It is totally ridiculous, my niece just went to hers
and got her dress and all the accessories at David's Bridal, it was more like 500.00 or so. That's not including the extra cash she needed to go out afterwards to *Friday's*. They are 14 years old! AND then they expect these Sweet 16 parties? LOL Well, if the parents do it, they're to blame. I don't really know if it's actually for the kid or just to *keep up with the Joneses* or to try to impress or what it is but it is getting out of hand now. We had none of that stuff growing up. I think our parents were smarter than that and didn't put themselves in DEEP DEBT with credit cards etc. So at least we'll be getting inheritances. These kids will be crying down the road that their parents spent theirs! Oh well ;) LOL
Totally ridiculous, now everyone should stop buying it.......
don't ya think? But they won't. Never believed in it anyway. The real SECRET is those people are getting mega-rich!
I don't know, this post down below has me thinking. What are your thoughts, woman to woman. sm
If your spouse came to you and said he was having an affair, would you be more upset if it was with a male or female? For me, definitely a female! If it were male then I would think that it had absolutely nothing to do with me and everything to do with him. I would be devastated if he were with another woman. Another poster below said she would be more upset if he were found with a male. What about you?
Amen Sister! She is totally unrealistic! Totally. Loved your post! sm
My grandparents (from VT), will tell you that my grandfather began farming at 6-7 under the supervision of his 10 year old brother. haha No major incidents - his mother tended the home and ran a nursery and she did have the siblings watch over each other. I didn't even think about all of this until you mentioned the farming post. I loved it!
I, for one, need plenty of sleep - so I must work during the day while they are here...Oops, I gottah go! My 2 year old just fell off the kitchen table.
just kidding
Totally agree with Pretty Woman.

Sorry misread your post - as for a woman - sm
doing something like this, I am sure they could but not the norm for a woman, though I know many women shake babies, so that I do not find hard to believe. I remember getting frustrated when my kids were babies (19 months apart), going outside to just scream, did that a couple times, once I tried to break one of those toy baby doll strollers, as I was having a bad day and had to vent and I would never hurt my kids, the thing just would not break, but at least I got to vent my anger and frustration in a somewhat healthy fashion. I think in all I had 3 meltdowns, 2 screaming ones, and one the beat the crap out of the stroller (which didn't break). Any woman who says they never had those feeling is either an unemotional droid or a saint.
What a lovely wonderful woman you are...not the OP but touched by your post.

I hate to even post this but here in my own town is a black woman with the name
Shithead. I am not kidding you. It is pronounced (Sha-theed). I am not making this up and I am embarrassed to even write that. It sounds like a pretty name, but spelled horribly.
I can totally relate to this post.
When I take the kids to the pool in the summer (at home full-time), I feel guilty that I'm not at home typing. It is totally ridiculous. I really do like my work and at 37, I am making an effort to try and get out with friends once in a while. We just moved to a new town and I've met some other Moms, so I've been doing some breakfast meets. We haven't found a church yet, but I think that's my next step to finding some social moments for myself. The kids keep me busy, but they are in school all day. 
I totally mis read your post. sorry
You are right. I was preaching to the converted.
Totally disagree with your post.
People can and do change, especially over a time span of 17 years. Your are being very narrow minded.
I would venture to say there is much power in forgiveness if he admitted the truth and showed remorse. Life isn't easy and it certainly isn't black or white.
I agree totally this this post, though I have never been married,
and you should not have to disrupt their lives anymore than necessary by finding a new place to live, etc. Though from the sound of it, you dont like where you live and he does, but I would stay put like this poster suggests.
I totally agree. Not to minimize your post, but there are far worse
To keep at it would be overkill.
woman to woman talk sm
This has nothing to do with being a christian, it has more to do with group dynamics. I have to deal with it all the time with 6 women in an in-law situation. They are narrow-minded Bible-thumping bigots.I happen to be of another "denomination" and I do attend every function of theirs, weddings, funerals, all of it, receive their communion. I have had my parents die, lost my younger sister and many things happen where they could have reciprocated, yet they will not "step foot" in my church. So where is all their faith, they certainly are not practicing the do unto others. I can relate, it is a horrible way to live. Thank God, I had psychology courses and know about group dynamics, I am in the middle of a herd mentality. I could go on forever, they even have "interventions" when someone in their family wants to marry or date someone not from their denomination. They are awful. I know your pain! It's not your imagination, they hide behind their cohesive "numbers game," one speaks and all the others agree in unison. No one has a chance against this mob. It's tough to be your own person, lots of tears. And guys think it's all in our heads - NOT! Hang in, perhaps you'll have a Divine Intervention somehow.
Kangaroo. cat woman or wonder woman?

No, I'm sorry. That is beyond ridiculous to have
your children living with someone you hate and hates you so that they can be near a football coach? And then to have to ask advice for how to handle it that you each hate each other? This is her KID, for Lord's sake! She has him living with someone who hates her over a coach? Sorry, but situations like this are only contributing to the delinquency of this world. That is just plain shameful, and I will NOT apologize for thinking so.
