You kidding me?! You're not wrong at all!

Someone should sit by the tree and hand out one present at a time...an older sibling or adult. They should read the gifts tag on it for the child (you know, who it's to and who it's from) and hand it to the child to be opened and subsequent reaction captured in memory or on film, thanking the gift giver verbally or hugs (the best thank you, in my opinion!), and then proceeding to the next gift. It should be a family event, well, at least that's my opinion of it, not pillage and plunder.
On-looking family can be kept busy with munchies and beverages.
Man, I would be such a Nazi of a parent, I swear!

LOL I know you're probably just kidding...sm
But your dog is probably not gay. If one dog is 'mounting' the other, that's just normal dog behavior - dominance, playing, or 'practicing' if the dog is young.
Female dogs will do the same thing (mount another dog) with males or other females for the same reasons (dominance or in play). It doesn't mean they're gay.
Dogs sometimes even do this with stuffed animals or a person's leg. It has nothing to do with their sexual preference. It's just a normal dog thing. ;o)
BTW, spaying or neutering will curb the behavior (and has many other benefits as well).
I hope you're kidding....

Oh you're kidding! Blazing Saddles is one of the funniest movies
And no, I'm not a guy.
you're welcome but you were NOT wrong...sm
I do believe they also threw panties at Englebert Humperdink....it was just that it began with Tom Jones of that music genre and I consider Tom and Englebert to be similar types of crooners....*S*
So you were NOT wrong I don't believe 
I don't think you're doing anything wrong Lee (sm)
Sometimes people put a one-sentence reply in the subject line only and the rest of the message is automatically blank. If they can't fit the reply in just the subject line, sometimes they even use the space provided by the "name" line to finish the sentence.
I think the proper etiquette is to write (sm) for "see message" in the subject line if there's more to be read, or (nm) for "no message" to help speed things along for the reader so they don't waste their time clicking on something that isn't there.
A lot of folks don't identify themselves the same with every post because they want to stay anonymous, which is cool. I'm old school...I'm always "Hayseed" because whatcha see is whatcha get. I could use my regular name, Kathy, but there I'm sure there are a gazillion Kathy's and it's just easier to keep things straight that way. 
Sorry, you're wrong!
And YOU haven't followed the whole chain of events. Do not judge lest you be judged.
Not sure you're looking at it the wrong way....
What the OP posted was not about depressing the women of today or making them feel worthless. It is an encouragement to take time for yourself and saying that's the healthy thing to do. It's saying not to feel guilty or worthless and that you SHOULD care for yourself. It's also saying that those feelings are perfectly normal, as most women do feel that way. It's a positive approach saying, yes others feel the way you do, but it's not healthy and you should try to change that thought process.
I will say that, though it's a double standard, I know some women who take all the time they need for themselves, and basically people think they're unbelievably selfish. I
Not saying you're wrong but sm
Never put anything in writing or read it first and erase it before you send it. I was in a similar situation with a family member demanding we send monthly money to someone and I wrote back in anger years ago. This has been used as a weapon over my head for 20 plus years. I wish to God I hadn't written that letter. But I can see where you would. I just learned not to do this either by snail mail or E-mail (or even a note left around the house). They could print it out and bang you over the head with it and you don't deserve that. I know how angry you were and should be, but I hope you learned a lesson. I know I did, I am a good person and I made myself look bad by responding that way. They say, "respond but don't react" and it's very difficult when you deal with dysfunctional people. I only made myself look bad and them look like the poor innocent victims. I never apoligized though as they had no right to ask for such a thing in the first place. Feel better! Apologizing via e-mail would only give them more ammunition. Let is go and learn from it. I did.Families - better off without them!
If you're saying it's wrong to conclude
that this has to be caused by psychosis or at least a terrible drug reaction, I don't agree. The scary thing is that I suppose such a thing could happen to any of us. But I would not believe somebody could get all the way through all the training to be an astronaut and be able to fly missions and then have this big of an "error in judgement." It is much more than an error in judgement.
You're very wrong. The Bible is very much up for
I had a baptist pastor tell me that I should not marry out of my race and that it's in the Bible... So what do you say to that?
Believe what you want and interpret it how you want, but then don't say that others are sinners when you are not GOD!
