Short answer: Yes, it's VERY rude. Long answer inside.
I wouldn't want my husband to ask, either. In fact, if he did and the people said yes, I still wouldn't go and stay with them, because I'd feel like they were pressured. Believe me, if they wanted you to come and stay with them at any point in the last 10 years, they'd have asked you. I, too, live near a vacation destination, and I hate it when people ask to stay with me. They're the rude ones for asking, but it puts me in an uncomfortable position of trying to politely say no. And it seems that when I do say no, the thwarted "guest" then complains to everyone else in our social circle that we are cheap, mean and unwelcoming.
Tell your husband to crack open the wallet and pay for a hotel.

Survey

How many of you get up and get dressed like a normal job? 


I am in a rut.  I crawl out of bed about 15 minutes before work every morning.  Enough time to make breakfast basically.  I work a split shift so after 4 hours I'm done, take my shower, etc.  Just wondering if this is the normal routine an MT falls in.


Vet survey
How much do you pay to take your dog in to get their shots?  Do you buy heart worm medicine from them or a mail order company?
time for another survey
Are you superstitious and if so about what?
quick, someone! we need a new survey or
   fill in the blanks list to have fun with !!!  Anybody?    I so bored.
Tattoo Survey!
Where do you have your tattoo and how big is it?  I have decided after many years of wanting a tattoo that this summer for my 40th, I am going to finally treat myself!  Husband and I are having a difference of opinion though on where I should have it (I'm thinking lower back or back of shoulder - he says he doesn't like those and thinks it should be my hip)...
A survey. See inside
Just wondering - those of you who have 16/17 year old children, what are your rules on going out during the week, other than sports or work. I let my teen go out "socially" on Friday and Saturday night. During the week I feel should be dedicated to school and her part-time job and I'm okay with maybe going for coffee in the afternoon if there is time, or maybe even dinner, but not all the time and don't feel she should be out at night. Especially now that days are shorter and we're headed towards winter.

Just wondering how everyone else does it with their teens.
Survey: Where do you set your thermostat? Here is why I ask...
I keep my house at 70, but I am looking at what is "usual and normal" because I think I am off here. Looking for opinions...

I am so cold all the time. I am fine if I am up cleaning the house or out shopping and walking, moving in some way. You know, we sit all the time and work, which is when I am having my problem. I sit at my desk in long underwear, sweats and 2 pair of socks. I often tie scarves or an old flannel receiving blanket on my head (okay, I am short on stuff and this works) to keep the heat in my body. I have a space heater by my feet. I drink hot tea or coffee all day long. I am STILL cold!!!!

I keep my thermostat at 70. I have a mobile home, but it has extra insulation and keeping it at 70, my highest gas bill for heat was only $100 last year. I feel badly that I keep it that high, but perhaps I am not thinking this through. You don't use a setback thermostat with a mobile home because you risk freezing your pipes, and it has an odd way of holding heat anyway.

Rant about survey takers. sm

My electric bill is sky high, so I called the electric company to obtain a free survey and to ask questions to help lower the bill.  A nice gentleman came to my home and offered good advice.


Today, I received a phone call asking about my experience with their service. I was happy with the service and told them that, however, it was a survey taker and every minute portion of my experience from requesting this service to practically what the guy was wearing was asked of me.  I was on the phone for ten minutes, asking when this survey would end, and she said a few more questions, until it was 15 minutes and I hung up on her.  I told her several times I was working and could not speak for long.  I just needed to rant.



I don't meet the survey target , but
my two boys had a 10:00 p.m. curfew on school nights when they were 16. Curfew was 11:00 on weekends, unless something special was happening. I was told I was absolutely barbaric for setting such early times. My kids didn't tell me that. Other parents did. Not that I cared, mind you.

Each son proved himself to be trustworthy and responsible, and so the day they turned 18, all curfews were lifted. I only asked as a matter of courtesy that they tell me where they were going and give me an approximate time to expect them home so that I knew when to officially start worrying. They didn't have to tell me, but I asked them to tell me, which they did. In fact, for the first week or so after they turned 18 they'd ask me for permission to do something or go somewhere, and I'd reply, "Why are you asking me? You're an adult!" LOL!

They are 18 and 20 now, and doing just fine. The 18 year-old is commuting to a university in our city. He refers to us as his college roommates.
anonymous herpes survey - sm

How common do you think it is?  I think it is very, very common.  Statistics show it affects about 1 in 3 people.  Do you know anyone who has it? (self included?)


