I am amazingly surprised by it!! It really does work great (sm)
and I have barely had to clean the shower. I would buy all those in the spray bottles, but let's face it, no one but me is actually going to spray the shower in this house and half the time I forget! I can actually get the kids to press the button on this when they are done in the shower and it gives you a few beeps before it starts off, so they make a game out of it.
We just moved into this house a fever months ago and it is even beginning to remove the crud that I could not get off from the previous owner and it is literally starting to shine - and I am only on the second bottle. This is really one product I can recommend, especially if you hate cleaning the shower as much as I do!
P.S. When the beeps go off, don't watch to see what it does without goggles! :)
short arms, short-term memory loss...
I too suffer from Short Arm Syndrome. Add to that the short-term memory loss that middle-age brings and I have now discovered I need to lasso the &*%$ reading glasses around my neck or my day will be spent wandering in circles asking the dog where my glasses are.
I have two pairs, per advice of doctor. I do not wear glasses all the time, so he thought I was not ready for bifocals. My son gave me a wonderful eyeglass case for Christmas that is big enough to hold both pairs should I ever venture out of the house amongst the living.
I did manage to find some "sporty" looking around-the-neck-eye glass holder thingies - what DO you call those things? I'd use twine before getting those multicolored beaded ones. I have a neon coral one and an emerald green one. Too bad I can't find the former, I can't remember where I put it.
That is encouraging
I am having a hard time fitting in fruits and vegetables and eating more popcorn, there frozen meals, etc. I am afraid that the lack of eating the fresh fruits and veggies will keep me from losing. I will Google that 3fatchicks. Thanks!
That was encouraging. Thanks.
xx
from all of us hefties, thanks for encouraging.
I know you are right. I used to have such self-discipline, but maybe not anymore. One thing about that calorieking too, is that you can try it for a week and get you money back if you don't like it. It seems closer to the 'no fad' 'plus exercise' ideas. If you don't mind my asking, how long did it take you to lose 11 lbs? I want to pattern myself some realistic goals. thanks.
Thanks for the encouraging word.
Sasha is at the oncologist right now, getting a dose of chemo for lymphoma. The biggest worry was that her calcium was up at 18, but they got it down where they could give her the chemo.
Hopefully she will respond well.
Cedric is so depressed about her being away that he wouldn't eat this morning. He got up on my bed and tried to wrestle with me.
Encouraging Thoughts Here
The police called Social Services because they had to. However, your response to Social Services is what will either end it or have it drag on.
You've done nothing wrong. Try to keep remembering that, but remember it from a position of confidence, not defensiveness.
Also, you will have to follow up on every time your husband has violated the restraining order.
Quiet calm confidence will see you through this. And a clean house, LOL! Best wishes!
Thank you for your encouraging and kind words! :-)
They truly helped. 
Thank you for the kind and encouraging posts.
I really do feel a lot better. And the mail box thing? Gulp.................... I never thought of that. I do actually put the cards in the mail boxes. You are so right that I should not do that, but it never dawned on me til a poster mentioned it. The little gifts are in gift bags and I hang them on the outside of the mail boxes or lamp posts at the end of the driveways, so at least I'm safe on that one. And thanks for the poster who suggested a nursing home next year. You are so right - my kids actually do that once a month, and they went caroling at a few this year. I used to go, too, but got super upset by it. I'd like to take them all home with me. But you're so right and I definitely will do that the next holiday - which one do I have to look forward to? Valentine's Day? Take care, you all. As for the negative posters, I guess they represent that there are always a few in every neighborhood who are ugly in spirit. I'm fine with that as well. I feel sorry for them and hope their issues change so they can be happy. Must be a joy to live with, but then again, they might be very nice in person - just the internet anonymity. I'll choose to believe that theory. Merry Christmas everyone!
Maybe FOREVER! That's encouraging. Don't want HRT and physician
said long term HRT is a thing of the past, which I didn't know. Now, they only give them for 3-6 months. Mine went away for a couple of months, but back again, 15-20 a day, but no night sweats. I thought this stuff only lasted a year or so.

