In Reply to: Zoey pulled, great for that, Britney has been a train wreck for - Me
It offends me...children have no choice but to grow up where their parents raise them and many good decent people live in trailers. I grew up living in poor areas, part of the time in trailers. I was a good kid, good grades, tried hard to be a good person but got made fun of a lot and called "trailer trash" or "white trash". It is very unfair to group people all together in a big clump and stereotype them like that. I overcame the way I grew up, but to this day, if I decide I want to move into a trailer, I sure will.

I was actually out putting trash out when
the police car got there. The neighbors, as I said before were not home at the time. The officer asked if I was the caller and when we were talking about the problem the neighbors pulled up. I was not about to wimp out and act like it was a big surprise that the police were there. I confronted the issue and was not two-faced about it. Since I worte this morning I found out that this guy went to the neighbors and complained about me and asked if they had any problems with his dogs barking. Each and every one stood up for me 100%. What I don't understand is why he didn't apologize to me after driving me crazy for so long instead of being rude and acting like a two-year-old. The police agreed and told him so. Also, as I stated before I was not sad about the neighbor. I was sad about the dogs. Their barking was not their fault. They need supervison and the neighbor needs to know that each of us in a neighborhood needs to be mindful of others. I am glad I did what I did now.
You might be right about Him not making trash.
Seems like she has done a good enough job by herself, oh, and her mother right along there. I have said for sometime she was really sick, desperately needing help, needing the attention or else she would not be putting herself in situations such as showing her behind - you nor I have made her do these things- she does these on her own. If her face plastered everywhere, again did you or I do that? Don't think so. She has needed psychiatric help for ages. The part where she cut off her head was a very telling point, same as self abuse. Anyone who has typed psychiatric work before knows about this. Same as multilating yourself and there is another celeb out there who does this, initials LL. This make get taken off the board, I hope not because is truthful. She has been crashing for some time. I wondered when the kids were going to be taken completely out of her care. This should have been done a long time ago for their safety, only supervised visits. Well, guess someone finally saw clear on that. After this required 72 hours of hospitalization she will make the choice to leave, I am sure and it will be a shame. She loves the limelight, though. She is really pitiful.
Why watch that trash...Whoppi
is the low-fat version of Rosie...they pretty much have the same politics but Whoppi is a bit toned down, has a bit more sense and does not let most of the left-wing loons tell her what to say. The show and its hosts are vapid and a waste of time.
I agree and besides now they are mansion trash ! LOL

I love keeping out trash
like the person described above next door to her, love that have not seen 1 home here that is boarded up and reposssed, love that animals are not allowed to roam all over the place, love no cars sitting on blocks and junking up the neighborhood, love my neighbors are friendly, quiet and don’t have beer parties at all hours of the night, love the beautiful landscaping of our yards- in all just love being here in my little section of heaven.
Better rules than to live in trash city
I live to live a little better upscale life than that. It is my hubby, me and the furries and that is so good for me. No kids running thru the yard, no knock down, dragouts. Living in the country or city does not guarantee you good neighbors. Trying to sell 6+ acres of lake front (not where I live nor have I ever lived there) but in the country and those people on each side the neighbors from hades. They wanted to buy from me and I would not sell to them but that is in the country and ??? If you call making sure your kids nor animals don't roam and no beer battles, neighbors with their loud, obxious music and shaking my home a problem, not for us. We absolutely love it and by the way, the cost of these homes really keeps that rift-raft out, thank goodness! You pay for what you get.
...tape the bag closed and throw it in outside trash until

Her mother is a piece of trash. So is that biological father.

Beach/road trash pickup, help neighbors
with yard work, or help little old ladies do things around the house. Not sure what things you've tried that require them to be 14, but there's always animal shelters and teaching little kids to read. I'm not sure if you need approval, but they could help collect canned goods or toys for the Salvation Army or other charities.
All forwards I put in the trash folder immediately even if I know the person.
People get mad at me for never responding, but I get annoyed when people who call me their friends send me 50 of these a day. It reminds me of telemarketing or junk mail only sent by friends! The only thing I ever do to family or close friends, is if I see an article in the paper, or on MSN, I e mail a link to the article. I do this like twice a year that's it. I had one friend actually never speak to me again, because she would send tons of these forwards and I'd never answer. She got extremely annoyed with me. Oh, well, I recently deleted my junk folder and it feels good. LOL.

