Your last sentence sorta breaks my heart

I have grandchildren but they are so tied in with the maternal side, even though we live only perhaps 15 miles apart, never see or talk with them- I tried being close when they were younger but they were always, always at the other grandmoms home, never mine. I love them and wish them well.

This breaks my heart and they have others
Gosh, if I could adopt all these I see- they are so pitiful. Watching the Animal Channel I see all the time. I know they want them adopted but I wonder if they know how much they are tugging at people's heart strings? I do for animals as much as I can and want to send some money their way.
My heart just breaks for you - sm
I would not waste another day on your marriage. Sounds like he is dragging you down with him and making you miserable. Sometimes people drift apart for various reasons, let alone if one of them has an addiction. I can completely understand how your love died for him. If your life is better without him than with him then I think you already know what you need to do. As far as ruining his rehab...it seems he needs to be capable of standing on his own two feet or any wind at all that comes along will knock him down. Be strong! 
It breaks my heart because he was such a fighter -
It does sound like it was the best for him, however. :-(
I went to the site and it breaks my heart
that something has happened to this beautiful child, but it doesn't say what happened.
My heart breaks for you, mtroadie!
My heart truly breaks for you, mtroadie! Marriage is difficult enough without being treated so horribly by your in-laws. It is your husband's responsibility to protect you from his vicious family, even if it means removing them from your life. These horrible people are toxic to you and should not be allowed to treat you in any way that makes you feel so miserable. If your husband refuses to protect you from them, then protect yourself and remove yourself from any interaction with these despicable people. You must take care of yourself in order to be strong enough to take care of anyone else. I will be here for you if you need me.
It breaks my heart to read your stories, and I just..
hope that people will take the initiative and send letters to their representatives encouraging more uniform laws from state to state to make it harder for these sex offenders to stay below the radar.
My 3 letters are in the mailbox now. I just used the format on Oprah.com, printed the addresses off, taped them to the envelope and sent them off. Even doing something small can make a big change, and it makes you feel good. The laws need to be MUCH tougher for these sex offenders.
I also think rape should be considered assault with a weapon, because they are using a part of their bodies as a weapon to injure another, and maybe if they charged them with that they would serve longer sentences. Just an idea.
Time for a long, uninterrupted heart to heart. Sorry to hear

You sorta told her what she really needs to know, that being
you said MTs getting out of the business by the hundreds. If I read this, then I would think,hmmmmm wonder why? There must be a reason for this, after all I can work and still stay home, must be a dream job. To say she can do MTing and be home with her family, sorta of an oxymoron now days, don't you think? I think she would do good to read over a lot of the posts and see exactly how the people are feeling today about their work, lack of, pay and again lack of and then find out if she wants to chance this. Lots of MTs not only on the fence about their jobs but lots questioning what other jobs they could get into. So much unrest in this business now. I would never tell a person to start here. Posts all the time about not thinking it is going to be around with outsourcing, VR and the like. Being a stay at home mother is 1 thing but trying to provide and stay home, this is a chancy risk at this time.
If 1 time but sorta ongoing
I have noticed when around my hubby or her son, she tends to say little cutting remarks, about me, not just when she and I are 1 on 1. There are others who do things for her, like her birthday recently and I hear not 1 thing about how others overdo it and I have heard this, like I said, time and time again. I know she is elderly but I do not think being old excuses you at all unless you are completely senile, demented and the like. If you still have your faculities around you (and she does) she was not brought up to look a gift horse in the mouth so to speak. I did not expect the money for the hair solution I gave her- but if she did not want and could not use- she could have thrown away- I would have never known the difference. By the way, she really has taken the place of my mother who is deceased. We have been very close and will continue to be but my feelings count just as much as anyone else.
That cracked me up! Sorta sounds like - sm
TV commercial where the family powers their entire house by static electricity. The kids all walk around with wool sox on, rubbing their feet on the floor. Later they're sitting in front of the TV, and all of their hair is sticking straight up from static electricity. At the end, the lights go out and they're saying good night, and then there is a kiss and an "ouch"! I sure hope that commercial won an award, 'cause just thinking about it makes me laugh.
