grow the flowers than keep the feeder clean and filled. Cause I'd have some kind of flowers anyway, LOL.

Easier said that done...
he gets a telephone call every a.m. to be called to work and that wakes me anyway. Then he's gone for 14 to 16 hours a day, so we used that 1/2 hour or so in the am to catch up with each other. Can't get back to sleep right away, so why not type and make a few $$$. You just do what you gotta do. Mamma never told me life would be easy
this should really be easier!
Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence?
Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died.
Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.
Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army; another had two sons captured.
Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War.
They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
What kind of men were they?
Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners: men of means, well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured.
Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts and died in rags.
Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward.
Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer, Walton, Gwinett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton. At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr. noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. He quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.
Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months. John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning to find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few weeks later he died from exhaustion and a broken heart. Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates.
Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild-eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more. Standing tall and straight, and unwavering, they pledged: For the support of the declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.
They gave you and me a free and independent America. The history books told you a lot of what happened in the Revolutionary War. We didn't fight just the British. We were British subjects at that time and we fought our own government!
Some of us take these liberties so much for granted, but we shouldn't. So take a few minutes while enjoying your 4th of July holiday and silently thank these patriots. It's not much to ask for the price they paid.

Sometimes easier said than done.

Good job!!! Keep it up. It will get easier
I am going on two years of "cold turkey". I wish you the best, it is worth it.
And much easier to deal with

huh? boys much easier? NOT...NM
Is it me or do the guys have it easier?!
How come a guy can waltz in and land the high-paying job without a degree, yet the woman has to have the proof of degree in hand, the multiple references (which with us are ALWAYS checked--men hardly ever), and the johnny-on-the-spot answers to such stupid-ass questions as, "If you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?" ...all for a job (whether it's this field or whatever) with crappy benefits and crappy pay and even crappier treatment when you want time to also do the most noble thing of all and be a mother.
This was in easier times...
when MTing was still a lucrative profession with good line rates and a better economy.
Dating's easier said that done
I miss dating. For me, there's a satisfaction or companionship that I get from a male partner that I don't get from work or family. Unfortunately, living where I do and working like I do, I'm not really coming across a lot of available ones. With my children's blessing, I've done internet dating, but the last couple of times have turned out very very badly. There aren't a lot of social venues where I am so I'm out of luck there. The one guy I dated told me that a single employed 'mature' woman, I was a bit of a commodity as there has been an exodus out of the rural areas, but that has not translated into my dance card being filled. Oh, well. I probably shouldn't let myself be distracted from work anyway. But, gosh, I miss a deep male voice asking me how I'm doing.
Yes but found they get stained easier
the more you bleach them, kind of like once you start it you have to do it all the time. The teeth become porous from the bleach and then just grab color/stains, especially if you drink coffee/cola. Sort of like when you bleach hair. Just what I have observed.
MT way sounds much easier and quicker.

Those are so cute and fun to decorate. Easier

yes, getting in touch with Talon might be easier. Thanks nm

My youngest is much easier than the older 2 were...
With my oldest 2, it was easy before they turned 18 - they HAD to be in by 11:00 because of junior licenses. After they turned 18, I think it was 10 on school nights and midnight on weekends unless they were spending the night somewhere. DD was the one to argue at every turn. Drove us crazy. Now my youngest DS on the other hand, is such a homebody. He got his license in October and he doesn't go further than a mile or so to hang out with his friends or his cousin. That might all change some day, so we'll see.
Because I choose not too...I am not complaining, just said it would be easier.

easier to blame you than look in the mirror!

