Ooh, deadliest catch
My husband and son have just gotten into watching that. I usually work that time of night but they seem to be really into it and it makes me curious about it. I will have to check it out. When you mentioned Emergency it reminded me that I love to watch the ER shows on discovery at night. Sometimes I can catch them before bed. I feel like I get to SEE what I type all day long. :)
Please correct my catch a shoe to catch a show - didn't proof first

Many catch 22s in life
Here's a few I've run across in the course of my life...
You can't get a job without experience...but how do you get work experience without a job?
You can't get credit unless you don't need it...but without it how do you get in a position to not need it?
You can't get a date with a hottie unless you're a hottie, but if you try to date people that aren't hotties, they refuse to date you because they want to date a hottie....
Play by the rules, work hard and life will be golden...and when that doesn't work out because lazy rule-breakes stole all the gold, its your fault, you must not have been trying hard enough.
Life isn't fair. Get used to the idea. And keep trying anyway.
Anybody else catch the little LOST show
that was on last night? It was the writers or producers or something discussing the show. They must read the message boards, like the ABC one and possibly the AOL one, and see all the fan theories. I only saw it because we have DVR set up, and it recorded. I'm going to watch it again with DH.
I suppose there will be a recap of it on the LOST website if you missed it.
Did you catch the photo on Fox of her taken out of her estate?
Gosh, she looks like you or me, did not seem like she had time to have her makeup done professionally before her next 15 minutes. Not hot.

Gonna catch flak for this, but what I would do
is get a bunch of switches and light his legs up any and every time he wants to be as bad as you are saying. I probably could guarantee with the sting you are not going to have to put up with that type of behavior day after day. Of course, with people trying to be so politically correct they will say no spanking/switching/beating, etc., etc. but YOU are the one having to deal with this out of control child.
My docs seem to be playing catch-up. I see it as

Terriers also love to catch
mice, but not everybody wants to live with a terrier. You have to be quite the confident leader with a terrier, and willing to keep him exercised.
Anyone catch the Osbournes last night after
American Idol? I have to say I needed a really good laugh and got one during that show. I thought it was hilarious. I thought Sharon looked really great after her bout with cancer.
just keep practicing the word NO. She'll catch on.
she's a user, but you don't have to let her. all up to you. good luck. stay strong. :8)
I catch LAInk a lot because I am so totally opposite all

I saw the bird story, but didn't catch
what was odd about it. You saw a huge bird on a roof in Florida, but I've been to Florida and there are some really big birds there, just like on our coast here in NC. I did't catch what was odd about it.
Did anyone catch this? "is pregnant, has given birth" LOL sm
One is a pregnant woman who has given birth to a healthy baby; he declined to give any other details, including locations.
She 'IS' pregnant but yet she has given birth! Wow, she must be pregnant with twins and only one has delivered thus far, LOL!! Don't ya just love our editing skills as an MT...
Can't ever catch a break! Missed court date for
I got a ticket 4 days before Christmas for having an expired tag (had planned to get it taken care of when my income taxes came in - my fault, but crap, I've been broke the whole year!). So I got the tag renewed the next day because the cop said they would be looking again after New Year's to write another ticket (have seen that my city has had a 25% increase in tickets written in the last month - like they need the revenue!). So, all I had for my little one was a PlayDough activity center under the tree $15, and a pink umbrella and some candy in the stocking from Santa. She was happy, though.
I've had that **??@$ ticket next to my monitor to look at it every day for the last 2 months to remind myself to go before the judge and ask for an extension of paying it until Friday when my check comes in. I have literally been living paycheck to paycheck, sometimes with only $8 in my account in between. Well, tomorrow I am scheduled to go to a different court to get a child support order (money I'll never see anyway), and I picked up my big orange folder to put my income tax return in it to take with me. Guess where I put it? Yup, right on top of that **??@$ ticket. Yup, I forgot to go to court last night. Was being bombarded with emails that my accounts could lose power due to the storm and all MTs needed to empty the systems. Now there is an arrest warrant out on me. I talked to a clerk at court and he told me to stay indoors until Friday, then come in and pay to have the warrant removed, then I can get a new date to pay the **??@$ ticket.
Well, I have to go to CS court tomorrow, but at least it is just a short hop onto the interstate and then quickly out of my city limits. If I can just make it till Friday, pay the warrant, maybe my karma will start changing. For the last 15 months, I feel like I am the little kid on Charlie Brown that walks around in a dust cloud. I have seen the inside of more court rooms in the last year than most people see in their lives with getting custody of GD. I must have done something really nasty to have this kind of karma for this long. Oh, well. They say when you're down, the only way to go is up. At least paying to have the warrant removed is less than the ticket and it gives me another month to come up with the money for that. I'm so broke, I can't even get drunk to forget my troubles! Maybe my luck will change by St. Patty's Day 
p.s. I had to edit this message because I used the word s-t-u-p-i-d to describe that ticket and the website wouldn't let me use it, thus the **??@$ symbols !! 
I love Nancy Grace. working, but will try to catch this one later
thanks for telling us about it!
Yes, sure you are correct, I didn't catch the 'An walking'..nm

