That was a very good post. I wish more people shared your opinion-

Thank you for such a sweet post.
Good luck to you as well.
Just wanted to post a really sweet story

I posted on the 16th about my son attending a candle light vigil for a classmate that had been died while playing the choking game.  Yesterday at school there was a memorial service for him.  My son said the rest of the day was pretty somber and my daughter who did not even know the boy said the same thing. 


After school some of the kids really needed a pick-me-up but also to do something special to remember him.


I did state earlier that he and my son were not close but they did share several close friends.  It seems that everytime Trey went to the drive-thru at McDonalds he always ordered every item with Mc in front of it.  A Mccheesburger, Mcfries, McCoke, etc.  About 10 cars of kids decided to go to McDonalds and order just that way.  Someone in the first car must have told the people inside becuase they were giving back Mcchange. 


One of my son's closet friends organized this and started to break down while ordering, the lady at the intercom said "it's okay honey, we will get through this".  Then the kids pulled over to an empty part of the parking, blasted  Trey's favorite song and just danced.  It brought my daughter to tears. 


She then told me she did sort of know who he was after seeing a picture of him. A couple of weeks ago after school she and a couple of friends were jokingly arguing about who had the coolest cell phone.  Best phone, color, features, etc.  Suddenly Trey walked over to them and pulled out his cell phone which was exactly like my daughter's.  He didn't say a word, just smiled and left. 


It is still a terrible tragedy but somehow the other kids are working through it and hopefully will definitely learn an important lesson.

In response to your post, we absolutely do NOT give

"I don't know how they got my e-mail address unless this site is giving it out."


In response to your post, we absolutely do not give out your email address to anyone. We have said this many times. Anyone can send you an email, but that does NOT mean that they KNOW your email address. The ONLY way they would ever know your email address is if YOU reply to them.  If you don't want email sent to your personal email address, I suggest you set up a hotmail or yahoo email addy and use that for posting purposes. Then, when email is sent to that address you can just trash it.


If anyone has questions about this, please send me an email and I will further clarify.

I'm sorry. I'm glad you shared with

Wish my DIL had shared my g-child
with me like she did with her mother. GD now in college and wonders why I am not in her life so much. Lives close by but I was always bypassed for her other gmother. I guess being paternal gmother just does not count much. I just finally stopped trying to be there.
Thanks to those who shared what they saw & those who are just funny! but I know (sm)
those of you who have had no UFO sitings have just had your memories altered! LOL!!! Except the one with the lady who "exercised" her child in a harness. She was really an alien.
My mother never shared anything

with me and neither did my dad.  We never heard about sex, drugs, alcohol or anything that they might have tried or did during their younger years.  It was like having parents who did no wrong and it was unrealistic and somewhat annoying to me growing up.  My parents were fairly strict parents.  So I basically took the understanding that my parents didn't understand because they never did anything.  So I did it anyway.  I drank alcohol at the age of 15.  Tried cigarettes around that time as well.  Started having sex when I was 15. 


I look at this way.  If my parents had shared these things with me, maybe I still would have done what I did....who knows.....but because they never shared anything with me about their life.....I couldn't go to them with what I was experiencing because they portrayed that they never did anything and if that was true....they wouldn't understand.  Them telling me may not have stopped me but I think it would have made me go to them more instead of doing it all behind their back and hoping and praying it would all turn out okay and I wouldn't get caught.


I have two boys.  The oldest one isn't mine but he stays here a lot.  His mother doesn't want him to know anything about her past and that is fine....whatever.  To each his own.  My stepson has asked me questions about my past and I've answered general questions.  He knows I had premarital sex.  I didn't tell him I was 15 or how many partners I've had, but I just told him that I didn't wait. 


You shouldn't share with your kids every single detail but it doesn't hurt for them to know that you were once their age and you screwed up as well and so you know what you are talking about and that you understand. 


The bottom line is this....whether you tell your children or not.....our children ultimately make these choices about sex, drugs, and alcohol.  We can guide them and teach them right from wrong, but they still ultimately decide for themselves. 

I think your perspective on things is shared

POLITICAL CONTENT REMOVED BY ADMINISTRATOR (Please post political content on the Politics board.)


