Tell me my foot isnt gonna fall off!!
I had what I think is a blood vessel to burst in my foot on the side. My hubs says not a big deal, and maybe it is not but it seems to have spread a little, not over the top of the foot but bigger on the side of the foot. Had anyone had a similar happening? I am one of the older MTers so might just be an aging thing? Thanks.
Summer or fall? Black for the fall. Silver or mushroom gray/beige is good and could
s
tell the govt that, what with the wet-foot-dry-foot
That's my 6-foot, 3-inch hubby and 6-foot, 5-inch son...
Those quotation marks and apostrophes don't show up on this board, do they!
Also, forgot to mention that the Prius is a whopping 90% less emissions than a regular combustion engine. That's a plus. The electric engine supplements the gas and so the car never loses ground going up hills, great pick up. And don't worry about the rumor that says the batteries eventually die and need pricey replacement. That's not true. There are several individual cells that are not at all expensive to replace and should last many, many miles. There are lots of older Prius on the road now that are going strong after 200,000 miles on the road with not even one cell replacement, much less the entire battery system. They are THE standard for hybrid design right now.
You can find out more about them at the dealer or by googling. The tech-geeks really like the car and put out lots of detailed information on the internet about the Prius.
Yay Fall!!!
I'm cooking up a pot of chicken and dumplins tonight and a homemade peach cobbler...I heart fall!
How do you fall in love (I think thats it?)

In the fall, it is all seniors nm

Feels like fall
There's a nip in the air today and a cool breeze with a hint of the smell of apples. I have a tart warmer burning that smells like pumpkin pie all through the house, yum. I love this time of year in the Northeast. Can't wait for the leaves to start changing color. 
Come to NC mountains in the fall.
What a great place to be in the fall if you enjoy being outside, hiking. There are resorts where you can play golf, if that's your thing. Or come to the coast in September or October. The water is still warm and often there are still warm days, but not hot (well, except this year, when it's stayed hot until now).
Don't cushion her fall sm
You did not cut "her" off per se, you stopped enabling her to take advantage of you. You are not a bank, a restaurant or a hotel. She will never learn and will get into deeper trouble later on. You should still love her but not the behavior. I have had to do this with siblings and at first was sick over it, but have stopped enabling. I'm a little lonelier but not being "used" anymore. They will keep asking until the well runs dry and the first time you say "no," you're the witch, so most of us have walked your walk. It does hurt but, "I love you, but 'no' is my answer." Take care of yourself.
Did my fall yard work!
I took out three evergreen bushes that for some reason developed fungus. I replaced two with the round Little Giant arbivortae bushes - so cute. I couldn't do three because the third would have died from too much shade. I did put a Japanese iris in that spot. I put in a cute ornamental pepper plant. It has tiny peppers on it that are purple, red, orange, and yellow, so it's pretty funny. I surrounded it with purple pansies and orange pansies. I had to remove some sod to make room for these in my central bed. (Stupid Bermuda grass). I tidied up some other bushes, but was afraid to prune the azalea because I think it might be the wrong time. Besides, it is guarded by a huge yellow and black spider. I allow her to live because she never moves since DH explained to her that she can't live by the light at the front door. She is HUGE.
I'm very tired now and I think I have a sore throat, but hopefully the yard will look good when the kids and parents come trick or treating.
Anybody else do some good yard work? I suppose leaves are already falling up North.
The Apple Does Not Fall Far From the Tree
I agree with you, Unhappy Camper -
There is little accountability in today's youth as a whole. The kids that are responsible, that know the consequences and live accordingly are the minority. Teens in the military are taught accountability and responsibility if they don't already have those attributes courtesy of their parents.