I would buy it on line
and have it shipped
I am not sure it is so out of line...
I am 30 years old and I shared a bus with high school kids in Kindergarten. We also got two weeks off at Christmas and one week off for spring break. I think that this is fairly common. Also, when I was in sixth grade, the school district began charging a "bus fee" and we had to buy a bus pass or our parents had to drive us to school. I think the fee was $150 per semester. We had minimum days every other Wednesday and teacher inservices once a month. This all seems normal to me, but I understand that different places work differently, but I would not find this so strange.
Along this same line...
With the unemployment rate at 10% where I live I am shocked at the people who DO have a job - poor service, bad attitude, just downright stupid people. If jobs are so hard to come by, why are these people being hired and how do they keep their jobs?
Crossing the line...
I don't think so. What age should we start teaching our children responsibility? I said she forgot her lunch ONCE...and she never forgot again. (Besides, she eats about 2 bites of it anyway, so it's not like she was starved that day. And she had morning and afternoon snack provided by the school.) I'm a tough mom, but I'm not about to neglect my children's basic needs.
Needing a coat in blizzard type weather...well, here again I'm sure we will differ on opinion. You go from the heated house to heated car, from the heated car to heated school building. (And I'm sure my child would be resouceful enough to find antoher coat/sweater/jacket that she might have around to wear.)
No, I do not forget things. I make lists to make sure I never walk out of the house without something I need. I do not have time to be running back and forth for something I forgot, our family has a very tight schedule and return trips home are not an option. If, for some reason I ever do forget something, I'm sure I'll survive and move on wih my day and life.
Our children are all straight A students (all 3 speak/read at least 3 languages, even the 4 yo.), they two older ones are honor society members, they all belong to competitive atheletic teams, and they are contributing members to our Temple and our community, so I think we have done pretty darn well them.
I dropped you a line by the way, and yes -sm
you can email if you'd like. Probably a lot of guys out there like ours.
We have a life line
We have a life line you can get through your local hospital probably. There is a "base" connected to the phone. She can wear a necklace or a pin. If she needs help, she pushes it and believe me you will hear it, it says, "help call in progress, help call in progress". Someone will pick up and ask if you guys need help. You can answer, no we have it now, or yes we need help. It is approximately 40.00 a month. This is also good when you want to go out and she has to be alone.
My DH glances at it now and then on-line - sm
but he does not troll the sites much, he certainly does not take care of any business while on the computer, though he does have video tapes I know he uses now and then on the rare times he is home alone. A friend of his gives him Playboys and Penthouse as well about 2 x a year (lives in another state and saves them for him), again he does not "use" them, but does look at them. I have never felt threatened by them, they are not physically with him, I am, all they are are 2D pictures. As for the lesbian thing, that is a fantasy I think just about every guy has, being with 2 girls/lesbians, you get the picture. They might fantasize about it but if the opp every came up I bet 95% would run, I know mine would. If your BF has lots of it though on his computer he may have a problem he won't admit to though. You can always ask him about it but be prepared for him to explode at what he will see as you snooping on his computer, which you appear to be guilty of. I never look on my DHs computer unless he asks me to check or do something on it and he stays away from mine as well. I presume you will have to talk to him about this and I hope it goes okay for you.
Because that it just the subject line..sm
you are supposed to use the message space for the entire message, not the subject line. duh.

POST MOVED TO COMPANY BOARD
I met my husband on-line...sm
We were matched through eHarmony.com. We were married last June and he's definitely my perfect match!
You know what, I just read on line that this is probably what is sm
going on. I can't believe I haven't caught on before that he is jealous. At least now I can find a solution to this problem.
I did talk to him about it again tonight in a very respectful and helpful manner and told him not to be embarrassed. He said he just likes to pretend to be a baby again....My husband isn't home right now, but when he returns later we will discuss this problem. Thanks!
Have you heard the line about how
you should take care of those things in the morning before you come to work? I've had to explain that not everybody's body works like clockwork. How convenient when it does!
When I was little I was appalled to hear that some people went every day. I wondered how in the world they could stand to have all that pain and spend 30 minutes in the bathroom every day. I had no idea that normal people didn't take that long or have all that pain that you do if you only go once a week.
A penny per line does add up! (nm)

The man in grocery line who said anything to me
would have not liked what he heard from me then. I am way past the age of caring what I say and whether I would be offending and would have used, probably the F word, (yes I do use that when I get that ticked off)when he had such nerve as to say something when I was trying to feed my babies. I have never had anyone that rude to state unsolicitated remarks to me regarding them but they would really get an earful if they did. I might be kicked out of the store, oh well....
Goin' to the end of the line!
How they handled Roy Orbison's passing in that video was so tasteful.
Okay, you Bob Dylan fans, here's a vid for you. This is the one my little girl likes because he looks "mad" when he sings.

