In Reply to: oh puhleeze - an employee gets hurt at Walmart - Walmart disputes all their workers comp cases! nm
comp for it. This is a fact. I don't know where you get your facts from, but I think you are wrong on this one. Obviously. And even if they do dispute it, it does not mean the employee won't get workman's comp for it. A LOT of companies dispute claims. If they didn't 80% of their workforce would be out on Workman's Comp. Oh, my hand hurts. I have carpal tunnel, I need workman's comp! Oh puhleeze!

I do not shop at Wally World...
Besides some company policies, which go against my personal morals, I do not like crowds. However, have you wondered where all the mom and pop stores have gone. If you live in a small community like I do, you will find that your choice of shopping is very limited...Wally bought out the market. Many MT's cry about their jobs going overseas, you should cry about products being produced overseas, being imported back into the U.S., and unskilled labor force having no choice but being employed by Wally. There are very few companies that are left that can train people, let alone invest in them, when all the jobs are going off shore. If you support Wally, you support Americas expansion into the Chinese and foreign markets.
i love wally world
i too am guilty of shopping at wal-mart and have caught LOTS of grief about it from friends of mine who....make more money!!! and who aren't single moms and don't have kids. but i totally get the person who posted about cutting off your nose to spite your face and the consequences of poor work conditions shown by the tacit approval of patronizing the store, as well as the posting about what many MTSOs have done to MTs (although i see that climate changing in a positive direction too, albeit excruciatingly slowly!).
on the other hand, there is such a thing as "change from within." it also seems there's room for the big mega-giant conglomerates like wal-mart, as well as the mom&pop stores - overall, neither will go out of business, though many smaller communities have sadly seen the demise of the latter with their very quaint and charming main streets. i don't think the issue is black and white, and it seems some stores are much worse offenders in some states than others. i'm hoping the employees in litigation win, that justice prevails, and that, hopefully, this will carry through to how all wal-mart employees are treated.
my particular gripe is how many very productive workers and contributing citizens have no insurance because they're part-time employed. seems to me if insurance is offered to all employed individuals (and unemployed, for that matter, but i digress), then you ultimately increase the bottom line by having more energetic, happier, HEALTHIER, saner workers willing to give 100%, as well as rewarding others for thinking outside the wage-slave, 9-5 box and enabling them to work a couple part-time jobs (i myself would LOVE to do this), or to embark on starting up their own businesses. regarding MT, with its sedentary and physically repetitive work environment, i personally find it unhealthy to expect anything more than 35-36 hours to be full time, preferably 32. i work about 28 now, some in split shifts, and am a single mom of a 6yo and couldn't lead the very full and rewarding life that i do were i forced by circumstances to do this full-time. i'd be miserable, and life is too short for that, even if i have to go through it without health insurance!
Sam-E found at wally world, CVS, etc. take 1 for 2-3 weeks, no improvement increase to 2 q.d. work

Pantry full and freezer full...but will NEVER eat Spam!
//
Pantry full, 2 freezers full.
Only need to get paper products and fish. I have lots of tuna, Spam, canned chicken, sardines, corned beef hash, etc.
Got our veggie seeds last week.
Stocking up on more canned veggies and fresh veggies, mostly potatoes, as soon as I can. Potaoes last quite a while in our cold room, which is an extra bedroom with no heat. Also want to get extra bread. Love homemake bread, but DH doesn't like it for sandwiches, so I have to get store-bought bread for that. I can still buy bread at my local produce store at 2 for $1.75 and it freezes very well. In spring, it used to cost 2 for $1.25, but that's still cheaper than other places.
I'm not doing this because of what's coming. I'm doing it because I've done it for years, but usually in the fall. This fall I could only buy a few things at a time because DH not working, so I figure another month, I'll be back to normal.
Go to Wally
one of those huge body pillows. Not the curvy special ones. Just an extra long pillow. I put it under my head, under my belly and between my legs. Was fabulous! Cost ya 8.88, if I remember correctly.
Me too!! Oh the ever elusive Wally...sm
I was never close, especially with T and J and their massive line counts. I was hoping this would work so I could catch up with some great friends. I have no clue who you are yet, so I guess you may have to give me some more clues. You probably already know who I am by the long entries I write, and of course Shaggy.
Yeah I bet everybody reading this is wondering what I'm smokin! HAAA! HAAA! I'll never tell. ![Doofus](http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_1_5.gif")

