Maybe you should keep your legs closed

Closed by subscriber
I don't think it does as long as you make sure they make sure on your report it says "Closed by subscriber"...or something like that.
If it looks like the CC company closed it, then it would look suspicious.
I could be wrong.
I have sold some property, not closed on but
get this- the new "owners" have gone in (I was told they wanted to spring clean and thus the realtor gave them keys to the place to do so) and stripped the carpets that were there and also dismantled and took down part of a cabinet. The closing was to take place the first of July. I called the realtor and asked when did spring cleaning turn into renovation. One person had asked about a possible early move-in as their lease ran out today. I told realtor no moving in, nothing else done until closing. No answer from him- no emails answered, nothing. I sent him 1 yesterday saying - oh, never mind, I will check on my property myself either Thursday or Friday morning, hope I don’t find squatters there- guess what folks, now he calls late yesterday evening wanting to know can we close today. Oh, the power of persuasion. Some people really have the nerve!
That's because your mind is closed shut
like a trap.
Typical arrogance this man accused of us - LOOK, CURIOUS minds want to investigate and TRULY understand different cultures.
Unlike you like sucking down the lies the media and your government are handing you 24/7 WITHOUT bothering to see for yourself.
Never occurred to you his DERISION of us/the questioners may have been in the least justified?
Im not defending him, but I'm also not willing to dismiss or comdemn HIM out of hand, just because the powers that be are doing so and encouring us to follow suit.
NO SHEEP HERE.
Closed-minded people..
Did you ever think that perhaps she was using birth control pills, and perhaps even condoms?? You should know that neither of these methods are 100% effective, being in this field. And she is able to take responsibility for her child because she has the finances to do so..she isn't one of these women popping out child after child and living off of the government. I wish people would get off of their high horse and stop scoffing at the girl just because she ended up pregnant at 16. Sure, it might have been a mistake for her, but I don't see why everyone should come down on her when she is obviously doing the right thing. I would hate to see your daughter get pregnant at 16. But I can hear your reply now: My daughter wouldn't be having sex at 16. Or so you think.
Thanks for all your positive help, case closed sm
I am going to close this query now. I have had many wonderful e-mails and help on the board which I can print (well, most) and make a little portfolio for him to get some ideas. His wife has been working double shifts nursing to make ends meet and he has been caring for the kids and doing all to make the holiday reasonably good for them. He's been doing all nighters on researching and the company is very impressed with all the research he's done on his new job and product and are going to travel here to meet him and work with him to get him started, Everyone is positive and anxious to make this new innovative product introduction a success. There are no coincidences and paying it forward has been our family's way of life and we are grateful to all who e-mailed and posted positive little hints to ease the transition, we are from a small rural area and am not familiar with that area. Thank God for good people in the Christmas Spirit. I've helped many on the boards throughout the years under another name and feel fully rewarded. I will continue to pay it forward myself and God bless you great people. We had a death in his wife's family over the holidays which we were unprepared for and travel arrangements, funeral plans, babysitting, eulogy, etc.had to be prepared, and you made our life so much easier and renewed our faith. I will close the subject now, it has been a lesson in life, that's for sure.! The end - Merry Christmas to those who passed on their holiday helping spirit. You helped us through a difficult time. Thanks so much to the helpers (and I made some new wonderful friends.). God Bless!
Case closed on gifts - sm
I received the replies I needed. Thanks to those who understand. Obviously others haven't been there. Gift cards are not acceptable, it is a couple who are very different, as one of them wants "something to open" or a gift they "need" in which case it takes a trip to the store together for what turns into a high ticket item with no regard as to how much it costs. The other is appreciative of everything and anything. The answers I received reflect the personality differences I expected. It takes all kinds. I should know better.
Just closed on 4.375 interest rate! nm

