One of the worst punishments I remember

In Reply to: He's fighting again today. - at the end of my rope
when we bickered as kids: We had to kiss each other. How about for every time he shows violence, kicks or hits or punches or slaps, he has to do something for that sibling he has assaulted? Make their bed, fix their lunch, do their chores, be their butler type thing. For the rest of the day.

I'd say she has had enough punishments - sm
The school punished here, then you punished her by taking away her weekend treat and not allowing her to have the book. I think that is sufficient. She probably already had to apologize for disrupting the class, even if she did not I think any more would be overkill for a minor infraction. Give her a chance. Also I would not describe her behavior as acting ugly, acting up maybe, but not ugly unless she was hitting other kids or making fun of other kids. She is just a normal little girl who talked when she was not supposed to, all kids do it sometimes. Don't make a federal case about it, but do let her know she is in school to listen to the teacher and learn, and not to talk when it is not playtime.
I suppose I related to the rate of capital punishments

don't remember Minnie, but I remember Kiki! Though I would rather not.

Definitely remember Buffy's Bark. Also had a Bassett Hound and remember his bark(EOM)

The worst one yet (sm)
DS first grade teacher, teaching them the difference between their, there, and they're. Had them copy sentences off the board, something about daffodils, and it said, "they're little petticoats in the breeze" or something like that. I called her on it, and she was nasty to DS the whole rest of the year (not kidding).
That's not the worst
She told me that she knew I had been trying to have an affair with her husband (yuk and ewww! - oh is that anything like shock and aww. Ha Ha), She said she knew what my game was etc, etc., oh yes...and I should go back to my home state where "my kind" belongs. All the meantime with her finger pointed in my face. She is much larger and stronger than I am and I was too shocked beyond words to comprehend what was happening. She also stood leaning against the door so I had no way out. It was a nightmare. It took me 4 months before I stepped foot in her place again or said a word to her. Slowly we became on good speaking terms. Never did trust her after that. Now we get along okay. I eventually forgave her (she was having her problems), but I wish someone had spoken up on my behalf. I did learn at that time that blood is thicker than marriage (unless you are lucky to have a partner that loves you so much they would do anything to keep you from being hurt). Anyway...I have moved on and don't think about it as often but there are still some times when it is in my mind and it does hurt, but gotta move on.
my worst was 25
Absolute worst was my 25th...my stepmom died from an aortic aneurysm. She had just gone up to change clothes for dinner and we found her dead within 5 minutes. I think dinner stayed in the oven for 3 days afterward and I have never eaten stuffed shells again. I haven't liked birthdays since. As my dad said at the hospital, Happy F-ing Birthday, and he was not one to curse.
But, a better one was for me was 29 as I got a belly button piercing in memory of my cousin and met my DH on that birthday. Now I just try to ignore them, though 40 is rapidly approaching and I find myself feeling stuck in a rut...work to pay the bills and for gas, eat, sleep, and do it all again the next day. I wish I could go back to 21 and do it all over again!!
Worst best man ever?

