How about some happy good news
Anybody got any? Seems like lately there has been page after page of bad news, news stories and more. Now please don't think I'm knocking anyone for posting them but I really really need a pick me up today and I think a lot more are needing it too.
Sooooo that being said....does anyone have any good news to share? Anyone preggers, expectant grandparents, bought a new outfit, shoes, jewelry?
I am SO happy to hear the good news - sm
Have you tried offering her the AD food you get from your vet mixed with Pedialite? Very high in nutrition. I also like to offer them the meat baby foods and small pieces of ham or whatever else they like. Cherish every day with her. Love her. Put her needs before your own no matter what. I think you will know when it is time to let her go. Focus on the joy she has brought you over her lifetime. I will be thinking about the two of you. :-)
See, I knew if I posted after the noon news it would be different after the evening news! LOL nm

Doesn't offend me to hear Happy Holidays, Happy Hannuka...sm
or any way someone wants to greet me. As a basic rule, people use the greeting most comfortable to the speaker. What does burn my butt is when someone tries to tell me that my comfortable greeting of "Merry Christmas" is not appropriate. To those who are not concerned with my comfort, I have no concern for theirs.
Merry Christmas to all.
georgia
I lived in GA for 1 year last year but didn't have quite that bad weather. I know the lightening can be pretty intense. I hope it misses you. I say a prayer :)
As far as I know, Georgia
is still considered southern. My hubby born and raised in Georgia also. Let me know if I am wrong here.
Unfortunately, here in Georgia, it is
my understanding that there is not any law stating at which age a child may be left home alone. When I called DFACS several years ago regarding this, I was told the above and that DFACS has guidelines that they use (which were ridiculous -- I believe it was 8 years old okay to stay by themselves and maybe a couple of years older to be left in charge of a sibling/younger child). I believe this was about 6 years ago.
Anyway, because these are DFACS guidelines only and are not the law, there is no way to enforce this and unless a tragedy occurs there is no punishment.
Yep here too...Georgia
Same as Georgia, still does not mean
the mothers have to accept crumbs. I hope they get some good lawyers but even just the threats of what can be taken away wakes guys up sometimes.
GEORGIA!!!
I would move to Alabama, because of the no work tax, but in most places sales tax is 10%.
Birthday wish to justme2....Happy B-day to you, happy B-day to you. now make your wish...
I wanted to wish you a very Happy B-Day...I am aging so tomorrw I may forget or at least remember at midnight...LOL...to all you celebrating B-Days this month, Congrats
Here in middle Georgia, we are just
happy not to have the 100s. Reasonable now at 76 today. Gosh, fall… oh, yes, that is when the leaves all fall.
I don't think it is a requirement in Georgia -
However, my concern is that this is an effective preventative measure and people are not getting it for their daughters. You do not have to be promiscious to get it and believe me it causes lots of problems later.
I only had sex with one man - my husband - before being diagnosed with HPV - and he had only had sex with one other person.
I now have constant female problems and the doctor says it is because of the HPV. My paps come back bad and I have to have the LEEP procedures done routinely, or have biopsies done, I have to have paps every 3 months instead of yearly. I have constant bacterial infections and vaginitis.
Goodness knows, I wish I had had the option of having a vaccine to prevent this stuff before I became sexually active with my husband.
Georgia has a no public smoking law...sm
and it's great going to restaurants, stores, etc without smelling cigarettes. Restaurants can only allow smokers if they don't admit anyone under age 18 and they have to have a ventilation system that meets a certain strict criteria with the state.
Look up sometime about Alday family in Georgia
Everyone in the town knew each other, church going, great little town, safe, so everyone thought. The family slaughtered - oh not by one of their own - by outsider. Farm family. Raped the wife (who was daughter, DIL of the others, all related) and killed oh, I think 6 or 7 in the family. Got in because all the doors unlocked. This was not this year nor the last 10- more like 20 years or so ago. I remember as such a savage thing. They did live in a nice little town where everyone knew everyone.
LOL! If you don't like the weather in Georgia, just hang around SM
a while and it will change soon!
Assisted suicide here in Georgia
A man here in Georgia went a website called Final Exit as he had decided to end his life, had been suffering with cancer of the head, mouth, etc. Now the people who helped him have been arrested for participating. Apparently they use helium and the person or else the people around him then use a bag over his head and from what I am hearing they hold his hands because once he makes his decision and says yes, no turning back. There are some states that allow assisted suicide, Montana and Washington being a couple of them. What I want to know, I type and you probably have also of people at end of life being given morphine in the hospital to "make them comfortable" when actually all it does is speed up their demise by slowing down respiration, etc. I guess the medical profession is able to do their own "Final Exit" scenes but no one else?
