Yeah, but I don't think "the rod" has to be an actual weapon (sm)

I think it means to teach your kids the right way to behave - you are the parent, you be the boss, the teacher, the leader.

People who use the Bible as a weapon or excuse to control
others are NOT Christian. My God isn't a misogynistic control freak, so bye-bye. I like your aunt's saying. I'm going to have to remember that one.
Make sure whatever you use for skewers aren't considered a weapon by the school. sm
Some schools are absolutely militant about anything that even looks like something that might be used as a weapon, no matter the reason or who has it.
How about an actual eye doc?
Once he or she gives a diagnosis, like diabetes, things will get moving in a hurry I'm sure!
Don't let him lose his vision to stubborness.
29 for me, which is better than my actual 47!

An actual suggestion
Have you tried looking up some of the Cheerleading competition sites??
Otherwise I would suggest renting a couple of movies Bring it on , Bring it on II and try watching some of the moves and have her put her own twist on them. It worked for my daughter when she tried for dance team.
If nothing else they are good to get you in the right frame of mind.
GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!
Hmm, you did not know these are actual sweaters??

so will there be an actual stimulus check?
and how long will the extra $13 be there?
What does a person have to do to see an actual DOCTOR these days?
Getting in to see my doctor is a nightmare. You really need to plan to be sick about 3 weeks in advance. I don't like seeing PAs and NPs for a couple of reasons. One is that I don't feel like I should have to pay the same copay for someone with less qualifications. The other is that I hate having to give my whole history from scratch every time I see someone and, in my area, PAs and NPs turn over like lovebugs.
Last night I was seen at the Walk-In Clinic near me (see not being able to get in to own doctor, above) as I was pretty sure I had an ear infection. I saw a MED STUDENT who did the whole exam, unsupervised, and was then handed a script for Zithromax by a PA. No doctor at all. ARGH! Now these people were very nice but, when I finally admit I'm sick enough to need a doctor, I want a DOCTOR. ARGH!
Thanks for listening to me rant. On with your normal programming.

PS Bilateral ear infections, sinus and throat too. Maybe I won't wait quite so long the next time!
Do you mean the actual hours of school. or also time spent

Has anyone read this book "The Shack?" I have heard rave reviews on this book. It is said to be lifechanging. I bought this and am on the 3rd chapter.

Or...take notes from Dwight from "The Office" (sm)
Dwight Schrute: Yes, I have decided to shun Andy Bernard for the next three years... which I'm looking forward to. It's an Amish technique; it's like slapping someone with silence.
Dwight Schrute: I was shunned from the age of 4 until my 6th birthday, for not saving the excess oil from a can of tuna.
SHUN THE OFFENDER!

Does anyone remember "The Gathering" with Ed Asner? sm
We used to watch it religiously every year. I can never find it on TV anymore. Then, of course, there is "A Christmas Carol" with George C. Scott - the best Scrooge ever!
Alton Brown's "The Chewy"
I've tried all of the chewy chocolate chip recipes out there, and this is the best by far. The recipe calls for giant cookies, but for Christmas, I make them mini-sized, using about 1 heaping teaspoon of dough per cookie. They bake faster, so watch them carefully. I also add pecans to the recipe. I've made them with bittersweet chocolate chips and macadamia nuts, too, and those were INCREDIBLE.
Be sure, however, to really take your time creaming the butter and sugars. And let the melted butter cool to room temperature before mixing with the sugar. The creamed butter and sugar should be thick and fluffy and smooth, almost but not quite peanut butter consistency. If it's not, the cookies will go flop when they come out of the oven, and they don't look as pretty. They still taste great, but they aren't high and pretty.

I hate the phrase "the patient expired"

Love his book "The Stand" - but that was a super flu - sm
that killed you quick. From what I have read most people live through the swine flu, no deaths in the U.S. as yet I believe. Probably like any flu, the very young, and very old have the most to worry about, and those immuno-compromised of course.
She may be asking about it as a form of birth control, too. Time for "the talk." 13 is NOT too

I think the OP's disgust was aimed mostly at "the system" in general. Picture this...
you awaken at 5:00 a.m. after only having slept 4 hours, get the children off to school, work a grueling 8 hours transcribing for incomprehenisble dictators, while in between getting the house work done and prepping dinner until you remember you have to pick up the kids and take to practice, and you need to make one last stop out of your grueling day to stop at the market and boom. You encounter what she did. Sometimes it makes you wonder why you bust your hump day in and day out, year after year, for the mere pennies this so-called profession provides while others are getting handouts. So she had a 'moment.' That's all. No more, no less. Give her a break.
"The Party" with Peter Sellers. None funnier. Not a well known movie, but hysterical. nm

