northern folks. I have never been west of Texas so I don't know how people out there talk. I guess since you are from out there and you say you guys then it must be used out there to.
Now I can't see my accent being as interesting as an English accent.
I'm glad you like southern accents because not everyone does. I have been made fun of by someone from Alaska. It was very insulting.
I have a friend who lives in Las Vegas and she is originally from Texas. But she doesn't really have an accent. Anyways her dads friend's son was staying with them. He is from Alaska. Well I called and asked for my friend and he answered the phone. When he put the phone down to get her I heard him making fun of my accent and that has stuck with me and I have been self conscious now when I am anywhere else besides in the south. He had never experienced a southern accent before and I guess he just make fun of what was different.

I'm not necessarily for
lowering the legal drinking age to 18, but if it's not then they should raise the legal age for killing in a war to 21! If an 18 year old isn't mature enough to handle a beer, I dare say he isn't prepared for what killing another person could do to him.
When he said the first, no not necessarily
that would have told me everything. Sure he is looking for someone. He gave all answers that say so, like none available (means he is looking) and havent found anyone risky. Lady, you have a problem. There would have been a lot of racket at my home.
Not necessarily
Doctors are generally proactive when there is any borderline blood sugars going on, but they usually say to watch the diet, do some exercise, etc., for prediabetes. I don't think it has to do with the low income status; a high blood sugar is a high blood sugar. If it is diabetes, it needs to be treated regardless of socioeconomic status.
Now, a sugar of about 300 is high, especially if she hadn't eaten in the hours prior to having the blood sugar taken. However, be sure to ask if she had washed her hand (or whatever part was tested) or used an alcohol swab before testing. When I worked the floor, I remember a nurse (not me!) who took a gentleman's blood sugar without cleaning it. It was in the 400s. She decided to do a retake with cleaning it properly, and it was below 100. He had residual food that we couldn't see on his hand from lunch, which showed up on the blood sugar. If your mom is eating candy or anything else and hadn't washed her hands, it very well could show up with a very elevated (albeit falsely) blood sugar.
When I saw you say morning headaches, I immediately thought of a sleep problem rather than diabetes. It's hard to say on the internet!
Medicines she takes could cause elevated blood sugars, too.
Let us know what happens! A true blood sugar of 300 needs followup.
Not necessarily disagreeing with you but
are we just ingrained to beleive that men make better leaders. I am no advocating Hil for prez, but I do believe that we do or will have in the future many women capable of running this country. I guess I am disagreeding wtih you, but JMO.
You wouldn't necessarily know but (sm)
First of all, it is very rare that is passed on to children from their mother before or during birth. Second, there are not really treatments for children - the treatments used for adults are so harsh that they feel children cannot handle them. I have it from a blood transfusion I got 27 years ago and have had no health problems from it, did not give it to my husband, have two children. Had my first child tested and that was negative. Have not had my second child tested at all. I will be happy to talk with you more about this if you would like to e-mail me.
they do not necessarily come from India
The emails may *look* like they come from India in the headers but know that spammers use proxies to camouflage their identity and camouflage their computers......
Open up the headers and forward the entire email with the headers showing to spam at uce dot gov. Only do this if these are in your personal or business email account. Not necessary to do it if you are using a generic email account such as hotmail or yahoo. That is the email for the govt to go after spammers.
Been getting these types of spam emails for 12 years now!! But I learned and I never give out my most personal email account except to the very chosen few....and as a result I never or very rarely get a spammed email in that particular account.
I can't necessarily say she should be released
but these people were basically brainwashed by Manson and definitely full of drugs.
Did she show compassion for Sharon Tate and her unborn child, no, but does that mean others can't show compassion. Is a lifetime or 37 years enough, not necessarily, but it is true that California is paying mega-bucks for her care. If she can't even set up what is her life going to be at home?
This is not an open and shut case. There are many ways to look at it, and I hope the judge making the ruling considers each and every avenue.
Hey, have at it. If you want a lazy, apathetic, not affectionate, doesn't listen, doesn't make
can reach him!!! Let me know if you're interested.
While breastfeeding in public does not necessarily
offend me, I think some discretion is absolutely necessary and some things are better done in private. God also made our bodies for procreating, but we wouldn't want to see that done in public, either. JMO. 
I wasn't necessarily the money
He was a self-made millionare already due to either mining or construction. I live just across the state line from WV so he was in the news a lot, but you are right, his life is certainly worse then when it was before the lottery. I am still going to play though.
He is old-fashioned, and that isn't necessarily an excuse
I am a Pastor's wife. Well, that will probably tell you volumes in itself. He is right-wing Lutheran, and I come from a moderate Lutheran background. Well, needless to say I know what you are going through except I am supposed to set an example to the ladies at church that the man is the leader of the house and we are not to publicly or privately question his decision, because that is the Biblical way. Well, sinner or not, I think this leads to men thinking they are always right, we are not their equal, we have no say, and it becomes a control issue. So... my heart is with you. I have yet to figure out this patriarchal thing. Believe me, I have voiced many times that I am good at some things, he other things and in discipline with children, we are equal not one better than the other. I think men are supposed to act responsibly not controlling and this is where the confusion comes in. When they refuse our opinion or disrespect us, I feel they are not living up to their role as protector and are acting like babies. But then again, they say I am a Pastor's wife who needs to go to Pastor's wife school, because my opinions are for equality and I have zero tolerance for domestic abuse. I am sorry if this does not answer your question or help you, but I do want to say I sympathize and you are not incorrect. There is no reason for a man to be controlling or to be rude, senseless and overbearing. When I figure out the answer to my situation I'll let you know. All I can say is to this day publicly and at home I stick up for equality, and I do not accept abusive male behavior and I don't care who doesn't like it. Zero tolerance from me. Leads to a tense household, but it could be worse, dishonesty is absolutely worse. Sorry for the soap box. Please hang in there and keep yourself safe and happy. :)
If an employee not necessarily. MTSO will
take advantage until you burn out or quit. Take it from me. They would even let someone quit so they can get a newer person (more "willing") to do all that junk even with errors, than keep someone who they feel is unwilling to be a doormat. For the people who can do the ESLs, well they will be taken advantage of or let go for most of the MTSOs. Rare that a company won't take advantage that way, even some of the "best" around here. Only 1 that I know of (where I work) will they reward for good workers by giving other types of reports which are easier to balance it out. And I can't say where because that company gets teased way too much on here. Otherwise, be careful if you are really good. They will let you go if you are not a practicing doormat and willing to make 3.00 an ESL report per half hour. No joke.
That's what I thought too....not necessarily means yes (nm)

