Glad to hear it. If he's still having too many,
don't give up on him. There are other drugs, though phenobarb is a good one that they always try first.
Glad to hear you say that,
I saw the female being interviewed but people just the gun in saying racist when it happens here. More people leaving the north and heading south that Atlanta is probably the fastest growing city there is and the blacks are in the majority. The police was deathly ill, vomiting and had to go to the hospital - if you can tell me how being sickened by a hamburger got to being racist, please??
Glad to hear it sm
Three nice stories, so happy to hear something positive. I do keep my distance and try to keep my mouth shut and help when asked, do not jump in or go over without calling, etc. and mostly when invited only and I don't overstay. I only want what is best for my son and know if he's happy, I'm happy. I think those of us who have lived longer and know better, get the drill. I can't stand the way we MIL's are portrayed, I really have not seen one movie, TV show or article with something positive, it's like the old "wicked step mother" theme that sold books and movies for years. So happy to know there are some good MIL stories out there. It makes me feel better. Sometimes I just wonder whether I'm doing okay in that department or not, it's difficult, I wish they'd show both sides but they don't. Thanks for the positive input, I feel better. Sometimes we need a younger spin on things, times do change and I want to stay in my place and do the right thing without being a pain. I also do not want to be neglectful of their needs. I usually call and ask if they'd like a night out, because I know how important it is for a happy marriage. They usually jump at the chance. Guys don't talk about these things and I would never ask anyway if I'm doing okay as a MIL. It's a tough job to keep your nose clean. More, more - good news! Be happy, perhaps we can put a more positive spin on relationships.
Okay, glad to hear you have got it
all covered! Good luck at your new place. 
Glad to hear that....
Are you an MTSO or QA? It's so difficult for MTs these days, Annie, so please bear with us.
We're told not to change anything, type what was dictated, even when it goes against every fiber of our being to let some of this stuff go. I have an ongoing internal struggle to not clean up every iota of poor grammar in a report. With ESLs, we may THINK we know what they meant to say, but we don't know that as a fact so we have to suck it up and leave it go as dictated.
I'm glad the MT in question wasn't zapped on the 'transferred' versus 'transfused.' As I said earlier, sounds like the clinician could very well be ESL, and I would not have tampered with it, either (and I've been doing this 22 years).
I hope she does rectify her other problems, for her sake and your sake :-)
Glad to hear it!
Blood clots can be serious, but now that they know what they're dealing with they can treat it. (My mother has similar problems and takes a rather large dose of Coumadin. She jokes that her blood is like motor oil. My dad, on the other hand, bleeds rather easily so I don't know what side of the fence I'll land on!)
I think you should talk to your doctor about your concerns about the birth control pills.
Glad to hear it worked! nm

I'm so glad to hear it. I knew you had it in ya'!
That is so great!!! Glad to hear!! nm

Glad to hear from another nonprude!
I enjoyed your posting, thanks for joining in.
Glad to hear from all the lonely sm
I am older and find that after years of holding back on personal information re. all in the community, I had to be careful about what I said or asking someone how they were, as I wasn't supposed to know they had cancer, etc. This further alienated me from some people I would purposely avoid getting into a conversation with. At any rate the "jealousy" factor also came into play from those not bright enough to "work" and the only thing they had to do was the annual bazaar, etc., which is fine but if I arrived on the scene and offered to help, I was actually ostracized as not being "one of the girls." I gave up on it all, don't even go to church anymore. I miss it because I believe in mind, body and spirit. Somehow the only spirituality and happiness I find are within my own home with beautiful CD's and private prayer, etc., I don't even want to try to get close to these "beaches." No one understands what we do, if I say "medical transcription" they say, "WHAT?" They don't have a clue. Glad I'm not alone. I was actually told, "Well, my house is a 'home' and I am a homemaker. I did both and my kids are healthy, happy and do very well despite the fact that their mom was a "working" mom. Geez, Louise! I also got told, "Oh, you work, so you can just bring soda and chips." I also bake, cook and sew!
Oh I am so glad to hear there is a shelter...sm
that does give pits a chance. I love em. I love all dogs.
Glad to hear the worst is over!
Thanks for posting an update. I did wonder what the outcome had been and hoped you were doing better.
I hope the other stone doesn't present a problem if/when it passes. It sounds like it's small enough that it may not be too much trouble. Keep some drugs on hand, just in case!
Glad you're back.
So glad to hear that! They are scary to watch! nm

