Cut 'em off.....!!!
We have the same situation here. My husband's stepfather totally cut us off after his biological mother passed away! I still get blamed, of course the wife!!! I was left out of the obituary on purpose! It stinks, and I've gotten past it now, but the stepsister calls with "oh we miss you". This is a bunch of crap! After 3 years, I bet all she misses is the gossip and causing trouble! Cut 'em off! Cut 'em off! Let your children know that sometimes their Daddy is yelling because he feels hurt, and that is his way of "dealing". Sounds like you have a grip anyway on dealing with both your husband and children and that you have a wonderful family right in your own home! The only other option is to "hash it out", but leave the children out of it! Hope this helps.... I don't know if it will or not, but your situation really brought out some "hurt feelings" for me personally... Take care and God Bless. Hope it all works out...
Yes! Geaux get 'em!
Water 'em! (sm)
Hose them down outside, put them in the shower, or leave them out in the rain.
Only other option get rid of 'em. Which would cat

Tell 'em siser...
So when they get tired of being fluffy, they come here, rouse things up, and then go back and report that this board is childish, but of course that's the pot calling the kettle black now isn't??????
I actually would rather be here as there are a lot of different topics and you don't get bashed by the moderator because you feel a certain way! Go moderators!! Keep up the good work here on Stars... Sometimes ya' just want to vent and not have SS up your tailend with e-mails that make absolutely no sense!!!!
The funny part is instead of them calling themselves miserable, they come over, copy paste and then make a thread out of a borrowed post from here... 
Well, I enjoyed 'em
Doubt I'd have the guts to buy most of them, even if I could afford it. They are fun and certainly a conversation piece - if I had a business with a lobby, I'd go for at least one just to be memorable.
maybe husband just likes 'em
however, not my cuppa tea....
Nah. Just let 'em prop on my belly. LOL
Nah...I just tuck 'em into my socks...
Where? I wanna go pick 'em myself.
Ponchatoula?
Give 'em a shower! sm
I spray mine with 409, let it sit for about 10 minutes and then shower it off. Or, I stick them out in a down pour and they get nice and clean.
We hate 'em all. - LOL - Luv Phyllis

Tell 'em you're going to SELL them to the
niece and restaurant -- are those right? can't get 'em
just hate that. i've added those to my Expander so they correct themselves... i know there's more ...
If you can't control 'em at home, no way will it be
Most of us would like to see a movie or go out to dinner in peace, without having other people's little indiscretions trying to eat off of our plates. Keep 'em off airplanes, too, for that matter.
Gotta give 'em credit though, ya' know...
Not many people would take that plunge!
HEY, Y'ALL VOTED FOR 'EM. don't whine now! nm

It doesn't stop 'em from coming around, but
kill 'em and clean 'em at the same time -- using a spray bottle with a good spray and some type of cleaner (even watered down) in it, stun them with the spray first, then totally blast them with the spray . . . wipe with paper towel.
Now they unfortunately call 'em designer dogs...
but they're really just muts. They are all lhasa-poo's. It all began when we lived in a townhouse in the city of Lowell, MA. I really wanted a dog but they (the condo association) had a weight restriction of 40 pounds. So, we were out for a Sunday drive one day and happened upon this lady walking the cutest little dog. She told us where she got it and we drove right to the kennel that day. They had one puppy left (our Winston) and we snatched him up right on the spot.
He's getting mighty old and to help the hurt of his eventual passing not be as bad, I had the bright idea to get his replacement another lhasa-poo( a couple of years ago (Patton). Well, the young whipper snapper was constantly pestering poor old Winston, so I said, "Hey, we need to get him a playmate." Enter the third little guy, "Sherman." Also a lhasa-poo. So there ya have it.
The oldster is still with us...blind, toothless, and kinda stinky, but it's one big happy family of little portable dogs and I don't think I'll ever get a big dog just because I like the little lap dogs. They are totally gay though---little puffs of yappiness.
Gave 'em a shower - look brand new - thanks!! (nm)

That's why Hayseed's neighbor shoots 'em
He probably had his house skunked, and never wants to go through it again.
There are sprays that you can use, bit I just swish 'em in soapy water

my Home Depot has 'em. no message inside.

Both of our kids wear the Focus Dailies disposables. They like 'em. nm

They may still bloom in the sun, but the most intense color will come in the shade. Love 'em! nm

C'mon ladies-God wouldn't have given you maracas if he didn't want you to shake 'em! sm

I love it.
Give 'em a swish in the sink. If concerned about color running, try with 1 stem or leaf first. Or

