I don't know, this post down below has me thinking. What are your thoughts, woman to woman. sm
If your spouse came to you and said he was having an affair, would you be more upset if it was with a male or female? For me, definitely a female! If it were male then I would think that it had absolutely nothing to do with me and everything to do with him. I would be devastated if he were with another woman. Another poster below said she would be more upset if he were found with a male. What about you?
What a lovely post. Hugs to you too! nm

What a lovely post. Mu hubby and I sm
are in charge of our church youth group. We and the youth are in charge of the messages on our church sign. I am going to use what you pastor said for the sign.
what a wonderful post. sm
i've never experienced anything you have mentioned, but i think you are a very strong person for what you've been through and turning yourself around. i'm sorry for what you've been through, but i'm glad that you have the faith to overcome. just wanted you to know i was touched by your post. God bless. 
Wonderful post.
You painted such a beautiful picture of your dogs and have a big heart. They need a voice in this world. Yours rings loud and clear!!
What a wonderful post. I truly thank you
for sharing what I know from experience is painful to recall. I have literally turned myself inside out to please my sister, and for months we have been like best friends, and because I forgot to bring an envelope of pictures along with me on Saturday night to her place which I had for one week she screamed at me. I told her she owed me an apology and she never would say it. She said she was not wrong, and that I am horribly irresponsible and the WHOLE FAMILY agrees, even my mom. I hate her right now. I am also a Christian and I know that I need to forgive, but it will take time. I do not deserve to be treated like that. I have done more for her than anyone else. I am alone and she is my only sister. If our relationship is gone and I don't go to family functions, I am totally alone. This is really hard. I feel for you, too. You are very strong. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing this with me.
Thank you for such a wonderful post. nm

Thank you so much for your wonderful post.
To be honest, when I first started reading it, I was like UH OH...and felt you were not recommending the military, but your post was very nice and diplomatic. It's funny how no matter how old your children become you never stop worrying or being a mom. The only thing that gives me hope is that this is the first time in her life that she has been positive about anything and focused. I have to believe, or want to, that this is a sign that there is what she should be doing in her life. We've gone from no hope to something very positive. My heart just tells me it is the right career choice for her. So, thank you again for sharing your story and good and the bad.
Wonderful post.

Absolutely wonderful post. I never thought
of that. So wonderful to see so many perspectives on this board.
I agree with the post above, some lino is wonderful sm
and be clear, there real live linoleum and then there is vinyl flooring. REAL lino looks EXACTLY like anything they want to make it look like. Vinyl flooring won't look like anything other than what it is. I have kids and pets, so I have VINYL throughout the house with washable area rugs. I'd love hard wood or real lino, but sadly both are equally pricey and God knows, we don't make money in this business anymore.
Sorry misread your post - as for a woman - sm
doing something like this, I am sure they could but not the norm for a woman, though I know many women shake babies, so that I do not find hard to believe. I remember getting frustrated when my kids were babies (19 months apart), going outside to just scream, did that a couple times, once I tried to break one of those toy baby doll strollers, as I was having a bad day and had to vent and I would never hurt my kids, the thing just would not break, but at least I got to vent my anger and frustration in a somewhat healthy fashion. I think in all I had 3 meltdowns, 2 screaming ones, and one the beat the crap out of the stroller (which didn't break). Any woman who says they never had those feeling is either an unemotional droid or a saint.
That is a totally ridiculous post. This woman wants to see her son regardless. nm

