Wait a minute...
This bride is 65, second wedding, and I assume wearing white? I wonder. Also I believe etiquette says a bridal shower is not proper for a second wedding and probably especially not for a couple in their 60s ! which poster mentioned. Also, etiquette says the bride and groom or family should pay to put the guests up at the hotel if they have to come from out of town which poster also mentioned.
This old gal is obviously not Miss Manners, herself.
: )
Wait a minute...
Excuse me, but my son just turned 8 and this girl is almost 8. I have since found out that she did this to another boy last year (not as hard) and my son also said she will walk up to him and hyperextend his finger back and twist them, as well as flicking him with her pencil when she gets mad. I know of yet another student that had problems with her last year (an older boy) who felt bullied by her.
To me it just seems there is a pattern here that is only getting worse. It could have been his eye. Would you say it was no big deal then?? Where is she getting this behavior from?
And yes, I think she needs special help in the classroom if she has behavioral issues. This is way different than kids fighting over a ball on the playground. This is a private Catholic school and they don't have the funding for extra programs for behavioral and special needs. In addition, their code of conduct that they recite everyday after prayer and the pledge of allegiance is that they will "uphold the sanctuary for themselves and others."
Wait a minute. She's only 7-8 weeks old...sm
You've only had her a week, and you expect her to be housetrained already? And you're already thinking about giving her up because she isn't? WOW!
Boy are you in for a surprise - if you keep her, that is, which at this point I'm not sure is the best thing for her, unless you're willing to adjust your expectations and do a bit of a 'crash course' in puppies/dogs. And please be honest with yourself, because if you don't keep her, it's much easier to find her a home while she's still young.
First of all, it's totally unrealistic to expect no 'accidents' from such a young puppy. She is *very* young. In fact, it sounds like she's doing remarkably well for being so young!
It isn't *physiologically* possible for a puppy to be 100% pottytrained until about... 4 months of age, if I remember correctly. They don't have the muscle control to hold it more than... 4 hours, I think it is? (I'm going by memory, so I'll have to look that up.)
So, my next question is, how long does she have to stay in the crate w/o a potty break? Because it is extremely unusual for dogs to soil their living area - unless they either have no choice and can't physically hold it anymore, (or if they came from a puppy mill/pet store where they had no other choice but to go in their cage and so get in that habit), OR if her crate is so large that she can go in one section and then go off to another section and be away from it. (If that's the case, you can use a crate divider.)
But as young as she is, she probably just can't hold it for more than a couple hours at a time. I had a great site for potty training stuff. Let me find it and post again later. It does s/l you're doing everything else right as far as keeping her on a regular schedule. For now, I'd suggest that she commes out of the crate for a potty break at least every 2 hours, or immediately if you see her start to sniff around in her crate or otherwise act like she's going to go in her crate.
BTW, she should have stayed with her mother and littermates until *at least* 8 weeks of age, which tells me you didn't get her from a reputable breeder if they let her go so young. That's a shame, because a reputable breeder would be available to mentor you and answer any and all questions you might have along the way (for life), like about crating and pottytraining. A rep. breeder would have also asked you a lot of questions and would not have let you have one of their pups if it would not be the right breed for you and your family, or if you're maybe just not cut out to be dog owners. (That kind of screening saves everybody a lot of heartache, rather than getting the puppy and then not keeping it, having to find it a new home, etc.) But that's neither here nor there at this point. I just always recommend a reputable breeder, rescue, or a shelter. It makes me angry that people will sell a puppy to someone and then just "leave them hanging" so to speak, because it's the puppy that suffers. Okay, enough of my ranting.
Wait a minute, so no gift, meaning nothing?
nada? No money in a card either? I can't believe what I am reading. LOL.
Here is how it works.. for a shower they usually want a gift off the registry which just about everyone has these days. If not registered then about a 30-50 dollar gift depending on how close you are or gift card, etc.
And for weddings, wrapped gifts are always tacky mostly because they are awkward, much harder for the bride and groom to take care of at/after the wedding (have someone collect the gifts and deliver later?, collect themselves which is tacky, receive yet another item they don't need and/or want), and so ALL brides and grooms expect MONEY.
Weddings are very expensive. Mine was over 10000 a while back and if all 60 or so couples brought me a "gift" I would have been VERY upset. Sorry but it's true.
I think most people who bring gifts are the ones who don't want to spend much or don't want people to know what they spent but that's just my opinion. Otherwise, why wouldn't they just put the money in a card and give them something they can really use?
Even if you don't have much money, 25.00 is better than more crystal champagne glasses or yet another picture frame that so doesn't match the decor.
Okay, done. Sorry......I was on a roll.
LOL
Wait a minute, Pinky! It takes two....sm
...to conceive a child, unless you're the Virgin Mary 2000 years or so ago. Calling the young woman a sl*t, a very shaming label, just clouds the issue. And yes, adoption is a viable option if the girl and her parents are neither willing nor able to keep the baby, financially and emotionally. But it has to be their choice. I hate abortion, but that's not what we're talking about.....anyhow, shaming labels don't help the discussion. I'm too old to even remember having the natural and normal desires of youth, LOL, but these things happen. Even back in my day, some young couples, as we put it, "had to get married."
Wait a minute, "What is wrong?". sm
These are hard, hard times, and there are always two sides to every story. She was asking for good recommendations, and she got some. That's what a support system is all about, you know. I'm delighted to see all the good and practical suggestions here, not the criticism.
Sure thing - can't wait till next week (no life- haha)