Interesting article I read in my hometown paper about an underage drinking party where over 25 kids were arrested for illegal possession of alcohol. One of the cops interviewed said out of the 25 parents that had to come and pick up their children, only one, ONE, told their child they got exactly what they deserved and that consequences would result. The others were mortified that their kids were being held, humiliated, and treated like criminals, then berated the cops for having nothing better to do, etc. We wonder why there are problems? The kids want the privileges of being an adult, but not the responsibility, thanks to mom and dad. One cop summed it up precisely. He said when he was a teen, he and his friends did not fear getting caught by the police, they were more afraid of getting caught by their parents.
As a result of such parenting, or lack thereof, it would bother me to see the drinking age lowered. If they don't hold their kids accountable, how can we by allowing the age to be lowered?
Iowa feels like fall too!
I just am not really thrilled for the thing that follows fall. I hate hate hate hate hate hate winter.
We were in the 40s temperature wise this morning. I have my portable heater toasting my toes when I work!
I fall out of bed, grab some coffee and
head to my office in my PJs at 6 a.m. On my break, I change into sweats or street clothes, depending on whether or not I have to leave the house.
That is such a beautiful fall picture!
You can almost smell the leaves and the fall air! That is one happy doggie!
or - "The fall alone will probably kill ya!"
Is this Boliva??
you know, asthma does fall under the ADA and if that is the case.... sm
then she might have to work with me and give me another apartment. I will have to check into it. I am in Pennsylvania and I will check it out. It would be a lot less expensive to move to another apartment than to do a whole big move. thanks very much!!
if you go to Pismo...go in the spring or fall...
Summer is very very foggy most of the time (I went to college in San Luis Obispo about 15 miles away). Also, if you do go, you MUST go to Del's pizza in Shell Beach for dinner one night. Fairly inexpensive and very good food--not just pizza. In my opinion, it is the best restaraunt in the area.
Do those stay on or do they fall off when the kitty scratches?
Also, where do you get those?
HA! Same spider that made me fall down in public (sm)
One of my most embarassing moments!! I was in a busy public area with a park in the middle. I decided to cut through the park and walked right through a web of one of those and the spider was on my face!!! I fell onto the ground, freaking out, flailing like a madwoman. When I finally got up and realized what I had just done, I couldn't wait to get the heck out of there, but I kept shaking my clothes and brushing my hair, just in case!!
POLL:What show are you looking forward to this fall?
I just Netflixed the first season of Friday Night Lights and I am HOOKED! What a wonderful show. I can't wait for that to start.
Also, looking forward to Gray's Anatomy, but hoping for a much lighter season this fall. Last year was such a drag after the first two.
yep - Spring ahead, Fall back.....
First significant snow fall here today
We've had enough to make it slick on the roads, lots of ice and cold but this is the first time it is really snowing and actually accumulating and because it is going to be cold for a couple of days it may stay on the ground. It is pretty, but I hate winter. On the up side, I don't have to go out in it!!
I put mine in the crock pot and they just fall off the bone
Although that wouldn't be an option for you now since it takes all day.
We're having a big fall/Halloween party on Sunday. sm
 I need some great ideas to ask guests to bring - Husband and I are providing the main meal but I'm asking some friends and relatives to bring "side" items. The main dish will be chili dogs. I asked friend to bring a few bags of chips. Anything else interesting a few people can bring to accompany? Not everyone is bringing something. We do this every year, have hay rides, and it lasts all day. We play games and give out prizes. It's a blast. A lot of people from our church will be coming. I'm really not the only one hosting it, but the other hosts need to know what to bring...I can't think of anything interesting besides drinks and chips!
I'm making my famous marshmallow witches again this year and another gal is bringing baby cany apples by scooping out a portion of an apple with a melon thingie and dipping those in caramel. I've never heard of them before but she said they were so cute! What do you creative women think??I need to let my other hostesses know today some time. thanks!!
I love fall - beef stew & cherry pie nm

I am so tired of hearing how people fall for scams
You do not have to be old to be taken in so let's shelf that right now. I just saw on a judge show where a lady gave a guy 1500.00 out of her acct, leaving her with $81. This person thought she would get repaid and then make some. I read about people answering ads saying send in XXX and make $5,000.00 a day, week, whatever fits in here. I see where people stopped outside a store, a person has found a bundle of money and they want you to go to the bank and get the same amount, then all that to be put in the bundle and you get half of that? Can we say flim-flam? I cannot believe all the gulliable, seems like you have never been outside your home, absolutely idiotic people in my life. Why am I getting so angry listening to all this. I really am just BURNT up.
