don't want to rain on your parade, but I too --sm
have been in bad relationships and the one thing that stuck out in your post was the fact that he has been married and divorced twice. Just keep in mind that he has been divorced twice for a reason, and those reasons eventually carry over into the next relationship, as well. It may take 10 years before you know all his faults. I am not saying he is not the one for you, but just use your head, as well as your heart, and keep in mind that he must not have been all that perfect if he was divorced twice. I wish you luck.

But when I went to that 'breeder's' website, I saw a LOT of red flags: lots of info. about puppies-puppies-puppies!, shipping, taking credit cards, lots of use of the word 'teacup' no mention of a health guarantee, no mention of them doing anything with their dogs other than breeding them, no mention of screening potential buyers to make sure the breed is right for you, etc. Pretty much just seems like, 'Hey we've got plenty of puppies, if you have the money, we'll ship you one, no questions asked!' Not good.
I know you might have fallen in love with him because of his picture, but anybody can put up pretty pictures on a website. If I were you, I would RUN, and find a *reputable* breeder of Yorkies instead of that one.
My suggestion to anyone is to *first* go to the AKC Parent Club for any breed they're interested in. (Just search under whatever the name of the breed plus 'of America' and you'll find it.) There, you'll get all the facts, good and bad, about the breed, and you can get a referral to a *reputable* breeder (and see their Code of Ethics), where you will *dramatically* increase your chances of getting a *healthy,* happy puppy with a sound temperament and correct physical conformation, bred by an expert on the breed.
Here is the website for the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America: http://ytca.org/mainview.htm (scroll down to the bottom).
If I were you, I'd try to find a Yorkie breeder through their Breeder Referral section, hopefully close enough that you don't have to worry about shipping. You might have to be patient and wait for their next litter though, because reputable breeders aren't breeding their dogs like crazy just so they can sell puppies and make $$$. But it will be worth the wait.
Also read the Yorkie Club's section on 'teacups' - http://www.ytca.org/faq.html#A (Calling them 'teacups' is really just a sales tactic used by non-reputable breeders. There really is no such thing as a 'teacup.')
I know you didn't ask for my advice on all this and I've been a little long-winded, but I did breed rescue for many years, and I learned a lot about dogs. I'm not an expert on Yorkies, but I do know how to spot someone who is absolutely not a reputable breeder, and I do know that the parent club is the best source of honest info. for any breed. It would save a lot of heartache if people would go there to start their research first, IMO. Best of luck (and health) to you and your future baby! ;o)
We had rain twice today, so
we are pretty happy here.
Purple Rain
cranked up so loud the pictures fall off the walls.
Scensational's China Rain n/m
I am in Virginia and this is the first rain we have had in days! nm

Rain or shine, what about an afternoon at

If you expect $60K to rain down from heaven think again
My Bible tells me that the Lord will provide (and has provided) for all of my needs, it does not say he will send money raining down for me whenever I get myself into excess debt. Rest assured that the Lord will provide the faithful with all that they need and plenty of what they want. It is your right to believe otherwise, but do not step on my Christian beliefs in the process.
Luke 12:28, "If then God so clothe the grass, which is today in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?"
No rain forest, no swimming anywhere here
I have also heard about the things you speak of. He says under the skin and it feels like a worm and he presses on it and it will stop?? I know it is not psychiatric and I would say he is probably the most laid back person, no stress that he ever displays to me so ?? I am so glad (hope that does not sound wrong) to hear someone else had similar. I will certainly pass on.
Help me find a yellow rain slicker
I kid you not. My 20 yo son has asked for a yellow rain hat and slicker for Christmas. He's always been a bit... ummm .... eccentric. He has shown me a picture, and it really looks like the Gorton's fisherman.
On the practical side, my son is majoring in meteorology, so I guess this could be useful one day and more than just a strange fashion statement.
So, does anyone know where I can find something like this for a 6' tall, 190-pound young man?
High of 46 degrees & rain today in
I live in Michigan and we just had 3 days of solid rain and $4.19/gal for gas. sm
We got the leftovers from Ike. Our gas is still $4.19 a gallon. We did not have the power outages that KY, IL, etc had, but we did have 3-4 tornadoes touch down near the MI/IN border. We have a lot of dams that are in danger of being breached and our whole side of the state is in a flash flood watch until Thursday. They figure most rivers will crest near the border by Thursday.
Pay close attention to the post above...It is righter than rain!!!

