption and I changed my life for a child I did not give birth to.  Still standing by your original post? 


Lastly, the child is almost 6 years and my mother went from independent living and driving to being institutionalized in less than 6 months, with her admission to a facility Oct 2008 (8 months ago)...meaning the child was already older than the age of 4 years and in my care before my mother's decline.  My mother is 78.  Am I still unqualified to be this child's mother?  Should I have tied my tubes before having my two older children because my grandmother had dementia?  Should my mother have tied hers and ergo avoided my birth?  By the way, the child is able to understand much more than most (meaning you) about what happens to many elderly people by having watched the process and knowing the person my mom was before the dementia was so severe.  How's that original post tasting about now?  Welcome to the world of the sandwich generation.  Oh yes lest I forget to say later, thanks for your support.


Sometimes it is better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.


Are you kidding? They will even more knowing the kids today : (

May you have peace knowing your love will never end. My sympathies

Beyond the Rainbow
As much as I loved the life we had and all the times we played,
I was so very tired and knew my time on earth would fade.
I saw a wonderous image then of a place that's trouble-free
Where all of us can meet again to spend eternity.


I saw the most beautiful Rainbow, and on the other side
Were meadows rich and beautiful--lush and green and wide!
And running through the meadows as far as the eye could see
Were animals of every sort as healthy as could be!
My own tired, failing body was fresh and healed and new
And I wanted to go run with them, but I had something left to do.


I needed to reach out to you, to tell you I'm alright
That this place is truly wondrful, then a bright Glow pierced the night.
'Twas the Glow of many Candles shining bright and strong and bold
And I knew then that it held your love in its brilliant shades of gold.


For although we may not be together in the way we used to be,
We are still connected by a cord no eye can see.
So whenever you need to find me, we're never far apart
If you look beyond the Rainbow and listen with your heart.

IMO, I can't bring myself to watch The Nativity Story knowing
that the girl playing Mary, at only 16 years old got knocked up by her 19 year old boyfriend.  What do you think?
I guess these are the times when people just assume without knowing...
I said when I answered her call "She seemed out of sorts, curt reply, telling me to call her back." Well, with all "assuming" that is going on, I assume people are not reading the post as I stated. If she thinks I am angry, I have told her to ask me. A person who assumes is wrong a lot of the time- as you were here.

exactly! and the main reason why a certain--sm
someone does not want the war to end yet...too much money in it for him. blah!
I think the main idea
was to provide a separate area so that they would not be using the sinks. Would you rather have that?

And with the appalling handling of our taxpayers' money in Iraq not to mention pretty much everywhere else, are you really going to focus on footh baths? And how do you figure foot baths are at the expense of our country's safety???

And btw, people ARE allowed to put up nativity scenes at Christmas, as long as other faiths are represented too.

I am wondering if it is just that this is a Muslim thing that is bugging you or is it all faiths? If this was something to do with the Christian faith I wonder if anyone would even notice it.
She put up an ad on the Main Board, too.

the main actress
was dating marilyn manson. I think the role rubbed off on her.
I just saw it on the main board. Maybe it was moved.

One of the main doctors I work for
goes into a lot of detail about the patient's complaint and even what they think might be wrong wtih them. He also mentions personal things like if going to college, recently had a death in the family, etc. Hopefully you have typed a few of those and you can tell her that some doctors really do listen. Good Luck!

Thank you


don't let money be the main factor
If you think you will like the job and the people you will be working with, take it and don't worry about the money, and if you're not ready to move, hold off for something else.
Read all of this and it seems your main concern
here is at the very end, how do working parents deal with this, not about anything else much. You are in the dark about how parents (myself included) for years past dealt with children when the parents (myself included) worked outside the home. Talk about a mind blower, huh? We had either daycare, babysitters, some had grandparents who watched the children, other family members helped out some. Seems to me your concern is childcare mostly.
And the main word in your sentence is
mainly - as pets mainly on leashes- sometimes they are, sometimes they're not. Do your neighbors keep pitbulls also?
Like him too, he is the main reason I got Sirius radio....

my husband doesn't like him, but does not have to listen. I too like the fact that he is not PC, and when he has on something I don't like, I change the station, that simple.

Just now happened to me. I posted on the main board about it.

I have Norton AV and it called it a "browser exploit" and said the security risk was high.  I have not had this happen before and I would like to know why it is happening now.  It bothers me that this site is under new owners and all of sudden my AV software is detecing security risks when it never did before.


This post will probably be deleted now, but I need to know what is going on.  My PC just crashed a couple of weeks ago due to some corrupted files.  My PC guy, was able to salvage some of my files, but I lost almost everything!  I want to know if that has anything to do with this!

COMPUTER HELP!!! I think I somehow deleted my main user acct
Can anyone help me?  My kids got me to set up user accts for them last night. I did.  I had an administrator acct.  It said I had to make one the administrator acct so I made one with my name on it.  Then tonight I logged out of mine to switch users, thinking I could just log back in, but now it is gone!!  All gone.  I have a very basic user acct with my name on it but none of my files, none of my work software, my e-mail isn't even set up. Where is it all?? Is it gone forever??
It's been on the radio. Apparently the main source is TMZ, nothing official yet. nm

On the main Craigslist page, look at the upper left-hand - sm
side of the page under the word "Craigslist". It should say "Post to Classifieds". Click on that, and it will take you to a "Create Posting" page. Click on the type of posting you want, and it'll take you to a category list. Click on your choice, and the next page asks you to pick your city. After that, you're asked which local area(s) fit best. You will finall be at the space where you fill in the ad itself.

Hope that helped! I've given away furniture & an old PC on Craigslist...I LOVE Craigslist!
Someone on main board I think, recommended angel food network, which (sm)
I have been familiar with in the past. You might want to check that out as a way to save a lot of money on your food bill.
Post from main board ie Michael Moore movie Sicko

I have NO desire to see this movie, and I believe that it is just perpetuating and promoting what is going on in this county  -- I recently suffered a broken leg and went to THE "county hospital, i.e., Jackson Memorial, in Miami/Dade County  -- the ONLY reason that I even went there was because of the fact that my significant other did not understand that with my insurance through CHAMPUS that I could be seen at any or all hospitals in the Miami area  -- as a side note, the ONLY time that I have been "turned down" is at a Kaiser facility as far as being seen as a CHAMPUS patient.


CHAMPUS is the major insurance carrier that serves our military and their familes once the service member is honorably discharged, retires from active duty or dies in active combat or retired. 


What I endured at Jackson was little short of HORRENDOUS and I believe that if any of us were to be seen at a major medical facility, we would soon find this out.


Jackson Memorial is 1500 beds  -- I was initially seen in their "Extreme Care" section  -- I got there at 11:30 a.m. and was finally out of there at 11:30 p.m.  In the meantime, I walked down to their radiology department because the ignoramous P.A. did not put me in a wheelchair or crutches after I told him that the ankle area had been bruised for a week  even after I wrapped it, Epsom salts, ice packs etc  -- guess their attitude was "oh well"  -- sure enough, it was a fracture  -- they lost my records and with my second appointment it was from approximately 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. to be seen in their "Trauma Clinic"  -- no docs, just residents,but tell you what, if you are of Hispanic descent, or poor  -- BOY do you get preferential treatment  -- needless to say, I am still in pain, with swelling, can't wear a shoe after the cast being off a week, and cannot get results  -- I called the ER a bit ago and told them that I was going to be seen at a real hospital and that they could take their treatment and stick it


Bottom line is that patient care has TRULY gone down the toilet, whether it be a nurse, doctor or ANY kind of healthcare professional.
