Never owned, but .......
First off, my mom and dad had a clapper in their bedroom to turn the lights on/off. Well my mom told me that everything was great the first few nights. Then 1 night, after clapping the lights off, my dad farted so loud they came back on. The look on his face -- and my mom saw it since the lights were on -- priceless.
As for Chia Pets, never had one of those either, but I used to work at McDonald's and the guys had to wear the baseball caps with the mesh around the sides and in the back. One of the guys that worked there was of Asian descent and when his hair started to get too long, it stuck out of the mesh. Never happened with the other guys, probably because their hair texture was different. Anyway, it made me think of a Chia Pet and so I started calling him that. As soon as I did, he got a haircut quick. Too funny. 
OMG! I would have owned that store!
I would have had the cops there any everything, pressing charges for physical assault! That woman was obviously completely psycho!
I have never owned a foreign car.
My old 1991 Dodge pickup has 450,000 miles on it and I bet it will see half a million. It is a 3/4 ton pickup and still averages about 23 miles to the gallon. Can't beat that. Also have a 2005 Ford F250 and a 2008 Dodge Charger that I am in love with.
I've only owned one cat before....
and his favorite toy was....haha...my dog's tails! He would sit at the arm of the couch, and when my dogs would come by, he would swat at their tails, lol. He also loved paper bags with a hole torn out of the corner to play with, lol. He never actually cared for regular toys, but he liked my balls of yarn I would just wind up, lol, so I made him his own little ball of yarn and he loved that thing. He was the coolest cat I ever had in my household. My family is big on pets, and we each had our own, my parents had a dog, my sister had a cat, and I had a dog, growing up, and I never thought I wanted a cat till I had the one that was a rescue cat that we had since before he was weaned, we had to bottle feed him. He was so friggin awesome. When my son was a baby, he would let my kiddo pull on his fur and tail, even the little hairs on his ears and his whiskers, and he never once hissed at my son or scratched or bit him. He was a rockin cat...he passed away about 6 years ago, miss that little guy.

Does anyone or has anyone owned boston terriers?...sm
I am a dog lover to the nth degree. I love all dogs. Or so I thought. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law were going out of town and called and asked if I would dogsit if they brought them over. I was hesitant because they tend to get on my nerves when I am around them (the boston terriers not my BIL and SIL). I said I guess. So here he comes bringing them and they arrive wide open jumping on me and all up in my face, both of them. I have a beagle of my own who is the ultimate laziest and low key dog you will ever know. I also have a pit bull who is the kindest gentlest giant ever. They are both well behaved and have never acted like those dogs do. The minute my pit bull smelled her he went and was really sniffing her back end more than a dog usually would like she was in heat or something. So my husband said she isn't in heat is she? My pitbull is a male. My BIL said I don't know. My husband said she lives in the house with you. What do you mean you don't know. He said well she shouldn't be in heat. So we blew it off. Well these dogs drove me nuts. I mean nuts. While working at my computer one sat and kept trying to jump in my lap while I was working and would dive up and hit my arm and of course cause me to mess up. I was furious. I was on the verge of throwing the dog outside. But it was storming so I didn't. Then when I went in the living room to take a break and watch TV a few minutes one jumps up in my lap of course and when I went back to work I noticed blood on my pants. I said oh great she was in heat. I was ticked off. I called my BIL and no answer. I didn't know what to do. So I loaded them up and took them home to their house where the back door was unlocked and left them with plenty of food and water. I will just go let them out periodically. I will be wasting my gas but oh well. It is about 10 mintues away. I just had to vent about these annoying little dogs. I would have never dreamed there was a dog that I didn't like. I can now say there are 2 dogs I don't like. What are your experiences with boston terriers? I think it is the fact they won't sit down and are constantly jumping in my face and on my head that makes me annoyed.
I don't know about anyone else, but if I owned an Escalade, I sure wouldn't lend it out.

IAMS is owned by Proctor and Gamble.
All of their products are tested like she said. What she states is very true!
Great teen stores. They are owned by the same ... SM
establishment (for lack of a better word LOL). Gap is the more expensive, higher end, clothing. Old Navy is less expensive and is what the kids around here wear the most of. Either is really good but Old Navy goes a lot further in your budget.
Maurice's is good and not so high priced, if you have one of those nearby. And don't forget about the old standbys like Macy's, Penney's, Sears, and Belk's if these are in your area of the country.
We owned a coffee shop 5 years ago and here is my recipe (sm)
I have an espresso maker and a hot chocolate maker. I buy white chocolate and dark chocolate at Cash N Carry. I buy cups and lids at Costco. I buy sleeves at Cash and Carry. My daughters and friends say it is better than Starbucks!! The hot cocoa maker froths the chocolate up just as well as our $1000 machine did at our original shop!! :))
Owned a coffee shop and told by experts not to sm
freeze or refrigerate beans as it takes moisture out and does something to the oils. Only buy what you need and only grind what you need right before you use it. I was surprised too!
No fast food. Disgusting. Only locally owned restaurants.

