still uses it, so we get calls for her all the time! We got this number over a year ago when we moved and constantly get calls for her. We always tell them this is not her number anymore, but I guess lately she's been using it to give to loan places because they told us this. They apologize but it still stinks. She has a lot of debt out there, especially for school loans. We don't want to change it, though, and go through the same thing again and having to tell everyone our new number for nothing. We're also signed up at the Do Not Call website.

Are you a night person or a morning person?

age is just a number; one is only as old as
I liked the Number 23 as well!!

number one cause of
Is cheap soap. Cough it up for some Tide brand or something dye/fragrance free and use plain ole Ivory soap.
Then I would wash everything in the house in hot water, including the drapes and have the carpets cleaned, just in case it is from the dogs.
that was more than a number of years ago...nm

It should be 3fatchicks.com (have to use the number)

approaching 8 is a litter. I have enough sense to know difference between normal births and in my words, nothing but a litter. The mother needs to be spayed. Now come back on that, also.
Is there a way to block a number...sm
from calling your house if that caller is calling from a cell phone. My mom has tried to block my dad from calling her house and it says this number cannot be blocked. I was also gonna block his # from my phone as well. I know it sounds terrible but my husband just came home today from working out of town and we were trying to watch TV and spend time together. My dad wouldn't quit calling. I mean we are talking every 10 minutes. I answered it about 4 times thinking he would quit calling if I talked to him. No he would just keep calling. And I am not exaggerating -- it was every 10-15 minutes. It will make you want to throw the phone out the window. All he says when I answer is I'm bored. I am like ok and why don't you watch TV or call a friend or something. He will literally keep calling and say I am just so bored. I can't take this. Why won't your mama take me back? Blah Blah Bhlah. My mom said a call from a cell phone can't be blocked. There has to be something I can do. I was gonna block my house # and if he keeps calling my cell I can just turn it off. Does anyone know a way to block a cell phone call?
call this number if you care so much...
`-877-IDOL-AID
or go to www.one.org

THIS IS WHAT AMERICAN IDOL WAS DOING LAST NIGHT - COLLECTING MONEY OF which half was going to the poverty-stricken in the USA and the other half to Africa.
This was such a non-superficial American Idol...but again, did you even watch?
Josh Groban brought some of us to tears with those African children singing with him, as did Carrie Underwood in Africa with the children - very touching indeed...to say the least.
If you have their number call them back
I recently bought a repo'd house, and I have been getting constant calls from the creditors of the former owner...how and why they got MY phone number is probably not very legal, based on the address I presume, as I put myself on the "do not call list" the minute I got my new phone number. Capitol 1 in particular was calling me every single day at the crack of dawn (I work 2nd shift) wanting this guy. Finally I wrote down every number that had been calling me on a log and started calling them back, and behold it was the same company calling from a different number every time! I began insisting on speaking to supervisors and threatening them with a harrassment lawsuit. They promised to stop, and then started again in 2 weeks. So I started calling them back again. For now it has stopped, but I don't know for how long. I guess I'll be getting mail and phone calls for this guy forever more (he recently subscribed to some magazines and they're all being sent here). Sure would like to meet him in person and force him to fill out a change of address form!
I have had my phone number for 6+ years.
When I first received it I kept receiving calls from agencies for a specific person. I told them this was not their number, etc., and had no idea who this person was. After a while, they stopped calling; but now after 6 years I am getting them again for new debts, so this person is using my number (which may have been their old one) still. I just tell them I have had this number xxx years and this person repeatedly uses it for their info and eventually they quit calling. I did have to speak with a manager once, and after that they stopped.
now divide that over the number of taxpayers
and don't forget to figure in her tuition that we will all be paying. SICKENING!
Just the opposite for me - 13 is my lucky number,
Same goes for odd-numbered years. Those almost always go well for me, and without fail, even-numbered ones are the pits.
There was a time a number of years ago -
when everything was so frustrating at work, at home, and everywhere else, I came within a heartbeat of just getting in the car and leaving EVERYTHING behind: Abandoning my job, my friends, my family, my apartment, even the pets in my apartment. EVERYTHING. Just leaving and becoming somebody else, somewhere else.
But I decided to give it just ONE MORE DAY. The next day I called in sick and didn't go to work, just to give myself one more day to think about it, and to pack and close out my bank account, just in case I was really going to do it.
The next day I went in to work, and guess WHAT? The boss had been fired! From that point on, things started looking up, so I stayed.
A number of years ago I was discussing
tubal versus vasectomy with the assistant pastor's wife. They had 3 kids and were done, but her hubby didn't want the vasectomy. Someone had told him it increased prostate cancer risk or something like that. News to me. Anyway, she really did not want a tubal because she had seen her mother suffer so terribly after hers, and her mother eventually had to have a hysterectomy. That was the first I had ever heard of such a side effect, but I didn't forget it, and have since heard many people describe the same thing.
A vasectomy makes so much more sense if you are paying out of pocket. My husband's insurance was through a Catholic organization so we had to pay ourselves, which is why we chose that option.
It's not a psychological problem. It's just not a side effect that everyone has.
Way to block phone number?
I just answered the phone and same ole, same ole company calling that I do not wish to talk with. If no return phone number comes in on my ID, is there some way after the fact of blocking this number out?
No, but I've let someone use my phone number....SM
Big mistake. We rented out our home for a while and let the renter use that home phone for outgoing calls. I forwarded my calls to my cell phone from this number. She couldn't receive calls, just could make calls. But, now I'm getting calls from bill collectors and I wonder how many databases my phone number is in due to her using my number. Won't do that again.
1 vote per phone number would be fair...sm
that way they'd really know what people think and not who has the fanciest speed dial modems that casts hundreds of votes per phone line.
Mine has an emergency phone number to
call when things happen out of the office hours. THe recording at the office should say something about emergencies and what to do about them.
Block his phone number and don't answer- sm
the door. Also get a restraining order if you have too. Call a doctor or hospital and find out what is necessary in terms of committment, stop threatening him and do it if you are legally able to. If you cannot then give him some phone numbers of services that can help him tell him he has to help himself. No wonder your mom divorced him, sounds like a 2-year-old who wants everything his way and takes utterly no responsibility for himself.
How? By Googling "normal number of sexcapades?" nm