Bay Bridge is closed for repair work all weekend -
so getting in or out of the city will be a total nightmare. I'm just gonna hang out at home and work on Monday, since I need the $$!
On Sunday there's a big (free!) rock concert at the polo field in Golden Gate Park, honoring the 40th anniversary of the 'Summer of Love' in S.F. in 1967. (Gad - was it THAT long ago?) Lots of the original bands will be there. (Sigh....Too bad Jerry Garcia still isn't around to take part....) So, if I can find a parking-place anywhere in the same zip-code, I may cruise on over there and hobnob with all the old hippies. Should be pretty cool.
(PS: I have a young, hippy-ish friend with a totally amazing tattoo of Jerry Garcia on one of her arms! I know SHE'LL be there for sure!)
The mansions are still here, but the Game Farm closed this spring

It was a nice day outside...we had the garage open but the inside door closed...
that wasn't the point of the question but thanks for your concern...
Locking doors
I'm the same way. I always keep my doors locked, no matter what. My hubby thinks that since we live in a rural area, we really don't need to, and he thinks I'm paranoid, but I do it just the same. We had lived in our home for about 6 months when a man came up to my front door and tried to open it. I had just gotten out of the shower and was running around in a towel. He was looking for a home that was for sale, which was down the road. I was so glad I had the habit of locking my doors!
Also you can just replace the doors
and drawer fronts if the framework of the cabinets are in good shape. Sometimes that gets a little iffy though if cabinets are old and no longer standard sizes. Home Depot and Lowe's sell a pretty good variety
I always keep my doors locked
There could be other people who want to come in besides just someone you know. I find this incredibly ridiculous in this time and age to keep open doors.
I always keep my doors locked sm
but in the house we used to live in you couldn't see into the den (we had french doors) duing the day. The room just looked dark. When my MIL or SIL would show up they would ring the bell and then they would press their face up to the door to see if anyone was in the room. I think this was worse than just walking in without knocking.
Locking my doors from now on.....
I had a very scary experience this morning and wanted to pass on my experience so everyone out there can protect themselves a little better too.
I live in a very rural area that is largely a farming community. We don't have town police, only county and they have to cover a very large county so if we need them in a hurry, it could take a little while. It took 27 minutes for them to respond to my 911 call this morning.
My husband left town this morning on business so it was just me and the kids home alone. I never lock my doors and when I am working, my back is to the front door.
About 40 minutes after my husband left, I was working along, listening to music softly while the kids were still sleeping. I never heard a car, car door, nothing.
The next thing I know, the dogs are going crazy in my bedroom. I hop up to see what's going on. I just thought someone was walking on the road and they were barking at them.
I walked into the bedroom and there stood a young hispanic male, probably in late teens or early 20s. He had just walked right into my bedroom through the sliding glass door. Evidently, he did not see my two pitbulls sound asleep on the bed.
So there this guy is standing, my dogs have him trapped between them and the door he closed behind him. I ran out to grab the phone and my gun. He then opened the door and split with both dogs tearing off after him.
There was an older model white toyota sitting in the driveway with another hispanic male sitting in the driver's seat. The runner jumped over the retaining wall to the driveway below and the guy in the car then saw the dogs running and he tried to get out of here in a hurry, slamming into a concrete post that our log splitter is chained to. Part of their bumper was laying in the driveway.
Just two weeks ago, someone busted out a plate glass window in a house not too far from here and took a bunch of electronic equipment.
So I'm standing out front, waving my 30-30 in one hand and the phone in the other as they take off up the road, which is a dead end. I went back into the house because by this time the kids were awake and wondering what was going on.
Two deputies showed up 27 minutes later. One goes up the road and the other takes my statement and helps me round up my dogs, which were pretty riled up still. Those dogs were just running circles around the yard.
The first deputy finds the car up the road, calls the second, he goes up, they were walking up one of the old horse trails and found the two kids hiding behind some rocks. Fools.
Both of them are behind bars now and..... I am no longer leaving my doors unlocked EVER. I'm also keeping a few shells at my desk in case I ever need to load my 30/30 in a hurry. I didn't have time to grab any this morning or I probably would have blown a few holes in that car and those kids.
I always lock my doors
my husband can come home and I never even hear him enter the house. My dogs usually bark at strangers but not at my hubby. If they are in the backyard the bark at leaves falling off trees, so I don't know if they might be barking if I am in danger or not. My son laughs cause I lock our glass stormdoor when it is warm outside and leave the large door open. He says there is no way that little piece of glass is going to stop someone from coming in but I say at least I will hear the glass break. I'm really glad you are okay.
I keep my doors locked because my
office is in the basement and I cannot hear a thing, not even the doorbell. My kids will come home from school and even though I know the time they get home they will come in my office to let me know they are home and scare the living daylights out of me. Glad everything turned out okay for you and they caught the guys.
I always lock the doors/windows too, but
then today I saw this.