Think you are sorta wrong about your post
the first time we even saw SP was when she was brought out by McCain and introduced. We did not know beforehand. Right from the start everyone got to know her reallyyyyyy well, especially with the introduction of the speech she gave at the RNC gathering. Loved her interviews, really bright lady!
homemade heath bar- sorta
Not a dinner idea- but a cheap way to make a bag-full of toffee:
1 cup butter, 3/4 cup brown sugar, 12 oz. bag chocolate chips, 3/4-1 cup chopped nuts (i use salted peanuts chopped up) saltine crackers:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Fill pan side-by-side with crackers. Heat butter and brown sugar. Boil for 3 minutes. Pour on top of crackers. Put pan in oven for 5 minutes. Remove from oven, sprinkle the chocolate chips on top to melt- after a couple minutes, easy to spread around with a spatula. Sprinkle the nuts on top- kinda push them into the chocloate so they don't fall off when done. Chill in fridge and break into pieces.
Keeps well in a zip-lock baggie in fridge. Not the real deal, but sure it good and a lot cheaper than candy bars!
Thanks for the other ideas ladies, always looking for a new meal that is fast, easy and yummy!
I sorta laughed at the place where you said your husband
would never cheat, and you keep him happy as well. Lady, please, you do know don’t you a man can be pleased as punch but that does not stop all from having affairs. It happens all the time. My goodness!
Ah, that is sorta taking advantage of a restaurant
in fact might border on theft. I don’t think quirky, would be embarassing to me to have your family heist any and everything they could when going out. Do they go out other times or just on a special occasion? Rather than run the risk of someone in management asking me to pay for their "treats," think I probably might make them a dinner at home, then you could make sure to tie down anything valuable to you.
well, when your car breaks down between(sm)
the house and wherever and your child is freezing in the snow but you're bundled up in your nice, warm coat, we'll see who's the better parent.
She did not have that after the breaks..
my gosh, she has been away from him for what 30, 40 years? She had the same face until just a few years ago. If she had so many broken bones, she waited a longgggggggg time to get the face jacked up!! Sounds ok, just not right in this case.
Neighbors want tax breaks because
they say this purple house is bringing down property values of their own homes.

And you last sentence, it says
sounds like they made a choice, seizures or a child that was medicated past the point of functining and enjoying life- his death certificate listed seizure as the cause of his death- think about that.
Your sentence is a little off
Kennedy did not breed the dog but rather had the dog at his home for awhile getting some training through one of his dog trainer. Kennedy not in the dog breeding program. He owns several of these dogs, in fact I heard 1 first alerted Kennedy's family when Kennedy had a seizure away from the home so very small doggies I would say.
oops - sentence got cut off....nm
.
Your sentence says it all, not overlooked by
all.......
Now the correct sentence for her would
have been 30 years.
What is wrong with our system??
Can you explain the sentence
I've be typing from home for a long time?
Explain my sentence...
I've typed from home since my 12-year-old was 2. Most of the time, he was right next to me. Then along came another. My hubby and I split days. He worked part-time and I worked part-time. We felt it better to not have the income and keep the children at home with us. My kids are 5 years apart. My son started school 1/2 day, so my working at home was great. Now, they are 12 and 7. I work at home full-time now and my hubby works full-time at his job. I am here for them, but they are in school all day. I am strictly an IC, so I adjust for whatever I need. I do not need the benefits, hubby has those. I do watch my children, but I have typed at home for 10 years now, and nothing too dramatic has suffered. Did I put my 7-year-old in preschool? Yes, I did. Did I have to jump up and down a lot? Yes, I did. Do I regret any minute of it? No, I do not. 
How about the sentence I had to write
Actucally it was a paragraph and I still remember it. Guess I was in trouble a lot.
This year in the sixth grade I will practice self-control by being curtious and polite in the halls and on the playgound.
Each infraction was 25 times.
adding to the sentence above
Short ones if a normal YEPP. If just short. Nah.
Love it, especially that last sentence. :) nm
......