video
I loved the video too - almost made me cry. . we are making plans to rescue a dog soon - within the next month. . can't wait to have a new "friend".
If you have not seen this video on SM
the Polish gymnasts it is worth your time. Hope you can see this.

your video
That reminds me of the scene where Jerry Maguire and (what ever Renees name was in the movie) were watching their video right after the ceremony. He was rubbing his forehead and looking quite disturbed.
I tease my boyfriend about doing that if we ever get married. We are middle aged (supposing we will live to be really old) :) and he has never been married!
Glad you had a fun time on your first anniversary!
You can't see this in the video but....sm
my hubby yawned during the ceremony. I didn't realize it because he "bit into it" but one of his groomsmen saw his jaws tighten and could tell what was happening. He did have a bachelor party that got a little wild, but my DH doesn't drink so it was not like he was out partying all night long. It has been over 20 years and I still tease him about it.
Best cat video
This was one of the best cat videos I've seen. Made me smile.

Definitely short ones
I love in Fridays when my doc does all his patients that were tested for allergies that week.
how can y'all tell anything from an 18 second video? nm

video renats
Can anyone recommend something good to rent for the weekend? Last movie I saw was Pursuit of Happyness with Will Smith. I like chick flicks, nothing violent. 
video rentals
I loved The Illusionist, I would recommend it highly. I am going to try to watch Marie Antoinette this weekend, but not sure if I'm going to get around to it. Flyboys was also good as was The Guardian. I wouldn't categorize them as chick flicks per se but I liked them.
Rescued dog video!
Don't know if you all saw this, but what a happy ending!

No but the video clips do tell about him going
to the hospital.
Maybe she was laughing because she thinks it is ridiculous too. She said she did it but didn't do it on purpose. Why would she tell her supervisor if it was not an accident? Doesn't make any sense.
I have the iPod video
I have lots of movies on mine!
I saw him in that car on the video when he was talking about it SM
and he referred to her as a B***h. Can you just imagine what her family has gone through and continues to go through? He needs to grow up and pay up.
How sad. There was a video/song
regarding something just like this, sang by a very young boy. I can't recall it but it was so touching. Cat may have access to it. I bet she will post it..
Another fun video game sm..
Is Wii Fit. It's the first video game I've ever bought in my life. It has yoga, some strength exercises, aerobics (running in place). I live in the South, and it's nice to exercise in my house with the air conditioning.
100% ban on all video games
For the last five years there has been a ban of video games in my house. My husband and my son were turning into flippin zombies. We started going on hikes in the mountains instead and now participate in extracurricular activities at the high school and volunteer.
TV has not been banned yet, as I think there would be a mutiny....
Video tape him.........I will keep saying it - sm
I said it before, a picture is worth a thousand words. You video tape him on one of his rampages and the Sheriff will definitely believe you and get off his fat butt and arrest him. Obviously try to do this w/o him knowing you are doing it....candid camera style.
I don't have a video camera right now....sm
because ours was stolen. I will have to invest in another one though. Good idea!
An inspiring video
Turn up the volume and enjoy. This is inspiring.

Short. Not in the least bit Jewish.

