That ought to shut them up. LOL. It is rude. I'm over 40 and often get the "do you have kids" question and I do not. If they ask why not I say *I guess I've been blessed*. LOL

You're not 'low-class', you're FUNNY, & a good writer!
Which is often the case then someone is the first to cast stones!
We seek for the truth, our own personal truth. SM
Not everyone is religious. ;)
in every joke is a little truth and the truth in
this 'joke'(?) is very sad.
Next time try a little harder.
You're right , a GOOD dad could help me (sm)
Number 1, I have no intention of allowing my son to be put on medication of any kind - ever. So that assumption is wrong.
Number 2, his dad beat me up and cheated and was never home, but he is an engineer so any court would have given him more custody if he wanted it.
Number 3, "Dad" has not called a single time since the separation to talk to the kids even though he has an open invitation to do so at any time AND has been told he can see the kids any time he choses - yet has never asked for an extra minute.
Number 4, If I had a choice between a good marriage and divorce, of course I would have chose the good marriage.
You should not assume because you know what that makes out of u and me
They're really good, but
I'd recommend using a bucket with a hole drilled in the bottom. Much cheaper and more durable than the ones you've "seen on TV." I plant my tomatoes upside down and then put herbs in the top of the buckets.
I would think 15 is good if you're giving her something else with it.
However, $90 for cut and color is inexpensive? I live in a pretty expensive area and basic color generally runs around $35 to $40 and cuts are not always $50+. I'd say she is expensive but if she is good probably worth it.
sounds like you're doing good
If you can make jam cake and cornbread, you are a Kentucky gal now! I live in Northeasten KY in a small town - though not as small as yours - I lived here my entire life and when I married, we moved to Shreveportm, Louisiana for a couple of years - so that was culture shock for me!
You're a good mommy!
He's going to feel much better with your plan I think.
You should brag. You're a good momma.
And a big congratulations to her. Job well done!
What type of nursing job is she going to get? My SIL is in labor & delivery and just loves it.
good post Misha!!! And to OP, know you're a better
My mother's floors you could eat off of back then - and we all were scared (terrified) of her.....my house is clean enough to be healthy and dirty enough to be happy...*S* .....I think Misha's post said it all and by all means, she posted it for you to utilize when you decide to confront hubby on these issues....
Best of luck.....from an equalist who, when my ex did a white glove test, I got so mad, I handed him the dust cloth and product(s) and told him, if he wasn't happy to do it himself..........'nuff said....*lol*... and him being the passive-aggressive a** that he was - I ended up divorcing him after nearly 14 years and thinking I should have been sainted for staying THAT long....never regretted one minute away from that either........been nearly 16 yrs....
it's a good start....at least they cannot reproduce if they're dead

You're worried about the mother? Doesn't sound like she did a very good job herself! nm

Just tell her the truth -
That you do not feel what she does is worth $60 at this point and feel as if she is rushing you out of the chair. She may reconsider her pricing if you have been a loyal customer. That puts the ball in her court. Be ready to find someone else.
Ain't THAT the truth! LOL nm

