Oh, but you didn't correct my spelling of "tooma,"
tooma for tumor, LOL.
And besides, the traditional spelling for the reply is,
"It's nodda tooma."
:oD
I get the spelling
correct for people I care about, enuff said?
I never one a spelling bee but
even in grade school when the teacher would announce spelling with 1 group on 1 side of the room, the other on the other side, I always had my hand raised first because something I loved to do. My kids told me 1 time they were glad I could spell and type, otherwise what in the world would I have done as far as making a living...
Our GPS is a Gamin (I believe that's the spelling)
I couldn't live without it. My husband said it's the best money we ever spent. And as someone said above, if you make a wrong turn it gets you right back on track. I would recommend one to anyone who has problems with directions. It also saves a lot of fighting when you're in the car with a man who won't stop for directions. LOL.
We resorted to spelling b-y-e but now he even knows that.
He also used to be able to tell time. Before my son got his license I had to pick he and his sister up from school every day. Casey knew exactly when to go lay by the door so he didn't miss out on his ride. LOL!
Okay here are the rumours LOL, sorry for the spelling
I did read in one of the soap mags (no longer buy them, just read them while in line at the grocery store) that Sabrina is definitely leaving the show. I also read elsewhere that it is rumored Sabrina and the baby will die in a car accident. Well, of course if Sabrina dies so will the baby. Anyway, I think Heather may get herself in danger with Walter since she is starting to connect him to David and Ji Min. It has shown in flashbacks that David killed Ji Min. Don't know why yet. He has ties with the mob and Walter is getting him to do the dirty work. Do you ever go to Soap City on the net? Here is the website.

They will give you daily recaps as well as a weekly preview. Any other questions just let me know. I take my lunchbreak during Y&R so I can watch. Each days episode is also on the soap channel at 7:00p.m.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
probably----just love my spelling - nm

Campho-phenique (spelling??)
Patent leather (spelling?)
Shiny black would probably be pretty. What color are the flowers? If you like metallic, silver would probably look really pretty, too! Have fun!
i was going to use this if I had another girl. LOVE this name/spelling
as
Kalyn (or variation on spelling)
a little unusual, not quite the norm. Although my daughter is Kalyn and she gets called Kaitlyn a lot.
Carmex (spelling?)......in pharmacy OTC..
So true, spelling and math.
Wanna have a laugh, when at a store if the amount is something like 12.56 give the young clerk a twenty and a nickel and a penny and see the puzzled look you get. Then when they put the amount into the ''computer'' and see you will get 2 quarters back they are like OH! okay. This is our future generation. It is scary.
Spelling police? Pleeeeeze no...
Unless you NEVER make mental errors (its versus it's, your versus you're), please don't correct our mistakes. Rest assured, I always kick myself when I see a typo or grammatical error that I've made without anyone having to point it out. However, this board being named 'gab' implies a casual come-as-you are atmosphere...i.e. no spelling police. We will return the favor. Thanks!!! 
excuse the spelling errors nm

yes, but I did apologize for being the spelling police.
Interesting about the national spelling bee...
7 of the 10 finalists are Indian.. probably American raised, but there were a few parents in the audience in Indian garb. The winner's last name is Shivashankar (sp!). Man, though, all these kids are really sharp! They were allowed to ask questions about the origin of the words, etc.
How many of us MT's are former spelling bee winners? I bet lots. 8th grade county champ here. My final word was ptomaine.
I was the building spelling champ when
I was in 5th grade -- boy were the 6th graders mad. I was also on the 5th grade 3-kid all-star scholastic quiz team (kind of like jeopardy) and we beat the 6th graders that year, too! We didn't get to compete any further than within our own building.
Of course, as for the spelling bee last night, I only watched the last few rounds, but I couldn't spell any of those words. Whew! I was surprised at the questions they were allowed to ask. We were only allowed to ask definition and to use it in a sentence. The one last night asked what the root word was -- I'm not sure that should have been allowed.
Anyway, the winner definitely earned it!
Spelling police is not necessary on the MTStars forums.

well your english/grammar/punctuation/spelling
Who would want your rudeness around their children or good neighbors anyway? Since you seem to be just a judgmental person, perhaps there is some utopia somewhere for the likes of folks like you....hmmmmm? We wouldn't want you in the city nor the country as neighbors of our family, that's for sure, and WE DON'T IMBIBE...so there!
Rudeness and hate is taught in the home - now we know how it was for you.....poor thing....
Did anyone watch the national spelling bee last night...sm
and feel like a dunce like I did? My husband & I felt brilliant when we were able to spell the words they used.... but missed most.
Cat's spelling is of one of the stars in a constellation. Forget

Presidential candidate Huckabee (spelling?) said that
Christmas is taken from "Christ mass" and therefore it is Christmas and he was going to continue to say "Merry CHristmas" - jest of his commentary on the radio the other day when questioned about it.
Tried, failed in math so could not figure, only do spelling!