I confess....
that I let myself get disappointed because a guy I liked didn't call. :( Stupi*d boy.
I confess...............
that I still dont like my job :)
I confess
There is mildew growing in my shower.
I am so ashamed.
I confess....
that I really do not like my mother, due to too many years of abuse and playing favorites with my older sister. I have not forgiven her yet...nearly 60.
I confess I was in
yesterday and felt oddly over dressed to be shopping at Walmart at lunch.
I confess...
That my sole entertainment is the fighting on the company board. Think I need to get out more......
I confess x4
I confess I'm on this board right now because I'm at work when I should be on vacation (read burnout)...I really need to take some time off but used up all my PTO time to cover for lost wages from power outtages in this hellhole of a state.
I confess I don't wanna be on call anymore but I keep doing it for the extra dollars, but it doesn't seem worth it to not be able to ever leave home.
I confess I'm a workaholic and it's kinda pissin' me off right now.
I confess I really like popping zits/ingrown hairs...you should see the ones my pig gets! Friggin' awesome amounts of pus. Gross, but you asked for a confession...or two.
I confess
I sunbathe regularly without any SPF screening lotion at all and I don't care what they say about it being harmful.
I confess
That I have read all these confessions and relate to every last one of them.
I confess x3
I blow off work just to enjoy time by myself while my husband is at work.
I want to punch him in the face nearly everyday for lying to me about wanting kids when he really doesn't and letting me believe different for over 2 years.
I can relate to almost every post here.
I confess
I sunbathe nude in my backyard
I confess
That even though I only work 3 or 4 hours a day, I don't even want to do that. I wish I didn't have to work at all.
I confess.
Truly the worst of all here because this one is serious. In order to have control over some of my own money and pay secret credit cards, I work an extra account that my husband doesn't know about.
I confess
Well, I used to sunbathe in the nude until I had kids, now can't. I do sunbathe with no SPF, though. Hopefully will never have skin cancer-just want to be tanned. Have gained about 30 pounds since I started this job 3 years ago and my b*tt has gotten way bigger so I can at least be tanned, right?
I confess . . .
When walking, I don't always pick up after my dog if there is no one to see me.
I never wear sunscreen, and I go to the beach in the afternoon when I should be working.
I confess...
that I was a not so great mom to my 2 girls, who are 25 and 30 now, when they were younger...I wish I could make it up to them.
I confess
oh boy can I be critical of others.
but a fun confession is I absolutely LOVE to listen to Christmas music all year ;-)
I confess
I do live close enough to the beach to go there anytime and have not gone in 10 years. That is just sad.
I confess...
I am addicted to Nicorette gum and I haven't even TRIED in the slightest to get off it. I admit to the mentality of, "I can have at least ONE vice..."
I have a short fuse even though it's longer than it was when I was young.
I spend too much time/energy on work and not enough with offspring.
I BLAME.
I confess
Sometimes I just HATE my husband. In the quiet of the evening when we are having dinner, I look at him with loathe - ugh! Just thinking about his infidelities, I picture him have some unfortunate accident. Isn't that awful? But oh, does it release some anger.
I confess...
For 13 years (most of my kids' lives) I have let my disabled husband's needs come first - over the kids' and my own. The kids had the basics taken care of, of course, we all just understood that DH came first. Now, more and more often lately, I hate DH for it. I always hate myself for it.
I confess
I have a mild case of OCD, so I have problems finishing what I started. I think I would prefer to sleep the days away.
I confess...again
 That I keep looking back here to this thread in particular to see if there's anyone freakier than me!
I confess
after a long day I love to have a glass of wine . . . or 3. :)
