A prayer chain has begun on the Prayer Request board. Feel free to
/
You're free to pray, but not free to discriminate
It's as simple as that.
In addition,
I have found relief with limited use of a tanning bed. Obviously, this is contraversial and has its own drawbacks and possible it may dry skin more, but my problem stems from seborrhea and UV therapy helps. I go about once a week.
New addition
Meet Boo!
Dempsey finally has a sister. She is a bit of a scaredy cat but she will come around with time.
One addition here
I know where you are going with your post. I know people think you are crazy but you aren't.
Don't people know how to make anything from scratch anymore? Geez.
In addition...
In addition to the point that all those women are somebody's mom, sister, daughter...
If the BF is involved in anything involving underage people, keep in mind that you shouldn't do anything on his computers, and it would probably also be wise to keep your finances completely separate (separate banks even, not just separate accounts).
Why?
Because in the case of anything involving children, EVERY PHOTO OR VIDEO IS ALSO EVIDENCE LEFT BEHIND FROM A CRIME SCENE! Any money he spends on the habit could be traced back to you if you share accounts.
From your most recent post, it seems like the BF doesn't know that you know. That's an interesting place in life. I never had the courage, bravery, stability, or self-esteem to not completely turn into a blubbering pathetic mess every time I stumbled on recent evidence. Mine always knew when I found stuff because I just couldn't handle it quietly. I never found any evidence of child-related stuff, though. I always told myself I could have found the courage to set the trap silently if I did. Thankfully I never needed to.
Sheila has it right and in addition...sm
You can encourage her to look at her bills and see what she can cut back on. For instance if she pays her own rent then she can do things like be sure to cut off lights, have the A/C set at 78 instead of colder, consolidate trips in the car to save on gas to help free up money for other things.
We give the kids a bonus in our household. For each month the utilities bill come in under the budget amount they get to have 1/2 the savings for entertainment. It sure helps give them an incentive to cut off lights when not in rooms, not stay in the shower until every drop of hot water is drained, etc.
With the increasing cost of gas when we leave home we try to consolidate errands as much as possible. Now instead of going say to Target for odds and ends and then Publix for groceries we go to the Super Wal-Mart where we can get everything at one stop. These little things add up and I'm finding myself now going about 2 days further between fill-ups than I used to.
In addition to the swats or the ISS, I would take away sm
something at home, i.e., TV, cell phone, Ipod, a previous engagement to do something fun. Being late is rude, lazy, and says "hey, look at me, it's all about me" so nip it in the bud right now. Kids today need to be taught to be on time, be polite, and have table manners, etc. Mine do.
In addition to considering the maturity,
I would also consider whether or not there is someone next door (maybe the bus driver you mentioned) that would be willing to "keep an eye" on him and that he could go to in case of emergencies.
I was a latchkey kid at about the age of 11 or 12; however, my older brother was 14 or 15 at the time and my grandma lived across the street from us.
My oldest son is now in fifth grade, 11 years old, and I have only been allowing him some "home alone" time in the last year. I really wasn't comfortable with doing that until he was 10, but each child is different.
I would also caution you to write down some ground rules and maybe just start out by leaving him alone for 1/2 hour here and there to see how he does. If you're not comfortable with him being home alone, you won't get much work done during that last hour of the day anyway. Good luck!
In addition to the media, I would also
contact an attorney if the school does nothing. I've seen a few movies "based on fact" where the school is legally bound to protect your child during school hours. If the school does nothing and the police do nothing, I would contact an attorney immediately.
I am keeping the journal going and in addition...sm
I bought a ceramic cross yesterday with 1 Samuel 1:27 on it which says "For This Child I prayed". I wrote the baby's nickname that my husband & I called it, the EDC and "went to heaven" dates on the front of the cross and it's hanging in our living room next to our family photo.
Congratulations on your new family addition.
Take your dog to the door every 30 to 40 minutes or so and the dog will get the idea that the outside is the place to do its thing. Could MAYBE give a treat when the dog actually goes outside and does not have an accident in the house. But, try to be careful on the treats, they will get accustomed to that really quick. Good luck.
I am so glad i do not have to keep maiden in addition
to all these past names I have had, being on my 4th marriage now. Gosh, that would be 5 names in all, wouldn’t it?
I am personal trainer in addition to an MT
so I am at the gym working out almost every day, and when I am not at the gym, I am on my home treadmill. I like to keep in shape and always have. I find that working out always puts me in a good mood (the endorphin release). I was always active in sports as a kid and have always been very tone and fit. I am also only 25 (26 in September), so my metabolism is pretty fast anyway!
I'd say IN ADDITION to getting a generator as I mentioned above.