My german shepard has the number one name Max - but it is short for his registered name Max-in-a-mil
My Rott is Rock Haus
and last but not least I had to snakes male and a female named Felony and Miss Demeanor.
Oh and my Bichon is Mandolyn Lee
It may be a minor inconvenience but definitely get your phone number changed.
I went through a similar situation, but the guy I met and went out WITH FRIENDS with only ONCE went nuts on me and did the same thing, calling all hours of the day and night, showing up unannounced, at church when I picked up my daughter from Sunday school, he was sitting in a chair next to her and had no business even being there and didn't even go to my church. I asked the Sunday school teacher about it and she said he said he was my daughters stepfather! I said, no, he is not and he's nuts. I quit going to that church and I really liked that church, but I had to protect myself and my daughter. Finally, when I was at work he broke into my house, broke every pane of glass in all of my family photos hanging on the wall and stole some of my panties from my dresser and there was a note in my underwear drawer and it had the B word written on it. I was scared to death and I called the police and they arrested him. I was so upset that I moved to another city that was still within driving distance of my job, I changed my phone number, and my brother even got me a different car so he wouldn't know I still worked at the same place because he would drive by and see my car. When I got to work every morning, I parked out of sight and came in through the back instead of the front the way I used to. Oh, I also changed my last name to my grandmothers last name.
For the last several years I have lived in another state and am happily married to a very nice man, but I'll never forget that horrible experience in my life.
to confuse the roman numeral II for the arabic number 11.

I did notice that but I hate to put my SS number on the internet. I know they said it is secure but
how secure is anything. I just wondered if anyone could give me an idea of the length of time it takes. Thanks.
it is too easy to confuse the roman numeral II for the arabic number 11.

Christmas Story is my number one off all time - never get sick of that flick! nm

I switched to an unlisted number. It made a huge difference! nm

When I checked the 800 number for update on my IRS refund check to be mailed it is now
a week later and no refund check in the mail after the date they gave on the 800 line. Anyone else have this problem.
It probably varies from person to person (sm)
With me, first child I was out of the bed seriously within 5 minutes of having him. I didn't tear or have to be cut, he was 7 pounds, 3 ounces. The doctor did some type of vaginal massage on me though while I was in labor and that was supposed to help loosen the vaginal wall?
Second child, same experience. She was 8 pounds, 1 ounce and within 5 minutes of having her, while they took her to the nursery to get cleaned up and all, I walked downstairs with my husband to the cafeteria to get a drink and stretch my legs. I had already put my regular clothes back on as well. My doctor who delivered her was walking in my room as I was walking in and he was stunned a second and said he thought I was a visitor, LOL, not the patient.
I don't think you have to have bed rest in normal cases. With my son I went home within 24 hours with him and with my daughter we went home in only 20 hours.
Last night Bravo had "The 100 Scariest Movies Of All Time" and number one was ...sm
Jaws!?!?! I didn't find that scary at all! The Exorcist and Audition are the scariest for me.
Gabby, if you buy Bar S franks, the number of buns match the nubmer of dogs. LOL. nm

