middle-aged
The only time the kids are allowed to hang out at my house is on my days off.
If my kids are bored, they do some of the chores I would have otherwise had to do like cooking, cleaning, fixing things around the house, etc.
As far as I am concerned the cure for boredom is WORK and the cure for work is play, in that order. Why should they goof around and eat your food while you bust your tail? Put them to work or send them home.
My son also volunteers for the local museum when he becomes too self-absorbed for anyone to stand him. That snaps him back into shape! and you are right,the dropping/picking up is a giant pain.
And not that it is true, but my son says that the "mall" is where they are hooking up in the dressing rooms, so I don't think I would pick that as an alternative....just me...
I guess I'm middle aged at 55 but
I snow skiied 7 hours in 2 days, plus I'm a certified open water scuba diver. I walk 20 miles a week and I can run rings around my sons who are 30 and 25... Age is just a number!!! susan
For those middle aged ladies on here, if you are
5' 3-1/2" and a medium build what weight do you like to keep yourself at without looking too gaunt or too heavy.

Anyone have any suggestions for meeting nice fellows more middle aged. I have tried
the dating sites and am not too impressed with those people. It seems like most of them have serious cash flow problems from so many divorces, etc. Not looking to support someone for sure.
I'm in the middle of book now, very good!
I've always liked her and wanted to read more about her and Phil, how they met and all. I can relate in some ways with the alcoholic father. I'm going to try to finish it tonight or over the weekend, at least!
curious, what good margerine is tasty?

I can't stop laughing....Whoopi in the middle? If she is in the middle,rush limbaugh is very far
She is further left than Rosie.
Good. and weight is not the only thing--sm
that causes the conditions mentioned. I have a big kitty too, and he really does not eat that much, but a mixture of one small 4 oz can of wet and perhaps about 1/2 c of dry per day. he is just a big cat, weighing 14 pounds at last visit. He is very timid and does not do much for play or exercise. Sometimes kitties are just big, like humans, and it is not always diet that makes them that way. I, too, would be very apprehensive in changing pet food right now. I love my kitties too and so far, am thankful that their food has not been one that has been recalled. Changing vets is easier than changing doctors, but if you are not happy, then move on. Personally, if one tried to give an attitude of forcefulness with me, vet or doctor, I would be gone in a heart beat. You may find a much nicer one down the road. Give your kitty a pet and mommy knows best. lol.
Not a good way to lose weight

I have to weigh-in on this - sm
I was truly a wild child in my youth. I partied, got in trouble though never arrested but I probably should have been once or twice. I got caught drinking, smoked pot a few times but was too scared to do anything worse than that.
I was a rebel. I was also a mother before I was 19 and that's when I realized something, I was never ever going to lie to my kids about anything if it meant I may prevent them from making the same mistakes I did.
My son is 21 years old now and I have three other kids not far behind him with my husband (not my son's father but he raised him.)
My biggest fear when the kids hit their teens was that one of them would end up becoming a parent as a teenager and have to struggle as I did. I don't want that for any of my kids.
When my kids ask me about things, I tell them the truth. They may or may not be shocked but I also tell them that I am not proud of the bad things that I did.
My husband disagrees and wants the kids to think he was the perfect child. In my opinion, that is not doing them any favors. Why lie?
If a parent lies and says no, they didn't do this or that, the kid is really looking for guidance.
Who better to give a life lesson than a parent?
I can and will say, yes I did that, I'm not proud of it, but I did and I hope you have better self-control and judgment than I did.
I speak very frankly with my kids and always have.
Reasonable advice from past experience is what I offer them and they know they can confide in me. I have had no trouble so my theory has served me and my kids well so far.
Muscle does not weigh more than fat.
A pound is a pound. The difference in muscle is less dense than fat and takes up less room in your body.
Weigh too much, laughing as I read
because that is exactly what I tell even my physician if they want to weigh (which I do not, by the way!) because figure unless I am getting anesthesia and they want to make sure about amount, do not really need to know that. Just take a guess..
great picture and you weigh ??? *ROFL
imagine that description on a 400 lb person.....
no offense - just struck me so funny *LOL*
Have you ever heard of the Weigh Down Diet program? sm
It's not really a diet. It is a matter of changing the way you eat, not what you eat. Feel free to e-mail me and I'll give you some specifics.
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!
Exactly - why hasn't Richard aged?
Or did they think showing him with longer hair when Ben was young would make him look young, too? Well, it didn't. He looks exactly the same. And does he wear eyeliner?? (Richard)
Ben is definitely twisted. I am sure Juliet is aware of his history and that is why she does not like him and shows no loyalty to him, other than just enough to keep him thinking she is still on his side. I don't know why she and Jack had to keep that secret from the rest of the group, though. If they had just said, hey, Ben is a psychopathic megalomaniac and he would kill Juliet in a hot minute if he thought she had turned on him, so she's playing along until we can take care of him, well, I think the group would have supported them. Now there are all kinds of hurt feelings and jealousy and divided loyalties. But I guess that's the point - drama, drama, drama.
And what kind of hold does Ben have over Richard and the others? It sounds like he is as afraid of Jacob as everybody else.
This just occurred to me - a lot of Polynesian islanders believe there is a god in volcanoes that makes the lava spew out when he is angry. What if there really is one? Named Jacob, maybe?
Just a WAG. 
3 kids, but 2 school aged
1. What ages are your kids? 16yo DS and 18yo DD (and 21yo DS)
2. Do they have their own cell phone? Yes, 16yo has a tracfone and 18 yo DD has a Go phone
3. Do they have their own TV and or computer in their room? If so, are there set hours they're allowed to use these: No. We have 1 good computer we all 5 used to share, but that is mostly DD's now that DH and I each got lap tops and oldest DS built a desk top for youngest DS for Christmas. Oldest DS also has a lap top that he bought himself. Nobody has a TV in their room, not even the grown ups. No time limits on use at their ages, but they don't spend near as much time on the 'puters as they did when they were younger.
4. Do they receive an allowance? If so, are they required to do chores to receive this? They all have jobs, but the youngest 2 get $5 a week for bringing in wood for the wood stove and burning the trash. Plus youngest DS gets extra here and there for all the help he gives his dad and grandfather on the farms. Their room are their own business at this point. I just put the laundry on the bed and keep the doors closed.