Just wanted to comment on the wonderful quote at the bottom of your post!
xx
I hate to even post this but here in my own town is a black woman with the name
Shithead. I am not kidding you. It is pronounced (Sha-theed). I am not making this up and I am embarrassed to even write that. It sounds like a pretty name, but spelled horribly.
Reading your post it is clear the love you gave this wonderful animal SM
thoughout her life. You were together for many years and you gave her a wonderful life. Please try to always remember that. A woman who cleaned for my mom cleaned my apartment once and when I showed her a dog collar that I have that my darling Westie wore I broke down. This woman knew my Westie and loved her, too. I cried and said I had some feelings of guilt that I was dealing with. This wonderful woman said something to me that might help you now. She said
"Just think of the life you gave her. Now think of the life she might have had if she had fallen into the hands of someone who did not love her." That really helped me a lot. I hope in time it will help you, too. God Bless you.
Okay you have touched a nerve with me
I have a HUGE issue with the way disability/welfare is set up. I have written several letters to my representatives. I happen to live in Indiana and I have learned a few things.
Once a person in Indiana is eligible for disability, they will NEVER review that person's case...... unless someone has reported them and even then, that is not a guarantee. They do not check to see if they are making followup appointments or any such thing.
It is very hard to disprove mental disability. I personally know someone who went in and said they were "hearing voices" and started to receive disability benefits within a few months. My father had COPD, cancer, and other health conditions that kept him from working; keep in mind that he worked 35+ years in the same place, not like he didn't have a good work ethic. He applied and was turned down twice. It took the help of an attorney and after two and a half years, he was finally approved.
I was also told that the turnaround for the ones who decide who receives and doesn't is unreal. It was conveyed to me that there is not a panel of people who do the decision making... it is one person who makes the decision. This person may be very new and not sure what to do. One person may be quick to deny and one may be quick to allow benefits.
When I made the suggestion that EVERYONE who is on disability be required to routinely take a drug test, I was informed that the federal law has allowed each state to make that decision. Indiana has yet to do that. My thinking is, sure it is costly to do a drug test but you figure the cost of that would be a whole lot less than the cost of helping those who are not helping themselves. Let's see if the ones who should be taking certain prescription drugs are indeed taking them and let's see who is involved with illegal drugs and IMMEDIATELY drop them.
I am sure there are a whole lot out there who are on disability or welfare, collecting $$$, receiving food stamps, lliving in government subsidized housing, free healthcare, prescriptions, etc.
I was told by one representative that everyone who has concerns NEEDS TO WRITE TO THEIR REPRESENTATIVES and voice their concerns, lobby, etc. I was also told that those emails that have people add their names too, etc. don't carry much weight. They want to hear personal experiences, concerns, etc.
I URGE EVERYONE OF YOU TO WRITE TO YOUR REPS.... and voice any concerns you have.... talk to your friends, family, etc....
I apologize for any typos in this... I am short on time... as I HAVE TO WORK. ;)
Now I am tearing up. Kids are often touched by
affects them. I know - my daughter has gone through it several times in high school-"Wow Mom, I met her once or twice and she was really nice" about the poor girl who was reported missing and then several days later - yes days - found in the laundry room of her appartment building.
It makes me feel good to know the youth of which you speak and my own daughter and her friends, and hopefully a whole lot more kids out there actually have feelings and care about others, not just themselves -which is how its seems to be these days.
never touched Kook Aid in my entire life....

Credit Score will hardly be touched by closing them

Oh lovely.
I have been really sore this week but a couple day ago I also hit my head on a plant hanging over the couch, then fell off the couch, tripped over/stepped on my cat and then fell on the scratching post. I'm assuming I'm sore from that.
Oh, how lovely of them...

Laptops are lovely!!
Actually if you go to a best buy or something similar they can usually direct you to what your looking for. But personally speaking, most hotel rooms have ISP access, however most are dialup. You can purchase wifi card through sprint, tmobile and I think cingular and you pay them a fee to use their service. Usually when you sign up for one of those you get a free wifi card to insert into your laptop. Its a plug and play device so usually no software is required. Good luck and make sure you buy an extended warranty with your laptop!!
That was really lovely. I am sorry for your loss.SM
Ironic since I am close to Keys. I wish I could help. Think of her spirit being alive in you, her children and grand-children.
What a lovely idea! nm

And a lovely thought at that. nm

What a lovely letter...sm
Thanks for sharing it.....My Mom's 1004 miles away.... I'm sure you've called her by now to get all the "how to's" for your first turkey and all the trimmings...She'll be delighted to give you all the secret family recipes....Have a great Thanksgiving!  Cat
In lovely Montana. :-) nm

