If this was the most sensational story you've eve heard in your life sm
then count your blessings. I know personally in my family and through others, of women/girls who don't know their baby's daddy (does the name Maury ring a bell), drug abusers, child loss, living such a worldly, superficial life....
Her life was not surprising to me. She was just a looker, just gorgeous if you ask me, and so she was like a bright light you couldn't take your eyes off, yet annoying if you stared too hard!
It sounds pretty. I guess you could put
more wood cross-pieces in the bottom and then spagnum moss. Be sure you use special potting mix; regular dirt is so heavy the boxes would split in time.
Chris is pretty hot too. Guess I just have a thing
for bald guys!
I guess Walter is pretty passive compared to your guy! Gets you going though, doesn't it? nm
I know!! I guess they had to find a story for Constantine.

You ARE judging -- judging businesses open and
It IS judgementalism at it's finest.
You think because someone doesn't agree with YOUR views, that THEY should have to work on that day, simply because of views.
You think that because someone might celebrate Christmas on Dec 20 due to family/schedule issues, that THEY shouldn't be able to live a normal life on Dec 25.
Very, very judgemental and extremely limited in perspective.
I understand you are Pentecostal. I'm more than familiar with that denomination. It has nothing to do with any of the topics you state. It just makes a bigger emphasis in my mind of WHY you think like you do. Sad.
I hope you have a good day. I'm thankful I am not like you. You don't make me want to be in any way. How's that for being an example and drawing others to Him? You're repelling, not drawing.
Go have yourself a great religious day.
How is the coverage over
freckles/age spots?
My sister just got the Avon brand of mineral makeup, and likes it so far. She just had to experiment with different brushes to get the coverage she needed. I tried the original brand, Ecentuals, or however it's spelled, and the color wasn't neutral enough and I couldn't figure out a technique to get the coverage I needed. I found it tricky to use because it was just so different.
Holiday coverage.
I have worked on days where the doc would not do surgery on a trauma patient until the ER/trauma examination was typed and in the file, making it a STAT report. Somebody has to be there to type it and send it back to them in a timely manner, not the next day.
Do you want us to turn off the T.V. when there is coverage?
The infamous and famous make the news. It is difficult not to form an opinion after such controversial information is revealed.
Information on coverage
First of all, how old is your mother and is she retired or was she working at the time of the disability? I am going to apply to start receiving the money paid into social security. I have been once, got questions answered and this Monday going again because I know you have to set up the payments 3 months prior to your receiving them. I will have reached full retirement age in March. I do not wish to accept Medicare insurance - I just wanted the money BUT I have found out (as your mother should have) regarding what I have to do. I have husband's insurance which is really excellent but I know this will be secondary to Medicare. I have A now but when I got it I knew it was for hospital only. Why did your mother give to a doctor when being seen by them? I think she must have not been informed or gotten information she should have. My elderly aunt has advised me on A, B and C and I think there is a D- I wrote it down but meeting Monday will ask the SS office. Before my PPO coverage, I absolutely did my own finding out about my coverage- if a physician referred me to another I called my insurance company to find out if set up with them. I one time saw a man being charged over $400 because he had not done his seeking out of what he should have- in other words he went to a physician because his internist told him he was being referred- yet his insurance company did not cover and he was responsible for this money. How did she get the card for part A?? Did she call or did she go in to get it? I went to the social security office and got mine- it was not sent- don’t know if they send to your home address or not? I have questions that I have written down, got answers from my aunt who gets Medicare and want to know up front what is covered, what I want and what I do not want. It seems as though maybe your mother needed some assistance- why did she not ever ask questions? I have been told in the past I owed a big amount, never to Medicare but mine was worked out to my advantage- hopefully hers can be also.
also, there is a new inclusive coverage that (sm)
is government subsidized for people with pre-existing conditions who have no access to a major medical plan. It is inclusive insurance or something like that...look it up. or your state dept of insurance should have it on their home page. It is discounted and if your condition is on the list, you can be covered. If that fails, you can always get a mini-med plan which will cover you to a degree though the coverage is not high for things like hospitalizations, etc. But I stick by the theory that if you control it with diet and exercise, you need not even mention it since it is a recent diagnosis and 127 is not horrible by any means. You can do it! Don't worry! I just went through all of this trying to find insurance for a condition I have that will not go away...it can be done :-)
I saw it on one of those news coverage ....sm
channels last night. I don't remember which one. I was flipping through.
Try watching Fox, continuous coverage
as I type. I think there was such an outcry from loads of folks and she was supposed to appear before a judge this morning, tried to telecommunicate and the judge ordered her picked up and is now waiting on her to appear and apparently she is headed back. They could have ordered her to the nut ward of the slammer if she had a nervous breakdown. Give me a break.
In addition to the media, I would also
contact an attorney if the school does nothing. I've seen a few movies "based on fact" where the school is legally bound to protect your child during school hours. If the school does nothing and the police do nothing, I would contact an attorney immediately.
I cannot believe that the media compares M to
Princess Diana, as Diana # 2.
Between the 2 lies a world.
Where did you get that I was judging anyone?
I'm not judging anyone, ks. And, I don't get what you're talking about regarding "spewing the word from your mouth and acting differently behind closed doors". I try to be humble in my faith. As I said, I may not agree with a person's lifestyle, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't be respectful to him/her. God put us on this Earth to do HIS work or genuinely didn't you know that? This thread was about what stores wouldn't you shop at and I replied that I wouldn't shop at WalMart because they sell gay/lesbian material. That is because I do not agree with it because I believe the scripture referring to homosexuality as being sinful, ungodly, and an abomination.
I don't know where you got that I was judging YOU or your son in law. sm
I never said anything disparaging about you. The worst I said about him was that it sounded like he was underprepared (you didn't give a big history on his work experience other than that he was new to cold call sales, which is what I commented on).
I certainly didn't judge him for taking a job, only questioned if it was the right job for him.
And where did you get that I thought it was "nonsense?" I never said that, never implied that.
I DID give you suggestions that YOU could do to ease your mind...you really can find a LOT of your needed info simply by Googling. That wasn't a demeaning response, it was truthful...I checked it out before I suggested it.
I kicked NO ONE when they were down.
I am not judging, if I were then I
would talk to her about her excessive alcohol use, her marijuana use and on and so forth. I am not past talking with, but frankly I have felt she is very judgemental, critical of me and just does not even take the time to know me as I am. I do not ever get in her life, stay on 1 side of town and she on the other. Just like she said walking on egg shells, that has been my take on her for a very long time.
No, the post said media was embarrasing
her which is not the media causing this mess. She has herself to blame, not the media. They only try to follow a story that is so out there and hers is. It seems like she has had a complete loss of reality but even on my worst days, never thought of murdering and this was her intention from what the reports are saying. Like I said previously, you never ever know a person, maybe yourself. All the people who know her shocked by her actions. They said mother first and foremost about her. I see women posting about not letting others keep their children and here is a mother of 3 and what is she reported to have wanted to do? Things happen all the time just like this story except most of us just not as famous and therefore we mostly do not land in the news.
Media and attention seekers...sm
There is nothing wrong with "children today" anymore than children of any other day. Half the problem is the media and all the attention they are giving this and other similar things of this nature. The media are reporting every shooting, every violent act they can get their hands on and grouping them together because people watch this crap. Bad things happen every day and will continue to happen. It's just part of life. The more media attention things like this get, the more people wanting attention will copy it.
Wow! You're a keeper! :) In what media are you
s
what you did and what the media portrays are completely different