You're SO wrong! Animals DO think and feel! - sm
A dog is a *pack* animal, and when it doesn't live in a wild pack like a wolf, and lives in the company of humans instead, it considers the humans it's pack. This includes the hierarchy, too. This is why many people have no control of their dogs - the dog has established itself as the *alpha* dog.
Dogs thrive on the company of their family. A *lone wolf* is an unhappy wolf, and a dog abandoned in a yard for weeks on end (or even in an apartment all day) is definitely an unhappy dog.
you're dead wrong - in the words of Emma Lazarus

Perhaps you and all your ancestors would have liked to be put *back on the boat* - you *sound* intolerant and the only thing I'm intolerant of is INTOLERANCE.

I agree about minimal dairy, but nothing wrong with grains IMO (unless you're a raw foods faddist
or have some sort of special dietary needs. Seeds and nuts are great, but keep in mind that they tend to be high in fat so shouldn't be used *too* heavily.
You ead my response wrong, terribly wrong
I am trying to ask what does she think it will help, not being nasty- tell me and I will try this. I would stand on my head and gargle peanut butter if I thought it would help - I wanted to know why a letter? They are thumbing their noses at the courts - commanded to appear- I was there and they werent.
You're not 'low-class', you're FUNNY, & a good writer!
Which is often the case then someone is the first to cast stones!

You have got to be kidding!
I had not known of this. Thank you for sharing this information. Good to know!
You are kidding, right?
They are talking and you have a problem with this? Geeze. I think it shows a real maturity to maintain a friendship with an ex-spouse especially with no kids involved. Now if they are having a 'relationship' that is very different but that is not what you said. Apparently you are not big on forgiveness and real big on control and jealously.
No kidding- at least now
more people are seeing that. For the last several years this administration has reminded me of the story "The Emperor Has No Clothes" where the problem has been obvious but nobody wanted admit it. Now all the politicians are falling over themselves explaining how they were "always against the war" but they just never said so before now. Yeah, right.
actually, kidding or not, you are more right than you think..sm
deep pocket sheets are very expensive, between 200 and 300 dollars, and you still have to be careful about how deep the pockets are...they still might not be big enough. but for a couple more inches, they cost a whole lot more!
You have got to be kidding!
How does this woman stay in business?? If it were me, I would go back there one more time, to make it clear that she would never see a dime of my money, and exactly why. Perhaps her attitude works in her country or culture, whatever it is, but if she wants to sell to Americans she needs a major attitude adjustment. IMO, the only people who would buy from her are a) masochists or b) arrogant insecure people like her.
You are just kidding yourself
Let me tell you what could happen. You said not cheating, did he confess the other time while cheating or afterwards? Probably not while it was going on. A mother should be happy with herself first. Why be miserable so the kids would be happy?? They will grow up, leave 1 day and then what do you have? Still unhappiness because you might allow him to stay but then again if he is saying not loving you anymore, I doubt very seriously he is planning on staying, probably trying to cushion the blow some. If the kids mother is not happy, your kids are probably going to know that and that can cause problems there.
OMG - are you kidding?
Better check out CNN.
You are kidding me??? OF COURSE I will try it! sm
I was just thinking while putting on the mineral stuff when MK would come out with something because I'm sure they are "losing" customers (I'm not saying all) to the mineral make up wearers.
Of course, I am concerned now for the content in the makeup since Purity states they don't use talc, oils, etc. That will be my ultimate deciding factor. Thank you for this info, though!
No kidding!!!
I came on here today, and it was still the same topic! It's just taking over this entire page! We need some new topics on here!
Are you kidding me?
If Cuba is so wonderful, why do people die trying to get out? But I'll be glad to buy your boat ticket if you really want to go live there. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
are you kidding!!!!!
It most certainly can help a whole lot. Do you know how many people have no idea where pet store puppies come from. A whole whole bunch. If the word and pictures of this abuse is put out there by a mass publicity machine such as Oprah, hopefully the demand will go down and the supply will also. Oprah herself said she will never ever get another dog unless it is from the shelter herself and how this report has changed her views, so apparently she had no idea of this horrible industry too.