After reading your 2 posts below in addition to this one...
You need to get OUT! In time the kids will know what is going on either way, married or divorced. If you husband has been physically aggressive with you before, who is to say he's not going to have enough of your turning him down one day and come home aggressive again?! I'm worried and I don't even know you. Listen to stories on the news about the women who trusted their husbands implicitly and then one day something snapped in him - don't let that happen to you. Besides, do you want your kids thinking his behavior is a healthy one. Consciously or not, many children model their future marriage skills after their parents. I think you should seek individual counseling and advice from a lawyer. Commonly the first visit does not cost you anything and they will tell you what type of retainer fee they need so you can be working on that. Also, when (hopefully) everything starts to get in motion, get your kids in counseling too. Early is better. Don't wait for problems or issues. A lot of kids are very good at hiding their feelings from their parents. Finally, I must say, as controlling as your husband sounds the only reason he wants you to stay around is financial. Men talk about these things, my husband had told me. You will make out just fine. He'll be the one writing the check - oh, and you can request that it go through the court so you don't have to see/talk to him about the money every month. Good luck to you. Go with your gut. Be sure to let family know what's going on too so they can keep their eyes open and help if needed.
Here's an addition to your question about layout - sm
that was unbelievable. I was at a Walmart one day to buy jeans. In the unlikely event I find the 'perfect' pair, I usually buy 2 of the same size, 'cause who knows when you'll ever find a perfect pair again, right?
So I'm in the dressing room trying them on, find the perfect pair, and go out to grab another identical pair before heading to the register. Only......
While I was in the dressing room (maybe 10 minutes, tops?), they had completely reconfigured the entire jeans section, and the whole display that had the jeans I wanted was GONE! I spent another half-hour looking for them, and never did find them, even when I asked an employee, who was of course clueless.
So, I guess Walmart is kind of like the weather in the mountains. If you don't like what you see, wait 10 minutes and it'll change!
In addition to the black oil sunflower seeds,
cardinals also love safflower seeds. Extra bonus -- squirrels will not eat safflower seeds. Cardinals also require a platform type feeder as opposed to a perch feeder.
We have had very few cardinals this year, which is quite unusual. Two winters ago I counted 19 all at once. It was after a heavy snow and it was quite a sight.
Love them birds! 
Important addition to MIL problem directly below this posting
Oh, by the way, 3 weeks ago my DH told my MIL that I was upset with her and why. She made light of it, explaining that she was just "joking" and "being funny" and of course she didn't mean anything by it.
If it were my son telling me that I had offended my DIL in some way I would call her immediately and talk it through. However, my phone has not rung yet, and I'm pretty sure it's not going to.
I can see her sitting over there coiled like a king cobra expecting me on Thanksgiving and I'm so uncomfortable just thinking about it.
My husband said that she was just joking and to suck it up (again), and just go over. I'm really stressed out about this. Any suggestions would be great.
Too many of these stories becoming familiar, in addition to inforcing the death penalty....sm
I have to ask myself why so much of society these days is behaving in this way, uncontrollable, ugly rage...is it the decay of family units, absentee fathers, is it the abundance of drugs, violence in media....I am old enough to remember a time when these atrocities seemed to be the RARE horror stories, why the abundance now? No God in their worlds?????
Could someone tell me if there is a Christianity board as well as a prayer board (sm)
or are they one in the same? I have some faith related questions, but don't want to post on the prayer board again if it is specifically for prayer requests. I do not see a Christianity board listed. Thanks so much.
Main board, gab board, company, etc, just like here,

Addendum: In addition to have warp speed internet connection; just short of having my own server.
naw - that was the old board that did that, aka the 'other' board!
why was it here and not on the Politics board anyway?
When you said when you are BOTH free
tells it all. You have gotta be kidding! If this person is married or just in some type of relationship, he is a read jerk for taking up with another and you are just as foolish to carry on with something that happened years ago. We have all been through first loves but I grew up and was contacted by my first love (15 and contacted at 31) with his trying to get me to go out with him, he had a wife, and I would not even consider. It was a nice thought that he still would want to see me but I had very much moved on. You need a reality check.
Oh, sorry. It is free, but I know (sm)
registering for sites is a pain.
This one is free.

