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.

Obvioulsy I don't have such great memories of those years, but I think a lot of it depended on where you lived.  Small town costal Oregon at that time was horrible.  They had shut down most of the logging, the mills, fishing, etc.  I believe that the west coast was harder hit than the rest of the country from what I've read. 

We survived and we will survive today as well - we'll never be able to retire, but we'll survive! 

Now the 60's I remember fondly, although I was a little young to be involved in all the strife going on at the time.  The 70's were decent.  For my family the 90s were the best.  Oh heck, I think I was really meant to have been born about 1400 or something.  LOL

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.

My son was in a pinewood derby race at church.  There is so much for kids to learn about the car design, ect.

Here is my rant. Why don't they have rules about what the fathers can/can't help with! The cars that the father's obviously did won first place for every single grade. It was ridiculous I've never seen so many 8-year-old boys in tears. I think these men are sick that winning against a kid gets them off.

Except for sawing the car and nailing the axels it should be hands off for the dad! It was so obvious between a car that a man designed/traced and painted vs. a kid. They even had an adult category the men could have entered into.

Has anyone experienced this?

mine is currently in arrears in the amount of $23,775 --- he inherited MILLIONS when his father died -- he refuses to work, he's never paid me a dime.... my case worker is attempting to put a lien on his $1/2-million home in Vegas..  Blessed with this child, but sure would like some support, maybe not have to work two jobs...

I'm so glad you're all here for ranting.... thanks, friends.

I have been going to the same dental office (father and daughter dentists),  for over ten years.   It is a private office, not a clinic.  I have Delta Dental PPO. 

There has never been a problem.  I get my teeth cleaned every three months.  I get x-rays taken twice a year and the dentist checks my teeth after each cleaning. Sounds good, right?

So at my last cleaning in January, I was told my teeth were in terrible shape and I needed five crowns placed.  I then was subjected to a very hard sales pitch for these crowns, accompanied by gory videos of rotten teeth, with statements like "these could be YOUR teeth".   They also went on to say that insurance will not cover this and I will have to pay out of pocket.  The conservative price was $5000.

Well, I decided to have three crowns done. I paid $1000, (my tax refund), insurance did pay $1000 and I just paid another $600 out of pocket.

I have lost complete faith in this office.  Why would I go there every three months, only to be told I need work that someone would need if they hadn't seen a dentist in 10 or more years?

Was I taken? I have no faith in them at all now.     

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

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.

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!!

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.

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.
