Saw Jo Malone candle for $325. How much would
No, I didn't buy it. Newspaper showed high end candle and best "low end candle", which was Yankee candle in some or other scent.
Light a candle... see message
The next time you "feel" someone is with you by some strange occurence happening, light a candle. Communicate with them, actually talk out loud to them, let them know that you are thinking of them. Ask them questions. When you go to bed that night, write down the questions you may have for them and then see if you have any insightful dreams.
I absolutely love this stuff!

Hmmm, a Dexatrim candle?
:
Have you tried the electric candle warmers?
They work really well too without the flame.
Well, I guess I could lite a candle
and make everthing smell sweet. What the heck does the smell have to do with it? Glad it smells good, but really, so what?
Their longest lasting & strongest candle for me was a

I think the spray does too, but the candle smelled good in the box
no scent upon burning!!
I make around $50,000 but I work 7 days a week and long days, although I'm not a fast typer eithe
I think even if your fast, you'd still have to work more than 40 hours a week to make that but I could be wrong.
I remember those days too, but these days they don't want make any child felt left out. They wan
to make each of them feel special and that they have accomplished something. My 8-year-old brings a certificate of some kind during the day, accelerated reader award, trustworthy award, jr. achievement award, etc. I guess in a way, no one kid is pointed out as the "teacher's pet" or have the other kids being jealous of him/her for getting this or that award.

That one can really burn ya up! LOL

I really don't think I will burn in hell for having some
tombstones and a zombie on my lawn. My heart is right with God, not that it is my neighbor's business, and I just happen to make Halloween fun. Halloween is what you make of it. Not everyone is going to agree with me, but you know what? After talking to countless people about this, my things are going back up Friday when I have time to put them up. There is not one person in my neighborhood who has a problem with this, just my busybody neighbor. Thanks for all your input!
Matches... no don't burn them
About 25 years ago, my 5-year old son had really bad warts, not plantar warts though, but he had them all over, arms, hands, legs, everywhere. Before he was to start kindergarden his pediatrician wanted to remove them, maybe about 25 in all. Ouch.. I felt so bad for the poor little guy.. anyway an "old timer" told me to get kitchen matches... the old fashioned kind with red tops that you can strike anywhere.. and to soak a few in some water and then to paint the warts with that... well I did it, but was very skeptical and over the summer the warts just dried up and went away. Don't know if you can still get old fashioned matches, maybe at an oldtime hardware store, etc. It may be that they had sulfer in them and this might have been the "magic". Whatever, it worked for him.
same here, gotta burn those wicks!. nm

I don't burn candles from Yankee, but
I use those wax tarts in a tart warmer, and I found that the ones from Yankee smell the longest. They give off more of a smell in your house than candles do. Plus you can get an electric warmer, so you don't have to worry about the flame if you have animals or such, as I do. Works much better for me, just a suggestion.
I agree, but it could be burn out, because it sounds

Not together I hope.. you could burn something important LOL
I burn Yankee Candles
Right now I have one going in my office that is called "beach towel" and it smells like the beach on a hot summer day! (I'm in denial because I live in New England and it's cold here now!) In my living room, I am burning one called "chocolate chip cookie" and it smells like just someone is baking cookies! I love it! I go to Yankee Candle about twice a month and stock up! I just got about 5 of their new Christmas candles that I can't wait to burn.
Hey, I think I'll burn really tall
candles under my mailbox. Then all the bills and junk mail will burn up before it gets into my house and makes messy piles, LOL.
How efficient. :o)
Doing a slow burn here, going for the jugular
i was so involved, thought i had found some people i could trust and started an animal rescue group with. I paid the expenses to start with the understanding that i would be involved as far as being able to go to rescue animals and basically spent time interacting with them. Oh, believe you me before I did this I got this in writing with the person I was starting this with. Since January of this year when this was first started I basically have rescued about 10 cats and that was about 3 weeks ago. I went along with my coperson but she was always the one picking the animals out. I was happy to go but seems like that has suddenly dried up now since she is up and apparently making some money. I made it clear I did not want any money they might make from the sell of the animals, I was only happy to get them out of the places where they would be put down. Well, so much for MS Nice Lady. I have called her twice over the past 3 days, sent her an email asking her to call, called another lady she heavily works with in this rescuing and no answer at all. I have smoke coming out my ears. Just imagine, about 3 months ago this same person asked me to cosign on a vehicle with a person I had met 1 time for them to transport animals up north!! Well, duh, do I look that looney to you. Not only that, but then 2 months ago this same person came to me telling me she had her electricity turned out, forgot to pay her bill and wanted to borrow $500.00. Even though I am what you call a senior citizen (and when I take her behind to court, that might also work against her) I told her no way was 1 month bill that much, had to be more than 1 month and maybe she should ask her mother and/or father for that. No way Jose was I giving any money, for the animals yes, for someone who conviently forgets a bill, nah. Has anyone on here ever put a lien against someone else. This person does not have a job but has a home. I do not know if the home is in her name but I have just printed off several sheets from Craig's List where they are offering the animals for $125-$200 so she should have some money by now. She is incorporated now but when we signed the agreement she was not, just us starting out. I would think with her being incorporated and selling the animals she should also have books to show her income and such. I am going for her jugular and no more Ms Nice Nice. I am ticked. Thank goodness I have saved any and all receipts I have pertaining to all the animal care, food, etc. etc. that I have paid out.