Here we go again. Judge not, I'm not judging. I am following
that is how I can say what a store should and shouldn't sell!
No, you won't change me otherwise. I'm not judging
the Bible. God will judge in the end. I simply don't shop at stores that sell gay and lesbian items.
I agree...too much judging others. nm

Are you judging her mother by what
she told you or personal experience?
and not judging you at all-happy that you (sm)
have not experienced the horrible guilt that many of us have. Some do and some do not, but it is a risk...you don't know for sure how you will feel until later. It is sort of a knee-jerk reaction oftentimes, to try to quickly "solve the problem" but many people have terrible guilt years later and have to get help with it.
Judging people I don't know:
If you're one of the sickos who defend their right to abuse children because it's their religion, you deserve to be judged along with them.
I'm not judging you but with there being so many women who do (sm)
have terrible guilt and remorse after ABs it would seem that there should be more involved to get one, at least a visit with an unbiased psychiatrist who tells the full story of how one might feel later. I had someone say to me, "Now this is your decision right? Later on you don't get to blame anyone else, not your boyfriend, not your friends, no one else." I said I wouldn't and that was the extent of my counseling. This was in the mid-90s. I think you should have to go apply for one, be given a counseling session, wait a week or two, and see if that is still what you want to do. I think women should be given extensive information on all of their options and possible emotional repercussions so that at least when they make their own personal "choice" at least it is a well-informed choice. For me it is not so much guilt toward God as it is to the child I allowed to be killed. It is not a religious thing at all.
No one is judging a dog. Dogs
don't know right from wrong. They are animals. The point that I continue to make is that IT DOES NOT MATTER what this elderly man did. The pets in the home attacked and killed him. No PET should ever be capable by temperament of attacking and killing a human being.
For the sake of your argument, if the man reached out with a cane and rapped the dog on the head, in your mind would that justify the reactions of the dog to kill the person who struck him? How many other dog breeds would run behind the couch or under a table when confronted with abusive treatment? How many other dog breeds would growl? Bark? Nip? Bite? No one is saying that an animal should not defend itself, but a dog whose defense is to kill a human is a dog that should NOT be kept as a pet. A dog is an animal and does not think like a human, as you have pointed out, and that is precisely the thing that makes them unpredictable and makes the pitbull breed attacked unprovoked. It is all in what the dog perceives as a threat, which a human cannot always predict, or more importantly, cannot always prevent.
I think you're watching too much media, which overrates everything.
nm
all for the sake of media, once again, running lives
I never started watching this useless gimmic of a show; typical media crap that it is.
What a media whor$. Child expert
my foot. How about expert at manipulation, selfishness and greed? It wouldn't surprise me if Oprah slurped all over her just for the attention; she is another media whor$. I hope the IVF clinic is shut down. I heard on the news yesterday that she actually worked at the clinic. The whole story skeeves me!
No, I do not hate her. It's just unbelievable as what the media tries to portray her.
Second Princess Diana?
Elegant?
Unique style (this yes, but positively?)
Does the media think that we do not have eyes to see?
I bet that M is also irritated by all this.
But $ 540.-- for a pair of ugly sneakers?
What are these people thinking, especially in these times.
And she wears them at a charity event?

