The writing is on the wall, so to speak
You make a difference in the g'parents- your children are picking up on this. I had a similar thing going on with my son- my mother did all the loving, fun things he wanted- my father (they were divorced, each remarried) was strict, no fun to be around, hardworking but I believed in their being able to share and I did. Both are deceased now and I do not regret having him spend as much time with 1 as the other. Oh, BTW, one of my most enjoyable things as a child was when I spent time with my father and his wife- they had a small garden and I absolutely loved to dig up the potatoes- used to beg to get to do it. You should have a good talk with everyone and insist spending time with all- don’t let your feelings play into their hesitancy on going. Grandparents are not always right but she wants to have some time with them. Not all g'parents want to be bothered with kids, believe it or not.
Yes, they will pay for new wall to wall carpeting. sm
It is surprising what they will and will not cover! I spilled bleach on my rug, a quarter-size spot, and got new rugs from my HO insurance.
Wall-e
I love Pixar and Disney and I found it painful to watch. Also my hubby and 8 and 11 year old. Absolute boredom!!
I own a pit bull...sm
He lives inside with us and sleeps in my bed with me when my husband is out of town working. He is nothing more than a big baby. I believe you that your dog is amazingly sweet. Just because he has a certain breed in him does not guarantee he will be a mean, dangerous dog. I think it is WRONG to euthanize a dog because of its breed. It makes me very angry. I do agree with restrictions such as having a fenced in yard and not allowing them to roam loose. These dogs are very protective of their owners and WILL hurt someone if they are a stranger and they feel their owner is threatened. That is where dog owner responsibility comes in. My dog has never and will never be allowed to roam free. He stays in the house and I have a fenced in back yard he cannot get out of. I have signs posted on the fence in the backyard as a warning. He is not a mean dog but if a stranger he does not know approaches him or the back yard or comes to the door he will get aggressive. If someone my dog is not famiiiar with comes over I put him in the backyard. But as long as it is someone he knows and has met and he knows I am okay with them being here he is fine. He will lick them and wag his tail. He is just very protective of me. If anyone ever tried to hit me or attack me he would attack them. I had a friend jokingly look at CJ (my pit) and she said I am gonna hit your mama CJ and she reared back and hit at me. He did lunge at her. But I hollered and grabbed his collar and when I hollared he instantly sit. But I told her don't ever do that again. Beleive me she won't. CJ would never intentionally hurt someone unless he felt I or he was threatened. He is the biggest baby ever. If he knows someone he will lick them and love on them. To euthanize all pit bulls is stupidity. Unless you own one you don't know what misunderstood dogs they are. It is all in the owner and how responsible they are. If you don't own one you can't know how loving they can be. I can say without a doubt my pit would die to protect me if he had to. And the only time he will get aggressive is when a stranger approaches our house or the back fenced in yard. RESPONSIBLE ownership is the key. I don't even take CJ out for walks because I do not want to take a risk of him getting loose from me and feeling threatened by somone and hurting them. He will not have an opportunity to bite anyone because if a person he doesn't know comes over we put him out in the backyard in the fenced in area. If a stranger comes in the back yard when there are signs posted then they will just get bit possibly because they were warned. They can come to my front door anytime. But not the back. I think I am responsible and if my dog was aggressive to us or my friends or family who came over I wouldn't have him but he is not that way. It is only strangers.
anything but a pit bull

