I can see how one would arrive at that opinion (sm)
Seems like there would be a lot of room for error - either intentional or nonintentional.
a friend's b/friend died last year, drank, took vicodin...
I have wondered about that sm
I won't take a shower if there is lightening. Is that silly?
I have wondered.....
I am assuming that govt is using the same checking account you wrote a check to them from. I wonder what will happen if you've closed down the checking account for some reason. Seems like a lot of red tape for the IRS (is that an oxy-moron?). Then funds are returned to IRS and they have to cut check? Seems like it would be easier for checks to be cut for everyone on same day and mailed out. oh well....just something I thought of as I was reading the posts. With us, our stimulus will cover the checks we just wrote to them for last years taxes and this quarters taxes. Kind of makes you feel like your not getting anything....gee what a deal. HA HA. Okay, its late and I'm a bit loopy.
just wondered
The tampon thing is just gross. I have seen stuff in my magazines using those to make crafts. I'm sorry, but there is no way I would make a craft with something like that. lol
Often wondered that myself.
I always wondered about that...thanks!!!
I've often wondered if the growth hormones added to dairy products could possibly be absorbed into the human system and be contributing not only to the precocious puberty you mention, but also to the obesity epidemic amongst children (of course, I realize the sedentary activities such as gaming also contribute to this problem).
I avoided any dairy products with that growth hormone when my daughter was younger and bought organic instead just in case.
Thanks for the info, DB!!!
I often wondered too.
Years ago my niece got a small bird on her stomach. The tattoo artist (I use that term loosely) asked her if she planned on getting pregnant and, if so, to think about placing the tattoo somewhere else. She went ahead and got it on her stomach. Three children later, it looks like a vulture spread out on multiple branches (those would be the stretch marks).
I have wondered if
I would actually be a bit faster if a little tipsy (as more relaxed), but I'm afraid I would end up too drowsy after a bit.
I wondered the very same thing.

I have often wondered how people sm
find sites like this. A while back there was a young girl that asked for money to help pay her bills due to credit card debt. People actucally sent her money. How are these sites even found? Just curious?
She is quite fashionable. Yes, I wondered where her

I often wondered if a hysto
would help with PMS symptoms. I even thought about exaggerating a few of the physical symptoms, if needed to get one. I do have back pain to the point of seeing a chiropractor. The cramping isn't too bad and I don't have a heavy/long cycle. I just have severe PMS. Thanks for your input.
good for you, wondered how you
were doing. I am so happy for you. The decision you made was a good positive one and that alone would improve your outlook and mood.
OMG!! That's it. I wondered why mind was so.....sm
explosive and obviously ready to fight over just anything. Why I never took this into consideration I will never know, but that is so right on!!
I have wondered if I have fibro too...sm
I have been soo tired too. I know tiredness goes along with fibro so I wondered. I don't know.
I have always kind of wondered if they ...sm
were really his because the children look 100% white to me. I mean, I know, it is possible I guess to have all white features. It is just I haven't seen a mixed child myself who didn't at least have a tanned skin who was of mixed race. I had a sneaking suspicion that he wanted 100% white children seeing as how he obviously wanted to be white himself. I mean, he did something to his skin to lighten it, and it was lighter than some white people's skin. So I can see him not wanting a child with dark or even slightly dark skin as a lot of mixed children have. If he wasn't comfortable himself having dark skin then do you think he wanted them to have dark skin? I don't. I could be wrong, but I have always suspected they weren't really his by blood. Of course, he was still their father whether they were his biologically or not. He is the only dad they knew. So he was the father, yes, but biologically, I don't know.
Hmmm, wondered why they had the cap on that baby
in the Bahamas? Did anyone else notice that? Baby mama drama continues.
Dang, I wondered why it hurt so much
sharper scissors, huh?
I had wondered if it was bec his joints are sore (sm)
That is interesting. He does seem arthritic these days but I thought it was just from him being so old. I had wondered if he was chewing his paw (the top of his paw, not the pad) because his joints hurt. I feel so bad for our poor pets who can't tell us what is wrong. I guess he will have to go to the vet (whether he likes it or not!)LOL
I also wondered why she mentioned biracial
it sounds racist to me to tell you the truth. Instead of saying children, why separate them? Oh by the way, I don't live in Chicago, live in the south, have biracial child, grown now and she told me NEVER had a problem in school, if anything she always told me had the best of both worlds! She has a wide mixture of all races in her friends from Caucasian to Asian. I as well as she take people for how they act, not a certain color.
Have often wondered why they take my picture at such an angle (sm)
to make me look like I have a major second chin. WHen I look in the mirror I think I am holding my head tilted back and it doesn't show to me as much. (The glory of looking through trifocal lenses I suppose.)
If you are happy with yourself and healthy, don't stress about it. I think we spend too much of our time obsessed over our appearance anyway.
P.S. this came from a fat and sassy grandma, so take it for what it is worth.
I agree with you. I just wondered if all the folks
speaking out in defense of the bible being there would feel the same if it was another religious document that was not in line with their beliefs.
Out of curiosity, do they have bibles in public school libraries? I honestly don't know.
I wondered about that as she is going to costa rica for
several weeks this summer, plus cheerleading camp, plus "regular" summer camp. We got her an IPOD last year so maybe a gift card in her stocking to download some more music would be okay?
Worried, horrific rib pain (I think) and wondered
if anyone else has ever had this, what did it turn out to be. I was diagnosed with fibro but this is really unbearable. Any thoughts?
I could have written your post. I've wondered too.
 
