Be very careful - two people from this area
have been murdered there. Apparently not too far off the beaten path, if at all.
I have had so many people talk
bad about the rheumatologist, but compared to where I was a year ago - mine has been a godsend. He has me taking tramadol for generalized pain and when it gets severe I take hydrocodone (I've only been in treatment since January), he says we'll keep me on this for now as long as its managing the pain and when it doesn't work then we'll change it (so far so good - pain comes and goes - the fatigue is the worst by far and like you said nothing can be done for that), I take 900 mg of Neurontin for the tingling/numbness in my legs/feet, 150 mg of Zoloft and Zanaflex for the muscle spasms. He also has me walking 30 minutes a day, stretching exercises and once my pool is opened for the summer he has given me a instruction video on some water aerobics to work on to help the muscles. I really hate that so many people have had failed attempts with the rheumatologist becaue mine has been great - (let me knock on wood that it stays this way)...thanks for the advice though in case something should change and he not be an advocate for my health in managing my pain, etc..I know where to go..
I don't why people don't talk about this...
...but we should talk about this more. so people know what to look before marrying these guys. society just focuses on the wedding day and having the cute little babies and family. I think many Christians frown on divorce so it can be hard seeking help from church.
I am sorry for the things you have gone through. It really breaks my heart. You must really have an attachment to him to stay. This one you may have to get counseling from people who can help you leave. who can help you gather evidence against him so you don't lose your kid and who can help you stay safe from him. These type men don't want to pay child or spousal support so are quite dangerous from my observation . I wouldn't try to salvage this marriage, my persoanl opinion of course.. I am really upset by your post. No one should endure this kind of treatment. You need to come up with a plan. Not just for your dignity and self-respect, but for your saftety and your child's safety, a happy momma makes a happy baby, not parents who are together but are unhappy.. . He doesn't have any respect whatsoever for your or his own kid. He obviously doesn't respect or love himself. Can't love anyone else if you don't love yourself. This reminds me of that cop who keeps marrying 20-something yo and they keep coming up dead or missing. He is now engaged to another 20-something. Coo-coo!

Contact a local realtor who buys homes. There are people in your area who will buy sm
buy your house if you are in foreclosure so that this doesn't happen to you. Look into it ASAP!
The notion that people who mean it don't talk about it is just plain wrong.
You need to do what you can to get him "committed" for at least a 48-hour hospital stay, so he can be professionally evaluated. Call the police, they have a protocol for these situations and in most states they have the authority to "commit" him if they believe he is a risk to himself or others. Suicide attempts peak this time of year...don't just blow him off or you may live to regret it. Good luck.
Competition
A child is not a "competition." Both husband and wife are the parents of this little girl. Each should strive to do what is best for the child - period. Stay out of it Grandma or you will lose. Time has a way of making things better between divorced parents.Enjoy your grandchild and ignore what Dad does unless it seriously harms your grandchild. Give it time. They will work it out. Have a Happy Easter!
Agree, too much competition, seems everybody is doing it.
x
It definitely cuts down on the competition, sm
especially among the "mean girls". I think you know who I mean. A uniform would be great. They can show off on weekends at the mall. I have no idea why the parents would be against this. They know what is going on, or at least they should.
Watched it last night. First time I have followed this competition. (sm)
I really enjoyed it. They doing this annually?
Thank you for your kindness - i did find a few things on competition sites sm
but they were all pretty boring, lol. we are going to do like you suggested and rent some of those movies this weekend to get that frame of mind going. i coached her little league cheer group and we won first place at competition so she is kinda counting on me for help, but i am brain froze on cheerleading, LOL!
why do people go door to door to talk about their religion?
arent they settitng themselves up for confrontatoin?
Did ya ever just wanna talk about nuthin' just to talk?
As I said before in another post, I miss everyone so much...
So, I have absolutely NOTHING to talk about. Love my new job, love that spring is on the way, and I love that my belly is absolutely filled up with pancakes my husband kindly made for me just now...even though it's lunchtime and not breakfast. I'm one of those freaks that could eat breakfast-type foods at every meal.
