I am interested in what our Southern people have to say.
The phrase is "Bag Lady"
What do you think, when you hear 'bag lady', and is it offensive? Are there different generational meanings of the word?

I hate to use this phrase, but men really don't always think

Get Over It Already is an immature phrase, as are young teens who act this way

Teach him the phrase, "Neither a borrower nor a

I hate the phrase "the patient expired"
I have never liked that phrase...makes me think of spoiled milk or something. We don't come with expirations dates!!
Good church being the key phrase. Some are just a treadmill to keep you busy with "busy work"

I had one lady who
said "normotraumatic, acephalic" every report! Must be hard only seeing patients with no heads, lol!
Oil of Old Lady as my son would say
I use Oil of Olay daily moisturing cream for my sons, especially my older one in the winter. He tends to lick his lips and drool a lot and it seems to really help.
FYI Lady
dogs are not allowed in grocery stores! Mine is in his carrying bag not invading any one's space. Oh, lady, I hope you can appreciate life and others some day. Don't waste life on negativity and being narrow minded.
QA Lady-
I read your post again and I see you think she a is a gold digger. No advice there. My father's wife is too, but he never supported me. His $ is just like stranger's $ to me.
I don't know how I would react in your situation. I would probably try to talk to him. She might try to cut you off if she sees you as a threat. *sigh* Men never think with their brain when a woman is involved.
I didn't phrase that well. I didn't mean to SM
offend. I think I said that to other lady below!
I wouldn't want to be told that myself. I guess you sounded down. Again, if I offended anyone, I'm sorry.
I'm a channel surfer. Last night watched PBS documentary on Kennedy assasination, then PBS show on Dick Cheney. Yuck. Then watched show on stem cell research to cure paralysis. There were two young woman, both with paralysis, who were so inspiring. Watched another segment on Current about blind people using their voices to "see". That had to be seen to be believed. Anyway, positives offset the negative.
Again, sorry if I said anything out of line.
You are one angry lady!
I'm not sure what your problem is.
I'm not the OP, but I can certainly tell you that every doglover in the world has the right to have their pet in their own space. Not in mine, though.
Public places that are not designed for dogs include shopping malls, etc. (except pet stores where that is the entire focus of their business).
Perhaps a dog is the only thing that can be nice to you with that attitude of yours!
Calm down!!
Lady in Red? Did she sing a really
useless song...I can't remember her name either. LOL!
Pink Lady, how are you doing hon?
I haven't been on the board in a while but I wanted to stop in and check on you. 
Just north of me. The lady I had
charged me $65 every other week for 2400 sq feet minus my office cause I do it myself. I also tipped her. She spent about 3-1/2 to 4 hours here.
All other quotes I am getting from individuals are a little higher than that but I would rather pay more and get better service. Some agencies want around $130. I found one that quoted me $70 to $87 but could not get out to give me an exact estimate until a week later so I am waiting to hear back from the ladies I emailed on Craigslist to see if they can come this week.
I talked to some lady who said she has had them...
for 20 years. Lord, I hope not. I found it helps if you wear cotton - no polyester, rayon, etc. Also, for night sweats, I keep fan going in room and use 100% cotton sheets, blankets, etc. Sometimes my inner child is just playing with matches - other times she brings out the blow torch! Good luck and hang in there. We got the periods and had the babies - the guys REALLY should have gotten the hot flashes.
Lady, you seriously, seriously have to get a life. nm