hopefully this will be short-lived
I'd still send pictures, etc., especially to your grandparents. Good luck!
My hair is very short right now.
Short layers and all I have to do is spray a little hairspray on it and run my fingers through it and I'm good to go. It has gotten much thicker over the years and hair color has helped with that too. I hate that I have to color my hair, though. I started going gray almost 20 years ago and I just turned 40.  At some point, I will bite the bullet and let the color grow out, but haven't gotten there yet. Not ready to be totally gray.
My hair is short
When it starts to get even a little long, I have to go out and get it cut. I don't like the way my hair or the way I look when it gets too long. I just put some gel in it and go. The only thing I don't like is that it can get dry in the sun. I've been dying my hair for about five years or so (46 now). I won't let it go gray, but that's just me. My daughter is only 4 so I feel I would look like her grandmother if I let it go gray.
My 8 y/o is a size 5, but she's SHORT...
for her age! I really hope she grows into her feet soon, looks like she has clown feet :) She's only 4 ft 3 in., but has some of the biggest feet for her age.
I have only seen short segments
as I am flipping through channels and man, is that show filthy! Is the story line that good?
Long and short of it -
While I can appreciate his desire to stop spending so much time in his car, I think the solution he is suggesting would only be very good in the short term at the most. The reality is you all probably need to sell your house and move closer to his job.
I always wanted to be short in HS, like
most of our little cheerleaders were. Now I see my height as an advantage, and i have to admit that even my freakishly long arms do come in handy. Funny how priorities change ...
My dad short-tempered and
was always yelling and pounding tables and children about the dumbest things, and mom was cold, bored and depressed, so it's hard to say.
It's so hard to shop for Mother's & Father's Day cards!
for short people
why is it the one item i need is on the very top shelf so far back i cannot reach it?
Life is too short
Unfortunately, life is actually way too long to be very, very poor, old and alone, and if you can't get along with anyone when you are young, you are not going to be that hot of a catch at the nursing home.
my short list
Milk
Liver
Okra
Tofu
Indian food
Thai food
Sushi
my short list sm
Lima beans
soft-cooked eggs (where the yolks are too runny and the whites aren't quite firm - and forget any with the shell accidentally left in)
fishy-tasting fish
Chicken/turkey liver (beef and deer is okay)
raw onions
big gobs of mayonnaise (a little in salad is okay)
tuna without celery.
I did it about 3 years ago for a short while.
I quit because it was too much of a hassle. I had to buy the magazines, brochures, samples every 2 weeks plus get orders in every 2 weeks, plus I had to deliver with baby in tow, but you could have them pick their orders up at your house but with so many reps in this area, I had to be competitive. My friend I buy Avon from was having problems the company not sending the right orders, getting things mixed up etc etc. It is just a mess for her so she dropped it.
The pro side of it was that when I sold Avon I got pretty good bargains being a rep. They send a What's New brochure every 2 weeks. There are people here that order merchandise and open their own store and sell it that way. I don't know if they are making profit or not. I do think the real money is in recruiting people to sell like other MLMs. It really doesn't make sense to me to do things that way though. It would be like having a shoe store selling Nike's on every corner. Just doesn't make sense.
From the video, yes hard to tell if real
but it was reported on the news by people who were backstage that she was upset.
Just does not look good for her even if she was joking.
I was thinking of a video monitoring
where you could perhaps view on your t.v. or something. Don't know how your mom would feel about her activities being viewed constantly, but it offers video and audio, and they have other products available. When I searched I put something about 'monitor yourself', and looked like there were some other good hits too. Hope this helps, and good luck!

Googled the video today
I don't see what the big deal is with the video. It showed him hanging for a few seconds and really was all over the place.
It's a video from a news channel
That shows how crooks can use a method called bumping to open DEADBOLT doorlocks in a couple of seconds.
The crook has some sort of key made, they stick it in your lock, rap on it with a screwdriver or small mallet, and bingo, it's like the key was made for your lock!
made up video - YOU'RE VERY ILL...
please run to have your head examined.........
selfish little thing, aren't you? You confirmed what I've thought since I saw you posting as *nn*
I have the 60 GB iPod video and love it
and have tons of albums and videos on it. Some of my favorite ones are Matchbox 20, Third Eye Blind, Oasis, Coldplay, Goo Goo Dolls, The Fray, Dave Matthews, etc. I always take my iPod to the gym with me. I sometimes listen to my it in my car also since the stereo in my car has a plug in for iPods and other MP3 players, but I usually just listen to my XM satellite radio while on the road. I love their new Starbucks channel on the XM cafe.
It was beautiful video - thanks for sharing nm