When I hear the term
single mother, I always think you have not been marriedI To me any man who says this to ANY woman, don’t care whether married, single, divorced, widowed and each of us falls into 1 of those categories, unless you really know him well and know he is kidding and you have started off paying for things, this is probably how he is looking at you, being a sugar mamma to him.
I'm with them. There is a term called metrosexual. Don't
!!!
Not the right term to use here. Amen against religion?nm

Ok, but there are NO long-term studies!!!
And I don't know about you, but my daughter is NOT going to be a guinea pig for this vaccine!!! My daughter's doc keeps asking me to allow her to have this, but since they have no idea of the adverse reactions YEARS after the vaccine, there's no way I'm going to subject her to it. I really hope 10 years from now the girls that had Gardasil don't have problems with fertility or heaven forbid, have babies with birth defects because their parents let them be guinea pigs for drug companies!
you don't know the long term problems with it, but we know what happens without it! nm

It's a term of endearment at my house
My grandmother is affectionately remembered as the California Bag Lady. She had a home (trailer in a trailer park) and a car. Both were stuffed to the windows with STUFF. STUFF that she might need some day. STUFF that she got for free. STUFF that was valuable. In reality, after she passed away, it was mostly STUFF that went to the dumpster. But she was so cute about it. I don't know exactly how to explain it, but it was who she was and I wouldn't have had any other grandmother! Yes, she had lots of bags! She was an artistic sort too, and she would draw beautiful pictures on the brown grocery store bags with chalk.
Are you considering a long-term relationship
with this gentleman? If so, you might want to give some serious thought to his money issues as they could very well become your money issues.
His joke was probably just an attempt to be funny, though rather clumsy and thoughtless. Since it bothers you, you could discuss it with him and tell him why it made you angry and base your next move on his response.
It would be his actual money issues that would be of greatest concern to me.
yeah, there's a term for revenge of this kind-it's
BC Powder Arthritis, but only in the short term. nm

What a wonderful term!!! I gotta start using that one!

I agree - they don't know the long-term ramifications
texas made it mandatory according to the governor making it mandatory (Perry is his name, if I recall correctly) - and that was just PLAIN WRONG. You don't make this kind of thing mandatory and go against the parents wishes....
20 years down the road, we will REALLY see the ramifications of forcing this drug on young teen girls....
Oh my. I think it's a...well...sweet term. I'm curious why it bothers you?

the term *eliminated* brings horrible memories
*eliminate, exterminate* when it comes to talking about humans (even if the perp here in your article acted inhumane)...
horrible memories, i.e., The Final Solution from 1939-1945....
please find another word....thank you. 
Is it legal to evict a long-term tenant - sm
who has always paid the rent on time, simply because they want to 'remodel'? I've lived here for close to 20 years, and just today out of the blue, the manager walks up and hands me an eviction notice! I was like, "Huh????" and he said they wanted to "renovate". But my unit, only. I guess others have gotten new rugs, appliances, etc. as tenants have come and go, but I've been here forever (and pay rent that is considerbly below market). I've lived here forever, don't drink, never had a party, keep it pretty clean, etc. The heater, oven, fridge, bathroom fixtures, etc., are old, but still in perfectly good working condition. So, I asked if I'd be able to come back afterward, and the manager said they were going to raise the rent (to far more than I can afford) once the renovation is complete.
So my question is -- Do you think it's legal to evict a tenant just because you want to put in a new rug, new paint, etc., and charge more to the next tenant? I'm thinking about calling a lawyer, but don't know if I have a case or not. If I move, I'm going to have to go at least 60-70 miles away, in order to find affordable rent.
   
Cell phones - How dangerous is their long-term use?
Hoax or not, the long-term safety of cell phones is still very much in question! They are not innocuous, and emit harmful electromagnetic radiation in varying amounts. Just as policemen's radar guns laid in their laps have caused testicular cancer, so the incidence of brain tumors from cell phone usage has also been on the rise.
That very thing happened to my stepdad, a brain tumor & aneurysm right above his right ear, where he holds his cordless phone constantly. Cell phone signals decrease fertility of humans & animals alike, & Swedish researchers have proven that they are ESPECIALLY damaging to the brains of children! Cell phone-using kids are FIVE times more likely to get brain cancer. I gave mine up over 5 years ago & will never use another one on a routine basis. This issue is being covered up, but is certain to become the controversy of the 21st century, just as tobacco was in the 20th century.
WIRELESS NETWORK!!!- sounds like you are getting hacked (for lack of a better term)
You need to secure your network. Check outside your home at these times for a strange car. A neighbor with a teenage boy or girl using a wifi connection to access your network getting on a porn or gaming site that bills via a VOIP dial-up It can be done.
you want to make sure they cant access you need to secure your network with passwords and such and turn your router off at night when you go to bed no wireless = no connection.
Hope this helps feel free to email if you need some more info.
short arms, short-term memory loss...
I too suffer from Short Arm Syndrome. Add to that the short-term memory loss that middle-age brings and I have now discovered I need to lasso the &*%$ reading glasses around my neck or my day will be spent wandering in circles asking the dog where my glasses are.
I have two pairs, per advice of doctor. I do not wear glasses all the time, so he thought I was not ready for bifocals. My son gave me a wonderful eyeglass case for Christmas that is big enough to hold both pairs should I ever venture out of the house amongst the living.
I did manage to find some "sporty" looking around-the-neck-eye glass holder thingies - what DO you call those things? I'd use twine before getting those multicolored beaded ones. I have a neon coral one and an emerald green one. Too bad I can't find the former, I can't remember where I put it.