You have to be kidding me! sm
You must not have any children at all. Quick to sue? It's been over 2 months. I really don't care what other people think of me. My only concern is my daughter. You don't see the terror in her eyes everytime she sees a dog. You weren't here when she woke up from nightmares.
You're pathetic!
Are you kidding me.......
We have Guitar Hero I, II, III, and the 80's one. LOL! I even have my own guitar that I decorated for ME. Seriously considering getting my stepson Rock Band for his Wii. I'm 28 years old and I love that stuff. I don't play it much because I'm really busy, but I do sneak down to the basement to play from time to time.
You have got to be kidding.
I would eat in my car in the parkinglot before paying to eat inside a fast food restaurant. Part of their appeal is that it is cheap and I don't have to tip otherwise I might as well go to a regular restaurant. Wonder what they could do if you order at the register, say its "to go" and then change your mind and eat inside.
You must be kidding
Love tap?? Pain is pain and No means No, matter who is doing it. If the girl has already forgotten about it, then she is on her way to being a psychopath. I doubt very much the boy has forgotten, what with his throbbing arm.
Forgiving the little girl "as a Catholic" (guilt-wielding psychobabble aside), is absolutely beside the point. This is a 6-year old who is obviously not yet acquainted with the concept of right versus wrong & who is having some pretty serious control issues. It is the parents' responsibility to make sure she gets a VERY clear lesson about this VERY soon, and the teacher's responsibility to enforce this in the classroom. "Second chance" indeed. It would be absolutely irresponsible to "give her a second chance" without first making absolutely certain she knows what she did, knows why it was wrong, feels remorse, will never do it again, and expresses all of the above to everyone involved.
Good grief. Enough of that Berkeley crapola.
You have got to be kidding!...sm
How in the world do you fall in and not be able to get out. I mean couldn't you open it from the inside? I don't get it.
lol no kidding.
I think Paula Dean would love this recipe! :)
She did something similar a short time ago but used egg noodles in place of the hashbrowns and added spinach and chicken. Not sure exactly the recipe but it sounds like basically the same thing. I remember it looked really yummy.
Are you kidding me?
Are you kidding me? Why is it that when people ask for info and someone doesn't like an answer given then that person is being mean. Sorry if its rent or school or groceries or school I would pick rent and groceries, otherwise I wouldn't get on a board and cry about not being able to pay my rent. I also know plenty of people on WC who may not be able to do the job they were doing but can do something...so give me a break. I've been broke and down and out and I didn't say there is nothing I can do, I went out and did something about it, even if it is working 2-3 jobs, which may not be my perfect life but it allows me to pay my bills, my family had a nice Christmas and I paid cash for it so I don't have to worry next month how I'm going to pay for it.
OMG, no kidding??!! sm
I delivered a lot of babies in the Scientology community in my former life as a midwife, and I can tell you the nix on breastfeeding was real. The babies were put on a formula created by L. Ron Hubbard, and all I remember is that the main ingredient was potato water. Childbirth itself was natural, but no conversation could take place during the labor or birth so the baby wouldn't be imprinted with negativity.
Is this why I didn't see Katie at the Golden Globes with her hubby?
Are You Kidding Me?
He had genital warts and you still got with him? Ummm, you need counseling of some sort. Do you have no standards at all? He cheated on his ex....he has diseases....and you have mostly unprotected sex (once a week) with his disgusting behind?
Then you come on here wanting sane people to tell you that getting a cheat letter is nothing to be alarmed about? Your self esteem is so low that you have to justify his lying behind?
Girl....come on.....go get tested! Then get psych help!
no kidding
Besides which, if a woman will not be with a man who is not circumcised but who is otherwise clean & healthy -- MERELY because of "aesthetics" -- the man should definitely move on. She isn't worth his time.
no kidding
I guess for some people pushing 1 for English is really hard.
Are you kidding me!!
I just saw on the news that they are talking about not letting a Fast Food place be close to a school!
I am steamed!!! I went to a sex offender meeting and those scum bags can live anywhere! Even though, it says that they are not suposed to go into a tavern or lounge or be around a park, they plop them right next to a bar and a block from a park in our neighborhood! We have three level "3" sex offenders in a house that "they" say has eight other men there too. So you know they are ( level 1) sex offenders..I mean come on, what real man would live there with sex offenders?
