Yes, I have two children also. I have so many worries and fears right now. But we have tried so many times to make it work. If there is anyway we could talk via email I would appreciate it so much. Being able to talk to someone who has recently been through the same thing would be really nice.

well, I certainly hope that...sm
everyone on the plane wasn't hovering around this woman while she nursed...good grief!
Mind your own business and you'd never even know the baby was being nursed...dang!
By the way, at Disneyland.. how many butts and boobs did you see hanging out of shorts and tops? Did *yo momma* report them to the security and hold them hostage while they were told to leave? Huh? Doubt it!
Hope you are doing well... sm
I totally understand how you may be feeling. I was only able to get pregnant one time and lost the baby four weeks into the pregnancy, but I was the most pregnant woman in the world during that time. How special I felt; how special my husband and I felt together with this miracle growing inside me. Then, our world was shattered by the loss of the child we dreamt of. It took me a long time to get to a place in my heart where I could talk openly about the loss and grieve for our lost child. We prayed and prayed that God would bless us again, but it didn't happen the way we expected. I did not get pregnant again. Our little girl in heaven would be age 22 now.
Then, at the age of 40, when we had all but given up on parenthood, we met a 16-year-old unwed mother at our church. She was raising her infant daughter by herself and living in a shelter. She had decided to bring this child into the world instead of taking the easier road and aborting her. God bless her for that. She and her infant daughter came to live with us for over three years, restoring the joy of having a child to our home. For that time, we were content being "Nana and Pappaw." Then, the birth mom got involved with a man who wrecked her life and caused her to have to give up her child for adoption. We did not want this to happen to her, but the Lord intervened and we were able to adopt her daughter as our own. She is now 11 years old, is a wonderful child, bright, loving, and full of life. Her birth mom left the man who caused all the trouble, and God blessed her with a wonderful husband and a son. We now have contact with her new family by telephone, and she is like a daughter to us as well. Our 11-year-old daughter is so amazing, and so much like us that it is almost frightening! God, in His infinite wisdom, will restore you, just as He restored us. Trust in Him and trust His timing. We will be praying for you as you go through this chapter in your life. We are also in the State of Georgia, and you may email me at any time, should you need to talk to someone who has been there, and reassurance that God loves you and there are a lot of people out here praying for you. May God richly bless you throughout the holidays, and may you find His peace which passes all understanding.

 Like the other MT said . . . I believe that there is a love match for every person on this planet. This could be the "one". Follow your heart. It is better to have loved and lost than to never have been loved. (Someone really great said that!) Take it slow and enjoy the ride. Have fun!
I sure hope so... but, we won't
give up on them. We are season ticket holders (nose bleed section of course), but we love it. Our daughter loves them more than our son, she has not had the opportunity to go to a game yet. But one of the guys in front of us want to trade up some tickets so he can bring his family. He has two seats and we have two seats, so maybe that will work out for next season. It is a blast! Of course, my Dad was from Southeast Philly, so I grew up on 'em. I'm looking forward to the Phillies' games, too. We do not have season tickets for them, but I wish... if only.... .
I hope you are right..sm
I really don't think that for just a traffic ticket they would spend money to send some officer to another city to make good on a warrant, but you just never know. Depends on the judge who issued the warrant I guess. Your court records may be sealed, but I do believe the patitioner and defendent names are on a court dockett, and that is made public, though. If I remember right, it is posted by the court room door, but that is the state I live in. who knows. Either way, I wish you luck...with both your ticket and your child support issue! Think positive thoughts! :8]
Hope it is JT's but, sm
you are probably right. This may be old news, but she looks preggers in realy life. She and JT married in real life and it all happened so quickly most of her castmates didn't know until afterwards.
I so hope your dog does well sm
Our neighbor had the same problem with a mixed breed with a bit of terrier mixed in. It took her a bit longer to heal, but she is now doing wonderful. Isn't is amazing how much we love our furry friends? They will love us no matter what!!!
I hope you are right. Nothing would
be too severe. This country has to take a much harder look at this for so many reasons. We would love to think that everyone respects these beautiful creatures, but sadly not the case. In my local area alone the horror stories make me ill. I am going to put a post on about puppy mills the effect it had on my friend's dog.
I certainly hope not...
But I think she's way too selfish to get married any time soon. I see them breaking up when he gets ready to get married (he's only 20), cause she's too wrapped up in herself to be a wife...or am I just wishful hoping??? 
hope
Has your daughter changed her mind yet? The Navy sent my son's friend to Behran way back when the war first started. The other poster had marhvelous good luck with her husband and her sister and their Navy experience.
I hope they can get you right in!
Dentists where I am are few and far between and it's a real problem. When I lost my childhood filling there, the tooth was too far gone to be saved. Well, it could have been saved but the cost was as much as monthly mortgate and car payment combined, so it went bye-bye. I balled my eyes out for almost 2 days because it was then that I realized I would probably wind up toofless the older I got, as I had no idea how expensive dental care was. Having your own teeth should be a luxury, ya know?
You take care of yourself and it's good to "see" ya!
hope you are still okay -
after the root canal I was great for 2 days - then pain hit again, radiating all over my jaw - still had no pain medicine - was ready to hit the streets!!! Needed more antibiotics and eventually and 2000.00 later I am okay. I did get some relief from the Anbesol stuff and ice packs on my face. Hope it's over soon.
I hope you had fun! sm
But I just can't go in those anymore. We were just at the wax museum in Las Vegas and I just couldn't make myself go in the little haunted house there. My friends said it was more funny than scary. I have beeen getting more and more scared of them over the years but I made the HUGE mistake of going into that castle at Universal Studios and I didn't know it was a haunted house and I was TERRIFIED through the whole thing. I held on to my friend's ponytail the whole way. I think that was the last one I'll ever go in.
Just one more! Hope these help someone!
Don’t think of her as gone away
Her journey’s just begun
Life holds so many facets
This earth is only one
Just think of her as resting
From the sorrows and the tears
In a place of warmth and comfort
Where there are no days and years
Think how she must be wishing
That we could know, today
Now nothing but our sadness
Can really pass away
And think of her as living
In the hearts of those she touched
For nothing loved is ever lost
And she is loved so very much

