carrying case, etc. all at one place. Thanks
Difficult based on taste, easy based on ethics.
I was a vegetarian for 10 years, then a vegan for about 5 before meeting my husband, i.e. Mr. Barbecue. He thinks he will die of starvation if he doesn't have some form of animal flesh on his plate at least twice daily. I do eat meat minimally now but not without guilt about the way the animal was raised and slaughtered. I don't believe meat is healthy either, esp. because of the hormones, antibiotics and unnatural feed commercial livestock receives. I have free-range chickens and use their eggs, and I buy raw milk from a local small farmer whose cows graze freely on organic grass. I am working my way back to a meat-free diet in spite of my DH. Can't wait to shed the 20 pounds of animal-fat blubber I've accumulated and get my cholesterol level back down to where it used to be! You just have to give peas a chance.
Kodak easyshare questions. I have just bought a Kodak easyshare and it does lose a few minutes of
time it seems on its internal clock. Anyone else have an easyshare and does it keep exact time for you.
rosie and donald
Rosie is not on her way out. She has brought over a million viewers to THE VIEW. Everytime she opens her mouth, it's money for the network and for Barbara Walters, who owns the show.
Donald is a publicity hound. He will do and say anything to get his mug on camera.
I agree with Rosie about Donald's hypocrisy. She has been with the same woman for years and they are raising 4 kids - TOGETHER under the same roof. He is on his 3rd or 4th always-younger wife and his kids have been raised by their mothers. Who knows more about commitment?
Donald should have just been happy to get the free publicity from Rosie's little tirade about him and the Miss USA (who should have had the title taken away). He got really nasty and personal and just plain ugly with his name calling. rosie and donald
After Trump excused the beauty pageant girl who had been under-age drinking and allowed her to keep her crown (miss usa I think?), Rosie shot back sarcastically how he (Trump) has no right to be the moral compass for unde 21 year olds as he cheated on his first two wives and now has a trophy wife much younger, etc etc. Trump fired back something about Rosie being a fat-ass and that he was going to sue her. I think her remarks were right on the money and his reply was pretty trashy. He is becoming a bit of a joke IMO with that hair and his mistresses and yet another trophy wife. I think his ego has gotten out of control.

Kodak EasyShare
My KES has a view finder and an LCD screen...it's a C340...guess it's changed since I got mine last year. Check around, you may be able to find an older one with a view finder...good luck!
It is a Kodak Easyshare. nm

Have you considered a Kodak? sm
I just bought a Z712 IS, it is 7.1 megapixels, with 12X optical. It is really nice. I just upgraded from another Kodak with 4 MP and 10X optical that I've used over the last 4 years, taken thousands of pictures (daughter's high school years and marching band - some pictures even made it into the yearbook). So, was really excited about getting one with 7.1 megapixels, and 12x optical. Tried a few shots last night and they were great. Anyway, they have them on e-bay. We've been really happy. It is considered refurbished, but was never used before. Not a problem with our old camera.
I bought everything I need for my Kodak EasyShare....sm
at Wal-Mart. Target & Walgreens also carries everything you need.
Same here, I only liked Carolyn and the old guy...never liked Donald Trump
and certainly don't want to watch three Trumps! Gag. That did it for me. Looks like the Donald made another bad business move! I also thought he acted like a child with the whole Rosie thing, even topping her, which is pretty bad. How old is he? Geez.
Donald Trump and all his family....

vegetarian. Daffy or Donald?

Donald Trump - So I could learn from him
how to build an empire and be successful like he is. Yes I know he is going through bankruptcy and other stuff, but he always seems to bounce back and I'd like to learn from him - without being fired that is :-)
well with 50% vote fan-based,
lots can happen. But its still a great show with all the interest angles. I never did think she was the best talent myself. but what stunned me was the 'warmth' between her and her partner. It was really surprising to see such an open demonstration of affection in that setting...