So glad you asked this, have wondered the same thing. nm
!
Totally agree and I've always wondered...sm
HOW the H**L do they get away with it when they obviously are NOT the majority?!!?? I don't get it. And if they have "rights" to have things their way, what about OUR rights to have it OUR way??? I've just been baffled and dumbfounded about this. Especially the whole Christmas thing. It seems to me, that if 99% of the people WANT Christmas parties or Halloween parties or whatever then they should have them. It would then be the parents right to keep their child home from school on the days of the parties they do not believe in. The same goes with the Pledge of Allegiance. If you don't believe, don't participate. Don't take away everyone else's right to have it! I also don't understand how these people can live with themselves. They have to know they are the minority, yet they took away our rights, not to mention in some cases, many, many, many years worth of history! I'm talking about everything, not just the school parties and such but things like taking God out of the courts, the Pledge of Allegiance from schools, etc.
Can you imagine if we did our presidential elections the same way? The winner being the one with the fewer votes just because some p*ss head was a crybaby and couldn't deal with not having his own way. To me all of it is just a DUH! situation or as Carlos Mencias says it "dee dee dee!" and shame on the courts/government or whoever lets these idiots get away with it!!!! MY rights have been taken away because of a FEW a**holes that apparently weren't getting any satisfaction at home so had to get their jollies off on something else!
Same goes with banning books from libraries, shows from tv, etc. If you don't like it, don't buy it, don't watch it, don't look at it! DUH! I don't like onions but I'm not sueing grocery stores because they sell them and having them banned from the shelves! DUH! DUH! DUH! FREAKIN' DUH!!!!
And WHY the H*ll are WE, the majority, not putting up the same fight the p*sshead, friggin crybabies did to get these things back??? Instead we sit back and p*ss and moan and cry about it. (and go off on boards like I am right now, lol)
Struck a chord, sorry. It's been building for a very long time. 
U, ttoo, am glad to see you back,. I always wondered
that they sent you home with fever and so much pain.
Never hesitate to go to the ER when you are in severe pain and have fever.
Better safe than sorry.
Especially if one THINKS having a heart attack or stroke.
Because here 'time is of the essence.'

I was not laughing at anyone. I just wondered why people didn't post

I thought about it too. Michaels has lots of beads. Just wondered if my mature
xxxxxxxxx
No, he is not..I have a friend...
coming to feed the cats (live in the country, have 8 outside cats!) and 3 inside cats. I feel bad making her come and mix food for him...we live 25 miles from town. A vet told me that he will either eat or just drink water and would be okay...but I will worry about him! I have been cooking extra chicken, turkey, etc. for him..my husband says he is spoiled!
I had a friend who had those and
apparently they just observe them. Maybe you should get a second opinion if you are having pain. Hope you feel better. 
too bad- my best friend
has 'the gift.' That is about the only way I know to put it. She cleans my house for me and she can do in an hour and a half what it would take me all day if not two days to do. And it just looks so clean and bright and shiny when she is done!! LOL I mean, there is clean and then there is CLEAN!! And when she folds my laundry I don't even need to iron it later! We have the best deal worked out- she has one of my vehicles on a sort of 'permanent loan' and I pay the insurance on it and I also try to pay her a little extra here and there, and she comes over and helps me keep my house clean and helps me stay on top of my bills. I have a pretty bad case of ADD.
If you were in this area I would maybe lend her to you for a while, LOL. I know she would like to find just one or two 'regulars' that she could clean for to make a little extra money on the side.
Friend
If she is really a good friend, stick with her. REAL friends love you warts and all. If her behavior is causing you true anguish and she is an acquaintance... go your separate ways. Money comes and goes -- true friends don't.

