Your Mum plant....

...is that like code for pubes?  'cause I totally can interpret the flag pole to mean whang, but the whoo-haw doesn't look nothing like a chrystanthemum....



Seriously though...if the dude has any heart problems, don't buy it.


Plant wash
I run mine through a short cycle in the top rack of the dishwasher.
You know, that's what the doc said! He told me to plant a garden or
pick weeds! Amazing. I remember one time recently when I was really PMDDing I wanted to rip my family's head off (each member one by one) but sat outside on the step, in the dark and heard the leaves move in the breeze. I sat out there for I don't know how long and I contained myself and felt more peaceful. It was not weed picking (it was at night), bust just being outside of the house in the cool air listening to the nothing of nature really helped.
I do think with this job I feel guilty to leave the house. Or maybe if I do leave I will never come back, LOL. I did get a red schwinn for Christmas from my husband (a hint to get out of the house I guess), and every day I think of a reason not to get out there. We are so lucky to work at home, I wonder why I dont just do it?
Thanks for all of your suggestions everybody. I am going to make a list of all these things and together I bet I will feel much better. I do already just for your helping me here. Thank you so much! :)
Help with aloe plant I inherited, not by choice!! sm

I inherited an aloe plant - suckered into taking it is more like it.  What kind of light does it want/need.  Does it get watered as I do the cactus or more often since I assume it is a succulent.  It has 12-inch long leaves or whatever they are that are starting to wilt down instead of standing up.  I live in northern MN so don't have real hot sun.  Right now it is in a south window and gets direct sunlight about 1-1/2 hours per day. 


Any plant medics out there?  Appreciate your help.

Refinish plant vinyl floors....
It has been six years since we put in plank vinyl (wood look) floors and they no longer shine like they use to.  Any recommendations on what to use and can you use anything?  Thanks
how about a nice floral plant for outdoors?
When we bought our first house, we needed a lot of landscaping done.  My gram bought us an outdoor trash can.  Those things are kind of pricy and new homeowners don't always have a lot of extra cash.  Plus, if she lived in an apartment, she probably doesn't have one.  Of course, if you opt with that, I would send her a gift card from Wal-Mart with a note attached as to the purpose.  I love getting gift cards.  Add a personal family photo if you don't just want to give the gift card or a nice candle.
Yes, but abortion would be only taking the budding tomatoe, not the whole plant.

FDA Warns Procter and Gamble of problems at Olay plant

WASHINGTON, May 5 (Reuters) - U.S. regulators found manufacturing problems at a Procter & Gamble Co (PG.N) plant in Puerto Rico that makes both cosmetics and over-the-counter drugs, a letter released on Tuesday said.


The manufacture and processing of over-the-counter drugs at the Olay LLC plant did not meet federal standards, the Food and Drug Administration said in an April 24 letter. Also, several cosmetic products "have been prepared, packed or held under insanitary conditions," the FDA said.


The drugs and cosmetics were made under conditions "whereby they may have become contaminated with filth, or whereby they may have been rendered injurious to health," the FDA said.


A Procter & Gamble representative could not immediately be reached for comment.


The FDA letter was posted on the agency's website at the link below:


That little girl

For those of us who lived through the "British Invasion", or even if you didn't but saw replays of some of the groups singing, you would remember that the teen girls would scream and cry.  Cry.  Yes.  So when I saw that pitiful-looking little girl, I thought she was planted there sort of as a flashback to the British Invasion period.  If that was the reason, it did not work out well.  They should have had a group of them doing that.  As it was, it just made her look like she desperately needs a psychiatrist. 


but did you notice how enthralled she was with Sanjaya?  that's why I think it is millions of little girls that age voting for him.


Just my thoughts.  My other thought is that AI seems to have run its course. 


Go girl!
Go get 'em!!  You sound like you've got a good plan.  I wish you the very best of luck! 
Girl, let me tell you...sm
I know...what's up with her snotty attitude lately? And running for senator, puhleeze! She is so ugly to everyone, including Victor...she best watch it or he'll kick her off her high horse...
you go girl!
nm
You go girl...
Way to go! You are a force to be reckoned with...Congratulations on your victory!  Here's to ya... !(I'm in the ATL area also...hey neighbor!)
I'm with you girl...
My DH loves camping...I told him when he buys a luxury RV, then I'll go~~~maybe~~~ I'm more along the lines of a resort in Key West, now that's a vacation....and ABSOLUTELY NO WORKING...
Me too!...This girl does not...
sleep in an RV, tin can trailer or a tent, let alone on the ground! Hotels all the way for me...don't mind hiking, backpacking, etc...just give me a good room at the end of the day!
I could have been that little girl.
My mom had mental health issues, but back in the 1960s, no one talked about such things. Our house was a horrible mess, and I knew it. I had dirty clothes which were usually old hand-me downs from a cousin. It was really awful growing up. Right up until I was about 13 or so, I used to beg my mother to do "normal" things, like let me have friends over. It was always a disaster. I just didn't understand that she wasn't capable of being like other moms. Eventually, I stopped having friends over, learned to do my own laundry, and worked like crazy in our house to clean and cook. It was a small town, and everyone knew that I had taken on the role of woman-of-the-house. My friends' mothers would invite me over to give me a break and let me be a kid. I eventually stopped even trying to have them at my house. It was torture to even try.