Yes, the news IS unreal. They throw us headlines night after night but never tell us later how it all turned out. So it seems less and less real, the less truth we get, and the more Britney, etc. we are forced to hear about. You're right - it's hard to just go about life as if everything were normal, when lately the world seems like it's anything but. Sometimes just watching the news every day can be too much. After 9/11 I got 'addicted' to the news, couldn't turn it off, but after a while I just couldn't stand watching those buildings fall over and over, night after night, and I was getting depressed. So I decided to temporarily quit the TV news 'cold turkey' for 2 weeks. Sometimes that can be amazingly refreshing!

I'm glad you shared. I'm tearing up too. You sound like a

Small print receipes? sm
I just recieved an e-mail from dccase complaining about the small print on a receipe from a Bobby Flay show for enchiladas.  If dccase reads this, I think maybe you sent the e-mail to the wrong address.

How to get print to stay bigger
When I am in a report or just on the internet, my print is very small. Now I know how to zoom in or use my control and mouse to get the print bigger- for that particular page but then it reverts down to hardly can read when I get off that particular page. I would like to have bigger print for all pages or I am gonna have to get a seeing eye dog before long. Husband has a change zoom level on his and his print stays same for all he looks at. Why cannot I have the same?? Thanks.
thanks so much for the input...they have giraffe print ones i REALLY want
oops LOL
how do you print pictures from webshots
My daughter sent me a link to her webshots account.  I save as to my desk top and then when I print the they came very grainy.  She claims it is because they do not want people stealing pictures and you have to pay for them.  They are her pictures and she cannot even print them out. I think we are missing something there. 
Shoot. I can't print it. Anyone else have the same problem?

It uses the special coupon printer and I can never print coupons. I've tried umpteen times over the past few weeks. It makes me furious because there are so many coupons I could use, but can't.


I've removed the coupon printer, reloaded it x20, and still the same thing.

Can you go ahead and print the alignment page?
The print heads on HP printers are in the ink cartridges, so when you change the ink you've got new print heads to align.

I think they require this alignment before they will work properly, so if you can print the alignment page successfully, the message should then disappear. If not, then check your printer properties in Control Panel for other diagnostics.
i can't get this list to print out for nothin...last ditch effort.

The sad fact is, from what you have said (sm)
the dog is likely dangerous not only to cats, but to everyone else, as others have pointed out.

I would do some research with the hard facts about aggressive dogs and make an appointment to sit down with her and have it out. She needs an intervention as she is in denial about a potentially disastrous situation.

The dog most likely *should* be euthanized at this point.
Other than the fact
I have a daughter instead of a son, and we haven't been married quite as long, I could've written your post... I also feel like I'm a hermit now, always was a little shy, but MUCH more so now. I think I have depression now too. I'm 40 by the way. I don't have any solutions, but just wanted to say you're not alone.
You do not give them food, you give
the children food but if they did not have the food to eat, probably would call family and children services. I do NOT give away money to anyone.
It's not the fact that she maybe has a point
in that post, but the fact that she takes every opportunity to jump on any person here who works at home with children and makes broad generalizations about how we do our job and how we don't.

Me, personally, I did this to stay home. I however did not work full time when my kids were babies. There is no way I feel like I could have. I am working full time now that they are out of the house in school. Yet, I was accused of being one of those "unprofessionals."

I agree the OP needs to find another solution, because the one she has isn't working.
The fact that she reached out to you

...is a very good sign. It means that she hasn't entirely given up hope yet. But she needs all the support she can get. I don't know what resources are available in your area or what she has already tried, but she needs to get into therapy immediately and she needs to find a way to obtain her medications and start taking them again. There are agencies which can help with problems like these - you can help her search for them and help her do whatever is required (filling out applications, etc.) to get her going - because of her depression, she may not have the energy to do all of this on her own right now.


The most important thing you can do is to let her know that you are there for her, that she is important to you, and that ALL problems are solvable - maybe not in exactly the manner we would prefer (it is possible she may lose her house) but sometimes a situation that seems so dire at the time may end up having an unexpected, positive affect on our lives. Believe me, I speak from personal experience.


Kudos to you for being so caring and concerned about your coworker.