I don't necessarily agree you should "wear them both out" SM
I am of the opinion that the 11-year-old should be punished as well because in my mind the 11yo probably was taunting or teasing or did something intentional to anger your 8yo and the 8yo responded. It's not fair to punish the 8yo because he chose to respond physically and not do anything to the 11yo who instigating the whole situation. The 8yo may view that as he's not allowed to defend himself or that you are playing favorites -- which I'm not saying you are -- I'm just saying both boys are behaving aggressively -- one is more PASSIVE aggressive than the other, but it's still aggression.
That's just my armchair psychology eval for ya! Good luck to you!
Not necessarily, many phone calls may have been made. (nm)

Nope, don't necessarily need family support
I'm raising my grandchild. This has split my entire family apart - no support from mom, sisters, ex-hubby, other adult child, parents of GC... NO ONE, and I'm single and getting no child support. I am developing an outside network of friends to compensate, but it has taken 18 months to get there. I just found a babysitter I'm going to start using this week so I can actually go have a meal by myself or see a movie now and then.
Sometimes in family matters, the only one you can count on is yourself and you just do what you have to do in order to do the right thing.
I'm all for legalization (though not necessarily in favor of taxation), but (sm)
...at least if pot were the drug of choice, rather than alcohol, we'd have a lot fewer belligerent people out causing fights (though, perhaps, the shoplifting stats for cookies, chips and pop might rise ).
Fewer DUI deaths ... have you seen how slowly and carefully a pot smoker drives? LOL.
It doesn't make me mad but it doesn't sound intelligent either (sm)
I am sure if all of those people who were aborted were living, some would be good and some would be bad, in the same proportion as there is good to bad now. Your statement makes no sense. So somehow the babies who were aborted were meant to be aborted because they were bad seeds? Whatever. Sorry, that's just silly.
It doesn't always work that way though - some give but it doesn't come back like that nm

That actually doesn't look that bad!
I love pork especially at a pig roast...by the end of the day the meat just falls off the bones it is so tender. Doesn't look too terrifying!
Doesn't take much to get you going does it? nm