yeah, yeah - Was/still am a Sam Cooke fan...
have a series of his albums (Sam's) and my older sister was into Jackie Wilson (he died very young)......never will be anything like Motown was..........*nods*......
Yeah!
I'm so glad to hear she's improving. :-)
yeah
i tell ya it is the account, the others mt's complain about it too. i understand all the companies have their good and bad, but i have no idea who i should be looking at for rad work and who i should stay away from. there are always gonna be disgruntled exemployee. i would just like some unbiased opinions on who to look at and who to stay away from!
Oh yeah she was
She may not have had a choice in keeping that boy for awhile. This woman didn't even do a good job at acting like she was sad at her daughter's death. If Anna hated her mother at the time, she's perfectly entitled to. You don't have to love your mother just because shes your mother, just because its the right thing to do. Unfortunately they were not able to mend their differences and give forgiveness before her death. The moment was what it was, at the time she hated her so I believe her wishes should be respected.
Yeah!
I'm glad you did it. I hope things improve for the kids.
yeah, i just went to the doc sm
it was a new patient visit. i thought i'd try a different doc, but i like my old doc better. i didn't talk to him about being tired alot. i did talk about my leg. i have vericose veins in my left leg that give me problems. i'm only 35, but feel old! ha! my leg will swell a little, is warm to the touch and aches almost every day. you sound like you do really good! i wish i could get myself on a good schedule so i can at least walk every day. my 5 y/o will be starting kindergarten in the fall, both my kids will be gone all day so i hope to get on a better schedule than what i'm on now. my 5 y/o now goes to preschool three days a week and i take him and pick him up, takes time away from my work, so then i sit here and try to stay caught up on my work. my bp runs ok i guess. when i went to the doc on wednesday, it was 118/??? 80 something i think. what is considered low??
thanks for your input!
Oh yeah!
Yeah, but if she is saying
she forgot it at home, then it can't be true. She would remember eventually if it is sitting there at home. I don't know what I would do, guess it depends on your relationship with her. As for me and my sister-in-law, I would simply say don't lie to the poor child, just tell him you didn't have the money to buy him anything and you're sorry!
Yeah, tell me
about it! They are nasty! That's why I would actualy like to take my kids to a nice beach this year!
YEAH RIGHT!
You watch he will turn around and sue! I glad they refused service. He is so arogant!
Yeah, and they will tell you that they
will accept a settlement, and take a lesser amount as a payment in full, but what they don't tell you unless you pin them down on the phone is that they will put that on your credit report, that it was settled for less than the full payment.
Yeah me!
Miss Lily's mom here. I went to the vet today to go over Lily's lab work. We had her tested for every allergen known to man and she's allergic to mites off the chart basically. I also brought my brother's dog in since she has a lipoma the size of a softball that I want removed. Anyhoo, the vet was talking about how hard it is to find good help with the animal for the weekends and how hard it is to truly tell if someone will be good with the animals or not until they get in there. I told her I was looking for something besides transcription to do part time, so she gave me a job. :-) It's mostly cleaning but I'll get give the weekend animals their meds and treatments and do some filing and typing...all that fun stuff. I didn't even ask what she paid, as I'm sure it isn't much but it will be a nice change of pace. Plus I get free vet care. :-)
yeah....
it's called YMCA.
Oh yeah, here we go...
I can sure sympathize with you here. My mother is going through same thing. I have 5 siblings, there are(were) 4 girls 2 boys. My next to oldest sister was in an auto accident 12 years ago. She was one of those champagne on a beer budget and just thought she was better. She and the younger of 2 boys were like peas in a pod. Very close. She was in a vegetative state after the accident. My brother was in charge of her SSI money and such. He would bring my mother money every 2 years. Well at 5 years he just quit speaking to everyone, even his child. Have not seen or heard from him in 7 years. Why would you just quit speaking to your family? No one has done anything to him. He dated a friend of mine one time and told her he was from Canada and that he had a different father than us and that was adopted and not to ever let my baby sister know because she would be devastated. Well ???. He had/has this fixation with Canada. He is not from Canada. He even looks like my father so it is obvious. No reason for him to be ashamed. We are not well off but we are certainly not lacking and we are all hard workers. He has just disappeared. My mother tried to kill herself when she was pregnant with him because of other reasons, but blames herself for him being this way. She did not harm her pregnancy, just believes in things coming full circle. Well sister that was in accident passed away back in Nov. This brother does not know that we are aware of. Older sister has a pill addiction (I’ve told this story on here before, sorry.).
At any rate she allowed my mother, who was taking care of her recently after some surgery, to see her messed up on some pills. Mother and I did a mini intervention back in April, have not heard from or seen sister since. Mother used to speak to her every day.
I just saw her today after going by to pick up something she had of my mothers. She asked how mom was doing, I said fine and probably better if you would call her and talk to her. Her response was…”ell the phone works both ways. She could call me.” I said, yes your right it does work both ways and you were in the way so you pick up the phone and apologize. Her response, “Well she’s the mother she should know better.” This girl is 50 years old, how childish and irresponsible is that. I feel she owes an apology and my mother said, which is true, what good is it if she does not mean it. She just does not want to see her end up a vegetable like my sister. So she feels now she has lost 3 children. My mother is 70y/o and does not need this stress.
You don’t either. You just have to reach a point that you must move on with your life. My mother dwells on this and how do you just walk away? Makes me so angry. Told sister that our little sister would be coming in from Michigan (darn near canada! HMMMM ..joking) in July and told her when and that we were planning to spread sister’s ashes then. “Well we’re going on vacation that week”. Well fine, I say let them go. If she can sleep at night and the drugs are more important than her family, I say so be it. I’ve been really freaking about trying to find my brother in the last few months. Was told that if I could find SSN I could check with SSD and they would tell me who paid taxes in last on him. For all we know he could be dead somewhere but how do you find someone who obviously does not want to be found! What are they thinking!
The way my mother feels is that people like that that don’t even care for their own flesh and blood cannot care for anyone, much less themselves. They did not mind asking for money and a place to live everything they needed it and she always gave to them.
Oh, yeah sm
That's the first place I feel it. Do whatever you can to reduce the stress and if that doesn't work, see your doctor.
Of course, I am good at giving advice, but I haven't seen a doctor about my stomach problems. 
Yeah let me know - thanks (nm)

Yeah, my cat. Should have kept the cat.
Yeah, what is it about
yard sale buyers who think they can dictate what time an individual seller has to be open for "business." ? If I want to start at 9:00, then my sale is only for those shopping after 9:00 - don't be knocking on my door. @@