It's the truth because God said it? sm
But how do you know God (or Jesus) said it? Everything He's supposed to have said has been *interpreted* by mankind, then *translated* from another language, to another language, etc., and influenced by the *politics,* leaders, and culture of the day... how many thousands of years ago? There are bound to be things lost in translation, misunderstood, misinterpreted (misquoted!).
I'm just saying, it's all been subject to man's interpretation of it (and still is to this day). It can't all be taken literally (though some people do which is incomprehensible to me).
I think in many ways the bible is a beautiful piece of literature, but I also think much of it is fiction.
You can count me among those who are spiritual but not religious (esp. organized religion, whoo boy!), and this is just one reason why.
Interesting topic.
now, isn't THAT the truth.....
Truth is ...
He is being really selfish, and if he ever found a woman who liked that lifestyle, he probably wouldn't like her all that much!
I have an ex-husband who turned our yard into a junk yard and spent his free time fixing other people's things while our place went to heck.
I know how you feel! Good luck.
Nothing else taken with this- a lie or truth?
and eat pecans frequently. I thought perhaps someone from New Orleans could perhaps use some kind of (now this really sounds odd) peppers added that I would normally not use in a pie such as this. This is a new housekeeper and she comes this Friday- I am gonna hate to have her ask how was the pie..Hubby believes in telling a little white lie- I am for telling her what happened to me. She has gone into a catering business. What to do - tell little white lie or the truth?
DEFINITELY tell the truth!
My gosh if this was definitely from the pie and I was the one baking/selling them I would want to know...potential lawsuits, etc. YUCK! Can't hurt to ask her what was in it that might have effected you that way...just maybe say you are worried about a nut allergy but wanted to be sure of all of the ingredients before you got tested for it. I see your point that you were wondering about the spice or something...makes sense now...maybe it was a different type of flour in the crust, who knows...I would definitely tell her so she can evaluate what she has done different at least in that pie.
The truth would be my way
husband is a milk toast type of guy and does not like to rock the boat so to speak. I had nothing else with the pie last evening and noticed I had a funny after taste, such as a, not really burning but strange, thought undertone if that applies in this case. Last night hunting the Benadryl thought if something like peppers they use in New Orleans and I was not used to them. I eat regular pecan pie and this was no where close to what I have had all these years.
Ain't that the truth!!!
If she's that mature, she should have tried the best birth control, which is not having sex at all!!!
Probably the truth is that if they don't
come around, they have a little peace. Every encounter with their mother is going to ruffle her feathers and freak her out. You are a cold, cold woman. Hopefully they are getting some acceptance from their in-laws, if you haven't screwed them up enough to wreck their marriages too.
How about you tell the person you are talking long distance to, "I'm sorry, my daughter is calling, I have to go." Where are your priorities?
i don't know how much truth there is to this
that we will have to claim that money from the rebate on our 2008 taxes; that if it was a REFUND, that would be different. anyone know anything about this? same thing happened with our property taxes "rebate"... have to claim that.... doesn't really shock me though
It is most always better to tell the truth
Especially if they are your friends. If they really are then they will understand, but if they find out you lied to them they will eventually loose all respect for you.
This is a lesson I've been trying to teach my daughter for years.....hasn't worked yet, but she doesn't have many friends either.
I think there is some truth to this
If a young man is very close to his mother, and he looks to her as an example for what women are like, then yes it is possible they look for a girl like Mom, especially if she is a good cook. However, my daughter told my son that the June Cleaver's, from Leave it To Beaver, are about gone, and the girls from this generation are very different. My son was used to my keeping my house clean, having meals at the dinner table at night, chauffering them to their activities, staying up at night and helping with school projects, working 2 jobs to make ends meet, and being a single parent, and I raised my sons and daughters to think that a job was not a dirty word and they needed to help out too.
It is funny though that the girl that my son married is similar in appearance to me, but she does not cook, nor does she clean, but she is a good mother and manager of their finances. My son said the other day that he longs for a home-cooked meal at anytime, and wishes I lived closer, although he has gotten to be a good cook.
Ain't that the truth....
There is no such thing as a cheap horse either, especially in California--what is hay running there now, anyway? Was pricey when I left 3 years ago, so I bet it is much higher now.
Boy, isn't that the truth.
I used to think people who made a point of organic this or that and organic cleaning products were a little kooky. Not so much any more. I built a greenhouse with money I inherited from my mom last year so I can grow my own food and not pay $15 a pound for organic anything at Whole Foods.
If we truly looked at the FDA "allowables" as to what is allowed in mass produced food, I think we'd all turn a little green.
Ain't that the truth, Sylvia?!?!?!!!!
Ain't that the truth! That ought to be regulated too :)

Just from experience and just the truth
NM
When they ask, tell them the truth. There is a reason they are asking. nm

I think they are the ones posting truth about ESL &

You want the truth or a little white lie?
I ate 3 great big peppers and that is the truth. No one else here, hubs told me he does not like. I usually do not cook but decided I wanted some and got all my ingredients together and they were really, really good. Double burp....
I think there might be a nugget of truth there....
Or at least there's something reminiscent.
Not long after DH and I got married, he stood in the bedroom door and just laughed and laughed at me (but in a good way, you could hear the love). Turned out I was sitting up in bed, watching TV, reading and nibbling on a snack — just like his mother did.
(He also laughs at me and the girls when we remind him of my mother.)
maybe she is telling the truth
would you scare kids with that???? There are certain things that should not be discussed with children.
Wow - did you ever tell the truth in that post!! nm