If a dog doesn't have anything
to do, he will occupy himself. His thing is barking, which isn't fair to the neighbors. I had a neighbor who'd let his laborador bark for hours on end while I was trying to work. Almost drove me insane. To catch a break I'd occasionally take a rawhide, stuff all the cracks with peanut butter, and throw it over the fence. Ah, blessed peace for a while.
Cesar Millan has a website. I'm sure you can get lots of ideas there. It's all about exercise, discipline and then affection. You have to communicate your leadership and also use up his energy and teach him what it is you expect of him.
Why doesn't she get her own
It sounds to me like she wants you to pay her bills. She'll have to find a job and get a roommate like any one of us would. Why should you compromise what you have with your boyfriend when she'll be coming age very soon and can be out on her own? Let her know she's welcome to visit or whatever, but you'd rather see her pursue her own living quarters. 
That is my mom, she just doesn't get
it. She also thinks it is because of my husband. Nobody is good enough for me. Doesn't matter who it is. She has been telling everyone it is because she will not lend us money. My husband and I both work our butts off and have never borrowed money from anyone but the bank.
My brother and I have not been the closest and about two weeks ago, I called him. I now believe that a lot of reason why we are not close is due to my mother. He is four years younger and I was out of the house by the time he was 13. I always got my mother's point of view of what was going on with him and I should have known better. She told me he doesn't talk to her because she won't lend him money. He and I thought we didn't have a lot in common, so most of the communication was between him and my mom, then mom would "tell" me. He doesn't want her to see his son either, but being that he is divorced, his ex-wife allows her to see him. He said that she was always intervening in his life, no matter what it was. She kicked him out of her home when he was 15 and he has never looked back. He now has his PhD as a recent graduate and is very successful. We both believe it is a control issue with her.
That leads to this, I have researched grandparents rights as well. In Michigan, as long as the parents are married and fit parents, grandparents have no rights. If you were never married, separated or divorced or worse yet, proved to be unfit, then they have rights to see the children. Something to think about.
He doesn't like going out...
im at a loss because I am a social butterfly and I want the man that I love with me all the time. Don't get me wrong i LOVE my girls nights out, but I want him there sometimes. I think this is one of the main issues holding me back from getting married. I do respect that he doesn't like to dance, or go to bars... but he doesn't even like to go to my friend's houses... He is a little on the shy side and I have been with him 6 years (and we have known each other since we were in 7th grade - about 15 years-, lived down the street from each other...) And I can't see myself without him but I know this is keeping me from marrying him because I want that socialization. Even when we have a family I almost am positive I am going to want to have friends over with their kids... bbq's in the summer... stuff like that and he just isn't like me at all in that way. How do I deal with this? Oh yea even if he is willing to compromise I feel like he hates it though and that is still really hard for me to deal with. If he is just sitting there not having fun that's almost worse than him not coming at all... :( we are at a crossroads right now and that is why i am asking. we either stay together or dont...
I think the same way - if the OP doesn't
like the smoke, then she'd best look elsewhere. It's not fair to say "smoke outside" when they are paying the rent, too. Some people just amaze me!
mine doesn't...
I make Paula Deen's southern cornbread dressing...go to Food Network's site and look up the recipe. It's yummy, has no meat whatsoever, and makes a ton of dressing...HAPPY HOLIDAYS...
My mother's doesn't either...
Made with Pepperidge farm stuffing mix, white wine, mushrooms, celery, onions, chopped walnuts, seasoning. Not sure what else but it's different and delicious, still the best I've ever had!
Doesn't sound right
under those circumstances. Then whenever someone wanted new wall-to-wall they could just crap it up themselves and submit a claim and get a new rug.
At any rate, even if this is somehow true, the insurance company will only jack up your rate or drop you all together, so you're going to pay either way. And then you'll have a claim history and no other company will want you either.
I agree, it's more than just pot. Pot doesn't do that. sm
I have heard that taking Niacin helps clear out of your system faster as well as trying to "sweat" it out like he is. He also needs plenty of sunshine and you to be there for him. Rather than turning against him, stuck together with him and help him through it. It will make your relationship so much better in the long run and he needs the love and support of you to help him get to that place. Admire him for trying to break his addiction. It is very addicting. His rollercoaster of sweating, can't sleep, and emotional issues sound more related to crack/crank or methampetamines to me. I'd tell him in order for you to be supportive and helpful to him right now, he needs to at least be honest with you.
I can't tell the difference when something has MSG and when it doesn't. nm

