I can fall asleep with my music in my ears. Only issue I would have is if they talk loud enough to be over the music, or if a movie is playing during the long flights and you can't hear the movie because they are talking so loud, otherwise I don't see it being a big deal. What I don't get, though, is they always made it sound like it interferes with the radio controls or something to have wireless laptops on or cell phones. Guess that was just another story they tell to get you to do what they want, lol.

I see your points and agree that there
is definitely more going on here. It's very hard to give just 1 answer. There are so many other factors involved. As you said, is he just a deadbeat? Or is he out of work for the first time and is having a hard time dealing with it. Maybe he kept the $10 because he didn't want to have to ask (or beg) his wife for money later in the week. Does the wife handle the finances and does she "dole out" the money as she sees fit? If so, then I don't blame him for keeping the $10. Or is he constantly out of work, can't hold a job, wants the money for drinking or cards, etc?
Either way, the amount seems very trivial to end a marriage over. I, too, think there is more going on here and maybe this is just the straw that broke the camel's back.
I agree with you on some points
Yes- I do believe that person was dead before EMS got there. However, they said that MJ was having trouble breathing right after that injection -- why wait so long to get help? Why not call the EMS asap? I'm not sure that the body is that of MJ or that it is not. He hid from the world so much -- always covering his face. Again -- how would someone know to get that shot of him -- if the identy of the man was kept secret? I'm not saying he is not dead, but on the other hand I'm not 100% sure that he isn't. Wonder if the family is having DNA on the body? There are things that just don't add up, but the he always was "different." Many have said he used body doubles and had an army of wax replicas of himself. Really . . . how hard would it be to fake his own death if he wanted to. If he is really gone, may he rest in peace. He will be missed by his fans.
points are - it's all about.........sm
 in this country it is all about which politician is sleeping with which drug company, how much $$ transpires (greased palms), and in the end, what with all the drug recalls after extensive studying of all the drugs, recalled or not recalled, our family members being used as guinea pigs.
You like this system of doing things? You like the FDA?
*pppffffftttttttttttt*
As to your points
By the time of "the incident", drinking 12 beers was going real easy, 18 was average, and 24-30 meant it was the weekend. It was always one of my fears that I would wake up in the morning to find him dead beside me because I'm sure BAL had to be well in excess of .4. I always wondered if that tolerance of alcoholics (he can drink a 6-pack without visible effect to the untrained eye; I can't drink 2) always increased the level necessary to induce coma/respiratory failure.
As to pitying him, when I fell in love him he wasn't as bad as he is now. He drank 1 day a week, and then it was 2, and then it was 4, and then it was 7. Even now, I still love the part of him that's drowned there in the bottom of the Budweiser bottle. And I do pity him; I don't think he's happy. I think he drinks because he's miserable and then he's miserable because he drinks. The 2 months he was sober after the arrest was the longest his 14-year-old son has seen him sober, and the son is starting to show signs of the narcissistic danger-seeking behavior of his father, and I know that is tearing the ex up, although, ironically, he blames it on everything but himself.
As to the subpoena, the DA, at least the last time I talked to him, made it sound like there were no hard feelings if I didn't show up, although apparently without me there is only the report of the arresting officers.
In the state where it happened, punishment is a maximum of 1 year in jail. The ex tried to make me feel guilty about testifying and potentially making him miss a year at this critical phase in his boy's life, but there's a part of me that thinks getting the kid away from his dad and his father's cronies for a year would probably be a gift. I don't know why CPS hasn't stepped in by now anyway, although this is a bit "backwards" of a community.
I think it just said "low points", but
when I baked them yesterday, I ended up with 18 muffins and they were about 2 points each. I also saw on the same post where you can add unsweetened applesauce and FF egg substitute. That poster said this adds 0 points, so I guess you just figure out the points for the mix.
Finally, someone said they baked cookies with just the spice cake mix and the pumpkin. No water. 350 degrees at 10 minutes. I'm guessing you would be more cookies than muffns this way and lower points, but haven't tried them yet.
What points you are racking up!!
Give from your heart like you are doing. You will have Karma unbelievably so. I have gave over the years and continue to do so, first a friend whose husband died, having a tough time and I gave her $100- went up to my father's home and he turned around and gave me $10,000, bought a coat for a child in my neighborhood who needed 1 on a freezing day, paid $30.00 for that and the next day had unexpected check in mail for $300.00. I give money to animal shelter each and every month for their upkeep and even take my daily papers to the pound because the animals need those. I love being able to give, have done since I was a young child so my mother told me. You are really making points with the good that you do, give from your heart, no matter what you seem to think the response is, your rewards will be there for you in the long run. I never give to get back, never ever, just from my heart. I read stories in the papers or hear on television and will send money to different people I think deserve with never an expected return. Your heart is good!!
Not trying fo get points and people think what they want.....
I told how I work, what I do. I told what I see on these posts. How can that be anything but truth?? If it is perceived to be something other than that, well so be it. Only telling the truth. I think lots of MTs probably see themselves in what I have said and I have stepped on toes.
I have to disagree with some of these points
I do know that my natural gas bill, which is what I would be heating with, was WAY more than my electric bill. So I totally disagree with the statement that gas central heat is cheaper. My last heating bill 3 years ago (which only included gas) was $450 for one month.
What you posted says it uses .12 cph, which would equal approx $90 for 30 days, I could put 5 of them in my home before I reached my last gas bill!
Is this for everyone, no. Should it be used as a constant source of heat, probably not for most households (some single people might get away with it).
Really the only thing I saw in the article you posted against this heater was the cost of the heater. I am willing to pay that because I happen to want something that looks nice. This has a 30-day money back guarantee and a one year warranty.
Where I live anything that you can do to turn the thermostat down, if you use gas, will save you money. I need to heat my house 24/7 for about 7 months out of the year, if I had to pay for natural gas I don't know what I would do.
The others do have valid points, but...sm
things like this happen to me and I am most annoyed about the lack of consideration. It bothers me to spend time looking for an item to use only to find out it was lent out. My brother once let his friend use my lawnmower, without telling me. I ended up borrowing my neighbor's mower because the lawn was getting overgrown. It took 3 weeks to get mine back. I think it is reasonable to be asked first, especially if it is something of sentimental value, something that needs extra careful handling, or something that is actually used frequently like kitchen implements/pots/pans...and lawnmowers, of course. : )
Wow....good points actually nm