A Woman and a Fork
There was a young woman who had been diagnosed with a terminal illness and had been given three months to live. Therefore, as she was getting her things “in order”, she contacted her Pastor and had him come to her house to discuss certain aspects of her final wishes.
She told him which songs she wanted sung at the service, what scriptures she would like read, and what outfit she wanted to be buried in. Everything was in order and the Pastor was preparing to leave when the young woman suddenly remembered something very important to her.
“There’s one more thing,” she said excitedly.
“What’s that?” the Pastor’s reply.
“This is very important,” the young woman continued. “I want to be buried with a fork in my right hand.”
The Pastor stood looking at the young woman, not knowing quite what to say.
“That surprises you, doesn’t it?” the young woman asked.
“Well, to be honest, I’m puzzled by the request,” said the Pastor.
The young woman explained. “My grandmother once told me this story, and from that time on I have always tried to pass along its message to those I love and those who are in need of encouragement.
In all my years of attending socials and dinners, I always remember that when the dishes of the main course were being cleared, someone would inevitably lean over and say, ‘Keep your fork.’ It was my favorite part because I knew that something better was coming…like velvety chocolate cake or deep-dish apple pie. Something wonderful, and with substance!
So I just want people to see me there in that casket with a fork in my hand and I want them to wonder, “What’s with the fork?” Then I want you to tell them: “Keep your fork, the best is yet to come.”
The Pastor’s eyes welled up with tears of joy as he hugged the young woman and said good-bye. He knew this would be one of the last times he would see her before her death. But he also knew that the young woman had a better grasp of heaven that he did. She had a better grasp of what heaven would be like than many people twice her age, with twice as much experience and knowledge.
She KNEW that something better was coming.
At the funeral people were walking by the young woman’s casket. They saw the cloak she was wearing and the fork placed in her right hand.
Over and over, the Pastor heard the question, “What’s with the fork?” And over and over, he smiled.
During his message, the Pastor told the people of the conversation he had with the young woman shortly before she died. He also told them about the fork and about what it symbolized to her.
He told the people how he could not stop thinking about the fork and told them that they probably would not be able to stop thinking about it either. He was right. So the next time you reach down for your fork, let it remind you, ever so gently, that the best is yet to come!
(When I read this the first time, it ended here)
Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their hearts to us. Show your friends how much you care. Remember to always be there for them even when you need them more. For you never know when it may be their time to “Keep their fork”. Cherish the time you have, and the memories you share…being friends with someone is not an opportunity but a sweet responsibility.
Send this to everyone you consider a FRIEND even if it means sending back to the person who sent it to you. And keep your fork!
I hope you get it! (sm)
I'm afraid it will be pretty wet snow that doesn't stick to the ground, but at least you and your kids will get to see it falling.
OMG! Do you know her????? I hope not!! nm
:)
hope it goes well.

