Try taking away something she likes!

I know it sounds harsh, but if you take away something she likes and not give her that until she finally is a "big girl", then she may want to go potty. The other thing, I know how gross this is, but include her in your "potty time", and she may realize "Wow, Mom is a big girl, and I want to be like Mom! It is a tough call, but my daughter went through the same thing. I always got the "I'm too busy!" So, I began asking her all of the time, and finally she went because she didn't want me to ask her especially in front of her brother. She was about 4 1/2! Good luck!

Your kitty has spunk. Likes hot sauce, likes squirt gun.
He really actually sounds fun, in spite of all the trouble he makes. Seems like perhaps it would be worth it to go to the dollar store or dollar general and perhaps get him his own tree?
My 15 yo son likes to
grab the car keys and start the car if we are headed somewhere while I'm still putting on my shoes/coat or whatever. Then when I'm walking around the front of the car to get in, he hits the horn, and of course I jump a mile becaue I'm usually deep in thought. He thinks it's hysterical. He's taken ten years off my life!
My son likes...
Pac Sun (sp?), we have one here in our local mall. We live in the midwest. Every time we go shopping, it seems to be the only place he wants to go. I also shop Kohl's, too, usually some really great sales.
There's another cat, but she LIKES it. Plus she
.
My 14 year old likes ...
The "Eragon" series by Christopher Paolini and the "Alex Rider" series by Anthony Horowitz. He picks one up and doesn't want to put them down until they are finished.
I'm glad someone else likes
Keanu besides me. Nobody I know understands why I find him so attractive. Don't know, something about him.
Why would anyone think the south only likes
country?? Ugh. I have lived here all my life and I cannot stand it. My tastes are more opera, beautiful love sounds, Gershwin. I could not tell you 1 name of a country song. Please do not group us all together. Folks just making assumptions - again.
Heehee- my cat likes to
eat one piece of cat food at a time. She will fish one piece out of the bowl with her paw onto the floor and then eat it, and then fish out another piece. Its quite facinating.
And it comes down to a lot more than what a person likes and does not s/m
like. We are talking being subjected to breathing those toxins which create a life-threatening environment. I hope I live long enough to not have to say NONSMOKING in a restaurant. It is unthinkable that we are subjected to this in 2007. I feel for you, I really do. 
Whether or not she likes him is a different story
I know sometimes more being more physical can mean that, but put it this way:
If a wife did that to her husband with a knife, would it be because she likes him?
No, but my psychiatrist likes that one. (sm)
Prozac wasn't good for me, and Wellbutrin sounded better to me. But my depression turned out to be more situational, so changing my situation seems to be the cure.
but that is her opinion too - obviously she likes them - nm

Since he likes people food and will eat that--sm
as opposed to some of the commercial cat foods out there, which in my opinion, are not all that beneficial either what with all the by products, etc. continue to give him the chicken and turkey. I would suggest the chicken raised without hormones and antibiotics though. He is a very smart kitty, preferring natural food (poultry) to that of what is forced upon us by the cat food producers, which have more grain than they do nourishing food. But that is just my opinion. good luck to you with your vacation for 3 weeks. Is the kitty going with you???
maybe husband just likes 'em
however, not my cuppa tea....
Our cat likes to lick anything with feathers and - sm
plastic bags (like the supermarket kind), guess is it some weird maternal instinct thing. Our lab will eat flowers on command, kids taught her to eat the dandilions in the yard, too weird.
You are most welcome! Glad kitty likes the nip!
Sometimes it works to keep them distracted, sometimes not...but we gotta try, right?!
I had leather furniture and at one point 3 cats...not a single one of them bothered with it but my fugly fabric recliner? SHREDDED. They seemed to take personal pleasure in getting their claws stuck in it and making it rock when they tried to unstick themselves. Tools. I miss that ugly chair too!
My dog likes wierd stuff too, but...
My dal loves bananas and her favorite treat is icecubes. She always comes running when you open the freezer door. You do have to be careful, because there are a lot of things that are toxic to dogs. I saw a list on line and I was really surprised by some of the stuff on there. I wish I had copied it or bookmarked it. If anyone has it, it would be helpful for dog owners if they could post it here. Some of the stuff on there were things I would not have a problem letting my dog eat.
Maybe that's his story. GF likes to roll around in

