I sit through it just to sigh over
Mmm-ummmm that is one nice-looking man!
Sigh!
nm
....sigh....you mis-assumed what I said
what I said was....you could be doing something good INSTEAD of wasting a few hours, every single day, watching the same thing, every single day.
Sigh..How many of you actually love what you are doing right now sm
as far as your career goes? I used to love doing this and couldn't imagine doing anything else. Well over the past year I've had the opportunity to work part-time from home for a big Christian-based magazine and LOVE IT. I gather content, recruit freelance writers, meet amazing and wonderful people. It's a blessing, I get to work from home, but it doesn't pay the bills right now. So in between emails and phone calls with the magazine I have to MT. I wish I could quit! This opportunity has also allowed me to do a little writing and hopefully an Easter article I wrote will be included in of April 2008 issue. LOL
I've spoken with so many amazing Christian women who are so inspiring. If you've never heard of Proverbs 31 Ministry I suggest you check them out. They are such a blessing! I have my own website, too, like these women and hope to one day be speaking like they are. I guess this magazine opportunity is just a small step in the right direction.
In the meantime, I'm trying to decipher this horribly speaking ESL discharge summary and I want to just quit! I wish I could...
I remember. ~sigh~

I'm very heavy
I'm very heavy and I would NEVER expect any concessions because of my weight. I don't expect people to cater to me or excuse me. I'm overweight because I don't exercise and I eat crap. At least I used to. 2009 is my year of change and I have been working diligently on changing that.
I agree with the other posters who says if this woman doesn't like the way she's treated because of the way she looks, she needs to change it, not demand acceptance. Fat is the last bastion of that sort of thing. I hate all the politically correct stuff. Bottom line is if you're that heavy, you're unhealthy and you need to change things. And I, too, know just how hard that is.
oops - that should've said *sigh* nm

[Sigh....]..... don't you wish you owned the patent

If they're really heavy
You'll want to use a screw and screw anchor, or find a stud to put the nail in (no, no, a stud in the wall, not a good-looking guy to do it - well, hey, your choice!). They usually have holes in the back for hanging.
[sigh] -- "stood", not "stool", the latter sounds
Or White Shoulders or any of those very heavy

Along with other husband, used to be very heavy smoker
and as a smoker you don’t really know just how stinky the place, your clothes, everything is until you stop. I do not think you will be able to get smoke out of the furniture, walls etc until it is no longer around. I probably would try cat litter, vinegar and water in bowls around the house, airing the home out if you can and I have boiled water and added spices such as cinnamon sticks - sure beats the smoke smell.
Anyone ever been really heavy and have a healthy pregnancy? sm
Well I am at 325 and pregnant. Yes, I am tall but still that weight is very, very disgusting. I wonder how I got to this place. But I am so worried about my weight affecting the baby. The baby was nto planned - was a complete surprise. A welcome surprise though. But I never thought I would be able to get pregnant while being this heavy. I don't why I thought that but I truly did. I am just wondering if anyone has been really overweight and how it affected your pregnancy. The doctors don't really see any harm in it, or so they say, but I am still a bit worried. Thanks for all input. I am getting the Lap band after I have the baby. I want to be healthy for my family after this and it seems like a reasonable option. Thanks everyone. Have a great Thanksgiving!
Congratulations! My Mom was on the heavy side
You'll be fine! Have a happy and healthy pregnancy! All the best to you! 
My SIL was heavy and had two healthy babies.
With her last pregnancy, she started walking and eating better while she was pregnant. She weighed less at the end of her pregnancy than at the beginning. Baby was 7 lbs and healthy, too!
Sigh...No, I am near Atlanta, GA. I have tons of responses to "ship" her, but i just don't
I want to ship her to a stranger, although, YOU sound like the perfect fit for her. She adores our boys and treats them like she is their mother, but she needs a good, stable, loving environment right now. I have to take our son to the doctor again at 3:30 again for severe coughing and respiratory problems..
Must've been a small town, since nobody got shot. *sigh* NM

