Thanks for calling them "children" not "litter" or " brood"
Their little lives are going to be tough enough! These poor, innocent little children, all 14, need our love, not sloppy wording leading to condemnation of their innocent little lives. Their mother is another story, she needs to be investigated. Speaking of the babies or children -- they should not be labeled the same as animals, "litter" should never be applied to innocent little children. And "yes" I do "get it." Someone has to be an advocate for the "children" -- they didn't ask for this and they don't deserve the negative labels. We are supposed to be working in a "helping profession" with professional backgrounds and well-educated in the humanities. Save the term "litter" for animals, please, or trash along the highway!
Rotten Tomatoes list the 50 best scary movies. Good list.

None on this list but have a list of my own!!
Hanna, Tigger, Sophie, Ethyl, Wally, Pipin, Morris, Tito and Moshee.
5 awesome cats, 3 birds a-flyn' and a little dog in a pear tree!
Add another to the list (sm)
I confess I adored Clooney back in his ER days. Thought he was handsome until just a couple of weeks ago when I saw him with his Oceans 6,279 or whatever number it is gang promoting the film on a morning talk show. He looked like a little geeky guy sitting in his chair. The hair, skinnier, I don't know but something was different and it wasn't good.
Tom Cruise was great in his Risky Business days. He'd be better off now in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
Josh Holloway, Liam Neeson, John Cusack and OMG I can't think of any more...any ideas?
My list
Who could only have one? They are like potato chips. All the Harry Potter Movies - do you have YOUR ticket for Wednesday?, Where the Red Fern Grows, The Big Chill, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill I and II, Better off Dead, Gone With the Wind, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Casablanca, Driving Miss Daisy, Rear Window, Chronicles of Narnia - The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, The Passion of the Christ, School of Rock, The Crow, Braveheart, The Secret Garden, all the Jason Bourne Movies, The Labyrinth. I have to stop now and go watch one before I fall asleep! I am glad to see all those wonderful movies on here. Now I am reminded of old favorites that I want to watch again and ones I don't own for my collection I share with my daughters.
Add me to the list
My daughter and I pretend that we "miss" the actual real ending of the commercial, when the people come back and take this sweet doggie!
my list
Viagara, Cialis, retirement villages, multi million sports figures stating they drive a Buick or a Ford. Insurance salesmen with one foot in the grave themselves, on-line schools with degrees in 18 months guaranteed, mattress ads, especially designed by designers, you sleep on them for ,,,,sake, you don't wear them! teeth whiteners, wrinkle removers, energy drinks, hair growth products, More - breast enhancers, jewelry that is overpriced, self-help videos, miracle sponges and mops that clean by themselves, Chia, free-trial money-back guarantees (you never send them back), anything with 12 easy payments, no money down; free stuff where you just pay shipping. And that's only a partial list - no room for all of them and no room to make this perfect English or punctuation. There are on-line courses for this, just send them your credit card number and they will make you a college grad in no time!
Top of my list...
Friday Night Lights, finally back on NBC after being on Direct TV only since fall.
2-1/2 Men

sounds fun!
Now to find the time to do my own.. LOL
going to add to the list
One thing that I did when my kids were growing up in the80s was to make a "garbage omlet" (sorry for the typos working up until recently -- but what I did was if there really weren't enough leftovers in the fridge to make a meal, meat, veggies, etc, I would beat eggs up and combine everything along with cheddar cheese and I am on a very frugal budget right now as well -- our local Publix has had Hillshire Farm lunch meat on sale for several months at $4/for 2 packages - I clip the coupons which are $1 of for 3 -- I buy things on special when at ALL possible -- went shopping the other day and spent $200 but the freezer and fridge are packed and that is for me and when S/O is here for 3.5 days -- I basically "create" and one of the things I do is make my own wraps -- buy tortillas on sale, again, Hillshire Farm and for S/O'S lunch, wrap in plastic wrap to hold together -- he will also take leftovers.
One experiment that I did the other day and was great, but I made macaroni salad with no mayo -- took Albacore tuna -- a large can, cooked and drained macaroni, italian dressing, 3 hard boiled eggs -- 3-4 greek olives and your own "seasonings to taste" but here in FL with hot weather or any place NO mayo -- I can only give basic ingredients because I have SELDOM followed a book as far as making anything and this is from someone whom from back in the 70s couldnt even make Jello :) -- go for the roasts, chicken breasts etc -- but try to think too, of meals that rather "prepared you can make from scratch" A pork roast, beef roast, chuck roast, ham, can be sandwiches, BBQ, chunked into salads etc. Sorry, EXHAUSTED after working all day but trying to help -- OOPS forgot about this -- a PREPARED fruit salad with "lunch meat ham" shredded up makes a quick -- hot weather fix as well -- be CREATIVE and good luck