A lady I know tried to pull this
kind of scam years ago. Her neighbor turned her in and she never even knew it. Still doesn't as far as we all know.
Her neighbor (friend of mine) called L&I (industrial accident supposedly) and reported that she was lifting, driving, going to the kids soccer games, driving them back and forth, doing yardwork, even waterskiing. She told the insurance that she did not want to be identified because they lived next door so they sent a private investigator to watch her for a few days. That's all it took.
Lady and The Tramp
The way I understood it, the tax lady was.....sm
saying that she thought he was "slow" because he was black and blacks are not given the same opportunities as white people. I would be mad. She was more or less calling him dumb. I can't stand people who want to put down people of other races. God created all of us and Heaven is not going to be segregated!!!
lol - you are 2 much, church lady!
LMAO
I once saw a lady on TV with MM breasts
It was on Geraldo or one of those back in the talk-show boom days about 15 years ago. She was size MM and it was really gross. They looked like they would burst at any second.
I worked with a lady who
had the same problem, she always had her hair cut short, but the top was poofy and you could read print through it. She finally got extensions and you would never know, but this seems like high maintenance. She is in administration and has to look her best at all times. (me, my clothes are wash and wear and so am I).
to the lady with hot hands
Sorry I have not responded. Been busy for a change, lol.
Thanks for the kind words. I actually am not on any medication right now for the RA. I switched rheumatologists a few months ago, and because my bloodwork was so very mildly positive and because I am hypermobile, they decided to see what would happen if I were taken off my Plaquenil. Proud to say I stiffened up after a few months, but my blood work is still not showing much inflammation, even though my rheumatoid factor has increased.
I also decided to not try any of the other medications. I know, it sounds risky and perhaps even stupid, but I just got off some harsh medications for another condition and I am kind of bucking the system. Because I have not had a flareup (that I am aware of, and i think those are hard to miss) since I stopped the medication, I am going to play it by ear, see what happens.
I did find out last week that my thyroid has finally tanked, and have started Synthroid for that. Poor thing was tested so many times and never came back abnormal.
Anyhow, I would talk to my doc if I were you about all the autoimmune disorders, have them run some blood tests and see if anything shows up. Here is another tip I have just learned - both with thyroid and with RA - even if your blood work shows up negative, if you have all the clinical symptoms of disease/disorder/syndrome "x", they should consider treating for it. I waited at least three years for a diagnosis on the RA, and my main symptom was the feeling yucky and sick but not sick all the time. It just had not shown up in my bloodwork until about a year ago, and by the time it had, I wasted a lot of time being tired.
Oh, also check your vitamin D.
Sorry so rambly. Good luck

I am sure the Avon lady above would
xyz
This old lady has to rant about a rather SM
unimportant detail noted on AOL, among all the other unimportant details. I know this isn't important, people might mock me, call me names, say haven't I got more important things to worry about, what with our economy in trouble, violence in the Middle East, that crazy woman with the 14 babies, but....
THEY ARE REMAKING BONNIE AND CLYDE, ONLY ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES EVER MADE, AND THEY ARE MAKING IT WITH HILARY DUFF AS BONNIE!!!!! HILARY DUFF!!!!!!
I suppose Clyde will be played by Justin Timberlake, although from what I have seen from Justin, that might not be bad choice.

