How many of you have disabled texting
on your kids' cell phones? Or is there anybody who wishes their kids did not have texting?
Just read the article about the dad who smashed his daughter's phone after he received a nearly $5000 bill when he thought he had disabled texting on his daughter's phone but had not. She had sent about 20,000 texts in one month.
My kids still ask me for texting but I will not budge on this. I see their friends texting and how it is nearly impossible to get their attention once they are sucked into their texting universe, and that is why I won't let my kids have it. It's hard enough to get their full attention as it is. I was just wondering if I'm the only mean mommy.
At least 2 of the kids are dev disabled and receive SSI. nm

I disabled it on my own phone because I rarely
Does anyone with a learning disabled child home school them? sm
If so, how did you go about figuring out how to teach them?
Our daughter was in public school but we moved her to a private school at the first of the year because she was very behind in the public school and they refused to give her extra services. Since moving her to the private school we have found out that she does have learning disabilities, which means that she would need to return to the public school since the private school doesn't have special education services available. She has learned a lot while in the private school because of the small class size and a teacher that spends a lot of time with her and we know that she has learned much more than she would have if she had stayed in the public school.
Now the public school is wanting her to repeat the grade when she returns there in the fall. Yes, the very same public school that refused to help us before and actually blew off my questioning if she had learning disabilities now only has a "repeat the grade" attitude. The problem I have with that is that she has proven on testing done at Sylvan learning center that she is academically half way into her current grade, so if she repeats the grade she will be bored for half of the year because she knows that material.
Therefore we're considering home schooling but don't know how effective this might be with her learning disabilities. Does anyone else do this? How did you find out about the techniques you needed to teach your child so that they could learn? We know that she has an average IQ so that's not a problem - it's just getting her brain to process the information correctly.
Thank you.
Have a friend who used her husband's sticker. He really was disabled and stayed at home (sm)
so therefore she gladly took over use of his tags for her purposes. When he died she was aggravated when they wouldn't renew them a year or so after his death. Guess she thought they were survivor's benefits.
nope....LOL

nope
No, just saw my regular doctor a long time back who prescribed one of the ergotamine drugs and I had a bad reaction to it, got extremely cold hands and feet and nearly passed out and thought I was going to die. I could neither lie down nor sit up and got breathless and didn't know if it was serious enough to rush for medical help. Luckily it passed after about an hour, and I never tried it again. The worst part is trying to sleep all through the night for 3 nights with the pain which keeps waking me up. I am not sure if I should visit an ENT doctor or a neurologist or both, seeing how I get two types of headaches every month, one on each side. Am seriously thinking of stopping at least the hair color use so the sinusitis will subside, but the migraine?
nope. not in the least. sm
I have opened my umbrella in the house quite a bit and nothing bad ever happens. I had a black cat too for 13 years and she passed on, but she was a good companion. Life is life and these things are not going to bring you bad luck, good luck, or anything else for that matter. life is too short.
Nope.
I can't imagine not having my siblings and wanted my kids to have the same.
Nope, not just you
It's getting flat out ridiculous. So sad, I've loved Y&R for as long as I can remember. 
Nope - NC!
It's a hot weekend, may as well shop when not working, LOL.
Nope really can't
But, I maybe able to get away with not having to put dd in daycare so that would $250 a month I would not have to worry about. I don't really know but if I can pay less on family insurance that might be a plus.
There was a job opening at a manufacturing warehouse to work in the collections department for $11.50 an hour. I passed that up because it would have been a little bit of a paycut...... but then again, maybe not because for family health insurance I would not have to pay a dime, company covers all. That would be $145 a month that would not be going out. Plus they get retirement, company stock.
I live in a small town. Our hospital is going to VR. They have not said anything about cutting back on employees yet but if they do, I am sure they will keep the better producers..I just thought this was an opportunity to bow out gracefully. I am feeling better than I did yesterday when I first posted.
NOPE. That's what THEIR med. ins. is for! - sm
And if the kid had a recently-operated-on finger, why wasn't it bandaged/casted, etc. At least that would've alerted you and others who know the child that she needed to take it easy.
Nope
Did none of what you listed...mostly just asked around, mentioned the name, and bam...info abounds! Sorta like Google ya know, but in a more personal fashion...
nope
As Dorothy said at the end of Wizard of Oz, "Next time I go looking for my heart's desire I won't look any further than my own backyard."
Nope...not twice...sm
Adultery is just the ultimate betrayal. I mean I know some people make mistakes but that is very painful. Forgiving once would be hard enough but twice no. And besides seems to me it is like saying ok go ahead and cheat on me and I will just forgive you later.
Nope, not me
I'm just little ol me. I've worked for the same company for 3 years and love my job so I wouldn't be able to give any information (useful or not useful) to anyone. Also for new MT questions...I leave that for the QA or more experienced MTs to answer.
I do try to stay positive. In fact one time my SIL told me that my attitude on life is way too positive and wondered if I ever get mad. :-)
Nope
Look at this way, if the patient is terminal and the meds "might" help, you could spend the time you have left chasing the dream of a cure. I would rather spend the time with my family rather than chasing something that "might" help me.
nope, i don't buy it.
I am only 5Ƈ" and could conceivably fall in, but i could also get out, unless someone was sitting on the lid...
Um, nope, I'm not saying that.
That would be a New Age thing, or Kaballah, or some other politically correct type of spirituality. Christians might say the Holy Spirit lives in someone who is saved, but that's not the same thing AT ALL.
Nope...nm