No, I am not that person...sm
Nor am I trying to be ugly...I think YOU come first in this situation. If not, you'll get in deep trouble with your health, then what? Your family needs you...take care of yourself, and make your husband pitch in...that's all I'm sayin'
Who is this person?
I have no clue who this person is.
I saw a person having 1 of those 1 day
and they could do like all the other people around, just ignored it. I was in a public building, guy down and frothing at the mouth, not a good scene but totally ignored.
What do you think causes a person to be --sm
unable to show feelings/compassion for anyone else? I have a friend?? who shows no emotion at all. Says it is the way she was brought up and her family are not talkers. I shared some devastating news about my son with her last night and she has shown more sympathy to her dog after it was spayed than she did to me. Just do not understand how someone can see a person as broken as I was last night and offer absolutely no comfort.
I think that person needs more than just a
xx
Perhaps you could help me tell if this person is just like you or not?
If not that is fine, but you could probably use your "talent" to help others, like a PI or something.
Are you the same person who
posted a month or so ago having sent an e-mail to your husband's family regarding your husband's brother who is in jail and the father's apparent favortism? Just curious if this is the same family we are talking about. I remember that husband was bipolar and alcoholic.
I don't know the legalities of the situation but you might have to go through the garbage of calling the police, the dramatics and the ER one last and final time. But then be done with it. He's not choosing to get better and you can't make him. Change the locks.
Be strong. Hugs to you.
Mom of 3 you are one nasty person...
I hope your children dont take after you. Teaching them responsibility is one thing but pure nastiness is another.....
What a Wonderful Person
I wish I knew more people like you. It's too bad that some people are like this, but unfortunately the world is so much different thatit used to be. Keep doing what makes you happy.
how condescending can a person be?
After I had a surgery 2 years ago, I gained an incredible amount of weight - not water. Last May I started going to the pool and doing water aerobics every single day for 2 months and changed to a low-fat diet. I did not lose weight, but I was replacing fat with muscle, which is the first step with the amount of weight I was dealing with. Then I started getting one URI and sinus infection/ear infection after another. All that exercise kicked my GI tract into hyperdrive. Now I have IBS and colitis. I can't exercise because I have to battle real and exhausting pain for the next 2 hours. I have pain every single day. I no longer have hunger pains as normal people do, so I really do have problems knowing when it is appropriate for me to eat. I've been with 2 different GI's during this time, failed 5 or 6 different medicines, and still can't lose weight, diet or exercise. My pay has been cut in half. I had to quit my second job and only work part time now instead of full time - all because I wanted to get healthy and in shape again.
The next time you think having extra weight is a choice, let me invite you to pay the $600/month I pay for medicines to control my GI tract issues. 
I usually tip 15% because I also tip the shampoo person.,,,,
But if the hairdresser does it all, including the shampoo, etc., I tip closer to 20%.
I would say either try a contact person where the
contact may be someone in the Social Services for your state. Maybe even the Division of Child Welfare. I would look in the phonebook under government agencies. I bet a social worker may be able to help or guide you in the right direction. I knew someone who had a child with cerebral palsy that took the insurance offered from the employer, but was able to get Medicaid for the child as a supplement for things the primary did not cover. I am not sure if this is state-by-state though. Hope this helps. Good luck to you and your daughter as her children do need health insurance.
To The Person Who E-mailed Me
The calling card is yours if you want, but I didn't receive a reply address; the "From" field was blank for some reason. If you could resend, that would be great!
I think it depends on the person....
xx
It seems to me the person should be talking
to the person they are having dinner with and not someone on a phone. And as posted below, they usually have to talk rather loud and I do find that annoying.
To the person who e-mailed me...
Thanks so much for the information about BioSpot. I had no idea and I should have done my research beforehand. I have already ordered it but will be sending it back. I finally figured out that the Zodiac has been making my dog very itchy, so much so she has a hot spot now. Used it before but did not put two and two together. I think I will try the Frontline.
Thanks again for the warning! Hope your cat is doing better now.
Take it seriously and report to the person
you would think would be most instrumental in getting the assistance she seems to need.
U must be a wonderful person....
to have two such beautiful people in your life. Sounds like you have a great family!
This person is not a friend
You could use all kinds of psychological terms like "codependent" and "enabling" but the fact is, she is a mooch and you are a sucker.
Harsh, I know, because you were trying to be nice and help someone. But there are some people you just can't be "nice" to. They will walk all over you. Obviously, she is one of those people.
If you're angry at anyone, you should be angry at yourself for taking so long to figure this out.
But that would be a waste of time. Chalk it up to experience and move on. Cut your ties with this person as much as possible, and if on occasion you have to see her for whatever reason, practice saying "No. No. NO."