Rude or not, we threw ourselves our
own housewarming party too.
We weren't expecting gifts. It was just a fun way to have everyone over, have fun and break the house in.
I didn't register, but a lot of people brought gifts that I happened to like a lot. If you register, I would only tell the people who ask if you are. I wouldn't pass out cards in invites. We also received a lot of gift cards as well. I just put those to use for buying school clothes though since we spent so much on the actual party.
My son threw college away....
My mother was gonna pay for everything including tuition, books, clothing, you name it. He went in the front door and out the back. Later my father offered to send him to some sort of trade school, all expenses paid. Son married then, 2 children, turned it down. He basically has had horrible attitude towards any job he has ever had and usually quit/fired. I have not talked with him now in about 3 years (he lives close by). I have wished he and his family the best- I quit being the bank for them. If I could make it without extra help around to raise 2 children, with their family having both parents there, children out of high school, they can certainly make it. Good luck to them.....
If only life never threw us curves?
I say seek some help from a counselor even if just for yourself right now. If you already say "I want full custody", that's NOT fair to your child. No one is perfect, but your child needs a father no matter what shape or size. He may be grieving and he may grieve for a long, long time. Have you lost your parents? Two months is not a long time to grieve and just "get over it". I know this sounds harsh, but I cannot believe if you really loved this guy you would post something like this as if you have zero tolerance unless your husband is perfect? I think you should cut him some slack. It is winter time, which can cause seasonal depression as well. I say encourage, not discourage. But it sounds like you've pretty much made up your mind that you're done with him. That's such a shame for your 4-year-old. I'd think twice before divorce as this is not teaching your son anything other than it is okay too quit if things get rough. Marriage is not always bliss but it is these times that makes it so much stronger... Take care but please think of your son and the fact that splitting up will affect him greatly forever....
Do you remember when they threw a fit because the women said
they wanted their faces covered on a driver's license? Don't get me started. If they don't like the way it's done here, move back to where they came from. I just can't understand why we have to adapt the culture of everyone else while denying our own.
So it wasn't contest where they threw bird out of plane and

I guess the age threw me. I thought he was in school as an adult. nm

Parents with child who threw teddy bear over the overpass (sm)
I would not! No would I have gone after that teddy bear. I would have told my child, "Oh, well, you threw it, you lost it." That boy is 10 years old! My rule is to never give in to anything demanded through a temper tantrum.
Then they can get right back on their tires and rafts and float on back to Cuba! nm

I know full well that I was able to...
say "no" to sex at 18 years old, and 17 and 16 and even before that. I knew what sex was and how babies are made. I dated older men and I held my ground. I do believe that all 16, 17 and 18-year-olds know exactly what they are getting into. I think the man is a creep and that he, because of his authority position, had an obligation to stay away from her, but I just can't see two consenting adults having sex as a crime. Inappropriate--absolutely.
Tom Jones - they threw panties at Ton Jones LOL
Full foil and cut - $100 nm

HAHAHAHA - I too got FULL of myself..sm
Got full of myself when I lost the weight....I had gone from 210 to 158 and really got so full of myself for a period of time...started wearing dresses and heels and all that stuff *LOL*
For the full 45 days!!!! nm
!
Full of Joy Sister Cat!!!
Thanks Dahling!!
Is it a full moon? (nm)

I think she full of baloney
Stranger things have happened, though. You are positive she had a hysterectomy? It just doesn't pass the smell test.
..... she IS full of baloney (duh) nm

