You didn't say if it was noise, trash in yard, wild kids, or what.

Can you be more specific about
your vision? "Not too bad uncorrected" isn't your typical LASIK candidate. If you don't go to one of the best LASIK surgeons, you might not get optimal results. I went to one of the two best-trained and most experienced LASIK surgeons in my city, and my results were great. But it cost over $4000. There was a lot of testing to qualify. Your lens has to be thick enough that there is room to slice some off, and they will check more things about your eyes than you've ever heard of, things that are very specific to LASIK candidates. Since I have astimagmatism, I opted for a more refined procedure - Wavefront or something. My vision is 20/20 and I'm glad I did it, but it was a very freaky procedure that was so unsettling I was up all night, despite the so-called Valium they gave me. My vision was worse than 20/400. I think another way to say it was 3.75? Or was it 2.75? I can't remember. But I couldn't make out the top E on the eye chart.

Wow. I hate to tell you this but I know of 2 specific cases sm
just like yours where the girls ended up dead. Not enough love in the world could have saved them. Yes, their moms are devastated. It is a tragic, tragic thing. Here's what you need to know. Once you've done all that you could possibly do for this young woman, you need to take a step back and let the "eaglet fall out of its nest." She's homeless? Oh well - she can get a job. She totatled her car (which, by the way, is the way one of the girls died I told you about - was on meth and then crashed). You can't get her another weapon (in this case, another car).
These are just some of the things you can't do for her. What you can do for her is to pray, to get others to pray, to show her unconditional love but that unconditional love is not getting, buying, being manipulated. Do not, let me say this again, do not blame yourself for her mistakes. There are many, many responsible 19 year olds who didn't even have parents growing up. You can survive this. Do you attend a good, spirit-filled church? If not, you need one. You need to focus on something bigger than youself (God). You need to find a passion and a purpose for your life, both of which comes from a relationship with God.
In my own life I've suffered the loss of a son, a marriage, deaths of family members, betrayal of the worst kind, financial distaster, hatred, you name it, I've been through it. For most of this I didn't know God. Then later in life I found God. Thankfully. He's given me a peace in my situation about certain family members that can only come from Him. When I surround myself with other living Christians I find there is a reason to live - not to mention my other 2 kids and new husband.
You absolutely cannot live your life worried, stressed, blaming yourself for her problems. You just can't. Because if you do then that's 2 people suffering. Be strong. Walk away. Just walk away. One step at a time. Walk away.
This is not a specific section of the country
Born in the south, raised and living in the south and always told and taught how to send thank you notes, tried to teach my children, 1 does and 1 does not but they are grown now. I went to wedding in California, no thank you note per se but tacky printed generic note which I wish now I had not taken the time to shop for a gift I thought very nice. Happens everywhere....
You have to have 150 hours with specific courses
I know. My sister just sat for it.
If he wants IPOD, it is brand specific. sm
find out which one he wants and get him that one. They are the best, and especially if he wants an IPOD.
I can use bill pay to pay to a specific account #
at any bank. Its free, too.
I know you said that earlier; you however did not give specific instructions on how to use it. sm
I was just trying to be helpful -- not take the wind out of your sails!
I think its a great idea and should not be gender specific
I think more and more kids should have one. Usually when they start out they have nothing. I don't have kids, but if I did I would start one at an earlier age and just add each year with practical things. I'd also use a chest that can act as a coffee table or piece of furniture for them. I'd include the basic necessities they will need, pots, pans, silverware, coffee cups, etc. Maybe a quilt/blankets, and one gift my DHs grandmother gave me was some recipes of my DH's favorite meals he likes. If you stick it in the hopechest when he gets married or goes to live with someone they wouldn't be offended as though you are telling them they don't know how to cook or something silly like that. I'd keep all the good toys they liked when they were growing up and maybe some photos. Just kind of mix it up a bit. I wish I had one when I was growing up. DH and I started from scratch and it was hard.
The categories are as specific as terms like "violence" allow - sm
Admittedly, there could be some disagreement about "marginal" situations. Is a raised fist "violence"? Some would say yes, some no. Away from these margins, though, there wouldn't likely be much disagreement as to which category a movie belongs in.
And since all movies are fantasy (fiction), whether they contain this sort of thing or not, the question being addressed here is what sort of fantasy is doing better at the box office?
Allergies? Anything specific blooming this time of year? Anemia?