we tore down the wall, sm
we had a double wide though and wanted to fix it up to sell. we tore down the wall joing the kitchen to the living room and made a bar just like you are talking about. opened it up so much and looked beautiful, actually what sold the house. didn't make a difference at all in load bearing, but not sure it would be the same in a single wide. also, may need electrical help (my brother did this for us as he is an electrician), cuz wires were hanging all through those walls. so be careful of hot wires if you decide to attempt it.
I would love to be a fly on the wall if you and Sis ever did
nm
drag it out from the wall
I would pull it out of from the wall, put poison chunks in the hole, seal the hole, scrub down the stove with gloves and a mask and baking soda, go to a different appliance store and ask for new insulation, turn on the oven at about 500 for two hours to kill everything else and make my pizza.
Pit bull or not he is a loving dog ...sm
who has never attacked and I honestly with all my heart know he would never hurt me. I believe in all honesty he would die to protect me to make sure I wasn't harmed if that is what it took. I know some pits have attacked owners and I believe these were either unstable dogs or abused or provoked. My dog has a respect for me also. He knows I am the boss and when I take a firm tone and let him know I am not happy with him he just bows his head and lays down. I didn't set out to own a pit bull he kind of fell into my lap you could say and I fell in love with him and he with me. I rocked him as a baby and nurtured him and he loves me with everything in him and I love him the same. My ownership of him just happened unexpectedly and I am so grateful it did. When I am sad he licks my tears and is so loving. I know other breeds are capable of this but CJ just happens to be a pitbull. I dont care. His breed is not important. It is the love in his heart. What is inside him. I don't judge a dog for what they are but who they are.
So true. I have a pit bull and I don't think...sm
you could pay a stranger to come in. If he doesn't know someone he is showing his a$$. A big baby but no strangers coming in his house. It is nice and comforting because my husband is a truck driver and is gone a lot. This dog sleeps with me and just makes me feel like my big protector.
BTW, no, this dog is not allowed to roam free. I am a responsible owner and he has a back yard that is fenced in and he is never allowed out of that yard. And as long as he knows you then it is all good.
I would be much more scared of the pit bull
than someone trying to break into my house. I do animal rescues and 1 place I rescue from (animal shelter) will not let this breed be adopted by Jane or John Doe- they are just considered vicious. They are put down rather than adopted out.
What about Petey the pit bull on the ....sm
Little Rascals? Do you think if he was a mean vicious pit bull they would have allowed him to be around children everyday. Think about it. BTW, he never hurt not one person while doing this show.
wall mounted scratchers
Here are a couple of links, hope this helps, not exactly a 2 sided doorway attachment, but they might work. Also go to petsmart website and they have a little 2 sided plastic comb that attaches to your door frame for like 5 bucks. Good luck, all for the animals.

I have a sheltie that ate the wall, among other things sm
Ate the carpet, bath mats, loved to steal clothes out of the dryer while unloading, and dryer sheets (very toxic for dogs). We decided she had separation anxiety. Tried the whole ticking clock thing, radio on, and crate etc. We had a sturdy nylon crate (the $70 kind, not the flimsy $20 kind) and she ate through it. I finally had to end up working with her in my office, which is upstairs, and slowly gradually moved her across the room, into the hallway, and finally downstairs. It was a long process. Took a training class and of course they say "a bored dog is a bad dog." Had bunches of toys of different types, textures, strengths, bones, etc. Nothing worked until we did the progressive separation technique.
Drunk. ......
I don't drink, but today may be the day I start because this job is going to kill me.
To pit bull owners and defenders:
Two weeks ago in my city, an elderly demented man was found dead at home by his daughter's boyfriend when he returned home from work. Autopsy confirmed that his death was caused by his daughter's and her boyfriend's 3 pit bulls. I'm sure this lady loved her dear father and believed the dogs were companions to him as he was home alone during the day.
I just can't understand the loyalty to this breed. Why take chances when the outcome can be deadly? This woman will be blaming herself for the rest of her life.
All dogs bite, but pit bulls don't stop until they have killed.
Those pit bull attacks are ashame...sm
I don't know why these dogs attacked. I don't know if these dogs were provoked or what. It is hard for me to imagine a dog just attacking for no reason. I can't imagine my dog ever doing that. I know other people who have pits as pets and they have never had a problem with attacks. I think every good owner should know their dog inside and out and know their little quirks. Now I could see a pit bull attacking an owner who was sometimes mean to them or mistreated them in some way. I could see them getting enough and attacking. A lot of times I think that is really behind attacks and we don't know that. Still a dog never should kill a human. When you own a pit you have to have the utmost respect for the fact they could kill an animal or human if they wanted. They are physically capable but most are not emotionally capable.
My dad had a couple different pits and I have learned my great grandfather had pits for many years. He would only have one at a time. He took his pit hunting hogs and the pit would hold the hog and my great grandfather would put a rag over the dogs nostrils to cause him to have to let go of the hog and he would do whatever it was he then did with the hog. I didn't ask details. But what I am saying here is this was an man who was in close interaction with a pit and was right there when they attacked hogs and he intervened and had to pull them away from the hog by cutting off breathing from the dog so he would let go. He was never attacked or bitten. My dad said that was never an issue. The dogs knew he was the master and they never got out of line. If these were as unstable as some are made out to be and some may be but if they were really that unstable they could have attacked and killed this man. But he never had to worry about this. All of his pits loved and respected him as their owner. Now one deciding factor could be he never mistreated his dog. Never ever. He always treated them good. I think this may be why his dogs never showed him anything but kindness. Again there are some dogs (pits and others) who are unstable. They are just flat out mean and would do anything. But not all dogs are like this. My husband often says when people say aren't you worried CJ could hurt you one day. He says no I KNOW in my heart with everything in me this dog would die before he would hurt one of us. This pit is the most loving affectionate dog I have had the joy to own. Don't ask me how I know.. You would have to know CJ.
Maybe you're feeding him too much bull!

