and not be patted on the a$$ like a little girl....not heartless at all, but some women need to have it put out in front of them as it is, not sugar coated with a ribbon on it.

I love watching that woman's face, she is overcome. nm

Truth time- have you ever had a Chia pet or a Clapper?
Seems like every Christmas these are about the only commercials on.
I usually root for the woman, but not this time.
Good for Jon, finally. He has taken so much abuse from Kate (she admitted it too). She treated him like another 1 of the kids.
She seems to be the one benefitting most from the show. It's too bad she's willing to tear apart the family for the money. She keeps reiterating its all for the kids but I really don't think so. Maybe she's trying to get herself to believe it.
That dude was from another time, and he WASN'T a pregnant single woman.
sheesh
We seek for the truth, our own personal truth. SM
Not everyone is religious. ;)
in every joke is a little truth and the truth in
this 'joke'(?) is very sad.
Next time try a little harder.
I don't know, this post down below has me thinking. What are your thoughts, woman to woman. sm
If your spouse came to you and said he was having an affair, would you be more upset if it was with a male or female? For me, definitely a female! If it were male then I would think that it had absolutely nothing to do with me and everything to do with him. I would be devastated if he were with another woman. Another poster below said she would be more upset if he were found with a male. What about you?
woman to woman talk sm
This has nothing to do with being a christian, it has more to do with group dynamics. I have to deal with it all the time with 6 women in an in-law situation. They are narrow-minded Bible-thumping bigots.I happen to be of another "denomination" and I do attend every function of theirs, weddings, funerals, all of it, receive their communion. I have had my parents die, lost my younger sister and many things happen where they could have reciprocated, yet they will not "step foot" in my church. So where is all their faith, they certainly are not practicing the do unto others. I can relate, it is a horrible way to live. Thank God, I had psychology courses and know about group dynamics, I am in the middle of a herd mentality. I could go on forever, they even have "interventions" when someone in their family wants to marry or date someone not from their denomination. They are awful. I know your pain! It's not your imagination, they hide behind their cohesive "numbers game," one speaks and all the others agree in unison. No one has a chance against this mob. It's tough to be your own person, lots of tears. And guys think it's all in our heads - NOT! Hang in, perhaps you'll have a Divine Intervention somehow.
Kangaroo. cat woman or wonder woman?

Just tell her the truth -
That you do not feel what she does is worth $60 at this point and feel as if she is rushing you out of the chair. She may reconsider her pricing if you have been a loyal customer. That puts the ball in her court. Be ready to find someone else.
Ain't THAT the truth! LOL nm

