Spin the bottle with 2nd graders, sure

In Reply to: just my 3 cents - Spin The Bottle is okay for you... - with 2nd graders, 7/8 year olds?? s/m
not. I was reading this last night and that was the first thing that came to mind when I read about Valentine's party and told my hubby I was going to post a spin the bottle. That should get some thought. He and I both had a laugh. Of course, not, you silly bunny....

just my 3 cents - Spin The Bottle is okay for you...
very curious............
You can try to spin it, but you just sound very
So because she was in the public eye she shouldn't have had sex, and because you weren't it's okay? That makes no sense. Parents can use her situation as an opening to talk about how teen pregnancy can happen to anyone and how careful they need to be if they do decide to have sex (not to mention STDs, obviously). People are so up in arms because she's supposed to be a role model, but she's still human, and she is still a teenager with out of control hormones. Plus, her mom was letting her shack up with the guy, which wasn't smart, obviously.
I find it astounding that you are judging her decision to keep an unplanned baby when you terminated one of your own babies. I would think you would be empathetic with her if anything, for you have both been in the position of being pregnant unexpectedly and having to make a very difficult decision. It just seems odd to me. I will say it again - being in your 20s or 30s does not mean you will be a good parent. Sadly, there are horrible parents all over the world of all ages.
Neutral - but dispute their spin on it
Its been a time-honored symbol for a long time to mark graves with a simple cross. What's next, all cemetaries will have to be redone because the beautiful religious art offends some fool attending a funeral?
I do question WHY people feel the need to decorate someone's death site, though. That's what graves are for, IMHO. I guess it does serve as a good warning that spot might be dangerous, but its a bit depressing if you drive by it every day.
I live in an area near a civil war battlefield, which is a federal park now. There are memorials everywhere. The art on some is awesome. I'm confused as to why states from both sides of the civil war have erected monuments there, but hey, whatever makes people happy. Again, its a question of why decorate a death site, but the feds seem to be all for it in the name of history. I'd sure hate to see any of these monuments removed because somebody saw something religious on them and got offended.
Third graders little deceivers?
My daughter is in 3rd grade and still believes in Santa but I sometimes wonder if she's in on the gig but just thinks she will get more presents if she keeps her mouth shut, maybe kids aren't the ones being duped but we parents are, there's a thought, haha.
School decided to make a new class/2/3rd graders
I get a message on my phone this weekend from principal saying my daughter was selected to be put in a 2/3 grade class. She is in 2nd grade. I think personally something else is up. Why such a great class being formed in January??? and why call on the weekend? She's not that upset about it, but we just moved to the area and this starts this morning. So now she had to meet new friends and now new friends again. Not sure how I should handle this. I'm upset, but at same time, might not be a bad thing. I do want to let them know I'm not pleased though.
Valentine Party games for sixth graders . . .
Does anyone have appropriate valentine games for sixth graders?? This is a tough age to impress; any help would be greately appreciated!!!
We had our sixth graders do a sack race and we also had a game ..sm
where they were divided into teams and they had to put on gloves (nice thick winter ones) and open up a Hershey's kiss. They had a lot of fun with both games, but they had a ball trying to open that candy!
But with spray bottle you have to be with dog 24/7.

Agree with below, don't bottle it up sm
I tend to do this also and ended up with shingles at the age of 14 and again at age 34 last year due to stress. Meeting new people as suggested by others is a great idea. If you want, trying visiting a local church. This is one of the things that helped me the most since I started going again. The socialization alone has been almost as good for me as the messages.
After a while, just shaking the spray bottle sm
worked with my cats. My MIL had to lock her cat in the laundry room at night (huge room, bigger than some bedrooms! LOL) because she kept biting my FIL's tubing to his oxygen tank in the middle of the night. After my FIL passed away, the cat started biting the tubing on my MIL's air mattress. At that point she gave up and gave the cat to a friend.
Hope you have better luck with yours! If you give them plenty of "safe" scratching alternatives, and spread catnip liberally on them, it should at least cut down on their clawing the couch. Be sure the scratching surfaces are sturdy, though - those two-foot cylindrical scratching posts are worthless. Here is one that might work better:
WATER spray bottle!
They hate it. Combine it with a fairly loud NO. They CAN be trained. Nail tips are probably humane alternative to the declawing thing.
How about putting your hot water bottle/bag in SM
the microwave to just get the chill off ot it before you apply it. The house was frigid cold and I wanted to warm up. Kept it in for a little two long and the whole microwave and kitchen smelled of burned rubber for I don't know how long! TOP THAT, why doncha! 
You can put Listerine in a spray bottle
and spray around the door frame. This will keep mosquitoes away, and hopefully that will mean fewer frogs and lizards for you.
spray bottle with water.
for you
That water bottle you mentioned...
Don't give up on it too soon - and also try not to leave kittie alone in the rooms where she does the most damage. If you have to go out and leave her home alone, can you confine her to the bedroom while you're gone?
Two of our cats are really persistent about investigating the kitchen counters, and we keep a water bottle handy all the time, but they're slowly starting to realize that we mean it when we say, DOWN!
Also, we added a little vinegar to the water.
But like I said, it takes time and consistency with the water bottle method.
Good luck!
You have very good taste! My fav too, but left a $65 bottle in a

Yes, I keep a bottle of water at on my night stand. sm
But I also have to get up anyway to pee every 2 hours so I'm not sure why I bother cause I could just get a drink when I get up anyway.
Not using the entire bottle of something and just opening full ones! SM
I have quite a collection of shampoo bottles with about 3/4 inch in the bottom!! Makes me mad at myself!
What about buying a bottle of 'Liquid Paper 2-in1" -sm
(which is a cool little combination wide brush or pinpoint correction fluid applicator, depending on which cap you take off), then paint the letters back on the keyboard? Then, once the Liquid Paper has dried, paint over it with clear nail polish to protect it from getting worn off.
(Or, like the poster below, if you REALLY want to confuse people, you could always paint the wrong letters on the wrong keys!)
;D
Being able to buy and enjoy a nice bottle of wine.

Hand him a bottle of sleeping pills and say

Now that I've reached the bottom of the bottle but...
thanks for the info. I love this product and so did my mom. The funeral director asked what my mom used on her skin as it was in such good shape and she was a beach goer. Oh well, back to Vaseline! Any other brand name this goes by? I have used the CVS brand also thinking it is Olay with a private label of CVS.
