sorry..that should read my husband AND I. too early. nm.
nm
if they had read their history books, they would not need to ask..nm

That's why I don't read anything else but self-help books. Guffaw. nm
Y me?
I've read the books (sm)
We actually got HBO solely for the reason of watching this series. So far it is...okay? I love the books but the series is not sticking strictly to them, and is changing some things that I don't think should be changed. However, by itself, I do like the series. Just hate it when they go from books and change majorly seriously big things!!

My daughter had the books and I read them
at 50. Absolutely love them and am going with my daughter and her friends to see it. I was disappointed after I read the last book that there were not more.
I am currently also watching TrueBlood on HBO and absolutely love it. It is based on a series of 9 books and I am on book #5. Certainly would not recommend the series or books for young teens (very graphic in all aspects), but very good series. The series is not following the books, which is a little disappointing however.
I only hope the Twilight movie in in line with the books.
I just read 2 books on menopause sm
Apparently once you miss your first period, it takes on average 4 years for the peri- and full-blown menopause to be completed. Some get through faster, some slower. I'm 50 and have only missed a single period so far, but the mood swings are horrendous already, as well as the increased bleeding. EEEK - this is not gonna be fun!
Google Dr Christiane Northrup; she's written extensively about the process.
Do you remember the names of any of the books you read?
Not OP but feeling the same way for a long, long time. Would like it to be better.
I believe we read the John Gray books because that was what was out then, but -
I think Dr. Phil's books are better and more practical. We got the relationship book when it came out to see if there was anything else we could work on. Go to counseling and REALLY work on it. It will work if you give it a chance (for the most part). I will tell you there were couples in our class who were FAR worse off than we were who said at the end they never felt closer. Not sure where they are at now, but I know for a fact my hubby and I have never been closer or happier. Remember, put as much effort into your anger, resentment, etc., as you do into cultivating a good relationship. Most of the time men are clueless the little things they do harden our hearts to them and are very open to doing what it takes to make us happy once they find out what we want and need. Good luck to you. :-)
experiment books, how to draw books, origami, map skill books