It's the truth because God said it? sm
But how do you know God (or Jesus) said it? Everything He's supposed to have said has been *interpreted* by mankind, then *translated* from another language, to another language, etc., and influenced by the *politics,* leaders, and culture of the day... how many thousands of years ago? There are bound to be things lost in translation, misunderstood, misinterpreted (misquoted!).
I'm just saying, it's all been subject to man's interpretation of it (and still is to this day). It can't all be taken literally (though some people do which is incomprehensible to me).
I think in many ways the bible is a beautiful piece of literature, but I also think much of it is fiction.
You can count me among those who are spiritual but not religious (esp. organized religion, whoo boy!), and this is just one reason why.
Interesting topic.
now, isn't THAT the truth.....
Truth is ...
He is being really selfish, and if he ever found a woman who liked that lifestyle, he probably wouldn't like her all that much!
I have an ex-husband who turned our yard into a junk yard and spent his free time fixing other people's things while our place went to heck.
I know how you feel! Good luck.
Nothing else taken with this- a lie or truth?
and eat pecans frequently. I thought perhaps someone from New Orleans could perhaps use some kind of (now this really sounds odd) peppers added that I would normally not use in a pie such as this. This is a new housekeeper and she comes this Friday- I am gonna hate to have her ask how was the pie..Hubby believes in telling a little white lie- I am for telling her what happened to me. She has gone into a catering business. What to do - tell little white lie or the truth?
DEFINITELY tell the truth!
My gosh if this was definitely from the pie and I was the one baking/selling them I would want to know...potential lawsuits, etc. YUCK! Can't hurt to ask her what was in it that might have effected you that way...just maybe say you are worried about a nut allergy but wanted to be sure of all of the ingredients before you got tested for it. I see your point that you were wondering about the spice or something...makes sense now...maybe it was a different type of flour in the crust, who knows...I would definitely tell her so she can evaluate what she has done different at least in that pie.
The truth would be my way
husband is a milk toast type of guy and does not like to rock the boat so to speak. I had nothing else with the pie last evening and noticed I had a funny after taste, such as a, not really burning but strange, thought undertone if that applies in this case. Last night hunting the Benadryl thought if something like peppers they use in New Orleans and I was not used to them. I eat regular pecan pie and this was no where close to what I have had all these years.
Ain't that the truth!!!
If she's that mature, she should have tried the best birth control, which is not having sex at all!!!
Probably the truth is that if they don't
come around, they have a little peace. Every encounter with their mother is going to ruffle her feathers and freak her out. You are a cold, cold woman. Hopefully they are getting some acceptance from their in-laws, if you haven't screwed them up enough to wreck their marriages too.
How about you tell the person you are talking long distance to, "I'm sorry, my daughter is calling, I have to go." Where are your priorities?
i don't know how much truth there is to this
that we will have to claim that money from the rebate on our 2008 taxes; that if it was a REFUND, that would be different. anyone know anything about this? same thing happened with our property taxes "rebate"... have to claim that.... doesn't really shock me though
It is most always better to tell the truth
Especially if they are your friends. If they really are then they will understand, but if they find out you lied to them they will eventually loose all respect for you.
This is a lesson I've been trying to teach my daughter for years.....hasn't worked yet, but she doesn't have many friends either.
I think there is some truth to this
If a young man is very close to his mother, and he looks to her as an example for what women are like, then yes it is possible they look for a girl like Mom, especially if she is a good cook. However, my daughter told my son that the June Cleaver's, from Leave it To Beaver, are about gone, and the girls from this generation are very different. My son was used to my keeping my house clean, having meals at the dinner table at night, chauffering them to their activities, staying up at night and helping with school projects, working 2 jobs to make ends meet, and being a single parent, and I raised my sons and daughters to think that a job was not a dirty word and they needed to help out too.
It is funny though that the girl that my son married is similar in appearance to me, but she does not cook, nor does she clean, but she is a good mother and manager of their finances. My son said the other day that he longs for a home-cooked meal at anytime, and wishes I lived closer, although he has gotten to be a good cook.
Ain't that the truth....
There is no such thing as a cheap horse either, especially in California--what is hay running there now, anyway? Was pricey when I left 3 years ago, so I bet it is much higher now.
Boy, isn't that the truth.
I used to think people who made a point of organic this or that and organic cleaning products were a little kooky. Not so much any more. I built a greenhouse with money I inherited from my mom last year so I can grow my own food and not pay $15 a pound for organic anything at Whole Foods.
If we truly looked at the FDA "allowables" as to what is allowed in mass produced food, I think we'd all turn a little green.
Egg on his face as in him saying
that the YOUNG women were going to go in droves to vote for her as they did not want to take care of their own selves, either getting a husband to take care of them or else having government to do. I know older women voted that way, their choice but I said egg on his face for making such remarks on and on about how YOUNG women (under 35) were going in that direction. Has absolutely nothing to do with her leading- has everything to do with a statement completely false. Now are you still confused?
Egg on face
I personally know of at least 10 to 15 ladies that feel it is the man's place to take care of them and that is all they want out of life -- they are between 38 and 50. So now what do you say -- sorry I do not want this lady voted for because she is a woman, and I definitely do not want her leading us. But that is for the political board and not here. But egg on face -- you have some now.
Maybe take it for it's face value
and just accept it in the spirit in which it may be given. Only you know the relationship you have with her. She may have just gotten the proverbial bug up you know where and decided since she got a discount to use it. It may be an olive branch of some sort. Who knows. I'd take it as an olive branch unless and until she proves otherwise.
What Do You Have On Your Face?
I wear very natural looking make up - but today I was cracking up when getting read at how much crap is on my face.
After washing ::
Serum
Moisturizer (both things Dr Brandt)
Face Primer (either Smashbox or Sephora brand depending on mood)
Foundation (tarte with SPF 30)
Blush/Bronzer
Eyeliner (MAC)
Kohl (MAC)
Mascara (fiberwig)
No lipstick- allergies.
What is usually on your face???
Face
Usually nothing more than a little chapstick since I work from home. If I'm leaving the house, a little foundation but right now, nothing. I even forgot the chapstick this morning LOL.
Ain't that the truth, Sylvia?!?!?!!!!
Ain't that the truth! That ought to be regulated too :)

