i'm proud of my worn-off letters -- confuses intruders
i've purchased many keyboards in my day (as have we all), and i just love it when folks come over and see my E, S, T and R are missing, if not more. when you get a new keyboard and read the box, believe it or not, they are listed as having a life-expectancy of 10 million Keystrokes -- doesn't take us long to burn thru that! right now, i've been using this microsoft ergonomic and all letters still in place (bummer). however, microsoft had some nerve moving the keys all around like they did --- just crazy to my fingers....
Not only have some of the letters worn off, but I have made dents into the keys. sm
My husband saw my keyboard one time and couldn't use it because he didn't know the location of the missing letters.
I like mine worn off so nobody else can use it! QWYUPKZX are the only letters left! nm
To MT and Worn Out:
Thanks so much for your prayers and thoughts, MT. I sure do appreciate them.
I probably won't be on the Politics Board for a while, simply because I don't have a clue about what's going on politically any more. Though many may not agree with my posts, I at least post them with passion and a viewpoint formed by keeping current. I used to really love to write, but I'm not very good at it any more, so I guess I'll just let time do its thing. LOL.
I will definitely come back to this board, though, if you'd like, to let you know some of the GOOD things that happen, ,if and when they do, especially after putting you all through the BAD stuff!
Your dad is a wise man. I've been trying to keep a stiff upper lip, but sometimes it just quivers. LOL
Tired and worn out
I am sure a lot of you are in the same boat I am, but I just need to vent.
I am 50 years old, married for 33 years, have a 26-year-old daughter (schoolteacher) who lives at home.
We run our own business, plus I do transcription. I receive no help whatsoever. I run the office for the business, do all the housework (dusting, dishes, laundry). I am hating to get up in the morning because I know I just face the same thing every day. My husband and daughter are very busy as well, but I wish they would just pick up after themselves. All I do is pick up and never get to serious cleaning or organizing. I am going in circles all the time.
I am ready to pack my suitcase and run away. There has to be more to life than this.
Thanks for letting me vent.
You are not evil, you are just worn out - sm
he is laying on the guilt trip big time. You have done what you can. He is able bodied and more than capable of working, especially if he has a friend who has a job available for him but he is too lazy to take. He just does not want to work, why should he when everyone around him will pay his way. I'd cut him off. Tell him the gravy train made its last stop, and not to come back until he has a job and a pay stub to show for it. If he refuses to work, then give him some addresses of local shelters so he has a place to go after he is finally evicted. He has no one to blame but himself, though I am sure he will blame you, your mom, your husband and anyone else he can think of. There is no helping someone like that, their sense of entitlement is too high.
Can anyone tell me why bangs are worn down over the eyes and
people always seem to be a) shoving their hair out of them, b) flinging their head from 1 side to the other to get hair back from their face, c) keeping their hands in perpetual motion pushing their bangs/hair back from their face. Why in the world do female do this? If I had hair hanging in my face, over my eyes, I would have to have it cut. What is the reasoning behind this?
Look below, in capital letters and...
it did not take me a fraction of a second to figure out who * he * was! C'mon now.
How do you like to close your letters?
I use Cordially a lot. I have a new job where I'm writing to business people a lot and don't want to use Cordially all the time, nor do I want to copy what they use.
I've received Best Wishes the most. I guess there are the old standbys, like Sincerely or Sincerely yours (capital Y in yours) but those feel weird.
Can Thanks count?
Closing letters
How about "Kindest" or "Kindest Regards,"?
my daughter got these letters from her orthodontist
still, to this very day, she is under their care and ALWAYS receives compliments, notes, and they are (the orthodontists) happily married.......yes I do believe the OP may be reading way far into this. Orthodontists (the male ones) are VERY nice/sweet because they have to deal with the same patient for years (in my daughter's case because her mouth used to be a disaster) and years.
Back off, chill out, and see the next time how you are treated.....right now, ya sound a little desperate to me...
Have a GREAT day!!! 
Of course, dog responds to sound of letters,cause&