All good points!
I am in the state of Louisiana and not sure what the laws are regarding this. Ironicially, the neighbor who committed suicide informed ME a few years earlier that a previous owner of my home did the same thing and the first thing I asked him was if it occurred in the house! He told me it did not, it was at another location and I have to admit I was relieved to hear that.
In any event, they were good neighbors and I feel so bad for his wife who is left picking up all the pieces.
Good points, and that is the thing. It is not
a fix-all. Without making lifestyle changes, everyone will regain their weight back. My step-mom had the surgery and is over the 100-pound mark for the weight she has lost. She has cut out all breads from her diet, desserts, etc. She has made huge diet changes since, and that is why she is losing the weight and keeping it off. She also consumes a lot of protein. She has done fantastic with it though. My friend's sister had it and is having a lot of complications, but she has not followed the recommendations for after surgery either. Her son had it and has done great and is keeping the weight off.
He does bring up some good points, but -
He fails to say how all these countries offer the *free* healthcare. That is because it is not truly a free ride. Every time they pay $6 or more for a gallon of their heavily taxed gasoline they are paying for it. I know for a fact the property taxes in both Germany and England are outrageous because I have lived both places. The British also pay outrageous prices for telephone service, must register each TV they have in their home every year and pay to use it, the list goes on and on. So, while they walk out of the hospital without handing over any money, they have in fact paid for it in various other ways. Not quite sure Americans would go for some of this since we are already screaming about $3 for a gallon of gas. 
If you do WW, go to www.dwlz.com - all the points are there for food and restaurants.