I wish we could all go the week of the graduation but their graduations are always a week earlier th
ours. So actually all three of my kids are still in school this week while all of hers will already be out. My youngest is actually missing school to go but my two older kids have finals so they can't go at all that week.
Thank you. I guess I'm just trying to find a nice way to say it without causing friction and keeping the peace.
My DH is your typical male, just deal with it when the time comes whereas I want to take care of things right away without hurting anyone's feelings.
No wait, wait... 'mere Mom, me and my friends
can all drink it too. Come on guyz... my Mom won't mind, have a drink and have some fun. Bring the chocolate syrup! Doesn't she have big nipples. "My Dad likes 'em too and my baseball coach! 
Whoa, that isn't what I said!
Whatever your convictions, that's your business. What I find ludicrous is probably every store you shop at sells the material you are talking about but you don't ban them. Every grocery chain sells it. Convenience stores/gas stations. Wal-Mart is by no means the only one. You would find it very difficult to shop/function/live if you boycott all of it.
Feel as you wish. More power to you.
I just bet there's much more to it than what you state because you only chose the 1 store when many others you visit do the same thing. :)
I think you just hurt yourself, that's all.
Carry on with your convictions. More power to you!
Whoa! Do tell!
.
Whoa!!
I DO NOT answer the phone when she calls. It is ANNOYING because she keeps calling, and I have told her several times to stop. I DO NOT and HAVE NEVER let ANYONE walk over me, and that includes hostile posters on here (not you but others, if you catch my drift). You don't understand, my sister is nuts...LOL
Whoa!
You are so lucky! We must be about the same age if you had white go-go boots! Cool!
Where were you living at the time?
WHOA - you insulted someone you don't know...

The owners could have gotten reimbursed by insurance and put in less expensive pipes than copper, but NOOOOO, they wanted to be like that. What losers.

