I'm hooked on Guitar Hero III! My husband kept telling me wanted to buy so we could try and I kept resisting. Well, it went on sale at K-Mart, so I gave in, and to my dismay...I'm hooked. I just turned 36 and I'm playing that darned game like I was a kid. My husband loves it and so does my daughter. Strange family activity, but hey, it works.

Ok, call me silly, now I do feel silly - sm
With so much tabloid stuff being talked about and this reporter trying to find out this or that from anyone and everyone, I though you were talking about us. India didn't even come into mind.
And I'm sorry but as much as I loved Michael Jackson and his music (even though he had his problems) I'm getting tired of the coverage. Yesterday for 4 hours solid all it was, was MJ, MJ, MJ, MJ....no other news. Nothing about Farah Fawcet either. Not even one mention of her in four hours. Just MJ. This is the same guy that all these reporters/journalists were trying to crucify for his "wrong doings", and now they are all acting as though they cared so much about him.
Admit it now!
You're your own best friend, aren't you!?! ROFL!
Admit it...pretty!

I know. .. I gotta admit It got the best of me and I HAD to SM
post that. The DEVIL made me do it!!! LOL! Thanks for appreciating my humor!
Hate to admit this
Depending on how much of a "snoop" you mean, I would be peeking in the medicine cabinet. I wouldn't go through desk drawers, filing cabinets, or dressers or anything like that, but I would, MIL or mother, have to peak in the medicine cabinet. I don't care about any of the other stuff, but there is something about that one mirrored closed door that makes me feel compelled to look.
Well, hate to admit but 2 things
I have a ring of something sticky (I had some good smelly stuff that left a ring) and then the smelly stuff spilled over and caused the paper to stick to the top of the entry table. I have been a messy person here lately.
Okay I admit it, I'm a resume dunce
I live in a small town and most of the jobs I have gotten have been because someone knew someone else and knew I was job hunting. The phone rang, I started working and even filling out an application was an after thought. Even with my MT job, the recruiter called me on recommendation from my instructor after I graduated. So, here's my question....what exactly goes in a cover letter? I'm guessing it highlights what is in my resume and goes into more detail, but not sure. TIA!
what did I miss - have to admit I felt
the whole season was a little boring and they have drawn out everything so long I watch another show in between actual dances- but last I heard they had put the engagement off until after the show - is there other news?
I must admit that I resorted to bribery...
with my youngest son, and it worked like a charm! He also would go #1 but not #2 for the longest time. First, I tried bribing/rewarding with stickers. Then I went all out and gave him a matchbox car every time he pooed in the potty! It was a bit expensive at first, but so were the diapers! I think it took a couple of weeks to a month. I also made a big deal every time he went and got very excited, and I think my excitement was contagious and made him want to do it more because it made him feel good about himself. I guess different things work for every child (my oldest son was no problem and potty trained super fast), but that's what worked for me with my stubborn little one.
ok, i have to admit, i lied in one of my posts down there
i didn't actually get pregnant with my third child so i could quit nursing school. it just worked out that way. i was actually in my last semester of school and my first trimester of the pregnancy. it wasn't going so good, so i had to quit. however, this having to quit school actually worked out in my favor. since i never finished, i didn't have to take the registered nurse exam, which i would have never passed because i really am a just not smart enough for that. The real reason i got pregnant is that i knew my sister-in-law was going to try to get pregnant with her second child in a certain month and certain year, so i decided to do the same. See, i am so whacked out that i wouldn't have been able to handle her getting all the attention. Even though it was my the 3rd child for me and i really didn't want to have anymore children, i had to do it. I just couldn't handle her being pregnant again any other way. Plus, I figured, besides if she didn't get pregnant and I did, then i could make her jealous because I would be having a baby in the month and year that she wanted to, because I am so jealous of her. She is smart & i'm not. She graduated from college, I am a college dropout. I'm shaped like a whale & she's not. Everyone thinks i'm bitchy but not her. So we both got pregnant that month and had our babies in the same month 9 months later. Also, I just wanted to add that I am married to a total moron. He is such a dork. I got him cause no one else wanted him.
Gotta admit -- I was a little worried
Not because I doubted their abilities, but because it seemed like in the first rotation or 2, they were showing some serious bias to the Chinese. Shawn Johnson's balance beam was way better than Ying Yilan's and yet her score was ranked higher (not talking about the difficulty value, just the execution score) Even the commentators last night were talking about it. Nastia's uneven bars got a lower score than it deserved as well. I'm glad to see the judges got their heads out of their you-know-whats for the last 2 rotations and gave these girls the scores they deserved.
I do feel somewhat bad for the Chinese girl, though. I hope she doesn't lose a few fingers or toes over this. Of course as young as she is, I'm sure she'd recover quickly. That's something else that seemed strange to me, the American girls seemed very emotional and yet the Chinese - nothing (at least not last nice). Could that be because our girls have a few more hormones running through them, like any normal 16-year-old would? Hmmmm
Ok ADMIT it....you cleaned this up before taking the pic!!