Based on that dreadful hula alone
I thought Sanjaya would get the boot. That was just weird. Too bad we can't vote for the one we want off. Let's get organized here people - is everybody voting? Next week let's dial 'til we drop. Don't give up, don't be disheartened. We can do this.
Should we destroy a whole breed based ...sm
on what a few do wrong? Look at the Dalmation attacks, Alaskan Malamutes, Pomeranians, etc. Should we destroy these breeds too?
Just bought a Kodak digital camera without optical viewer and find the LCD screen is very difficult
to see what you are taking in bright sunlight. I just read on the internet this happens with many cameras. Any suggestions for this. I dont want to spend tons of money on a camera because I dont use them that often but I am not very happy with this. I tried to get a camera with the optical viewer but almost none of them except the really high end had this. A lot of people complain about this LCD washout. Just wondered if there is any fix for this without getting another camera. This is a Kodak Easyshare. Great in cloudy weather or inside but the sun is another story. Another good faith based one is Thin Within
you can Google Thin Within on the web also. It focuses on how you feel about yourself. After going through it for the first time I was able to separate ME and how I felt about ME from how I felt about the extra pounds I carry.
Keep all Christianity discussions and debates on the Christianity board. I cannot move them there so they are deleted from other boards if they appear.
This could not be worse of any idea. People need to worry about their own bodies, not what other women do! This is supposed to be the land of the free, but people are trying to turn it into the "the land of the free as long as you agree with me." It's a medical procedure and no one else's business period! For some women, it's a hard enough decision to make without having other people tell them how they should do it!
If you do not believe in abortion...great, don't have one, but mind your own business and leave other people alone that need/want to have one! Again, it's none of your business what someone else does.
I don't have any children and don't want any. While I always use birth control, that's not 100%, and if it failed, I certainly would get an abortion without hesitation. I much rather have women get abortions than bring a child into the world that they don't want and mistreat or that they can't pay for and stick ME with paying for it! There are enough leaches out there having kid after kid they can't pay for, and we tax payers are footing the bill. Enough is enough already!
How about all you people that but your nose into other people's business and don't want these women to have abortions pay my share of taxes too since you don't mind paying for all of these unwanted children!
I had a friend whose father got her a diamond ring. It was a heart made out of diamonds, from Daddy to daughter. She treasured that. It was her first "real" jewelry as far as something with precious stones, and it meant a lot that it was from her Dad. If you're a Christian family, as this family was, it could also have the same meaning it had for this family, which was basically a promise from the father to be there for his daughter and a promise from the daughter to remain sexually pure. I don't remember exactly how they did this, I know they took her out to dinner just the mom and the dad and the Sweet Sixteen-er, but she talked about it for years.
I just remember thinking my dad would NEVER have done something so sweet. But I digress.
My son's idea
He wants to make fry bread and call it Native American fry bread so that it would be an N food.
Still searching for something fun with a Thanksgiving theme.
Another idea...
We have 3 golden retrievers, 2 of which are female that we bred. We used to use (dogs are now fixed) little girls underwear and cut a hole for their tail. We then used regular panty liners inside those. It was much cheaper and actually worked better than the things you buy at the pet stores. Both dogs got used to them and usually managed to keep them on most of the time. My human daughters also got a kick out of picking out the underwear..lol.
Word of warning though...don't ever keep her outside when she is in heat if you don't want puppies. We had a Rotweiller go through 2 fences and and a shed door to get to our female.
Good luck!
Here's an idea......sm
My husband cannot stand light when sleeping....it all started really in collge when he would put a pillow over his face to block out roommates being up, etc. After watching him put a pillow over his eyes for 20 years, I finally made him get an eye mask...which he now has been wearing for a number of years and likes it a lot. They are soft, doesn't bother him to wear, and now I can read with the light on and not watch him nearly smother himself with a pillow!!
I like this idea...