...and that reminds me that it's almost that time of year to order some baby chicks for next month. Laying hens, not for meat or anything, just eggs and entertainment. I can't wait for warm weather--it's been a long HARSH winter this year. In fact, I think we're due for another ice storm at the end of the week.
I hope everyone who stops by to read my note about nothing finds themselves and their families in good health. Miss you all, even the ones that can't stand seeing that "Hayseed" name up there.
Go try it, talk, talk and listen sm
Counselors are trained to "listen" and direct you to talk (not them). I have transcribed many, many mental health reports. They do dig deep and keep it going for a very long time, very long, usually (perhaps not for you). But if you both don't tell the truth, you are wasting your money, so why not just get it all out on the table and get it over with and get on with your lives? Don't pussy foot around, get it all out and deal with it. Gosh, life is too short to put on a show, it's not a dress rehearsal, it's life. Go forward, forgive, forget and forge ahead. Don't need a degree for that!! But a little help can't hurt. Might help.
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.
it is wonderful to see how many people have such strong opinions about people in debt.
I thought that the purpose of this board was to be able to post without being judged unfairly or have somebody tell you how wonderful their personal life is, and therefore you are causing their life to be less wonderful with your irresponsibility. Well, the saying "walk a mile in my shoes" is a good one in this case. Since you have no personal information about the person you are lambasting because they are looking for information on their debt, you can feel superior. Had you had personal information about them, you might act in a more human manner. Consider fighting cancer for 4 years, working and being debilitated while you do, suffering the effects of chemo, going into debt to maintain your home for your children and looking for a way out of debt SHOULD YOU EVEN LIVE THROUGH THIS!! Thank you for the kind comments. To the judgmental people I say please take a step back before you judge. You do not know who you are talking to and if you knew the personal information maybe your comments would be kinder.
I get frustrated by the double standard they use when judging people. They let certain people go sa
What do you think about the voting process?
Yep, we have it in our area.
Central PA, lots of Pennsylvania Dutch. My husband's family owns a butcher shop and they make and sell a lot of scrapple. I personally don't like it. And yes, I do believe it is made from scraps. I can double check if anyone REALLY wants to know. LOL!
I don't know what area you are from, but..
around here you can buy gift cards from grocery stores that give gas perks and earn points towards getting cheaper gas. A lot of them sell a wide variety of giftcards.
KC area
We live in the Kansas City area, my daughter's school had a threatening note found in the bathroom,now have metal detectors and police on campus, another county close by had all schools shut down due to bomb threat, but get this, the person suspected is not a kid, he is 47 years old. In the last 1-1/2 days, have had 4 schools in this area shut down because of bomb threats. It is getting too scary to even send your child to school, can you imagine what it is going to be like in another 10 years?
NMB area, what area are you in..?
Don't know if available in your area but...
you may want to check at your local WalMart for a NET 10 phone. In our area the NET 10 is a lot cheaper, .10 a minute compared to .25 a minute, and NET 10 and Trac are both made and serviced by the same company. May be different in your area, but worth a look? We tried the Trac phones first because we did not know about NET 10. The NET 10 phones are much better quality, they cost just a little more, and they seem to pick up in more areas, we have a lot of mountains. You can even go to the website and buy minutes, NET10.com. With the prepaid phones, it sure teaches the kids how to manage minutes, they hate to carry my phone if they run out. Costs me about $15.00 a month per phone because once the minutes are up, they have to wait until new airtime is due to get more minutes. Trac and NET 10 both do roll over unused minutes not used when you buy new airtime. Even our local dollar store carries the airtime cards, and once set up it is easy to add minutes. Just make sure you add minutes by the due date or you have to call the company and have the phone reset. That can be a pain.
area
It was at a place called Riverside park in a very populated area.
I'm in FL too but in an area where they don't do this.