I know for a fact it was wrong and someone
else who was also devastated when he died because she felt like a mom to him. This is not someone who knows someone either. This is my family I am talking about. I'm not going to put all the details here on a message board, but I am going to say all sources I don't care where they came from are wrong by stating that her mother cared for him up until he was 6 years old. They are false or mistaken. Maybe she claimed to have taken care of him and that's fine, but she did not take care of him for the first 6 years of his life.
The fact they depreciate instead of
what houses are supposed to do - increase in value, is one reason not to. But I had a townhouse I just adored. Lawn was taken care of for me.
It's not the fact that he goes on those sites

My husband and I have used porn during our marriage to "spice things up," and I was perfectly okay with that. The OP is not. This is an area of marriage where I think there must be either agreement or acceptable compromise, or the marriage will not work.


Yes, they should try to work things out before giving up on their marriage. But it doesn't sound promising.

The mere fact
That you ask if you are overreacting means that you, unfortunately, are playing the victim. NO ONE should question whether or not they are overreacting, when in their gut THEY KNOW that in fact they are being abused. You husband has no respect for himself or you....it was smart of you to cut him off from sex, but obviously that has not deterred him from trying to break you down even more. This isn't about sex, it's about power and control. GET OUT NOW.
As a matter of fact, he did.
Actually, a few years later he took the boys, then 8 and 14, because they needed the discipline of a dad. Bad mistake! He'd convinced me he had changed, but then went out to his play rehearsals and band practice every night, leaving the boys at home. I'd sue to get custody back, he'd shape up for awhile, I'd back off, and the cycle repeated until I ran out of money. The boys are grown now, doing basically okay. He's just pathetic now.
Yes in fact one of them is already spoken for
from a little girl that goes to our church. The little girl who owns the guinea pig and bred her has such a love for animals that she would not let them go to anybody that wouldn't take care of them! For her 13th birthday instead of asking for presents for herself, she asked each girl that was coming to the party to bring a gift for a dog or cat and then took them to the animal shelter and spent her birthday giving away the gifts to the animals and playing with them, brushing them and just being with them. She is an awesome young lady!
As a matter of fact -
I love making cinnamon-rasin bread with this same recipe. Also, it's great for homemade pizza and bread sticks - and a lot cheaper than sending out, though maybe a little more labor intensive! Worth it for the taste, though. I've also made fried dough on special occasions. Great minds DO think alike!
Why don't you appreciate the fact that he cooks???
I mean, seriously. You said, "he messed up my good cake pain?" What the he**? My husband doesn't even know here our dam cake pan is. Quit complaining, pull your big girl panties up and either leave or stand up for yourself! Sitting in another room crying? Don't give him that much power. He sounds just as mad as you are. I bet it's not all his fault. I've been married a long time. When one person acts like that they are mad at the other person. Talk to him. Don't whine and complain. Be proactive and leave if it's that bad, although he rented a room to be with you so it can't be that bad.
I don't think your nuts. In fact...

I just noticed my back STOPPED itching.  I had an itchy back for the longest time...always rubbing against doorways like a crazed grizzly bear rubbing on a tree trunk, using a coat hanger to scratch myself, bathroom towel, you name it. 


I think what was causing my problem was my chair!  Whatever the fabric was on it was causing my back to get really heated and probably caused it to sweat and caused the itchies.  I have a new chair and it just dawned onto me that I don't itch anymore!  Well, I mean aside from the usual wintertime dryness, but nothing like before. 


Anyway, it's just a thought.   By the way, I'm jealous that you have Valium.  Always wanted to try the stuff but no one likes to prescribe it anymore it seems.  I just down some cheap wine instead.  Works just as well I guess. 


Hope you get some relief soon!

No, as a matter of fact
I did not revel. I did not know what to think seeing here there saying that. Unfortunately, I don't live where she was speaking and the news channels did not show the whole speech, only parts of it. I do have to say that now she is putting it out there that her comment was aimed at "gangsta rappers." That can't be factual, or if it WAS, I sure did not see anybody remotely fitting that description in her audience. Why can't she just say, "Woops, I said it, but did not mean it and I'm sorry. That was inappropriate." Instead, she has all sorts of commenters out there blowing smoke trying to CYA for her, trying to twist it and put it into a context that casts her in a better light. Frankly, I am sick of her more than I can say. She should be thankful to live here in the US where she got into a great college when she had a very poor GPA, which would never have happened anywhere but here in the US.
I pray it is not fact ..
I pray it is not fact ..I can't imagine a tabloid reporting such news without a reliable source. I know, I know. They are scum and do bad reporting all the time.
as a matter of fact, it's not so dum...
See, the cats have it both ways. They are predator without truly being prey. Plus, their numbers are great enough that it's conceivable they could impact local populations. And honestly, domestic housecats are "exotic species" to the North American fauna, not a natural predator or part of the normal ecosystem at all. So, yeah, the guy has a point.