Nope, already there
Does no good to worry- just think what the other alternative is. I really enjoy these "golden years." Just think, this year after reaching 66, my property taxes come down from over 2500.00 to 800.00- I am able to work and still get social security which makes my income twice of what it is before drawing, i get reduced prices in stores, movies, theater and the like, restaurants. I have only 2 slight medical problems, both controlled with medication once a day, basically money situation so much better than when raising a family, do what I like when I like. A wonderful time for me.
Nope...sm
My husband doesn't hit me and never has. That just isn't his nature. It infuriates him for a man to hit a woman. I couldn't take someone hitting me when they got ticked off at me.
NOPE
The boy is 13 and he could probably make his own mind whether or not he wants this. What if he said for his own beliefs that he doesn't want it. What makes the courts decide in a persons personal health decision anyway. I WOULD get my patient chemo. IN FACT they already went 1 dose of it themselves. Government stay out away from out families!!!
Nope, not even in traffic.
:P
No hot dogs either! Nope.

Nope ~ used to have a cat named Sam...
now have 2 cats, Lucky and Tripp, and a shetland sheepdog, Casey, which was on my list of baby names, but DH didn't like it.
haha.. nope. they don't but they may
during teenage years! LOL. TOO FUNNY!
Nope - missed that.
Sorry.
Nope. It is not your business to tell them.
Nope - Upstate NY nm