answers to chain letters.
I don't like them but I get a chill reading the gloom and doom ones and start to wonder if the person who sent that really is a friend. I don't pass it to any friends. Here is a funny one you can send back though.
I want to thank all of you who have taken the time and trouble to send me your silly chain letters over the past years. Thank you for making me feel safe, secure, blessed, and wealthy. Because of your concern...
I no longer drink Coca Cola because it can remove toilet stains. I no longer drink Pepsi or Dr Pepper since the people who make these products are atheists who refuse to put "Under God" on their cans. I no longer drink anything out of a can because I will get sick from the rat feces and urine.
I no longer use Saran wrap in the microwave because it causes cancer. I no longer check the coin return on pay phones because I could get pricked with a needle infected with AIDS.
I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a wet dog on a hot day.
I no longer go to shopping malls because someone will drug me with a perfume sample and rob me.
I no longer receive packages from UPS or FedEx since they are actually AL Qaida in disguise.
I no longer shop at Target since they are French and don't support our American troops.
I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a stupid number for which I will get the phone bill from hades with calls to Jamaica, Uganda, Singapore, and Uzbekistan.
I no longer eat prepackaged foods because the hormones they contain will turn me gay. I no longer eat KFC because their chickens are actually horrible mutant freaks with no eyes or feathers.
I no longer have any sneakers -- but that will change once I receive my free replacement pair from Nike.
I no longer buy expensive cookies from Neiman Marcus since I now have their recipe.
I no longer worry about my soul because I have 363,214 angels looking out for me.
I no longer have any savings because I gave it to a sick girl who is about to die in the hospital (for the 1,387,258th time).
I no longer have any money at all, but that will change once I receive the $245,000 that Microsoft and AOL are sending me for participating in their special e-mail program.
Yes, I want to thank all of you soooooooo much for looking out for me! I will now return the favor. If you DON'T send this e-mail to at least 1200 people inthe next 60 seconds, a large bird with diarrhea will crap on your head at 5:00 pm tomorrow afternoon. I know this will occur because it actually happened to a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend . . ..
Life is good...
My son could pick out all letters at 18 months old...
We made it a game. Everywhere we went, we would point out letters for him to name- on signs, cereal boxes, menus, etc. Now, we have him tell us what the letters say and read small words. He can read many words and he is not 3 yet. We did NOT teach the alphabet song until after he knew each letter because I think that it is confusing. LMNOP all run together and as a kid, I thought that it was one word. At any rate, maybe try some kind of incentive, like carrying stickers or jellybeans or something in your purse and point out letters in the grocery store or wherever. If she gets them right, give her a treat. We also play with flash cards and for each correct answer, Clayton gets to keep the card. When he has all the cards, he wins. Just some things that have worked for me.
P.S. That's "Fox"...hard to see these tiny letters through tears...nm

Nah, and I NEVER pass on those round robin letters for good luck, money, love, etc. if passed on in

these don't really bother me
the KY ads drive me insane! I mean, they border on pornographic, especially these *Valentine's night* ones...We know what it's for, we don't need a demo!
It would not bother me at all.
I have no problem with anyone's religion as long as they do not attempt to make others conform to their religious beliefs.
would this bother you?
I googled the phone number for my son's daycare and found a profile of a worker there. In her pictures she is holding a rather large gun and her husband is smoking something that does not appear to be a cigarette. Her personal life should be her own but this bothers me somehow. Look for yourself and then give me your hones opinion:

Would it bother you?
for your child's teacher to call him/her Sweety or Honey?
Does it bother you and, if so, why?
Don't bother getting into this field
your not going to make any money working for a company. The only way to make money is to own a business, and just starting out can be very expensive.
There are many of us trying to get out of this field for various reasons - mainly the BS that companies give us.
Wouldn't bother me at all.
In fact, I know a single guy who will not date women with children. Don't blame him.
but why do you bother to read them???