hahahhahahah. Dud!!
I hate to admit this, but Eminem, sm
his lyrics can be pretty heartbreaking. My daughter and I both sneak listening to him when hubby isn't around.
I must admit, this is the third night of not taking the Benadryl -SM
and my hair is already starting to feel better! It is not completely back to it's normal thickness and fullness, but it definitely feels a lot better than it did while taking the Benadryl daily! It doesn't feel nearly as thin and weak. It must have been the Benadryl all along! My hair feels so much better today!
Loooool...that was a good comeback, I must admit
OK, I must admit your dog is cute, but I'm still afraid of pitbulls.
NM
Music groups you are too embarrased to admit you like
Anyone out there love a musical group (or person) but are too embarrassed to admit it. You know, the kind that your friends make fun of but you secretly say to yourself, I love that music. - Mine are:
Village People
Glen Campbell (Wichita Lineman) - Excellent video on youtube
Bay City Rollers
And most all disco music (Bee Gees, Super Freak Rick James, Taste of Honey, KC Sunshine Band)
I must admit I started to type "Yawn" but really didn't
!
Admit it that YOU put yuor nephew's and your SIL's inheritance share into your POCKET.
It is me who 'got it' very clearly.
don't be silly....no you are not
You just don't have the same likes and dislikes. I grumble about my inlaws to my husband occasionally, but I am also very grateful. So many people just do not get along with family. I feel blessed and can live with an ugly outfit now and then :)
Boy, she sounds like a collecting fool =)
Okay silly, I am sure you can say
Moo goo gai pan!
That's silly.
They have a giant house (without a mortgage) and lots of room to roam in rural Arkansas. The world is plenty big enough for the Duggars. They are a self-sufficient family complete with a loving mom and dad - still married and in love. How often do you see that nowadays? I think it is extraordinary and beautiful. God bless them.
I'm in a silly mood so......here goes.....
CORN!!!
Silly mood....
CORN AND MASHED POTATOES...... HAHAHAHAHA LOL (Thanks for taking the time to make me smile this a.m.)!!!!!!! 
Very silly question - I know but have to ask (sm)
Did you cry when you knew divorce was looming, even though you knew it was for your own good? Did you have any doubts wondering if you really could have made a difference and "fixed" it? I am a "fixer". If something is wrong, I have to make it right. I feel like I can't fix this and it drives me crazy! To comply with what he wants me to do wouldn't fix it and wouldn't make me happy. And I have no control over how he feels, so I can't fix that either.
not a silly question at all....sm
Nope to all...I had a huge psychological background and while it took quite awhile to figure out he WAS (still is) a passive-aggressive - I know/knew far too much about those types of people and you try to *fix* for so long to NO AVAIL. I don't believe passive-aggressives want help and while some seek out help - many many many more do not.
I was saddened that this *idea* didn't work, of marriage - and my child was 9.....that was a huge concern....but I remembered something my mother said...may she R.I.P....said it was better to raise a child in a happy divorced home than a miserably married one. I tend to agree. My child adjusted rather rapidly I thought - only concern for child was *other kids in school* but child realized immediately (and very unfortunately that it is this way) that every other chair in the classroom was a child of divorce.
We did try therapy and I watched him lie to therapist and try to manipulate therapist...some of these types are very insecure and even feel threatened when you DO lose weight, due to their own insecurities. You sound young - I did it at 42 (divorced) and never looked back and push the child into *developing a relationship with the father* (we do live in same state, it's a good thing I think)
I hope this info helps.....I know that every time I broke up with a man, I regained my self-esteem and today I will not compromise that....ever_again!
best of luck :)
p.s. 5 years postdivorce, I lost and kept off to this day 50 pounds!!! Dumped the weight (him), then dumped my own weight and really like the person I've become all these decades :)
SILLY STRING
How does the silly string detect trip wires and why did she need approval and from whom did she need approval?? Both of my sons ages 26 and 20 are currently in Iraq with the U.S. Army (oldest one drives a tank and the youngest one is an Army Scout and goes out on missions driving a humvee looking for the enemy) I would be very interested to know the answer to this.
my silly typo
I said the doctor dictated "The patient was placed in a sling, no make that splint" and I typed "spling". Just thought it was silly and gave myself a chuckle, that's all.
I think fussing over a name is silly.
I grew up in a family where everyone had about five or six nicknames each. We answered to anything anyone called us. In fact, it was a great compliment to be "tagged" with a special name that was only used between two people. My dad called me "Abraham" all of my life. I have no idea why he'd call his only daughter Abraham. Never questioned him on it, but it was a special tag he and he alone had for me.
So, if your friend has changed his name, and for the past 10 years other people have called him by the new name, that's great. But between he and his family, his name is his name. They might even feel a bit rejected since he changed the name he was known by within his family. Their feelings are just as valid as his.
I don't understand the way the word "respect" is tossed around these days. His family does not "respect" his new name? Must people agree with everything another person does in order to respect him? Respect and agree are two different things. Maybe his family think that he does not respect them since he wanted to throw off the name he was known by in his family?
Was this gotten off some silly conservative