How your likes changed much over the years?
It depends on what age range, 15-20, 21-25, 26-30 etc... like every five years, in regards to anything.
I wouldn't worry - I think he just likes the scent. (sm)
At least you know that when you've taken the same bubble bath or used the same soap, that he like how you smell!
;)
I'm a "healthy gal" as a friend of mine likes to say
Just a bit over 200 pounds now, which I never thought would happen to me. I was always able to hover around 150 until I hit my mid 30s and then I just packed it on like a bear going into hybernation. I started WW in April and lost most of those 11 pounds right away. Then vacation came along and I just got out of the habit. I KNOW the program works. My grandmother did it in the 1970s and was lifetime member until the day she died. You just have to make up your mind it's time to get serious. I'm convinced no diet or lifestyle change will stick unless you're ready to commit 100%. I'm back on track again and hope to be in Onderland (below 200, as it is called on the WW chat boards) very quickly.
Good luck with whatever you decide to do. Like I said, it isn't easy.
my hubby always likes Best Buy gift cards,
that way he can get what music he wants, or concert DVDs, or whatever they have there (that's what everyone got him for Christmas and he was in "hog heaven").
That's a good one! EvaEv likes to correct
her own right!. Man, I would feel like a complete a** right about now!
Well, it kinda means she likes girls.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Hah! Someone had to make that joke, darn it. :-)
You know, when you have anything achieved, someone just likes to try and bust your bubble here
I went on originally saying about what my home owner's association does not accept, including clothes lines, animals roaming loose, vegetable gardens, etc. and I said I love it here. Immediately what returned was a statement about people looking down their nose at you implying that is what I do. Someone else making statement about rural living-my present home is very much that with woods close by and deer roam through my yard sometimes. I, like loads of other transcriptionists, work as loners and tend to be that way. I am no different and love my privacy here and that is what is afforded me. One of the homes I sold was in a big city and the other was lake front which was an inheritance. People seem to like to run down what others are able to achieve. I worked hard, very hard for most that I have had and it has taken years for me to be able to get to a point where I basically do not have to worry about every cent that I spend. I have always been free with my money trying to help out others and it has come back tenfold to me. I now rescue animals because of my love for them. I never was one to be jealous of others but apparently lots I run into on this forum don’t feel the same. Hope you can enjoy the rest of your coffee.
Likes to show off in front of the boys.

My mom, a southern born girl, likes her crumbled

he did say you can move and maybe he'll find a woman who likes his life.