And my husband is the first in line
Every year he goes out shopping in the early morning hours to pick up something that's on sale. Me, I'm sound asleep. When he comes back I'll get up and then we'll go shopping later in the morning. It's tradition for us.
its hard to tell enough on line, but not all
men who have anger and other problems are serious abusers; they are men with their own baggage that affects their behavior. Mine was one. The first 10-15 years were pretty rough, but these last 10 and esp the last 5 are great -- he's in control, learned to be considerate, etc etc. I agree how bad it is for the children. But our 2 daughters have turned out fine; one married to a wonderful guy with well-raised children of their own, and the other has graduated professional school, working a dream job and going for several years with a great guy. A woman has to make her own judgment calls as to the true nature of their problems/relationship/safety and whether there is hope or not. I just don't think you can rubberstamp these marriages as all doomed.
bottom line
The bottom line is the rules. We all have rules. We all have choices. There are consequences to our choices. That is life. Whether or not you agree to the rules and/or the consequenes is irrelevant.
If one does not like the idea of a teacher getting his/her jollies out of paddling a female student, then one must keep that in mind when choosing to break a rule.
There were 2 choices of punishment here and, one of which was not corporal, but IMO missing class would hurt your daughter more in the long run. I do think she made the right choice and I also think it was wise to tell her that next time she'll have to miss class.
It's so easy as parents to set rules and consequences and not follow through with the consequences, but in an environment with hundreds and sometimes thousands of students, teachers/administrators must follow through or there would be no education.
I'm not saying the punishment fits the crime here, but after the fact is too late.
It's obvious that you completely understand the above because you are not arguing the unfairness of the punishment, but anxiety over your child. Any good parent would feel that way.
I'm just posting this in response to the posts that argue against corporal punishment. I don't agree with it either just for the record. There are laws I don't agree with but guess what? In the real world, I break a law I don't agree with and I get punished.
I hope you slept well and all went well today (Monday). Please post a followup.
Did you try Kohl's on line? nm

Your last line made me
And I really, REALLY needed to laugh today...Thanks, Hayseed! BTW, I bet you'd be an AWESOME mom (you can adopt me if you want!)
Can you renew on line?
I just learned that even here in podunk Maine, we can renew on line so long as the last time we had our picture taken it was done in digital format. Since mine was only 4 years ago, it was! I was stoked to say the least. I just logged in to the registry site, punched in my license number, paid with my bank card, and got my new license in the mail in about a week! Same picture as 4 years ago, which is fine by me, and I'm good to go for another 4 years (or maybe it's 6 now...I've forgotten already). Far less traumatic if it's available to you. Or maybe it is and you just like the masochistic punishment of going to the DMV.
Been there. I met 2 guys on line when I was
first divorced. The first one I went out with 3 times, he decided he wasn't interested because he "couldn't spend the night." The second one just totally creeped me out and so I just told him I wasn't interested. No need to let something like that drag on. It took me 2 years, but when I least expected it, I finally met the perfect guy and we have now been together 8+ years. Just keep looking, no need to tie yourself down to the first one you meet. Let him know you would like to remain friends.
I know about the teenager part. My mother who was 60 at the time told me I was acting like a teenager more after I divorced than I did when I was one. Just have fun and someone right for you will come along.
Go on-line to JMS - Just My Size sm
great selection, comfortable, plus they have workout clothes.
I hope I'm not out of line by asking this,
but would it be possible for you to watch them 2-3 hours after school? Or even just your grandson? I'm so scared for both of them right now. I have an 11-yo, an 8-yo and an almost 6-yo. The only 1 I ever leave alone is my 11-yo and that's only to run errands in the town we live in. I also make sure that he has my cell phone # and I tell the lady next door just in case. I never leave him more than an hour. There's no way I would leave my 8-yo watch my 6-yo. He can't even wipe his own butt, let alone take care of a 6-yo. What are these parents thinking. Saving money is not worth the possible disaster that could happen.
I think, no matter how hard it may be, that you need to tell them that they need to get a babysitter for these children. If you don't intervene, something terrible could happen to either 1 of these children. I would probably address this with your son (I'm assuming he's in a relationship with the mother of your 6-yo GS).
If they refuse to do so, then I would definitely report them to social services. If they threaten to keep your GS from you, you do have rights. You could take them to family court. I know it would be hard to do, but I think it would be even harder if something happened to your GS because you didn't report it.
I'll be praying for the safety of these little ones while you sort things out with the parents. I hope nothing happens to them in the meantime. Take care.
I would give it all to the guy who let me in line.
If he offered to share a little or buy me a nice steak from the store, etc., I wouldn't refuse. But he should have gotten it, and so it's his, IMO. I didn't come into the store expecting to have $500 given to me, so I'm not out anything.
If you're not using your line sm
When I don't want to be disturbed, I just dial my own number and they get a busy signal. They know I'm home but can't be disturbed for one reason or another. If he's truly suicidal then you have to get his doctor involved, I guess, that's a tough one. If you're using your line for the Internet as well then that's another story. Sounds like a desperate situation only a medical professional can deal with and they can only do so much. I think a man-to-man with your husband is in order, if he'll do it. Good luck with it, it must be very hard for you.