I wish I wasn't right actually.....my mom was....sm
We/they all referred to my mother as *Mommie Dearest* - she was Joan Crawford's CLONE and her mom (my maternal grandmother) was Bette Davis' CLONE. Too much pressure put on little kids to be totally organized by the age of 10.....IT'S IMPOSSIBLE and not fair to the children - because this results in stifling your children's CREATIVE ABILITIES.
Happy for you that you are facing all that you are facing to not repeat (negative) history!! Have a GREAT, GREAT weekend!!!
I wasn't trying to jab you. Something's not
you claim to have ruined credit, working 3 jobs to pay bills.
Something isn't what you're making it out to be.
In my experience, people with bad credit earned it and usually have no interest in owning up to it.
you know i saw those but I wasn't sure about them
I thought they were a knock off of Yankees...but now I will definitely give them a try!
No, I wasn't--
The post about "stole my son, you brazen hussy" brings back memories. My mother-in-law actually kicked me following the rehearsal dinner and said, "Well, you finally got him!" I checked later and my stocking was torn and there was blood on my ankle. She had made this seem like a joke, but she meant it; I knew there was a friend's daughter she had wanted to introduce her son to after he left the military--I spoiled those plans. Left my home (small town) to live in his hometown (Atlanta) and never felt accepted by his mother or any of his friends, who treated me like a backwoods hick.
It's no wonder we divorced about 10 years later. My daughter is lucky that her in-laws were so accepting of her.
Wasn't in the least bit mean.
It was a simple question. You don't sound like you REALLY want any of them and I personally don't think that splitting siblings up like that is a good idea. If there is a home out there for all of them together, I hope they get it.
Never said he wasn't a pig...
he is one too. Water seeks its own level...jealous, no, just truthful. The woman is as much to blame as the man in this situation. She is a prostitute, he is a john. There is much more to life than using one's attributes to get ahead. If you had a daughter who was beautiful would you encourage her to use her "talents" and become an "escort"?
So maybe it wasn't
LOL Glad I asked. Something about putting dandruff shampoo on the face didn't seem right.
I am almost 30 and have had it since about 14. I took accutane and had great skin for about 10 years, now its slowly creeping. I'm preggers so not sure if its the hormones contributing or not but I don't want to take accutane again. I have tried proactive and just about everything out there and nothing helped except the accutane. I'll give this a shot. I have seen the Apricot Scrub in wal-mart but have never tried it.
Oh, if you have one or two problem spots that you want to get rid of quickly, Clean and Clear Persa Gel works great. If I know I have a special event coming up I will use that daily for the week or 2 prior and it helps a lot. It clears up any problem within 2 days but within the first day the redness is completely gone.
No, it's okay! I wasn't upset or anything,
just was confused when I couldn't find it. I wanted to post all that so hopefully anyone having these problems could maybe try the same thing.
Firefox is letting me into every site I use though, so crossing my fingers it continues.
Thanks for the tip about the degfrag. I haven't done it and will. :)
Can't believe he wasn't even in the bottom three! nm

Joy said she wasn't doing much, so he made up for it

Well if it wasn't for this grandmother
There would be no wedding. Grandmothers are the "chiefs" of our tribes so to speak. I hope the best for this young couple, but it sounds like they're being childish. Let the grandmother invite some people, unless their felons. 
ok, said I wasn't posting again, but...
 BRAVO...excellent post...I was practically jumping outta my seat reading your post...THANK YOU..and thank your daughter personally from me for giving so much of herself and caring so much for the otherwise unfortunate children out there. Her students are blessed beyond measure and she will surely be richly rewarded for her hard work and dedication to these children...again........... to you and your daughter (you are undoubtedly an AWESOME mother!)
you know, i wasn't even going to justify this --
but, ah c'mon... i do have to work. it was not a steak knife stuck in him. the incident happened while he was less than 10 feet away. like i said, i wasn't even going to justify your "concern" with a response, but your statement is absurd. you're concerned that i was typing and not watching my child ?!? do you have kids? do you HAVE to work? do you have a spouse? i am all alone in this venture called life, raising this wonderous gift of a cherished child. there's no one but me to pay the mortgage, school tuition, the car note, and on and on and on. i have no help from anyone. i could keep my eyes glued to him if i was on state assistance. get real, it was just a slight bump in the road of life.
Mom wasn't kidding - it IS all gone!
What a cute picture.
I wasn't trying to be smart, I was
actually confused.
I wasn't going to reply to this but
the more I thought about it the more it infuriates me. What child deserves to be hit? Should I hit someone just because they aren't behaving? What about when I'm out shopping and I encounter a rude person who is cutting in line/grabbing at things, etc, should I hit them? How about if someone cuts me off driving should I run them over and "switch" them? We are the adults here and children DO NOT deserve to be hit for any reason. There is always another way to deal with their behavoir. But then again, I guess as long as you don't leave welts its fine right....despicable
Too bad this wasn't your first comment
to her instead of the rudeness above.
it wasn't much mentioned or
talked about, but after Katrina, other countries DID send money and supplies and I remember right, a lot of money was given to the 911 fund. I wonder about the supplies turned away Burma a couple of weeks ago. I am afraid that instead of actually reporting news, we are dealt the canned versions and have to suffer through many of the same reports over and over.
no i wasn't offended :) sm
i feel like to each their own. my kids didn't sleep with me when they were babies. they slept in their own rooms and actually they fell asleep on their own very well. my second boy would sometimes spit up big time while sleeping, so i kept him close to me anytime he was sleeping, in his bassinet (gosh don't know how to spell that!!).
i see my hubby and his family and although they all love each other, there is no communication whatsoever in his family and they aren't near as close as i am with my mom and dad. i want my boys to grow up knowing they can talk to me about anything and that i'm always here for them. my hubby is the type that keeps EVERYTHING to himself. i'm not like that! i blame his family for not having open communication, and my hubby suffers from anxiety to a certain extent. his family situation is a whole nother chapter!
thanks for your input! 
She wasn't with him - had already taken her back to her mom - nm