I'm 5 minutes from Ft. Benning. They graduate on Friday. It will be cold rain here sm
I, myself, and VERY disappointed that it did not snow. I've been here 10 years and have been praying for snow!!! It's only 38 now and won't get much colder than this all week - high in the mid 40s or so. Congrats to your nephew!
Are there fines this year for the flooding?
NM
Sept 6th here in NY they go back..nm
x
yes, I did back in Sept 2006.
we chose Sprint, only because they had the best rate plan for our area.
Ours go back Sept. 4 but we're homeschooling this year.. first timers (nm)
nm
Sept. 4 - though kids on the west side of Richmond started - sm
2 weeks ago. Every county is different, but most start Sept. 4 around here. --Virginia.
may be same problem as we have in winter -
extremely dry skin - daughter's BF has a pit and they were told to use a veterinary oatmeal shampoo and he is on some mega fatty acid capsule, vitamin E, but the oil on his food may be accomplishing that. Try a humidifier, keep the heat (if you are in a cold area, of course) lower.
You don't have to do winter wonderland (sm)
You can do traditional Christmas decorations if the majority celebrates it. I am sure this will not be a big suprise to him - he has seen people celebrate Christmas all his life. He doesn't expect you to stop celebrating it but he doesn't have to participate of course.
I like winter, especially since I dont have to get out

I don't hate winter, but
enough is enough! Yeah, I know it's only February. We've been spoiled here in the Northeast. The last few winters have been so warm I'd started believing in global warming. Now I'm starting to think new ice age instead!
That's our daily routine...
My BF does all of the cooking, cleaning, shopping, errand-running, etc.
Maybe I should have been the one to cook dinner last night, huh?
Hmmmmm.....
Have at it. You are limiting yourself to options daily.

Got 5" here...lots of snow this winter...nm

I pray consistently daily cuz I believe
in the power of prayer.
Yes! I'm like a dog shedding my winter coat! nm

I'm a backpacker and winter camper.
I've even had frostbite before I learned how to stay warm. I buy my socks from REI.com. (Sometimes can find the same brands cheaper at places like Campmor.com and SierraTradingPost.com)
There's a good selection, and you can read the descriptions for each. The socks I buy keep my feet warm while I hike ten miles in the snow. You might not need that level of warmth! Also, they are kind of pricey. Good luck!
winter wedding what to wear?
What does a guest wear to a winter wedding?
Eat yogurt daily, helped me....nm

robins don't always leave for the winter
any more. Depending on how good food sources are. You probably have a hawk if his tail has stripes horizontally. He may pick off a robin.
Summer here is great.. wish I was in FL in winter though :)

Winter blues in New England
I have lived here in the NE for 20+ years and am fed up with the winters. I'm single so I'm thinking of picking up and moving south (East Coast though). Can anyone point me in the right direction for a decent area? I want sun and warmth!
Take OTC Estroven daily and Benadryl 25-50 mg each night
Works like a charm for me - plus the Benadryl helps with my allergies and my migraines. I hit meno early (early 40s) and it sucks! Can't sleep, wicked hot flashes, restless leg, weight gain, yadda yadda... but since i've been on Estroven Plus (actually, Eckerd Drug's generic, called Estroplus) taking it daily for about a month, the symptoms are SOOOOO much better!!
In SoFla, our fairs are in winter. Or so-called

mixed drinks . summer or winter?

After an absolutely crummy winter/spring...
Here in the beautiful Pacific NW, I mean really cold, below normal temps, snow very late into the season...
We are expecting some 90+ degree days starting tomorrow into the weekend - and I for one am HAPPY! My poor halter tops haven't seen daylight for so long I forgot what they look like.
Been married 1-1/2 years...still 2-3 times DAILY and still very hot for us...
I dunno....started off just as intense physical attraction, moved to serious feelings, living together, marriage, and we still both want each other 2-3 times a day.
I don't know if we're just really lucky or really just freaks, lol!!!
North Dakota. :D Freeze in winter/fry in summer ;)
Well, this is our coldest period right now. But having it -30 to -60 with the windchills certainly isn't any surprise. In summer we can be in the 80s and 90s with very high humidity. LOL! We always say, if you don't like the weather... just wait a minute.
I have a my space and use it daily to monitor my daughter and her friends
Yep thats me nosy mom but I have a few moms on my friends list lol
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. 
not a quick fix, but get some progesterone cream and use it daily; will help PMS in the long run. n
.
And if you live where it freezes in winter, the filter MUST be emptied

Someone suggested trying spraying Clorox on toes daily

That's New England - cold winter, warm bread! nm

Learn how to socialize again and would have to take daily showers - yuck!! nm

Yes, true, the daily lifestyle does not differ, but the nightly does,nm

so what you're saying is that if your child lost her coat you would make her go the winter(sm)
without one simply because someone ELSE may have stolen it? Wow.
