Great way to live. 

Best cookware I ever bought.  Very thick bottoms, cook evenly.  Lids interchangeable.  I bought a set for about $125 on HSN.  Great deal.  I love his cookware, designed by a chef, for cooks.  And they seem to stay shiny forever, no matter what I do to them.

This could not be worse of any idea.  People need to worry about their own bodies, not what other women do!  This is supposed to be the land of the free, but people are trying to turn it into the "the land of the free as long as you agree with me."  It's a medical procedure and no one else's business period!  For some women, it's a hard enough decision to make without having other people tell them how they should do it! 

If you do not believe in abortion...great, don't have one, but mind your own business and leave other people alone that need/want to have one!  Again, it's none of your business what someone else does. 

I don't have any children and don't want any.  While I always use birth control, that's not 100%, and if it failed, I certainly would get an abortion without hesitation.   I much rather have women get abortions than bring a child into the world that they don't want and mistreat or that they can't pay for and stick ME with paying for it!  There are enough leaches out there having kid after kid they can't pay for, and we tax payers are footing the bill.  Enough is enough already! 

How about all you people that but your nose into other people's business and don't want these women to have abortions pay my share of taxes too since you don't mind paying for all of these unwanted children! 

I had a friend whose father got her a diamond ring.  It was a heart made out of diamonds, from Daddy to daughter.  She treasured that.  It was her first "real" jewelry as far as something with precious stones, and it meant a lot that it was from her Dad.  If you're a Christian family, as this family was, it could also have the same meaning it had for this family, which was basically a promise from the father to be there for his daughter and a promise from the daughter to remain sexually pure.  I don't remember exactly how they did this, I know they took her out to dinner just the mom and the dad and the Sweet Sixteen-er, but she talked about it for years. 

I just remember thinking my dad would NEVER have done something so sweet.  But I digress.   

 Hey Mammamt,

I love your idea and the way you were able to express the joy of your son coming into your lives....I've been planting trees for siimlar reasons for years.  You're a loving and compassionate person.

business, and they do all right in regards to pay.  I also have a friend that just does local (rich) or what I call (rich) people with big homes, and she gets to use their vacation homes for nothing.  She does a great job and is a nice person.  Word of mouth has been her way of getting new clients. 

I am in agreement with the "in front of the computer" thing, but I need a few more years with the kids.  However, I have thought of working part-time in a local healthcare facility and doing this part-time again from home when my kids are just a tad older.  I'm almost there though.

Little league fund raiser...candy bars $1.00 ...What we did was stand inside the vestibule to the bank on Saturday morning...Ya know they're going in to get money and weren't gonna pass up 2 boys with mitts filled with candy and deny a contribuion to the home team.      

Now, if we were in an office setting we'd all be selling each other wrapping paper, candles, candy or cookies on the behalf of our daughters or sons on a regular basis, or hit up your family and friends. 

Who in their right mind would let their daughter or son walk up to a stranger's door in this day and age? 

The good ol' days of 50 cent cookies (that I sold as well door-to-door), magazine sales, and the black and white TV are long gone.

I am not sure if you can do this feasibly, but if you have been communicating with this person, the police can track his computer ID number and find out where he is.  If you have any kind of conversation in an email, IM, or even through the site, they can track his computer.

Another suggestion may be to report this to craiglist, as this is where you found him and they will have info on him to give to the authorities. 

I hope this helps you. 

had any issues with the fact that she was being deployed.  There was nothing mentioned in the social history about caregiver issues, psychosocial stressors, etc.  So, I'm not saying she wanted to stay and was denied.  I guess I was just questioning what the maternity policy is in the service dept.  I guess I just thought when you had a baby in the military, you were given the option of being discharged or being stationed in the USA.  Since your hubs is in the Air Force (bless him by the way), could you tell me what the maternity policy is for female officers?  Are they only allotted 6 or 12 weeks (for a healthy newborn delivery)?  Can they request to be stationed in the USA for a period of time after that?

I have kids, and I just can't imagine being separated from them at such a young age.  Of course, any age would be difficult, but an infant is so dependent on her mom.  Wow - what an eye opener and definitely some food for thought today.
