Neither. Not seen dad in the 21st Century, but did see mom to meet my stepfather. sm
They were very young when I was born, only 16 and 19. I have a younger brother who is gay and they have both pushed him away too, though mom a bit less. They were very controlling, highly critical and verbally abusive. The only thing I regret about the lack of relationship is that they managed to drive a wedge between my brother and I. I would thrilled to see him and build a new, grown up relationship, but they have made that impossible.
And for the record...I didn't see either of my parents for about 10 yrs and then decided to try again in my late 30s and early 40s. It proved fruitless. They were more angry, more belittling and just as abusive as ever. I tried, but then again I have changed and I no longer need that sort of negativity in my life.
I figure it'll be a cool, 21st-century version of -

I get it...really bad in January.
I've been on medications (awful awful side effects like even worsening fatigue and weight gain) and tried the lights. Nothing works for me except getting outside for longer than a few minutes at a time and that is so hard to do when everything is covered in ice and it's freezing cold with crazy winds. I bottom out in the first week of February, feeling totally crappy about how I look and feel, and swear I'm gonna leave New England for good, but I never do. Then the days gradually start to get longer and I feel a little better with each passing day.
Back when I lived in another state, the mall was very close by and I would go walking there almost every day during the winter, but where I am now it is at least 1/2 hour away and just not worth the gas. The more rural a person is, I think the worse the depression can get.
It is so frustrating!
Is this for 1 month? Just January 2007?

me - I begin in January, right after Christmas
Season 6 starts mid-January - the 15th maybe? (sm)
There have been commercials on FOX but cannot recall the date - you can watch the trailer at FOX and the date is probably there also but couldn't find on my quick search. I'm having serious withdrawal myself :(
Her name was Meredith Emerson, and it was just last January that she was killed.
I know the story very well, and even hiked in memory of her a few weeks after she was killed. Her murder caused great grief along the entire 2100+ miles of the trail, and all of us who love the trail know full well what can happen out there.
The trail community is very difficult to explain to people who haven't experienced it. Yes, people have been killed on the Appalachian Trail, probably about a dozen or so in the over 70 years that the trail has been open. Given the thousands who walk all or part of the trail each year, it is statistically safer on the trail than in "civilization". You are correct, however, that hikers are more in danger than the people who pick them up. The most dangerous places on the trail are at the trailheads and near roads where people pretend to help hikers and then do harm. That is why I pick up hikers, because they are more afraid of me than I am of them. Also, there's quite a bit of communication that goes up and down the trail, and we do keep track of people as they travel. It's very likely that when I pick someone up near the trail, I've heard about their trip. In hiker slang, people who help hikers are called trail angels. It's a different situation. It's not 100% safe, but I choose not to cower at home. I hike the A.T. and other trails, usually with friends, sometimes alone. I tell my family, that if harm should come to me, either through accident or evil, they should remember that I go into the woods because I love it, and should I die there, they should remember that I loved it too much to stay away.
The Appalachian Trail is not the lawless, dangerous passageway that so many people think it is. More times than I can count, I've been asked about the dangers of the trail. Usually I just shrug and smile. It's not worth the argument, because I can't change the minds of people who don't know. On the other hand, I don't want to change minds. If I did, there'd be traffic jams on the trail, and it wouldn't be fun anymore.
My favorite Christmas treat is January 2. lol. be glad when it is over.

About 60 and it has been our coldest January in like 28 years. My neighboring town got

Just FYI - I have successfully sent over chocolates from November thru January with no problems -
After that you are taking a big chance of it melting!
Good advice was given here. Suggest vet check-up for kitty needs vet check. sm
I've had 2 females over the years who developed stones/crystals in urine or UTIs. Both of them started spraying inappropriately. Never had a female spray inappropriately other than in these instances. They go into spasm and can't help themselves. If it is a urinary problem, eventually you may see slight pink-tinged spray if it gets that far untreated due to the irritation from constantly trying to pee. One more thought is if the kitty is not sick, maybe the other cat won't let her use the litter box for some reason. Maybe set up another box for her.
You might want to check out the
New MT/Student board. There are lots of posts there that would probably interest you like which schools are good and those sorts of things. It is tough to get started unless you work on-site or are willing to take a cut in pay at first. Good luck to you and congrats on the new baby.
Well, what do you know?? Check this out
Maybe this would work with candles too!?!?

