it's not like they have these kinds of field trips often.......and she is in drama and it's to participate in seeing Broadway plays.  I am sure they are getting a good hotel rate as a group, sharing rooms, etc., and perhaps some meals are included in that alone.

It's expensive in The Big Apple and rather she go with too much than not enough.  Since she is such a good student and this is school related and not really extra-curriculum activity, I think it would be the parent's responsibility to come up with the bulk and have her work part-time or save her holiday $$ upcoming for the trip in the Spring.

She could do extra chores in and around the home now, couldn't she, to earn more $$? 

jes sayin.....and no I don't think you're cheap and I'm certainly not rich.....but this isn't Disney trip, it's Broadway shows and she is in drama.....

I have an 18.5 year old who goes out of state to college.  So what ever partying goes on I don't know about it so I don't worry about it.  I cannot have control over something I don't see. She knows how I feel about underage drinking. 

So my DD wants to to a fraternity party tonight, will be home around 1:30 a.m, has to be at work at 9 a.m.  She is trying to tell us it is not a drinking fraternity.  We were not born yesterday.   The people she would go with are not 21 and she has told us in the past they drink and tell their parents they are at a friends house at a sleep over.  (my daughter tends to reveal too much information that she cannot retract later) I am totally against this knowing up front that there will be drinking and reading too many horror stories. In my state if anyone under 21 is caught drinking they loose their license and so do parents if they supply the house and booze. 

My husband is telling me she is an adult and I feel we can say no since we know all of this upfront.  What would you do in this  situation.  

Thanks 

FINDLAY, Ohio – A student at a fundamentalist Baptist school that forbids dancing, rock music, hand-holding and kissing will be suspended if he takes his girlfriend to her public high school prom, his principal said.

Despite the warning, 17-year-old Tyler Frost, who has never been to a dance before, said he plans to attend Findlay High School's prom Saturday.

Frost, a senior at Heritage Christian School in northwest Ohio, agreed to the school's rules when he signed a statement of cooperation at the beginning of the year, principal Tim England said.

The teen, who is scheduled to receive his diploma May 24, would be suspended from classes and receive an "incomplete" on remaining assignments, England said. Frost also would not be permitted to attend graduation but would get a diploma once he completes final exams. If Frost is involved with alcohol or sex at the prom, he will be expelled, England said.

Frost's stepfather Stephan Johnson said the school's rules should not apply outside the classroom.

"He deserves to wear that cap and gown," Johnson said.

Frost said he thought he had handled the situation properly. Findlay requires students from other schools attending the prom to get a signature from their principal, which Frost did.

"I expected a short lecture about making the right decisions and not doing something stupid," Frost said. "I thought I would get his signature and that would be the end."

England acknowledged signing the form but warned Frost there would be consequences if he attended the dance. England then took the issue to a school committee made up of church members, who decided to threaten Frost with suspension.

"In life, we constantly make decisions whether we are going to please self or please God. (Frost) chose one path, and the school committee chose the other," England said.

The handbook for the 84-student Christian school says rock music "is part of the counterculture which seeks to implant seeds of rebellion in young people's hearts and minds."

England said Frost's family should not be surprised by the school's position.

"For the parents to claim any injustice regarding this issue is at best forgetful and at worst disingenuous," he said. "It is our hope that the student and his parents will abide by the policies they have already agreed to."

The principal at Findlay High School, whose graduates include Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, said he respects, but does not agree with, Heritage Christian School's view of prom.

"I don't see (dancing and rock music) as immoral acts," Craig Kupferberg said.

Sorry about that. . .I'm new to this site. I'll take my questions out to the Company Board. I might get some additional advice there.

I posted on scrapbooking one time and didn't get any response.  I love to scrapbook and I am about to finish up one that is a thank you gift for the family that we stayed with last year on vacation in Colorado. 

I am limited in what I can spend on it so I have to depend on a paper cutter, scissors and I love corner punches.  I think I have seen the machine that you are asking about but I really don't know anything about it. 

The question I posted back quite a while ago is concerning scrapbook programs on the computer.  Do you know anything about them?  I think I would like to use one of those programs but I have not found anyone as of yet who is knowledgeable about them. I was trying to research that one day through Google and found this website. You might find the answer to your question on here: twopeasinabucket.com   This is a scrapbooking website and I found it quite interesting although I didn't have a lot of time to spend looking for the answer to my question.  Good luck!

are finding it hard to make their house payment, car payment or credit card payment?

someone made the comment about giving girls a false sense of security and not getting PAPs and physicals because they got the vaccine.  That was something I hadn't thought about previously. 