Sorry...it was okay, but I wasn't blown away.
:(
perhaps I wasn't clear enough for you
My husband accompanied my son to practice. The then assistant coach was trying to make conversation with him. He asked my husband where he worked -- typical question, like how's the weather? My husband answered honestly and left it at that. This guy went on to tell his life story. My husband did not repeat this to anyone other than his supervisor when he realized it was a breach of ethics for him to be around him.
Again, my husband approached the head coach about the situation and without going into detail about the man's criminal history, asked for a transfer. The head coach referred him to the league president, who asked why he needed a transfer. He then told the league president, who does the background checks and would have found out anyway, why he needed the transfer. The league president then informed the head coach, who who told the assistant coach why he decided to remove him from his coaching staff. We certainly did not discuss this with any other parents on the team. We had also requested that the head coach not discuss with the assistant coach until and if it would be necessary. We were hoping to avoid the situation entirely by transferring our child, not the ex-convict's kid. Silly us to think we were doing the right thing?
The last thing we wanted was for any of this to come to light. We tried to handle it discretely. I'm guessing you're also one of those people who likes to make the people trying to do the right thing out to be the bad guy.
She wasn't saying don't talk about it, just

Good for them! Thank God it wasn't mandated that they be!

That wasn't implied. One would think that with all the dictations you have
transcribed, you would KNOW that the majority of illnesses are cured by medications made by pharmaceutical companies, and not green-tea types of herbal remedies.
Fine. But that wasn't my point.
There's no need to jump all over someone who wants to help. I applaud the unselfishness.
I forgot to add that what you said wasn't an option...sm
This paper was due in her 1st period and the media center at school doesn't open up until then. She was going to take it on disk and swing by there just in case she could convince someone to open up early for her.
She wasn't going to do Easter for the girls, so they did. sm
It's ok. Every kid, even at that age, regarding you IMHO, deserves a great Easter basket. Get over it and stay out of it.
yes, i sure did andyou can't tell me he wasn't guilty. nm

This wasn't sweeps week.. That is in May
and I suppose you think they just kept all the money raised and bought themselves some new clothes, maybe a few new houses, and just sat there laughing and laughing about the big scam they just pulled. By the way, this telethon also raised money for children in America.
This season certainly wasn't as good as the first 2.
I'll watch in the fall, but the show has a long way to go to make up for undoing the first 2 seasons.
BTW, my first post wasn't in response to yours (sm)
I meant to respond to OP but had been reading your post and accidentally posted under yours. Not arguing your point at all.
No it wasn't, it was pulled off the table to be
reworked and submitted again in January. It won't stop the BYB, they will pay for the licence cause they are making money on all those poor dogs/cats they keep in those cages. That is disgusting and it is inhumane, but those kind of people are deceitful and rotten to begin with and they always find a way.
Maybe the garage was too cluttered, and there wasn't

I wasn't necessarily the money
He was a self-made millionare already due to either mining or construction. I live just across the state line from WV so he was in the news a lot, but you are right, his life is certainly worse then when it was before the lottery. I am still going to play though.
Yeah, she wasn't exactly thrilled!!
And then all the kidding she had to take afterwards for having me on Labor Day!!
Who said the daughter wasn't and why are we bickering
we can do is assume. I have my opinion, you have yours. Let's just agree to disagree and move on.
Okay, this probably wasn't really fair - hint
Most people have never even heard of this movie so I will give you a hint.
Richard Lewis plays a less than confident surgeon.
"I was a field surgeon during the war. We'd work long hours. We'd eat while we operated. One time, there's this young soldier I was trying to save, he took a cannonball in the stomach. After 18 hours of surgery, I did it. Never felt better in my life. Until, just like that, the patient dies. Turns out I left half a bologna sandwich in his lung."
Didn't say i don't spank, just said wasn't going to