I'm in Miami-Dade for 30 years and they don't paddle here in the public schools nor do they make you write 100-200 times the same sentence. Yes, the school system after elementary school is absolutely awful here, but they don't paddle. My kids went through the entire system here and came out FINE....though the entire time, even in elementary school, there were 40+ kids in every classroom....and is another reason why the system here is awful.....My kids were never late to school and got awards for attendance until getting to HS. Things changed then but they got over it and are pushing 30 and are well-rounded hard-working individuals.....Their best education was obtained in the home, I must say in this particular case. *grins*
People who go around calling other people "low class"
have their own issues in life. Ignore them. Nothing like a misplaced superiority complex to make a person feel good about themselves. Like they've never done anything gauche or made a faux pas. It must be nice for them to be so perfect and live in a glass house.
For that matter, you probably saved your piggy's life by popping that mondo zit! It could have gotten infected or something.... (yes, I have a zit popping fixation myself, but you were really descriptive on that pig zit. gag LOL)
Man, you would have appreciated the time one of my relative's popped a HUGE cyst on her face. I was standing right next to her at the time and leaned back because I knew it was going to blow. It did! Big time! All over the wall, mirror and light fixture. I'm still disgusted by the thought of it 10 years later. LOL In a revering kind of way...
In my area it is *70 and turns it off just for..
that call. If that doesn't work look in the front of your white pages telephone book and it should give you the code for your area.
Is there a dog rescue in your area?
I would call them ASAP. They will probably know exactly what is going on with her. They may have meds to treat her too.
any MTs in Shelbyville, KY area?
x
are you in Louisville, KY area?
Our soon-to-grad daughter will be relocating to that area and needs to find a home ASAP, preferably in surrounding countryside, where she can keep a horse and dogs, etc. Do you know of anything that might not be on the market yet, for example? A very good realtor? thanks.
Rural area also
I also live in a rural area and have a farm. Unfortunately a lot of people are moving to this area and since it is rural, decide that they can let their dogs "roam free" which means I have a lot of livestock killed. The owners, when notified, say that their baby could not possibly be responsible for the carnage and refuse to pay. I lost $4,000 worth of registered pregnant ewes (not counting the value of the fetal lambs) in one evening to a black lab which I shot and killed. Now I don't bother to give the owners a warning, I just shoot every dog that I find on my property unless it's something like a toy poodle.
$3.19 in Louisville area
but our gas is supposedly "increased" because of the Derby this weekend. Yesterday afternoon I saw it for $2.98 and was not able to stop and get it then. Planned to on the way home. Three to four hours later - it was $3.19!! - just like the rest.
When is school out in your area? sm
It's Friday here for the Atlanta area. One child is eager for the last day to arrive and the other doesn't want to school to end because she'll miss seeing her friends each day.
Tx, will check them out in my area. NM

We are also fortunate here in our area...
we have a small (1500 sf) home, 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, will be remodeling the bath and kitchen in the next year and adding 2 rooms upstairs. We live on 15 acres, have a 4-stall horse barn, a shop, a beautiful view, live in the country, mortgage is only 1100 a month and property taxes are less than 1000 a year. My dh only paid 185,000 for the place and it is now appraised at over 350,000. Used to live in California, so know the whole story about home prices there. We have Californians who migrate here and buy houses sometimes just by seeing a picture on the internet, never even come up to look at it in person.
Could you just put a blanket or something over that area?
?
Anyone in the Houston area? sm
I've been wanting to share this story with you guys for a while now, but just haven't. Anyways, as a mom with young boys, this breaks my heart. A local 15 year old boy was diagnosed on June 1 with a brain stem glioma. He is the son of a local pastor and their family is just precious. They are believing that their son will be healed, but he's got such a long road. He's undergoing experimental treatment in Houston (they just arrived tonight) and will be there for 3 weeks. Insurance won't cover this since it's experimental. He was such a lively young boy before all of this. Anyways, if you are in Houston I'd love to chat with you - maybe if you belong to a large church or something like that - you could help me in some way. Thanks!
Do you have ask a nurse in your area?
I don't believe this is mental illness... it could be something else. In my area, you can call the local hospital's ask a nurse for free advice, and believe me they are there not to get more business, but to give good medical advice in case you need to really see someone. Bipolar is different. SOunds like getting older mixed with stress. I know I am that age with small children and I forget my glasses are on my head! But you definitely should seek medical advice because he might have a form of dementia, not necessarily Alzheimer, but maybe something which can take medication, vitamins, or a certain type of balanced diet with stress training. Good luck!