So glad to hear Shasha is a rescue....
i have a special place in my heart and life for rescues and feel the need to speak out on their behalf. if dh passed by them all, then this must be the dog for your family.
good luck with whomever you choose...your dogs are very lucky to be part of your household. 
I'm glad to hear your surgery went well. I had a vaginal...
hysterectomy about 3 years ago and I think it took about 6 months before the hot flashes started. Best of luck to you.
Glad to hear the good news -sm
Thanks for the update. That is good news! You have eased my mind about having it done, and I hope to do it real real soon. I know I've put it off long enough. Your messages have been so encouraging and much appreciated. I'll keep watching in case you post any more good news. ;-)
Glad to hear you finally got your money. Please also...sm
post a message on Clark Howard's website under Bad Customer Service as well as file a negative report against them with the Better Business Bureau if they're a member with them. The latter rarely does anything but at least you can file a complaint and let them know that these folks were scoundrels.
Glad to hear you're okay Hayseed
and hanging in there...Missed your wit and smiling face around here!
Glad to hear the good news! Now.......

Glad to hear everything turned out okay for your furkid. nm

Glad to hear that it was not a spider bite. I was concerned

Glad to hear your tests turned out good..
I wonder if some people are more susceptible to cysts than others? Have you had anymore cysts?
I have one on my head (hidden under hair), a lipoma on my forearm (need to get it x-rayed though as it has been driving me crazy lately) and an ovarian cyst (My GYN left it in place just in case it was helping the pregnancy). I found out about the ovarian cyst when I was pregnant for my twins. They were actually triplets at first (with one growing in the tube) so at 6 weeks, we had to have surgery. I was heartbroken to lose a baby but feel so blessed and lucky that the other 2 made it and have done well since. They are now 2 strong, active little boys and were 1 day from being full-term :)
There were a lot of albino deer in Shenandoah Natl Park.
I don't know if they are still a "problem". A while back, hunters were asked to specifically look for and thin them from the herds -- something to do with weakening the gene pool. I don't know anything about wildlife management, but I know that I've seen a good number of albino deer in SNP. It is exciting to see them!
Alton Brown. I like that show, too. He also hosts Iron Chef America.