What I'm saying is, let your daughter go to the party. As someone mentioned, you can offer to help. It's very likely that the little girl is painfully aware that her home life is different from her friends. It's not her fault that she lives the way she does. If she's anything like I was, more than anything, she needs friends and to have some normalcy in her life.
that little girl...
I feel for you and what you went through. I have a friend (almost 39 years) who was that girl and my mother encouraged our friendship even though I had doubts - peer pressure. Her mother had mental problems as did her step-father but what a great family. I was in situations and at the age of around 9 I knew it was not "normal" - don't get things in the mind..nothing going on in the family that was perverted!! It was just how they lived but they were such a loving family and I am proud to call Neva my friend as she has been for almost 40 years. I thank my mother that she never judged and still does not (I can be a pain in the ass) and found such a wonderful friend that will be my friend until the day I die. So mom's out there..there may be great friendships that will last for life - don't worry so about things unless need be!!!
Thanks! I owe you, girl!
I'm so proud to show off my new boy.


You go girl!
Man do I hate that phrase but guess it says it in this case.

Why do people always assume we have to be indebted to our parents/children for the rest of our lives. As we get older this is the time we are suppose to take care of ourselves, and for once in our lives think about ourselves. We raised our children, watched them grow from children into adults, put them through school, rooted (sp?) for them at their sports games, supported their ups and downs, watched them proudly at their wedding, or supported them if they decided to be with another person and not marry. We did everything for them. Now when we are at the age of retirement and want to take time for ourselves and think about ourselves for a change we are called selfish and are supposed to feel guilty?????? Give me a break! So who is going to take care of us when we need it? Retirement is the age of "me". That's not a selfish wish, it's what happens in life. Yes we are here to support our kids (emotionally - who are no longer kids), and financially if we can if they need it or if we want to slip them a $20 in their pocket from time to time for no reason, but I'm with the above poster. It's my golden years its now time for me! Life is about growing, knowing who we are, learning about ourselves. Society forces us to follow the bandwagon meaning...your born, you go to school, you graduate and get a job, you get married, have kids, watch your kids grow, retire and take time for yourself. Not once have I ever seen anything talking about getting to know oneselves before going and getting married to another. I do not believe we are born in life just to always take care of other people. We've given enough of ourselves to others. It's now time for me.
You go girl!
I agree with you 100%. Sterotypal stuff doesn't fly well with me either. I am 58 and I also listen to loud rock music, dance when I am cleaning, and read Elle and other more youthful magazines (saying that because they don't usually address my age group!). I say if you want to do it, do it! Feel better yet??
Your little girl - sm
I can't blame you about the bill. That was unconscionable to be so petty about the money. They're lucky their dog wasn't put down and they should know it.

About your daughter - I wouldn't dismiss out of hand getting her a dog. Not right away, of course, but after some time has passed. Let me explain.

I saw my sister attacked by a dog when I was five, and although I wasn't hurt myself, I was terrified for years and years of dogs, to the point where I wouldn't take a walk or ride my bike in an unknown neighborhood. It wasn't until after I was an adult and married and my husband talked me into getting a puppy that I lost my fear of dogs. Taking care of a dog from puppyhood can be the "magic cure" for your daughter's fear as she finds out that most dogs are friendly and loveable.

This also worked for our son, who was nine when we got our first puppy. He was so scared that he actually spent the afternoon in the garage rather than come into the house with Sam (who incidentally was a three month old golden retriever!). Now he owns his own dog and is considering going into veterinary medicine.

Good luck to you and your family. And I pray the owners of the dog that attacked your daughter have an "attack" of conscience and do the right thing by your family.
LOL you go girl!

Girl,
don't go away mad . . .
You GO Girl
Agree 100% with everything you say & stand for. Send me an e-mail & if you have PayPal I will send you some money for your rescue animals (I have 2 myself) right now.

Don't let ANYONE tell you animals are less important to the universe than children; NFW.
You GO, Girl!
I have been thinking about it a lot lately myself. It is very difficult. I've "quit" a couple of times myself, yet here I am, a smoker still.

I have been meaning to ask, are those of you on this board who were discussing group quitting following through? How's it going? Do you keep in touch/support each other through e-mails? Just curious because I haven't seen any discussion about it since the new year began and wishing you all good luck and success, and same for you XanaX!

(Kicking myself for not joining in with you guys!)
You go girl!!!!

Congrats and have fun!!!


WOOHOO...you go girl (OP)...

She was the white girl with the
kind of "punk" look.  Dark hair, large red highlight in front. 
boys or girl
I have 2 of each (yes 4 in all) and I would defitenly say boys right now. My kids are still young so may be my mind will change with age!
I'm no young girl...
I'm a lot older and I think Blake's adorable. To each is own. And by the way, he's as tall as my husband, who by the WA is no creep. LOL.
Way cool; you go girl! : )

Amen girl!