Not sure about this, but I think the doctors in my state do an ultrasound before any abortion procedure anyway just to see how far along the mother is. I guess the mother is not required to look at the monitor? I don't believe in abortion for myself, but at the same time I do not thing anyone has the right to tell you what you must and must not do. It is a woman's body and she must live with her decision. I will say this-both times I was pregnant seeing the babies made it all seem real. I knew it was real, but seeing it really hit home that I was about to be blessed with a small wonderful new life.
LOL. Well, he was at our state
fair and we were going anyway, so we figured we would just go the night that he was going to be there. I was absolutely crazy about him when he first came out, then it faded! It was really good last night, though
#1 what state are you in....
I'm curious as to what state you're in and if this is public or private school (I didn't read the entire thread). I want to add that writing something 100-200 times was outlawed in many states years ago - this just makes kids STOOPID (more stoopid). As I know it, also paddling was outlawed DECADES ago in many states........so I'm curious if you're talking about public vs. private school. PADDLING FOR BEING LATE????????? OMG......they better find another way (the schools)........
gee, the censor here said I had to change the spelling of stoopid (bad word apparently).....
What state are you in and
what's growing in your vegetable garden right now?
Broccoli (ending), snow peas, onions, garlic, spinach, red lettuce, dill.
Just planted yesterday: tomatoes, sunburst squash, bush beans, with much more to come . . .
Well I do know that our state is 50-50 (sm)
so 50% of the house is mine but so is 50% of all debt. Regardless of whose name it is in. I have talked to mine about it in the past but not recently. He told me not to ever mention it again unless I was ready to go. As far as family, mine lives 8 hours away and is in no position to help anyway. All I have is God, my kids and my friends. But you know I am very grateful for all of them.
What state are you in?
Oh, I would be road-kill if I brought home another kitty though.... *whine whine whine* :)
in my state...
I can call my contact person at the child support agency and they can draw up the papers to have the child support increased. No cost to me. Or, call the legal aid in your town and see what they suggest.
Please use state boards. NM

I do not think underpaid here in my state
nice that the person won, however as far as putting up with the children, most teachers would never have to do that if the PARENTS did their job now days and taught the kids to respect, mind their elders, share, get along, in other words prepare them for life once they get through school. I think the parents are failing, not the schools.
Once again, depends on the state.....

Sad state of affairs when he is in the top 2
because if people are really thinking they are voiting for talent, far from it. I think the vote is the cutesy vote, not anything close to anyone with staying power nor star power the likes of Carrie. Oh, could be a shooting star, flash across the night and then gone. He is really 1 of the weaker singers I have ever seen on this show and watched it each and every year. Malinda will do very well. She is strong and will probably outshine most on there this year. I hope people will come to their senses and at least vote Jordin in.
ummmm, D, it looks like CNG is a no-go in my state. SM
Sounds like some fraud and duress has been going on.

Sad state of children
Good for the boys who have been guided under your scout leadership. They will truly have a gift to pass on to their children some day. My boys are 8 and 10, both cub scouts, the oldest crossing over at the end of this year. Most of the boys at school feel that scouting is just for those who are not popular and laugh at it. Fortunately, my oldest son is assertive enough to smile and let them know that he is proud and feels fortunate to belong to scouts, even stating that some day he hopes to be an Eagle Scout who will become President. He has learned so much from scouting--including the true meaning of RESPECT and practices it on those who do not even deserve it. We have to keep plugging away to keep these values in our children, so many kids are lost with parents who are lost. Thank you for your years of dedication and teaching....maybe with one child at a time we can turn this sad trend around.
You state below that you done know if you can make it - sm
or let him go, etc. You never "had" him in the first place. He responds by saying, "you are strong...you will make it." From that response I deduce he does not care, as long as you go away quietly and don't cause him any trouble. I cannot relate unfortunately as I have never gotten involved with anyone over the internet and don't ever intend to. You have made your "relationship" with him into much more than it really is. He says his wife is a "good woman" , that alone speaks volumes and the fact that he is sweeping you under the rug and you can only contact him at work, which is conveniently ending soon and he is cutting you off so his wife doesn't get PO'd. Email and speaking on the phone does not totally tell the whole picture about someone. You have never met him, you have no clue his idiosyncrasies, habits, etc. All you know about him is what he has told you, which is not much from the looks of it. If you cannot handle your "breakup" on your own, then go to a therapist, cleryman, trusted friend, or someone who is close to you and can help you through this. You vested way to much in an unattainable man, which as pointed out below is a definite issue and you need to find out why you did that. Concentrate on the positives, you say he has helped you become a better person, well w/o him try to continue to be that better person and go out and do things, get involved with and organization and keep busy and try not to dwell on this "wonderful guy" who lied to you about being married, and tosses you aside when he deems it unacceptable to continue being your "friend".

