cheese? Might have to try that out. My hubby says he is getting home late so instead of him cooking, I am out to get a pizza. Getting those olives and pepperoni for me, yum!

That is such a sweet thing to do for your neighbors!
There's only 1 family around here with little kids...most everyone else are older or seniors, and I think they would get a kick out of it.
Every Christmas I make up little centerpieces out of balsam and different evergreens I scavenge from the woods here, pretty them up with a candle, bow, and a festive pick and give all my neighbors one. I was always able to deliver them during the day and leave them on steps or front porches...again, in the safety of daylight.
Last winter I had to delivery my goods at about 11 p.m. because of my crazy schedule. I hoofed it, in the snow, with just my arrangements and a flashlight. One of my neighbors heard me come down the driveway (cruncy snow) and cocked his gun--it was that distinct "CHI-CHINK" sound, and it made me stop dead in my tracks! Can you imagine?! Apparently someone had been threatening them in a domestic-disturbance kind of way and they thought I was that person! They apologized up and down but I nearly shat myself, know what I'm sayin?! Lesson learned...never go roamin' around at night...even in the country. Folks is packin' heat!
That sweet dainty thing SNORES?!
That's a riot! How old is she and when did you adopt her? She has such a sweet face!
Thanks, Wannie! nm

I don't know why Amy is attacking you - I don't see how anyone could feel bad about a working person with kids taking food stamps - I also wondered who was taking care of Amy's kids since she was always working. . I would much rather see a working person get help than an able bodied person who doesn't try.
EXACTLY Wannie!-I couldn't have said it better
I agree with you Wannie!
If you didn't need it on the 24th, then just wait til the 26th. As for emergencies, you should always have a back up plan. I live in the country, I do this ALL the time! I can't run to the store everytime something doesn't work right!! Sorry your husband may have to work on Christmas Day.
Wannie, how are you holding up hun?
Just letting you know you and your mom are in my thoughts.
I agree with you, Wannie
No way would I be involved with my family if they tried to exclude my husband. He and I are one, our family is our first priority. The OP's husband should stand up for his wife above all else. She should be his first priority.
Wannie, very good point! lol

Congratulations to your husband Wannie
It's wonderful that he's been sober for six months. Good luck to him.
Wonderful news Wannie
Congrats to your husband and to you too for sticking it out with him. I'm sure it wasn't easy. I actually don't drink and never have. People think that's strange, but I never felt the need and I just never liked it.
Wannie, they are probably sitting on their fat behinds
right now not offering much to society, as much as they would like to think they are special. They can look down their noses at those who have had to ask for assistance and say what they will because they have sad, pitiful lives and only feel superior lambasting others (I guarantee one of them is looking up the word lambasting right now?). Be prepared for some snappy, snarky comment from one of them. They are unhappy with themselves which is why they must degrade others. You have done nothing to warrant their scorn.
I agree. From the poster below with opinion different than Wannie.

What a sweet, sweet face!
I have tears in my eyes. I will see what I can do about getting him a hat from PA. Do you know do they just want ball caps or would a beanie be okay, too?
Sweet or not sweet cornbread?

Happiness is a heart thing; pleasure is a head thing.nm
These are all so sweet....
This is the sweetest posts I have read here for a while. I have two. First, the love of Jesus in my life. There is no other comparison to his love. Thank you Jesus! Second, the way my DH searches me out in a crowded room. That makes me feel pretty special! Enjoyed these sweet posts!!
This is actually a sweet one-
My twin sister and I were adopted and from as early as I can remember we were told that we were special cause mommy and daddy got to choose us. For years I envisioned this baby store where parents would cruise up and down the aisles until they found the ones they wanted. And I always did feel special because of it.
Aw, how sweet.
On Father's day I called the house and mom answered, but I had a question about a gift I was getting Dad, so thankfully I thought to ask if Dad was right there too (couldn't tell if we were on speaker). Turned out he had also picked up, which surprised me so much that instead of wishing him a happy FD, I told him he needed to get off the phone! How wude!
I did see him later in the day and apologized, LOL.
How sweet.
My child is the light of my life and love reading things like this. Be sure to write that down so you and she don't forget it as they grow up so quickly. You made my day==thanks!
sweet 16
My daughter is not studious but more of the artsy, eccentric type, but she did not want the big sweet 16 bash. Instead, she had a formal tea party at our house with 7 of her friends. They all wore fancy dresses, high heels. She filled the room with flowers, made little sandwiches, tea obviously, fancy desserts, tablecloths, doilies, etc. It was so over the top, it was funny rather than weird and geeky, and they had a blast! Later, just she and I went to NYC together and saw some plays, went shopping, did museums.
But this is a kid who shops at thrift stores and vintage shops and would not be caught dead in anything bought at a mall. So whatever is "in" is "out" for her.
Sweet 16
 How about tickets to a concert by her favorite performer/group for both of them, rented limo to take them to a fancy dinner first? Or, does she know her friend's family well? If so, how about a dual party? Just thinking out loud. It's a special day for her, one she ought to remember always. My parents didn't have a lot of money, and my sweet 16 (a gazillion years ago) was just a house get-together with about 6 people, but it was fun because that special day was acknowledged. I had a cousin whose sweet 16 was held in a nightclub. Trini Lopez was performing there, and I saw Connie Stevens sitting at the next table!
Wow! How sweet to ask! sm
I didn't want to post "little change in condition" but thank you for asking so I will post an update. It is getting worse but not progressing as quickly as I thought it would back on Saturday. I'm having to hand feed her and am trying to find goodies that will tempt her to eat. I had some liquid pain medicine from before and so she was taking that in tuna water (which she used to love) but now won't even drink that so I can't get any pain medication in her. She didn't sleep well last night. She keeps looking at me and meowing and I wish I could speak cat. The time is close I think. I'll let you know when.
sweet
Good to hear you smiling again Hayseed......Cedric is so cute Misha...He and Sasha are gonna keep you busy!
How Sweet!
Wish my baby was still sweet. She's a black lab now 1-1/2 years old and sure knows how to rule hubby. She gives him heck every time he won't do what she wants. 
I can't sit on the couch when he's working or she jumps right up on me and lays upside down on my lap. She's no lightweight, either. She weighs 80 pounds.
They want to be near YOU! Sweet! nm