The one where the guy's girlfriend is in his best
Too funny. Always cracks me up. Secret Luuuuverrrr.... (kam)
You go girlfriend!! nm
nm
She was either drunk or lost a bet - sm
what a total freak, what woman would shave her head unless she absolutely had too (like a bad attack of lice, which I highly doubt was her problem). It will take quite a few years to grow back long again, oh well, guess that is her problem (s).
I'm drunk enough now to tell you that you may have my dress,
but you will never have my hat!!!!!
So he's out drunk and with a gun. S/l a recipe for
disaster to me.
Don't you get drunk quicker while in the air?
I thought that's why airplane bottles are so popular, though now with the fluid restriction, you have to buy their 5 dollar cocktails. I am sure he'd get over-toxic up in the thin air.
But, then again, rather have our friend here spend her money on getting a nice apartment or house and setting up than wasting the money on his airfare. Just get him drunk and wheel him to the local drunk-tank.
Sorry, just had to say it. But we are all with you here, and I say if you were rich, the plane idea ain't that bad! :)
sorry, "dictating." Maybe I am drunk! NM
.
type drunk?
No but it wouldn't be the first time someone was dictating drunk. Happens more often than anyone would like to admit.
No he is full blooded pit bull with papers...sm
But everyone thinks he has boxer in him. He has always looked like a boxer because of his color. Everybody thinks he is a boxer or boxer mix.
Dear Owners of Aggressive Pit Bull:
I've already called animal control on you once and reported him for cornering, and then trying to bite me.
Well guess what. I bought mace. Not the wimpy dog-park spray, either. This is law-enforcement grade. It's the real deal.
The next time that sorry, un-neutered son-of-a-biotch comes anywhere near me, he's getting not just a warning squirt, he's getting the entire bottle in his face, maybe enough to close up his throat and kill him. I sure hope it does.
She is DENSE, don't bother any longer. Like talking to a wall...

