Well I had a friend at work who wanted a baby badly
Posted By: and at 7 months along found out the baby on 2007-03-26
In Reply to: I disagree and here's why - sm - disagree
had hydrocephalus. She prayed and prayed. She finally decided through a lot of counseling that it would be better to abort this baby. So in what stage of abortion are we talking made to look at the ultrasound. Is this a whole different thing? Should she have been made to have that baby even knowing the baby would not survive? I think there are abortions for different reasons. JMO.

I always wanted a baby pig
Good luck with her. We watch Charlotte's Web almost every night (my four year old loves it) so that's the first thing I thought of when I read the beginning of your post.
Okay, ladies. I just joined facebook. My friend wanted me to sm
join, but I can see how this could become a neat place to network with my friends and family members. I'm going to try to get my mom to join. I'm so cheesy. Anyoneo on facebook wanna join me? haha Or add me as their friend..even cheesier LOL
I TRIED to work, WANTED to work, but
So now I have to scramble for the rest of the week, trying to catch up on what I didn't do today. And of course, working today was in hopes of catching up on whatI didn't do last week. This job is a never-ending hamster-wheel of lunacy.
You just sit there with no work ? What if your baby cries ?
I was scheduled to work on X-mas and told I could not take off. I logged in my full 8 hours at the time I am normally scheduled. Got 2 jobs all day, total of 87 lines. I am not allowed to make up lines because I was logged when I should have been and just because there were no jobs. MQ should have approved my request off and allowed to use my PTO. Once again they won and my pay will suffer.
I am an American MT for MQ, not QA, ASR, and not an Indian MT. By the way, you don't have to be a brain surgeon to figure out the Indian MTs are keeping QA in business.
According to the guy who owns the 7-11 in my neighborhood they don't celebrate the holidays the same as the US. The WAWA closed early and 7-11 stayed open 24 hours Thanksgiving, Xmas, and New Years. MQ is way smart and I'm sure they get a big kick out of us USA MTs, sitting there laughing at us.
Not only is he treating you badly,
what kind of a man tells his wife and children to leave the home? My parents divorced when I was 11 and as I got older I realized it really was for the best. You need to show your children that it is not okay to disrespect anyone. You should go ahead and at least consult a lawyer and see what your options are.
I feel so badly for you - sm
It is not supposed to be that way! Your hubby sounds pretty selfish. If I told my husband I needed him to stand on his head and turn cartwheels for me to orgasm he would at least attempt it, especially after a year of marriage. Is everything fantastic with him other than the sex issue??
But it may end badly for the dogs
They may not be taken care of when he's off doing other things. I would tell him though that he needs to buy or pay for the dog food and put a time limit on how long you'll take care of them. You're a good person to make sure they're taken care of.
I'd say she has been hurt badly and deeply
besides having a questionable upbringing. It has been shown you can even be raised weird and still have great qualities - something happened to push those natural feelings towards other human beings way down inside her. If it were me - I would just kind of detach myself from her as she will most likely not change and you will grow to become bitter and you cannot change her. You are not going to get what you need as a friend from her. Sorry also about your son. Hugs!!
Help for badly damaged hair
Got a perm a couple months ago (bad mistake -especially once DH said - is that the way you wanted it?) Anyway...since then have gotten it trimmed a couple times to get rid of the dead. But it is like a rats nest, looks dry and very frizzy. I have tried...curling creams, leave in conditioners, mousse, putty, creams, and a wide range of hair products. The other night I tried mayo & egg. My hair still feels dried out. Actually just feeling it now, the part that has grown out is not dry, but the part where the perm is is dry.
Anyone have any suggestions. How I miss my beautiful locks of my youth (I'm 51). I used to have beautiful curls and the hairdressers always commented they never seen such beautiful natural curls before. Now it's just old, frizzy, no curls and no body, and a thinning spot toward the top of my forehead. Talk about feeling old. I did just color it because sometimes coloring brings back shine and makes it manageable, but didn't do anything but get rid of the gray. I'm ready to just go Sinead. Any suggestions much appreicated.
Not everyone reacts badly to chemo - sm
My daughter was not throwing up every half hour. In the 18 treatments/doses she received in her five month regimen she puked 3 times I think. She was nauseous, yes, but Zofran took care of that. She lost about five pounds in all but most/all of that was tumor. She did not lose her hair until the 4th month, but as I said then if that is the worst thing to happen we will live with it. Hair does grow back. Her hair grew back red again, not as firey red, but still a beautiful color, thicker now too, and grows so much faster now too, already below her waist now in the 3.5 years it has been growing back. Her hair was very, very slow growing prior to her chemo (about mid-back maybe short when she got sick at 5, with absolutely no haircuts except for bangs). Physically now she is in fantastic shape. She never developed footdrop or any side effects other than nausea and exhaustion, she had little stamina for 6 months to a year after chemo ended. Now however she is great, looks great, is in great shape and is a very active 9-y/o. She has been thru a lot and is very mature for her age, more so than my soon to be 11-y/o. She has a lot on her mind and still worries sometimes she will get cancer again. I feel bad that she thinks that way but it is something she will have to live with for the rest of her life, but at least she will have a life. Without the chemo she would not have had one and she knows that, she is a smart cookie. She also knows I am her mom and I love her to pieces and will always make sure she is kept safe and hopefully healthy. If she never needs it I will give her one of my kidneys presuming I can. ---but chemo is proven to work more than it fails, nothing is 100%, but at 13 the boy is too young to understand the ramifications. He will die, period, no doubt in my mind, if he does not do chemo. Yes, he may still die with it but his chances are much less and if they go with a "natural" treatment his chances are definitely a lot less. Very short-sighted of both of them I think. Before anyone attacks me, I like you am entitled to my opinion but before you attack make sure you have walked in my shoes. A child sick with cancer is a very scary thing.
Does he treat you badly in front of your children or is it
usually "behind closed doors?"
My husband wanted me to pick out what I wanted....sm
I narrowed it down to 2 choices and let him make the final decision on which style/carat size to get.
City of Angels. I couldn't leave the theatre I was bawling so badly. nm