I was talking about this with a friend of mine and we got on the subject of DES that was given to prevent miscarriages and preterm labor in the 50s and 60s and the side effects that came from it.  I googled DES and the one website has a copy of an old ad that states "recommended for routine prophylaxis in ALL pregnancies" with a picture of a smiling baby above the statement.  We all know how that turned out!

States have made all kinds of vaccines mandatory for admittance to kindergarten, but there are ways around it, such a religious exemption.  I have another friend whose kids have had NONE of their childhood immunizations.  I'm not saying I agree with anything that drastic, but her kids are in school. 

Anyone who has to go on a public board/forum and brag on and boast about ANYTHING- ( about A MAN, no less *L*).....just makes most posters question the credibility of such posters.  Anyone who is truly happy....has no need to type all this on a public forum....nor to hang out on one....

the hubby *put you on a pedestal* so now you can reach the keyboard....*lol* -

Now really, all the nasty, antagonistic posters, and in this particular thread, should get off their mommy's computers and go outside and play because from my view, it's a spectacularly gorgeous day outside

*laughs*

Frankly, I think the moderator of this board does a very good job considering the many posts on a vast variety of topics, and with numerous personalities posting them. If I or my friend on this board would be doing anything that is unacceptable or inappropriate we would have been told. I am quite sure of that.

Why this person continues to make an issue of our conversations about the beauty of animals and the love we share for them and our animals is totally beyond the reach of what I can understand. Frankly, the last post two days after the first insult is an indication to me that it is ongoing. If anyone needs to be told, it is the one who won't leave us or the matter alone. We have done absolutely nothing wrong and have said absolutely nothing inappropriate. I am tired of the issue. It was ridiculous two days ago. No one is forced to participate in this board or made to continue to read what is supposed to be so boring and meaningless. What is meaningless is this constat back and forth over something that is not her business.

I am looking for a dessert recipe that will hold up in traveling.   I am driving to a graduation party two hours away.  I live in New England and right now it is super hot.  I can put it on ice.  I do not know what to bring.  This person is constantly bringing something to our house when she comes.  A plant, a bottle of wine, a candle etc.  The party is being catered (in their backyard) so I am thinking more on the way of  a dessert. Any suggestions?

or respond.....it's a board where people come to discuss anything but MT work/MT business, religion, or politics....(there are other boards here for those things).

try to have a better day today......

In reference to your thoughts about the Ouija board, I just want to share a story.  I had changed my lifestyle, didn't party anymore after being saved.  I happened to go out with friends for a close friend's birthday - drinking.  Went back to a friend's house, and she pulls out a cardboard and starts to make a oiuja board.  I refused to participate.  The 3 of them did, at which time I started praying silently, rebuking anything not of Jesus, etc, etc, etc.  Well, she would try and try to make the thing move and work.  It would not.  She was progressively getting more and more frustrated.  She looks at me and growls, "Are you praying?  You better stop!"  I said no.  Something made me do it, but I put my hand over the little deal that is supposed to move - my goodness, I felt a power under that thing, like a vibration.  You know what it did - it shot off the board away from me.  I did it again and it did the same thing.  Those were the only times the thing moved!  After the other 2 saw that, they said "oh, bleep, I'm not messing with that."  I told them, it's not me, it's God and his power.  Anything not of God has to flee!  So moral of story is, believe what you've heard, that the ouija board invites spirits and worlds that you don't want to mess with! 

By the way, years, years ago before this incident, I was mixed up with drugs and alcohol.  One morning after doing cocaine, I had a paralyzing nightmare too - after that, I too kept having the recurring dream, where I would be paralyzed with fear "in my dream," it was like I was trying to hard to wake myself up and I just couldn't.  Anyway, that first one, when this happened, I never could fall into deep REM sleep - because of the drug - I opened my eyes from that paralyzing nightmare and I really was awake, mind you, and saw a figure that looked like satan that covered the entire doorway.  I guess it was what I imagined what satan would look like subconsciouly - shiny, blackish red raw muscle.  I was paralyzed with fear and could not move.  I believe I really did see it and was not a hallucination.  I was actually awake because I picked up the phone and called my boyfriend and he said, get in the car and come over, and I said I couldn't because I couldn't move.  I always felt it was God's way of allowing this to set me straight - you know, like scared straight.  Because eventually soon afterward, I did change my lifestyle.