You can, but I find iTunes to be easier.
iTunes and iPods play well together. Rhapsody works, but it will put music in a different library on your computer unless you specify that iTunes and Rhapsody are using the same. Also, anything you purchase through the iTunes Store can be transferred from your iPod to your computer. That came in handy when my hard drive died! I hear that you can do that with your non-iTunes purchases, but it sounded complicated to me. I just find iTunes is easier to deal with.
Agreed--harnesses are much easier & safer :)
When we lived in the city, we let both of our cats out on leashes but they wore harnesses, mainly so they couldn't slip loose. They did start out as kittens with them though, not as adult cats. They would hear me jingle their leashes and harnesses and come RUNNING to be tied outside to the little backyard there. They absolutely loved it and the worst that would happen is they would get tangled to each other and around a bush. I was always around to supervise though...usually enjoying morning coffee out on the back deck listening to the thumping cars and sirened-vehicles drive by. Man do I miss the city--NOT!
Good luck with your kitty! I'm sure you'll be fine!
Which are easier to raise -- boys or girls?
I was always told boys. I had 2 girls and uff-dah what a hormonal nightmare. Now I have a teenage boy and those hormones are at least as bad. Prolly worse.
This will make identity theft easier. Our DMV had the
computers stolen, and so whoever did it had access to personal information. Now they will have all the personal information they need without having to dig for it. Homeland Security and other government agencies have had computers stolen.
As far as electronic tracking, not long ago there was a push to have micro chips implanted in all school kids.
Very cool - thanks.nm