My friend's SON. not MOM!
Sorry for the typo. I am a BAT brain today!
Friend? Some friend! sm
Yes you should be mad, but only at yourself. Giving $$ once I can see. Maybe twice. You have been used by this 'friend'. Doesn't matter how nice you think she is, you have found out otherwise. You are out $$ which you generously gave in thinking it was being used to help her out, yet she has taken advantage of you and therefore, that speaks reams about her character, or lack thereof. I would be disappointed in her and mad at myself for falling for her sob story. I'd tell her exactly how I felt from the heart and would end the friendship since it was based on lies. She has the characteristics of a con woman. Time to cut the losses and move on...and learn!
friend
If it is something that is opening her up to being hurt in anyway most defintely i would tell them. It is their choice then to decide what to do. You know how some parents really shouldn't be parents and others are great parents!
friend?
I actually had to call a parent before. My daughter had asked ex-friend to stop writing things about her in her online diary which she did for a while. When it happened again, with a statement to the effect of you asked me to stop writing about you, too bad!, I called the mother and had a little chat. Never happened again. In this case, she actually used my daughter's name so I brought up the fact that it was libel. Print out the bulletin to show parents if you have to.
Friend
I would want to know if it were my daughter. It might get complicated when you first tell them and could cause problems but in the long run you may very well be saving her life. Please don't hesitate to tell the parents.
been where you are, my friend -
I am so sorry. I know this is hard, but here is an idea to try. Have your vet get you some Buprenex to administer at home. It is a very small amount of liquid you give via syringe inserted between her cheek and her teeth. You shoot it into the mouth. Takes less than a second and is painless. It is absorbed nearly instantly. It also causes far fewer side effects than most pain killers. This has worked like a charm when my cats had to have teeth pulled, for one that had all its teeth pulled due to severe stomatitis, and one who had oral cancer in his jaw. Try baby food (the meat types) and AD canned mixed with Pedialite to get food in her and keep her hydrated. You will know when it *is time* to let her go, but please give these things a try and let us know how it goes! My best to you.
Thank you - about my friend (sm)
She was a Christian and throughout her illness she asked for prayers for God's will to be done, not for her healing (although many of us still prayed for her healing). Many of the people posting on here blowing the horn about what great Christians are, are not acting the way true Christians should. I will admit to everyone that I am confused. I can't answer the questions about the suffering that goes on. I am not going to say that those people suffering just didn't have enough faith. The fact is you are not going to get what you want just because you pray for it. You might and you might not. I still believe, but many things in the world still don't make sense to me. I think somewhere along the way, we have gotten the message confused. I posted a link above about some little children who I think have it right.
A friend of a friend has had it done - sm
She did it about a year ago and has lost over 100 pounds but recently starting having severe problems. They ended up having to take them out as she was unable to eat at all basically; nauseous, constant vomiting, etc. She feels much better now though. Not sure of the details but that is the basic gist of it for her.
I'd be mad...no one else is her friend, so why should you be? (sm)
No reason for you to put up with her any more than anyone else does. She's just a snob - maybe if everyone ignores her for a while she will get the hint!
Friend?
Ever hear of a toxic relationship? Sometimes they are terribly hard to break, but you will be much better off if you cool it with her for a while, just see her when you absolutely have to.
I have a friend that did this went from Bob to Rob - sm
I just had a hard time switching to the new name as I had known him for years as "Bob". To him it was more an acknowledgement of his coming out as gay I think. I could care less that he was gay (and had known for a long time before he "came out") but he got mad that I would not call him Rob and so cut off all contact (we are on opposite coasts now, and then, so it is not a big deal either way). Upsetting to lose a friend over something so stoopid, we were both wrong I'd say, I should have tried harder and he should have cut me some slack as I had been a good friend for years. ---This guy's family you mention probably has the same problem, they know him as "Michael"; he should cut them some slack as that is what they are used to. My brother is named Mike, and we all call him Mike, my SIL is the only one who calls him Michael (he has never asked us to call him Michael though). I think he should just learn to live with it and use his new name with new friends and leave his family alone.
I have a friend like that too, SM
She does have a chronic medical condition, but is doing very well. She exercises with a personal trainer several days a week, takes long walks every day, and recently helped her stepdaughter remodel her home! However, she has a handicapped sticker (she brags about never having to walk very far in the winter) and not only that, is on SS disability. She hasn't worked in several years. Oh -- and if her DH or one of her teenagers runs errands, they take her van so they can get the close spots too. :(
And yeah, maybe I'm being judgemental too, but I agree with you 100%.
friend...
You know I guess some people are different but if someone pays $1000 for something I AM NOT asking to borrow it. I don't like borrowing other people's things. If I break it I feel it is my responsibility to replace it. So I just don't. Some people have no problem with it.
Friend
My good friend had a baby 8 days ago. Beautiful baby boy! Well her husband took off work 2 weeks to spend time with the baby. Her mother also lives with them and helps her too. Her mom also took off a week. Well I am friends with her mom also. We talk on the phone too. I thought I would not call and bother my friend until her husband went back to work. She won't talk on the phone if her husband is home. I know, don't ask. They don't want to take away from time with each other from what I understand. I personally do talk on the phone when my husband is home. Different strokes for different folks I guess. Anyway me and my friend always talked on the phone before the baby was born almost every day. Unless her husband was off work. Well since she has had the baby and her husband went back to work, she just has withdrawn herself. Doesn't want to talk to anyone. Made the comment to her mom that she doesn't want any company. Her mom called yesterday and I knew my friends husband was working so I told her mom tell her to call me later when she gets a chance. The baby sleeps alot so I figured she would. But she didn't. I guess I am just confused. I never went through that. I wanted to talk to friends. After a few days of recooperating I wanted friends to see my baby and all. But I don't understand her. I know every one is different and I just have to respect her wishes but I as well as another friend of hers is confused. I should also mention her baby was born with clubbed feet. She has really been upset about this and asked me in the hospital not to tell anyone. How can this be hidden when the baby will wear casts for a while? I am wondering does this sound like postpartum depression?