Nope, not in the midwest

nope - I don't agree.............sm
if a person wants it bad enough, they'll make it work out on their own - the OP is not alone - maybe she just needs to know she is not alone and that others are or have been in similar situations.
I'd like to see the OP change her life though.......eventually...it's in her best interests and those of her children.
Nope, don't see any with a slinky.
Somebody with a camera and a bird feeder ought to put a slinky on it and film a squirrel attack.
Nope, family are going to do what they want
He did right by letting it go. If he had wanted to take a stand on it, he could have sent his own flowers and signed them the way he wanted. His brother was being a bit of a jerk by not respecting him, but it wouldn't have been the right time for your friend to dig in and insist.
I think a lot of people feel, consciously or not, that you shouldn't change your own name, that it's somehow disrespecting your parents who gave you that name, and they just won't cooperate. I think all he can do is just keep signing with the name he wants to use and quit answering when they call him the wrong name in person.
Nope, that's her chair only.
Wonder where the snowmen came from? Must have been a chain store that sold them. This one was in central Indiana...
Nope, just glasses
Nope, just glasses. Guess one day I'll have to break down and go to the doc (been 6 years since last visit).
nope, my hubby has one
x
Nope, he would not be kicked out because
I have a kitty that I have written on before, she is a mess. I have had to kittyproof my entire home. She is a streak of gray running through the house, leaping on counters, chairs, dining room table, has broken objects (now I have most put up out of the way). I have done everything and will continue to try what people tell me in order to get her past this kitten stage. I know she will probably outgrow and if I had an animal like yours, would never just turn out- would be trying to find ways to help the cat. Have you checked with your veterinarian to see about medicine for the seizures or is that too much for you to handle? The animal makes a mess because of an illness you are saying, not just trying to do something wrong. I have more compassion in my heart than to just call it a loser.
Nope, not superstitious at all
I even have a black cat. I have a friend who's freaked out by the number 666. We when bowl (in our league) if one team comes up with a total of 666, and crosses herself and generally freaks out until the numbers change.
Nope, did not know that about Clay
and he was wonderfulllll, loved to hear him sing. Allison to me looks like she belongs on a Harley, biker chick look. I don’t particularly care for the hard rocker type music. I think Adam has the "chops" as Kara would say and ok with Kris. I can only hope that they reverse their decision making for next year.
Nope, I wouldn't go.
If you haven't spoken in 20 years, no reason to go. Just ignore it. I'm sure there will be an extra person there that will take your dinner. It always happens that someone shows up that didn't RSVP. I wouldn't worry about it.
Nope, afraid not. nm

Nope - I would leave it there until Christmas! nm

Nope, you're not alone. Lots of us out here in the
same sad boat. Each of these posts - sounds like a disorder called Borderline Personality Disorder - my mom had it and so did my inlaws - its basically an impossible situation to deal with. These people are actually so insecure and unhappy that they crave love and attention, yet they do everything they can to drive everyone away. The games are beyond description, and hurt so badly as they are so masterfully done. Its one of the few psych disorders that psychiatrists still are in disagreement over regarding IF the BPD person is aware of what they are doing (which I believe they are) versus if they are completely unaware of their games, and thus the consequences. My Mom was horrific - yet to outsiders she looked so sweet. My MIL was the same way, and her husband, my FIL, ended up the same way - perhaps the spouses don't actually have the disorder, yet they are so used to behaving in these twisted ways that they are just as hurtful and evil. Even psychiatrists will recommend that you stay away from these people if you want to have a healthy sane life. There is absolutely NO changing the situation or being in charge of it. Know what I mean? Because nothing makes sense with these people. You try to treat them properly, do everything the right way, but the more you do that, the more they will twist things and make the drama. Hard to explain, but there are a lot of great books on the subject. Things like "I hate you, please don't leave", and another one called something like "Walking on Eggshells"...great helps for those of us trying to understand these sad miserable people. Will be thinking about you. Merry Christmas.
Nope..no gravy boat.
Mine did not come with one either. Below are a few on ebay that might work. I like the last one too because it is round and could be used with one of your larger saucers. Hmm. I did not have S&P shakers either. Believe it or not I use these as my every day dishes. They are very, very durable, but then again I do not have children either. My mother always said, what good is china if you can only use it once a year! They do look lovely at christmas time on a gold charger plate. I also used candles shaped like pine cones and/or pine cones in the center piece. I paint also so I will probably end up feeling sorry for you and paint you one!

nope, not going to swallow Band-Aid for my...NM
   
Nope, did not learn from mistakes
but I sure got it right this time, married 7 years and love the ground this guy walks on. Am glad I kept on because you know something, I have found the love of my life and if I had stopped (which thought I would do after the last person died) I would have never known such happiness and bliss.
nope - they will not make a movie