You can google weight watcher points
and get them over internet at sites other than weight watchers. If you have the other material, just do it that way. That is what I am doing.
I really see and feel strongly about both points of view here. sm
I will say I am a Catholic, and a divorced one. I am not practicing at this point, but I am not an unbeliever...exactly. I consider myself a gnostic Catholic, and that is a story for another day.
The so-called Christian morals we have in this country are SELF-IMPOSED. They are with all religions. I consider myself a Christian, so I don't believe in sin because well, Christ died on the cross for the forgiveness of sin...even BEFORE we think about sinning. So, some of this I don't buy into.
If anyone thinks they have the slightest idea of what God wants them to do, they need therapy! WHY would any of us think we know the mind of the Divine??? I don't care how religious you are, YOU DO NOT KNOW THE MIND OF GOD.
I was in an extremely abusive marriage. He abused me, the kids, our minds, our bodies, our hearts, our souls. I was married in the Catholic church and I am still married in the church, having a divorce without an annulment. I made the commitment to keep only to this one man and that I have done. I live celibate for a number of reasons and my spoken commitment in the Catholic church is one of them.
Their respective marriages are over and not because of each other. They are free to be together if they choose to do so. Being arrogant enough to think he knows what God would want, yes he needs therapy! I think he is a bad bet for her because he will always come right back to what God would want, has no ability to exercise the Free Will God gave him, can't think for himself and would be pretty useless as a husband. This may, in fact, be what drove his wife to kick him out! Milquetoast!
I get your point, but you lost points due to perception of slamming
aa
How About Those BEAUTIFUL CARDINALS, up by 3 points, I adore Kurt Warner!!!! happy! ,,,,,nm

Haha...exactly. :O) NM
NM
haha
I laughed so hard when i seen you say "googly eyes" lol.
I always find it hard to watch people that think they're so darn sexy and it's like you have got to be kidding me!
I think the girl that was a backup singer is really good but without being mean it's hard to watch her too because she has no neck!
haha!
k
No, I wish! haha...
Just a lady who comes and cleans once every 2 weeks.
haha -
Does he not give you access to the $?
I would just go and get new tires. That is very dangerous. If you have to set up your own checking account and get your money dd in there or buy your own PO Box.
Apart from the tire issue you need access to $ if you don't have it now.
HAHA
i liked that so much i posted it on my personal blog
HAHA!!! you got that right...
haha!!
Im not embarrassed to answer in my PJ's... but I DO feel like I have to take my bathrobe off (which is what i cozy up in over my PJs in the winter time)...
:)
Haha! I like that, maybe you should tell him!..nm
nm
yep, he's a boy, haha....
and he's starting to hike up that hind leg when he goes, BUT, in the apartment, he only goes when I don't take him out for hours, which was the case, for example, last 2 weeks I had the flu and sciatica pains hit at the same time, I was MISERABLE and could hardly bend over to get the leash on the poor little guy, and getting up...gah...and I was so wore out I would literally lose track of time, so I admit the few accidents he has had lately have been because I haven't taken him out.
I dont use piddle pads anymore. He made it easy for me to get rid of them, he started chewing up unused ones to play with for some reason, so I stopped using them. I only have 1 room in the whole apartment now that has anything to piddle on, newspaper, and that is in the utility room, which is the room he stays in if we are gone a lot during the day so he won't make a mess. He will scratch on the door to the utility room. The other times he goes is just accidents, unless there's a blanket on the floor, he will piddle on a blanket on the floor, or piles of laundry on the floor (like in my son's room), but otherwise he hasn't messed on anything. I do plan to get him neutered, but had to wait for the financing thanks to my crappy old job (which, btw, is why I had the name "goincrazyquick" haha, related to my last job). I've since found a new one and after 3 months of in-house training I'm back at home, so now I can get the puppy back on a schedule, myself on a schedule, and get the puppy scheduled for getting him neutered. :)
My cousin has 3 of her 4 dogs pomeranians, and one is a pom mix she got from a friend who found him. she has no problems in her home with 2 males and 2 females, but she said if he's not truly marking territory indoors, which he isn't because the accidents have only been here in the last 2 weeks where I was sick, or only if there is a blanket on the floor, otherwise no other accidents indoors for months, then he should be ok as far as not marking territory indoors. If the person who I got him from is correct on his age, then he turned 1 year beg. of January. Finally have the money to get him fixed, now just have to remember to get that appointment set! I started working midnights, haha, so my time is all out of whack.
I hope the OP is able to get her pup potty-trained too! :)
OMG! LMBO!! haha
nm
haha.. nope. they don't but they may
during teenage years! LOL. TOO FUNNY!
or maybe I'll just second it (haha) (nm)

