In Reply to: Wow. - Misha
My mother's floors you could eat off of back then - and we all were scared (terrified) of her.....my house is clean enough to be healthy and dirty enough to be happy...*S* .....I think Misha's post said it all and by all means, she posted it for you to utilize when you decide to confront hubby on these issues....
Best of luck.....from an equalist who, when my ex did a white glove test, I got so mad, I handed him the dust cloth and product(s) and told him, if he wasn't happy to do it himself..........'nuff said....*lol*... and him being the passive-aggressive a** that he was - I ended up divorcing him after nearly 14 years and thinking I should have been sainted for staying THAT long....never regretted one minute away from that either........been nearly 16 yrs....

You're not 'low-class', you're FUNNY, & a good writer!
Which is often the case then someone is the first to cast stones!
great post and I so appreciate what you're doing!!sm
God sees all - and you ARE blessed!! Thanks for posting all you have posted and sharing with all of us!!! I so get it about dealing with the govt and trying to get anywhere in dealing with govt agencies!! I wish for you and the children THE BEST!!!
  
lol, you're posts are getting a little out of hand with the duh post below and this one.
in a kinder tone. The topic is not the concern to me, it's the tone of your posts. Thank you.
All good points, good post. (nm)

Expanded for you in above post...You're welcome to join mine...SM
With your sense of humor, you'd fit right in with the down to earth part of us!! My DD (dear daughter) would have a blast trying to make us think she was innocent enough that she doesn't understand a bunch of your jokes!! She's 13 and negotiating that Mommy's Little Angle versus Teenage Devil part of life, and tries to hold back the snickers when a dirty joke is told. The good old days were when she was reading a page of blond jokes and really didn't understand the ones with sexual inuendo. How quickly those days went by...
You're just a Scrooge, that's all. Read Jewish Moms post above.

You're right , a GOOD dad could help me (sm)
Number 1, I have no intention of allowing my son to be put on medication of any kind - ever. So that assumption is wrong.
Number 2, his dad beat me up and cheated and was never home, but he is an engineer so any court would have given him more custody if he wanted it.
Number 3, "Dad" has not called a single time since the separation to talk to the kids even though he has an open invitation to do so at any time AND has been told he can see the kids any time he choses - yet has never asked for an extra minute.
Number 4, If I had a choice between a good marriage and divorce, of course I would have chose the good marriage.
You should not assume because you know what that makes out of u and me
They're really good, but
I'd recommend using a bucket with a hole drilled in the bottom. Much cheaper and more durable than the ones you've "seen on TV." I plant my tomatoes upside down and then put herbs in the top of the buckets.
You're boring me. Gonna do my work and stop checking to see what nonsense you post next nm

I would think 15 is good if you're giving her something else with it.
However, $90 for cut and color is inexpensive? I live in a pretty expensive area and basic color generally runs around $35 to $40 and cuts are not always $50+. I'd say she is expensive but if she is good probably worth it.
Tell them the truth, you're still looking for a man that's good enough ; )
That ought to shut them up. LOL. It is rude. I'm over 40 and often get the "do you have kids" question and I do not. If they ask why not I say *I guess I've been blessed*. LOL
sounds like you're doing good
If you can make jam cake and cornbread, you are a Kentucky gal now! I live in Northeasten KY in a small town - though not as small as yours - I lived here my entire life and when I married, we moved to Shreveportm, Louisiana for a couple of years - so that was culture shock for me!
You're a good mommy!
He's going to feel much better with your plan I think.
You should brag. You're a good momma.
And a big congratulations to her. Job well done!
What type of nursing job is she going to get? My SIL is in labor & delivery and just loves it.
good post
I adopted shelter pets....my daughter and I both wish we could bring them all home and donate to humane society. If I had the money, I would buy a ranch and take in neglected animals.
good post..sm
I wholeheartedly agree with what you just said 100 percent, except that God also wants us to live by his commandments, which means Thou Shalt Not Kill; and also taking one day a week to honor only him, to sing his praises, and to rest. So many people think of the weekend as their time off from their duties in life, but forget to honor god. He also wanted us to honor the original religious holidays, and I am not referring to Easter and Christmas, which are man made holidays, not holy days. God was referring to the religious Holy days written into the Torah. A lot of people have no knowledge of that either. I also agree there are going to be an awful lot of ticked off people when Jesus returns. I only hope, and I mean hope, that I will be counted among those he receives as his own. I try my best, but I also know that I am a sinner, as no man is exempt from being one. I have been born again, but sometimes fall short of what god wants us all to be. Bless you for having the courage to say what you said.
Good post.
While it's politically incorrect to even mention race (other than ''white'' as the other poster mentioned) or country of origin (other than American), the families of the slaughtered students probably don't think this is the time for political correctness. It is naieve to assume that everyone who comes to this country does so out of love for this country or respect for American culture/way of life. It is also foolish to assume that parents do not impart their own beliefs to their children. And 8 year-olds are not just hatched from the egg--they HAVE been to school and HAVE been somewhat influenced by their families and culture by that age. And they CONTINUE to be influenced by their family. Some immigrants are motivated to come here strictly for economic reasons but hold onto the cultural attitudes of their country of origin. A love for one's country does not necessarily occur by osmosis -- it is shaped and influenced by family attitudes and home environment no matter what the country of origin. A recent NY Times article cited a poll taken in which a majority of South Koreans expressed trust for the North Korean president more than the American government. While, apparently, nobody anywhere has any use for Pres.Bush anymore, that's still some gratitude after so many of our soldiers have died over the years defending their country. No, this political correctness and assumption that every person who relocates here does so out of love for the USA is sheltered, naieve and damaging to our country.
Good post
I had a panic attack in February, my first and hopefully my last. I agree that medication is not a good long-term solution, but my doctor gave me about 14 days' worth Klonopin. Just enough to give me a chance to catch my breath (literally). Then I started exercising again and did the deep breathing he recommended. When I went back after 6 weeks, he asked if I wanted any meds to keep on hand and I told him no. If I needed it, I would call him.
I hope your doctor can help you like mine helped me, because even though my attack was a one-time thing, nothing chronic like you seem to be having, I know it wasn't anything I want to go through again. Good luck to you!
good post.

