you can give the people the facts, but the decision making process should be left to the people
This is what our country is founded on FREEDOM OF CHOICE! I'm laughing already; you are just as mortal as the rest of us, and don' even attempt to that you've never done anything in your lifetime that was unsafe or unhealthy. NOT gonna buy it.
not at all. Not sure why it would make poster
the lowest i have weighed since middle school. I've been on depo for 5 years, have hypothyroidism and a sednetary job. It's all about calories in, calories out and self control.!!!
I went down below and read all the posts regarding this poster and her way of sm
parenting. Although we have absolutely no right to tell her how to raise her children, I will say that I am concerned about this way of parenting and living in general. She reminds me A LOT of my sister in law who, mind you, is absolutely perfect. Her kids are perfect, her house is perfect, her yard is perfect, everything is so perfect in her world that it leaves absolutely NO ROOM for mistake, i.e., leaving your coat at home, forgetting your lunch, etc.
I can't stand to be around my sister in law for a nano second, much less Thanksgiving dinner. If you are not perfect and your kids are not perfect, well, behind your back she will talk about you ll day long about how difficult it must be to be you. When, in reality, everyone is thinking this about her. It literally makes my stomach turn at just the mere thought of her.
I don't know about you, but my closest friends are humble, make mistakes, are far from perfect, very forgiving (which my sister in law is not), and just giving in general.
Contrast the 2: The perfectionist who thinks she is teaching her kids responsibility by not helping then when they make a mistake, instead ruling with an iron fist so that "they will never do that again!" OR the nurturing mother who understands that children have short attention spans and can get caught up in moments and will forget their coat or their lunches once in a while and that it is our responsibility to help them and guide them along the way, teaching them love, forgiveness, and that it IS okay to make a mistake.
Honestly, I feel so sorry for my nieces and nephew because of the perfectionist spirit that my sister in law gives off. She really reminds me of Mom of 3 Children. Hey wait. Maybe they are the same person!
not any poster in this thread but yesterday I read....
Just for everyone's info......I read all over the newswires yesterday that cigarette companies from 1998 to 2005 upped the nicotine in cigarettes 11 percent!!!! OMG! That was AFTER the class-action lawsuit had been filed and settled!! What nerve of them......the cig companies
I read all the comments and I agree with the poster who wrote
'One has to teach people how to treat you' and one has to tell people what is imoportant to oneself.
It is inexcusable not to call or meet one's mother for mother's day and Christmas, etc.....
I'd give them all IAMS......make it easy on yourself
.
I don’t read the sites you give as I disagree with you
and don’t need to look any further. What you say is wait until a guy gets old enough, may not have issues and then if he does get it wacked off then and then go through much more pain than he would certainly remember as a child or even have as a child. Yeh, makes a lot of sense to me.
Well said and I guess the other poster thinks the people on the news are all racist as well! lol

Why not give him some rings to choose from and let him make the final decision?
Some guys want to say they picked it out. Makes them proud to say they did so. Ultimately, it is not really about the ring, the wedding, or any of that. It is about how you two will live your lives together. Congratulations!
I used to give money to people like you
standing on the corner, but feel a lot better helping out the fur-covered animals. You are such a loser!
Exactly, like when people say God will not give you more than you can handle?
How about asking the parents of a 4 year old with terminal cancer how they feel about that?
People amaze me sometimes.
I think it's called brainwash?
It's just so sad. I think sometimes people give their church (sm)
too much power instead of reading their Bible and seeing what they think God actually thinks. Different churches have different opinions and I don't see how a person can just allow the church to make a life decision like that for them.
People don't want to be FORCED to give charity. sm
People don't want to be TOLD that you WILL give up some of your extra for the other guy. Charity should be voluntary, and many see these programs as forced charity.
Yay! Give him a high-5 or chest bump (whatever young people do these days) for me..nm
I just read my post, if it doesn't make sense
feel free to e-mail if this is something you are interested in.
Thanks both of you! I do expect to make some people mad (sm)
Don't really care. My enough button has finally been pushed!
all that make people look stupid.

I know this will make people angry and ...
I do not know everyone's situations, but I see women on here whining and whining about stupid things. Enjoy the person you love. My husband is at war and I miss him terribly. All of these stupid little things that women deem "selfish" and such are usually nothing more than selfish women wanting things their own ways. Like I said, not every time, but come on, you have to give some, too. If you think your man sucks, there is really nothing he is going to do to make you happy, so you should probably cut him loose to find someone who can appreciate him.
some people do not read the news; they need to know...
so you just keep working and posting about mundane things and ignore the sickness in this world, or we can all come together and take out the trash.
I don't believe this but I read online people are talkin...
It's awful but I read today on some blog site (americablog I think) that her deceased son might be the father......
Blech..............I sure hope not.........but ya nevah know in this life....sick
the truth will prevail I do believe...........eventually anyway
or people who do not or cannot read the sign YIELD.
They are nuts here in NJ. I hate to drive. Thank goodness I work at home. The drivers here are CRAZY.
Well i have SEEN certain people that make evolution hard to argue!!!