Just outside of KC,Mo. with a lovely 8 degrees this morning. nm
Uhhh...ummmm...okay then...lovely...
yuck
Thanks everyone! I went with 2 lovely hostas. I appreciate all suggestions. I did sm
find some pretty ferns growing on the property and will try to put those in there too! The bathtub is actually quite large and needs more than 2 plants. Thanks so much!!
Very lovely picture, Misha
You were a beautiful bride. Your sis looks great in her costume! I have a twin also, but she's six years younger than me . . . just needed to gestate a little longer than I did, I guess. 
Thanks for sharing!
Can I come live with you - yours sounds lovely.
Yours is real. Mine is semi-real.
Ohhhh, that's lovely! I guess I should consider myself lucky...sm
My account (for almost 9 years now) is a large children's hospital, but I've yet to hear "snot" or "boogers" dictated. They usually just say "nasal discharge" or "mucus."
Speaking of which, is anyone else grossed out by those Mucinex commercials? I don't know why, because I don't have a weak stomach, but those commercials with the green, jumping, talking, dancing mucous/phlegm balls make me sick! I can't change the channel fast enough. It might be a great product, but I'll never buy it. YUK!
Eeewww. What a disgusting topic. Sorry!
What a lovely idea. I can do this at a park that she and I both took my children to when they were
!
woman to woman talk sm
This has nothing to do with being a christian, it has more to do with group dynamics. I have to deal with it all the time with 6 women in an in-law situation. They are narrow-minded Bible-thumping bigots.I happen to be of another "denomination" and I do attend every function of theirs, weddings, funerals, all of it, receive their communion. I have had my parents die, lost my younger sister and many things happen where they could have reciprocated, yet they will not "step foot" in my church. So where is all their faith, they certainly are not practicing the do unto others. I can relate, it is a horrible way to live. Thank God, I had psychology courses and know about group dynamics, I am in the middle of a herd mentality. I could go on forever, they even have "interventions" when someone in their family wants to marry or date someone not from their denomination. They are awful. I know your pain! It's not your imagination, they hide behind their cohesive "numbers game," one speaks and all the others agree in unison. No one has a chance against this mob. It's tough to be your own person, lots of tears. And guys think it's all in our heads - NOT! Hang in, perhaps you'll have a Divine Intervention somehow.
Kangaroo. cat woman or wonder woman?

LMAO! Yes, that's a lovely suggestion, as a matter of fact.

How wonderful
You have a great brother...and he must feel he has a great sister :)
Have a great Thanksgiving!!!
Wonderful!
You have a right to be proud! Lots of teenagers are really caring and so sensible. Speaks loudly of how he was raised. GOOD FOR YOU!
Isn't wonderful to know there are still some wonderful
teenage boys out there. My son just turned 17 and he sounds a lot like your son. He loves so many of our Christmas traditions, but at the same time is a typical teenage boy. My son loves to cook and loves to help decorate, just don't tell anyone.
Wonderful - thanks
That is wonderful - thank you very very much. I am sending to all my family and freinds.
Wonderful! I have all I need and most of what I want.
NM
Wonderful!
Thanks for the tip. I'll have to watch for it.
This is wonderful.
I forget the man's name right off the top of my head, but he has a book about this; ironically enough you can "charge it on your card" to purchase! So, kind of funny there! I checked out the book at the library instead, figured out what to do, and still have not gotten around to it. I need to get it all down on paper, and I've asked for $200.00 a month extra from hubs for what he gives me towards bills (he pays our entire mortgage) and I tend to to take care of the rest. However, he does put his own gas in the car and treats us for different odds and ends, fast food, movie night, day at the beach, you get the picture...
The only problem I see with this is the way I get paid. I am an IC. I only have one online company that truly pays me on time. My other accounts I bill every other week but they don't always pay right away (could be a week lag sometimes) and another I only get once a month. Also, the work fluctuates. So, I may make $1.400.00 a month with one account but if the docs go on vacation, that can bring it down to say $600.00 a month.
So while your plan, I agree, is wonderful and yes it does work, and yes I'm going to give it a try, doesn't always pan out "budget wise" income wise for me personally being an IC and having fluctuating work. I might add the online company I range anywhere from 14,000 to 20,000 lines a month given the work is there, I work from a pool; no line quotas, and no set schedule. So, I need to be on my toes to grab the work. I do have a lot of accounts to choose from, but when I go out twice a week to pick-up work, I am away from the computer, hence losing some of those jobs I could have grabbed. I check all day long until 11 p.m. to make sure I take all that I can.
Sorry this is so long, but I think that's where I am so "floundering" on this "budget" thing where I am never sure if I'll have "my end of the budget" every month. I don't have a set income, but I would not trade this profession for anything; been doing it 20 years, and love it and love being at home with the kids (school age), but still...
You tat - how wonderful
When my mom was alive she told my her aunt tried teaching her how to TAT but she would go so fast my mom couldn't keep up. I've got the tatting needle, shuttle and "tatting for beginners" book but I just was never able to get it. I do like to knit, though I have to admit the last time I knitted I was in 4H in school and made slippers.
I do cross stitch too.