I get the most relief from...
Running a HOT, HOT bath and laying down in the water, belly down, and allow my nose to run and run. It really helps to clear it up...for a little while but after a few times of this, I'm better. Hope you feel better..
That's a relief! (nm)
.
well that is a relief
You made it sound like he could not get out of bed, so it is just you who has the problem. Maybe you need the counselor.
I need some heavy duty face cream...
…I have some areas on my face that are extremely dry, around my hair line, around my nose and I have used several creams trying to soften these areas up. Sometimes I even flake on my eyelids like I have sunburn and I use dandruff shampoo on my eyebrows because if not they will flake- no dandruff in the hair, though. I know this sounds awful but this is getting on my last nerve. I have put petroleum jelly on my face overnight- still dry in these patches. Does anyone else have something like this and if so any remedies? Thanks
My heart is heavy -I think my older cat is dying
It is hard to type or even see when your eyes are brimming with tears. I have had this girl since her mother first showed up at my door pregnant with her about 17 years ago. She is a purr girl and she has been sick, had a stroke which she recovered from but now a couple of months later feel like she is living on borrowed time. Not in pain but seems to be sorta stuporous, will respond when I call her name by looking at me. I have hand fed her water (ice water which she likes) and also she took very little in in the way of food. I called my daughter to see if she wanted to come by tonight after she gets off from work and she said absolutely. I hated to tell her at work but so afraid this ole girl is not going to make it much longer. She has trouble getting around so I am her legs now. If she needs to go to the bathroom, I will take her there also. I have her laying on 1 of my fav sweaters now in my work room, held her lots last night and today also. My heart hurts.
as I'm aging, I do not like HEAVY pots/pans
La Crueset was too heavy for me as is cast iron plus cast iron is bad for people with hepatitis problem(s) so I tend to stay away from cast iron (puts off iron in the food and hepatitis C feeds on iron) as I have a family member with this particular hepatitis.
My hands are also very bad after transcribing for 30+ years - so I tend to want nonaluminum lighter cookware which would be something like Farberware or Revereware if they still make the latter. *lol*
some relief for your baby...
Try hemorrhoid cream to the blisters...I swear it will significantly decrease the itching. My daughter was around 4 when she got the chicken pox and I put Preparation-H on her blisters and kept it on them and she barely noticed them. Please try this, it honestly will help! Good Luck...and BTW, sounds like the doctor isn't the only one that is a jerk!!!  ---to your "husband"...
A welcomed relief.....
My daughter is a teacher of 8 year old, most from low socioeconomic backgrounds She hears things she would never had thought children that age would know about. This subject has come up and like she said, if this is the worst thing that would happen in a day, it would be a blessing of a day. And, yes, she says the child does get embarrassed even though others may laugh...... so when does one decide whether it happened by accident or on purpose? I suppose this has never happened to you.
Sure hope you get relief! (nm)

What do you do for stress relief?
I am having a tough time blowing off steam lately and looking for some stress relief ideas...some for in the moment and some for just routine daily/weekly life stress.
I am pregnant so moods are crazy and I am just having difficulty letting go of even the smallest of things. Looking for some pointers, ideas, suggestions. 
My garden tub used to do the trick but now that I work until late at night and have a child home from school for the summer, it is difficult to find the time for that or mani/pedis which I also used to enjoy.
The relief has to be indescribable for all of them. What an ordeal.
It is such an amazing thing to have something like this turn out in the best way it possibly could. My heart breaks for all those families who will never have such an opportunity but takes joy in this, a very special day.
debt consolidation/relief
I'm seriously considering going with one of those debt relief companies to get myself out from under a mound of credit card debt. I feel like I'm drowning. Has anybody had any experience with these companies, good or bad?
good deal, oh the relief! nm
x
Before considering the CCCS or debt relief (sm)
places, first call the companies. If you haven't been charged off yet, most will work with you and have hardship programs. The accounts will likely be closed, but after 3-4 ontime payments they will "re-age" to show as current, will lower the interest rate so payments are lower and you will pay off over a 4-5 year period (in most cases, you can't use the cards as acct will be closed to further charges in exchange for drastic reduction in interest rate). Going with CCCS or similar, has the same effect as a BK, even worse, on your credit rating. The accounts will report as "closed, paying under debt management plan." While bankruptcy is an option I suppose, if you're a homeowner or have any assets, you'd have to file Chapt. 13 which will allow for some payback. I'd call the companies first and lay out your situation and see what they suggest. The credit industry is in a mess right now so they are willing to work with you if you're upfront and showing good faith.
Ah, that sounds like a relief. Thank you so much for that info! nm

