Same thing here in my part of Virginia
the flu, strep, bronchitis, and just the plain old cold. There was even talk of shutting down schools from a Friday through Monday just to give this a chance to die down. That didn't happen but we did get a rather large snow that seemed to freeze the virus. That did help, but warmed up again and seemed to start all over again.
Anyone with a printer deskjet know why it prints a page with part of it dark and part of it light.
It is not printing uniformly.
It's not the dancing part, it's the people part that I don't like. K? We clear now?

In Virginia ....
I was looking at Charlottesville, as well as more northern like Front Royal, Manassas, just not to close in to DC.
Virginia
I am a Virginian from day one and will never leave Virginia, at least if I have anything to say about it. However, I just learned recently that whenever you are buying a home here, your real estate rep will always be representing the seller. This was told to me by a real estate agent who had once lived in New York and moved here. Not only is the seller's real estate agent representing the seller, but the agent that the buyer has enlisted, will also be representing the seller. I know this sounds convoluted, but it is the way that it was explained to me. After I heard this, a lot of what went down regarding our purchase of a home, with regards to our real estate agent, started to make more sense. She recommended that, next time, we totally bypass using a real estate agent when purchasing a home, or to make sure we have a clear understanding with the agent that he/she is representing US.
I live in Virginia
and have often been to MB. We didn't start going until out children were toddlers and actucally were pretty good travelers (7 1/2 to 8 hours for us). Could you convince your hubby to go to a beach closer to Ohio and maybe be able to cut down on the travel time?
Old Virginia is another good one to try
They're soy candles. They're available at Cracker Barrell restaurants and online. Some local gift shops carry them too. I think QVC carries them. The scent lasts through the whole candle. They burn cleaner than Yankee Candles and aren't as expensive. I've also bought them on ebay before. I still like Yankee Candles, but these are nice too.
I'm headin' to Virginia in the next . . ..
1-2 years. I have lived and traveled all over and have been in Georgia for almost 20 years. I hate this backwards state!! I am originally from Virginia and that's where I want to live out the rest of my life. It is the best, and truly God's country.
My heart is in Virginia...
where the grass actually is greener. There's no other green like it. But, I had to get directions to my home place a while back, that's how much it's changed. I still want to go back, though.
39 and snowing in Virginia Beach
Absolutely beautiful watching the snow fall and then melt as soon as it hits the ground!
I am in Virginia and this is the first rain we have had in days! nm
!
Deep south, Virginia, nah I never
thought of that as the deep south. We think of it as the northern most of southern states.
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus....sm
Santa Claus as we know him today has changed through the times, but his good will toward children has not changed.
This is a great link to tell you of that history!
Who's Virginia? No message inside

Horrible tragedy at Virginia Tech
In Blacksburg, VA. Someone went on a shooting rampage and he and at least 20 others are confirmed dead. My son is in high school but was there today on a field trip. He and his class were walking on campus when a professor took them to a safe room in the basement of a building. My son used his cell (wasn't supposed to have it with him but thank goodness he did) to call my hubby, and he came home from work to tell me. I of course went all to pieces but am a little better now. Just can't imagine what the parents of the other students are going through. They are now allowed to leave as soon as the can find the bus and bus driver. He was sent to another part of the campus. Just needed to talk about this a little. Thanks for listening.
I totally agree with you. I live in Virginia
and don't care that he played ball here. What he did is appalling and he should definitely do jail time, but I also think what L.Lohan has done is appalling and she could have killed someone and only gets 1 day and some community service. Doesn't make since.
Midlothian, Virginia - would pack and move back now
if I could!
Not West Virginia....Wisconsin...they look close when you use the initals.
WI.....WV....very close
Odenton Maryland/Virginia Beach Va info needed.
Hey everyone. Hope you are all doing well.
We are scheduled for a vacation here in the next few weeks (business trip for hubby that we are turning into a vacation), and are going to be in the Odenton, Maryland area and then the Virginia Beach area. If anyone is familiar with those areas, here is what I am curious about.
- In Odenton - book stores, yarn shops, fabric shops, flea markets, etc. Obviously I have to do something to keep myself busy while he works for a couple of days, lol.