ignorant
I would definitely say something to him and his wife as well so that way she can know how ignorant he is as well. That is terrible to say that to a kid. They have to deal with enough growing up right now. They should have to deal with ignorant parents like that to!
Ugh how ignorant
This woman is so ignorant. What if a woman takes the Nazarite Vow? Hmmmm.. Well then she must shave her head at the end of the prescribed period. I don't know or care about her buy MY mothers in heaven don't have long hair. As for saying that MOST of the women in the world wear spiky heels? Well she's just proving her ignorance there. I would wager the majority of women in the world do NOT wear spiky high heels. I certainly don't because I'd fall off! And her remarks about makeup? I don't wear 5 layers of makeup either.
Oh and not to mention her comments about long hair are based in a verse in Bible from a letter from Paul to the Corinthians. NOT the word of God but the opinion of Paul so :P
That's kind of ignorant
That just shows that he really doesn't care all that much about how you feel or what you want. He seems to think that it's all about him. I would be furious if my husband pulled that kind of stuff! Mine is very good about that sort of thing, and he always asks or suggests and doesn't just say "this is what we're doing." I would be especially annoyed if he was planning a vacation with someone that I didn't even know!
I'm ignorant too, but I asked my son (sm)
Now this may not be your answer, but he said that most cameras don't print directly to a printer. You would have to connect the camera to your computer and then to the printer. He said that if there is the capability to print directly from camera to printer, you would need a USB port.
I just bought my daughter and my son's GF Sony digital cameras, but they just download onto computer and don't print; otherwise I'd ask one of them.
Hope someone can help you out better than I. Might want to call Best Buy (or similar). They might be able to help you too.
Good luck and happy picure-taking! :-)
that's an ignorant thing to say
what about the german shepherds or the chow-chows that attack people? pitbulls get blamed because they get put in the hands of BAD OWNERS. because of their reputation, bad people like to own them cause they think they are tough, therefore not properly caring or treating their pitbulls right, and therefore leading to the injuries you speak of.
Guess what, my dogs are aggressive dogs, one of them is a freaking jack russell/border collie mix and the other is an american bulldog (bulldog family not pit) and a boxer! for god's sake!
dont ONLY blame the pitbulls. it's pathetic how people do that. Any attack on a human from a pitbull is terrible, but they are not the only ones that do it!
You are ignorant about feed lots.
There are many large feed lots for horses that are fattened up and then sent to one of the 3 big slaughter houses in Texas to be sent off to Belgium, Japan, etc, in the form of steaks. I have myself rescued riding horses from auction by outbidding the killer buyers. There are bills pending that will outlaw this terrible thing, but the administration of Bush is against the bill and is supportive of the horse slaughter trade. I have known individuals over the years, being a horse owner and lover, that would buy horses and then fatten them up and resell them to kill buyers or to the slaughter house themselves. Many of these were horses that weren't fast enough on the track to make money, and also good riding horses, they were just worth more as meat. Go to any horse auction and you will see good horses going for slaughter just because that is who is the highest bidder. It is a heartbreaking experience.
and at the risk of sounding ignorant
isn't it true when one gets a vaccine, they are actually receiving some of the disease itself?....remembering back to smallpox vaccinations.......so are they going to vaccinate the girls by giving them a tad of cancer? Really, I hate sounding ignorant but.......
Personally I think the women of the USA, Texas right now especially, should BE SCREAMING THEIR HEADS OFF about this.............That Rick Perry dude - says he sees this vaccination no different than a polio vaccination.....HOW DARE THEY when they know not much about this new drug/vaccination.........remember all the new-ish drugs that have been recalled and lawsuits abound? Vioxx, Bextra, Accutane, hmmmmm....tons more......

EXCUSE ME....ignorant minority???
May I remind you that Roe V Wade was the product of a handful of activist judges?? ANYwhere wholesale abortion has been on a ticket for all of US out here to vote on, it was defeated. They tried first to make it a "state" issue, and it was voted down. So activist judges overturned the will of the people and now we have abortion on demand. So PLEASE do not insinuate that the majority of people would vote FOR abortion, because you are VERY MUCH mistaken.
YES. Ignorant , 'way-too-vocal minority.
.
I was taught to "always ignore the ignorant."
Unfortunately, I've run into people like that before, and I just ignore the comment, make nice chit-chat for a few minutes and "see you later alligator." At least, I demonstrated what my values are and did not degrade myself to their level. The main word here is "ignorant." There are so many people out there that are ignorant of their own manners, ignorant of other people's feelings, just tactless mules.
how ignorant to compare lice with neglect.
It's merely a case of misinformation or improper education to her family on how to treat the problem, in no way is lice infestation and lack of getting rid of them completely a sign of neglect.
Maybe this mom just plain doesn't understand how to get rid of them completely or perhaps there are other things going on in her life that this isn't getting dealt with properly. They need support not ridicule as some of the posters have said - obviously since you've been there you should know it isn't as easy as people think to get rid of them.
Agreed! Hear, hear...amen, sister!

Do You Hear What I Hear and Little Drummer Boy
I love the holiday!
Hear, hear! I'm with you too, same boat. -nm

