In Reply to: Racist remark from tax person - Putoffbyremarks
That's really strange to me. I knew where my husband went to school and what he went to school for the day I met him! I guess it just seems very strange to me that you don't seem to really know anything about his past. I just don't understand how 2 people can have a relationship and know practically nothing about each other.

It certainly is about education (sm)
I enjoy watching Cesar Millan's show. Pit bulls are one of his favorite dog types. His have wonderful personalities because Cesar understands them and how to communicate with dogs of any type, and especially those with a reputation for being difficult.
I recently saw a great episode about a man who was terrified of dogs. He'd been attacked by a dog in Mexico - a pit bull. Cesar taught him how to read what dogs were saying and how to broadcast calm leadership, even to a dog behind a fence many feet away from you. That man was very happy to overcome his fear, and Cesar was able to help his family adopt a dog from Cesar's pack that had the right energy for their lifestyle.
Education in America.....sm
I'm still shaking my head over this one, folks. A member of our local school board, when asked about a child whose parents were told was failing all classes but in reality was only failing one said, "Well, a child can be behind their peers but still passing."
I don't know about you all, but in my day and time of growing up, if you had a C or higher average in a class you were passing and parents weren't told the child was failing.
The Education of Little Tree (sm)
I don't watch TV much, but found on a Google search and on Amazon

Education of Little Tree?
I did not see the View, but I do own this book and loved it. It supposedly was an autobiography by Forest Carter, but turns out he made the whole thing up, which ended up being a really disappointed me as I found the characters so real. I live in the mountains of WNC and am part Cherokee. Good to hear that your kids are into tribal life.
Education of Little Tree
GREAT BOOK!! I passed my book around to my friends and they all loved it too. My aunt even bought a couple as gifts to others. Easy read and very enjoyable.
Education on Pitbulls
Know the FACTS: visit http://www.thetruthaboutpitbulls.com/
According to the American Canine Temperament Testing Association 82.5% of the American Pitbull Terriers that took the temperament test passed, compared to a 77% passing rate for all breeds on average. Pitbulls have achieved the fourth highest passing rate of all 122 breeds tested.
No wait, wait... 'mere Mom, me and my friends
can all drink it too. Come on guyz... my Mom won't mind, have a drink and have some fun. Bring the chocolate syrup! Doesn't she have big nipples. "My Dad likes 'em too and my baseball coach! 
Or better yet - how about we provide s*x education in school, sm
not just *abstinence* education, and we focus on the emotional aspects of having a physical relationship? Next, how about we de-sexualize advertising? When was the last time you could find modest clothing, not hootchie mamma stuff for your kids in the stores?
Time for another diabetes education class.
That's why most doctors send their diabetics to classes - because the rules have changed from their pre-diabetic days.

Parents DO NOT owe kids college education.
When DD started college we paid,,,, at first. But she did NOTHING to help herself. From her part time job, all her money went to nails, clothes, meals out with friends, etc. She did nothing about getting scholarships. After 1st year, I said I wouldnt pay anything else. DH continued to help her. She did apply for scholarship thru DH work and got $2000. Of that money, she ended up dropping a class paid for with that money, cause it was too early (8:00am). Bottom line, she did nothing towards finishing school, in fact, quit going, did not increase work hours. I stopped giving her ANY money at that point. She ended up marrying Marine boyfriend and is now working at Dollar Store. These were HER choices, instead of completing her teaching degree, of which she only had 2 years to go. I told her why should I spend my hard earned money on her when she was doing absolutely nothing to help herself. She knew if she was making an effort to her future I would help her, but not if she wasnt doing anything for herself.
The answers to your questions are and there is coed sex education where I live, my goodness!
Yes I am female and yes I do have a female daughter. Again, what I really am saying is no way should you get an excuse for something that normal like a period, because IF all the females start having periods at the same time, no swimming. Sounds like making a mountain out of a mole hill. More important things to do with our time than club a teacher over the head when probably the kids that age talk about more sexual matters than a period. Kids are much more mature than these posting are giving them credit for and lots have had sex already by this age.
Does your husband or significant other do this? Just now, at 7:30, my husband came home from sm
playing sports with a friend. After showering he comes downstairs naked and tries to start a conversation with me. My "office" is in the living room and he is standing in back of the couch so I can't see any private parts, just him without his shirt, but I can see enough to know he clearly is naked! I think he wants me to be amused or get turned on or something, but I'm not amused one bit. In fact, I keep working and basically ignore him.
Poor guy. I swear he thinks he's Vince Vaughn or something. I should at least smile at him but all I want to tell him is to put some clothes on! ugh!
Don't wait.
The attacks will definitely become more frequent and more sensitive. Even limiting your diet to bland foods will eventually not be good enough.
The pain is from the stones trying to pass into the biliary duct. It can be devastating if that happens.
I had open gallbladder surgery. It was painful, but I had no complications. I'm glad I had it done.
Don't wait. Infection can set in; necrosis can start.
Wait!!!!
I have the thickest, curliest, kinkiest, frizziest hair going. I was ready to pull it out when I saw something on the Today show. They said sodium laureth sulfate causes hair to be frizzy. I went out and bought organic shampoo and you would not beleive the change. I use Frizz Ease spray leave on conditioner and only wash it about once a week. I am sooo much happier with it now. I personally am too scared to make a change because if you don't like it, there is nothing you can do. Good luck whatever you decide. You could try this first and see if it helps.
No, but can't wait to see it!
And he may be targeting the pharmaceutical companies next. That ought to be good, too:)
N/T - Can Wait
LOL. If you to talk about the show or the new season, please feel free to email me privately (as can the rest of the posters).
Thanks. Cannot wait to here from him. nm