You are full of information!
Thanks!
Do you remember when Nick went away to boarding school at something like 7 and came back 19? It's completely crazy but I know they have to do it to keep the story line going. I can't wait to see what he looks like though...Sharon or Nick. Michael's dad, I thought that was a dead issue. I wonder who decided to go ahead with finding him. Here we go with Gloria again huh. lol
I missed today but watched yesterday's online. I'm so glad Victoria got a chance to talk to Sabrina. I'm still hoping Sabrina doesn't kick the bucket but sounds like she will. I wonder how Adam will like step-mommy Niki moving into the ranch...I think that's where things are headed.
You are still full of rage.
Shut up, you say? Tell it to yourself and then, see professional help. A pastor would be a good place to start. Many of them dedicate their ministries beyond the pulpit to domestic violence and abuse. For those who do not feel at home in a church, they have many resources to sliding scale social services, often some of which are free of charge.
Because this is a board full of
professional people who strive to be as accurate as possible in what they do. I just figured they'd want to know. You never know when you're going to be called upon to type that next national security document that needs to reference a Navy SEAL and you'd want to be correct, wouldn't you?
Yes, now I'm being silly.
I'm just saying, she might not know the full story if
she wasn't around until the friend actually died. Perhaps, they had marital problems before the diagnosis. I'm not saying he is or isn't a scumbag, I'm just saying if you had no idea the woman's husband left her until after she had died and you were at the funeral, then you probably don't know much else about her personal life.
She already stated that the garage was full
and that they said they would take them instead. Sometimes you do things like that for family, ya know?
Also, she would most definitely say, "why did you store them near the street where you had other things stolen before and stored yours in a safe place?" That is negligence!
Since their quads were not stolen, only the ones right by the street, it is obvious they acted negligently. She stated that the only things stolen on the property were right near the street before. Why would someone put something that they are storing for someone in the same place? That is negligence.
I have no doubt she would probably tell the OP that they should have cleaned the garage and took care of their own quads, but legally, her sister is at fault.
Did you know you can watch the full episode on www.cbs.com?
Something new they started, pretty cool!
Better question to ask..... Do they get full at lunch? sm
My youngest who took those finally asked me 1 day to add a sandwich as those just did not fill her up. She is a very petite 8 year old who is very active. They are just not enough!! :)
Oh, and take one of those carriage rides for full
xx
HMMM, I would...Be HONEST and pay in full...nm