cool baths burn with fever
I discovered cool baths really burn when you have a high fever. Maybe tepid to slightly warm may be better.
I can't burn scented candles in my house because it will

Dear Next Door Burn other neighbors down also
You should not have a fire blazing out of control- we have woods right behind us that basically connect. Oh, I was the one who called the fire department on your blaze. Against the rules here in the community and the city as far as that is concerned. Talk about loonies- maybe that is why I do not talk with you.
Well, it's gotten cold enough to burn the fireplace. I'm in northern AZ. How bout you?

Do you burn candles or other scented stuff while you work?

I burn those Yankee tarts in my tart burner
right now have Christmas Wreath in to get me in the spirit. I think they give off more of a smell than the candles.

Days gone by
I'm right there with you. It is really scary out there today.
As far as the original post, while I know arrests of innocent people are made, I do find this story EXTREMELY hard to believe. True or not, though, you are right -- protection of your child is your first priority as a mother. Pornography is no longer just looking at naked ladies, it's just downright disgusting. I have two sons, 12 and 10, and I live in fear of what is out there that could hook them.
I have many days like that too :(

in a few days?.............no no no.....sm
The faster the better on these fraud things - your daughter is going to wait a few days? This is VERY_BAD.
She should have already gotten a police report (takes 4 days to physically get it in her little hands) - and then she should have ALREADY called the bank to freeze her account, open another account.
BTW, my daughter had her purse stolen from my car - she called me immediately - I was on the phone with the bank, every credit card company, etc. (this was on a Sunday), and on Monday - I showed up at the bank and the perps got NOTHING. Time is of the essence on these matters.
When my daughter first moved out of the house back in 1999, someone stole checks from her house/desk. They got all her $$ which was $1400. She went to the bank - and the bank, at first, didn't want to give her the $$ back - but in the end, they did !!! All the $$.
Again, time is OF THE ESSENCE! Hopefully, while I'm typing this, I'm thinking you are SURE to tell me that the bank was notified via phone when it happened.
*fingers crossed*
Yes, it went away after three or four days.
As far as results, I am 45 with very fair skin. I did notice that my skin FELT nicer. It definitely felt smoother, and I thought I looked "brighter", if that makes any sense. It didn't actually erase any wrinkles, but then, I have to say that I don't have tons of wrinkles - great genetics. I have crinkle lines when I smile, but not wrinkles on my relaxed face. I still use Roc, but only about four times a week, and I'm always very careful about sunblock twice daily. (I like Neutrogena daily defense.)
Days
Do you think Sammy and EJ will get together? I hope so. Lucas is such a tool.
One of those days
I think I am to the point where is someone were to offer me $100 I would take it and take my dog and two cats, leave and not look back. Become homeless, no responsibilities or cares. I know just a bad day and tomorrow will be better. But at least I have somewhere to write this to make me feel better.
I don't think so - these days (sm)
People work into their 70s and beyond, that mentality may have been more reasonable when people retired at 60. Especially if what you want to go to school for is 4 years or less. I actually know someone that finished medical school at 40 and then started into residency - not finishing until 6 years later (extra fellowship).
Yes it is - in the old days with other
sick cats I used chicken baby food. Sometimes mixed vitamin paste available OTC in with it but that changes taste considerably and syringed some in when they were really sick. Baby food is not good for normal cats because it is high in fat but to get more calories in less food in a sick cat it always worked wonders for me. I also mixed a little warm water in it.
My first 2 days were very fun.
The work is such a nice change, constantly moving. There are all these different greenhouses, and it's the slow time of year so I'm doing detail work like making signs. Today I culled out dead plants and entered them into inventory. I have come to terms with my golf cart; it is very useful when it's time to move the "deads" over to the compost heap and empty out the containers. Then I drive the containers over to the potting shed area. We all take lunch and breaks at the same time, and everybody is super nice. I have noticed they eat a lot of fruit and healthy foods for their snacks, and I brought in our leftover veggie tray from New Year's, and they were appreciative to share that with me today. They are very into their dogs and cats, and everybody has an interest in plants in common. I can ask questions about plants any time, whether it's work related or gardening related. I got to look at slides of live nematodes today. I am being taught to recognize pest attacks to report as I do my work. So it's all very active and satisfying for me.