Oh boy could hardly wait to add my
doggie's picture to the forum
Meet Pinkie, she lives in Hawaii right now.
Oh, BTW, that's my grandson Cameron with her!! Luv him a lot too!!!
Thank you very much!!!! Can't wait to try them out! NM
..
Please wait
Please see a counselor before any sort of meeting with the other people! I'm not sure that it is a good idea. I know you have a need to meet this woman, but I'm not sure that it will be good for you in the long run. Please reconsider! Best wishes.
Can't wait to see it!...nm

oh, wait....
Thank you, I am going to just wait and see
if there is an appropriate time and I realize that may never happen. This is something so personal, I just want so much to share in their joy without judgement. When it happens it happens. I am just sooooo glad there are people out there that don't judge. We need sooo much more of that in this world!
You can't wait until he is better....he will never
Your whole life is passing by and he has purposely isolated you from your family. He does not own you - you are not his possession. You have and have always had the right to come and go as you please and have your friends and family members come over any time but he has denied you that right. He is insecure and jealous of your sister. He wants you all to himself....he is treating you like a possession. He doesn't get to tell you "no" your sister can't come. It is not even his right to do that. I feel so sad for you that you have let all these years pass letting him tell you what to do. It will be hard and there will be arguments but you have got to stand up for yourself before your life just slips through your fingers like sand. You sister should have been welcome each time she wanted to come. It sounds like he is afraid you might care about someone other than him. Please let your sister come and see you...tell him if not, you are going to see her and you are staying for two weeks! or three! Your life is passing you by and he is keeping you from living it.
but wait!
who is the male lead? or should I say male leads; at least, I assume they are male!
Even if that wait......sm
meant a delayed diagnosis of a potentially treatable disease had you been given the CT scan, say, 6 months earlier?
You might just say "those are the breaks" but I would want diagnosis and treatment in a prompt and timely fashion rather than waiting around for 6 months for a diagnostic test, only to be told that I could have been cured 6 months earlier before the disease progressed to the point of no return.
Wait it out..
Not only that, but to cash it out you have a penalty...so say you cash out $5,000...after penalties and all that, you will get a bit over $3,000 I believe.
Just know if you cash it out, you will have to claim it as income on your taxes and pay a really high tax amount on it.....
I, too, have had to wait it out...sm
until they were old enough. Same here. Never helped with sick kids, never got out of bed to help when I had 3 babies at home...newborn, 1, and 2. NEVER NEVER GOT OUT OF BED TO HELP. No matter how tired I was, no matter if I was crying, he didn't give a crap. Yes...I, too, have been told he will fight me for full custody. In his words..."We'll see who is the one who will have to pay child support." So this for him is not about wanting the very best for his children, it is not wanting to have to pay me child support. I know he has severe mental illness...bipolar and paranoia. He follows me everywhere, he calls me wherever I go and then hangs up when the phone is answered even though my family has caller ID and knows it was him, he tells me he is going to go to my family and ask my sister's husband why they are allowing me to b**w them. I could go on but I think you get the message. My children are very unhappy.
thanks. He's only 9; I can't wait to see the look
One hour to go!!
thanks. He's only 9; I can't wait to see the look
He has a palatal expander, which is also uncomfortable. Thanks for the kind comment.
One hour to go!!
Can't wait, too!
I saw Liz tell Christian he should be putting his affairs in order. Is it a threat, a prediction . . ? Tuesday can't come fast enough!
You could wait until it's really dry, then
try to scrape off as much as you can. My daughter did this with red nail polish on the living room carpet. Scrape off as much as you can - it may take a while - and then you may have to use scissors to snip any leftovers. We eventually had a spot where the carpet was a tiny bit shorter in that spot, but it was definitely better than a fire engine red spot!
Wait until you see how he/she looks like and then name him/her...nm
nm
WAIT...
I just realized you ARE the OP, lol! When I saw the 'a different one', I thought you were another poster who had a similar experience.
Anyway, what I've experienced and how I acted out are probably the exact types of things you're going through.
Chaos is indeed an addiction but it's curable. You'll be fine ;-)
I think everyone should wait at least 3 months.