Think it is ridiculous for all of this
graduation for small children, pomp and circumstance, proms next or are they doing those already at this age also? Why not make an overall speech to the individual class about how much all appreciated instead of handing out "rewards." That is why the kids getting out of control, it starts really early, don’t want to leave anyone out and it just escalates from there on.
This is ridiculous!
I knew the gas prices were going up, up,up but I have just checked a hotel/airplane package from my city to Las Vegas for 4 days and on Delta today it was $4,545.81! Yes, I am in the US. I do not know whether to book today or wait until these prices go down!! Anyone else want to join me for that price??
This is ridiculous

This couple is looking for $50,000 to not abort their child...talk about a scam.
Well I think it's ridiculous!
Come on now, they've been together for what, 24 hours, and he's madly in love...engaged! Please... just last week he was popping pills and booze, mourning his poor dead wife. Now he's all snuggled up to Donna, who by the way, looks just freaky to me...I think it's really just d*u*m*b...oh, but it is a soap, right?
ridiculous
I don't know what is wrong with today's kids. I don't know if they are not being taught right from wrong at home or what it is, but it is getting to the point that I don't even want my kids going to school and being exposed to these kinds of people! By no means am I a teacher, and I do understand that one day they will have to go to school, but there is no call for this. And on the "sex offender", it doesn't seem to me that he was a legal adult, and an age gap of 3 years is not all that much. I heard on the radio here about how a teenager in high school was slapped with sex offender because he smacked a girl's butt at school. THAT ticked me off. They made the sex offender registry for a reason, not for little high school kids and their parents to abuse.
Seems ridiculous to me
That anyone would think that way. If someone has a stable relationship then "dancing" should have no impact on it. It's a harmless show for goodness sake that takes a lot of hard work. I do know that, I think it was the year before last, (I don't watch religiously)Kristy Swanson and her partner ended up together and he was married at the time, but their relationship must not have not been very stable if this show broke them up. As another poster mentioned actors and actresses do it all the time in their jobs.
Well, I am sorry that you think it's ridiculous for me to think this way.
Stable relationship or not, there is no man on earth who could resist (Jesus was even tempted!) a woman when dancing close to her like that. Stability has nothing to do with it. It's wrong no matter how you look at it. I'd like to see you give your hubby up to one of those dancers to practice with them 6 nights a week 10 hour days for 3 months straight. Would you do it, LinK?
It seems ridiculous because it is - sm
You are not ready to divorce. This issue has not been worked through yet. You have too much unfinished business with your marriage. You have got to get back to a marriage counselor. If hubby will not go, go alone. It may be you decide things will not work out, but I urge you to turn explore every avenue before throwing in the towel. Then if you do leave him, you will know you did all you could and not need to look back. Best of luck.
Really??? That is ridiculous sm
Bleeding the beast? What happens to these people's logic?
Ridiculous.........
I suppose the news needs some garbage to throw out there to get attention. This is not a man, but a woman, with the body parts to have a child. Just no breasts. So what now, does a woman with a mastectomy suddenly become a man? Pleeeeezzze!!!! I do feel for that child. How in the world do you explain all this? Then again, if the child grows up among it all, probably won't think twice about it.....this will be the norm for that child.
I thought I would be sick watching Oprah oooh and aaah over this person, A MAN GIVING BIRTH........what a joke!
That's ridiculous, isn't it? There should be
continue to hire new workers when existing workers aren't able to get enough work to live on.
actually I don't think everyone else is ridiculous
I used to believe the same things myself.
As far as having an innate knowing, I believe deep down we all feel we have a hole inside if you will. I know when I was searching and seeking I felt that. Yet when I found Jesus, it was like he filled that hole.
I believe that it requires faith to believe. That is why we don't have an innate knowledge.
I believe that if someone doesn't have Jesus they cannot comprehend all that the Bible has to say. That is why we need the Holy Ghost, to interpret for us. I read the Bible at least three times cover to cover before I accepted Christ. I could have been reading a different language for all I understood. After accepting him though, I started to understand, and parts of Scripture stood out like neon lights when I needed them.
I used to believe that everyone could get to heaven any ol' way they wanted, just as long as they were good people. Now I know that isn't true. If we could get to heaven by good works, why did God have to send his Son to die?
I have studies on this a lot. Like I've said before, I was practically dragged kicking and screaming to Christ :) I did not want to accept what I knew as the truth. Why? Because doing so meant giving up my own selfish wants and needs. Giving up my own fleshly desires. No more going out and living crazy and doing what I wanted. But you know what? I owe Him that. He died for me. And you. And that is regardless of whether you believe Him or not. That's the amazing thing. He died knowing that even 2000 years later people would be practically spitting on Him. (Not saying that you personally are, but there are a lot of people who do)
Anyways check out that site, and if you are truly searching, I urge you to really check out that book by Josh McDowell. Ravi Zacharias is also an amazing apologist that really opened my eyes and helped me to understand a lot. He has a website with some essays and he also has a bunch of books (you can find them at Lifeway and I'm sure other bookstores).