They don't seem to bother my plants
at all. They do, however, ravage my birdfeeders this time of year and throughout the winter. I used to wage war against them but I've softened in my old age. Now I figure they need to eat and survive too so I just let them be.
Doesn't bother me
For some women it takes more than soap and water. Not a biggie.
Doesn't bother me at all either
Some people need it. It's really no big deal.
I am so curious to know does it bother you ..sm
like everyday? I mean do you think what your child you put up for adoption is like and does it get to you a lot? I have often wondered what parents must go through who have done that. I know it must be very hard. I can't imagine.
The bussing would bother me too...sm
The school district I live in is so cash-strapped that they make the 9-12 kids ride the city bus. They have 30 day passes with student pricing. The K-8 kids all ride the school busses unless you live within a mile of the school of course. My DH takes our son to school which starts at 9:15 and gets out at 4:00. He is home by 4:30.
The state of Michigan requires 180 days of school. He has the usual summer vacation days, but if they exceed the number of "snow days" then those get tacked on at the end of the year. But usually they get out the first week of June. We have one week for spring break and 2 weeks at Christmas. We also have the usual assortment of in-service meetings etc., but no 2 hour delays and definitely no every Friday in May off.
If I were you, I would start going to your school board meetings and start making your opinionknown. The more noise you make, the better. And you might just find other people in the same boat as you are. In my city, the school board term is 2 years then they have to run again. There have also been successful recall elections too. Also check to see if your school district has a citizen liason office. We do and they do an excellent job when they are needed. Work your way up the pecking order. If you don't get satisfaction at the city level, move up to the state superintendent of schools. There is always somebody higher up in the food chain that can help you. You just have to be persistent.
Good luck.
it wouldn't bother me. nm

wouldn't bother me...maybe he is just suddenly==sm
into aromatherapy. maybe he just discovered that certain scents make him feel good, as we all do. If you are worried, just ASK him. Probably nothing. Don't make a mountain out of a molehill and keep suspicious mind to yourself. If he thinks you suspect something, he may give you something to be suspicious of. good luck to you.
If you don't have a suggestion, don't bother replying.
As parents, we all have rights to name our child whatever we like. If we want to name them all starting with the same letter, that is their prerogative. When someone asks for something in particular, if you don't have any suggestions, don't respond at all. Why does there have to be someone like this for almost every post?
Don't bother with a cleaning service...
Save your money. We had a cleaning service twice a month for a year, and the day they cleaned the house, it looked wonderful, but the day after...yikes! Like it never happened. We have 3 kids and 2 dogs, and it's honestly like shoveling in a snow storm! So my husband and I took the job back and do our own cleaning. We teach the kids to clean their rooms, otherwise it won't get vacuumed. I clean the 3 bathrooms on my day off, which really doesn't take too much time if I spot clean in between. We just keep after the kids to pick up after themselves. I always have a to do list in my head for myself every weekend and feel good when I actually get them done! I know that's strange, but I do:-) Just take one day at a time, think about what you really want taken care of, and it'll get done. Don't sweat it, but I wouldn't throw money at a service to do it. Your husband has to work as a team with you. If he likes organization so much, then he can handle that part of the duties. I never grocery shop or really cook...so my husband took that over from the beginning. We chose the things we like to do and then get them done. Who cares who does them? Good luck!
But....these are good and harmless. Won't bother you a bit! Quite sm
friendly, actually. Heard they wouldn't hurt you - just keep away and let them do their jobs.
I've actually fainted from arachnophobia before, so believe me when I say this.
Don't let it bother yoyu Hayseed
I love reading your posts. They always make me laugh. These people have no sense of humor. They must work to hard and leave no time to joke and keep things light. P.S. By the way, I also have that fascination.
Anybody have stress bother them and then get sick?
Ever since I have been stressed over a certain situation in transcription, and my family's budget I have become extremely tired and it is really hard to get my line count. Every day as the pressure builds regarding this my line count gets lower, no matter how hard I try. Anybody in this situation or ever been, I'd appreciate advice. I am trying stress busters, exercising, reading books, taking time to go outside, but nothing is working.
Every time I sit down to type, I just get more and more worried and I can't produce! It is like my heart is going on strike against the position I have because there are problems with the situation and it makes my money situation even worse. My husband is very understanding but this has got to stop. I want to feel good about my job again and my production. If you say get another job, I understand about that, but what about until the other job starts, what do I do? Arrrggggg. I know life is no picnic but it could at least provide piece of mind so I can do my job! Thanks in advance for any and every suggestion or advice. It will be well appreciated
If this is so boring - why bother? they need posters over there can't you tell
by this thread?
As I said if you cannot play nice don't bother - sm
to comment.....I know I did a lot of things wrong...don't need salt poured in my wounds.
Sorry to bother you again, what are tthe measurements?...nm