We have several stores here where they
have all the ingredients cooked/cut up and you just assemble them yourself or you can have them do it for you for a fee.
I think they are too pricey to do on a regular basis, but evidently they are popular as I know of at least 3 stores.
I have read about a chef coming into people's homes and basically doing the same thing. They usually prepare a meal to be eaten fresh that night and then freeze the rest. I'm sure there is a market for it, the young singles starting out in the corporate world with long hours, the wealthy who would otherwise probably eat out every night, etc. I think it would take a while to build up a customer base so that you could actually make a profit, but maybe you could work for a caterer too to help out with the busy times of year. Maybe you could get tied in with a caterer and offer such things through the client base the cateter already has.
At certain stores in MI, s/m
They will double coupons up to $1. I do this a lot with toothpaste and stockpile it. A lot of times it is 2/$4 or 2/$5, so I either get it free or for 50 cents a tube. A lot of the $1 coupons are for new items and our local store here is pretty good about having those on sale a lot during the first few weeks it is out to promote it, so I get the new things relatively cheap as well. You just have to be careful about not getting things "just because you have a coupon."
When I coupon shop, it can take me 3 hours because I compare all the prices with brands to coupons, etc. You also have to really know your prices as compared to other stores. I have one store where I get my meat and I don't like to buy much else there because everything else is expensive. Where they double the $1 coupon, I don't buy anything there that I don't have a coupon and on sale for as their other prices are jacked. I'm really careful about it and belong to an internet sites to help me as well.
I think they use... you can buy it in stores and onlinhe.

Where in the Bible does it say what stores--sm
can and cannot sell?? Point out that *scripture* to me..please! The Bible also says *love one another as you love yourself*.
Stores closing..
The stores did not close for Chanukah...my son had to work 6 out of the 8 nights of Chanukah. I would have loved to have him at own each evening for prayers, but he was there after and we still got to enjoy the Holy Days together. Compromise people, compromise! Life is too short for such frustrations.
and some of us have stores readily available ...n/m
Smoking outside stores
I don't like people smoking outside stores either. They stand right by the door so you have to hold your breath and go through the smoke cloud. Unlike the other things mentioned, that does invade my personal space with secondhand smoke exposure.
Problems with pet stores.......sm
My niece bought a St. Charles Cavalier spaniel from a pet store in Houston, TX when she was visiting her in-laws and flew it back home with her. It had a little drippy nose at the time and the pet store reassured them she had just a little cold and said she had been vet checked. Well, by the time she got it home 2 days later, that baby was nearly dead......long story short, they spent a fortune keeping that baby alive....she had one problem after the next. They don't have children yet and she loves this dog like a child, and 4 years later, she is a healthy dog but now and then, has joint problems, had fluid build up in her eyes, and other stuff. She hates it when someone says you should have took her back. She loves the little dog, and I just tell her if you hadn't gotten her, she probably wouldn't be alive, God wanted you to have her because she needed love.
Then she went out and bought a Springer Spaniel, thinking her little girl needed a pal around while she was at work, and he has been a pill and a half ever since. Stubborn streak a mile long!!!!
It is 4 stores around Atlanta, don’t think
national. Let me settle up there first and then I will update. Let me say this, and this gives me hope, the court person the other day said a big chain owed $10,000 and when the truck pulled up in front of their store to load,the checkbook came out so I would like the money back - if not I take more furniture than I bought in the first place. I bought dinette but if I have to remove plan on 4 complete dinettes with 2 sofs and 2 chairs. Already have my wish list just in case!
You can get it from Amazon if not in stores (nm)

I don't blame the stores at all
Its a vicious circle for everyone, and everyone is loosing money. The stores because people won't buy what they used to and the consumer because they have to pay so much more for what they do get!!!
Why do stores, like Wal-Mart,
always redesign their layout just when I finally learn where things are?
Why are the seats of the carts at Wal-Mart so little? My 3-year-old barely fits in.
Why is it when I go to buy something on sale or "as advertised", the store never has it in stock?
stores that are going out of business
I got my teenage son all new bedding. Down comforter, designer sheets, etc. There are some good sales at these stores shutting down.
And yes, he wanted an Ipod, but he sleeps all the time anyway, so have a nice bed I think!
most stores have this, even walmart

At clothing stores
Most stores don't carry very large sizes, so you end up wearing what you have got, or having to special order.
Not to digress, but I thought stores never

And, I'm not talking about WHO the stores sell to, I'm
And, no I don't buy from businesses that knowingly sell homosexual material of any type!
You are so right. I never saw such junk as I looked at in these stores. Well I will be a lot more
careful what I buy and who made it. This was all made overseas. Just junk and not cheap.
well just this year they opened 15 stores in...nm
And that is why I don't shop at those store, but there are many stores that I do
items. I'm not holding any anger from this end, I am just going to continue to stick to my convictions.
consignment stores and outlets
I've been shopping those for years....I get sticker shock at the malls...prices are outrageous. In recent memory the most I've paid for a designer suit that included skirt, pants and jacket....houndstooth print in a petite size (which are hard to find) with the original tags still on it from a major dept store was $25. I did break down and spend $7 on a cashmere turtleneck though.  It's real fun to get a bargain and still have money left over to go grocery shopping.
Goodwill Stores & Halloween - sm
Wow.... I just got back from a trip to the local Goodwill Store, and boy, am I ever ready for Halloween! Beginning in October they bring out all their costumes, and costume-worthy, bizarre clothing. Usually I don't get there 'til it's all picked over, but THIS TIME I went early. Sometimes I get stuff just for the material, or the trimmings, and other times I'll see a piece and do some "reverse engineering" on it to turn it into something else. But I don't need to do that this year - everything I found is good to go!
I LOVE Halloween... it's always been my favorite holiday! Can't wait..!