My daughter got full tuition
room and board and books paid to Stanford University. She had very good grades and we filled out the FAFSA. They gave a huge financial package to her becuase of our income, which is middle class, but so many people who go there have higher incomes that we qualified for quite a bit of aid. You should apply to whatever school you want to go to because you never know how much they will offer. She also has taken out the PLUS loan for the last 3 years, but the total will be less than half a year of tuition.She is a junior this year and we are so glad she didn't let financial worry keep her from applying to the university she dreamed about. Good luck.
not cute since Full House!
They are really thin.... I hate to admit - because I'm not really a fan of hers - but I think Angelina Jolie is really pretty. . . I've also always thought Julia Roberts was pretty, though not "beautiful".
Before this turns into a full blown....sm
back and forth free for all, you also don't know me personally to make assumptions about my personality. This has gotten old quickly, so I'll leave with these thoughts.
You expressed an opinion saying you were ill about her treatment which you thought was above and beyond.
I expressed an opinion, in turn, basically saying if you were in her situation you would want that same protection, considering it's very plausible that it's the obsessive fans and need to know that probably put her in this situation.
Opinions are opinions, facts are facts, and considering all the information any of us knows come from cutthroat reporters who are looking to make that big story, it would be rare if anyone knew any true story about a celeb.
I know if I were famous and hounded by people 24/7, and having a mental breakdown to boot, you can bet your bippy I'd do whatever in my power to make sure I had nobody around who could violate my privacy any more than it had already been violated.
As for the doctors getting suspended, if they weren't on her case, and it's not a teaching hospital, and if she has security, then it's for a reason, and they should have known better than to violate her privacy. Doctors can violate HIPAA just as easily as anyone else, and that's what they were doing, because it's also very possible that those same docs who just wanted a quick peek, probably couldn't keep it to themselves, or they wouldn't have been nosing in her business in the first place. They got less than they deserved.
Walk a mile in her shoes. Have sympathy and compassion in your heart for those who need it, which she obviously does!
Full blown celiac here sm
If I eat wheat or oatmeal (I can't have rye or barley either, but it usually isn't something I am exposed to) I feel like I can't breathe for a couple of hours, my belly bloats up, I start tooting like a banchi and then I can't leave the house until all diarrhea leaves me. It is TMI, but celiac stools are yellow to chalky gray, even white, NOT normal and are extremely foul as well.
What this can do to you is make you anemic. You can have malnutrition from never being able to absorb the good stuff in your food. You might be either very thin or rather overweight, but you always feel horrible, no energy, tired. Food never makes you feel better, no matter how hungry you are and how much/little you eat.
Celiac sprue is considered an autoimmune at this point. The body can't digest the gluten (a type of protein) in wheat, barley or rye. Oatmeal has gluten, but it is chemically different from the others mentioned here. Some celiacs can eat it, some cannot; I cannot. You can't eat any Quaker products because they are all severely cross contaminated and will make you sick. What happens when you eat gluten all the time, is that the villi in the intestines flatten and/or fall off. Their surfaces exchange nutrients from the gut into the body. If they are not present or not functional, it dimishes absorption by 80%. On the other hand, celiacs who go on a gut healing diet will have their villi return to a healthy state (about 90% of celiacs recover the lining of the gut).
If you have another AI, you have to know that celiac likes to piggyback with other AI disorders, particularly SLE and Sjorgen's. Also, it is believed that 2/3 of celiacs are concurrently lactose intolerant and/or allergic to dairy. It is estimated that in the US about 1:150 people is a celiac, whereas 1:4500 will be diagnosed during their lifetime.
Never fear, however...gone are the days of rice cakes and hard rice bread! There are many many books on making gluten free bread with bean and alternative grain flours. There is plenty on the internet too. The best book I can recommend is "The Allergy Survival Guide" by Melina, Stepaniak and Aronson. It is everything free...no animal products, eggs, dairy, nuts, fish, shellfish, wheat, yeast, soy...and the recipes are DIVINE.
The best part is that since going on a GF diet last summer I rarely have a day when I am tired and feel crappy, as long as I behave. I have lost about 40 lbs with no effort, unless you call eating fruit, veggies, soy and beans constantly in as large a quantity as I like, an effort. I have been able to add some GF desserts back into my diet and not gain weight. I also have SLE and I am on 7.5 mg of prednisone every day (weaning to 5 mg). Despite doing a 2-month loading dose of prednisone to get the SLE under control last summer, I dropped 18 lbs the first month on it and another 10 the next month and we all know what pred can do to your waistline.
I'll go and make my polenta crust pizza for supper and enjoy the fact that I won't feel sick after I eat and it will taste wonderful.
At this point I think he is full of hooey - sm
he is calm as can be and acting totally normal, humming about the house, etc. I am just sitting back and watching. He has lied in the past to me in order to make me act. Right now he wants me to get moving on my cc issue and either consolidate, do settlement with one of those companies, or declare bankruptcy and I am unsure what to do. He also wants me to start putting stuff on ebay which again I have not done and he is upset about that. So I think he is just playing games at this point, he can be very childish, he is also clinically depressed so that is no help to the issue as he won't get treatment. He had to re-sign and email in forms about drug and alcohol testing yesterday....not the sign of someone about to be laid-off I don't think. There are 2 other guys in the company I think would go before him as he has been a very valuable employee and gets the job done quickly and well....whereas these other 2 guys milk every job and cost the company more money, he also says in cheaper hotels when he travels and the other guys get $160/night rooms whereas he gets $80/night rooms. So they would be pretty dumb from a business standpoint to lay him off and keep these two others, one actually has a brain injury and cannot troubleshoot at all which is a big portion of his job. They have to tell him what the job is, then he can fix it, or give him just maintanance jobs to do. So for now I plan to sit back and watch for a few more days, the weekend will tell me if it is true or not. I can also call his manager and ask what if anything is going on. He will tell me (friend of the family as well). --as for the kids going to parents, too far away unfortunately, so not an option. I will ship them off to a neighbor for an hour or so to play over the weekend though and find out once and for all. Especially since we'd have to find out about unpaid vacation, any severence pay, his 401K....I plan to approach it on that note, ask him for the planned date of lay-off, etc. If I get no straight answers then I will know is really full of it. He'd be really ranting about it all if he was about to lose his job, then again he does surprise me every now and again. Thanks for the advice though.
I have one that says "his nose was full of snot."
I'm not kidding. I'm told to type it verbatim and what he says is what he gets.
Eeeuuww.
Not using the entire bottle of something and just opening full ones! SM
I have quite a collection of shampoo bottles with about 3/4 inch in the bottom!! Makes me mad at myself!
Fake, but full-sized for the first time
in years.
With so many family members with terrible allergies to real trees (or the spray used on them), it's safer for me to have fake. Plus it might be less tempting to the boys to lift a leg on. We'll see.
Maybe they will create a series! Full House