I know a few people who have it.

Okay, Christmas is next week.  Our guys....they burp, they change the channels on the TV faster than we can figure out what is on, and other too numerous to count obnoxious guy behaviors, but what is good about them?  What do we love about them? 


As for me...in my darkest hour, he was my friend.


Merry Christmas!

survey on sixteen year old girl curfews - sm
Just taking a survey from all you parents of 16 yo girls out there...what is your curfew for your teen? Do you let her go out during the school week? If so, how often and what time does she need to be back? What about Friday and Saturday nights? Thanks for participating.
Wish I had the answer...
up at 2:45 a.m. to get DH off to work, then type from 3:00 am to 5:00 am, then back to sleep till 8:00 am. That's when my 2 yo grandson comes for the day... back to typing at 7:00 p.m. and hopefully done by 10:00 or 11:00 pm. Then off to bed... Try to eat healthy, get some exercise... but at night I do need a shot of caffeine to keep going.. also need to take frequent breaks just to move around to stay away... I used to think that I need more hours in the day.. but then I think I would just end up doing more and more and still not getting sleep... Oh well, only two more years until my DIL is done with nursing school... I hope I can hold out until then.
YOU KNOW THE ANSWER.....you
nm
I like your answer,
makes sense to me.....
Ok, perhaps an answer
In the Bahamas being as Stern signed the birth certificate, it automatically makes him the father. Now with that said and the Bahamas saying the baby is automatically a citizen there (and being born there is not considered a United States citizen)there is going to be some legal wheeling and dealing going on to ever have them do a DNA. The United States does not govern making anyone have the DNA being as the baby born in another country. Any clearer?
My answer is
no and no- just got more sense than to drink or do drugs and do not fool with anyone who would, not even a child.......
Well...I will answer
I am about 50/50... Thought I would lighten everyone's day but there are some people out there who need Midol, I see
Right Answer!!!
//
you already know your answer
just repeat yourself, like she does....I don't have money for that right now, I'm busy with my job. If you give her an inch she's gonna take a mile, you know. She's rude to ask you for exact weight, by the way, good for you not telling Miss Nosy.
And the answer now is
no because I understand about birth defects, nonviability of a fetus, complications of a preemie if they live, etc. so the answer is no, and I got pregnant soon thereafter and had a normal girl some months later.
Well, if she can answer that, then maybe she can tell me
why I have gotten some spots on this brand new $16.00 per tile floor I had installed. I have the tile man who installed coming over tomorrow. I put throughout my grandroom and I asked the other day if I should have sealed it, was told no but I doubt very seriously I would get any kind of satisfaction from where I bought it. Lots of money and now little spots here and there?? Probably not noticable to others but to me and hey, I live here.
Answer
Yes I went to see them and no I did not like, would not go back again. Each contestant performed 1 or 2 times and I thought maybe they would have group as a whole doing several songs, not so. Waste of my time and my money and just think, that was about 2 or 3 years ago and when the contentants were the best, not like this year and you cannot remember most of them on stage.
her answer
I think if you were to ask her and she could respond, she would tell you she had a BIG problem with it!
Thank you for that answer...I like that! (nm)

I LIKE your answer.... now... maybe this is
thinking outside the box... hey there's T-shirts to be made in this line of thinking... I am starting to feel better already, he he. :)
I will answer you as you seem to want to know
I have been in the same place before as the others, struggling, working as many jobs as I could so I know. My father used to fuss at me because I never saved- how could I raising a family? Finally when I got the first money from the skies??, I then decided to make it count. I did not squander, instead paid bills and put back some. I was fortunate in paying myself completely out of debt and I don't owe anything BUT I have to be careful like the next person, I love to spend and have to practice self control because credit cards can get away from me also if I don't watch it. I did have money in stock market before, lost a lot every single month and when my family member gave me lots, kept asking have you paid your bills and stipulation was I COULD NOT BUY IN STOCK MARKET. I gave my word, put money in CDs, find the best interest I can find and if necessary change them from one bank to another if I find a better rate. I am very, very cheap when it comes to buying for myself but I love to do for others. I never meant the post to sound like others took it, people were talking about paying on principal and luckily last year able to do. I will owe big time this year on my taxes- know that already BUT I have set aside enough to pay that PLUS I have extra when the taxes are paid- then again I pay more on the principal for my home. I am very lucky- just sitting here tonight figuring up how much I owe a month for IC taxes- starting in April I get $500.00+ from a retirement fund- that is taxed- but get this- I will use that money and then put another $250.00 with it and I will have my money for my taxes for the month. Like I said I am very rich in love and happiness and to me that is the most important thing in life- have not always had that either. Grateful for what I do have.
Isn't that their answer to

Thanks for the answer sm

After asking the question, I decided to research a little and it sounds like cable is liked more by people.  I'm just happy we'll have something other than dial up!