Scarier stuff every day.
i read that the mob broke the doors down
if they got it on camera, i think whoever knocked this person down should be held accountable.
We lock our doors, rural here - sm
we do not have much crime here but that may change with people out of work, etc. We have on occasion left doors unlocked when we go out for a while, by accident, and all has been well. We live on a private road though with 13 houses so we all look out for each other and strangers cars driving by (only 1 way in or out), etc. Routinely leave the dining room back door unlocked just because we let the dogs in and out there and forget to lock it when we go out. But one of the first things we did when we moved in was I insisted on key deadbolts on the front door and the door from the garage which opens into our family/great room and our 3 back doors (too many doors on this house--have 4, one is a slider). So we have double locks on those doors, cannot hurt. Everyone I know locks up, foolish not to no matter where you live.
Do you lock your doors at night?
I thought of this question last night while reading. Do you lock your doors at night? Do you ever on purpose leave your car keys in the ignition?
I guess I just assumed everyone locked their doors. I know in the old days people in rural communities didn't all lock their doors, but I figured they do now. But I read a couple of books recently which were set in modern times and they talk about how no one ever locks their doors in their small towns. Do you, or know of anyone, who does not lock the door to their house?
Oh yes, the doors get locked at night...sm
My husband is a truck driver so I am home alone a lot. Even when he is home though at night I lock the door. You never know what kind of people are out there these days. I never leave my keys in my car either.
Dad went to high school with Jim Morrison from The Doors - sm
Saw the picture of him in the year book. My dad had a few classes with him and said he was just as weird as he was on stage. Imagine the entire class of 1961 in suits and ties and him in leather and a T-shirt. My dad recalls him loving to totally shock people in school with how he dressed and what he said. Imagine that!
yeah, I lock my doors, but have been told sm
it is not necessary. I just leased a new place I am moving into next week, and she told me she never locks her doors, could barely come up with a door key for the new place for me.
MT, work at home. I am more concerned about locking the doors when I am at home than when I am gone. Not a lot of crime in this area, thank goodness, just don't want to be intruded upon.
At 9 months old, the baby can't open doors, so...
what we did with my son in my house was close all doors to contain him in the living areas, thus, away from bathrooms and other potential hazards. Then, all you have to do is baby proof the main areas.
AnsweringMachines, DeadBolts, Offices With Doors
Yup, we've ALL been through this.
Maybe a separate IM name for work only would help? Obviously, you wouldn't want to tell your family and friends what that name is!
Oh, and you might want to change your voicemail:
Thank you for calling the _____ residence. If you are calling during business hours, please leave a message and we'll call you back as soon as we're home from work.
Working in the dining room would positively drive me crazy. Been there, done that, and nobody liked it! I even considered putting my desk in my walk-in closet for awhile, but I couldn't figure out where to string the electric cords and the internet connection.
Good luck!
Know how you feel, I scratch my back on doors or corners (sm)
rubbing up against them like an old cow on a tree or post. Maybe I ought to check into finding one of those too. Though my family enjoys laughing at my unusual gyrations.
Change the locks on your doors, nail the windows shut
and fill out a restraining order against him.
Kinda funny story - company had to close doors temporarily because (sm)
someone (I think immigration) came to visit personnel at that company and found over 30 illegals using the same social security number. I guess that company didn't save much on that little venture.
you were smart to do that.
I am so glad I posted. Even though I declined on that rat hole, I need all this for future referance.
Thanks. You guys are great.
You are smart
Although so many posters are telling this is normal, I was disturbed by your original post because you seemed alarmed at his tone of voice. Of course kids say hateful things to each other all the time, but the fact that a 10yo would say this to his mother, not in the heat of anger directed his sister, tolls the alarm bell.
It is normal for siblings to fight, but there is also plenty of abuse within families which would never be tolerated if a stranger were to do. I've seen people whose children have thrown scissors, at each, stuck forks in a sibling's tongue, broken bones on purpose, and they parents have actually tolerated this.
You sound a great mom. You recognize his perfectionism which he needs to learn to recognize and deal with as soon as possible. The very best to you and your family.
My kids are smart. sm
Haysees I have always liked reading your posts, but don't critisize my children that you know nothing about. My husband and I are very active in our children's lives and that is how I know they have some pretty wonderful teachers.
What smart oddballs you have.
They sound really fun. I might still have a cat if she'd have used the toilet ... instead of my bed!
Grr.
She is one smart cookie
You can't fool her! I'm glad she's eating. That is always a good sign. Hope you both have a good day.
I wasn't trying to be smart, I was
actually confused.
Smart girl
You are right on track. Right now don't worry about divorce or not. Take advantage of NOW while you can and get to school. Medical transcription has no where to go now. There is no bright future for it where you can "advance your career." I too am in a marriage I would leave if I could, but I want to be smart about it and get that education first.
smart comments
Me, too. Makes me want to jump in and blast them back! No reason for it.
Smart mouths
Chances are the parents have smart mouths as well, or they have no backbones.
I would have sent the kid home last night when he condescended to you at the end of the first argument. If he is almost 11 and hasn't learned to respect other people's rules, he probably will never learn this lesson. Attitudes are pretty well set by that age and if he gets away with that kind of behavior at home, he's going to have a tough row to hoe in the real world.
Congrats to you! I would not have that kid in my house again if I were you and I would your son and that boy know the reason why.
I think he is smart by admitting it now.