- In VA beach, a nice spot to picnic on the beach/near the beach that also has nearby access to a decent public restroom. I know, sounds strange, but I have a health condition....anyhow.
Thanks in advance for info and advice.

Written by Francis Church in 1897 in response to 8 yo Virginia's question if Santa was real. You
VIRGINIA, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except [what] they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men's or children's, are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measure by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.
Yes, VIRGINIA, there is a Santa Claus. He exists certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! How dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no VIRGINIAS. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.
Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.
You tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest man that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, VIRGINIA, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding. No Santa Claus! Thank GOD! He lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.
I keep it in the office part time and on the patio part time
I've got the self-cleaning electric litter box (and boy is it worth the $100), and have a huge throw rug under it with a smaller rug by the litter pan that has a bumpy mat on top of it to catch the excess. I keep it in the office from April to October but on the patio from October to March as it is too hot in FL to leave the patio door open for them during the summer months. I also put out a spare box when we go out of town for the weekend.
Try a box that has deeper sides maybe, or not as much litter in it?
No part here either.
I cut color and style my own so I do it all different ways, but everytime I have ever had it done at a beauty shop they always parted it on the left. If I wear mine with apart it is on the right. They told me I do it backwards! I think they did it because I have a huge scar on the front right of my forehead and they try to cover it up. It is recommended to rotate it or do it zig zag so you won't have a trained part.
the part I wonder about:
what if that company goes out of business and you have a warranty?
I was part of the
When bad things happen, everybody goes "frugal," but a few things we have kept doing:
Frozen sandwhiches and frozen cupcakes. They thaw in time to be eaten, don't need refrigeration and can hold their own in a back pack!
maybe that was part of the problem...sm
I am not a huge fan of IE7 either, but I do not have any problems with it either, but this is just a thought...you are supposed to *remove* IE6 from your system entirely *before* putting IE7 on. Sam mfg or not, they have too many conflicts when on your system at the same time. My son is 'puter expert and he did mine and I specifically remember him taking IE6 off first. When you said your computer reverted to IE6 *automatically* then I knew what happened. It would not just revert *automatically* if you had taken it off in the first place. No wonder so many people are having problems with this!!! But I do have to admit that the downloading instructions are not clear on that point either...guess they just figure everyone is supposed to *know* this. You don't put two browzers over one another. good luck to you.
and you had better read that part again..sm
and obviously you always have to have the last word which again shows your ego. I asked you politely to drop it, but you just could not leave it alone. NOW it is the end of the debate, for the third and final time!
That's the part that would scare me (sm)
My daughter is grown, thank goodness. I don't have to deal with this decision. If I did have a daughter school age, I would be more concerned with the consequences years down the road from this vaccination. It is just too new, in my opinion, and Gov. Perry is trying to shove it down our throats. I would strongly object.
I don't think it's random, it might be part of the flu!
At least the same thing happened to my niece 2 weeks ago as she was coming down with the flu. She was in the bathroom, apparently just stood up and fell at the sink. My sister was blow drying her hair and didn't hear her go down, and just found her unconscious!
That part did not need to be stated at all--sm
as it surely led some to think that it was because he was Korean that he did this. He spent most of his school years in America, so he would not have had that particular culture that you brought up, in his head. He was a troubled young man and I surely don't think it was because he was Korean. JMO
What part of the south are you in?
Where I live, deep south, women certainly go that. Do not put an overall blanket on each statement, especially about the south because we already have to live down what others think of the south.
By the way, that's the plan..just have to get through this part first (nm)
f
Usually it would go on the painted part, but
type so that you can place it however you want. Have fun at the dinner party. 
It is not "Innocent" on her part!!!
"She also tells him that several men, married men, have been out there coming to call. She turned them all down because all she wants to do is raise her kids and ride horses." Did you hear yourself? She wants him to think she does not consider him in the same category as "the others." He is "different". Honestly, he sounds like a nice guy, loyal (so far), works hard, likes the kind of living that she does (horses, etc.) Just stay away from her and her land. Find some other land to lease. Go to the games with dh yourself. She is out to get a man and thinks YOUR MAN is THE ONE. They pick "nice ones" all the time because they think they can manipulate them. Of course, you could always let her know that you know what she is up to, but if you do she will probably whine to your dh and he will feel sorry for her for being "misjudged." If you stop it now, you won't have to deal with the mess that probably will come later! Good luck and I'm thinking about you.