Definitely not sweet...nm
:))
Sweet! Sweet! Sweet! - nm
!
How sweet! sm
Yeah, it's a bill, but it's something for you specifically, something you can use all by yourself :-)
Of course, you'll use the money on bills that you didn't have to spend on glasses. lol
That was very generous and kind of her.
They look so sweet!
 Cat
sweet.

Thank you, you are so sweet!! nm

sweet!!!
for clothes
Sweet isn't exactly what he is going for. LOL
Wish it was that simple. He's a man, he has an alterior motive and it's not to be sweet. He even tells me so. lol
Ahh - that's so sweet.
Almost as sweet as my 4 yo saying "you're the best mom in the whole town." LOL
Congratulations for having such a great relationship with your daughter. That's awesome!
God bless!
sweet guy
you are lucky to have a man that cares about you and wants to take care of you! He probably thinks he is doing the right thing so you don't have to worry about those things! Be thankful he doesn't say "get it yourself." if you feel the need to choose things for yourself, do other things like going shopping for clothes or things for the house. boom, choices.
How Sweet!!!!!
He is beautiful!! Feel better Gary!! Thanks for sharing Gary's mom and keep us updated!!
very sweet
loving the colors :)
Now THAT's Sweet!
What a precious memory...for both of you. You are blessed :-)
Aww! she looks sweet.
I love dogs!
Sweet
I love it when things like that happen. We have a family of chipmunks living under our deck. It's not unusual to see several deer in our yard. Drives the dogs crazy. We even had a resident groundhog (we nicknamed him "Groundy") until he got hit by a car a few weeks ago. They're destructive but he liked to go up on our back porch and dig up the moss that grows there, which was extremely helpful.
DH has brought home several abandoned animals he sees on his ride home including a couple of birds - one made it a day, the other was doing well but we didn't know it had learned to fly and before we could get a cage for it to recuperate and/or grow, it flew out of the tall box we had it in while we were at work, and the dogs must have thought it was a toy. I won't say how that ended. He brought home a couple of possum babies last year and though we did everything according to the Internet, the first one died quickly and the second decided to leave the heating pad, unattended. We couldn't find it and I was sick thinking about it rotting somewhere. Thankfully, my dogs kept smelling the closet, so we knew where it had gone. They found him within 24 hours, thankfully. All of these animals would have died in the wild and we fared no better with them, sad to say.
Last year, one of the cats who hangs out with a dozen or so other strays behind a Chinese restaurant (not being funny - that part is true!) followed me home one night. I gave him something to eat and he stayed. We brought him indoors, he had all of his shots and a good ear mite cleaning at the vet. We also had him neutered. $300 later, he got out as I was taking the dogs. He got run over and diet pretty quick. I felt bad. No more strays for us - Pug rescue only.
thanks chickadee, that was really sweet! sm
we have talked quite extensively and i have told him i am not ready for anything serious right now. i just want to enjoy being single and raise my kiddos. he seems to understand that but you are right, a man is a man, lol, and hard to picture him in the doc lifestyle. if nothing but a good friendship comes out of this, it would be nice to have anyway and right now i just need to get out of the house. i am tired of working 24/7, but on the upside he does too!! so i don't think either one of us have time for a relationship, lol.
Your sweet puppy
I'm so very sorry for your loss. It's so difficult to loose someone we love. Have you ever heard of the site, I believe it's called Rainbow's Bridge, the place where our beloved pets pass after they've left us? Please visit the site and register your baby....perhaps it will make you feel just a bit better after you do and be sure to read the poem...
If only they stayed that little and sweet 4-ever...
Mom of 2 in school, and aren't you a nice neighbor. Have fun!
What a face! Sweet!
Thanks for the sweet responses!
Off to get tights and slippers, I guess:-)
Thanks for all these sweet answers and get this,,,
my dear one left for work at 12:30- just called and said he was talking with his friend in California and his friend met a new girl who said she was a size 14. My hubby wanted to know if I was that size or smaller, even a 12. Lordy, lordy, now you know why I say thank you Jesus for this man. I am a size 20 pants but would love to be a 14. I just carry myself well. Ladies, there is still hope out there for everyone!!!
sweet answer!

You need to be sweet. He is STILL your husband. sm
I would be absolutely devastated if my husband said to me "I just don't feel that way towards you anymore." What are you doing? Love is NOT a feeling. It is a committment. You sound like you have a keeper the way he "feels you up."
Flame away, ladies. Quit being so selfish. Your feelings have nothing to do with your marriage. Do you honestly think that two 90 year olds who have been married for 50+ years have felt the love, passion, etc. during those 50+ years? How about someone being married 10 years? Or 20?
Marriage takes hard work and committment. If we made decisions strictly based on our feelings all the time, then we'd be a wretched mess, which is why a lot of women are in the predicaments they are in today.
Give your husband a chance. Love him. Stay with him because it is the right thing to do. The feelings will come as you see the little things in life mean more than mere "feelings" and "this is what I want," (divorce, etc.).
It DOES get better.