How is saying think MTs are smart being uppity? I

Some women are too smart
They're brainwashed, and may never wise up. Nowhere in the Bible does it condone this type of lifestyle. Some lecherous man declared himself a prophet and wrote his own book - and that's what they base their religion on, not the Bible.
smart type
I had someone tell me that Stedman's smart type was the way to go as far as spell checker and speed typing program. what do you use? and have you used it?
I said she was smart, but after her interviews
thought everyone would know the truth. That statement of her being smart on my end was said tongue in cheek.
you are one smart lady and sm

That was a smart call. NM

Sounds like a smart decision.
I'd so the same if I were you. I will pray for optimal outcome for you.
Regarding hormones, remember that the recommendation is now now against hormones after some huge studies. Use has decreased a lot, and for the second year in a row, cancer rates have dropped substantially. But I don't know anything about risks of short-term use, and maybe that's what you are considering.
Very smart. We should all follow, but for some reason, it's almost sm
entertainment for some. Isn't that sad?? We find "entertainment" in someone else's grief and sorrow. What else do you call it? I hardly ever watch t.v. In fact, I didn't find out about the shootings until 3:30 when I read that 30+ people were dead! I was shocked!
The media wouldn't give it to us if we didn't show intense interest in it. It seems the more drama it is, the higher the ratings. So, so sad.
Like I said, I read about the accounts on-line at People.com where they never have any news on there - just celebrity gossip. I know, it's not much better, but it's hardly ever death, shootings, earthquakes, terrorism, kidnapping, and the like. I can't handle that kind of stuff.
The smart I was referring to was in regard to