Living in Georgia and loving it
Never have felt the need to move because I got frustrated, never. Moved from another state over 30 years ago and love where I live. I really hate when I see an overall blanket statement about a state being backwards. I find myself going on the offense when a person attacks a state in general when they perhaps are unhappy just for the person they are. I am sure a person can find fault with any place they might be brought up or choose to live but my community is very progressive, upscale and as much as I love to travel, hope this can be my home from here on. People make their own happiness and if you are unhappy either in your personal or business life, then perhaps you are just soured on the world, not where you live. If a person wants to move from my state, hey, just more room for the people who can enjoy their life here.
Georgia schools also socially pass....sm
I had a prior foster child that came to me in the 5th grade that tested to be on the 1st grade reading level and 2nd grade math level. Her prior schools for the past 2 years that she was in foster care before moving to me had report cards for her with A's and B's all over the place. The school here refused to hold her back because she was held back on the 1st grade due to poor attendance while living with her birth parents, even though emotionally she was 8 in a 12-year-old body.
Fortunately for this child while she was living with me we figured out her educational deficits and that she had learning disabilities. We moved her to a specialized group home that has worked with her extensively and she's now in 8th grade and back in mainstream classes. She's making C's and earning them - not having them given to her. I shudder to think what would have happened to her if she hadn't come to my home to figure out she had more problems than the system realized and helped her get the help she needed - she probably would have ended up as a statistic. She still is emotionally behind her peers but hopefully one day will catch up on that aspect. Oh yes, she also went to summer school here and that was 2 weeks - what a joke. All they did was play games half the day outside and did just a little work on reading and math.
Any Habersham County, Georgia residents out there? sm
if so please e-mail me. We're considering moving there and I'd love to meet someone in that area. Thanks!
Some Georgia schools have dress codes...sm
and they work with school uniform vendors to provide them really cheaply, around $7-8 for each shirt and each pair of pants or shirt.
My daughter goes to a school with a dress code and it's nice not having the "what is OK to wear to school" discussions in the morning. It also eliminates kids who come from poor families feeling inferior to other kids over their clothes.
Georgia, 30 miles south of Atlanta
lots do here, just where you live I suppose. I for 1 am glad to take hubs last name, no problem with that for me.
In Georgia, we receive permission slips also.
I don't think they should have to check every child's record before administering any MEDICAL testing, but I definitely think permission slips are in order.
Live in Georgia and highly support it
If this had been the case with octomom the people would never have to support her litter.
Happy Bikrthday to me, happy birthday
Unbelievable, I have reached the age of 65- where did the years go?? I would retire but gosh, darn just love this work so much, want to keep on working. Hubs had me a delicious huge chocolate cake this morning and daughter coming over for pizza tonight, oh forgot working today also but like I said, hard to give this terrific life up, that is a life in between my working!
Colorado is to snow storms as Georgia is to tornados
Oh my gosh, thought we could have a full week without a warning but here it goes again. A storm brewing out in Mississippi and might be coming this way. Home alone again with my animals. Anyone else out there with bad weather lately?
People hauled into court today here in Georgia for
watering their lawns. One guy had bench warrant put against him when he did not show up in court. We are in such a drought, first offense is $100.00 plus but the second one is $400.00 plus and after that I think your water is turned off. I wish Texas could share some with us. They don’t need and we do.

Young lady killed here in Georgia, Appalachian trail hiker
and she was enjoying going out about 2 years ago, killed on a mountain here by man posing as hiker. She was a young, vibrant lady in her 20s, he was in his 60s. I think I am getting this right when I say he used her police baton she carried for protection, wrestled it away from her and killed her with it. Is not the trail you hike on known for lot of crimes? This murder happened on that same trail where you give rides to strangers. This man was well known to other hikers there as he hung out on the trail lots of times.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU. Hope it is a good one. nm

Happy Birthday to you, then you can wish me a happy birthday on Friday! sm
Aquarians Rule!!!!! LOL
Well my church is a SB church in South Georgia
So maybe you're going to the wrong SB church!