Worst job..(sm)
Sonic rollerskater girl. I just didn't know how to rollerskate. There were a few accidents...LOL.
Churches are the worst.
I have more people trying to convert me to whatever they are come by my house uninvited than I do people I know. Now I open the door, tell them I'm happy where I am, I'm happy for them that they are happy where they are and that I'm working and can't be disturbed. Then I shut the door. I actually don't go to church anymore. Pretty disgusted with the whole idea really lol.
In your case, I wouldn't let them in. I think they are being extremely rude to you.
Worst one I have ever endured was...sm
At a psychiatric facility - a dictator actually dictated in the bathroom stall while having a bowel movement... actually grunted and laughed into the dictation equipment (hand-held obviously), and then finished his "big job" and then flushed on tape. I complained to the MedRec Dept head, she approached him about it, and we actually referred to him as "the Royal Flush" after that when we got his dictation...Needless to say, we didn't enjoy his transcription or his surprises. He's a big psychiatric research guy here now. Sheesh. ICK indeed. What are they thinking?!!
WHAT?! Some of the worst criminals...
at least money-wise, as in stealing church money and money from little old ladies, are the big time evangelists on TV!! Do you think these people have "lack of God"?? I personally think it's lack of values/morals in this country (and other countries of course) that cause people to commit crimes, and of course lack of conscious! It has absolutely nothing to do with lack of God! I can't count how many times I've seen news reports where people commit a crime and everyone that knew them said what a great person they are and how shocked they were that they committed the crime - plus, a lot of these people go to church and actually believe in God and it still doesn't phase them to commit the crimes. I don't know, maybe it's because they believe in God that makes them think God will save them or forgive them, so it's okay to commit the crimes?? I'm not an atheist, I just live in the same town at Pat Roberts and where that whole network of his is located and I'm sick of these people living like kings with their multi-milliion dollar homes, helicopters, vacation homes, etc., while there are people in our country that are homeless, without insurance, and starving - I'm sorry but I don't think this is the Christian way to behave and I'm sick of people saying that God is the answer to everything! I really don't think this has anything to do with why these people commit crimes.
What's the worst that can happen; you buy a new one?
I have heard people clean them by running them under the shower and letting them dry in the warm outside air. I'm going to try it, I have a backup cheapie to use if it gets ruined and I have to buy a new one.
My worst Thanksgiving
I remember the date well. It was Thanksgiving of 1978. I had made the Thanksgiving meal and had invited friends. We were living in Wisconsin away from family. Well, some friends and I were putting the last minute touches on the meal, when I heard my dog going crazy outside. I opened the door and in she came, smelling horribly of SKUNK! Needless to say no one could eat anything, as the house just "STUNK OF SKUNK". 
We did the worst Thanksgivings - how about the best?
My best one was 15 years ago. My daughter was born the night before Thanksgiving and we were ready to go home on Thanksgiving day.
My parents were having dinner at their house and a ton of extended family over who were all excited to see the new baby. We went over there (yes, before I had even gone home yet) for a couple of hours.
My husband's parents were also having a big family gathering at their place, which was closer to our house. They all wanted to see the new baby too so we went over there for a few hours too.
I was exhausted but it was still fun. Mom and baby were discharged from the hospital at 10 a.m. and didn't make it home until around 10 p.m. that night. The other kids were tired so they let mom and baby go right to bed without a fuss and dad went back to his folks for the holiday family poker match.
No one can be a worst cook than me
My husband asks me to stay out of the kitchen as he says, he and I both want to stay healthy! Ok, I do have a previous thingy I just made up, call it Spanish porkchops. How simple is this - I put a family size container of pork chops plus 2 cans of canned tomatos plus 2 large onions all together and cook over medium until the chops are done and tender- oh, I forgot the salt and pepper- but anyway that is something even I can do and I love it but then again I love tomatoes and we eat them all the time.
what is the worst song ever?
This was on our local news this morning.
My first thought was "Help me Rhonda" by the Beach Boys. Seasons of the sun is right up there for me also.
What's your 'worst song ever'?
worst song?
I have always hated "You light up my life". That was so popular years ago they played it constantly. To this day I want scream when I hear it.
worst thing ever huh? (okay almost)
I'm sorry I don't have suggestions because mine was due to my severe sinusitis as well as the prednisone I was on. You would never think that losing your taste would matter... but having to eat food, just to eat it and taste NOTHING... I tell you what, i dont take the small things for granted anymore :) (of course there were things i was happy not to taste and/or smell... nasal spray was one of them, because i knew my senses were back after using that one day and gagging!!!)
hope you get better soon!!
my worst fear right now is that even
if I have cash in my hand, it will be worthless, and might as well use it as TP.
worst = medquist
they suck
That's not the worst part. nm

this is actually the worst, I quote:
'.......Aren't boomer women great? They know how to solve a man's mid-life crisis without even breaking a sweat!'
This is so ridiculing and portraying the woman as cold and materialistic.
That's why we automatically think the worst
Everyone remembers the exceptions, rather than the vast majority whose ailments turn out to be minor.
In any case, there's no point in worrying until you're sure there's something to worry about.
I'm so sad right now. I am thinking the worst. it was reported that she sm
had paramedics on top of her giving CPR.
If this is true and she has met her demise, I think it was a combination of a heart ache and drugs to cope with her great loss. As much as people didn't like her, she is a mother who truly loved her son. I have 3 and can't imagine if one of them passed like that.
The worst for me are spitting in public,
it makes me almost lose it and then smacking gum so loud every time your jaw opens and closes, so loud and do not even try to eat at my table and suck, slurp and go on, you gotta go!
Worst Round -- I agree.
I think I am still in shock. What in the world are people thinking??? The last person to make it through to the final 12 is the very one I thought should have been voted off during the first round of elimination. Cannot stand that one -- he should have been gone a long, long time ago. Ugh.
Oh and hospitals are some of the worst places for it! (sm)
Maybe it is rampant everywhere, but let me just say, people who work all night together in a place where there are beds....
The worst part IMO is Rosie is going to be on again-UGH