Did not hear about the porn but did hear
there might be a conflict about her babies going home with her when they were able to be dismissed. You can hardly blame anyone for questioning how she will take care of them. From what I have seen, she hardly seems stable enough to do that.
Dh just told me a something
before it got back home. He took my oldest daughter to an out of town football game. Me and the baby stayed home as it is really too cold for her to be out. Well, he told me that this gal (recently divorced and hot to trot) came and sat by him and they were enjoying the game together.  He said people were staring. All I said was "okay." Okay, I need to keep my head. I should just trust Dh but we are having marital problems and the subject of divorce has come up but I thought we were going to put it behind us and work it out. Help me not blow up and blow it out of proportion. I can sometimes loose my head.
That's what they were told - sm
That the repair would be so obvious, it would be like night and day. I don't know, I guess if it were me, I would definitely want to know just exactly how much my premium would be going up before I made a decision. They do have the option of just havig their LR done for 200-300 dollars though, versus having the entire carpeting replaced and paying a higher premium. So, in reality, they will be paying for the carpeting anyway, like a poster above said.
He just told her (sm)
that he was about to compliment her, and that she could ditch the surprised act and just say thank you. He said something like that a couple of times, in other words to not act so surprised she's getting a compliment and like, really? really? me? and just say thank you, and that's what she did.
She really sang great last night, like she does just about every time.
Boy was I just told - NOT - sm
I just got a call from the mother of this girl who comes over now and then telling me that I am a horrible hostest and how dare I make her daughter feel uncomfortable.
OH PUH-LEEEEEEZ!
I'm laughing, hoping this means we won't see this brat OR her nasty witch of a mother darken our doorstep again.
So this is what happened. The girl comes over to "hang out". I was up from my desk moving a load of laundry from washer to dryer and when I walked back into my office, there she is, typing away on MSN messenger talking to friends.
It is a well known rule in this house by EVERYONE, including the kids that come over, that they do NOT even look in the direction of my computer because it is a company computer and my income depends on it. There are TWO other computers that are for family use. STAY OUT! Clear enough? Apparently not to this little brat.
I came back into my office and told her she needed to get away from my desk, telling her for the millionth time that it is my work desk only. I was nice at this point but not happy.
She then tells me "Just a second, I'm talking." That's when I blew a gasket!
I said, "Get out. Go home. Now." Very firm but not yelling and screaming like I would have loved to do. She turns around and makes this face at me, then pushes my chair back really hard as she is getting up and it bounces off my bookshelf, giving it a good rattle. So as she was walking out the door I simply told her, do not come back. You are not welcome.
Then her witchy mother called. I couldn't care less what the hag was yelling about so I just interrupted her and said, "HEY! She's 15. She should know better than to act like that in someone's home and if YOU don't teach her that BEFORE she does that somewhere else, this will NOT be the last time she gets the boot!" And hung up on her.
My kids were hiding in the hall giggling as all this took place. They never had the guts to tell her to get lost.
Before anyone tries putting a guilt trip on me... this kid is FAR from neglected, comes from a nice home, parents are well off, just SPOILED beyond belief and she believes that everyone should jump when she says jump. I AM NOT PLAYING ALONG!
I told her she should have said
They wouldn't like you either!
What nerve, what stupidity on his part, what ignorance. I am going to address how I feel about cats personally in a separate post and comment on some of the responses I have received. I am very appreciative of the responses and the dialogue back and forth. It is in some way healing, at least to me, and I hope to others.
tell her exactly what you told us
and she needs to be aware of the STDs out there..They think it will never happen to them, but it can...that is why talking with a GYN or nurse practitioner would be a good thing to give her pamphlets and brochures and also keep the lines of communication open between the two of you.
I was always told not to mix
your alcohols (wine coolers, beer, cocktails, etc), but more importantly don't break the seal or you'll be in the ladies' room all night.
Have Fun!!!
Perhaps I should have told the
whole story, but just wanted thoughts based on the information I did provide and the assumption that it did happen. What would you do if it were your child and you were certain that this is what was said?
Thanks to those who have responded. I look forward to seeing what others have to say as well.
Told her that already.

What I told
I have three - told them the truth. It worked for my daughters, worked some for my son. One of the big issues was "parties" and I just said no. They asked why. I told them that I knew them and did not think they would find it especially fun to watch their friends and themselves drink and ralph on other people's shoes. I actually described a few parties I had been to and all the graphic details. They believed me and decided not to go to parties until they were old enough to leave on their own power whenever they wanted. I just told all of them the graphic truth (my mother did not tell me and let me learn everything on my own - that was not such a good idea either in my opinion and she could have saved me a lot of grief if she had only spoken up. My son did drink when he was 18, but only at someone's home and says he did not drive. I believe him because he is now 37 and has no reason not to tell me the truth anymore. So, tell what you feel comfortable with. I think parents can have a big impact on their children when they are honest.
Have you told them what you told us?
I'd lay it right out to them like you just did here. Maybe they truly have no clue as to how it makes you feel.