Fox news
And . . . you're more upset about the poor grammar than the actual subject of the story - a man shooting his supervisor!
not new news here in FL
well Howard murdered Daniel and Anna Nicole for one reason only-- dinero there are things reported here in Broward-Dade that arent on the national news
They better not. According to FOX NEWS
she was handcuffed and tossed in cruiser. I missed it. SHUCKS.
news
Yes this is terrible. I am surprised the family members didnt freak out and run back and get the doc. YOu can bet i would have been screaming like a freak and grabbing someone if that was my family member
any more news?
nm
Yes, that's news to me too!!
we have pets in our house but can't say I've ever heard the above.
Old news
Yes maybe old news, but isn't it still illegal?
Much news
Thanks for asking. CJ had an ultrasound, which confirmed the pneumothorax but they could not find any tear or other reason for it. Because they had serial chest x-rays (yay me) and now the Doppler, they are confident there is NO LUNG CANCER. They were therefore good to perform thoracentesis, and this released 3 liters of air (wow). CJ is now resting much more comfortably. They will check for any re-accumulation of air at 5:00 and release anything they find, and if all goes well, we can pick him up at 5:30. Then we will hope that his body is able to heal. There will be rechecks. We will be tapering off the prednisone but give him doxycycline to prevent infection. Pretty good compared to thinking we were going to have to put him to sleep, eh??
I will attempt to get some money back from that first vet. Turns out the pneumothorax was clear as day on that FIRST chest x-ray, the one they only took because I was so insistant he couldn't breathe.
Prayers are appreciated!
I saw this on the news also
And was wondering the same dang thing. People do not use their heads for some reason. And then go on TV and expose their stupidity...not me! If a psychiatrist asked me to pull up my shirt, I'd lay him out and leave...then call the cops.
Wow. So much. First of all, I'm sorry for this news. Awfully sorry. sm
I can't imagine that kind of diagnosis.
After being severely depressed most of my life and then finding God (please don't move this to the religion board), I have determined in my heart and mind to live life to the fullest each and every day. I play lots of board games with my kids, call my mom, keep scrapbooks and journals, teach 2 classes at our church, and I study the Bible avidly.
I try to show love and kindness to every person in my life. Whenever I'm with others, I try to make it a point to listen twice as much as I talk and show genuine care and concern. I call people I haven't seen much in church to check up on them. I pray for people all the time. I take long, hot showers. When I am off work, I actually don't work! I can go on and on and on. I don't want to think of "if I only had so many days left," because I know that tomorrow may be the day I die. I don't want to waste any of it right now.
I am aspiring to be a speaker and travel the country giving my testimony, writing books, and encouraging women (especially depressed women) that THERE IS AN AWESOME PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE. You just have to find out what it is and live it. Every day.
I saw this in the news also. They say that one
of the things that may have helped save his life is that workers like this are taught what to do and how to brace their body in case of a fall. I can't imagine I would have my wits about me enough to remember what I was taught. This truely is amazing and definitely the work of the Lord.
News to me
Riley Children's Foundation -Riley Hospital for Children is my choice. :)
I saw this on the news the other day...how sad
they let out child molsters and rapists at the drop of the hat but it's a big deal to let this guy out long enough to see his daughter. what a sick society we live in.
Yes, just saw that on the news. Here is more
BREAKING NEWS
updated 11 minutes ago
NEW HAVEN, Connecticut - A spokeswoman for screen legend Paul Newman said Saturday that the actor had died at age 83.
Spokeswoman Marni Tomljanovic said Newman died Friday of cancer. No other details were immediately available.
Newman was nominated for Academy Awards 10 times, winning a regular Oscar in 1987 for "The Color of Money" and two honorary ones. He was equally at home in comedies such as "The Sting" and dramas such as "Hud."
So sad. What a handsome man he was.
This is old news....
Rachel Maddow, news reporter of MSNBC just came out.
i am sorry for the news...
but, you may well be right on 2 counts -- that it may work out for the best (rather than tragedy on vacation) and life IS good -- (not was) -- your vacations can just come a bit later!! God bless.
sad news
Nip/Tuck, my all time favorite medical show is getting cancelled. I wish they had worked in a story about McNamara Troy dealing with a loony MT! Anyone else have a favorite doc drama?
bad news
I know how this can be as I have an overbearing hubby when it comes to finances. Personally, I would wait until he is in that "chatty" kinda good mood and then say I have something to tell you and dont freak out!!
Have you guys seen the news...
about the alert and info on the 9-month-old? People just blow my mind with some of the things they pull these days!!!