ooooo - cant wait to see!!!
You are right, but I think it's good to wait .... (sm)
a while before adopting a new pet after you lose one. I got my new kitty only 4 weeks after losing my former cat, and must guiltily admit that it took about 4 months before I stopped constantly comparing her to my former cat. Her way of showing affection is TOTALLY different than my former cat, and for the longest time I didn't think she would ever come to truly like me. As it turns out she DOES truly like me, she just has a totally different way of showing it! I got my former cat after losing the one before him to cancer, and much more time passed between having each of those two pets, and I think that made the transition period (which one always goes through with a new pet) a whole lot easier.
I am SO excited, can hardly wait
to see your part of the country. I live in the south and the weather here now at almost 9 p.m. is 70 degrees. We saw a bit of "spitting" snow this past week, the weather is crazy! I love the animals and the scenery must be gorgeous there, like a kid at Christmas with my upcoming trip!
Or maybe they could wait a few hours
before coming to the board where they very well know the east coasters want to be talking about it.
I wait until spring, too sm
I figure the dead leaves and stalks offer a little protection from the cold. The bed where I have the hydrangea stayed iced over for more than a week this past winter, and I thought I had lost the hydrangea. But in the spring I could feel that the branches were still supple and smooth at the bottom so we just cleared out the dead leaves, trimmed off the dead tips, and it came back beautifully. It has blossoms all over it that are getting ready to burst into bloom.
We just moved into this house last summer and I planted the hydrangea in a place where I thought it would have enough shade, but we had a bunch of 100+ degree days I was afraid the heat had killed it....until the cold came along and then I thought the same thing about the cold. But it is definitely "the little hydrangea that could"!!
can you wait a few days
and call your X? Do you know any reason why he might have called it off? If he has been ok with it before..maybe there is a reason? Does he have a new gf or soemthing? Maybe you could offer to go there? Who knows what goes through men's minds sometimes. Can you reassure him that your son wil be back home at the end of summer? If you do not want to go through litigation again, call him back in a few days. Is he just being a bulley trying to punish you?
Wait a minute...
This bride is 65, second wedding, and I assume wearing white? I wonder. Also I believe etiquette says a bridal shower is not proper for a second wedding and probably especially not for a couple in their 60s ! which poster mentioned. Also, etiquette says the bride and groom or family should pay to put the guests up at the hotel if they have to come from out of town which poster also mentioned.
This old gal is obviously not Miss Manners, herself.
: )
Cannot wait to hear what he has to say
at 11:30 EST. He better take responsiblity for this and not try to blame someone else for this. I heard in one report they are saying he had a difficult childhood and that this is why he has acted in this manner. GIMME A BREAK. Sorry do not buy it.
do not wait - do something now -- report her
Before another family or child is scarred by this counselor you need to write a letter to the principal and to the school board documenting everything that has happened. If you let it go, it will continue and harm other children. I am all for making children accountable for their actions and sometimes feel that parents do coddle too much sometimes but in this occurence -- do not and I really urge you to do something about it and report it. If you stand by and let this continue then you are partially responsible -- more of us need to become involved and do something about things like this. Let us know what happens. Just document in writing everything that has happened and does happen.
I agree. We will wait and see. But
in the meantime, Utah would be an interesting place for setting a new CSI.
Thank you. Will just wait until they are ready. nm
!
I'm on my way! Have to wait for break! NM

And just wait until they start using your DNA sm
to profile everyone for genetic health risks. I see that day coming. Some states already are proposing creating a "DNA databank" for newborns....
I think I would wait until the dinner
before getting so upset. I understand there is obvious issues with your SIL and if it does pan out the way you have it in your mind right now, then you can be upset but I think it's a little premature to get that upset about it.
By the way, I'd call your daughter anyway!
I think too many people would not be able to wait until the day is over. LOL
That would be nice. Maybe on a board like this it would work, but in real life I don't think it would. Too many people thrive on anger, confrontation, and oh how they do like to judge. I don't even think they know they are like that. My friends mother for instance lives in the victim state. Everything is everyone elses fault. She never did anything but all her problems and situation is someone elses fault. The problems she has are usually her kids fault. If she didn't have so many kids she would have been able to do so much more with her life. It's her husband's fault she had so many kids (she has 6), and its someone elses fault she never finished college (which by the way her whole college tuition, books, room & board, meals, clothes and I mean absolutely everything) was paid for in full and she would have not had to pay back anything (wish I had that opportunity). But after a year she decided to drop out and move away from her home town. Anyway...back to my thought...people just thrive on blame, hate and judgment (among other negative emotions).
Reading the post the first thing that came to my mind was a movie I watched called Demolition Man starring Sandra Bullock and Sylvester Stallone, where he is put in cryostasis and comes out of it in the future and they all talk and end sentances with "Happy Happy Joy Joy" and everyone is overly polite to everyone. It's an amusing movie and I love it and that's what this reminded me of.
So I'd like to say to Ms. National Be Nice and Friendly Day I'd like to say... Happy Happy Joy Joy, and be well.