Oh, what a relief. --sooo happy for you!.nm

Heavy gauge wire crates are a good choice.

credit card debt relief
Does anyone have any experience with those companies claiming to reduce debt by up to 70%, etc. ?? I'm drowning in debt. :(
Actually, it was a relief. Family spread all over the country,
shopping-for, standing-in-line, buying-the-gift, wrapping-the-gift, boxing-the-gift, driving-to-P.O., standing-in-line, mailing-the-box, etc., x 5 siblings, + 1 mother who needs & wants nothing, & myself, who has no storage, counter, or closet space for anything anyway, it was just getting to be a pointless rat-race. All of us enjoyed the holidays a lot more this year by just plain enjoying them, without the usual related stress involved. Our big day has always been Thanksgiving, when we do all try to get together at mom's.
Can any new Fermodyl 7 users comment on how it makes your hair feel? Greasy? Heavy? I don't use
s
Creams make me itch even more, what I have used is Aveeno skin relief body wash, not the packets
you dissolve in the water, but the actual wash that costs anywhere between $6-7 depending on where you live and was with that 2-3 times a day. You can try that too and see if it helps her any.
Thanks for the update. I'm sorry about
your brother and his family. What a shame. I'm glad Sasha had a good day. It must be really hard for you, because you probably want to pour your heart out to your brother about Misha, but you probably don't feel comfortable doing that with his loss, too. Well, I'll be thinking about you and sending up prayers, now for your whole family. I hope tomorrow is a better day, and so on, and so on.
Thanks for the update
Hi Stephanie. Glad to hear that your trip to the doctor was helpful. I know I really need to
get into the exercise too. Never was that big on exercise before, but now with the pain and fatigue, it is really hard to get motivated. I will just have to force myself. Yuck!!!
Update
I should add that I already get weekly massages and have for the last 4 years. My therapist has been advising me to try chiro for about 3 of those years. Of course, I waited until I really hurt before I went! I asked a friend of mine where she was going and she said that she really trusted him, so I decided to try where she goes. He took a detailed history and 2 x-rays. He also gave me a little adjustment, which has helped a little. It was just gentle pressure. I go back tomorrow to see about a treatment plan.
Thank you very much to everyone who offered suggestions of what to look for. Your back is really nothing to mess around with!
Update on dog from below sm
The poor thing died. I'm so heartsick. The police want an official statement from all of us who saw this morning (there were 4 of us). The owner said her dog was "poisoned." I'm going up to the station in a while to talk with the chief. I'll have more information later.
Update on my vet job
So I started out just cleaning nights and giving the animals fluids/meds on the weekends and cleaning more. One of the day girls fell down some stairs so the vet asked me to fill in for her. I got a crash course in doing anesthesia! I really like it but have had a couple animals stop breathing a few times and one his heart actually stopped. I almost peed my pants when that happened. I also got to do x-rays and an EKG on a dog Monday. If only this job paid better than transcription 
Update......
Well, I just checked my account again and the $2420 is back in the account due to non-sufficient funds. There is, however, a $34 non-sufficient funds fee that will be refunded back to me after the dispute is over. I know that in the big picture of things this does not sound like a lot of money, but it's my money I worked for and intend to get back. I also called the bank back and made sure that PayPal could not try to take out the money again since it was reversed due to NSF. After the dispute and we know more information, I can totally freeze PayPal from ever taking any money out of my account again. Right now it can only be done for the exact amount they tried to take out yesterday. I also told PayPal to take every bit of information they had on me out of their system, that I would never be needing their services again.
The scammers just didn't count on me being a poor working girl with little money left at the end of the month. Maybe they should give working a try instead of trying to steal other people's hard-earned money.
Thank you all for your replies. This just makes me all the more aware of what I am doing on-line. I have bought many items on-line, and this is the first time anything like this has happened to me. If they hadn't been so greedy, I probably would have had to wait out the whole ten days.
Thank you for the update sm
I started to ask yesterday but didn't send my post through because I thought it might be to painful. Please know that many here are thinking about you. Prayers.
Thanks for the update. That was
enjoyable to read.
Sounds like the birds appreciate each other already.