You better hope not
If the president is a devout Muslim, there will no alcohol served in the White House or on Air Force One, and he or she will have to pray 5 times a day. If it's a female Muslim, she'll be wearing scarves or a berka (sp?) depending on which Muslim tradition she follows.
There are just many variations among Muslims as there are among Christians.
In response to one of the posters, this country is NOT a melting pot - it is a salad bar. Lots of different items lined up in the same place, but each stays in their own spot. The melting pot was a remark made a newspaper columnist about a hundred years ago - wasn't true then, isn't now.
If we were a melting pot, we wouldn't have to press 1 to get English - we'd all be speaking it.
I hope it
never happens at all! I live in Utah!
I'm very sorry, and I hope
the vet warned you that it will take a long time for your property to be free of the parvovirus now. That means no dogs can visit your house or yard unless they are up to date on their parvo vaccines. So NO puppies since I think parvo isn't complete until 3 or 4 months of age.
You could post this on your local Craigslist. That would get the word out to a lot of people in your area about this shelter. Maybe then some action will be taken.
My hope for you is that..
you will take time for yourself, realize that you are the most important person in your life and make you number one. I don't want to argue with you...as a fellow (kind of funny word to use) woman, I want you to be the best you can be and make sure others know how great you truly are!
I sure hope not!!!
My son's girlfriend's mother is like that.....wierd!!!!
I don't think that I am.....
I will try this one. . Hope you can see it.

Oh, I HOPE so! ...
I love Kyle Chandler! Oh!! Add Early Edition to my fave list. How could I forget that one?
Hope it went okay for you. That's really not a

There's always tomorrow. May be the same, much better, or WORSE!!! LOL!

What you would replace in your house: Um. New house, but i think i would either do the whole upstairs in a bonus truss (meaning loft type space) or add a basement instead of a slab. That floor is darned cold.

Let's just hope you never need
Obviously you are perfect and would never find yourself in a compromising position. I hope you never need the KINDNESS of others to help you in any way, because you probably won't get it. You know what they say about Karma.
You are in for a huge dose of it with your attitude. No wonder you're so miserable.
Just once and hope to keep it that way - sm
2nd marriage for him though.....funny cause we were talking about it last night if he were to die soon he does not want me to remarry, at least not until our kids are 18 because of child molesters. I doubt I would remarry for a long time anyway as I have had too many ups and downs with this one though I love my DH to pieces, I think I would revel in the solitude and independence.
I sure hope not....sm
I hope your husband does not do this to your kids. Thanks for the thoughts and thanks for the prayers.
By the way, if you need a place to vent you can email me. This is definitely not the place to vent. I have learned this. I will not be posting anymore about my problems on here because I don't think anyone gives two $hit$ except for a few nice folks on here.
I hope this might help
A headache is bad enough never mind a migraine.
I've always tried to find natural ways to fix something. I know essential oils have been used throughout time. We have a mister with lavender oil and I know that when we are stressed and turn this on it it seems to help relief stress and tension. There are many websites you can go to on google. I typed in essential oils for migraines and there were lots of sites, but here are a couple of links. Sounds like it might be worth a try.

I hope you saw the end...
The shocking part was that last week's episode was all a figment of House's imagination. Disappointing.
Hope this never happens to me again - sm
I felt so ill getting on a flight from Seattle to Atlanta that I was carrying a plastic bag with me and was unable to eat breakfast. We had eaten at the Space Needle the previous day and I had not felt well since. About an hour into the flight they were passing out food and the smell of it made me feel sick to my stomach. I had been telling hubby I did not feel well, but he was still pretty surprised when I sprang across him to get out of my seat and began moving quickly up front to get to the bathroom, which was occupied! With no time to think, I made good use of their recycling bag in their kitchen area. Nearly immediately the head flight attendant came running up, then my husband, and then other passengers came running up to see if there was a problem and could they offer assistance. I felt as if I were going to faint and sat in the jumpseat and the flight attendant got everyone to sit back down. I felt fine after that and went back to my seat, but the flight attendant kept bringing airsick bags to me and asking if I was okay and I kept thinking everyone was looking at me. Never been sick on a plane in my life and I have been all over the world, but I think of this incident every time I fly now!
Hope It Works
You're welcome. Let me know if it works for you.
YW, Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
xx
I hope that works for you!
Good luck! :-)
I hope all turns out okay for you....nm