a friend's b/friend died last year, drank, took vicodin...
Yes - does not work! Hoax if you ask me. MetaboLife doesn't work either.
The only thing that works for me is exercise and eating correctly! No quick fix, unfortunately.
No, it was me. I wanted to eat more and did so
I pushed and pushed until I was able to pretty well eat normal again.
This was my failure.
Thanks - I just wanted to be sure! (sm)
I suggested it and then kind of got worried about it! We use it too
My son never wanted one, but DD
got hers actually at WalMart. It was around $100 and very pretty with her birth stone and she wears it every day. Might not after she graduates, but that's up to her. Younger DS probably won't want one either, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
I did get the brochures from the jewelry stores at the mall, but they were unbelievably expensive.
Thanks, that was exactly what he wanted!

Is that all you wanted?
Just have someone agree with you? You said you will never post anything about yourself again. Well, you still did. I have a 17yr old and he will always have a key to my house unless he gives me reason to think otherwise. I still (at age 40) have a key to my parents house (why wouldn't I) what is the big secret? Really tired of this thread. Don't want to offend anyone but this seems to have really gotten out of hand. Just give him the key or don't!
You wanted to ask, but you did not?
For crying out loud, you should be MUCH more ready to forgive him his abusive language and "disrespect" if he was on drugs. Good grief. It sounds like you expect everybody to be perfect except you.
If he is clean now, he would probably be ashamed of how he acted. How many years have you let this rift go on, anyway?
That is exactly what my BF said, he wanted to know
x
Just wanted to add one more (sm)
thing. If your daughter does leave home, you MUST report her as a runaway to protect yourself.
You didn't mention, but are there other children in the home? If so, this is definitely something to take into consideration. If they are and they are being exposed to the constant "turmoil" this can be perceived in the eyes of social services as a form of "abuse" so you'd need to tread carefully.
Right now, take the emotional part out of it, take back control and know that a couple of years from now you will (hopefully) look back at this time and you and your daughter will have a few laughs. I remember when we hit that point and I just smiled silently thinking "I remember someone told ME back then I'd make it through this." You CAN handle this!
I always wanted to use one of these