If you ever want to talk, please email me. I know what it's like to be searching and to not know what you believe. I ran from God for so long, but when I finally came to Him I didn't understand why I had run for so long. No, life will not be a piece of cake if you become a Christian. More likely, you will endure hardship and trials and tribulations. But this life here is a blink of an eye compared to the eternity we spend with Him after.
Just imagine the things that could be done in this world if everyone allowed God to work through them and to bring forth the talents that he has given them. It would just be amazing!
Times are going to get hard soon, and people are going to have to make a choice. I know my Lord will be here when it is all said and done. I pray that you will be there with us!
That's ridiculous
What do they expect, for you to call every 5 minutes just in case they come up with something else? "This is me calling to see if you have made any plans in the last 5 minutes." Totally stupid.
I would have to wonder if they wanted me there.
this is ridiculous
This is absolutely the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Mean old people live A LOT LONGER THAN YOU THINK and news flash THIS IS NOT THEIR LAST CHRISTMAS, IT NEVER IS...
That's Ridiculous
Please ignore this person who obviously hates their life very much. 99.99% of us support you and think you did a good thing.
Some people just have no life and this is the only way they can get any attention. They say negative attention is better than no attention, so this person obviously needs lots of attention.
You know the rest of us support you. Ignore these types of posts.
Now, that's ridiculous.....
how does cutting off the outer ear to do with preventing ear infections? The absence of an outer ear enhances the possibility to get an ear infection.
I would rather assume that uncircumcised men miss out.
I think it's ridiculous
to label her as a sex offender. There has to be a better way to handle the situation.
I think that's ridiculous (sm)
Anyone applying for unemployment has obviously worked and contributed the funds available. It's all based on prior earnings and you have to meet certain guidelines to collect on it anyway.
Where the heck does drug testing enter into this equation? Just another way to avoid paying out monies that are due to the people who are entitled to them. One more method of ripping away yet another right from the American worker.
Sorry, I don't care if John Doe tests positive for weed, opiates, benzies, or WHATEVER his DOC may be, that is completely irrelevant to his entitlement to unemployment that he worked and paid into.
What a bloody pathetic excuse to spend a huge amount of taxpayers' money to avoid paying people what they have earned and are entitled to.
It's ridiculous.
When I was in college, I had an English professor actually give an assignment over the weekend that was to get high and write about it. Absolute nonsense! We wonder why our country is in the mess it is in when college professors condone illegal behavior.
This is ridiculous
~ The loser always takes refuge in insults. ~ Really? Unless I missed something, you're just as guilty of tossing around the insults as anyone else on this thread, maybe even more so.
Yes ridiculous
Going to court simply wastes your time and money - the parent, however immature and mean they might be, gets to call the shots re any and all visitations.
Totally, totally agree.
You feel inadequate and no matter what you do - you feel like it is not enough - and that is depression. Get on some medication, or get some therapy and start taking time for yourself and enjoy life. Been there and done that myself - STOP FEELING GUILTY - you deserve better!!
Ridiculous. I can't believe the nerve of
Would make me want to take it to the School Board, but I understand about whether or not it is worth the trouble . . . don't know what they would be able to do, but she should at least, at the very least, be reprimanded. Perhaps moving her into the middle school or high school would be punishment enough. LOL!
Hope you guys have a Merry Christmas despite her spoiling Santa.
WHAT? Ridiculous statement.....sm
I so don't agree with you - Had one, got rid of him, don't want another - I want men in my life, not in my house full-time! No regrets here, happy, independent, do for myself and my kids and my friends and family without a *DH* to drain on me any longer! Happy Happy!
THAT IS ONE RIDICULOUS STATMENT
yet again ANOTHER RIDICULOUS STATEMENT
It is not a ridiculous statement....
Statistics say roughly 5% of rapes result in pregnancy...that is about 1 in 20. So, the statement that very few rapes result in pregnancy is true. Look it up.
What a ridiculous statement that is.
Very helpful.
Unreal you are ridiculous (sm)
I mean, really. Calling the mom a sicko - the kid is 6 years old. Some people are so uptight. Give the world a break and lighten up.
how ridiculous! I said living
thing with a SOUL. Humans have souls. Oh i love my animals dearly, but they are not people, and i understand the difference. No, it cannot be twisted 1000 different ways, not accurately anyway. Human babies are innocents in God's eyes. But i doubt if you are a believer, thus the difference in understanding.
That is completely ridiculous.
I'm 30 and my mom (and family) still celebrates my birthday and we do hers. I live out of state now so if I can't be there for the day she will celebrate whenever she sees me and send me flowers or a cookie bouquet or something. My MIL does the same, even if my hubs does something on his own.
Personally, I would invite her regardless because despite her opinion she is still family. If she says anything about it again I think your hubs should discuss it with her further and let her know that she doesn't have to come.
Regardless of her ridiculous behavior,
she sang horribly & was annoying to watch perform. No great loss...
it's ridiculous. they should start sm
taking away from the politicians salaries and all the "pork" and leave the folks drawing SS benefits alone! Its a disgrace!
I think it's a ridiculous show. Where do they dig up these people anyway?
p
Considering all the ridiculous responses to this vent..sm
I guess the devil is doing his work...causing conflict! Hope you have a great Christmas, Wannie!