Sorry about that "work on them" part - should have been
X
Do you part your hair?? (sm)
I don't part mine or my kids - I brush it and it has sort of a natural part, but I never do the old comb-parting thing. Just wondering if I am the odd one out? Hey - it says GAB board :-)
We all seem to have a natural part here. But I keep my
s
That works during the day for the most part, but...
at night I give him a set amount before I go to bed. If he eats it all, I get woken up at 4 in the morning! He'll pull on the blinds, knock over my lamp, and if I shut the door he starts digging at the carpet (and I'm renting!). I tried making him exercise more, but he usually just stares while I play with the toy!
I don't know about the supplying part
I think it is probably very easy to come by in LA, but investigated, definitely. She has 2 younger children. I realize that even parents that care about their children and try to raise them right still have problems, but this woman is as well known for her partying as for the fact that she is LL's mom.
I agree with the gym part
Ten years ago I was 60 pounds overweight at 28 years old. I was very depressed and taking an antidepressant. I lost about 40 pounds by changing my eating habits, then my stepfather got me going to his gym on a two-week free trial period. I LOVED it! I got addicted to working out, lots the last 20 pounds, had more energy throughout the day, and yes, I did feel better about myself with more confidence and was able to throw out the Paxil. I can say I'm definitely happier being thinner because I have more confidence and am not afraid to ask for things I want, where before I would rather sit in a corner and not have attention brought to me.
I liked the part where the guy had to run in front - sm
of his truck and put a rock under the tire to try to stop it, and it kept rolling over the rock. I had a truck like that once.....
I tell you what they do in this part of the country
I never liked stuffing - but here they make stuffing and make it like little balls (like a good handful) and bake it on a cookie sheet.
I do get the part about the fights sometimes
guess it just doesn't get that out of hand in our house, and I guess in your mind it is not out of hand so I glad that works for you. I just have a hard time imagining my SIL and niece acting the way she describes. We do joke that they have been fighting since she was born and will fight till death. We joke that my SIL will be 95 and in a nursing home and when her DD comes to visit it will be like "Good God Lauren, is that the only dress you could find to wear? LOL
part-time job
When my now adult daughter was a senior in high school, she was president of two clubs, ran indoor and outdoor track and cross country, went to almost all basketball and football games, had senior trip, numerous other trips . . just seemed like it was money for something all the time. . She got a job - it did interfere with track practice but the coach let her slide on it and practice on her own. . . She worked every summer starting when she was 15. . Went to in-state college .. applied for every scholarship available and most of her 1st year was paid for. . During her sophomore year she worked 40 hours/week at Macy's and went to college full-time.. cut back her hours at Macy's junior and senior year but worked full-time in the summer. . With the cost of everything now... lots of parents just can't pay for everything.. and if you try, you are really hurting your kids because they need to learn that most people don't get a free ride. .
the lying is only part of it
Obviously there is more going on than just the fact that he is lying.. Why is he lying - what is he doing with the money?
I did not see the part you are talking about
and I don't have rewind here but she could really hurt herself with trying the high kicks at 68.
Second part of answer
He can take depreciation, but not truck payments. Don't ask me why. Some day I'll find out when I have time to play around with the IRS site.
Actually, that is only part of the equation.
Food prices world wide have risen because of energy costs, climate/weather conditions, and increased demand in developing nations. Commodities are also a swiftly growing investment vehicle, which can also result in price increases. Global unrest is just beginning. The rioting will become even more widespread. The overthrow in Haiti is probably just the first of many. It is going to get worse before it gets better.
Yes he is a good man - not 100% but for the most part
Just felt I need to do another post to let you know a little more info. Our days consist of talking over current events, watching movies and laughing. We joke around a lot (maybe 30-40% of our day). We talk of things that interest us, what we want, where we want to be. Things we have done over our years together. Our days are probably pretty typical of anyone's life.