As for our house, here's the answers. Kids are 15 and 8. 15-year-old has a cell phone and pays her bill. 15-year-old has a TV. The kids share 1 PC that is where we can see what they're doing on it, and they're limited to no more than an hour a day on it if it's a school day. We do have parental controls in place. They don't receive an allowance but they are aware of a special chores list that they can choose to do extra things around the house to make money. They are required to keep their rooms and bathrooms cleaned, as well as alternate cleaning up the kitchen after dinner.
I am only 5Ƈ". When I weight my desired weight (sm)
my face looks bad - drawn. I like myself best when I weigh about 140-150.
For those people with school aged children when do vacations start to dwindle and you start getting
ready for school. I usually take a vacation when things slow down at the end of Summer and I am just wondering when in August most people start getting into school things and less vacations are taken.
I would say 39 is middle age
since average life expectancy is around 78 or so. Doesn't mean I like it :)
I don't know about that...middle age 60-80?
Meaning most people live to like 120-160? WOW! lol I don't know what everyone else is thinking by these replies but I always thought middle age meant the "MIDDLE" of one's lifetime...doesn't it????
Right in the middle of
Carol Burnette on The View. I live in Virgina and am not very concerned about the NY governor. Although I do think he should resign.
Middle of AL - nm

yes we sure are here in middle America!
So do my folks on the w. coast, and our celeb friend in Tx, its great! Dancing is an art form, and i am intriged by the quickness and methods that these newbies learn the dances, how well they perform them, how their character plays into it, etc. Love it!
TLR look towards the middle of this page
there is a post up above for you!
i got caught in the middle
of a redneck area. needless to say, I fled the area and the boyfriend. too much for me. I'm a yankee, and so is he, but he was use to the so called rednecks. I do love the more cosmo parts of south. Can't help it!!
Here in middle Georgia, we are just
happy not to have the 100s. Reasonable now at 76 today. Gosh, fall… oh, yes, that is when the leaves all fall.
In the middle of the CA fires
We definitely need prayers. I am in Thousand Oaks, California, inland between Malibu and fires on the other side - Piru, Canyon Country, Stevenson Ranch. Breathing is almost impossible. The first day we were clouded completely in white smoke and ashes everywhere. All the windows have been closed for days, and still I find fine dust and ash all over inside the house. I have been here in this town for 26 years, and have never ever seen winds like these. It is unbelievable. We get a break in the wind, and the sky clears, but just when you think it is over, there is another fire erupting somewhere nearby. So far, no fires in the immediate town, just smoke drifting over to our city. We need prayers. If I am a nervous wreck I can imagine how heartbreaking it is for the people who have lost everything to the fires. They say maybe this will let up tomorrow. I can't image another day of this. The winds are so strong, my yards are destroyed. All the flowers in the beds are down, my vegetable garden is ruined, and there are tree branches all over my roof. This too will pass.
Yep, smack dab in the middle.
Near some joint called Bangor.
My husband took a nap once in the middle of the day
and by 8:00 p.m., his wife, in her early 40s, had died. It was completely unexpected. She was not sick prior to this happening.
That time he was right. I can count a zillion other times when his predictions and dreams were dead wrong.
Nothing with UFOs, sorry. I remain a skeptic.
liar is my middle name
or is it fraudulent, deceitful, duplicitous, or two-faced? I kind of like the sound of two-faced. It's perfect for me.
In the middle of the night?