Silly gifts....
My hubby tries! He got me 2 pair of socks and a pair of slippers! He did not read the package the socks came in....They were for foot odor! Haha I won't let him live this one down for a while! He made up for that with an iPod docking station though! As far as food, I am sooooo stuffed I cannot eat another thing. I am still playing with my kids' toys. The toys out now are so much better than the ones we had growing up!
Maybe this sounds silly, but have you
tried leaving the TV on. MA parents dog got so addicted to animal planet she became a couch potato. She had a doggy door and used love to go outside but when the TV was on didn't seem to budge. She put on a lot of weight and the vets solution was turn off the TV. It worked.
CST vs EST HELP! silly question
If I have something to do at 2 PM CST, and I'm in EST, what time do I have to do it? I just can't seem to get the numbers straight....
My scarecrow ... and my silly dog story
This was so cute that I just had to share it. You really have to know this dog who we get a great laugh at because he is a genuine "klutz"! He actually falls over his own feet! I cleaned out the flower beds of things that were done for the season, put up my fall decorator flags, and all that stuff, and in the midst I put up my little scarecrow that you can find at the local Dollar General stores. Sunday morning right after I got up, I heard dogs barking. We live in a very rural area and no leash laws here. Our road is a dead end so it is not heavily traveled. I looked out the front window and saw the usual collection of neighborhood dogs but they weren't barking. I went to the front door -- and there was Mr. Whiskers (our "klutzy" dog)-- barking at the scarecrow and simply petrified of the thing. Another great laugh from this dog. He is always doing something to amuse us -- except when he insists on getting the paper out of the box every single time it comes - then GRRRRR!!!!!
How do silly rumors get started? sm
To make a sort of long story short...I picked my daughter up from school yesterday right before her last class of the day. She had no idea I was picking her up early. (she missed school earlier in the week due to strep and had to work last night so I wanted to give her a little extra time to get her make-up work done. She has art 7th so I knew that would not be anything major to miss. Anyway, I saw one of my son's friends while I was waiting for my daughter. We didn't get to speak cause they were changing classes and she was in the middle of a group of kids. After school during play rehearsal she told my son that she saw me and told him I had to get my daughter early becuase she had cut her hand. Another friend then chimed in that it was bleeding really bad. They were totally serious. These are good girls and I don't think they thought they were lying or just making a joke. They really believed this. I have no idea where they got their info and there is absolutely no truth to it what-so-ever. Honestly I think this is funny. I am not upset at all...just wondering how rumors get started and how they grow and grow and grow.
Never watched it in the first place because it just seemed silly.
Now that I hear about it, I'm glad I never wasted my time on it or any of the other celebrity and/or talent type shows. I've been on a long hiatus from t.v. watching. I'm just waiting for Lost to return this winter.
You know I know that sounds silly to a lot of us women (sm)
but the majority of men would at least have that cross their mind when paddling a teenage girl who is not related to them - seriously. And someone in authority who wants to paddle students - I think that's just scary. A few years ago I would have disagreed but it is reality.
My 8-year-old still sings and does silly
things when he is alone. I love listening to him, it warms my heart. My 13 and 12-year-old are past that stage so I am definitely hanging onto this!! He still likes it when I wash his toes for him and does "this little piggy", or "this little snowflake," depending on the season!!! He still comes up to me and hugs me and says I love you mom. Yea . . . hang onto that and never forget those sounds.
Just a silly story about canning
When my brother and I were growing up we did not have a meal at home without applesauce. (He and I are both still a little that way) My mother decided to make homemade applesacue and can it to save money. Well canned applesauce certainly doesn't taste like White House. We hated it but we learned to love it. When we ate it all we begged for more but my mom hated the process of making it and canning it so much she refused to make anymore. When then had to go back to White House and it took forever before we learned to like it again. LOL!
No it isn't silly to miss your dogs so much...sm
I would be lost without my babies.
I meant the indians, silly nm

not dumb, stuff happens, silly dilly *lol*
You silly bunny, oh course you can't make fish
its already made. Ha, ha!! I just had to do that after all these threads that have gone on and on and on. We will next be handing out boxing gloves.
You are probably right, and all the silly girls are voting for Blake...
who by the way is no prize, lol. Raise the bar girls! He's a short little creep. Looks like a young Sean Penn, sort of, with that homely face. lol Can you tell I don't like him at all? lol
News about silly string to soldiers
in Iraq. A NJ mom has gotten the approval to send silly string to troops that would help detect hidden trip wires that they cannot see otherwise. Who would have thunk it.
I was the originally poster about silly string
what I can remember from the news report was that the silly string is an aerosol can and she was not able to ship it out, but finally someone offered to to help her ship it. I am sure it will be on the news as this just happened within the past few days.
Silly Girl shouldn't have to treat her
husband like a dog or a child. After all, she is his wife, not his mother. If she wants a pet, she can go to the animal shelter and get a dog. She married a man and he needs to act like one. It sounds like she gives and gives, and he takes. I think Silly Girl should start taking care of herself for a change.
Now, that's just silly. Those are types of animals that can be harmful. Big difference.

I guess by the time anyone reads this, they'll be up! Silly question! nm