Who knows, it's been so long - haha sm
I had a microdermabrasion done at a dermatologist's office - and it was expensive - and then when I realized I was expected to tip I was offended!! I guess 15 or 20% though....lol
who's divorcing who? HaHa - nm

haha! My 5 year old wants to know: Who's driving and what are ALL the
,
haha! I think you hit it right now b/c "It's just money!" is my
husband's fav. term! haha
Yes! Can you see 3 of them? And they are expensive, too. DH HATES it! haha nm
.
what? get in your face? that's why i started with HAHA
i suppose this is the trouble with typing you can't hear my tone. I certainly was not "in your face" and i thought my last paragraph about you never know was not derogatory or rude or anything
im sorry if it came off that way, not intended.
Um, YES and YES?! Haha. Also some of those meds have been found sm
to cause prostate enlargement and I believe prostate cancer.
haha, do you think I could pick up the accent?
or is it instilled in childhood??
haha
and i think i will be driving through there whenever i move back to Nevada!!
haha, my boyfriend was just telling me about this....
Less than 2,000, but the cost of living and such there compared to here, wonder how much it would be if they sold it around here? But, it has no air bags, uses "adhesive" instead of welded on parts, I wonder how great and safe of a car that would really be?
haha, re-read what I typed....
and I realized the part to the OP, the first sentence didn't make sense, I didn't back up far enough, haha. I'm tired, shhhh, lol. I meant to delete the part "I think if you have a health reason" and just start with "I don't think you can..." Hope that makes more sense.
On that note, I'm going to sleep, haha.
HAHA! LOL! OMG! This is hysterical. I laughed at both, but yours made me cry. nm
nm
Haha...too cool. My fave was Jordan. NM
NM
HAHA! See, would never work with us. We are both cheap leaders sm
I don't like him telling me what to do and he hates taking instruction from me, so we sit here in a 25 year old home with nothing getting done because we're too cheap to hire and too stubborn to work together!!!!
Haha!! Some days I wonder!! LOL funny answer - thanks! (nm)

Haha - I thought the same thing, the first time I saw
Who is Lee, and is he/she REALLY "perfect"?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Has anyone here trained (haha!) a cat to stay in backyard?
This is a long shot, but here goes: I adopted a 1-year-old cat from the pound 6 months ago. The original plan was to keep him indoors but a couple of times he got outside; however, he stayed in the backyard. Unfortunately, he trained me to let him out for a couple hours a day and started wandering beyond the yard. For right now, he is indoors only but it is pitiful watching him stare out the windows and meowing. My last cat trained himself to stay in the backyard and never wandered. Does anyone know of any tricks to teach this new guy?
Please do not criticize me for letting him out. I am well aware of all the dangers but I do not live near traffic or dogs other than my own, and he is only out for a short time, comes in when I tap on his food dish. He obviously does not use the neighbors' yard as a toilet--a well-used litter box is a testament to that.
Thanks for any ideas.
a baby man....lol....haha!!! another good point! sm
my self esteem is really pretty good. Just that my heart is sometimes bigger than my head
Haha! I'd have gone out one night and spray-painted
a great big ol' laughing yellow SMILEY-FACE on the pavement at the crash site!
HAHA... YEAH... I can just see our county jails filling up with (sm)
scores of pregnant women who (gasp!) CLOSED THEIR EYES during the *mandatory* video-viewing.