When to tell your kids the truth ...
So, if you made mistakes in the past, do you tell your kids what you did and still tell them why they shouldn't?
I am inclined to tell my kids the truth about my past mistakes with drinking, sex, etc. I don't think I have a sordid past, but I could have made better decisions. I am not naive to think this might change the way my kids think about me, but if presented in the right context maybe I could pass my life experience on.
What do you think? Would you keep your bad decisions to yourself or let it all out?
If you find out the truth behind this, let me know
I bought a home years ago and found out after having lived there probably 20 something years someone died there and someone else murdered there, so I was told. I was not told anything at all prior to my buying. It seems like an unnecessary disclosure to a potential buyer anyway.
Thing Is, you are going to have to tell her the truth.
I know she is your mom and you really don't want to hurt her (and this will), but you are going to have to bite that bullet and be honest, and do it as soon as possible before she makes any more plans. No, this is not like her coming to your house. This is YOUR family's vacation. I am surprised she did not think of that, so you need to tell her with no beating around the bush. Then in the future, she will wait for an invitation before thinking your family wants to drag them along. It may make her think about a few other things too. This honestly is a hard thing to do but it will be healthy for your relationship in the future.
i totally agree with that. it is the truth.
right before i told my 3rd grade daughter the truth about santa she was saying "but momma, i believe, i believe..." like she was just beggin to believe. it was sad,but she knew that if she believes santa will come
how about being honest and telling him the truth..sm
imagine how he will react when (and he will) he finds out you have been lying to him. Just tell him. His reaction may be less than when he finds out about a total lie!
So your post is not about a univeral truth (SM)
So your post is not about a univeral truth, it is about your own truth. Have a nice day as well.
it's simple Truth. Not complicated at all.

hih? truth? whose? Men who wrote Bibles?
You guys are bad. It is the truth. Check BBC for yourself.

Be sure child is telling the truth and go after her sm
Be prepared though for the fight of your life, the school will stick up for her and your kid will be so labeled that you may have to take that poor kid out of there. I have been there. Some people should not be teachers, but unfortunately, they are and we all suffer for it. Respond but don't react, think hard about it first.
HAHAHA Aint that the truth!
Are we sure it's a new person!?
I know it sounds dumb, but this is the truth (sm)
I thought I missed my chance to get out when I did not turn my husband in when he attacked me 3 years ago. I thought I had to wait for another big incident. I did not think any of the things he is doing would matter to anyone. I thought he was just a jerk. I didn't think I could go and tell someone the things he is doing and actually get help. I am intelligent about a lot of things...apparently not about this. I just recently found out that these things are considered abuse. I thought only the hitting part was and I thought i had waited too long.
why is it rude to state the truth?
I've worked with people like you - they come in as a newbie and just start telling everyone what they need to change to suit the noob. Everybody was happy with the status quo, but instead of the newbie seeing how they can fit into the group, the group should immediately bend over backward and change their habits because the important person has now entered the building? Get over yourself. Seriously.
Tell ya what, I'm queen of my castle. And if I should ever decide to have a roomate, that person better like the way I live, or stay out. Thinking I'm going to change all my ways to accomodate them is just.... Maybe those guys are THAT desperate for a roomie's money, but I doubt it.
Yes, but let's tell the truth and protect the embryos too. sm
Many geneticists have developed strong reservations about the relative value of ESC research versus ASC research. Obviously, every dollar that goes for ESC research does NOT go to ASC research. Both ESC and ASC research have been going on furiously around the world ever since stem cells were discovered, but it is the ASC research that has proven to be the most promising.
Yes, continue with ESC research, but not by de-funding ASC research, and not, by any means NOT, without protections for unborn human beings.
There really is no debate here.
No, just telling the truth and I spend
my money on some bills monthly but mostly spend like I want as don’t have others I have to support. Buy things for my home, oh, I forgot I did not ask my association when I put the new granite counters in nor the marble in the bathroom, oh my, now I will have to report on myself I guess. To say one has to ask the association things you do for upkeep in your house is st**pid....