Just a tip about animals
As I am getting cleaned up from Christmas and heading towards the New Year, thought I would pass on something that I do and if you don't know about it and can do the same, here tis: I get the newspapers each day (along with lots of subscriptions to different magazines), save them up and when I get a big bunch I take them to my local animal shelter. They cut them up and use for bedding for the animals. Pass it on.....
Well at least they like animals...
I'd take them for neighbors over someone who *shoots at* animals, any day!
Animals
Dogs and cats are good! That will be a fun job and animals are so loving and grateful for anything we do. Good choice too since you get free vet care you can get another dog! Or two. You can never have enough dogs. I only have three. I need a bigger house so I can have more dogs! They are our "babies" and are spoiled. I would hate to transcribe without my dogs who sit next to me and "wait" - what have I ever done to deserve this? I just accept it and feel loved.
animals
If she could have someone else feed them honestly it would save her a bunch. The minimum I have seen places charge and I have moved around alot was 16 a night per animal. Sometimes if you can put 2 in the same cage they give you a small discount on one animal per cage.
what we will do for our animals. .
One year my cat just kept jumping up into the middle of the tree. . we came home from work several times with the tree in the floor. . we eventually anchored the tree to the floor AND ceiling. . . as he got older he got calmer. . I'm sad to say last Christmas was his last - he died in January at age 17. . . He was a good friend. .
Yup, just like animals, neither can they. LOL

animals
I would do the samething, have two dogs that I love dearly which one is blind and has lived in the same house since she was a puppy, and still runs into the walls and things. It is so sad to see, so I would never do anything to make it any harder on her. Bless you for being so caring.
raw animals
The wild animal the dog kills wasn't raised on a factory farm under conditions favorable for salmonella epidemics, and wasn't force-fed antibiotics to cover the many diseases hens get when they live in such tight quarters.
Then again, the raw chicken is actual chicken, rather than "animal digest" or the other euphemisms the pet food industry uses to cover the miserable quality of their food (even the premium brands are just awful).
And just look at how animals
almost always hook up with another animal friend ... even natural enemies.
I guess if you are very social, you can get enough from other people and activities. I get drained too easily and so would rather have my mate than be alone.
how do you know that? Unfortunately animals
cannot tell us how they feel, not before and not after.
I have more pets than 10! Not one on the list!
Dogs - Ziggy Stardurst and Mello Yello, and Moe. Cats - Michael Jackson and Dr. Finkelstein (daughter's fave dictator), Rabbits - Dobby, Lupin, Binky, Marshmallow, Snitch, Fleuffer, George and Fred - are you sensing a heavy Harry Potter theme here?? Pumpkin and Radad. And my 2 black bear hamsters - guy and girl - Joey and Zora...Now does anybody remember that pair?? Other hamsters Bob, Faramir, Oompah and SweetTart. Any donations will be gladly accepted for my zoo........
Do not call list
 There is a national "Do Not Call List" that you can put not only your home land line on but also your cell phone number on. You sign up on-line via the Internet and you remain on the list for 5 years at which time you have to re-enroll your phone numbers. It is not enough to "ask" to be put on the "do not call list" you must go to the national website and sign yourself up. If you are called by a company after you have put your number on the national "do not call list" you can call the Attorney General and the company will be fined $1,500.00. Hope this helps! We have all our numbers on the list home phone/cell phones and our numbers are unlisted as well.

Restrictions you list..
All of the above restrictions are things that any one with a little bit of sense would WANT to do. They are meant to protect, not restrict. I gladly wear a seat belt, riding motorcycle helmet is for the person, not the government and the transfat---- that should have been banned years ago along with other food addictives that do nothing for our health and only hurt us. In my home we only use olive oil in cooking and do not frequent the fast food joints. We try to buy good food that is as pure as we can get for our cooking here. I do not care to have other folks smoking around me, definitely not in my home. I think what you named above are for our health.
I thought you were going to have a list
About the divorced men with kids living at home with their parents...I can understand their situation. After I got divorced, my kids lived with my ex and I paid child support. It was impossible for me to live on my own and pay CS, even when I got a job that doubled my yearly income. The more I made, the more my CS payment went up. I respect someone whose priority is being financially and emotionally responsible to their children after divorce, even if it means being judged a "momma's boy" for living with his parents for a while. On the upside of that, too, is the fact that not just any old new woman in his life is going to be brought home to meet the parents (usually). They usually wait until they find a special someone to bring them over to meet the family. Remember, I doubt that the ex-wife is just sitting at home twiddling her thumbs minding the kids. Most ex-wives DO date after divorce (otherwise there would be fewer blended families/second marriages), so I don't see any difference between the ex-hubbie and the ex-wife. JMHO
Anbesol is on my list....
Going to Walmart after my shift.
That was one of the most hated on the list! (nm)

cookies...quite a list..