Gas prices here in NY State
It's anywhere from $3.19-$3.25 a gallon. We're going away for a few days next weekend and I can only imagine how much it'll cost to fill up (Usually around $60.00).
I think I would tell here you just could not afford it, and state what
you can do, i.e., the week after. He is not obligated to go, especially if it is a $2000 trip with all things considered. If she cannot accept that, that is her problem. Be gracious, but just tell here there is no way to afford the trip. Or, why not just move your trip up a week, go for the entire week, and if there are not enough tickets for everyone, then your DH can go to the ceremony and the rest of you meet them afterwards.
That's the thing - they don't take out for my state.
just one of them things i guess!
Find out what state he is in as he
may not be from your state. Refer him to the suicide hotline of his state. Please be careful, Craigslist has had a lot of problems with stalkers, a woman was killed answering an ad, pedophiles, etc. You sound like a very caring person but please realize he may be lying. Think with your brain and not your heart in this type of situation. It can be very, very dangerous!!
Are you WA state? I am and you just described our weather!
My kids keep asking me to put on the heater but I don't want to because this is when I'm supposed to be SAVING money on electricity. I wonder if the mountain snow is a record of latest lower-land snow? This year has been CRAZY weather!
Look into the state where you live.
Most now have online FAQ sections. Look for child custody or friend of the court with your state. I know in my state they mandate court appointed psychological evaluations. They do them as a mix of the family. (i.e. father-son, son only, mother-son, and so on.) I think this format would definitely be in your favor.

State jobs.......
Problem is with state jobs the application process lasts for a good period of time, so he needs to review the cut off date for applications. It could possibly be another couple of weeks before the cut off. But, state jobs are horribly slow in replying to the applicants. I would give it this week, check the cut off date for applicants, and then call them and inquire if the position has been filled. At least he will know then.
I don't know what state you're in or if that
makes a different but when my husband was hired by the state, he interviewed in July and didn't start until September. First off, as someone else mentioned below, it depends on what the closing date is. Whether they have 3 applicants or not to interview doesn't really matter; it goes by the closing date. They legally cannot make their choice until the position is closed. After the closing date, they will do an extensive background check before notifying the chosen applicant. My husband's references called to tell him they had gotten a call. They only check the top choice's references. If his/her background check, doesn't pan out, then they move on to their second choice. After the chosen one's background passes, they notify the applicant via written letter that they have been selected for the position, but it is pending medical approval. You go through a bunch of blood work and a physical exam and a TB test. Then finally, you get a start date. Depending on the type of facility, he may need to go for training. My husband works for the state pen and had to go for 6 weeks of defensive training.
All in all, it's a very long process. The waiting is agony, but if he gets the job, it's definitely worth it. The benefits are unbeatable. Good luck -- hope your hubs gets it!!!
In my state you yield to the car on your right. - nm

moving out of state
Check your divorce laws in your states. Many states will not let you or your (ex) spouse move out of state without permission of the other. Some even have a mileage radius. I think it's to keep both parents close to the kids and not having one parent run far away so the other can't ever see the kids again. My kids were 5 and 1 when I was in the process of getting divorced, and I moved out of state before I realized this. Fortunately my ex realized and understood the need for me and the kids to be close to my family for support, so it was written in the papers that it was okay for me to move out of state and he signed it.
in my state, pa, there was some controversy about this
and whether people would also need an auctioneer's license to do this. i'm not sure what became of it.
Really? I wonder if it varies by state
Not that I'd want one.
Heirs and the State............sm
This varies according to different situations and from state to state. In my state and in the situation of the poster's father being in a care facility and receiving Medicare/Medicaid, his part of the CDs, etc., that he is named on could very well be seized by Medicaid to cover the cost of his care to the point of exhausting those funds before Medicaid would begin to pay again. In my state, this can be avoided by placing CDs, etc., in a child's name 5 years prior to entering a nursing home or care facility and recieving Medicaid. This does require a lot of forethought and is often overlooked until it becomes apparent that a loved one with CDs, etc., is going to need Medicaid to pay for long-term care. I would suggest the OP retain a good attorney or, at the very least, speak with the attorney handling the grandfather's estate.