I am not saying my hubby doesn't look
he just doesn't let me see him looking. Hey, I still look too.
He doesn't like the masks...
my DD has taken over the mask and my kids like to sleep with fans now too. I just turn them off before I go to bed.
She doesn't impress me though
Just something about her... She's like never smiling. Even when he gave her a rose last night, she just looks mad. Could just be the editing.. maybe there's something about her he does like. I think he might like Tessa... and Amber. I can't believe I let myself get into this show again.
With our experience, he doesn't need
We have bought several homes and I have been an IC MT the entire time. I have never had this ask of me. They just want to know what my income has been, as they know being self-employed can mean different amounts from paycheck to paycheck. Of course, if your husband is empoyed somewhere, they will put more thought into that
(they just don't say it). I had loan officers just start talking to my husband as if I'm not in the room just because they hear self-employed and know my husband is not....so they think he'll be the REAL one bringing in a paycheck. So, my husband brings them back in the game, as do I. We let them know both of our checks contribute to this mortgage, not just his. I've noticed the women loan officers are the worst with this, even though you would think they wouldn't be. We both have excellent credit scores and make sure this is the valid point we get across. Just make sure you are not overlooked as being an essential element in this deal. Generally, all the loan officer can go by is what you have made in the past few years, not what you may make in the future as an IC, because as an IC, you may not know what that paycheck will bring or if you'll even be with the same company 6 months from now. But again, I have never had this asked of me.
It all has to start somewhere doesn't it?

But that doesn't apply to every
situation. In my case I got hit with something that was out of my control. I see where you are coming from because most times it is irresponsible spending and debt accruing that causes the problem but not always.
My mom doesn't like when mine rub against her, either
and she doesn't like that the neighbor cats in the development kill the birds at their feeders and also the baby rabbits. I don't especially like that aspect about them either (our 2 stay in the house 24/7) but it comes in handy in the house when we have a mouse. I know of people who go out of their way to hit a cat on the road and I think that is so disgusting. Makes me sad because of how much I love my cats.
What is funny though is that my male cat gravitates to my mother whenever she is here. He will just sit by her chair and stare at her with his big, golden, unblinking eyes. It really freaks her out!
He doesn't really look like he has aged all that much
in the last 10 years or so. I think he looks almost exactly the same as he did way back in his ER days!
Ugh, doesn't sound
too fun! Don't want to go to the hospital. That's why I figure it's past time to quit. My son is scared of me dying anyway. I told my husband no need in making his fear come true!
Why doesn't your son work? (sm)
I understand with all those children it may not even be worth it for the mom to work (child care would take all her earnings) but why doesn't your son work? Sounds like my sister. She has been living off of my parents for years.
It doesn't look sore, red or anything. Just
xx
How do you know he doesn’t like you/kids
You said he kept things under wrap. Your mother should not have to choose between you/your children and her husband. How old a person is he? Other things going on with him/them that you know of? Lot of people in older years PUT UP with children- that does not mean they want to be around them. I know you said you did not stay at the home with them. Do not ask your mother to choose, though. That is probably the reason she has not answered you. You as well as your siblings probably picked the ones you want and may not believe this but if left up to your mother and she had to choose, it might not be you and your family.
Thank goodness he doesn't eat
anything in front of the window, he just swoops, grabs and goes. He uses my front yard as sort of a "drive thru" I guess. He is a very pretty and majestic bird. I've tried to get pics of him, but my camera doesn't zoom far enough.
We also have Great Horned Owls that live in our pine trees out back. All through the summer I would hear them hooting. So I staked out the window one night so I could maybe get a peak at them and I actually saw one of them fly out of the tree, it was huge!
I just feel bad for my little feathered friends. I guess that's nature though.
Sorry for rambling, love to talk about my nature.
Doesn't bother me
For some women it takes more than soap and water. Not a biggie.
Doesn't bother me at all either
Some people need it. It's really no big deal.
Doesn't everybody use foil now?
I have never seen the other process done; just heard about it. I'm sure the foil is less physically stressful to the hair.
I bet the OP doesn't consider it "nothing."

No, doesn't take masses...just 1.
I think you're thinking of the voting thing...I'm talking about the straight up report now button.
I think you are the one who doesn't "get it"
There are a lot of things wrong in this world, causing our kids to be messed up.
I think taking religion out of schools is really low on the list, and I can't believe you have convinced yourself that is THE reason. No, actually I can believe it. Religion causes people to be irrational. The middle east is proof of that.
If David A doesn't win, then there is something
definitely wrong. The young man has "perfect pitch" -- an accomplishment which only approximately an elite 1,000 people possess in the US and Europe. Definite childhood prodigy if I have ever heard one.