SO they are more concerned about a child that might eat one to many french fries, but heck....let the sex offenders live next to a school or park, so they can watch the kids and know their patterns!
GEESH PEOPLE!!! Get your priorities straight!
No kidding!!
That is preposterous!! People get indignant about the wrong things. Let's keep our babies safe before we worry about them eating saturated fats! Good grief. I'm as outraged as you are.
Are you kidding?
I would kill for a neighborhood with a house like that!
So much for saying where I live. All the houses in my neighborhood are tiny little crackerbox style houses. Most of them don't take care of their yards even.
If the neighbors are complaining about the color, it must be a really nice neighborhood. They are all invited to come stay with me for a week. Then they can go back home and appreciate the purple house.
You are kidding, right?
I have watched Idol every year since it first started except for this one and it has been a total bore for me. Annoup was not professional, Danny is ok but nope they don’t have half the talent she has. If that were the case, don’t you think they would have been a lot bigger now than she is? Very few biggies come out of Idol, can count on 1 hand. These will probably turn the same, 1 record wonders.
All of them. Just kidding.... They are
canceling a lot of good ones, aren't they?
Medium
House
Grey's Anatomy
ER before canceled
Law & Order, all of them
CSI (original one)
Sopranos before canceled
Criminal Minds
The Mentalist
You are kidding, arent you?
From what I read on her post her husband probably is doing more harm to the child as it is now rather than good. He is a pot-head first of all, with anger and anxiety. This was going on before the father's death. A child picks up on what they see around them, well hello, guess what this child is watching probably on a daily basis?? I am the product of a divorce years and years ago and guess what, don't do pot nor any other kinds of drugs including alcohol, work each and every day, good citizen, never missed the fact my father not in the home every day, lucky me. This is so much rot when you have to worry about what will this do to the children!
No kidding, any bets on how soon
she will be out partying? I KNEW she would weasel out of this somehow.
Mom wasn't kidding - it IS all gone!
What a cute picture.
I was only partly kidding!
She seriously LOVES doing collages. Hopefully weird, political, avant garde collages will the next big thing in the art world! She will be rich, rich, rich. LOL
Are you kidding??? Do you even have kids???
Not all teachers are wonderful. Yes children should be at school on time BUT there are exceptions otherwise there would not be excused and unexcused tardies. For instance, I didn't hear my alarm is avoidable (unexcused) Mom had a flat bringing me to school that is unavoidable as fog would be so should be excused.
It sounds like she trying to be a nurturing supportive mom. It doesn’t matter whether the teacher has explained the assignment or not. It matters that her child did not understand those instructions and needed clarification. It also sounds like the teacher previously made the boy uncomfortable when he asked for clarification so he is now apprehensive of approaching her, in my opinion Mom acted appropriately by trying to contact the teacher and try open up the lines of communication and help her son to learn to problem solve. The teacher has made up her mind about the child and is clearly unwilling to communicate with the mom and has already started defending herself to others.
This is not the 1920's where parents blindly follow the teachers advice even if it is totally off base.
To the OP: RUN!!!! Do not walk remove your son from this obviously abusive teacher (yes intimidation is abuse in my book especially by a teacher to a 2nd grader NOT A TEENAGER) Any EDUCATOR that is already using the term effeminate in regards to a 2ND GRADER has problems and I would guess is homophobic. Your child deserves to be comfortable. This does not mean to yank your child from school every time they have a problem but this sounds more like the teacher has a problem and you do not need this attitude or this teacher to cause your son to believe there is something wrong with him which from what you have described is already happening. TAKE THE CHILD AWAY FROM THE PROBLEM. Then you can deal with the teacher and the school!!!!! If I can help at all or you need an ear email me.
Oh and the caps are not meant to yell/offend just to emphasize since bold did not work….
Lipstick on a pig.........just kidding!!!!
xx
You've got to be kidding me!
Normally I try really hard not to be mean/negative; however, "put on a cap of friendship" for a moment or two. There is no telling what this wife has been through and may deserve to wear the "injured wife" hat. I know exactly where she is coming from. The kids and I spend most of our time in the back of the house when he is home in order to avoid this man who is not the person I married. Do you think that is fair for us? - heck no!!
Suzane - My heart goes out to you and I hope that you find your husband soon!