Did you even bother to read the snopes.com information?
To wit:
The proposed regulations establish common standards for States to issue licenses. The Federal Government is not issuing the licenses, is not collecting information about license holders, and is not requiring States to transmit license holder information to the Federal Government that the Government does not already have (such as a Social Security Number).
My state requires a thumbprint for a driver's license. Is that invasion of privacy, too?
polygamy doesn't bother me but the compound does
I understand that people of like minds may want to live in a close community, but when it becomes isolative I think it's dangerous. I don't have a problem with free choice. Of course the under age marriages are deplorable. I feel sorry for the women being separated from their children and even more so for the children being taken away from their parents into a different world.
The women on Larry King bothered me though, they all talked in a very monotone way, they looked gaunt, kind of robotic. Maybe it's the immediate situation they are facing and being on TV. I guess I would have liked to see a bit of anger there, some emotion, too submissive, probably the way they are with their husbands. You get the feeling they are pretty bottled up.
Check-writing doesn't bother me
so much as the little old ladies with their frail eyesight and arthritic hands, bless their hearts, digging in their coin purses for the exact change. It's too bad I'm in such a hurry I can't just admire their independence.
You'd be smart not to bother getting newborn size.
The baby would be out of them in about 2 weeks from what I remember, so much better to get the next size up.
I wouldn't bother with another divorce if things go bad
Sounds like you're just going to marry him again, so deal with it!  I can relate to those love-hate relationships. In my case, it was a battle of wills, we both wanted to be in charge. Loved each other up until the day he died, but we both were pretty bull-headed.

I wouldn't even bother with a playlist for holiday music
Your iPod can sort your music by song title, album, artist, and genre, etc. Just click into "genre" and choose to play only "holiday" next year. That's how all of your Christmas music will be sorted.
If genres aren't listed in your music menu, you can go to the first menu, then settings, and then make sure that genre is selected. You can even select shuffle and then play just one genre, and all of your holiday music will be shuffled.
I like the genre settings. If I'm in the mood for jazz, I select just that genre, or I can select rock, country, or whatever. It's a nice feature.
If OP didnt bother to make call to school about this,

They didn't bother to ask their victim if they'd wanted to live...sm
and it irks me to no end that we have to spend cazillions of bucks to keep these murders alive while appeals are filed. If this country got tough on crime then we'd not have the crime problem we have today.
She is DENSE, don't bother any longer. Like talking to a wall...

Fran is right..Tends to run in families. If you are, dont bother with Synthroid..I went to Armour
thyroid and never looked back. I tried Synthroid for over a year and they could never get my thyroid back in..I struggled with cold intolerance, fatigue, dry skin, and the worse..weight gain..like 30 pounds and then a doctor put me on a more "natural" thyroid which was Armour. I got my energy back, lost weight etc..I would never use Synthroid or any other synthetic again. Be aware that a huge number of doctors dont like prescribing Armour but I insist that it's the only thing that works for me and they do prescribe it..Good luck to you..
I used to get up and go straight to work - didn't even bother to brush my hair until after noon.
I had a holy faded T-shirt with Tweety bird (you could barely see him anymore!) and a pair of baggy sweat pants that I wore with big pink fuzzy house slippers! Until I got caught several times with a little old lady from my church stopping by to say high, salesman knocking on the door, and the final straw was my nice looking neighbor stopping buy to borrow my ladder. I finally decided perhaps I should brush my teeth and come my hair just in case!
Now, I get up every morning, take a shower, fix my hair, and put on my makeup. Then I get the kids off to school and I sit down and work. I have found that, believe it or not, I am way more productive than I used to be. I'm not distracted thinking about when am I going to make time for a shower. I still wear jeans and a T-shirt and my house slippers, but now no one can catch me looking like a worn out old hag anymore. And now that I'm single, well ya never know when you might bump into Mr. Right.
