In Reply to: I figure it'll be a cool, 21st-century version of - - "Lord of the Flies"! - San Francisco (nm)
“Kid Nation,” which is scheduled to have its premiere on Sept. 19, is a reality show that takes 40 children ages 8 to 15 to a New Mexico desert ghost town south of Santa Fe for 40 days and challenges them to build an adult-free society.
Several children were injured during the production; four children drank bleach from an unmarked soda bottle and another was burned on her face with hot grease while cooking in an unsupervised kitchen.
The children on the show were required to be available to the producers 24 hours a day and often worked for 14 hours or longer each day
And, last I checked, Lord of the Flies was FICTION!
This is just so unbelievable to me. A reality show bordering on child abuse and neglect? Yeah, what a country!

Put a little no fat cool whip on top, and you have a real treat
yeah, it did look like it would be pretty cool to play with, too bad its toxic -nm

For a real life-changing book, read The Last Lecture. nm
x
yeah - I read that but
supposedly it's not the stuff I feed my dogs. I use the dry Chihuahua food and Mini dry stuff.
I did get a cookbook over the weekend for dogs, but I don't know if that's safe either. I'm at a loss anymore as to what is and isn't safe to feed my dogs and cats.
he's not a real person, but that feeling is real - the magic. nm

of course it's real!!! It's all real, hence the title
gross
If I don't read before I go to sleep I can't fall asleep. I will read sm
until I begin to fall asleep. They say reading relaxes you fully and it works wonders for me.
I used to suffer from insomnia, but not since I've been doing this - about 5 years now.
Plus, I've grown so much and have gained wisdom by doing so. I enjoy Christian books and reading the Bible.
yeah, yeah - Was/still am a Sam Cooke fan...
have a series of his albums (Sam's) and my older sister was into Jackie Wilson (he died very young)......never will be anything like Motown was..........*nods*......
Very cool - thanks.nm

Cool that so rox!!!!!
 My son is in a band, too!
That's way cool!
Yes, there are good people out there. Seems like you hear more about the bad than the good, unfortunately.
Much support to you, your son and your family!
Cool!
I had a lot of pen pals when I was in junior high. We were obligated to take German and French in 7th and 8th grade and the teachers arranged for us to get pen pals in both countries. I also ended up with one from Japan. It has been 25 years since then and I am still in contact with my pen pal from France. It is such a wonderful experience.
That is so cool!
I found my first bat upstairs in the hayloft a few years ago...oh it was so cute and so tiny! My husband had to physically hold me back from trying to pick it up. I think it was a youngin' who just came inside to sneak a nap and decided bales of hay were a most comfy place to crash.
I pretty much try to make a grab for anything like that...which is totally not normal, I know.
Spiders though...well, if I see a spider, no matter how teeny, I do that thing...what's it called..."vagal."  I'm like a fainting goat when it comes to spiders for some reason. Pass right the frig out and poo myself. Not too proud of that, but there ya have it, so I can totally understand someone else's phobias for sure!
OMG!! How cool is that!!
My daughter is turning 21 July of next year and that's what I'm doing for her.
We travel about 200 miles down the road to see a pro game series usually 2 or 3 times a season, but only once this year... $$$ is low :(
We are already starting to save and plan for her 21st. She's really excited. It would be SO awesome if Carl Crawford or Rocco Baldelli yelled happy birthday to her from the outfield.
What a memory that would be!
Very cool, - sm
First as a mom who adopted her first son when he was 9, I say congratulations to you all. What a special blessing it is. Your daughter has probably already met all of your relatives, but we made a special photo album with all of the extended relatives in it and labeled each one so that he had an album of his new family. We also had a photo album of the adoption procedure with pics of all of us with the judge and pics of Anthony behind the judges desk and such. We had a great judge, who let us take our time and take as many pics as we wanted. We also planted a tree in the back yard as a reminder of adoption day, which we celebrate each year just like it was a birthday. Also we bought a special frame for the adoption certificate and it is hanging in our living room in a very prominent place. Something that we thought about after the fact and never did was to take out an adoption anouncement in the paper, just like a baby anouncement.
Just some of the ideas that we used, praying that you have a joyous and blessed life with your new sweetheart.
so cool
It was really cool. . I felt like I was witnessing a miracle - which, of course, birth is. . I doubt very many people get to see something like that - It definitely made my day!
I am such a cool mom
My DD just called from the bowling alley to ask if she and her friends could come here to watch their movie. I said, "Why yes, of course."
Now excuse me while I panic and try to clean this place up!
That is cool!!...nm
nm
Cool!
It makes such a difference doesn't it? I used to HATE my nose and used to always say if I had the money I would have a nose job. Once I had my teeth done, I can honestly say my nose does not bother me like it used to! I think a healthy smile just helps the whole face.
Cool
I didn't know about the yoga positions. I haven't ever done yoga, but it's something I'm interested in. I'm definitely going to check that out!
cool
I am so glad everything worked out for you all.
Cool!
Thank you for your reply. Do you know how to go about doing that?
Those are cool. You should
try to send them to any specific tv shows that might have characters who would wear something like that. I always figure if you can get celebrities to pick up on an item, you can make big bucks. The celebs seem to pick up on certain things for a period time and pay big $$ for them!
That is cool....sm
Sell them on ebay. Put some on there and see.
Cool
Nope, you're not out of sync. Unfortunately, with the government-run school system, you have to stay on top of things and take matters into your own hands!
Our schools (I'm in Georgia), do not start at the same time and they do not bus elementary and high school together. They do bus middle school and high school together in some instances. We do get 2 weeks for Christmas and 1 for spring break and also 1 week in Feb for a winter break and 1 in Sept for a fall break. We get out at the end of May but start back at the very beginning of August (which I don't care for!). Since we're in GA, the air conditioner thing is not an issue because every building down here has central air.
We do not have the 2-hour delay thing. That seems really silly. I think my kids would just end up staying home "sick" those days. We have teacher work days every once in a while where the kids have the whole day off of school so the teachers can plan.
Anyway, I hope this helps with your comparison!
I think it's a great idea to go the meetings and give input!
Good luck with everything!
I would play it cool
If it's meant to be, it will happen.
You're not really sure he is interested. Your gut tells you he is, and he probably is, but if he is, he will definitely make the moves.
If you act to eager... well...
And, if you do call and he was just being nice with his note, then you'll feel silly (however, I'm thinking a handwritten note is pretty personal).
There are ways to let him know you're interested. Just a look works on must guys ;-).
Also, be sure he's not hitched as well!
Seriously, be patient. Just do a lot of "thinking" about him. He'll catch those vibes too, trust me!
Good luck, sweetie.
Cool! How do you find those? sm
I've never seen any links like that...that I was aware of.
My husband always claimed since he had seen my first 2 C-sections as well as watched 1 on TV that he could've delivered our third child at home. LOL!
Way cool; you go girl! : )