Just a thin board I can prop on the sill and attach a hook at the top to keep it flush (so no dreaded light comes through). Plus I can just keep it under the curtain and no need to attach fabric since the curtain is dark enough (of course) not to show through.
And you're welcome with yours. That's why I decided to ask you guys - more people, more ideas.
An idea:-)
Can he go on line and track his banking that way so he doesn't have that problem again? I check my account every day, especially before and after going to the store for anything, to see where I am plus use Quicken software to see my budget for the weeks ahead. That way he will always know what's in there, what was taken out, and keep better track of it. He can add in his Quicken or MS Money on what day his cable company takes their money out for every month and will see how much that leaves him that week. That's terrible how much money he lost on that. Sorry to hear that!
My DH has no idea how I can even do it - sm
he knows it is hard, though he does complain I don't make enough, but that is another issue (I goof off too much--procrastinating). Sit your husband down, put headphones on him and tell him, okay, so you do it and let me know how you do. He will shut up really fast!
Here's an idea. Why not something other than a K then!
I just always hated that, all names with the same letter or that rhyme. Ugh.
It's an idea, but...
That would be punishing the kid for the dad's behavior.
idea
Hey Mammamt,
I love your idea and the way you were able to express the joy of your son coming into your lives....I've been planting trees for siimlar reasons for years. You're a loving and compassionate person.

Had an idea
Kids were wanting to go to Blockbuster which got me started thinking. Obviously cannot give movies or movie cards but how about movie CANDY and popcorn (crunch and munch or cracker jack or those 3-flavors-in-a-tin so popular this time of year?)!! And I thought about hitting the dollar store - I get stuff for my kids there - the little simple games, notepads and pencils/pens... You guys have gotten me inspired. THANK!
You know, that's not such a bad idea.
business, and they do all right in regards to pay. I also have a friend that just does local (rich) or what I call (rich) people with big homes, and she gets to use their vacation homes for nothing. She does a great job and is a nice person. Word of mouth has been her way of getting new clients.
I am in agreement with the "in front of the computer" thing, but I need a few more years with the kids. However, I have thought of working part-time in a local healthcare facility and doing this part-time again from home when my kids are just a tad older. I'm almost there though.
Does anyone have any idea what happens
when you end up pregnant and are in-between insurances/jobs?? If you don't go to the doctor with your existing insurance that is running out in a month, will your new insurance pick you up, or better yet be obligated to pick you up, when it goes into effect, after you are 3 MO preg?? Curious, and surprised. We make too much $$ to go on any kind of state plan, and didn't know if any new insurance when a person is already 3 mo preg would consider it "preexisting." Any input appreciated!!!! Idea
If you are a walker or runner, you could completely fix this dog's boredom by making friends with the people and get permission to walk their dog. You could offer to do it for a fee if you think they have more $ than time. Or if you need an excuse so they won't feel like you are criticizing them, you could say it would make you feel safer to have a dog with you.
If you are not a walker, consider the huge benefits to your back and legs. It could make a huge positive impact on your health, too.
If the dog is a puller, the quickest fix I've found is a prong collar. Maybe they have one.
just trying to get a better idea
multiple marriages possibly? i THINK you mentioned you worked 3-4 jobs at a time that sort of thing, maybe he feels abandoned? when was the last time you talked to him? does he have contact with his father?
i realize they are adults but even adults have hurts that sometimes stem from their childhoods.
i know my mother, though in the same home, was totally absent emotionally. she worked several jobs at a time too and i suppose i still have some resentment about that... never having her to talk to. i had the materialistic things i needed but not the motherly love i needed. i try very hard to be there for my children... suppose that would be part of the reason i work from home...
i have a relationship with my mother and i will always love her but i will admit there are times when i'm short with her. sometimes i think she has selective memory as far as the facts of my childhood. i believe she thinks everything was perfect and she was the best. lol.
she has never apologized about ANYTHING..... suppose that would be part of her denial. just wondered if things may be similar between you and your children.
you may very well just have ungrateful children or maybe they have hurts that need healed. :)
i hope you made amends with your son. very sad to me.