But then I'm biased, I admit, because I keep my own cats indoors and I'm aggravated no end with the neighbor cats who come and spray in my yard. :)
You need to reinforce the fact to him that
just because you work at home does not mean you are available for whatever. You have a responbility to your job too and should fairly well set hours as if you were in an office. I have had to explain that to my kids (19 and 14) that just because I am home does not mean "I am at home."
As a matter of fact
I will be spending Thanksgiving with my daughter (age 39) and some of her friends and we plan to break out the old Trivial Pursuit!  Can't wait - it sure beats watching sports on T.V.
It is mainly the fact that the seller will not..sm
respond to any emails. All he has to do is respond and say yes it has been shipped. It leads me to believe he is avoiding me.
We try to buy organic and in fact
going to the local farmer's market today- we buy chicken like that and also hubs likes to get vegetables and fruits like that also. You are right though- the only way is doing your own farming or knowing where they sell organic.
Fact or Opinion

DS is stuck on two questions.


"I enjoy reading books by Judy Blume" Is this fact or opinion. DS says fact, I say opinion.


Next


"My mom loves for me to wear blue shirts" fact or opinion.
I say opinion, he says fact.


I'm confused now because if I were to say that I enjoy reading a certain book, I would consider it fact for me.

Not looking for sympathy, in fact
I figure to get the opposite! Doesn't matter! I'm a smoker ... yeah that's right, a dirty low life scum of the earth polluting your air smoker! One of the few little pleasure I have in life. When the price of cigarettes went sky high, we started "rolling our own". It was a lot cheaper, for a while. The price of the tobacco went up, but still much cheaper than cigarettes. Well today, DH was informed at or local tobacco store, that because of a new tax hike, it will go from $9.14 a can to over $20.00 by April 1st? Ok. I'm done, let the stoning begin...
What I meant was the fact she was so old
probably was unaware of the video being recorded as she was showing her behind. I am older and on senior trip the driver had GPS and most of the seniors were talking back to it, thinking it was a person sitting somewhere and giving the driver directions, talking to it just like it was a real person. Some elderly folks just not up with the technology. You are right, she should have just closed her mouth. I do not argue with the law.
if you think that the fact that my 1st reaction
to seeing the photo of this dog posted on the board was 'scaaary', gives you the right to take 'actions' against my right to post on this forum, you are**********
You can insert here the worst names you can think of.

I do not know this dog and when the picture came up on the screen it frightened me. This was not what I expected, abd it has nothing to do with being

'immature.'

You have NO right to play forum police here!

It's YOU who is harassing me!

I agree. In fact, I found it fun because
I was 5 and my twin sister had it too, and dad kept bringing home presents for us, LOL.
I love your answer regarding the fact that
she probably won't notice for awhile- it will probably just slip her mind. My adorable hubby called tonight to ask me to take something out of the freezer. He was on his way home, said to leave out for about an hour or so and then I was supposed to put back in fridge. He said, oh, that's all right hon, I know you'll probably forget so I will give you a call back at 5 just to remind you. He just loves on me!!!
What I see on this board is the fact women
really do not accept the fact if you have a hubby who doesn't cheat, google, stray, look at other gorgeous women, or mistreat you - they just do not believe you can have a husband who takes the cake. I have seen it time and time again. I think a lot of women are so miserable in their lives with their husbands and think they have to put up with mistreatment they don't believe it when another has a hubby who is all that! If I hadn't approached my hubby about marriage, I probably would still be a widow. His family thought confirmed batchelor at 49 and he, like I, value each and every day we have together. Raised on a farm, good work ethics, painfully shy and wants to just blend into the woodwork and hardly makes eye contact with someone other than me, very difficult in social places for him but so thankful for this gem. I just wish people on here, if they have hubbys who stray, mistreat them, Google others, whatever know some men just not that way and it has nothing to do with their sexuality...