Lucky, you! I am sorry I got the spelling of this gorgeous breed SM
wrong. I study dog breeds, know every one in the dog shows, etc. and then made that fo-pa. Not intentional, I assure you. They had the Pembroke and Cardigan. You would have loved it.
Yes. You must make a point to see this next year. It is so adorable and a change of pace for those of us who don't watch the football game. They have them on what looks like a football field with lots of toys and they are all running around, and they play a sound track in the bakground that sounds like fans cherring in the crowd!
Sorry for spelling Pinkie's name wrong in my post
 Oh man, sorry about that. Nothing worse than getting a name wrong.
You can get in trouble for being spelling police here but as far as living
where I live, these places can be rural as well as in the city- I don’t want to put up with undesirables. Take that anyway you would like.
Cut the snippy remarks back and forth. Spelling police are not

I used to love spelling bees too. However, I went to a Catholic school and......
they were required, just like learning the catechism. LOL. I have a TON of holy cards from my grade school years. But I'll be darned if I can remember the word I won my last bee with in 8th grade.
I told my son's 6th grade teacher that I was concerned about the fact that they didn't study spelling, or grammar, the old fashioned kind of subject, verb, and object grammer. Those of you who are in your 50's and plus will know EXACTLY what I am talking about. But that is a subject for a whole other discussion.
spelling police beware the swift correction of the administrator! ha! nm

Or just sick of spelling correctly? Meant "ever" and "dating" nm

You are correct...
except for one thing: It was never a war. It was and is an illegal invasion and occupation of a sovereign nation. Since the invasion was illegal (based on lies) Mr. Bush is guilty of war crimes. Hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi's are dead - on Saddaam's worse day he never massacred like this...
And our news media WILL NOT tell you the truth on any day, but the numbers of US soldiers horribly wounded is astounding - all because of the many war profiteers - including mainstream media.
Everything you said is correct
The muslims are demanding foot baths in the airports so they can wash their feet. I think they might have gotten them somewhere, but not 100% sure. They are also the ones that threw the fit last Christmas about the Christmas decorations in an airport and none for whatever holiday they celebrate. AND THE CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS WERE TAKEN DOWN!! Now, I'm sorry, but something stinks here. I know this probably doesn't belong on this board and might be deleted, so I apologize in advance to the moderator, but I am so sick of the symbols of Christianity being shoved into a closet somewhere, especially at Christmas. I do not sent out holiday cards and I do not put up a holiday tree and my kids don't have winter break. I put Christmas in front of all of those words because that is the reason for the seaon, in my house at least!
Okay, stepping off my soapbox, bowing in apology to the moderator, and going about my business. Have a great day!
Oh, and to the OP, sorry you had to take YOUR decorations down, too. I just don't get it sometimes.
You are correct in a way sm
There is definitely something wrong with her, that's why we have to help her, that's all I'm saying. It's been out of her hands for a long time and she has had so many young people follow her that she needs to straighten up and "fly right" as my Mom used to say, so that the younger ones who adored her can learn that there is hope in recovery let's just pray she recovers. Your decision to not do this is totally correct for what you believe in. My take is a little different, I want her to straighten out and become a spokesperson for those who have become addicted and try to show remorse and accountability, which is going to be almost impossible but at least she could try. If she dies from her bad behavior, she will be a "saint" to those who still believe in her rise to stardom. (i.e., Anna Nichol, Marilyn, etc.).and extreme behavior. The young are vulnerable. Those of us who have walked our talk know better. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I'm hoping for a turnaround, that's all. Expect a miracle! Her children would benefit much more from their Mom in recovery becoming a power of example than dying drunk or stoned. Some speak from their own childhood experiences. I'm thinking of her little ones now more than her. I guess I've heard too much in my life (or is that hurt)? IMHO
You are all correct and thanks...
Causing it I believe is my own guilt that I am not doing everything 100%, job 110%, kids 110%, house, etc. And yes, I am forgetting about myself.
I don't want to quit my job at all, I remember that I love it. I just need to balance really my mind and time better so I take the stress off myself.
And you are correct. I did pamper myself already a bit today. Went to a local store having a sale and got a pair of shoes. Maybe go get a manicure tomorrow. I also took a major step and joined Gold's gym where I can finally get out of the house anytime I want and go on the bikes and I signed up for tanning hoping that the sunlight will cheer me. My little boy went and is excited about the Wii and rock climbing wall he can play on there when I am working out. So, doing these things today and tomorrow will make me better for my job, and my family. And for me! At least I hope I am doing the right thing. Of course, I have to type more now that I just spent money on shoes and the gym, but maybe those phermones from working out will kick in as well. Anybody else have suggestions would be dearly appreciated. And thanks for your kindness.:)
correct
I had it so bad I could not sit at all for about four months without being in agony. I enrolled in a yoga class at the YMCA. It took several months, but it finally healed and I know the exercises to do when it flares up.
Correct.
Leave them open when you pay them off so it shows you have available credit.
I know a couple who wanted to buy a house. They paid off all their credit cards and closed the accounts thinking they would have a great credit score. Guess what? Nobody would give them a mortgage because they had NO credit at all. In this situation, you're da**ed if you do and da**ed if you don't.
Correct me if I am wrong
but I believe worms are hermaphrodites so the "males" would be able to get pregnant....
Now the correct sentence for her would
have been 30 years.
What is wrong with our system??
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 wonder if that is a correct diagnosis
Her symptoms sound more like what a couple of people I know experienced with cardiac arrhythmia. I don't know the exact diagnosis, but one of them was treated with ablation and is doing well, and the other had a pacemaker and defibrillator implanted and is doing well. These women were both in their 30s when they started experiencing symptoms.
I was a military wife for a long time - there are some good doctors in the military but they can be few and far between. I hope your friend will ask to be referred to a non-military cardiologist.
You are precious. You are correct. I'm with you 100%, Jan. nm