Stop judging people who you do not know
Not judging honey, believe me, I speak...
my mind and you could tell if I was judging others. This place is teeming with unhappy, whining, complaining women (just look at some of the posts all over this site) and that is not a judgement, it is fact. As far as being in the same situation as others one day, if you read any of my posts you would see that I have been there, done that and changed my ways. Should something happen, we have learned to save money, have enough put away to last a year and not have to touch any retirement, etc. That took a lot of determination and hard work on our part and we are proud of it.
I am get a good chuckle out of some women who accuse other women of "living off their husbands" and "where would you be without his money". I can make my own money, but my husband doesn't tell me that i need to work and doesn't tell me how much I need to make. He is the provider in this family and has never once asked me to work harder, earn more or get a different job. Remember when men used to do that and our mother's stayed home and raised the family and didn't work? Are you jealous of your girl friends or family members that don't have to work or who live debt free or do you hold that judgement for those you do not know?
Enough of this for now. I'm sure someone will have something to bash me about later on...go ahead, it just shows how very immature some women can be.
I bought something recently and it was sent by media mail and took 3 weeks. sm
Last year I bought some videos and they took about a month to get here, so give it a little more time if it was sent by media mail.
like a cow, he does what the guy in front of him does; sees it in the media, thinks it's real

BOYCOTT!! I think she is a media hound (nicer word than what I really think) sm
and we should not dignify what she has done by giving her one iota of attention. And any station that decides to give her a "show" (like Jon&Kate plus 8 or that Duggars Giant humongous family - disgusting) should be absolutely boycotted and all their sponsors too. Promoting this stuff is just WRONG.
I like Paula, the media and people make up so much stuff!...nm

I agree, in the beginning the media was in such a hype that we got panicky
and now they slowed down too much with the reporting so that we got the impression that it is over, but it is not yet!
Stay careful, out there....
Yeah, that would make me ill. I am not judging you by any means sm
as to the whys of your son living with them. If you were married to a husband like mine and then had 3 boys totally dedicated to sports - when it comes to that I have NO SAY whatsoever about my 3 sons playing ball. Their dad takes care of all of that. I don't think I'd let them move away and I don't my husband would either, BUT, if they did and my ex sister in law was the way you describe yours to be, then I'd be very upset too!
Right now I don't get along with my in laws. At all. Never have. And to imagine that one of my boys living with them. Ugh. Makes me ill just thinking about that.
What the he## is her problem with you any way? I mean, seriously? If she had any sense whatsoever she would smile, be sweet, and only say nice things about you ALWAYS.
Listen, hon. Trust me on this one. Your son will grow up and see her true colors and resent her if she continues to spew hate or not like you, etc. You are his mom. I know my boys would be the same if anyone disrespected me like that. I mean, their own dad can't even look at me wrong before they are all over him like you know what.
Let the natural thing just happen. Do the right thing. Say the right thing. Be there for him, always. Ask about his aunt. Be a huge part of his life even if he isn't there with you. Call often. And if she continues to be a twit, then you will be the winner in the end, even though right now it may not feel like it.
Good luck.
bogus media runs this country; time for a change.

OP does not support raunchy media-spun shows...that is the point.

Someone who is atheist clearly is not going to Heaven. No judging, just stating fact as
per the Holy Bible.
I wasn't judging, just stating the facts ma'am....
these were things that were mentioned in the trial. And the baby and the methadone thing was accused by Larry B, I think he would know if she was taking methadone, and she was on something, we all know that.
I get frustrated by the double standard they use when judging people. They let certain people go sa
What do you think about the voting process?
There is teacher's side of story, kid's side of story

that is a pretty big
generalization... you can't know everyone's story and how they ended up with bad credit. There are people out there who are irresponsible and do earn it and sadly many people are also taking advantage of the bankruptcy laws in the same manner, making it harder on those with true misfortunes or catastrophes. But don't stereotype everyone into one group, it isn't fair to do that.
I like that name that's pretty