I just wanted to thank you!
To the person who posted to informed us of the free photo books at snapfish.com sponsored by Oprah, I just wanted to thank you! I ordered one and my mom ordered one for herself too! They turned out great. I did a wedding photo book as I got married a year ago and still hadn't done a wedding album yet. It turned out amazing!!!
Did anybody else take advantage of this amazing offer?
You have done what you wanted to do - sm
so I would leave it at that. It is never to late to say you are sorry about something. I did the same thing, broke up with this guy badly, he was so in love with me and I always felt guilty about it, especially since he stayed single and did not date for about 12 years. He knew I felt bad about it though as my BF told him years after our breakup that I have always felt guilty/bad about how I handled things. But I was a stupid 16-y/o so what do you expect. Sometimes have regreted it as he is now a successful architect, but then again something just did not click, hence the breakup. He finally met someone and is married now about 8 years. We exchange Christmas cards but that is it. I never formally apologized to him but I know he knows how I feel/felt.
No, he wanted them because he - sm
was/is tired of the withdrawal method to be blunt about it. As I said he's only used 2 in maybe six months though (with me). Believe me I questioned him about it....and am being aware. I check all the email as he hates dealing with it, and the bills, he has no secret accounts, etc. He is pretty much an open book. His phone is a company phone and they would fire him if he used the phone for anything other than work or calling me, same with the company car. He is a real germaphobe as well, my kids call him Mr. Monk as a joke, he is not that bad, but sometimes it is, and I don't think would put me in the position of possibly getting a STD. He is also one of those men who would confess if he cheated as the guilt would eat him up. His honesty and fairness can be a pain sometimes, he won't even haggle when it is possible to like buying our house, and some property we have, did not even try to get it cheaper, same with our cars. I have to tell him to be quiet and let me handle the negotiating when I can. He has always been straight with me. Supposedly he cheated the 2-3 x because his wife used sex as a weapon/reward, and just was one of those women who really did not enjoy it....whether this is true of course I will never know. But I am not blindly stupid about his past, but do have faith in him that he won't do it again as we do have a good marriage, two great kids, and a good life together (and still a great sex life after 14 years). He has seen friends divorce and knows what it is like and does not ever want to go through it again, and he knows I am serious about making his life a living *ell if he ever did that to me. ---But the OP up there as I said before just needs to keep her eyes peeled. I would not let the letter wreck my marriage but I certainly would not blindly think, no my husband would never do that, foolish to think that way but it is a fine line to walk and you need to protect yourself but not let it wreck the marriage in case it is just a nut job out to cause trouble, like kids mailing them out to one house on each street in their neighborhood, who knows.
thanks!! Just wanted to be sure sm
So many recipes look so good, but I just don't have the time. I've been wanting them lately too. Kids coming home from college this weekend, so I wanted to make something special for them... but I have to work for a while until they get here... so I could't get too involved.
Thanks again!
Well, if I'd known what he REALLY wanted
Snip, snip! 
Just wanted to say thanks
I had some nice responses when I posted last week about having a really nasty UTI and being in excruciating pain. I had a fever despite analgesics, pelvic pain and generalized agony. They did a KUB and 2 CAT scans, with and without contrast. I got the results yesterday. I have at least one kidney stone. They think I may have passed more. I will NEVER go back to that NP again. My PCP has a NP, PA and himself. The PA is fantastic and my doc is wonderful. I can't believe they made me wait all weekend for the results when I had a stone, and let me suffer in pain. A few Vicodin may have helped. Also, the NP had told me I'd be feeling better in a day. I got progressively worse over 3 days. Now, I am finally starting to feel back to normal but there is still a 2 mm (small) stone lodged in my kidney. I just wonder if it is going to cause problems if and when it goes on the move. I was afraid to go to the ER for 2 reasons: 1. I didn't want them to think I was there for a wimpy reason. 2. They have so many people who go in there seeking narcotics, even though I never have, I was afraid they'd treat me like I was one of those.
Again, thanks to all that cared!
I have always wanted more than just
to sit around and do nothing. I just wanted more in my life than to stay stoned or be an alky. My best mind is not the best so if I fool around with other substances I am in a world of trouble. I have always wanted to work and be able to buy what I wanted, take vacations where I wanted and I hate, hate, hate to count money to find out if I have enough to buy a candy bar. If I had to work more than one job to have what I need, then that is what I do. I want to keep on working until I just go kerplunk out of my chair with my fingers on the keyboard. I just hope that is no time soon. I probably love making money more than I love spending it although spending runs a close second.
You dont work for them, you work for YOU. If you

Just a little ego there. It's a guy. She probably just wanted to sit with someone familiar.

What's your passion? If you could do anything you wanted to do, what would it be?