Being politically correct...
I don't want to cause any problems, commotions, arguments, or what have you - I just want opinions/advice on the following:
We are a small office of 6. Every year, we decorate for Christmas - put up a small tree, hang some ornaments from the ceiling tiles, wrapping paper on the door. This year, the newest member of the team is JV. Though he does not talk about it, push the subject, etc, he has very politely and quietly sent me emails regarding that he doesn't celebrate birthdays, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc. SO, the question is... how do we decorate the office without offending anyone?
politically correct
I have been friends with a family who are JW. They never minded the holiday thing for everyone else, just quietly lived their own beliefs. My friend even brought my boys candy just before Christmas, stating it was not a Christmas present, just a little something. I wouldn't do anything different than you have always done. Don't put him in the gift exchange, but do include him in the food part. For ex., quietly take him some cake, cookies, whaterver, leaving out the mention of the occasion. They are really quite adaptic (is that a word?) to our ways. Forget politically correct. Follow your heart and basic common decency/courtesy. You won't find other religions asking you if they can do something. Knew a radiologist who always wore the Jewish think on his head to work - we learned a lot about the Jewish faith from him. Wasn't offended, thought it was pretty cool at the time.
You are abolutely correct
Sometimes it takes knocking me across the head more than once to wake me up. I am taking your advice. I've changed the channel from all the news garbage to the Food Network Channel - Love the show Drive-ins, diners, and dives - except that it makes me hungry :-) and BBC always has good programming. Better than the garbage on the other channels. Makes me think of that line from the movie ET "I am in complete control" :-) Thanks
Yes! You are correct & 1 day at a time :-) Thank you for the

Both pronunciations are correct.....

you are absolutely correct..
What organized religions see as divine revelation and holy books, most deists see as interpretations made by other humans, rather than as authoritative sources.
Yep - you're correct...sm
on the irs.gov website, it states if you owe taxes, child support that it will hold the balance from the rebate. For instance, we owe 1,500.00 and paid 100.00 with the first installment so with the stimulus, we'll get a whopping 100.00! :( Funny how they leave some things out of this "wonderful news"
you are correct - I never thought of it that way
Sometimes it takes a knock against the side of the head to face reality they have rights too. I just wish they'd be a little more courteous (like wait til after 8 am on the noise and after 8 pm keep the noise down. In Germany they did have a law tht you could not mow your lawn on Sundays or after 6 pm. It worked well for everyone.
Thank you for that. You are absolutely correct. I saw him SM
in an interview and he cried when they asked him what he misses most. He said he missed the ability to play the piano more than anything. Some years back they said that Estelle Getty had the same condition.