Cool that so rox!!!!!
My son is in a band, too!
That's way cool!
Yes, there are good people out there. Seems like you hear more about the bad than the good, unfortunately.
Much support to you, your son and your family!
Cool!
I had a lot of pen pals when I was in junior high. We were obligated to take German and French in 7th and 8th grade and the teachers arranged for us to get pen pals in both countries. I also ended up with one from Japan. It has been 25 years since then and I am still in contact with my pen pal from France. It is such a wonderful experience.
That is so cool!
I found my first bat upstairs in the hayloft a few years ago...oh it was so cute and so tiny! My husband had to physically hold me back from trying to pick it up. I think it was a youngin' who just came inside to sneak a nap and decided bales of hay were a most comfy place to crash.
I pretty much try to make a grab for anything like that...which is totally not normal, I know.
Spiders though...well, if I see a spider, no matter how teeny, I do that thing...what's it called..."vagal." I'm like a fainting goat when it comes to spiders for some reason. Pass right the frig out and poo myself. Not too proud of that, but there ya have it, so I can totally understand someone else's phobias for sure!
OMG!! How cool is that!!
My daughter is turning 21 July of next year and that's what I'm doing for her.
We travel about 200 miles down the road to see a pro game series usually 2 or 3 times a season, but only once this year... $$$ is low :(
We are already starting to save and plan for her 21st. She's really excited. It would be SO awesome if Carl Crawford or Rocco Baldelli yelled happy birthday to her from the outfield.
What a memory that would be!
Very cool, - sm
First as a mom who adopted her first son when he was 9, I say congratulations to you all. What a special blessing it is. Your daughter has probably already met all of your relatives, but we made a special photo album with all of the extended relatives in it and labeled each one so that he had an album of his new family. We also had a photo album of the adoption procedure with pics of all of us with the judge and pics of Anthony behind the judges desk and such. We had a great judge, who let us take our time and take as many pics as we wanted. We also planted a tree in the back yard as a reminder of adoption day, which we celebrate each year just like it was a birthday. Also we bought a special frame for the adoption certificate and it is hanging in our living room in a very prominent place. Something that we thought about after the fact and never did was to take out an adoption anouncement in the paper, just like a baby anouncement.
Just some of the ideas that we used, praying that you have a joyous and blessed life with your new sweetheart.
so cool
It was really cool. . I felt like I was witnessing a miracle - which, of course, birth is. . I doubt very many people get to see something like that - It definitely made my day!
I am such a cool mom
My DD just called from the bowling alley to ask if she and her friends could come here to watch their movie. I said, "Why yes, of course."
Now excuse me while I panic and try to clean this place up!
That is cool!!...nm
nm
Cool!
It makes such a difference doesn't it? I used to HATE my nose and used to always say if I had the money I would have a nose job. Once I had my teeth done, I can honestly say my nose does not bother me like it used to! I think a healthy smile just helps the whole face.
Cool
I didn't know about the yoga positions. I haven't ever done yoga, but it's something I'm interested in. I'm definitely going to check that out!
cool
I am so glad everything worked out for you all.
Cool!
Thank you for your reply. Do you know how to go about doing that?
Those are cool. You should
try to send them to any specific tv shows that might have characters who would wear something like that. I always figure if you can get celebrities to pick up on an item, you can make big bucks. The celebs seem to pick up on certain things for a period time and pay big $$ for them!
That is cool....sm
Sell them on ebay. Put some on there and see.
Cool
Nope, you're not out of sync. Unfortunately, with the government-run school system, you have to stay on top of things and take matters into your own hands!
Our schools (I'm in Georgia), do not start at the same time and they do not bus elementary and high school together. They do bus middle school and high school together in some instances. We do get 2 weeks for Christmas and 1 for spring break and also 1 week in Feb for a winter break and 1 in Sept for a fall break. We get out at the end of May but start back at the very beginning of August (which I don't care for!). Since we're in GA, the air conditioner thing is not an issue because every building down here has central air.
We do not have the 2-hour delay thing. That seems really silly. I think my kids would just end up staying home "sick" those days. We have teacher work days every once in a while where the kids have the whole day off of school so the teachers can plan.
Anyway, I hope this helps with your comparison!
I think it's a great idea to go the meetings and give input!
Good luck with everything!
I would play it cool
If it's meant to be, it will happen.
You're not really sure he is interested. Your gut tells you he is, and he probably is, but if he is, he will definitely make the moves.
If you act to eager... well...
And, if you do call and he was just being nice with his note, then you'll feel silly (however, I'm thinking a handwritten note is pretty personal).
There are ways to let him know you're interested. Just a look works on must guys ;-).
Also, be sure he's not hitched as well!
Seriously, be patient. Just do a lot of "thinking" about him. He'll catch those vibes too, trust me!
Good luck, sweetie.
Cool! How do you find those? sm
I've never seen any links like that...that I was aware of.
My husband always claimed since he had seen my first 2 C-sections as well as watched 1 on TV that he could've delivered our third child at home. LOL!
Way cool; you go girl! : )
x
Wow! That is sooo cool! (sm)
Congratulations! I don't have any advice - but would like some! How do you buy a forclosed house?? I may be in the divorced boat soon myself and I would love to know how to do something like that!
Have you tried a cool bath. sm
I have also heard rubbing the child down with alcohol helps. Prayers going up for your baby.
Take a little time to cool down
I understand your anger and I don't blame you at all - but be sure of your facts before you make a huge deal out of this. For example, your SIL might have been talking to your niece about the topic in general and your niece asked specifically about your husband and son, to be sure she understood what her mother was telling her.
Not defending your SIL at all, I'm just saying that your niece is only 8 years old and she could have condensed an entire conversation down to one sentence. Just be sure of the facts. If indeed your SIL did say exactly those words in exactly that way, then I would certainly agree that asking her why she is suddenly singling out your husband and son is an appropriate reaction.
I was recently told by my SIL that she would prefer that I didn't tickle her children (in the ribs, in front of the whole family - not like I was trying to hide it) because they have ONE family member who lives a THOUSAND miles away who is a pedophile. So they don't allow ANY family members to touch their children at all, except for a hug when you are leaving their house - and at that point, I felt awkward even about that and waited for her to say, "Go ahead and hug your aunt."
So I really do understand how you're feeling. I think my SIL is WAY overreacting to the situation but those are her children and I don't have any right to tell her how to raise them.
Your SIL may be just trying to make trouble. That is certainly a possibility. But it's not the only possibility.
Good luck. I hope the situation can be resolved without any hard feelings.
or hot and they are seeking cool!

They are cool dogs.
Heck, they could probably discourage bears and mountain lions, too!
Cool! Good example.
NM
yes, cool show.

You're a cool cat, Cat ;-) (nm)

I'm quite cool, thanks. Just wondering why you had

Sounds cool.
I wish I could find it in a grocery store. I don't get to the mall often, but I'll try.
very cool ! Thanks for sharing. nm
