Yeah, my DH is like that, granted I don't go looking - sm

Posted By: Laura E. on 2007-02-16
In Reply to: I'm better than you attitude from - obnoxious relatives.

to expose my kids and am careful but they went everywhere with me when they were babies (still do of course). My DH would freak if I took them to the store or mall during the winter flu season, etc, don't touch the shopping carts (though he does have a point there) but my kids touched and never got sick. To this day neither one has ever had an ear infection, a couple colds, one had pneumonia briefly, the other strep throat once. But they both recovered quickly and are very healthy. It is just not smart to "protect" your child from everyday contact with germs and people. Funny though after all her ranting to you that she goes to the lion's den, so to speak, for a job. Have you asked her why she would want to work where there are so many germs for her child? Love to hear the answer to that one.

Your wish is granted.....
Your wish is granted! Unfortunately, due to bad weather and no sight of improvement, you are indefinitely stranded mid-flight at an airport where you are spending your holidays with the others who were on the flight. Basically, you are stranded with a large group of loud and hormone-filled young adults, the Girlz Gon Wild crew (what is this spring break?!) and a few babies with colic. How long will you have to hang out with this croud?! Aloha, baby! :)

I wish for a worry-free, stree-free day of relaxation.
Your wish is granted
Your wish is granted. Unfortunately, the doctors say your prognosis of coming out of the coma is not good, forcing your friends and family to enjoy the holidays whithout you. Merry Christmas 2007!!

My wish is to lose 40 pounds...


Your wish is granted! SM

Unfortunately, you end up finding it right where you left it along with an additional 40 holiday pounds! :(


I wish we'll have snow on Christmas! :)


your wish is granted
Unfortunately it is all dictated by a mumbling person who does not have a good grasp of the English language, plus is not prepared, so has to look through all of his notes, so that a 2000 second job will yield 10 lines, and there are 10 of these jobs just for you.

I want sunshine and no snow.
Your wish is granted.
You will have sunshine and no snow, but you will have a tornado instead, which will pick your entire house up and set you back down in Alaska, where you will have more snow than you can handle.

I want the HGTV guys to come do a makeover on my kitchen.
Your wish is granted...
Unfortunately, they arived two weeks before schedule. You had spent the whole night transcribing..your eyes were bulged and red, you had a twitch from listening to ESL dictators, your hindpart was sore from sitting - they thought they walked into an unknown cave. Bravo! They declared, and decided what should take two days would now take seven. They paraded family and friends through your house, the camera catching your every move. Finally, when it was time to air the show they named it "How not to design your house" followed by a picture of you yelling at your computer. BTW, you know live amongst circles (Sphere shapes are in this year).

I wish for a Free shopping spree.
Your wish is granted....

Congratulations on your free shopping spree....I love the 90-inch plasma tv, the beautiful new wardrobe of clothing, the awesome selection of dvd's, the wonderful new cookware, (the list goes on and on)....Unfortunately, there was a slight error with your game piece...you were one digit off from the actual winning number, so all of your items that you chose will go to the real winner *ME* but as a consolation prize for being such a great sport we will give you a year's supply of JollyTime popcorn! LOL!


I wish for a brand new home, newly built! :)


Your wish is granted.......
CONGRATS on your new home built on the side of a mountain with a gorgeous view and just in time for Christmas and all your Christmas guests. Unfortunately, with all the beautiful snow melting and the weight of all your excited Christmas guests, your gorgeous new home slid off its foundation on Christmas day and now sits in crumbles in a creek at the bottom of that beautiful view.

i wish to find a love in my life that will make me happy.
Your wish is granted....
You have found, Sam, the man of your dreams and he is absolutely perfect in just about every way...there is just one small problem, he was born Samantha. :)

I wish for a month-long European vacation.
Your wish is granted!
You're a peein'! But I can't imagine WHY in the world you'd wish for a bladder control problem.

I wish for lifetime maid service.
Your wish will be granted!

Snow falls upon your yard and home, how beautiful it is! Unfortunately, the roof caved in right on top of the Christmas tree and presents. Squirrels have scampered in and attacked the breakfast table with a vengence, Johnny's having a cow because his brand new PSP is buried in snow, and your husband hands you the snow shovel and says, "here it is honey, sorry I can't help cuz the games on!


I wish for a diamond necklace.


Granted, not everyone is as sharp as they - sm
should be about scams, but whenever times start to get hard, the flim-flam men come out of the woodwork. Recently in Oakland, 4 police officers were gunned down by a criminal. Their funeral was just a few days ago. Now there is a scam artist going to people claiming he is collecting money to 'help the families of the fallen officers'. And then he pockets it. Kind people just wanting to help get taken in.

Almost all of us wish we could make some extra, easy money at one time or another. And nowadays I think more people wish that than not. But most of the time, though, there's just no such thing as 'easy money'. But there will always be optimists and gamblers who feel some chances are worth taking, if they'll come out ahead in the end, and those people are of course EXACTLY who the flim-flam men & women are looking for.