Maybe I shouldn't have even wrote anything in the first place. Sure we have our differences of opinions. Sure what he did was pretty crappy - actually way beyond crappy. No he is not trying to keep me from my family. I think what he is most afraid of is something will happen to the plane and I will be gone. He is not like me (independent). He depends on me for a lot. We do have our differences of opinions as I'm sure other couples do. I'm not making excuses for him, but no, I'm not going to take 25 years and just divorce him. Yes I do have a problem with confrontation (it literally makes me ill and I end up sick to my stomach). In my younger years I had no problems with telling someone exactly what I wanted to, but as I get older I find it not worth the headache and getting sick. I just cannot stand it so avoid it at all cost. Of course there have been times where I have gotten so totally p.o.'d at him that I stand with my fists clenched screeming GD it and so forth because just felt like my head would blow. That has happened 4 times in 25 years that I can remember and all 4 times he realized I was serious. We do argue, he listens and most of the time turns around the situation to benefit him (at least that is how I perceive it), but this is not every day of our lives. I would say we have "differences in opinions" maybe once every 3 or 4 months. So maybe I mistated myself in my original post, maybe my PMS was setting in. Maybe I'm overreacting and have absolutely nothing to worry about.
On a different note, my DH does tell me often that I am a very intelligent person, I am strong, I know what I want and that keeps him grounded. He tells me to keep him in line if I feel he's getting way out there. I understand the struggles he is facing in his life (used to be in some pretty high positions (military officer, manager positions, etc), however we do not live in an area or time where any of that is of interest to him. He is struggling with the "what do I want to be when I grow up", but I often hear a lot of people going through the same things. I listen to him, sympathize with him and then I tell him what I think. He listens. Of course it may not "stick" but he listens and a few days later he will tell me "you know you were right". That's why I wonder if he is going through a mid-life crisis at times. He has never ever once been violent or shown any tendencies towards violence. He hates violence and when he hears about it on TV he gets so angry and tells me what he thinks should happen to guys who are violent towards their spouses, children, animals or whatever. He's never raised a hand (I'd beat him to a pulp first). He has never even gotten so upset that he hits an object or kicks a box or anything. In fact, if anyone has a temper out of us it's me (inhereted that little bad puppy from my mom), but I've never done anything more than clench my fists and yell at the top of my lungs (which i'm sure my christian aunt who lived across the road from us got an ear full when I was yelling at the top of my lungs G*d F*ng D*mn it. HA HA Anyway...we do have things at times we should work out. I will read more self help books but no I won't go to a counseler (no money for it) and no I'm not going to divorce him. Yes sometimes I do feel like I'm living in hell, but for the most part I have a good life. At times I feel like maybe I'm the one going through a midlife crisis (no kids, belong to no groups, have no friends here - just me and the PC). DH says I should get back involved in a quilt guild here so am looking around the area (we just moved here a year ago).
Thanks for all the input I've received. I have freinds back east who are just like all of you... "you tell him this or you demand that or you threaten that you will leave him". I'm like...yeah, right, all I need is another argument.
Anyway...thanks all, just felt I had to post again to let you know a little more about what I'm going through. Like I say, maybe I shouldn't have posted anything. Just felt a bit down at that time. I can keep you posted as to what happens. Will be telling him later she's coming out.
I only saw the last part of this movie
Maybe that's why I couldn't remember. Thanks
I would email him, as this seems to be part of (sm)
his modus operandi stating: "I cannot afford to go out with you anymore, so, it is OVER! OH...I forgot the "You're a liar and a cheapskate!!!!
I am dead serious. Get out of that....whatever kind of ????ship you call it.
I get the low energy part too... sm
I use several things ...ginsana helps and I also use Emergen-C packets that you mix with water are helpful. Those things help with that part, but not 100% cure. I feel like half the month I am taking something to help me stay awake during the day, something to help me sleep at night, and something to calm me down during PMS. I never imagined perimenopause would include all of these symptoms! I am going to do some research and see if I can find any answers!