Actually, no, I am not taking it now
Just heard back on the market in a new name and thought would tell what I experienced from trying it the first time. Hear only have 15% fat and after that it is throne time- if you can make it there.
anyone taking Yaz ........... sm
anyone taking Yas specifically to treat PMS symptoms??? my doctor gave me three months' worth of Yaz to see if it helps my symptoms. i haven't taken the pill in ages. when i used to take it, i got really bad migraines. i've been doing a little research, and found that people have side effects like nausea, anxiety, weight gain. i know side effects differ from person to person, but wondering what your experience was. i'm not a big pill taker.
thanks
Try taking
vitamin C 500 mg with the iron, it is supposed to help with the iron absorption and help with constipation and nausea as well.
On top of being anemic, I also have psoriasis, so I have my hair falling out (including pubic, lol) and constantly looks like I have extremely dry skin on my face, ears and scalp.
i'm taking it now.
But only for a month so far. I have high cholesterol but way worse triglycerides. I've had no side effects that i can contribute to it definitively; some muscle pain that i'm concerned about, but it could be a recent back injury worsening too...
what i DON'T like is that it is a statin. I understand that statins work really well to achieve the goal usually, but they also have bad side effects, including rhabdomyolysis. I've read a lot too on this class of drugs, and really didn't want to take them again, but for me, i'm at high risk for stroke or heart attack if i can't get my numbers down, so it is the lesser of evils i guess.
My educated opinion is this: if your cholesterol is NOT that high, and overall risk factors are not a real concern, i'd stay away from the drugs, statins in particular. If you do however take a statin, be sure to take the CoQ-10, which helps protect against the cell damage and effects of the statins. High cholesterol alone, in more recent studies, is not that indicative of a future problem. Lack of exercise and high-fat diets put one more at risk than cholesterol elevation. Like i said, without real necessity, i would not take a statin.
You are obviously set on taking
It's really sad...obviously you are not doing that bad, after all your child has a Wii...sounds very selfish to me, but hey...that's just me! Merry Christmas
I do not think that taking out ALL of the...
money from the joint accounts and putting it in one in only her name, as advised above, is acting defensively. You are entitled to your opinion and I to mine, but keep in mind that your children see how you act. That is all I am saying.
taking away
We had my son take verything out of his room, every nail out of the wall, put all his belongings in the garage, paint his room (which looked terrible by the way), and sleep on the floor until he surrendered his stubborness (about three nights on the floor). Then he had to put his room back together again.
This did not cure him, but it let him know that we were more stubborn than he was..
Good luck!
Anyone taking Pamelor?
Doctor started me on one 10 mg a night for sleep but last night woke up at 5 in the morning due to some pain I am having. She said I could go to 2 a night but my question to you is do I have to work the dosage up or do you think the 20 is too much for a second night of taking? Thanks.
I said never again for taking in animal because
right after I had surgery, a Springer Spaniel came to my door. Loving animals I took him in, put flyers out in the neighborhood trying to find owner, called the pound to see if anyone declared missing, put ad in the paper under found animals, nothing-all the calls I got wanted him, did not lose him. I interviewed and hoped I chose the best- he was high energy and me low. It breaks my heart to see strays, feel so sorry and carry dog food in the back of my vehicle to feed in case I come across 1-I have before.
No. Just the motorcade taking
her to jail was driving by a circus that was set up by the side of the road. It was a pretty funny site and Shep was having a field day.
I don't like taking pills either, but
it will be 3 years in Novemeber that I lost my mother suddenly. Within 2 weeks I had to take my daughter to the doctor (family practice with my mother's doc there) and he talked to me at length and suggested antidepressants to at least help get through the holidays. They truely did seem to make a difference. By March I stopped taking them. It does get easier as times goes by but the pain and the missing will always be there. I had such a strong support system with family and friends that I didn't feel the need for grief counseling but a friend of mine met one on one and in a group setting to help with her grief and it truely helped her. Praying for you.
Yep...taking something for that which helps a lot though (sm)
Trouble sleeping, etc. Mostly get a restless feeling during the day...bored, want to do something different, need to think about multiple things at once. Want to hear the TV and work and still daydreaming about other things at the same time!
OMG! I have been taking an "inventory" of my
DVDs and another funny movie I haven't watched in awhile is Airheads with Adam Sandler, Steve Buscemi, Brendan Fraser, and Chris Farley.
At least she's taking responsibility for it...
It's not the ideal situation, but I was having sex when I was 16, so I'm not going to judge her. It could have happened to me. Sadly, she will probably be a much better mom than her older sister! My dog would probably be a better mom than Britney though, so that's not saying much.
I was not married when I had either of my children, and people judged me but oh well. I am an excellent mother and a marriage certificate would not have made me a better mom. I have been married for awhile now, but we waited over 4 years to get married, and that is our choice. Gone are the days when people rushed off to get married because they were pregnant. Sex before marriage has been around since the beginning of time. We are just becoming more accepting of it now and don't demand people get married when they get pregnant. I am personally glad our children will know we didn't get married because we "had to" but because we loved each other so much that we wanted to.
taking a guess...
Witches of Eastwick?
(has a Nicholson-type of sarcasm)
Not taking up for her, but apparently being
mentally challenged, to her it was like when you see someone you know and popping them on the shoulder to say hi. Granted, she actually hit instead of a pop, but take into consideration her mental condition. She was not meaning to hurt you and I am glad it was only a bruise and nothing more serious. Hopefully, mgmt knew her and her family and will get in touch with them.
Anyone taking Wellbutrin?
I've been on Prozac for a while now but don't like the side effects. Does anyone have any experience with Wellbutrin, good or bad?
It's a stat and someone is taking
advantage of your kindheartedness. If your contract defines a stat as anything with ? hours or less TAT and you are asked to return these "regular" reports within the stat TAT, then you should be paid as stats. Just because they weren't stats originally, doesn't mean they can turn them into 1 for you and not pay you.
Perhaps, this will prompt them to reconsider some of their lazy employees/ICs.
I want to thank you for taking the time to
answer my question so thoroughly and giving me good advice.
I wished I had such an understanding landlord like you, but I will try to talk my LL into lowering my rent in these difficult times.
I know that now is the best time to buy a house, I'll look also into this.
Thanks!
so what r u taking her to court for?
You didn't cosign for the vehicle. You didn't loan her the $$ for her electric bill. You didn't want any profit from the business. The only thing I saw you mention was at the end about animal food, etc, but isn't that considered start-up costs of a business?
Sorry, don't mean to make you madder, just confused. 
Thanks for taking the time to research this!
Merry Christmas to you!
your referring to her not taking accountability and
learning from her actions in the past right? thats good. thank you.
i get real nervous when it comes to confrontation. anxiety.
taking matters into your own hands
This is a social problem that does not look like it's going to change any time soon. I had a similar experience when my daughter was in the 4th grade. She's in college now... not promising huh?
Anyhow, I ended up moving 150 miles to a good school district in an affordable neighborhood. Sounds like an oxymoron, but I researched and did what I had to do.
I moved again when I realized the high school she was districted for had a very bad record, not to mention it was almost 2 times overpopulated.
I know this is not an option for most people, but since it was just the 2 of us and I worked for a national, it was the only thing to do.
Both moves were of huge benefit to her intellectualy and emotionally.
If I were you, I would strongly consider home-schooling or moving. Most kids are taught to read in preschool or kindergarten, so I'm assuming your school district must be extremely lacking if they didn't address her reading problem then.
I would also suggest you try to make your voice heard by writing your congressman. This is a political issue that seems to be just danced around at the expense of our children and the future of our country.
But if nothing else, PLEASE spend at least an hour a day on her reading. Take her to the library or book store and let her pick out books she likes so the process won't be such a chore for either of you. Try to make it fun and encourage her.
Sorry for going on so long, but really, the best thing you can do is just do it yourself asap. You can't wait for the government/school system to change.