A whole sentence is 'yelling'. A word or two is
There IS a difference.
Does this sentence make sense?
I'm trying to write a letter. what i want to say is that more time is needed in the basic classes at school and special classes such as (music, art) should not take priority or cut into the core classes.
This is my sentence
There is lack of adequate class time is the core classes such as math, language arts, and science. Specials are great to have but specials do not dominate academia.
Does that make sense to anyone but me?
Just read a new article on sentence
I didn't get a chance to read it, because I'm on my out, but the headline read they his sentence is now 33 years. My daughter said she heard they upped it. Not sure if it's true or not, but he certainly deserves it.
And the main word in your sentence is
mainly - as pets mainly on leashes- sometimes they are, sometimes they're not. Do your neighbors keep pitbulls also?
Never thought I would say chocolate and UGH in same sentence but
I have fibromyalgia and read in a recent magazine article that eating very dark chocolate with purity of about 70% actually helped fibro because of the medicinal qualities that cocoa beans have including antioxidants and flavonoids. Ok I got a bar that was extremely dark and had 80% purity and double UGH! The article said to eat a small amount each day but what is a small amount? Anyone else know anything about how much? By the way, read also the dark chocolate lowers blood sugar in diabetics.
This sentence in your post is worth to
remember and follow, I quote....
'So, see what you can do to learn to be your own best friend and company.'
Thanks, very wise.
One sentence in her post sounds exactly like -(sm)-
how AHDI could be described:
<< Most of our haters are people who are supposed to be on our side. >>
oops part of my sentence got deleted
meant to say not much you can do....lol
Letting person finish sentence
My hubs has called it to my attention several times that I do this to him. I really love, admire and cherish him and I am glad he has not given up on me like some of the above state. It is not done intentionally but I think sometime he sorta stammers and huh, huh it 1 time too much and then here I rush in. Oh, well I am an Aries and I want things done yesterday!
Important: I disagree with this sentence in your post:
'If you and your brother get anything at all, I think you should be glad because you were only taking the place of your father....'
The grandfather did NOT name the father in the will, he cut him out and named his grand children as heirs.
So, she and her brother are LEGALLY NOT responsible for paying for their father's medical expenses.
Then read my sentence and if you disagree with this, lady, you have some problems...
--if you have female children they could be the next.-- You said you totally disagreed with my post and the above was in my post. I am a realistic person- not narrowed minded.
Ask to listen to a dictation. Any doctor who can't put two words together to make a sentence, I d
:P
I think that is entirely up to you. I wish I had followed my heart on that one - sm.
When I was pregnant with my first baby, I worked in a hospital and my co-workers kept telling me don't tell anybody until you know for sure nothing is going to happen and until you start to show. Then everyone said to not buy anything for the baby until you are past 6 months. For the record, I NEVER did start to show, my baby was born at 27 weeks. I bought my baby bed on Friday, and he was born on Sunday. He lived 3 weeks and 6 days. Since his death, I went on to have three more children, and I told the whole world as soon as I knew, and we celebrated from day one. So....please follow your heart.
More so than heart, seems to be
the ribs. I am gonna tell them they have to get to the bottom. Just pain medicine alone not doing it.
My heart goes out to you
and your daughter. Reading your post brought tears to my eyes, as right now my first cat I ever had is suffering from cancer. She is getting so skinny and I know it won't be long before we have to put her down. It makes me cry every time I look at her. She had surgery, but the cancer is already back, so there's nothing else to do for her. That has to be the worst thing about having pets, having to say goodbye. Just keep the memories in your heart and know that you gave her a wonderful life.
Thank you, and my heart wants
to bring in another, but the timing isn't right with me in school and expenses tight after all the vet bills. Besides, Sasha seems to enjoy being the center of attention. I'm thankful we still have her.
my heart goes out to you.