He was here in our area last night. sm
I didn't get to go (tears). His opening act is Little Big Town my new fav. band. I am doubly jealous. Hope your have a terrrrific time!
Sorry I am not familar with your area sm
but I was wondering why you don't want her to use Accutane?
Is there an SPCA in your area?...sm
or even the Humane Society. Either one would more than likely help the poor pup out. If the "owners" don't do something and someone else reports it, they could face huge fines and charges of animal cruelty and neglect. I really think either one of those places will help w/o taking the animal from them, especially if they tell them it was a stray they took in. They often will even throw in a bag of dog food, too. I hope all works out for them. I think, also, the Humane Society offers vet care at a discounted price, maybe based on income, I'm not sure.
They said they weren't available in my area...
I don't understand that at all!
No, not in that area. But just shows that this goes on everywhere. nm
x
$3.50 a box in our area. It does vary
from place to place.
Is he local to your area?
I've never been in this situation, but if he's newly widowed, perhaps a casserole and a card would be more practical for him than a plant or flowers?
If he's not in your immediate area, maybe you could send him some type of food/snack basket.
I don't know why I keep thinking in the direction of food. I guess I assume being newly widowed and apparently elderly, he might not be in a suitable frame of mind to take care of his nutritional needs. There are so many heartbreaking stories of an elderly spouse passing, and the one left behind simply stops taking care of their own needs and pass shortly thereafter.
I'm not good at dealing with situations involving death, so maybe my suggestions totally suck and someone will have some better advice.
I hope your niece is holding up okay.
One cannot use Botox around the lip area
because it can cause the muscles around the mouth to not work right. I know because I have used Botox on my forehead and have also gone the plastic surgery route, both in facelift, breast lift, tummy tuck, and arm lifts. I do not believe in accepting aging gracefully. I hate bags under the eyes, sagging chin, drooping breasts and so on.
Do you have kijiji.com in your area? sm
I had a brindle chihuahua that was getting to be more than our family could handle. I listed him on kijiji, which is a free classified ad service, and sold him within one day. At least in my area, there are always younger and older cats and dogs, some free, some for high prices, but also many like I just sold. Just a thought.
$2.04 in the Atlanta area. It was $2.15 last week. nm
.
Think it greatly depends on the area
you live in. I was paying $25 30 years ago in Reno, Nevada; now charged $15 in small town Northern California - of course hairdressers and MTs have both lost wages in the last 10-15 years because of SuperCuts and outsourcing in my opinion. I was charged $15 my last cut and she did such a fantastic job I gave her $25 just to make up for all the bad cuts I have gotten and to let her know how much I appreciated her!
In our area, there is a program called
"Mended Hearts". I am not sure if this is nationwide, but there are volunteers that will come out who have had the surgery, and they talk about how far they've come. Another option, I guess would be cardiac rehab, and I am wondering if that would lend some support as maybe he feels a little alone in his quest? Best of luck and hope he finds his way soon.
Disney area restaurants??
I'm going to Disney World with my family next week and would love to have some opinions on restaurants close or in the parks. A friend of mine told me about some restaurant where they "throw" food at you and the servers are kinda silly, but she couldn't remember the name of the place. I have an 8 y/o daughter and this is our first trip to Disney World, so would love to make it as fun as possible. Thanks for any suggestions!
There is a funeral in our area this weekend for ...
a soldier killed in Iraq and just found out those wonderful people from Kansas are planning to attend. 
I have lived in the area for over 40 years
and I know exactly where this is and I drive the freeways all the time, including the HOV (which is a lane for more than 1 person in a vehicle to use or a motorcycle driver). The lanes are to the left-hand side of the others and the bus driver apparently took the wrong lane. Ther are 2 there that run side by side, 1 goes straight on thru Atlanta and the 1 he took is the exit lane and apparently exiting at a high rate of speed (i.e. your average speed on the freeways) he was totally unable to make the stop at the top of the freeway. There are 2 lanes there, 1 directly ahead and the 1 he took has a stop sign at the top for a turn either right or left. So unfortunate for these people and our hearts have gone out to them.