Good post
What I'm thinking is.....it does not matter if you are black, white, pink, purple whatever....people grieve in different ways....and if somebody falls out....starts screaming......it might be the fact that they are finally realizing that this is a loved one that they will never see again....
Thanks for this post OP; all in good fun.
We go with not so traditional and I think it's great! Thanks again! 
good post
I agree with everything you said... life is too short to sweat the small stuff. . My mom used to call me at times when I was trying to work and I would get a little aggravated but I always talked to her - I remembered the song that said "don't rush off the phone when your mama calls- you ain't that busy". . anyway, she has been gone nearly a year and I would love to have her call me again. . . There is nothing wrong with taking time for yourself but you are the only mother your children will ever have and they do need you, even if you (and they) think they don't. .
good post
good post - I think you were very wise in handling your teen driver the way you did - looking back, I wish we had done the same with our daughter. . We bought her a very old car and she was responsible for the gas - we paid insurance - rules were if you get a speeding ticket, the car will be taken for a period of time - didn't say how long - that never happened. . if caught drinking in the car, keys taken away forever. .that didn't happen either. . She did have a couple of minor accidents - the first during a rain storm at a very low speed, the second was when a deer jumped out in front of her car. . no injuries either time - except to the deer! She was allowed to have one other person in the car with her for first 6 months. . I believe that was probably not a good thing - should have had no others with her for at least 6 months - they also need all kinds of driving experience, night driving, inclement weather, etc. . It takes a while to get the experience they need to react correctly. . it's hard, because they are so eager to drive and so sure they are good drivers. . but it is our job to protect them. .
Good post - sm
I was fearful of owning a pitbull until I got mine too.
I have also learned that, by the majority, the pitbulls that tend to be aggressive are usually the females.
The same is true with a lot of breeds of dogs. Cats too. The females are more aggressive.
it's a good start....at least they cannot reproduce if they're dead

amen! good post.
I agree -- you wrote what the Bible teaches -- and i too am sure it is more than we can imagine or understand now. Why the OP would be so interested in opinions rather than the truth is rather curious to me....
You're worried about the mother? Doesn't sound like she did a very good job herself! nm

that's OK, it's only my 2nd post on this website, I need to think of a good moniker!nm
ddd
That was a very good post. I wish more people shared your opinion-

Hello..You could have written my post. The jelaousy bug..Gets the good ones all the time!!! nm