He did say he wanted to hold off since my dog sm
is young, only 1-1/2 years old. I'm a wreck from trying to keep on eye on him as much as possible. Then, when I get comfortable after he hasn't had one for awhile, another one occurs. Just 3 weeks ago we had 15 inches of snowfall and I let him and our other dog out to potty. Well, I called them in and found the little guy in a snowbank and the ned of our lot shivering with the endings of a seizure. I ran outside in my barefeet and got him out of the snowbank and carried him in. It just tears me up to watch it. LOL--it probably IS worse on us than the poor poochies.
advice wanted
i have typed radiology for about 6 years now. i use to work inhouse, but about 2 years ago i decided to work from home, thinking i could make more money. well, i was hired to type radiology, but naturally i did not start off doing that, they had me typing clinical notes. then finally they put me on a radiology account, but that had very little work. in the mean time, they were waiting for this new radiology account to get up and running and told me how great and easy it was and all that stuff!!! i ws sooo excited about this account, thinking YES!!! i can finally make some real money. well, here it is a year later and this is one of the most difficult accounts and i am not sure what the problem is. the doctors are not difficult to understand, i have macros and all of that good stuff, but i tell ya what....it is all i can do to get in 1000 lines, which is pretty pathetic being that i am use to getting in alot more lines than that. i do not believe it is me, but rather this account.
so i am not sure if i should look for a different job, and if so i really am not sure who i should look at. but like i said i have only worked from my home for about 2 years, and 4 years in house and would appreciate any advise from all of the vets that are out there, or anyone else with some good advise. i do not like being mislead, and being told an account is "CAKE", when actually the turn over of mt's on this account is great.
Maybe she just wanted to let the tattoo on --sm
the back of her neck be seen. ?? But, in my opinion, aside from her extreme behavior, she is one of few women who could go *bald* and still look decent. I think she looks good that way. maybe it was a prerequisite of the rehab center. just a thought.
No advice really. I just wanted to say
have fun on your vacation! I would love to get away for 3-1/2 weeks! :O)
If she wanted to leave she would have done so
It sounds like it's drama she is posting.
She is a grown woman and could have easily left him during church, while he was sleeping, at work, ect if she *really* wanted to leave.
If you wanted DS visitation bad enough, you WOULD get

Just wanted to share...sm
I worked at a physical rehab center for 5 years. As another poster stated, the amount of improvement depends on a lot of things. However, I saw people leave or return for appts with no noticeable residual, others who still had deficits but were independent. Those who were permanently impaired learned to adapt. There are some really cool gadgets out there! One thing I learned from working at the rehab center was determination really *can* pay off. It was inspiring working there.
IF your dad needs extensive therapy, the hardest part for YOU may be keeping him motivated. So, best of luck to your dad, you and the family. Let us know how things are going.
Just wanted to say Congratulations! nm

I wanted to watch but...
Ol' big mouth Oprah won't let anyone else get a word in...she thinks she knows it all.
My SIL wanted a divorce until
he got accepted into medical school. Then things changed rather quickly. The person he is married to now he met in med school and they graduated together and work together at the same hospital. She encouraged him and motivated him the entire time he was in school. He didn't start med school until he was 31 so it was a big decision on his part. Am so proud of him.
I know you are tired of me, but I just wanted to say
the pictures both of you sent are beautiful. The cat looks like one of my niece's. Lisa had a tonsillectomy Monday at age 45 and I am going over today on my day off to help her and to feed and care for the two cats! What a day this will be. The red one comes up to me and stares at me with those big yellow eyes and actually puts his nose against mine! I try so hard not to laugh, but I lose every time.
 
Wanted to but we decided on sm
The Phantom (have front row seats), Blue Man, and Etta James is going to be there on Friday and my friend HAS to see her. We're only there 4 nights and the first one we get there at 9:30, so we just didn't have enough time. Next time!
Opinions wanted
Ok, I am going to try to make this a short story. Last night, my 7-year-old and another kid were playing. I was watching them, and they were playing tug-of-war, so to speak, with a shoe, but they were both laughing and playing. Well, the other child got hurt and when we tried to figure out what was wrong, we found that the girl had recently had surgery on this particular finger and it had gotten hurt while they were playing. Fast forward to this morning - the child's finger is fractured. I am in the process of getting the mother's phone number so that I can call her. The child was under the supervision of my sister-in-law at the time, a friend of her daughter's.
So, my question, would you offer to pay the copay for the emergency room visit?
Thanks!
Wanted to share
My friend who is the companion to Sophia who I pictured in lower thread just made this video, she is an amateur, it brought tears to my eyes. She rescued Sophia from the woods behind her apartment building. She and others just got through rescuing another backyard chow too, she will be beautiful one day like Sophia too. Enjoy!
I always wanted to be short in HS, like
most of our little cheerleaders were. Now I see my height as an advantage, and i have to admit that even my freakishly long arms do come in handy. Funny how priorities change ...
No recipes here, just wanted to say...
 Glad you're gettin' in the spirit and feeling better!
I wanted to get antlers, but the only ones
I could find around the stores here were the small ones and I needed the bigger ones. I will look for them for him next year. How old is your boy?