You said ever been without a child, lady
she had 6 before she got pregnant with these! Do you not understand why people are up in arms like they are? I do not want to take care of her kids through my taxes and I am sure others feel exactly like I do. I think all the children should be adopted out. This woman is nutty as a fruitcake. She deserves nothing through her website. She is talking literally about breaking the law when she says will use student loans for the children. What do you not understand about this broad? She has major mental issues. You go ahead and cry for these children. I along with others totally ticked off and I hope some heads roll with the mess. I had 2 children. I knew I could not afford more. I did not bring an extra child onto this earth to have to struggle and not have what I could afford to give them. I raised my children without food stamps, welfare or the like working several jobs in order to do so and give them what I thought they needed. This charade of a mother cannot start to do even the bare necessities. I feel disgust and turn the TV off the channel when I see something coming up about her. She is really sick.
you are one smart lady and sm
willbe rewarded. Now you can use that money for the decorating and yes that is the fun part!
Can I ask your age (botoxing lady)
Just wondering and wondering if you are happy with your surgery results? Can they do arms without leaving noticable scars? I always wonder how those older actresses can still wear sleeveless and look decent.
I have mouth parenthesis. I'm guessing I would have to use some sort of filler for those since botox can't be used around the mouth.
I think we should have all come with drawstrings!
For my vacation I have a lady
who comes over once a day to feed and water my 3 cats. I would rather have them here at home where they are comfortable than leaving and going to be caged up while I am gone. This is on trips hubby and I take. On trips I made alone hubby is here every other day and he gives extra food and water in between the days he is home. Of course he always gets calls most every day wanting to know how they ate, did they have their "treats," etc. They give me so much pleasure and I want them to have the necessities (and a few treats, their toys, etc., etc.)
I saw a lady on one of those makeover shows and
she had her hair cut into a really great style that made her two tone hair look really trendy. They did put a third color in her hair. She had longer hair than you but perhaps you can have the same thing done to yours only shorter. They layered her hair.
Lady - get a grip. You want me to apply because
you "dare" me to? Your weird and out of touch with reality.
a little story to share - a lady I know here
She went out on one date with him - went back to his place where he got nasty, grabbed her arm and threw her across a room and she ended up with a fractured wrist.
My experience with online dating is it doesn't work 95% of the time - a bunch of men online who seemingly cannot *cut the mustard* in real time are not going to change just because they are online.
Yes, I have seen folks meet up online and marry and I have seen twice as many marriages/relationships break up because of people meeting others online.
BE_VERY_CAREFUL_PLEASE!!
one lady quit over my list
she was offended and said she knew how to do her job. I was a little upset at the moment and said if I was good enough to pay on time and tip consistently why could I expect my cleaning to be consistent.
Oh well my house is dirty I am exhausted and I will spend my day off trying to get caught up and start back still exhausted.
then just a simple cleaning lady?
OK, I gotcha! I'm thinking about doing this myself...my hubby just got a hefty raise, so hopefully I can afford to pay someone to clean my house now!
Lady, you have got to get a life! Seriously! You probably waited
all day for a response like this just to justify your hate and meanness. You need serious, serious help. I am not kidding!
Older lady here, some insight maybe
I have a friend whose situation is 100% like yours. She does not care for her husband, tells others she doesn’t and is so turned off by any actions he takes such as the dirty talking, the fondling (which she says gropping), etc. I have heard this before from her as you are talking about. My friend also wants to withhold sex like you, tells me her hubby is complete turnoff. On the other hand, I am so much in love with my husband and he talks dirty and loving at the same time and I love it. If he wants to hug, kiss, whatever, I am right on the same page with him. He is probably the dirtist talking man I have ever met and love that also. No one else would ever believe me because he is very shy and quiet around others. I feel your situation is a direct result of how you are feeling towards your husband in the first place. If you truly loved him, I do not think his actions would be that repulsive to you. Probably if you could and wanted to salvage this relationship, starting with marital therapy might work but do you really want this? I see you and he as being in a standoff and that is not a good thing for any marriage.
This lady was stunned when she found out
what her daughter had done. It was an accident that the doll was out there. I talked to her personally so I guess I do know most of the facts.
True, yet the lady still could have suggested since it was
the LITTLE GIRL she was dealing with when the mothers back was turned that it was worth more than $2.00. It really sound like the woman took advantage...Again, taking candy from a baby. That's my point. Such a shame.
That Lady Lumps tune...
was the cell phone ringer tone on Michael's cell phone in "The Office" show there. Darned near slayed me the first time I heard it! Now that you put it in my head, there it will be for a good 48 hours or so...thanks for that.
yeah, know a lady with lupus
and not ill at all aside from once when she was diagnosed many years ago and had the rash, etc. Same here, her housing is paid, she gets a check every month from the government, parking sticker; surely the red carpet treatment! Something is very wrong with this country :)
I think this is a stretch and not what tax lady meant
x
You know this lady? Can you give us the real
scoop? A lot of what she says doesn't make sense.
Are you crazy? It sounds like this lady is just
starting off exercising and your talking about trails and going up hills. Not everyone is that fit, especially if she's just starting. And 21 gears - your nuts! Sounds like that takes the fun out of biking with so many gears.
Lady, just get out. You women who vacillate should I or
shouldn't I....grow a spine, do what is best for you and your children and be assertive about it. Life is too short to be unhappy.
You did the right thing. Don't second guess yourself lady! nm
nn
2 years later!? Geesh lady. nm

Ebonics? lol You better watch it lady...
someone is going to accuse you of being racist!
Lady here at my home now training to become
a nurse and she says no discrimination in becoming a nurse, nothing supposedly plays into your training.
Hahahaha! You are really a witty lady...
Yes, it has gotten too deep for me also.
I just posted the innocent question:
What do you think about Europeans?
And it ended with 'cheese' and 'guns' and 'shooting'!
What happened to the honorable MT profession?
You can be happy that you are retired. I guess that the recession does not affect you much, or does it?
Cleaning lady broke something again!
This time it's really not replaceable. It was a tiny glass vase of tuilps that my MIL brought back from Italy. Each tulip was separate and just adorable.
I MIGHT be able to find something like it online, but I haven't looked yet. She/they have broken stuff before and while the stuff as been important to me it was not expensive.
I had this, and a few other things in my bedroom entertainment cabinet - to PROTECT it from HER. Today she decides to clean in there.
I think this is it. She cleans well and is affordable, but at this rate everything important to me will be broken in a couple of years.