I do not know if he is, still, have no idea
A mother does not deserve abuse from him or from anyone else. I do not have in my own home. I went to his home to give him a gold watch my father wanted him to have, a family Bible and had several watches I did not want and offered him those. I basically was ambushed and could not believe his anger. This was in 2005. I do not know if he is still on this, did not ask them, have not asked since. He is a grown man. He has a wife and grown children now. I do not tell him what to do nor do I try to put myself in their lives. If I were ashamed of my actions, I have no problem saying I was wrong. I hope for his family's sake he is off drugs. I talk with his wife occasionally - she called recently to say sorry for the loss of my longtime pet.
Just an idea....sm
Little league fund raiser...candy bars $1.00 ...What we did was stand inside the vestibule to the bank on Saturday morning...Ya know they're going in to get money and weren't gonna pass up 2 boys with mitts filled with candy and deny a contribuion to the home team.
Now, if we were in an office setting we'd all be selling each other wrapping paper, candles, candy or cookies on the behalf of our daughters or sons on a regular basis, or hit up your family and friends.
Who in their right mind would let their daughter or son walk up to a stranger's door in this day and age?
The good ol' days of 50 cent cookies (that I sold as well door-to-door), magazine sales, and the black and white TV are long gone.

Idea
"I do not think I would be able to get anyone for what I pay her . . . " Maybe she wouldn't have to steal if you paid her a decent wage, and why do you need a housekeeper if it is just you and hubs?
an idea that may help....
I am not sure if you can do this feasibly, but if you have been communicating with this person, the police can track his computer ID number and find out where he is. If you have any kind of conversation in an email, IM, or even through the site, they can track his computer.
Another suggestion may be to report this to craiglist, as this is where you found him and they will have info on him to give to the authorities.
Gma and Gpa had a three bedroom home and I had two kids. I talked it over with Gma and we moved in with her temporarily. Her wishes were the same. She wanted to die in her home, her bed.
She was still fairly active but she did have some significant health issues and memory issues. Her safety was a big concern.
The kids weren't too thrilled at first but it was probably the best 2 years of their childhood. Gma always had a story or something to talk about and we all really re-connected.
After Gma passed, we moved back into our home. We did have an occasional home weekend when my aunt was in town to visit. That way they could have a more personal visit and we had a little time to ourselves too.
It worked out well for us. Might not be the same for everyone but I sure was glad we could give her what she wanted.
I have no idea.
I just went to elementary school with the girl and then she moved so I have no idea where she went from there. As far as I knew she was not under any treatment or anything. Most of the other kids just thought she was "weird." Aside from that I have only transcribed one report for such (several years ago) and it did not go into much detail. Sorry I do not have any more information for you.
I had no idea
xxxx
I have no idea whether the mom
had any issues with the fact that she was being deployed. There was nothing mentioned in the social history about caregiver issues, psychosocial stressors, etc. So, I'm not saying she wanted to stay and was denied. I guess I was just questioning what the maternity policy is in the service dept. I guess I just thought when you had a baby in the military, you were given the option of being discharged or being stationed in the USA. Since your hubs is in the Air Force (bless him by the way), could you tell me what the maternity policy is for female officers? Are they only allotted 6 or 12 weeks (for a healthy newborn delivery)? Can they request to be stationed in the USA for a period of time after that?
I have kids, and I just can't imagine being separated from them at such a young age. Of course, any age would be difficult, but an infant is so dependent on her mom. Wow - what an eye opener and definitely some food for thought today.
another idea
Actually according to top scientists the earth IS in a cooling age right now. He and other scientiest (many) say we're on our way to an ice age.
Anyway...I have another recipe....So so simple and so good.
1 reg size package of cream cheese and one can of chile (with or without beans - your choice).
Mix them and heat til hot and bubbly. MMMMMMMMMMM I can eat the whole thing by myself.