Whoa...hang on a second
To say not to get married is a huge statement. I've been married for 20 years to an awesome man. All men are not controlling, manipulative, insecure jerks. I have my own mind and I use it, my husband does not tell me what to think, how to act, etc., just as I don't do that to him. We are one in marriage, but still our own person. Marriage is a wonderful, beautiful thing when done with the right person. I am grateful I'm not single from what I've heard of the dating world lately, not much good out there to choose from (all the good ones are taken...). Marriage is not about becoming someone's property; it's about uniting 2 people who are in love to become one in God's eyes, yet still maintaining your own identity and self. Married couples work together to make each other happy. It's a give and take situation, more than anything else in the world. And marriage is not easy, not by far, but you have to work together, not against each other. I'm sorry you ended up with a big, fat jerk...it happens to the best of us. There are, however, ways out! God frowns on divorce, period...but I also believe that God frowns on one person using and manipulating another, especially a husband and wife. I'll say it again, marriage is AWESOME......with the right person and thank God I found mine...he's the best!
Whoa. You SAID it, sister!
I worked in oncology-hematology, which is fiendishly complicated. Different codes for all the various permutations of injections and infusions--chemo or non-chemo, push or non-push (shove?), sequential versus concurrent, hormonal or non-hormonal agent, first hour and each additional hour, plus all the drugs, and the constant followup because the people at the insurance companies were total idjits who couldn't seem to get it that certain drugs were indeed FDA-approved for certain indications... Don't get me started. Urg.
I had a galloping case of IBS and I landed in the ER once having a nervous breakdown....
And did you ever notice that the reimbursement system changes every time you turn around, but oddly enough it NEVER changes in favor of the providers??
Our biggest battle was getting the nurses to actually write down what they did so we could bill for it. Talk about head-shaped dents in walls.... In fact, we had a sign on the copy room wall depicting the low-tech stress-relief kit, a big circle that said "bang head here." One of my minions (I was the department head) came in once and asked me, seriously, whether we had to use or own heads, or could we use somebody else's.
Yep. I'd rather work for a wage that I last made back in the Reagan administration than go back to THAT crazy hokey-pokey. Let me re-phrase that. At least the hokey-pokey can be somewhat fun, if you're drunk enough. Billing was NEVER fun, and we weren't allowed to drink on the job, more's the pity.
(Figure of speech. I don't actually drink, but there were days when I wished I did!)
whoa - and boys can come home having gotten
boys come home getting girls pregnant....quit blaming just the girls...and girls didn't ask to get periods..I couldn't believe you even typed that.....
Boys go thru the hormonal stage and if you think there's no menopause for men - you're dead wrong....it's called andropause.
I'd take 10 girls over ONE boy...anyday.....
JMHO...another mom is all.....
Whoa there Bessie. Back up...
I beg to differ with your mom's statistics. I have spent many hours in volunteer work mentoring the children of inmates. Many times have I seen the visiting rooms, participated in seminars and such. Texas prison as an example (the Guilag state) had 125,655 inmates in 2002. Of those 70% were African American....your illegals did not quite rise to the 6% category. Don't think that this means that blacks actualy commit 70% of our crime here...its just that they get arrested 7 tmies more often than whites. Can you say bigotry?
whoa!! That was a cheap shot LOL, but I'd rather have a

Not to be catty, but whoa did you see the eyebrows? -sm
talk about bad, must be those tatooed eyebrows I've heard about, or else really bad clown makeup.
Whoa, what's with YOU? You're asking a bunch of mostly women MTs who probably
At least you got some suggestions. You ought to lighten up.
I find it best to take a 15-20 minute nap....sm
when I find myself super-sleepy during the day. It's just enough to perk me back up and works better than caffeine or cold water.
I take a 20 minute nap and that helps when I get like this.

Can I vent for just a minute?
My mother-in-law called last night to say that we have some relatives in town for the weekend. They are staying with a relative that is not related to my husband's family. She asked if we would like to get together Sat. evening and order pizza. This is what we do every time family visits, unless I offer to cook. My MIL tells everyone who listens " I love to cook, I just don't have anyone to cook for." My wonderful FIL passed away 16yrs ago. My MIL works Mon.-Thurs. in a family owned business that she and my husband run. The business is closed on the weekends. My sister-in-law is a school teacher so she is out of school right now. I am not asking for a huge meal, but I know we could throw together something nice but easy quickly. BTW, for Easter dinner we are going to Outback. I can't have everyone here becuase we just pulled up all our carpets to put down hardwood floors, so most of our furniture is in the garage. I did suggest to my MIL that we do KFC since we always do pizza. Her response "I don't like mashed potatoes." Just felt like venting a little bit ( I don't say anything negative about my MIL to my hubby) mainly becuase she is a very good MIL and a wonderful grandmother. (Sigh) I feel better now. 
Such a minute amount but what I was
saying anyone who has a huge amount on their card really cannot stand to take a chance with not paying on time- I am sure would not have a problem having it written off- they love me because 2nd time I have paid off totally and always on time (not this small amount though) and the last time over 10 thou paid off. I will probably call them anyway.
I usually use about 1/2 bag if minute rice..sm
but this is the first time I have used the recipe on the dry onion soup box!! It just sounded so good that I thought I would give it a try and just add the rice since my hubby likes rice in his meatloaf. Hope it comes out okay!!
As of 1 minute ago, here's what they agreed on
If you make at least 3000 but don't pay taxes, you'll get 300. If you pay taxes, you'll get 600. Plus, you get an additional 300 per child. Each couple that pays taxes will, therefore, get 1200, plus 300 per kid, as long as they make under 150,000.
Yahoo news had the wrong numbers posted this morning, but everything has been decided on now and above is the info.
Have I done without as a child? Let me think a minute. YES
My family was borderline poverty striken although I was not aware of it. My grandmother used to pay our house note and my aunt came in and picked up bills that were due and paid those. I remember my grandmother buying us groceries. My mother never had what you could consider a really good job. No drugs, no alcohol, nothing like that but not enough to really support a family, not much help from my father (although he did pay child support). Being as only 2 children, mother was able to make each feel loved and wanted. My mother's kids were not born back to back so bonding was able to be in force. This mother is talking about doing illegal things and hopefully the courts will step in about the children. I do not think she has the basic common sense to take care of this brood. All she thought about were her needs, not the needs of all these other children. She had enough at home before she started. I read she had to pay $100,000 for the invitro. That could have bought an addition on the home so they could put in more bedrooms for all these extra mouths to feed.
I'd have dumped the vet the minute she mentioned the