Just from experience and just the truth

When they ask, tell them the truth. There is a reason they are asking. nm

I think they are the ones posting truth about ESL &

You want the truth or a little white lie?
I ate 3 great big peppers and that is the truth. No one else here, hubs told me he does not like. I usually do not cook but decided I wanted some and got all my ingredients together and they were really, really good. Double burp....
I think there might be a nugget of truth there....
Or at least there's something reminiscent.
Not long after DH and I got married, he stood in the bedroom door and just laughed and laughed at me (but in a good way, you could hear the love). Turned out I was sitting up in bed, watching TV, reading and nibbling on a snack — just like his mother did.
(He also laughs at me and the girls when we remind him of my mother.)
maybe she is telling the truth
would you scare kids with that???? There are certain things that should not be discussed with children.
Wow - did you ever tell the truth in that post!! nm

When to tell your kids the truth ...
So, if you made mistakes in the past, do you tell your kids what you did and still tell them why they shouldn't?
I am inclined to tell my kids the truth about my past mistakes with drinking, sex, etc. I don't think I have a sordid past, but I could have made better decisions. I am not naive to think this might change the way my kids think about me, but if presented in the right context maybe I could pass my life experience on.
What do you think? Would you keep your bad decisions to yourself or let it all out?
If you find out the truth behind this, let me know
I bought a home years ago and found out after having lived there probably 20 something years someone died there and someone else murdered there, so I was told. I was not told anything at all prior to my buying. It seems like an unnecessary disclosure to a potential buyer anyway.
Thing Is, you are going to have to tell her the truth.
I know she is your mom and you really don't want to hurt her (and this will), but you are going to have to bite that bullet and be honest, and do it as soon as possible before she makes any more plans. No, this is not like her coming to your house. This is YOUR family's vacation. I am surprised she did not think of that, so you need to tell her with no beating around the bush. Then in the future, she will wait for an invitation before thinking your family wants to drag them along. It may make her think about a few other things too. This honestly is a hard thing to do but it will be healthy for your relationship in the future.
Face Creams
I was wondering if any one has any good suggestions for face creams. I use to use the Mary Kay face cream line, but I would like to try something else. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
face pain
Need to know if anyone else has face pain. It is under my eyes and on the side of my nose. Sometimes it is so bad I could scream. It feels like sinuses but CT scan was normal. Only goes away with ibuprofen. How long can I take ibuprofen for?
face pain
thanks
What a face! Sweet!
shingles on face
About 4 years ago, I had a mastoidectomy the middle of May. The middle of June, I came in exposure range with a child with chickenpox at Wal-Mart, and 2 weeks later I developed shingles. Could have been coincidence, but I figure stress related, and I, too, have hypothyroidism. No other testing was done, but it hurt so bad I couldn't even touch my hair let alone my head. I had it on right forehead, bridge of nose, and up through scalp.
By the way, something else that really helps with the healing process and pain of it all is Pantothenic acid capsules from the herbal store.
What a face! Love him!
I think we are blessed to share our lives with these animals, they love so unconditionally. My heart breaks when I hear about animal abuse.
What a wise looking face.
I'm sorry about your husband's death. You must both miss him very much.
Well maybe the body but NO WAY that face.
I'd rather be fat and pretty. LOL
She looks to have had a face lift that
did not go well. She has not appeared anywhere in 7 years so quite a different look than when I last saw her.
Keep your hands off your face
and be very gentle with the skin around your eyes and face. I see other people rub their eyes and faces vigorously when they're tired, and when the hands come down, I see wrinkles around the eyes. I'm 45 and people think I'm as young as 26. I do have the dark circles, which I have to cover with 16-hour foundation in a shade lighter than my regular foundation. Then I set with powder. I sometimes apply a dab of pink powder to the darkest areas or the inside corner area. This is what the makeup artist from What Not To Wear does to counter darkness. Preparation H is supposed to shrink bags.