JUST CLICK ON THE NAME OF THE COOKIE AND BAM, THE RECIPE IS THERE. GOOD TO KEEP HANDY FOR THE HOLIDAYS.
Disgustingly Rich Brownies
My 'to-do' list: -sm
1. The dishes: (No more clean ones left. Tired of pulling dirty ones out of the pile and rinsing them off.) But of course, am I doing them? NO! I'm reading & posting on MT Stars! ;D
2. Vacuuming: When a dark red rug is starting to look white instead, that's enough cat-hair to build yourself a whole 'nother cat!
3. Car-Maintenance: Poor thing is overdue for oil-change, tires, you-name-it. But I guess I'll have to bite the bullet and get it taken care of, if I'm going to be able to rely on it to get me 'over the river & thru the woods' to family Thanksgiving this year, 400 miles away!
4. Yard Work: My landlady wants me to keep the plants in the back yard watered. Instead, I keep hoping it will rain.
5. Laundry: I currently have a good excuse - washing machine is broken and I'm still waiting for the part that was ordered. But MEANWHILE, I'm having to dig back in the closet to my worst, oldest clothes in order to find something to wear each day. And I'm down to the underwear your mom tells you never to wear 'because you never know when you might be in an accident and have to go to the hospital, and then wouldn't you be embarrassed.' Well, actually I woudn't, 'cause I would be in the hospital, and I wouldn't care!
6. Replace missing skate wheel: I broke an axle on my inline skates 2 weeks ago, and had to 'limp' along for miles on 3 wheels instead of 4. That sucked.
7. Letters/Emails: I owe 'way too many people a letter or an email. i used to be so good about corresponding with friends and relatives, sending photos, news, etc. Now I'm totally negligent about it. If only I didn't have to work... ;)
Which I guess I'd better do now, in order to fix that car, buy stamps for my unwritten letters, buy a new axle for my skate, buy dish-soap, buy new underwear, and get the vacuum-cleaner fixed after it dies from vacuuming up all that cat-hair!
Ok then, list yours out for us and we will call them out for you (sm)
No one is without sin so I guess we should all go around pointing the finger at each other all the time and not worry about what we ourselves are doing?
For me, it's because I usually forget the list!
I'm a person who has to write reminders to remember my reminders.
Try Craig's List.

Poor animals!
A ''crate'' is just a nice term for a cage. How sad to cage a dog or cat.
You can only try. That is what we did with my son. His stuffed animals SM
were his worst nightmare allergy-wise.
I've had dogs with dry skin, but never were they were that miserable. I wonder if they make a doggie lotion that could help or if there is some type of herbal remedy like who knows what but some type of oil safe for doggie skin.
I have two black labs now and one puppy Yorkie. My older black labs gets some dry skin on his belly, but nothing too bad.
Don't give up. You'll find it!
All animals, pets or not are most definitely
.
Thanks for that one. Animals rule!

What is it with old stinky animals!
My old dog and old horse really do "smell like old people." They have a funk of their own when compared to the younger animals of same species, even though they are all completely healthy. I think it's just what happens, the why's and how's though, I am completely clueless about. I really have an especially soft spot for the ol' senior critters though.
Animals in heaven? NM

social animals
Rodents, rats especially, are very very social animals and are intelligent and desire human contact. I've had 6 diff rats, all are passed away now cause they only last a few years, but they are very playful and will play with you and like to be held, petted and carried around. The more you do that the more friendly they get!
Have fun!
wild animals
My fiance used to live in a subdivision in our small town. . every night, possums and racoons came up on his back deck and looked through the sliding glass door at us while we were watching TV in the living room. . We enjoyed seeing them and sometimes we would put food out for them. .
I have to share this also because I think it is a once in a lifetime thing - yesterday we were walking on my fiance's farm and saw a deer giving birth. . we got to within about 35 yards of it. . We only watched for about 10 minutes because we could tell we were making it very nervous. . I hope they both do okay. .
for my animals -- YES absolutely!
i don't think its a bit crazy to CARE for your animals, and take care of them. Bless your heart!
fostering animals
Does anyone foster animals? I've been thinking of fostering a dog or cat and wonder what exactly is involved.
There are those that believe animals have souls-
I doubt they would find it ridiculous, though I do agree that this whole thread is ridiculous. The OP wanted to start a fire and she got it.
Animals very much desirable,
in your own homes, not running loose in the neighborhood. I have inside pets, they live longer inside anyway.
Like I said, I love most animals and have more than...
my fair share of them including a horse that is losing her teeth and anyone else would put down because it is very expensive to keep her around and very cheap to replace her at this point, but I just can't do it, as she is very healthy. I am just not such a cat person and I really hope that my husband does not bring on home, but if he did, I would expect it to stay outside. Terrible, I know, but that is just the way I am.