Or Chandler's ex-girlfriend! GAG! Definitely a new gig

My son and his girlfriend got their Chihuahua sm
that way. Her cousin moved to California and she asked her to keep Chewy and another cousin to keep Lea. Well, Chewy was apparently the more difficult poochie of the two with absolutely no discipline in the past and probably a little abuse as well since he was hand shy, but now is just the most lovable little stinker around. Let me tell you, he could show his teeth and growl and was not afraid of anything. I had no doubt at all he could and would bite. All he needed was just a little discipline and now he is great. Well, the cousin called Saturday and she said she was pregnant and could only take one dog back and she really didn't want Chewy so now he is a member of my son's house. He's quite comfortable here with my dogs too and his post is in front of the full view door where he can stretch in the sun and look outside. Begs like the big boys too! 
Nip Tuck - CT's girlfriend
Feel free to email me. I'm a huge fan. Love, love, love the show and especially Julian McMahon. Pretty graphic but great stories. I'm sure you'll love the first two seasons. I just started watching last year, but I've been watching a lot of the first two seasons on You Tube and a few other sites.
Our local target had the first three seasons for $14.99 so I got myself an early Christmas present.
Your father might have a girlfriend but
he is a lonely man and probably missing your mother and his family. Annoyed? That would all have to do with how much I loved my father, I guess.
Your dad having a girlfriend means nothing really
Your dad is in love with your mom. I don't know who initiated the divorce, but it seems very obvious your dad is still in love with your mom. Having a girlfriend is just to keep him from feeling so alone, but she obviously doesn't fill that void he has, which is his family and wanting that life he had. YOU are his family, you and your mom were the life he had; divorce doesn't make those feelings go away. I'm sure he does come by to see what your mom is doing or if she is at home but no doubt he just misses that closeness with you as well.
He wants to still know he has a family..... his girlfriend certainly isn't filling that void.
You never ever put anything in writing
that you would not want others to see. Now with the children being totally out of control, the school is probably being proactive in the discipline of this child- she surely is not being taught much from her home. I think the school probably is doing the right thing, maybe the child will not be so apt to post bad remarks about the next person.
Get everything in writing. sm
Any challenge of the validity of the debt must be in writing. Send it certified. Did you receive anything in writing from them? By law they must send something in writing 5 days after the first phone call. If they do happen to sue, show up in court or they will get a default judgment. You can, however, ask for validation even in court. Go to that website I gave you. You will find tons of information about your rights in dealing with collection agencies. http://www.debtconsolidationcare.com/
Writing
I used to write all the time; my main focus was on poems/lyrics...I miss writing so much, I haven't done it in a few years because I have MS and I guess I have sort of given up yet the words are still inside; just a bit more difficult to get them out. I miss it so much - any tips you could offer me...I still have my MT gig but that gets a little hard too but i am still trying...
EVERYTHING in writing.
Start a journal & in it document every sniffle, every cough, every trip to the doctor or the pharmacy, every sleepless night, every lost hour of work, time & date & duration of mold smell. Requests to fix the problem have to be in writing. Mail them certified & get receipts. Conversations with the landlord: After they happen, write down word for word what was said, time, date.
If you have to resort to legal action to break the lease, you MUST have everything in writing. I suggest you get a book on tenant rights from Nolo Press or visit a lawyer NOW so that s/he can help you plan this out.
That's funny - Can you imagine some drunk guy sm
trying to walk in those . Sounds like one of us will be getting a report soon of a guy in the ER who busted his ankle while walking "Topless."
No, but I think some of the folks dicating are drunk. NM

I forgot Penn and Teller's Bull**** on Showtime
I agree with most every darned thing they say.
Ex's new girlfriend calling my home
My ex-husband has a new girlfriend. She was introduced to my kids a few months ago, and they have only met her twice.
Yesterday was my son's birthday, and she called my home to wish him a happy birthday. This is, by the way, the 4th girlfriend he has introduced to the kids in the last 2 years. She doesn't even live in the same state as my ex.
Also, not one single member of ex's family acknowledged my son's birthday in any way, and my ex was only concerned about my son talking with his new girlfriend.
Am I wrong to be upset about this? I don't really care if he introduces people to the kids on his own time with them, but I feel like his girlfriends should not be calling MY home. I also feel like he should be encouraging people that my son actually knows and loves (like my ex's parents) to call him on his birthday.
Am I wrong to be upset about this or should I just keep my mouth shut about it? I feel like my personal space has been entered, and I really want to call her and tell her not to call my home.
What do you think?
Why doesn't he break up with his girlfriend?
??
I wonder that as well. Recently gave my son's ex-girlfriend
a very expensive baby gift for her new little one (b/4 she was even born). I mean it cost several hundred dollars. Never heard a word, not even a phone call. Then she sent me an invite to her wedding soon after...i respectfully declined. Guess she had a stamp for that, but not for a thank you note.
My girlfriend went to school here in Atlanta
with Gladys Knight at Archer High.
This reminds me of a girlfriend of mine
who had some young age, gained some weight and really dressed always like her granny. One day picking the kids up from school someone remarked about why cute grandchildren she had! People without thinking can say some pretty stinging remarks sometimes, such as asking overweight lady when is she due!! I always when seeing a pretty baby go for the generic so I don't guess wrong and say pretty girl when it's a boy, just say what a cute little baby. The parent usually tells me girl or male or at least gives me a hint so I will know.
girlfriend named Shirley. What's not to like?

"Fat, drunk and stoopid is no way to go through life, son."
tee hee
Her daddy is a loser drunk. See, parents
Poor girl! That family is filled with depression and low IQ. I hope it all works out for her.
Forget a drunk guy... me completely sober LOL
x
Hang in there girlfriend. If you feel the trust
is there, then believe in it. Truely hope it works out for you. I have seen amazing turn-arounds in marriages. It can work.