Do young girls still read Nancy Drew books? - sm
I know I read them when I was around 10 or 11, but that was 30 years ago and I am not sure what girls read these days. I am trying to find someone who would really appreciate them because I believe my mom buying me my first one truly led to a love of reading that continues today (true crime no less!). I may just donate them to our local library. Any other ideas? 
Does anyone read the Janet Evanovich Stephanie Plum books? I am hooked! sm
My MIL gave me the first three and said I would love them. I did but too much because I stayed up until 3 last night to finish the last one! I went out today and bought 4 through 13! I feel like a junkie but I absolutely love them!
Both my parents took it early but I mean 5 years early - sm
as you are only talking a year I would wait as you will get more money in the long run, versus taking it a year early. Remember it stays at whatever it will be when you take it early the rest of your life. So if it is $500 at 65 but $600 if you wait, I'd wait. My mom started drawing it at 62, she died at 68, so if she had waited she would not have made up the difference; so in her case it paid to take it early, but most of us don't plan on dying shortly after retiring.
And you have a right to your beliefs, however (sm)
as I said in my original post, these people do not represent Christians. They are a hate group and should not be considered anything other than that.
Yes, beliefs would be correct. Why would you sm
live your life like that - not being positive or certain about anything? I, for one, believe in God deeply and I take Him at His word and if He makes a promise I hold Him to it and He's yet to forsaken me. Unless you've been there I guess you can't understand what I mean.
I know things can happen. I've been through some extremely difficult times in my life (losing a child), but I do say words like refuse and I AM, or I WILL and then I do them. I don't leave my life up to chance. I don't say I hope to do this or that. If I want something bad enough I go after it and usually don't quit until I get it. Yes, it's in my beliefs. It's my core. It's who I am. I am very positive, despite the many setbacks I've had in life.
I would not bash anyone for their beliefs
however, I do disagree. If my child came to me that he/she were gay, I would never in a million years tell them I disapprove of their lifestyle and that God does not approve either. As a mother, I would want my child happy and comfortable with their sexuality. I think a lot of damage is caused by parents who enforce their beliefs on their children. With it comes guilt, low self-esteem, unhappiness, self-disdain and anger. I would never ever subject my child to those feelings no matter how I felt about the situation.
I've sold 125 books on half.com but most were my childrens college text books. I have sold some
t I picked up for a quarter at a thrift store. Old Dr. Seuss books do well. I price them a bit lower than the rest of the pack and put that they are from a nonsmoking home. Half.com does take a small commission but they deposit the check in your bank account monthly.
I think the question is, is he secure with HIS beliefs?
I always wondered about religious zealots....Like those who are extremely "homophobic" but then turn out to be closeted gays (ever seen American Beauty?) maybe he's just trying to convince himself he believes.
Beliefs, those do not even play into any of this warped thread
I just believe in what I think, no amount of reading could ever change my mind because I have seen for myself, not something I have read- seen as in children crying trying to urinate, trying to get the prepuce pulled back, hurting and yelling. You are ridiculous.
For example, I have a lot of opinions and beliefs....do you want to send your child (or another chil
and let me tell them what I think is right and wrong and teach them however I see fit? Or do you think the child's parents have that right?
Books! That's it? Books! I was expecting
maybe some leather chaps or some strap ons by the sound of your post! lol
Too early for me
not an entire hair but head-full of hair.
Get up early
I have a 20 month old and a 4 year old and have been doing this since they were born. I have their toys in the same office and have them confined to a couple of rooms of the house. I get up early and get a good part of my day in before they even wake up. Then, I take a break for lunch (breakfast, get dressed, etc.). Then I finish up the rest while they play or watch cartoons. It really works out pretty well, although at times it is trying. I just try to remind myself it is better for them to be home with me.
It was in the early 90's
And that hospital was known for its psych ward, and just happened to be the closest one to where I worked. I don't recall what tests they did (but they didn't want to do many on an ER basis, I remember that, so they were pushing me to become an inpatient). Mostly they just sat and asked me questions, decided it wasn't life-threatening (and possibly not even "real'). Maybe I sounded crazy because I was scared enough by it to go there in the first place. As they took it so lightly, and I realized I could function with it (though it was distracting), I decided to just let it be. I was embarrassed because nobody I knew had ever had something like that, and it did sound "crazy" when I started telling people it felt like there were worms or bugs crawling beneath the skin of my scalp and face...and now the ER thought I needed the psych ward....so I decided to quit talking about it. Which turned out the be the thing to do, in my case.
Early as possible
Consequences of choices should be taught as soon as they can hear. This is an important concept in so many ways. It is basic and teenagers grown-ups who have not learned it in childhood don't usually commit suicide over an insult even though they may have major problems with "shaking it off." I believe, again, that there was more than meets the eye in this case. If you never learned in childhood you should make it your priority to learn it now and share it with everyone you know. This was not a "gesture" of suicide, which is often a reaching out for help and/or attention. The method chosen was lethal.
Thank you - can you tell me what the early (sm)
signs or symptoms were? I do let my son pretty much wear what he wants and have his hair how he wants. I have been asking him to get it out of his eyes and I don't want to let him wear old shirts with stains but I'm very lenient with him. When the clothes are in the laundry though, there is not much I can do. I guess I could put him in charge of making sure they are clean? As far as early symptoms, was it anything like this? My son would get very upset if I moved any pictures on the walls or rearranged any furniture and he had a fit if I got my hair cut enough that he could tell a difference, this was up until he was about 5 or so. But he is a very good child, never really gets in trouble, has friends though he is very selective about them so has just a handful.
No, she's in her early 30s.
I love Grey's, too - Thursday nights, my work has to wait until it's over - completely addicted!
Through the rumor mill, I also heard that Patrick Dempsey was going to leave the show because he wanted more time with his family and to further his movie career. If that happens, I'm not sure I'll still be into it as much, but Eric Dane would still be a pretty big pull.

We usually go end June or early
July, but this year we waited until the first week of August and was already better on crowds!
Early August in AL
August 7 in the Prattville AL area.
Absolutely no way. I am in my early 30s and......
have a secret crush on my dentist who is in his 60s. Younger guys are too immature and don't know a thing...
Yes I am sure, retire early and take your - sm
benefits at a reduced rate. This is from the yearly SS Statement I get in the mail. Also in teh "Before you decide to retire" section; "If you choose to receive benefits before you reach full retirement age, your benefits will be permantely reduced. However you will receive benefits fora longer period of time." (in theory of course). This is from my statement dated August 20, 2007; I kind of doubt it has changed. I remember when my parents decided to take it early; they did not really need the money but figured what the hey, and in my mom's case it worked to their benefit. You need to do the math and figure out the year to income ratio of the difference, etc. In my case, if I take it at 62 I would get $640 a month, wow; but if I wait until I am 67 I get $914-- $274 is not a huge difference but it is to many; and a fair amount to me even now. If I wait until I am 70, I get $1134 -- $220 more a month; now I doubt I'd hold out for that, but I guess it will just depend on my health and financial situation at that time. In order to make that money/break even on my benefits I'd pass on until I was 70; I would have to live until at least 82 to have made the 32K I would have gotten had I taken the $914 at age 67. ---So in my case I sure I will take it at my specified age of 67. I like working and keeping busy. Everything will be paid for then, so I am sure I will be able to live on earnings from a PT job until I decide to collect SS. But I have a ways to go as I am only 42!
No wonder I got my period early!!
:)
If I don't read before I go to sleep I can't fall asleep. I will read sm
until I begin to fall asleep. They say reading relaxes you fully and it works wonders for me.
I used to suffer from insomnia, but not since I've been doing this - about 5 years now.
Plus, I've grown so much and have gained wisdom by doing so. I enjoy Christian books and reading the Bible.
My doc says it's early hearing loss. sm
I went in 2 weeks ago for my check up and complained about the ringing in my right ear. He said it's early hearing loss and if it bothers me to see the ENT and get a hearing test done. LOL-like I have time for that right now.
Central PA ~ It's been snowing since early a.m.
Could get up to a foot at least from what I heard. So don't like hearing that!
I am talking very early 60s and only available for married
then, was told that by a physician who said could not prescribe UNLESS married, in fact the year was 1962. I have no idea when Planned Parenthood started but as a young girl had no knowledge about that. Things have changed for females so much over the years.
Have guy cousins in early 20s and my nephew
is 17. They shop a lot at Macy's. We're in the NY area. Apparently certain brand names are "in" like Ecko, Sean John, Polo, etc. but can be very expensive. As far as hairstyles, maybe check out the hairdos on some of the clothing/store websites. Here's one from Macy's. If I lived near you; I'd help with the makeover :) Sounds like fun. lol