It's 30 minute circuit training SM
on very easy machines. It's actually fun and everyone is friendly.
Only problem is, you don't really lose a lot of weight, if that's your goal, and, at least where I live, it costs $40 a month. What with rate of pay dropping, I had to quit.
If you don't need to lose a great deal of weight and just want to stay in shape, it really is good.
There is one from the 10 Minute Solutions group.

And you can get thrown off this board for just what you said a minute ago
that being correcting me about how I structured a sentence. I was talking about a situation outside of this board and outside of work this morning and you are calling someone to task about my being rude? In a nice way I can correct and usually do. I can see where your name comes from.
I can't believe you would waste a minute of time obsessing about this.
Unbelievable!
Guiding Light since it was a 15 minute show
 I'm old.
If it was my child, I would be at that school in a hot New York minute.
Regardless of what is or is not wrong with the child, that comment from the teacher is totally uncalled for and extremely unprofessional. A teacher should know better, period, end of discussion. And I agree with tnmt, ask for a meeting with the principle and teacher.
TY for replies/advice - see "wait a minute" below for
update. I plan on talking to principal and teacher today and go from there.
our kids have a 2 minute walk from school and
they have already been heckled by meaner kids, they even threw a beer bottle at my 5 year old. I stood behind a fence one day and stepped out in front of him just as he was rounding the corner and told him that if he ever even so much as talked to my kids again I would follow him home and tell his parents exactly what was going on. I told him that I would also talk to the principal, who I know on a first-name basis as i am VP of the PTO. I put the fear of God in that child but I still do not trust him or his little band of siblings he walks with. I almost fear other children more than I do strangers!
The 5-minute Chocolate Cake for 1 Person
The person who sent me this says it really works.
5-MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE
4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
A small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug (microwave-safe)
Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly. Pour in the milk and oil and mix well. Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again. Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts. The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed! Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired. EAT!
I gave birth to twins, and I have to say they were not born the same minute.

I agree; that isn't feasable cuz they can't be born at the same minute, even with C-section it

Aren't they just TOOOO adorable? Ours is a laugh a minute! That sm
collar would be STUNNING!!! 
twins nor triplets would be born at same minute. must be split personality, LOL! nm

i know it is wearing on you but the recommend amount of timeout is 1 minute for each year of age.

Don't wait.
The attacks will definitely become more frequent and more sensitive. Even limiting your diet to bland foods will eventually not be good enough.
The pain is from the stones trying to pass into the biliary duct. It can be devastating if that happens.
I had open gallbladder surgery. It was painful, but I had no complications. I'm glad I had it done.
Don't wait. Infection can set in; necrosis can start.
Wait!!!!
I have the thickest, curliest, kinkiest, frizziest hair going. I was ready to pull it out when I saw something on the Today show. They said sodium laureth sulfate causes hair to be frizzy. I went out and bought organic shampoo and you would not beleive the change. I use Frizz Ease spray leave on conditioner and only wash it about once a week. I am sooo much happier with it now. I personally am too scared to make a change because if you don't like it, there is nothing you can do. Good luck whatever you decide. You could try this first and see if it helps.
No, but can't wait to see it!
And he may be targeting the pharmaceutical companies next. That ought to be good, too:)