I dont' say I was single to make people feel sorry for me.
I, rather, feel sorry for you because you obviously don't care about people who are truly in need, single, divorced, widowed or otherwise.
I like Paula, the media and people make up so much stuff!...nm

Oh my God. I read People.com daily. I was warned today sm
that one shouldn't read too much or watch t.v. when it comes to the VT shootings. Well, curiosity got the best of me and I read (with great regret) first accounts on 4 students who survived, played dead, jumped out windows, etc. The first student who emailed his story to People.com puts you right there with him. He played dead. Everyone in his class died except for him and this other girl and she was wounded. I have 3 sons. My heart just broke, literally, for the first time since hearing about the tragedy. I've been sad for them, but not like this. How absolutely horrifying and terrible what has happened there. I am cringing over here at what it must have been like, the loved ones left behind, and the healing that must now take place..
I will pray extra hard tonight for everyone involved. 
Right now 120 people have read your original post in this thread
So that's 120 people that do not mind versus the few that complained. Keep writing. I get a kick out the stories of your little dog. It is better than the fighting and name calling that goes on other boards. Even my kids stopped doing that in middle school.

Read the papers, duh! People are losing their homes
for getting into this stuff.
Goes to show, you aren't that smart. Money in bank getting interest only. Come on lady, what planet do you live on? You are full of it. You are depending on the two most unstable things in the world right now. Talk about planning.
Many meds for depression and mental retardation make people very SM
heavy. My friend has gained probably 75 pounds or more since being on some of the meds. Don't know quite why they contribute to weight loss, but one commercial some years ago said that it does something to the part of the brain that senses when you are full. . . . .
Did anyone else read about the murders at the Olympics already. Apparently 2 people or family of
the volleyball team players were stabbed and 1 died and the other is critical and the Chinese man then killed himself. Funny it isnt on tv but it is on the Comcast web page.
Make sure his Will is made out and pray. I've seen too many people like this in my nursing career

Obviously some people didn't read *or get* the whole post about the followup phone call ;)

Not really taken for a ride but...
So, I get this call saying that they can negotiate with my CC companies to try to get me a lower interest rate. They ask what my interest rate was currently, I told them 28%. They then asked what my balance was, then calculated the approximate amount of money they can save but I would have to pay $400 for their services. They money I would say was nearly 10,000. I was pretty desparate as I know that is a high interest rate and I am struggling to make minimum payments. I did do a BBB check, nothing negative came up. Anyway, a week later a financial advisor calls me, puts me on a conference call with my CC company. He just asked the customer service rep if they can lower my interest rate. Rep says no. He then asks to speak to the Rep's supe. Well, the supe dropped it from 28.9% to 5.7%. I was going WOW. But, I wonder what he did that I could not do. I have called my CC before and spoke to a rep about lowering my interest rate and nothing happened, I never thought to ask for a supe. Do I really need to hire somone and pay that much money? $400 is a lot and he really did not do much.
We ride motorcycles together. (nm)

You don’t have to just ride the freeways
I know, lived there and found all kind of back streets to get any and everywhere I wanted- so much easier- always listened to traffic report in the morning and made my travel accordingly. The freeways are just parking lots here, any wreck shuts them completely down for hours. Can he not go on a different route than what he travels now? I do when traveling through now.
I forgot to add that I ride the bus....every day....
My employer pays for us to ride the bus...Helping us all be "green."
Then buy a 2nd plane ticket for it to ride next to her, lol.

It's a tradition with us! Only have a 1/2-hour ride. nm

that i used to ride race horses,
that i've been a crime victim more than once, that i'm a descendant of Eric the Red and Leif Erickson...gosh, lots more!!
Mine are teenagers now so they don't ride a bus
but when they were little their bus driver was a member of our church. Her husband is also a bus driver and works for my husband part-time. I know there are lots of crazies out there, just don't lump "all" bus drivers in that catagory.
I visualized a horse, love to ride
and today I was given a beautiful paint gelding
Does he show the horses or trail ride?
We have horses. There's ALWAYS something you need or want. How about a gift certificate to his favorite tack store? Or something special he wouldn't buy himself for riding? There's a lot of catalogs that cater to horse owners that have some really cool gifts. LOL, one of the gifts my 12 yo neice has on her Christmas list is a gift certificate to Tractor Supply, yeah I know, you might be a redneck if . . . .
Personally, I would let it ride. Cost a man his job and reputation for a lifetime over this?
And unless you like to see your husband upset, I'd not say anything to him if I were you.
I learned at about the age of 20 how to give a look that made people shudder when they offended me. That is enough for me in situations like this which I consider a 2 on a scale of 1-10 in the sexual harrassment department.
Do you realize the resulting damage you will do if you take a 2 second event into discussion with white shirts?
My round trip commute is 30 miles. I ride the bus every day.....
It is free to employees of the hospital I work for.