What it means (IMO) is at the least that he has a short fuse, no control of his tongue and not much opinion of himself. Its probably hard for him to hold you or anyone one else in high esteem because he thinks so little of himself. There's no doubt more at play too, but this behavior doesn't mean he hates you. I've been in this similar environment. Learn to love and respect yourself enough that those kind of comments don't devastate you. It takes time and effort. A person of this kind needs to change from the inside out. How long have you been married? I can't help but wonder if there is anything spiritual that you share with him. You can't change him, so concentrate on what you can change (yourself, your means of coping, how you treat your job, relationship etc). It's hard not to be depressed in these situations. I'm sorry he hasn't learned to appreciate you. Stay safe. There are people who care about you! e/m me if you like.
I am so very sorry, my heart is with you.
Sending all kinds of warm fuzzies to you. So sorry this is happening and you have to go through it. Please do one thing. Look in the phone book when he is around BTW for the local domestic violence hotline. It is an 800 number, it is confidential, and you don't even have to give your name. Tell them these stories. They are open 24/7 just to listen. They will make you feel better. Also, please make sure you are safe. Keep a cell phone with you at all times, and your important papers and the childrens' all in one place in case you need them. Do not let him know any of this at all. Also if you don't have your own bank account open one just for you and the children. Dont let him know. Also, please have a safe place to go. The hotline will describe all these things to you. They also will suggest a local center you can go just to talk someone, as often as you would like to go for free. He does not have to know that either. I am not saying this so that you should be secretive. I am saying so that it will not trigger his anger and the circle of control. Like I said, stay safe, call that hotline ASAP and listen to them and the outpatient counselor. I have been through it. You need people to love you and make you feel worthwhile again and soon you will have the strength to see why this is happening and how to stop it. Please call them and let us know here you are okay.
My heart goes out to you . .
and your husband. Best to get professional care as soon as possible. Get to the PCP and then a thorough workup and mental assessment. This could be any number of things - stress, a medical condition, a mental condition. Just the other day I read something that was fascinating. I read about a woman who was having trouble with her husband who was 60. His behavior was getting odd, and strange. After much workup he was diagnosed as having Asperger's, this coming after a full functioning life. I found this quite interesting. Get help and keep us posted. You are in my prayers.
My heart goes out to you.
They give such unconditional love, even those moody cats darn it! So sorry about Sixer. :(
My heart goes out to you.
It sure sounds like you are doing the best you can do. This economy right now is the pits, and it makes everything so much harder. Have you checked to see if any medical insurance is available through your state? Here in my state, Washington, we have an insurance program that you can qualify for if you meet income guidelines. I would sure check into that. If you don't keep your health, then you will have a much worse situation than you have now.
My heart really goes out to you...
When my 2nd son was in school, he was misdiagnosed with a learning disability and placed in an inappropriate classroom. I know what you are going through there.
Do you live in the South? The reason I ask is because my kids were all born and raised until early teens in New England. They had wonderful schools and understood ADD (which is what my son has). He was not put into a special classroom, he was just taken out occasionally for extra help. Nobody he was in class with knew where he went or what his "diagnosis" was.
Then my husband was transferred to Florida and what a HUGE difference in schools! The people in Florida, just wanted to label my son and put him in exclusive "special ed" classes only! There is nothing wrong with my son other than he has short term memory problems. But this school system created more problems for him than you can imagine! He was devastated and has really never been the same since that horrible experience.
My 3rd son has ADHD and when we moved to Texas a few years later, he had an even WORSE experience. Not only did they label him, but the teachers openly taunted him in class. He got "written up" for typical childish behavior, nothing out of the ordinary, they just stayed on his back constantly. They treated him like he was retarded.
I wish they could see him now - he is ready to graduate in May at the top of his class. He has completed 4 years of the Air Force junior ROTC and has already been accepted into a very difficult school to get into. I would just love to go back and show them how he turned out - in spite of their labels.
I don't think your school district can prohibit you from accompanying your child to school if you want to. I don't think that's legal, but I would check into it.
Good luck to you and if you just need someone to talk to who has been through the same things, feel free to e-mail me.
My heart goes out to you
I cannot imagine surviving through what you just described. Joel was very lucky to have such loving parents who obviously did everything within their power for him.
~Blessed Be~