They'd come in every night, have a noisy destructive party, and leave come dawn. Does the animal control in your area work 24/7? Ours doesn't. We tried blocking all entrances to the basement and they'd dig around it and get in anyway, making it clear they wouldn't take no for an answer. Was I supposed to blast music down my ducts all night, every night? I don't think so, my sleep is more important. IMO its less "cruel" than hunting for "sport". I was protecting my property and my peace of mind. I also have no problem killing bats that get in my house, and trapping smaller animals and relocating them elsewhere. If animals are outside, I don't mess with them. If they come in my house, I have a right to get them out by any means necessary.
If that is middle-class then I have to be
below the poverty level.
The older I get, the higher *middle age* becomes. lol. nm

...myself. Actually a size 12 but still too large around the middle. nm

wait until middle school!
This is easy-cheesy stuff. In middle school, they get really catty. Glad those years are over. High school has actually been a dream in comparison.
Well, I'm right in the middle, not skinny just healthy
I've never really been skinny, I'm too curvy to ever be skinny, but I'm at a healthy weight (bmi of 21) and very happy with my body. I pretty much eat whatever I want, just know I need to exercise more if I eat high-calorie/high-fat foods. I've been overweight but was miserable and decided to make a change, definitely much happier now.
whoopi is in the middle - not left, not right...
Middle here, too, for everything so you don't scorch the bottom or

I keep dreaming about going to a funeral and in the middle SM
of the service the deceased gets up and falls on ME! No kidding. Two nights ago TWO of them in one night! What the hay does that mean??? I need your wisdom and guidance!
Okay, it's the middle of November, where's Jericho?? sm
Yes, I looked online but couldn't find any chatter about it except I guess the writer's strike may be the cause for the delay in airing the new season. I've been waiting very patiently.... Anyone know when we might expect to see it air??
What exactly is considered Middle Class?
Unless I heard wrong last night, during the debate, $250,000 is considered "Middle" class. I don't think so.
Anyone?
Yes, especially me (oldest) and my middle sister. (sm)
Main difference is she's taller. One time she was visiting me and we went out for lunch. A lady came up to us and asked, 'Are you identical twins or fraternal twins?' She sure was surprised to learn that we weren't twins at all, just regular, run-of-the-mill sisters!
middle school kids who need
The library will accept volunteers at age 11. I would go sign up today.
Every other place has insurance restrictions for age.
All the camps around here fill up in February or March, but I would still try to find her something fun to do. Meeting other kids at camp may cost you money, but when she is there she is not thinking about money, just being with the other kids her age.
Or when they leave their cart in the middle of the parking lot
when the cart corral is right nearby. One time, I saw a lady unload her groceries and then just give her cart a push across the parking lot. She saw me watching her and jumped in her car quick and drove away. That's just laziness.
Putting in middle initial so can differentiate
the difference is that apparetnly this law is to have women see a fetus growing and thinking this will change their mind by seeing the ultrasound. My heart told me what to do and my mind certainly was such that I had more sense than to bring a child into the world I could not possibly care for financially to start with. I never worried a minute or a day with my decision. I can live with most all decisions I have made in my life very easily.
It is very common in the south to keep your maiden name as your middle name. But, I sm
was talking about not taking your husband's name at all.
I use middle rack unless large cut that needs more room.

People who constantly interrupt me in the middle of a SM
sentence. A friend called last night at 10:45 (that's another one . . . she doesn't work, is home all evening and decides to call all the time when I am going to bed), and I tried to finish a sentence three different times. She kept interrupting and yelling something to her husband (loudly in my ear). She finally finished talking to him and then said "Go on. . . " I was just quiet for about 20 seconds waiting for the another interruption. Bad habit and very, very annoying. Sweet person, but drives me nuts.