I think the best rule of thumb during hard times or good times, is: If it seems to good to be true, it is. And NEVER put money up front for anything. And most CERTAINLY never put out money to an employer or an agent for a job. (I fell for that back in the 1970s, and was scammed big-time).
I don't take my life for granted, though. Even though I sounded sm
like a maniac. I love my at-home job - I consistently keep a QA score of 99% or higher - and I'm fast. I am one of a few who can do both, and I don't mean that in a sarcastic way.

I think MTing is a gift. I thank God to be able to do this job from home - screaming kids and all!

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)
x
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. @@


Yeah, I know-don't
rag on me. He was really sick a couple of years ago with a fever of 105 and I didn't want him upstairs. I wanted him downstairs with me so I could check on him all night and keep track of his temperature. Well, he has never gone back upstairs. His sister scared him up there and he is too scared to sleep up there. We are planning on fixing up his room soon and get him a new bed and hopefully, that will help. What is so unhealthy about it?
yeah, me too . . . nm
xx
Yeah, I know just how that is sm
Now, if I could only find my camera..... LOL. It's been underneath something for about 2 weeks now. Bet it shows up when I move all the Christmas presents.
Yeah (sm)
Why can't we get someone in there who is like a regular Joe or Jane like I know--"Yeah, I'm sort of religious. You know, I go to church on Christmas and Easter if the kids haven't eaten 15 pounds of sugar already. Otherwise, I usually sleep in a bit and get ready to watch the Nascar race."

I'm not dissing religion by any means--that's not the intent of my post. I'm just interested that all the candidates always profess that they are so religious when it's time to pander for votes. Sure, I believe some of them are religious, but I have a hard time believing that they all are so religious as they want us to believe.

The best thing I think I heard Ron Paul say (and I'm no Ron Paul fan) was something to the effect of how unfortunate it would be if Mitt Romney (who I am not a fan of either) or anyone else was not elected simply because of religion. I couldn't agree more.
Yeah, sure!
At my new job we all come inside for breaks, and I'll find myself sitting at a table of the quiet guys because that's who showed up when I did for break. They just keep their heads down and look at horticulture magazines, and I can't think of a thing to say that would be worthy of breaking the silence they are probably enjoying. Because they're guys. Ha!
Yeah, maybe that's it....
I don't feel sorry for them, though.  I believe that they live that lifestyle willingly, that they believe it is a religious duty.  I am a Muslim woman and I wear a "uniform," too.  People look at me many times as if they feel sorry for me.  I just laugh inside.  I am living my life the way I want.
yeah

My mom is kind of a natural healer person and I have been doing this since I was small.  It isn't helping.  I tried colloidal silver in my throat and nose too, but nothing.  I am thinking its not an allergen or a bacteria but related to my period since it comes the exact day before my period and lasts until day 2 or so of my period and then its gone like it never happened... I just wake up and all the symptoms are completely gone.


Thanks though.. its a good idea for anyone who hasn't tried it.  I know it wipes infection away for me superbly!


Yeah - don't do it
Didn't she learn the first time. HA HA HA
Yeah!

Ya oughta try to find a 46D -- almost impossible.  However, I do buy mine at Catos and at Lane Bryant.  They have really pretty ones.  My problem is I need an underwire for support, but they are the most uncomfortable things in the world  


I HATE BRAS!!!!  I am from the bra-burning generation - - hee hee!  Burnt a few in my time, and would like to burn a few more.


 


Oh yeah.........
Vin Diesel is hot! If you've ever seen the movie Ferris Bueller's day off with that song with the guy with the real low voice that says "oh yeah.....oh yeah...." That song pops in my mind when I see Vin Diesel. I saw him interviewed after he did the Pacifier movie. Sounds like a really nice guy in "real life".
Yeah
I gave fake information. oops
Oh yeah,
Velveeta is much harder to grate, as I'm sure you can imagine . . . LOL!!!
Oh yeah...sm
He is extremely laid back. He loves EVERYBODY! We have to watch him when we take him to the park cuz he'd just load up into anybody's car and go right along with them. Lol. I love love love the breed; however, I don't think I'll ever have another one. We got lucky with cody, but my mom had one and she had MAJOR problems with skin, allergies, hips, all sorts of things. They are just notorious for having big health problems. So, after cody I think we're gonna stay away from the bullies. Wonderful dogs, but just not very healthy. It's sad.
Oh yeah...sm
I think I was probably 6 or so.  I remember those squeaky wood floors at Woolworth's (sp?) and I'm not sure about the store with the elevator just like you described, but I think was Sterling's.  I remember wanting to just sit at the counter where people were eating (eating there would be totally out of the question), but I knew not to even ask.  I was raised that kid's didn't ask for anything, and you were grateful for everything!