Yesterday I had a great time watching several cardinals bathing in my sprinkler. It is so hot that they stayed in the water for hours. My impatiens appreciated the extra-long shower they received because the cardinals were so cute. It's not my day to water today, but the cardinals show up now and then, hoping.
They ignore the shallow birdbath.
Thank you for the update
At least the police know about the situation. Maybe they can have a talk with the owners when they return.
If you know anyone who doesn't live in your neighborhood who would like to have a sheltie - you know, if it were me, I would give it to them. The neighbors have been gone so long, if the dog disappears one night, who is to say what happened, right? They don't deserve to have a dog if they are going to treat it this way.
JMHO 
thanks for update
Hi Trose,
Glad you called your brother and went to your doc today....ERs on the wknd are rough. Hope you get feeling better soon. Keep us all updated. Cat
Update...
First of all, thanks to everyone for their thoughts.
I went to the hospital myself and began asking questions of the charge nurse. She was very helpful and reviewed the chart and also got on the phone to the various doctors to answer my questions.
The problem is not what I thought it was. He WAS evaluated by a doctor and even had a CT scan in the first 30 minutes after he was admitted. None of the family knew this as no one had made it to the hospital at this point. Apparently, FIL just did not remember this. I guess the moral to this is do not let a patient out of your sight even for a short period of time.
He is being kept n.p.o. due to the head injury and in case they needed to operate (which by the way they are doing tomorrow to relieve compression on the spinal cord.) He was not given dextrose through his IV because of its potential to cause swelling, which is not a desired effect in a patient with a head injury. He did get food trays today, but will not receive anything else until after his surgery first thing in the morning.
Thanks again for everyone's recommendations.
An update...
Well, I had a heart to heart with my daughter yesterday. I broke down in tears and just told her how disappointed I was in her decision to become sexually active and how my heart was broken for her. She cried and said she didn't want to do it again, so I hope she was being honest with me. I found out more disturbing information on her loser boyfriend having to do with some legal trouble he's been in. We are giving her a chance to break up with him (she doesn't know that we know about the probation, arrests, etc.), but if she doesn't, we may press charges against him, just to get rid of the loser.
Backtracking a bit, our son works for the sheriff's department, along with a lot of his buddies, who did some checking on this guy, and dug up a laundry list of trouble he's been in. Our son is talking to our daughter today, telling her what he knows, and giving her til tonight to break it off completely with this guy, or he's telling her he'll file charges himself against this boy. He's already checked it all out and there are things we can get him on, but we really, REALLY don't want to go this route. It would be so hard on our daughter. I just want the boyfriend to disappear, go away, and leave her alone. So now, it's not so much about s-e-x anymore, but about her getting herself into some legal trouble by association with this idiot.
AND...his mother told my DD's best friend and my DD that she would LIE TO US about the whole situation if need be. How can a mother allow a girl to hang out with her loser, ex-con son??? It is beyond me...if it were my son, I'd tell the girl to run, not walk, away from him, he's nothing but trouble.
Anyway, thanks y'all so much for the support and advice. I think I handled it ok. I think she was shocked and surprised at how upset I was. I just admitted to her that I didn't expect this so soon, that I really didn't know how to handle it, and that I was disappointed in her actions, BUT that her father and I both love her very, very much and we will always be here for her, no matter what happens.
It was really emotional, but good I think for the both of us. Her 2 best friends came in in the middle of it all, and they too spilled their guts to her, so that helped also. We all cried and laughed, and talked. BTW, I don't mention her father much, but he's here...we're married and living together...all 3 of my kids have the same father. We've been married over 20 years now. He's mad, upset, disappointed, and just chomping at the bit to get his hands around this kid's throat, of course...that's how men handle things, right? But overall, he's been great.
Thanks again, y'all!
Thanks for the update...sm
Hi Deb,
I'll check in with his mom's web page to see what kinda hats he prefers (baseball caps, knit caps, perhaps something felt, really funky like they wear at ski resorts, doo rags or those little wrap caps with flames that bikers sport) and what states he's already gotten hats from....Don't want to duplicate or bore him.