Hmm...may have to check into that
is it very expensive (if you don't mind me asking) I'll have to go check out their website. Thanks for the info!
Check-N-Go
Be very careful with those things. I'm in Florida and have used Check-n-Go here locally. Not sure if they have an online site, but they are very reputable.
You should check with....sm
the manufacturer of your laminate to see what they recommend.
Good luck with the dog on the rug. My sister just put in hardwood floors and their also 10-year-old Pomeranian is having a horrible time trying to walk on it.
I need to check that out
I've heard of them, actually on this board, I think. I checked them out at the time but didn't do any more than that. Maybe it's time to get one and do a pre-emptive cleansing the moment I feel symptoms coming on again.
Thanks!
Um, yes but would check that out thoroughly
a couple of neighborhoods in NJ were named this year, including where I grew up, and what a joke!
One is a town they were recently calling the *cancer cluster* and investigating due to the chemical plants and extremely high cancer rates.
It is also where they built million dollar homes smack in the middle of normal moderate priced homes and then also not too far away from the bunch of low income housing/projects they added over the years.
Well when a couple of these million dollar couples went to the public schools for the first time, they cried! Actually cried. Guess they didn't do their *homework* (no pun intended) before buying. It's been said they can't afford private school because the big deals strapped themselves just to live there. Oh well.
As for me, I'd never buy a house there and I moved away!
My family and friends are convinced the magazine was paid off or maybe somebody knows somebody, like everything else. Wouldn't doubt it. : )
Thank you...I will check it out!! nm

My friend's husband is in the hospital. He went into the ER at 7:00 Sunday night with a blood sugar of 600! At midnight, the ER clerk gave my friend a bill for $9000. I have never heard of them giving you a bill so fast! At 4:30 a.m., he went into the ICU. P.S. He is doing better, and as far as I know, no more bills yet...

It does cost. I think I paid $40 for 1 year, but it covers every subject and has all kinds of worksheets to print out.
You could check....

I don't know if they will be more expensive or not, or even if they will have exactly what you want, but they carry a lot of different brands/styles.
I did check that out....SM
and they do carry Tabletop Gallery, but not the pattern, Winterland, that I want. I appreciate your advice!
Thank you so much! I will check!!
She could check...
the CDC website for faster information. They should have information on there about MRSA and exposure risks. If not, I believe they have a number on the site where you can call the offices and request information.
Please take him to the vet to check

Thanks! I'm going to check them out!

Wow...check this out!
A doctor in Colorado found a surprise when removing what he thought was a benign growth from a newborn's brain. Instead of a microscopic tumor, out popped a tiny foot, partially formed hand, a thigh and another partially formed foot.

check on
I am checking now and there are tons of videos of him.
thanks, we should all check it out
Just checking out the website gave me enough inspiration to get to the bedroom closet today.
I'd have to check into it
I couldn't stand not knowing...in fact, I can't stand not knowing. I had a very similar situation a year ago but it was a phone call, not a note. I'm still not sure of the truth, which is very hard. Good luck and God bless
check with him sm
If you don't have kids, just put it up on the refrigerator for him to see when he gets home and see what happens. There are lots of "nuts" out there and it may not be true. Just watch how he handles it, you'll be able to tell. If it is not true, then you have to laugh at it. If you have kids, then you have to be very careful when and where you say anything, as they will never forget it, never! So be careful and certainly, let him see it as you will carry it around with you inside and get sick. Good luck!
No check,
$13 per week in check..last I heard it was to start around April 1. Only people getting checks are people on Social Security.
thank you, i will check into that sm
i've heard of aspergers, but not sure what it is. so i'll do some research. with the psychologist, i just had this feeling inside me there was something i didn't like. we won't be going back to her. i'm still looking.
thanks for your information. :)
thank you so much! i will check these out nm