my Pop died early 2005-have never gotten over it
I love Early Edition...sm
Kyle Chander is such a cutie pie. Also like M*A*S*H and ER (pre-Dr. Green dying) and Gilmore Girls.
both - early riser and stay up until 1-2 a.m. nm
Yeah, only the nuts go that early; I get up about 8 and go then - sm
my neighbor is going at 4, I told her she was nuts. I don't go to get anything specific though, I just go for fun. I am pretty much done shopping already for the kids, just need stocking stuffers and a few gift cards and I will be totally done. Most of the early bird sales last until noon or 1 p.m. so why kill yourself.
Why does everyone get up so early to cook a turkey? - sm
the only think I can figure is you must eat it at noon. We would get up around 8, make the stuffing, prepare the bird, stuff it and put it in the oven between 10-11. This would be an 18-21 pound turkey, cook it 20 mins per pound, so we would pull it out about 5, then make the homemade gravy (took a good 30 mins to do that), prepare the mashed potatoes, and eat about 6. In between we have a relaxing day of playing board games, watching football or James Bond movies. All I ever see is, mom got in the middle of the night and put the turkey in the oven before we were even awake......either that was one heck of a big bird or they ate turkey for breakfast or lunch. (or else it came out dry as a rock).
Yep - I think it is consistency and starting early! (sm)
I am not 100% opposed to spanking them if they were to just refuse to listen to me, but it doesn't come to that. It did a few times when they were very young and I taught them off the bat that they were not going to win. I'm the mom!
I am taking mine early
I turn 62 in January, and I am taking early benefits. I feel I have been working since I started babysitting at the ripe old age of 11, and haven't stopped since. Got my first "real" job at 16, and other than going to college, I have been working most of my life. I don't know what will happen with Social Security over the next 10 years or so, but I want to take what I have now and enjoy it. It is a good little sum of money and will help so much to pay bills, or put something away in the bank. My husband is semi-retired and his health is not that good, and he took his out several years ago when he turned 62 also, and doesn't regret it. It has helped us survive.
Darn, early in the morning, should have been
part of her hair, not head.
I start early in the morning also
I get up and start at 4 a.m., take a break from 6:30-7:30 to get the kids up, ready and off to school, then come back home and work until it's time to go get them at 3:00. Of course, there are those days where I have to do laundry and clean house on some days!
PA too and our kids were actually sent home early
due to the heat! We were never sent home for that one. Spent the day at the pool with the kids and now it's time to work.
I like to get my Christmas shopping done early.
So, I am happy to see it out early.
How terrible that you would feel that way -- Halloween wasn't out yet (which is not an ongoing gift-giving, love-based holiday) and you are irritated over that while Christmas was.
Shaking my head over that.
It should be coming your way. I like the snow too, but just a little too early for me.
The roads are getting covered now. I guess I better get the shovels out. It is like a blizzard with the wind, but I am cozy too.
Early X-mas shopping at walmart.com..sm
Does anyone know if the specials that Walmart offers on black Friday in the stores are also available online? I am working Friday and I do not want to go to Walmart at 5 am just for 3 or 4 items, but on at least one item I would save 30 bucks. I do not want to over extend myself by getting up and going to Walmart and then coming back home trying to get in the work mode. I am usually so frustrated by the crowds and disrespectful people that I am irritatated when I return home.
In the early 70s, maybe 1972?, my entire
family got what was believed to be the swine flu. I was young and barely remember it, but my parents said they've never in their lives been that sick. I don't want it...