This post made me laugh and then brought tears to my eyes...good for you!!!
I think that is great you went to the school. I'm guessing he will turn out just fine if he's got a mom like you! *Hugs*
Misha
My deepest sympathies are with you. Losing a loved one -- be it two- or four-legged -- is among the most horrific things one must face. Dogs, cats, et AL are all children to us who love them, and we mourn them as deeply as we would a human. My prayers will be with you and Sasha, who must surely feel the loss as well.
Yea, Misha....
this thread was nice. Thanks for starting it! 
Misha- How is CJ?
I've been thinking about you both.
Oh Misha, I'm so sorry about CJ.
You went above and beyond for him. I am so sorry for your loss and the huge hole in your heart. 
Oh Misha, I'm so sorry...sm
I always read your posts with interest since I have (well, *had,* sniff...) Siberian Huskies too. I lost my Siberian, Alexx, in January, at age 15 yrs. I had to make the painful decision to let her go.
Then, just this past July, I lost my 'baby,' my Siberian Husky, Wiley. He died suddenly at home one morning, in my arms, of what the vets think was a pulmonary embolism. He was 12 years old and had been in poor health for about the last year, with some serious chronic issues, but he was making progress, so it was shocking, devastating, to lose him so suddenly like that.
My heart goes out to you. Really, there are no words. But here is a poem that I hope will bring you some comfort:
'We who choose to surround
ourselves with lives even more
temporary than our own,
live within a fragile circle,
easily and often breached.
Unable to accept its awful gaps,
we still would live no other way.
We cherish memory as the only
certain immortality, never fully understanding
the necessary plan.'
From The Once Again Prince,
by Irving Townsend
Take care of yourself, and know that you did everything you could. I hope the memories of the many happy times you spent with CJ will live with you for decades to come. - Lisa
Yes, Misha, I know what you mean
They are using new products and new techniques. I know this because prior to the past year or so I went to different places and never had a single problem. I always got a heavy highlight that looked more yellow or pale golden blonde with just foiling and not even a toner, very pretty and flattering with no stripes, almost looked like an overall color.
Now the past year or so they look beige or almost silver gray and very drab and clash with my natural color. I know of one product so far called ''Maji'' blond that does this because I had it before at another salon (too bad this time she didn't mention until after) and the same thing happened! I hate it.
Then she told me the older and cheaper bleaches tend to be more yellow. WELL, THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU USE THAT! I even brought an old picture and she could see it was more golden than grayish (which is how ash can appear) and I have no gray.
I also don't like the technique she used, weaving? (which in layman terms must mean stripes)! Ugh, I never had that before either.
It is just an overall very unflattering look. When I look around, sure enough this is what must be in, because it is what most people have. And drab hair is unflattering on most people so I just don't get it.
I am just so frustrated.
:(
You go Misha!
Congratulations on your first night with him! They just love to test their boundaries don't they?! Glad to hear you weren't havin' any of that...sometimes it really throws folks. I know I sure can be intimitated at times by strange animals.
I also crate too, much to the shagrin of PETA-like folks. It is a wonderful tool and every night when we get ready for bed I say, "In the hut" and the two little guys go RUNNING in there to play with all their toys and each other in their little den. They absolutely love it and are only locked in it for the night so I can guarantee there won't be any accidental pee/poop when we all rise-n-shine in the morning. During the day I leave their door open to the crate and they still go in there just to hang out and play with the stuff in there or just take naps together. Darndest thing.
Feel free to e-mail me again if you have any pictures you want to share with us...I'd be more than happy to post them for you!
Congratulations again Misha and Cedric!
to may, misha, etc. :-) sm
This is SO funny! First off, she is a kid, but she's a 20-year-old kid with little (size 6) feet ;-)
She was very amused by this thread. She came in last night and I said, 'Someone insulted your feet!' She totally cracked up when she read everything. She looked at her feet and said, 'OMG, I DO have a gap! You can fit a finger in there!' Then it dawned on her... as she was putting on her flips... 'Tell them that I'm a Florida girl and I NEED that gap so I can slip into my flips easier.' She only wears real shoes when it's cold or when she's dressed up ;-)
Thank you all for the kind responses and the fun. Funny how threads can just take on a mind of their own.
Misha, glad you had success with your bunion surgery. I went to a foot doctor a while back and he told me they'd have to basically break all the bones in my toes to fix everything. Didn't sound like fun LOL
Again, thanks and happy New Year to all!
So sorry Misha
Had the same thing happen in the same way with my Max many years ago only metastatic bone to lung. Thankfully she didn't suffer and had a wonderful friend in you! She was really pretty... There's a really nice message in a post from Romey to Grieving a Lot below on this page.
Oh, Misha, I'm so sorry
What a beautiful dog. Now your dogs are together again. Hugs to you and your family.
Misha...
What an absolutely beautiful animal :-)
I admire your love and dedication to your animals and I am so sorry for your loss.
Misha's weekend
I don't have much new to report about Misha, except that we did get out and go to PetsMart and she enjoyed more attention than usual from two-footed admirers of all sizes. My new prednisone dosing technique seemed to work - no crashing. She wouldn't eat out of a dog bowl, but she would suck canned food- Blue Buffalo lamb recipe - off my fingers, which was quite endearing. Sasha watched me hand-feed Misha and wouldn't touch her bowl until I had hand-fed HER 3 bites too. So I'm creating two monsters, but it felt pretty good at the time. I also got her to eat some Jumbone-type treats also, so at least she's not going to starve. :o}
Misha's Mom. Are you OK? I've been
thinking about you all. Hope you're doing OK. How is Sasha?
I was so sorry to hear about Misha. sm
Having Siberians (see my post above) and having done Siberian Husky rescue for 6 years (in the past), I feel a kinship with you. I just wanted to say hi and tell you my thoughts have been with you. Misha makes me think of my Cherokee...
It was a nice day Misha....
I'm glad the time changed. Longer days, more sunshine! LOL I'm ready for the new season... Would love to do some clothes shopping! 
Misha, I listened to what you said
and I went yesterday and got some arch supports - hubby said he should get me some good ones but at least I have a start with some WalMarts. The shooting pain hit both Saturday, Sunday and Monday morning and I am knocking on wood as I type, hoping this will alleviate that pain- none since I put those in my sandals. Gosh, just to think, if it did, how much I have spent trying to find a cure for this and it might have been less than 10$ all along? I am wearing them with my Bergies and strange feeling at first but I have not been without them at all, no barefoot, nothing except the arches and we will see!
I'm so very sorry for your loss, Misha.
.
Everyone, say hello to Misha's new boy, Cedric!
Oh don't you just wanna plant a huge kiss that little head?! Congratulations Misha!