Now if we can just get Bear up to speed. We chose not to crate Bear because it was a longer day with DH out of town. Bear did a little better, but did work on the ottoman a little more. I think we'll try crating him tomorrow, and I'm also eyeing a bottle of clonazepam I have on the counter! I know there are herbal things for dogs I can try also; I've just never had this problem before.
those were the days
I bet the stew cooked on the wood stove was great. . some of the old ways of cooking were tastier than they are now. . . when we had the ice storm a few years ago, my fiance said he fixed all kinds of food on his wood stove. . he was quite pleased with himself. .
Tried it for a few days
but just couldn't stand the taste of the soup any longer! I also didn't lose any wieght but didn't really have high expections either. I think if you have enough will power to try something like that, then just do Weight Watchers. I haven't done it myself but I've seen many people go through that program and it seems to be a heck of a lot healthier and better overall/long run instead of putting yourself on a liquid diet (because basically that's what you're doing with the Cabbage Soup Diet/Lemonade Diet, etc).
People are always looking for the quick & easy way to lose wieght (I won't deny it, myself included). Imagine if we put those efforts of looking for the shortcuts into actually following a real nutrition & exercise plan!
I will let you know. She says it may take a few days SM
to get back to me. I am concerned for them. I can image how she and her husband feel. I saw them today and she, especially is shaken by this. Thanks for caring.
Ever have one of those days
Ever have one of those days that you type and type and type and after 8 hours look and find you've only done 600-700 lines when usually you've done more. Just am frustrated right now. It's hot (102 degrees here), and I'm tired. I'm tired, tired, tired. I feel like I'm getting too old for this (only 48 years old but I feel like I'm 68). Feels like I'm going to just wither and die in this chair. My DH will walk out one day and find me and rigamortise will have set in and he'll have to unclamp my fingers from the keyboard. Guess the heat is just getting to me and I'm tired. Not so much the heat, I'm just tired. Think I overslept. I function good on 6 hours of sleep and last night I got 8 or so. Oh well, in an hour or so I will be completed with my jobs and then will veg out in front of the TV eating something. Oh yes....what an exciting life I lead here. Okay, that's my venting of the day. Thought I'd give everyone something different to read (although I'm sure a lot of you feel the same way). 
YEP - definitely having one of those days...
Guy i've been seeing for 6 months left his wife a couple of weeks ago (yay for me) and then he tells me this afternoon that he's got a girlfriend and that it's serious and that she's supposed to be leaving her husband so that the two of them could be happily ever after. Definitely broke my heart - have cried all night, the thought of food makes me sick at my stomach, then my air conditioning goes out on the house and I have to pay a repairman to come out at 8:30pm to fix it. Oh, think I forgot to mention that I'm also married but he won't deal with anything so I have to get things fixed, pay, etc. Definitely a wo is me kinda night! :(
I go every 2 to 3 days....
my hair is extremely thick and I don't need to shampoo every day, blessed to not have oily problems or dry scalp. I rotate between 3 Redken products, Color Extend, Smooth Down and All Soft, using both shampoo and conditioner. I'm about to try Pureology soon, have heard good things about the products.
Every 2-3 days would be all right...nm

These days
anyone should understand that it would be stupid for a woman (or anyone) to give strangers a ride like that. (I am meaning those young men should get that ... not saying you are stupid.)
It's unfortunate, but what can one do?
I think it's odd for anyone to ask in the first place. Most people have SOMEONE they could call.
Those people can sometimes get what they are after by catching someone off guard.
So sad that you had the normal response of feeling guilty and like you had to offer some sort of valid excuse. They were putting you in an uncomfortable and dangerous position ... and YOU felt guilty!
God would not put people in ridiculous positions like that (angels). He knows what our world is like!
Ever have one of those days!
Where your fingers just refuse to cooperate? I am having one of those today! Just seems like the signals don't get from my brain to my fingers like they are supposed to. Misspelling words that are SO easy!
I am having one of those days right now...nm
ss
Yup, have too many of those days!
Thank God for spellcheckers!!!