check out...
Be sure to check out VRBO.com :) Lots of great deals there!
Check ebay
I found six copies on ebay, that may be one of the few ways to get new movies on VHS anymore.
You need to check with the SS Administration as to how much SM
money you are allowed to make before your benefits are affected. If you retire at 65, you are allowed to make a certain amount of money a year before affecting your SS benefits. However, you will have to pay taxes on any and all extra money you make. I know that at age 70 you are allowed to make as much as you want (or are able to) and there is no penalty to your SS benefits. You do, however, have to pay taxes, Medicare taxes and SS taxes on any and all money you earn.
Just call the SS Administration and they will be very happy to help you and tell you what amount of money you are allowed to make in the year you start receiving SS benefits.
Please check your email.

check your soundcard. nm

Check out Google
Today (Valentine's Day) Google's home page has a special way of spelling "Google". The second "g" is in the form of a chocolate-covered strawberry with chocoloate dripping down to form the bottom of the "g" but there is no "l" so that "Google" appears to be spelled "Googe".
Definitely check with an OB doctor
I am 39 now and can not imagine having a baby, my kids are 16 and 14. But if you are in good shape and this is what you want then go for it. By having a healthy lifestyle more people are living longer and many women are having babies in their early 40s.
thanks for the link, i'm going to check it out sm
it's also nice to know that i'm not "crazy" for the way i feel sometimes. there are times where i can feel like i'm going to blow up with anger. bad temper runs on my dad's side of the family. i'm trying hard not to get so angry about dumb little things. i've been learning more about God. i was brought up not going to church or my parents talking about God. i've had some trying times in the past year and have turned to Him for help and i do believe he's there for me. i do find comfort in Him. but i do feel like i have uncontrolable "outbursts", whether it's crying or getting mad. thanks! 
What is better than getting you pay check today?
Getting your tax refund also. I am now making plans for my vacation trip this summer out west!! I am so excited. I will use a tour company as my dear hubby and daughter neither one want to travel with me. Oh well, their loss and Yellowstone, here I come!

The Meaning of R.S.V.P.
Let's Clear Up the Confusion
I hope that this week's tip will benefit hosts and guests alike, because there seems to be a lot of confusion about the meaning of the above term.
Lack of RSVP's - A Growing Problem
I hear more and more often, and have found in my personal experience, that hosts often do not receive firm indications whether guests plan to attend their parties, even if R.S.V.P. is clearly printed on the invitation. This could mean either one of two things. First it could mean that rudeness is a growing trend in our society. Or, as I would prefer to believe, people no longer understand what the term means. Assuming the best, and that the decline in R.S.V.P.'s can be attributed to ignorance and not rudeness, I will clarify this for the record.
What RSVP Means
The term R.S.V.P. comes from the French expression "répondez s'il vous plaît", meaning "please respond". If R.S.V.P. is written on an invitation it means the invited guest must tell the host whether or not they plan to attend the party. It does not mean to respond only if you're coming, and it does not mean respond only if you're not coming (the expression "regrets only" is reserved for that instance). It means the host needs a definite head count for the planned event, and needs it by the date specified on the invitation.
Why It's Inconsiderate to Not RSVP
An incomplete list of respondents can cause numerous problems for a host including difficulty in planning food quantities, issues relating to minimum guarantees with catering halls, uncertainty over the number of party favors and difficulties in planning appropriate seating, among other things.
So the next time you see R.S.V.P. on an invitation you receive, please call your host and respond promptly.
Check with your hotel . . .
I have found that the hotel will usually hold the baggage until a later time.
