My 86-yo dad is the same way.  Sticking his nose into my business.  He also constantly rags on me about my son not mowing the grass, etc.  I have explained to him that I LIKE to mow the grass and to please drop it and he just keeps on and on.  One day he walked in my office and shook his finger at me and said, "You just wait, you just wait, y'all are drinking way too much pop."  This because I buy it when it's on sale and it lasts a very long, long time.  And, by the way, neither my son nor I are overweight.  Older people just can't (anyways he can't) realize I am 53 years old and have lived on my own without his valuable input for a long time.  He just doesn't have anything else to do. 

The thing that really bugs me is when he comes over and just plops down in here when I am working and I tell him he can't be in here when I'm working and he gives me all kinds of excuses ("I can't see read what you're typing") and I have to just keep the screen minimized until he goes.  He just doesn't get it.  The other day I told him to go over and check on my cousin's new fence, and that got his train of thought going in a different direction and off he went.  He called me one day and told me not to commit to the big diocesan pledge thing that's going on, that I am to tell them I am a single parent just barely scraping by, etc., etc., and I wanted to tell him I am not quite that destitute yet, but I just agreed. 

Oh, and I have an extremely screwed-up sister, too, who Dad thinks can do no wrong and her son is the greatest, etc., etc.  Oh, the stories I could tell about her!  Well, it was me who gave him a place to live after Katrina and it was me who gave him my couch for his new house because he didn't have one (another delusional idea, he thinks he is broke), not her, so I just keep quiet and keep civil and remind myself he's old.   When it gets to be too much I tell his sisters, who tell him to back off then he does for a while.  All part of life. 

I always have my TV on in the next room just for noise and every now and then to catch something going on. If it was turned off now I think I would be asleep!

Sorry about that. . .I'm new to this site. I'll take my questions out to the Company Board. I might get some additional advice there.

I posted on scrapbooking one time and didn't get any response.  I love to scrapbook and I am about to finish up one that is a thank you gift for the family that we stayed with last year on vacation in Colorado. 

I am limited in what I can spend on it so I have to depend on a paper cutter, scissors and I love corner punches.  I think I have seen the machine that you are asking about but I really don't know anything about it. 

The question I posted back quite a while ago is concerning scrapbook programs on the computer.  Do you know anything about them?  I think I would like to use one of those programs but I have not found anyone as of yet who is knowledgeable about them. I was trying to research that one day through Google and found this website. You might find the answer to your question on here: twopeasinabucket.com   This is a scrapbooking website and I found it quite interesting although I didn't have a lot of time to spend looking for the answer to my question.  Good luck!

are finding it hard to make their house payment, car payment or credit card payment?

someone made the comment about giving girls a false sense of security and not getting PAPs and physicals because they got the vaccine.  That was something I hadn't thought about previously. 

I was talking about this with a friend of mine and we got on the subject of DES that was given to prevent miscarriages and preterm labor in the 50s and 60s and the side effects that came from it.  I googled DES and the one website has a copy of an old ad that states "recommended for routine prophylaxis in ALL pregnancies" with a picture of a smiling baby above the statement.  We all know how that turned out!

States have made all kinds of vaccines mandatory for admittance to kindergarten, but there are ways around it, such a religious exemption.  I have another friend whose kids have had NONE of their childhood immunizations.  I'm not saying I agree with anything that drastic, but her kids are in school. 

Anyone who has to go on a public board/forum and brag on and boast about ANYTHING- ( about A MAN, no less *L*).....just makes most posters question the credibility of such posters.  Anyone who is truly happy....has no need to type all this on a public forum....nor to hang out on one....

the hubby *put you on a pedestal* so now you can reach the keyboard....*lol* -

Now really, all the nasty, antagonistic posters, and in this particular thread, should get off their mommy's computers and go outside and play because from my view, it's a spectacularly gorgeous day outside

*laughs*

Frankly, I think the moderator of this board does a very good job considering the many posts on a vast variety of topics, and with numerous personalities posting them. If I or my friend on this board would be doing anything that is unacceptable or inappropriate we would have been told. I am quite sure of that.

Why this person continues to make an issue of our conversations about the beauty of animals and the love we share for them and our animals is totally beyond the reach of what I can understand. Frankly, the last post two days after the first insult is an indication to me that it is ongoing. If anyone needs to be told, it is the one who won't leave us or the matter alone. We have done absolutely nothing wrong and have said absolutely nothing inappropriate. I am tired of the issue. It was ridiculous two days ago. No one is forced to participate in this board or made to continue to read what is supposed to be so boring and meaningless. What is meaningless is this constat back and forth over something that is not her business.

I am looking for a dessert recipe that will hold up in traveling.   I am driving to a graduation party two hours away.  I live in New England and right now it is super hot.  I can put it on ice.  I do not know what to bring.  This person is constantly bringing something to our house when she comes.  A plant, a bottle of wine, a candle etc.  The party is being catered (in their backyard) so I am thinking more on the way of  a dessert. Any suggestions?