Got some beautiful new furniture..but full of static. sm
Had the furniture delivered on New Years eve and we have all had the shocks since then. When you sit on it and move you can hear the static in the fabric. The poor dogs look like they got their tale stuck in a light socket!!! The fabric is a micro-suede in choclate brown. Any ideas on what to do to get rid of the static in it?? We have a dry/moisture gauge in our house and it is in the "comfort zone" so we are not dry right now. Help!!!!
My husband has a kennel full of beagles...sm
He rabbit hunts with them and loves it. Before rabbit season went out which I think it just did he was hunting rabits with the beagles all the time. I think he enjoys the dogs hunting and watching them more than actually wanting rabbits. My husband has said he will never move to a subdivision either because he wants to be in the country where he can have his privacy and dogs and all but that doesn't bother me. I am fine living in the country. I couldn't take the keeping pigenos in a cage just to kill them. I would not like that. Now my husband if he has been hunting does tick checks on himself before he gets a shower. That is gross to just leave them until you are ready to pluck them off. I couldn't handle the junk either in the yard. My husband would have our yard looking like no telling what if I would allow it but I just stay on his you know what and I keep it looking pretty good. If he leaves a mess and doesn't clean it up in due time I have to do it because I don't want my yard looking like junky.
Now when it comes to being mean to the dogs and mistreating them there is no faster way to just make me mad as a firecracker. If someone makes the mistake of mistreating a dog in front of me I will go of. I don't think I would be able to restrain myself. I might have to actually become violent. That is just the way I am. I love animals and especially dogs. My husband doesn't mistreat his dogs. But he knows if he ever did he would pay dearly. I do not tolerate cruelty to animals. Animals many times can't defend themselves but I can.
This season has been full of twists and turns! sm
Boy, what a goon Eric is!!! I think he is such an innocent young man. To trust those women, good grief! I believe he is the only person ever to give up immunity in all the seasons of the show. It was bad enough when James got voted off with two idols in his pocket, but I think last night with Eric handing over his power to those girls was insane. He was dominating the game, yet he allowed himself to be sucked in. Amanda has played a cool game with her manipulation of various players. I can see her winning. I cannot say I care much for the other two girls as winners at this point, but we shall see. I will definitely be watching on Sunday! 
My life is full of love from my two children.....

No he is full blooded pit bull with papers...sm
But everyone thinks he has boxer in him. He has always looked like a boxer because of his color. Everybody thinks he is a boxer or boxer mix.
Whether full pit or mixed pit, loads of shelters will NOT
let them be adopted out. I was at a shelter the other day, lady came in wanting to retrieve a pit her daughter had taken from her home in a drug bust. The person was told could not let go, it was a pit and the woman said but it is not full and the answer was NO difference, mixed, full they are a danger to society and the people who would adopt know this. The shelter has sign on door (pits have green signs on their individual place) and the sign says no pure or mixed pits adopted out. Don’t you just think maybe these people who have had experience with the breed probably onto something? Naaaa, people just want to keep thinking otherwise. Your life, not mine.
No, I was working a full time job, came home, took
care of my kids, didn't go out, had no money to go out with. I said I could have worked 2 jobs, but chose not to, rather chose to spend some time with my kids.