You already know the answer....
This is only my opinion but I think you would be much happier on your own. Why stay with a person when there is nothing left and make yourself so unhappy?

One thing I need to say is that he may not have touched you in four years and hopefully if you stay, he will never touch you again but I thought the same thing...I ended up in the hospital with six broken ribs and complications. I would never trust someone who can lay a hand on another again.

Good luck!!

You won't like my answer ... SM
I would wear both of them out until they could sit down.

The 11-year-old for engaging it (I bet it started there with taunting and teasing) and the 8-year-old for his role, too.

I've raised boys. Been there. Done that. It will work.


You may not like my answer, but I think

stuff starts about this age group.  You are right though in that when it is a girl doing "the harm" it is a totally different story.  My son is now 14 and went through this with a girl, but I think she really liked him and this is what caused her to pay attention, yet in kids, they kind of think this kind of attention (although it did physically hurt your son) is okay.  I wouldn't actually say the girl has special needs. 


It hurts us when our kids are hurt, but if I were you, I'd let it blow over because the kids have probably forgotten about it already anyway.  I don't know if this helps, but I do hear you and I have been there. 


I hope you can learn to forgive (as a Catholic) this little girl for this deed she has done; don't we all deserve a second chance? 


ooh, ooh, I know the answer to this one
because we are superior!!!!

I am guessing it was via an online purchase, which I only do from secure sites.  I have been shopping online for over 10 years and have never had a problem until recently.  I would encourage everyone to check their cc statements very closely because when I talked to the fraud dept at Bank of America she said they can hardly keep up right now with all the new cases of cc theft. 
Here is the answer.
Not political but pasting it from politics board. Read it few days back.

Subject: Stimulus Payment Info.

"This year, taxpayers will receive an Economic Stimulus Payment. This is a very exciting new program that I will explain using the Q and A format:

Q. What is an Economic Stimulus Payment?
A. It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers.

Q. Where will the government get this money?
A. From taxpayers.

Q. So the government is giving me back my own money?
A. Only a smidgen.

Q. What is the purpose of this payment?
A. The plan is that you will use the money to purchase a high-definition TV set, thus stimulating the economy.

Q. But isn't that stimulating the economy of China ?
A. Shut up.

Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the US economy by spending your stimulus check wisely:

If you spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China.

If you spend it on gasoline it will go to the Arabs.

If you purchase a computer it will go to India.

If you purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico , Honduras , and Guatemala (unless you buy organic).

If you buy a car it will go to Japan.

If you purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan.

And none of it will help the American economy.

We need to keep that money here in America . You can keep the money in America by spending it at yard sales, going to a baseball game, or spend it on prostitutes, beer and wine (domestic ONLY), or tattoos, since those are the only businesses still in the US.

answer

I do not watch the show either but I saw her on Dr. Phil once.  She could not have get pregnant so she use in vitro and had twins.   She wanted one more child and figured the most she probaby would have is two more but was suprised when she found out she was having six.  That is why I think she was given a reality show because she really did not expect the outcome. She said for one year she had about 15 minutes a day to herself.  


I really don't know the answer for you.
I can only tell you that I am a recovering alcoholic and have been sober since 1982.  I lost my marriage, too.  If your husband is doing this for any reason other than for himself or just to get you back, it won't work.  He has to want to stay sober more than anything else in the world, and that must be his first priority.  He has to want it for himself.  My daughter went to treatment for addiction about five years after I did.  My son and I went to family week at the center before she came home.  They told us that we didn't cause it, and we couldn't cure it.  Your husband is the only one who can keep himself sober.  I went to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings for ten years.  I hope that he finds out while he is there what he needs to do to stay sober.  I hope things work out for you.
And my answer to this is
why did not he or say relative or friend speak up PRIOR to the head shaving. Seems like someone with a bit of sense would not that was not right. As soon as the buzzer had started towards my head I would have said something.
Just don't answer the door.