That's cool, but for me it's easier to
grow the flowers than keep the feeder clean and filled. Cause I'd have some kind of flowers anyway, LOL.
Wow! That is sooo cool! (sm)
Congratulations! I don't have any advice - but would like some! How do you buy a forclosed house?? I may be in the divorced boat soon myself and I would love to know how to do something like that!
Have you tried a cool bath. sm
I have also heard rubbing the child down with alcohol helps. Prayers going up for your baby.
Take a little time to cool down
I understand your anger and I don't blame you at all - but be sure of your facts before you make a huge deal out of this. For example, your SIL might have been talking to your niece about the topic in general and your niece asked specifically about your husband and son, to be sure she understood what her mother was telling her.
Not defending your SIL at all, I'm just saying that your niece is only 8 years old and she could have condensed an entire conversation down to one sentence. Just be sure of the facts. If indeed your SIL did say exactly those words in exactly that way, then I would certainly agree that asking her why she is suddenly singling out your husband and son is an appropriate reaction.
I was recently told by my SIL that she would prefer that I didn't tickle her children (in the ribs, in front of the whole family - not like I was trying to hide it) because they have ONE family member who lives a THOUSAND miles away who is a pedophile. So they don't allow ANY family members to touch their children at all, except for a hug when you are leaving their house - and at that point, I felt awkward even about that and waited for her to say, "Go ahead and hug your aunt."
So I really do understand how you're feeling. I think my SIL is WAY overreacting to the situation but those are her children and I don't have any right to tell her how to raise them.
Your SIL may be just trying to make trouble. That is certainly a possibility. But it's not the only possibility.
Good luck. I hope the situation can be resolved without any hard feelings.
or hot and they are seeking cool!

They are cool dogs.
Heck, they could probably discourage bears and mountain lions, too!
Cool! Good example.
NM
yes, cool show.

You're a cool cat, Cat ;-) (nm)

I'm quite cool, thanks. Just wondering why you had
x
Sounds cool.
I wish I could find it in a grocery store. I don't get to the mall often, but I'll try.
very cool ! Thanks for sharing. nm

I'm impressed. Very cool.

That is cool! He seems like a hoot! nm

That is cool you got to go up to the house ...sm
when he was living there. It still has those lions on each side of the steps too. It is so cool inside. I absolutely love Elvis.
Very cool! I bet he loves it! (nm)
That's pretty cool! My cat already has a
bed set up on my desk, but she still insists on standing right in front of my monitor. So, I have these little 'barriers' of odds and ends and other assorted stuff on either side: Kleenex boxes, cups, a vase, a camera, a pair of binoculars, stuffed animals, and MT books - to keep my working space clear, but now my desk always looks like a tornado hit it!
Very cool. Learn something new every day!..nm

cool pic - I used to have an iguana
but he got to be too much for me to handle, and he didn't like me very much. He would whip me with his tail when I cleaned his cage, and eventually he got so big that he would draw blood doing that. I gave him to somebody that could handle him. No more reptiles for me! Though I still like them.
he is cool - love all his movies -

I found this really cool site!!
Hey everyone,
Not sure if anyone heard about this but just wanted to let you all know I found a really cool shopping site that gives you a rebate for every item you buy! Man that is going to help me out with x-mas coming. You do have the option to sign up and get your own mall. I did and now I am shopping like crazy!!