What was your WORST Thanksgiving? Just lightening up a little sm
I had a few but remember these the best. First was in a snowstorm when my son came down with chicken pox and all we had left (as we were going out) was one pound of hamburg in the freezer, just had to make the best of it. Another was when we unwrapped our turkey that morning and it was bad and all the stores were closed.. This was one we planned to stay home for and have a "just us" memorable Thanksgiving. We ate all the veggies and still enjoyed ourselves, but we have something to laugh at today in our memories.Happy Thanksgiving! 
one my folks probably thought was the worst...
but was young enough i didn't stress over it then -- and laugh about it now....the backdrop is a 'granny' who was an alcoholic, already well along when all the family arrived. We mingled and visited with one another, expecting to eat within a couple hours...and my dad asks his mom, 'hows the turkey coming mom?' and she has this blank look on her face -- like she's trying to remember, and he says, let's go take a look...and she says on the way to the kitchen, 'well dear, i guess i better take it out of the freezer!!' Needless to say, there were some frayed nerves -- so we had "Chicken Delight -- which stays open all night" !!
ugh, agree. the worst. fever, too.
they give you antibiotics and you have to drink a ton of water - which, at the beginning, makes it hurt worse as the water flushes, like a hot knife twisting. After a day of medication it will start to lighten up.
Get your butt to the doctor now because it can spread down to the bladder, and that's another kind of pain you don't want on top of the kidney pain.
It's Vote For the Worst at work again.
I went to their web site and those jerks had everybody vote for the country chick. If they don't like AI they are free to use their energy to write their own show and pitch it, but they should leave other people's shows alone.
That should be the worst crisis in government!

Fun Poll: Worst/Most Interesting Job You Ever Had
This is a question I ask people often in conversation.
One of the worst jobs I ever had was when I was 16 working as a nurses aid at a nursing home. Back then, in 1980, minimum wage was $2.85, but since I was working thru my high school for work experience credits, they could pay us .50 less an hour, thus $2.35 an hour. When a patient would die, I would have to ready the patient for transport to the morgue. So, I used to wash dead bodies for $2.35 an hour. Only one of the layer's of my odd personality...
One of my favorite jobs was when I was 19 and worked as a cab driver. Now that was fun; like knowing the true pulse of the city, where everything was happening and what was going on. Many stories go along with that, helping a lady of the night trick clients, a fumbled robbery attempt where I ended up with the crook's wallet instead after beating him with a tire iron --- now that was a truly interesting era in my work career...
I think older houses are the worst for it (sm)
It's not all just dead skin..lol. I just moved from a house that was built in 1959 and had the ductwork under the house, and all hardwood floors. Dustiest house I have ever, ever lived in. I could dust under the bed and a week later there would be huge balls of dust that looked like it should have taken them a year to accumulate. My now ex-husband used to say I just didn't clean enough. Well, I can't wait for him to see for himself that it is actually the house that is a dust pit and not the poor cleaning habits of his now ex...lol. Thanks - Just had to get that out!
Glad to hear the worst is over!
Thanks for posting an update. I did wonder what the outcome had been and hoped you were doing better.
I hope the other stone doesn't present a problem if/when it passes. It sounds like it's small enough that it may not be too much trouble. Keep some drugs on hand, just in case!
Glad you're back.
Worst Movie That Everyone Else Seems to Love
What are five movies that everyone (critics, friends, society in general) seems to love that you hate?
Here are mine:
Pretty Woman
The English Patient
Any Star Wars Movie
Lord of the Rings
The Patriot
Snort and swallow is the worst - or belching.
ICK!!!
Worst AI elimination round ever - I won't give anything away
I know those on the West Coast haven' t seen AI yet, so I won't spoil it for you, but for me I was totally disappointed in three of the four. Speaking for myself it was the worst elimination I've ever seen. Let me know your thoughts after you've watched.
Just checked Vote for the Worst website - can't get on!
Not a surprise...
Makes me wonder; is he the pick for *vote for the worst*???
I bet.
I agree! Reagan/Schmaegan. One of our worst presidents.

Bill collector for a finance company-worst job, sm
I would have to call people and ask them why they weren't paying their bills. One day a week I had to do field calls for people that either didn't have a phone or didn't answer the phone. I was in my early 20's and it was the mini-skirt era. Once I was driving around trying to find an address which turned out to be bogus and a man walked up to my car and propositioned me. Luckily I had all of my doors locked and the windows rolled up. Needless to say, I quit my job shortly after that.
Aww! I loved that movie. Worst yet was Eyes Wide
Don't worry about it being too sexy. You won't be awake for those parts. The movie will put you to sleep in no time.
Maybe not, I just saw Antonella is the latest pick on that website - vote for the worst!

Middle school/junior high was the WORST 3 years
nm
Blech! The worst coffee ever. No wonder they're closing stores, who pays for that garbage?
//
My ex did that. What I remember was that it
was horrible in the summer and going under houses was not always the greatest experience. He would find dead animals and of course spiders, mice, rats.
Just remember: He's a MAN, he's not a god. LOL

Don't remember anything, just something SM
that felt like cramp and then I woke up. No damage.
My friend, who is quite tiny, said she was moved around quite a bit, but no damage done.
I feel they were excessively rough with you, but that is just my opinion. Also, it sounds like they did not give you enough sedation. You are supposed to feel very relaxed.