I hope Sanjaya!
But, he should have already been gone long ago. Must be a hit in the pre-teen girls with cell phones demographic. ;-)
I think Sundance will get the boot.
The best for me are Chris Sligh, and then Blake. The rest of the guys aren't worthy. The girls are leagues above them.
I hope your kitty comes out better than ever!
My husband and I spend the moolah that we don't even have on our animals, but we wouldn't have it any other way.
your welcome! hope it is still working for you. sm
it took about 2 weeks before she never asked for it again and forgot about it, but hey sometimes you gotta do what ever you gotta do. you know everyone says "let them cry to sleep". well my child would cry for over 2 hours and i couldn't take that anymore. never worked. it was miserable. i think after they get over 1 year old, they should be weaned because then they learn more about what it is and how to get it. too smart. yes, mine would hold onto my boobs like that too and it was too cute! then she got desperate and would "suck" beside the boo-boo and that is how i ended up with "hickies" on my boobs!stock up on those band-aids!!!!! if you are determined, stick to it, and you will need lots of them.
Sure hope you get relief! (nm)

I hope he is not driving because if he is -sm
it is only a matter of time before he is in an accident, hopefully only a 1 car accident. If is is driving he is not only endangering those in the car, but those on the road driving around him. Point that out if you have not already, very irresponsible and foolish of him IF that is the case. My DH is similar with docs, though he will go the eye doctor, but anything else he has to be dying, I am surprised he is not dead (Had a horrible case of pneumonia a few months before I met him, was out of work for 3 week, temps of 104/105, hallucinations, horrible sweats, etc, crawled in to see the doc at their office a few times, the only thing that saved his life was his girlfriend of the time, though why she never called 911 or took him to the ER is beyond me, he needed hospitalization, total miracle he lived). Mine acts like a big baby most of the time too. If you don't have life insurance on him, get it now while you can, then you will be okay if needed. As for SS disability, it will take a while to get that if he gets to that point, and even then he needs to see doctors and get doctor reports to have that submitted to SS so they can approved disability--but if he has a fixable problem then there is no way he will ever get it. Try to guilt him into to or else just get him in the car somehow and get him to the ER.
Hope this helps :)
I have a teenage daughter; we live in the Midwest, just outside the Twin Cities. Being fashionable can be so hard, especially on a budget. So I hope this will help... :)
As far as hair, definitely a little longer hairstyle, but not too long... yes, shaggy is in, but it has to be a groomed shaggy.
For clothing, the boys in this area in that age group are wearing anything from casual preppy with brands like Abercrombie, Hollister, and American Eagle, to skateboard punk, with brands like Volcom, etc. Also, "rock" T-shirts are in.
I support my children off my income as a QA person, so it can be hard to get those pricier brand name items. Target has a lot of nice things that are very fashionable and look like the higher end brands without the cost. Also, we have a store called Plato's Closet nearby. It is like a consignment shop, but they purchase the used clothes directly from people instead of on a pay you if it sells basis, and they are SUPER picky... they only pick the best items in great condition that are CURRENT and TRENDY. If you have something like that in your area, it is a GREAT resource... Also, TJ Maxx carries designer items at lower prices, usually they are overstocks. I buy for my daughters this way, and they get tons of compliments on their wardrobes... no one would ever know that I spent probably LESS than I would have if I bought their clothes from Walmart.
Good luck!!! Have fun with the makeover! :)
Hope you aren't someone I know. Why would you even
respond to the poster like this? Post the ways to reach this goal of yours instead of just mouthing off. What are you DOING to help the situation? Or do you just like spouting off your opinions with no substance? Bet you don't even vote let alone do anything constructive or supportive.
Hope your son returns soon
ALL of us who support the troops DON'T support the lies that put them in harm's way. Godspeed.
PDQtrans- hope you see this.
I wrote you a new note at the top of this posting as I did not know if you would read this. Let me know if you see. Thanks for the information!!!!
Hope you don't have OnStar
Or a cell phone registered in your name. Or one of those "flash" credit cards with a computer chip.
Welcome to the modern world.
Hope I can get through the memorial without (sm)
slapping Nicki across the face!! LOL
You hope but in reality nah
probably having before now and sure afterwards.
