In Reply to: "blacks not offered the same opportunities" is only - race related comment seen. How is this racist? nm
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!!!

from the way I understood it--sm
it wasn't dog food that was sold to the farmers, it was the same chemical put into the pig and chicken food, as well as what was put into the dog and cat food. According to the Chinese, they have been doing this for years and it is an approved practice, over there. I am sure there is going to be other animal foods that have been tainted with this melamine stuff, too.
I am just as disgusted as you are!
understood...sm
but I do believe there are some dry foods on the list now, as well, and if I remember right it was through Dr.'s Foster & Smith, and involved some type of brown rice food, but I am not sure about that either, I just think there are some dry foods on the list now. I will have to check again later. It seems the list is growing every day and it scares me.
I understood the comment, too
That's why I thought it was offensive.
Oh I didn't say I understood it!
I just figured it was the same argument my husband is always spewing...that beautiful people will always come out smelling like roses because they always have their looks to fall back on (beauty over brains, etc.) and America sure loves its beautiful people. Some people associate skinness with beauty, which is true in most of the cases, I just see more cases of the opposite where I am in this little world of ours ;-)
If you understood their culture...
you would be more enlightened as to how dates and names are said, rather than complaining about them. Really not anything to get that irritated over.

That's something I've never understood either
As long as you remain "unborn" there's compassion aplenty but mess around and get born and you're on your own.
I've never really understood that
I mean I do in cases of working around machinery, etc., but I know a lot of guys who don't have to worry about getting their fingers caught and they still don't wear them. It's almost like they don't want to advertise that there married.
My husband was on the fence about this when we got married ("his daddy doesn't wear his"), but I told him it really meant a lot to me and for me it is a symbol of our marriage (and yes, a bit of a marker for any ladies who want to take a gander at my DH LOL) and now he doesn't even realize he has it on anymore.
I've never seen his dad wear his, but he is also a carpenter, so that may be why I guess.
as I understood it when my parents retired--sm
and were on social security, they could only earn a certain amount above that social security. anything over that, they had to file. they may also reduce ss benefits by the amount earned. I may be wrong, but that was how I understood it. My mom is 78, completely on ss, has no other income, and does not have to file income tax.
I never understood why people like camping.
Maybe it's because I've always been a working-poor hick and every day life is kinda sorta like camping...
If I could do it, I'd take luxury accomodations all the way, baby. Plush furniture, gourmet meals, never-ending hot showers, room service, and NO CHORES!
I couldn't even fathom wanting to scrounge around for firewood, finding potable water, pooping in the woods, swatting at bugs, worrying about what's gonna camp out in your sleeping bag with you...ugh! Call me a pussy, but that's just me!
i LOVE it!!!! i never understood why this wasn't
dancing is more visual. The Idol contest should be held over the radio, I think it would be more fair because I think everybody gets hung up on looks too much (lets vote for the cute one)
She sings awful anyway. I never understood
how she got that far in the first place. Scott either, for that matter. He's nowhere near the caliber of singer the rest are. But I'm glad she's gone -- she was so annoying. Was she wasted last night?!
I agree, I never understood the whole hoopla
about Angelina Jolie, same with Brad Pitt. When Jolie was younger, o.k., but now she looks really anemic and frail. I have always the urge to feed her.
I totally agree. I never understood how it
won so many awards. It was boring.
OK, Hayseed...explain how you understood this post please...sm
Cause I'm still lost on this one! 
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.
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
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.