Wow, is it really for FREE?...nm

How about free AVS?
That is the only antivirus I have on my personal computer. Does anyone know if that would that protect me?
No free visit.
It was $75 to adopt her because they can't find a spay scar. I got a $10 certificate towards a rabies vaccination and $40 toward a spay.
I finally got her to eat some catfood, I know not the best thing in the world for her but I just wanted her to eat anything at this point.
I think she might be puking too from all the hair she's chewing off herself. I don't know how she's doing that. The bottom front teeth are broken down to the gum line and her top teeth are broken at different levels and she's missing one completely.
Hopefully whatever is going on is easily treatable.
Sugar free
My husband is diabetic and my oldest son is hyperactive. We use splenda. For Kool-aid we just buy the old fasioned with no sugar and add the splenda. I actually use is everyday. It works in everything except for brownies and fudge and things like that.
We are actually making pecan pie, pumpkin pie, choco-cake and even cranberry sauce for thanksgiving with it. Give it a try we did and it is the only "sugar" in our house now.
Good Luck
try going sugar free if you can - sm
no sugar made me feel 20 years younger. sounds strange but it is true.
if you are presently on sugar, it will be hard for a few days, but really worth it. i personally cannot do a gradual weaning off sugar but need to go cold turkey. same with white foods - white bread, white flour, white crackers, white whatever. i eat protein, protein, protein when getting off sugar. fish, skinless boneless chicken, every 1/2 hour if you are hungry. after a day or two, you will not want sugar or white foods. you will be satisfied with lean protein - the less beef the better - and vegetables. and no milk or milk products. sounds strange, i know, but i would be willing to bet my next paycheck that you would feel 150% better. eat like that for awhile and then start adding back in the foods you cut out. one at a time. gradually. maybe one food every 2 weeks. and notice how you feel. your body will tell you what it does not like. yogurt was the first food i added back in and right away my nose started running, clear drainage, knew that i could not handle yogurt.
that is just what i have done and what works for me. not medical advice at all. just my experience.
Do you work for free? What vet is going to work for free?
p
Uh...this is still a free country and one can--sm
participate if they choose to, negatively or otherwise. I see plenty of other discussions where people have differing opinions about different things, negative, not liking, etc., and no one says any thing to those people...well, sometimes they do, but I thought this was a forum for everybody to participate, negatively or not, not just for those who happen to agree with what is being posted. There were plenty of people complaining about the Anna Nicole Smith threads too, and they participated, but no one told them they were angry or ill.
yep it is a free country and
that is why i can post that i thought * nn * sounded angry, deeply angry.
and it is MY OPINION that you sound very young. maybe in 10 or 20 years, you will get the gist of what is going on here.
give it a rest. i know i am.
Free Concerts
The NYS Fair has a lot of free concerts every year. A lot of older acts or acts that used to be big in the 80's. It's actuall a lot of fun. Example - Billy Ray Cyrus last year and Rick Springfield the year before.

Wow..wish we had a nit free policy. sm
I agree she DOES NOT need to be in school. This family has been educated on lice and the health department came to help them clean last year. They are just LAZY. I do not need to embrace the family and help them clean up the lice like the above poster mentioned. I am with you...nit free policy and no school if they have them!
gluten-free
This would be a great idea for my daughter, who NEEDS a gluten-free diet but is young, very busy, and has a hard time finding/fixing gluten-free foods. . Not sure if there would be a huge market for it, but it would sure be great for her.
my shipping is free - you must have
found a different web site - it varies a bit with suppliers. mine is healthysuccessonline. If mac and cheese is not palatable (NS - was totally disgusting - I had to spit it out! breakfast is powdered eggs -gag!) and you have to throw things out, it isn't very cheap.
Suggestions for free fax
I need to have a fax number for about a week. Any suggestions? I started to sign up with e-fax for the free 30 day trial but they want credit card information, etc. and I don't want to be charged automatically. I think my computer has fax capability but I don't have to time t start learning how to use it. Thx
yep - and his victims are free to sue!!!
Tax Free Holiday
I'm posting this here and in the WAHM forums, this link shows which states are having sales tax exempt shopping, when they are having it and what items are exempt. Everyone (Especially MTs) could use to save a few bucks.
http://singleparents.about.com/od/taxfreeholidays/2007_Sales_Tax_Free_Holidays.htm
I know the link says 2007 in it, but its for 2008 (as in my case NC is this weekend).
Tax free shopping
Thanks for the information. I haven't checked yet to see if NY is included, but I know we do have them every year. We usually go, we have what I think is a higher tax than most states. I know the poster below equated it to shopping the day after Thanksgiving, but I love it. I find it challenging and for me it's the start of Christmas shopping for the family.
anyone want a free Tb racehorse
They would be suitable prospects for pleasure riding and/or eventing. My daughter in KY knows of 3 horses that the owner will give away to a good home, 4 yo gelding, 4 yo filly and 8 yo gelding. E/m me for more information. Thanks!
Free Scissors
Follow the link below.
there are free websites you can
download music from -- limewire.com and frostwire.com are 2 of the ones we use. You can also buy a membership to these as well, but it's not necessary.
No, never had free childcare
I did not live in the same town as my family and had to pay and it was hard because when inhouse if child sick then you have to find someone outside there. When the youngest child got in school only went half day, so back to a babysitter again for half day after school. My son about 8 years older so had latch key kids because my job was in a hospital, not sitting at home. I thought about what would happen if my husband died because I work part time now and I thought to stay where I am would probably want to take in some renters. I have a big home with 4 bedrooms (1 is my workroom). My daughter has her own house and she does the same, right now by her doing this is paying over 1/2 her expenses each month. I have always had the "what if" so I try to at least think of a plan just in case. I made extremely good money in the past and it is hard for me to understand why women sit around waiting for work or not making enough to exist on. I know women make less but in that case I just work more to provide. I do not need a "halo" or even a St. Amy for taking responsibility for the people I brought into this world, no one else. I had no more children than I could afford. More people should think about this before having kids unafforable. Have a friend similar situation husband dying. This friend not old enough to get either social security but in 50s and had to go back to a penny-ante job after not working at one for about 40 something years. Talk about pitiful. I have always believed women should work just like men and have something to fall back on if the need arises.
free museum day
We went to free museum day and saw the red hat ladies having tea.
fat free diet
I would give them some skin and some fat or their coats will dry out. I trim the meat and give my dog what I will not eat. That is still better than dog food!