We are NOT all hillbillies, either! 


Is that the one where the girl goes to the inner city...
to live with her dad after her mom dies and she gets involved with the black student and she auditions for Julliard? 
amen, girl!
I'm in Fort Worth - where are you??
I think the 14-year-old girl from
Maryland is just wonderful. Such poise, beauty and a great voice. I also like the cowboy with the rope routine!
she's not a girl anymore though
She's 21 and sadly makes her own decisions. She's too addled to know enough to hire someone to watch over her. Coke gives you a feeling of invincibility. Mom's a mess and so is Dad. She was so darn cute in the Parent Trap too.
OMG, maybe you are that girl that punched me. LOL nm

Well, this girl continued to
do drugs and never got any treatment. I'm sure that has something to do with it killing her! I'm sure she drank alcohol also and who knows what drugs, how often, etc.
You go girl on the laundry....sm
both of our kids know to not even breathe to us that they have dirty clothes as they know how to use the washing machine & dryer and how to use them. It's up to them to do their laundry and clean their bathroom, not me!

OP only said "daughter", who said it was a little girl?
x
I don't know how she couldn't unless the girl
is mentally retarded or otherwise impaired. They say the girl showed no motion whatsoever on the videotape during the attack. No crying, no screaming. Nothing. You have to know that would change a child's personality to have something like happen to her. If my child was suddenly emotionally changed I would definitely seek counseling for her.

and she is SEVEN now for goodness sake ...you would think it would come out by now.
Hayseed, you go girl!
Your forthright honestly and ability to express yourself so naturally, and command the reader's attention is certainly to be admired. Not many people possess that gift. I appreciate your being yourself on this board, and now I look forward to your posts. You are refreshing and appreciated!! Never stop posting!
Daughter is 34, one little girl...
...self-employed at home.
Smart girl
You are right on track. Right now don't worry about divorce or not. Take advantage of NOW while you can and get to school. Medical transcription has no where to go now. There is no bright future for it where you can "advance your career." I too am in a marriage I would leave if I could, but I want to be smart about it and get that education first.
Guy/Girl gifts
We have this every year with one side of family.  Last year I bought the girl gift that everyone was wanting!!  JCPenney was having a sale of the hair care products and I bought Biolage brand of shampoo, conditioner, hairspray, etc.... it was buy 2 get 1 free.  So they got 6 things for less than $40.  Guys we have done golf course passes, movie tickets, sports stuff and restaurant gift cards.
My little girl is never getting out of the house!...sm

I have a 13 yr daughter, 14 and 16 yr boys.  I'm terrified to let her out of the house.  Already she goes to the movies with girlfriends and skating and things but I'm dreading her becoming 16.  For 2 reasons.  The main reason is that I remember myself at 16 and in no way, shape or form do I want her doing ANYTHING I did then!  I'm going to probably have to be on some major Xanax or something! lol.  I know she's a good girl and everything but so was I....or so everyone thought.  The number 2 reason is because of all the freaks that are out there these days.  Yeah they were there when I was growing up but now a days you can't turn on the tv, read the newspaper, open a magazine or anything without hearing about some young girl being kidnapped, raped, murdered, etc...It freakin terrifies me to death! 


On the other hand, I have some relief because her older brother is very protective and he watches her like a hawk.  It's kind of funny in a way, cuz he'll even tell her she has to go change if she's wearing shorts or skirt that are too short and such.  Boys are afraid to go out with her because of him!  lol.  He's not a bully.  He just won't take anyone hurting his little sister. His freinds are even protective of her.   Not too mention her dad.  He's a big boy with a loud mouth and her friends are afraid of him.  He's not mean or anything.  He just lets them know from the git go not to be messin with her!  And she has a step-dad who's protective too.    Poor thing.  She's never going to get married! 


Anyways, back to the curfew (sorry I got off the subject! lol).  As of right now, her curfew at 16 is going to be 11 pm with exceptions depending on the situation.  Things like school dances, football games, etc. structured events, she'll have to come home as soon as they are over.  But things like going out with freinds just for the heck of it.....11 pm.  Unless, of course, her brother is with her!  It's just that at that age is when things start, drinking, sex, smoking, etc.  You can say they won't, you raised them right, and all that but....there's just so much temptation and curiosity and peer pressure. And I partied with all types of kids at that age.  The popular kids, nerds, stoners, jocks, you name it.  They all partied. (some of the best parties were at the homes of kids from the catholic school!) I'm not saying that I don't/won't trust her.....cuz I do but....I don't know....I just know how it is and I worry.


Glitter girl here . . .
Honestly, if I had it my way, the whole world would be covered with glitter! Love the stuff!! I'm too old to wear it heavily, but when I go out and have had a facial, yeah, I put a little on my skin, nothing outrageous, but just brightening. Love the stuff! I even put it on my cats (nontoxic stuff) sometimes to have fun!! Haha!
a girl can dream.. ;)

call girl
My guess is she'll get offers from Playboy and other mags like that, but I doubt it'll help her singing career. Maybe she'll write a tell-all book and make a small fortune.
