I am more than lucky, mine is gourmet
cook and can hardly find anything out that even starts to compare with his. He tells me I can do, yeh, right, and be embarrased. I don’t think so. He knows what herbs and spices to mix with what foods and always such a treat!

First 800,000 supposed to be deposited
My DH's SSN ends in 03, so I'm hoping we'll get ours today. Nothing yet. We did do direct deposit for our tax refund too.
thanks, it's scheduled to be deposited tomorrow
the only thing that worries me is this little statement:
You should receive a notice showing the amount of your payment. Please hold on to it because you will need it when you prepare your 2008 tax return.
Oh honey...go take a pill and have a stiff drink too...
some kids are just plain bratty and mean, bios and steps, no matter what the age. Many kids know how to manipulate the situation to their advantage, especially kids from divorce. Some of us are adult enough to see through it and make others aware. Nothing wrong with kids coming first, however, parents need to know when to reign little Tommy or Susie in and stop catering to them all the time.
You're lucky (or he's lucky) the parents care
I have 2 kids just down at the end of the block from me and their parents don't give a rat's behind what they're doing. They're real smart alecks - ages 10 and 12 (?), both in elementary school. Apparently, they're quite the bullies at school, too. They like to mouth to any adults when they whiz by on their bikes. Is it wrong that I'd love to take my kids' BB guns and shoot their tires out when they're doing this?
Their mom doesn't care. When we first moved into town this past fall (short-term thing while we're building in the country), I felt sorry for them. They put on a good act. After a few weeks of them coming to our house and pretending to want to play with the boys, we soon realized they were freeloaders -- wanted to eat everything in my fridge (without even asking first) and then wanted to play our computers or video games (without my kids). I put the klinks on that real fast. After that, they started treating my kids like crap. I told my boys as long as they didn't do anything physical to just ignore them because they didn't care if they got in trouble and neither did their parents. Their mom even had the balls to come looking for them 1 night after they didn't go home. It was 9 o'clock at night and it got dark then around 7. I couldn't believe it.
Just a few weeks ago, the 2 perps beat another kid with a baseball bat at the ballfield. The cops were at their house quite a bit, but I see they're back out on their bikes again wreaking havoc. I can't wait till we move back out to the country!
My diabetic FIL ends up in the
hospital all the time for cellulitis in his leg where a vein was harvested. He always needs IV drugs for that. One time my in-laws were on the road. They couldn't even make it home. They had to stop at midpoint in their 4-hour drive and have him admitted. He almost died. Thank goodness my MIL is a nurse and can recognize the signs early enough. He was getting septic.
anything that ends in TION sm
Which is not good because I put commonly misspelled words into my Expander but do you realize how many words end in TION????
but I know what you mean by putting off the hotkey thing. I have several words that fit that description... all variations (btw I just typed variatinos) of anything that starts with chole... kind of a mental block or something...
Go in now before it ends up costing you more . ..
Talk to your hospital to see if they accept a payment plan. I didn't have to pay anything up front for my delivery, so I would think you should be able to wait and make payments. Better to go in now versus continue to be in pain.
Good luck.
My daughter got to see too ends of the spectrum
One of her friends got very little since her parents are divorced and there isn't much money on either side. My friends across the street probably spent (between 3 kids) $5,000 (and their credit cards are all maxed out). They got a Wii(which I actually love and am thinking about saving up money for for the family), instruments for each child and quite a few other gifts. My daughter was the in between. She did get an MP3 player, but not super expensive (I got one too) and not too much else that would be considered expensive, some DVD's and CD's. She wanted a cell phone (her 7 year old cousin actually got a camera phone!), but we told her no because she just wanted it to talk to her friends and text. She does have a laptop, but that's because her cousin gave me one that she had and didn't need any more. All in all between our two daughters we probably spent about $200-$300 each.
making ends meet
I agree if you need money to support your family you should not be going to school right now...and if your full time job is not cutting it then get a couple part time jobs. i work 3 jobs now; 1 FT and 2 PT and have so much work now its unbelievable. I will never go back to working for just one service. You never know when things are going to be slow. If your husband is not getting enough on disability then he needs to look for something else too...there must be something he can do unless he is totally disabled.
Just about everything ends up on YouTube eventually.
The news is important. I recall I did not have a T.V. signal during 9/11 and it was 9:50 AM PST by the time I realized what had happened. I felt I had been sailing through the day when I should have been feeling dispair, and that was strange.
During a break, on 9/11, I opened up AOL and two a pic of the Twin Towers with smoke pouring out of their sides, just a small pic and I nearly did not read it.
Yep, it starts in kindergarten and ends at MT Stars
"This is the song that never ends...."sm
and when you hear someone sing it you can't get it out of your mind for hours!
Ours attend local college PT and still live at home. Hard to make ends meet "out there" on

You are so very lucky!

You are lucky! sm
I think you are so lucky to get these "signs" that your loved ones are still around you. I wish I could have similar experiences. I love Lisa Williams' show. Sylvia Browne can be a bit harsh but she's a real character. I live in Upstate NY and wish I could still get John Edwards' show.
How lucky!
That would be nice!! It would be nice just be able to take time off when you are behind on everything like housework, etc. Oh well, high ho high ho it is back to work I go
Yes, you were very lucky. sm
I tried match.com, put in a 30 mile radius ( small area here). I found I had already met all of these losers, about 10 of them, in one context another in real life, and would never have considered having even a cup of coffee with any of them. Lucky you!
LUCKY YOU!!! sm
Mine only cooks on the weekends about once or twice a year. We wound up having turkey breast but I wanted grilled salmon so I ate that instead. Yum.
Lucky you!!!!!!! nm

Lucky for me...
I'm not a Harry Potter person, but those who reside here are...
My daughter is 20, son is 26, and son's GF is 22. One is asleep after reading all night and the other two are quietly reading... the house is so QUIET!!
So... Lucky for me, they are reading and that I don't feel jealous because I have to work!!
They preordered and got the books last night. Unfortunately, my son accidently ran into a spoiler on the internet w/o even trying... so he's a little bummed.
Well... happy reading when you get off!!!
Wow, lucky you!
Was he a real ladies man and as good looking as he is now?
You will be lucky if
the kids don’t come back and wreck the meeting place where you were. I agree with you about the parenting. It should start really, really early. Hubs and I out last night for dinner and couple next to us with child, about 3 I would say that was all over the place but mostly a danger to himself as he was climbing up on the chair up on the booster seat. There were 4 adults at the table but not one called this child down. I am glad my children grown. Call me overbearing or whatever, my kids were never out of control like what I see now. Oh, I did not spare the rod either.
How lucky you are to be there! Have a
s
He's been a lucky cat (sm)
Look at all the years of love you have given him...that is so sweet. Most animals never get a forever home where they can stay and live for 15 years. It's sad but it's sweet too. You have given him a good life :-)
Lucky you!
Believe it or not, I sure wish I was there! I have lived in central Florida since 1994 and have not lived in snow since. So sad. I was so glad to throw the old ice scraper and mittens away, but I really miss it. I miss snow days (not horrifying like Hurricane days are here), I miss cozy in the house while the flakes drop outside and how pretty it is. I know you in snowy areas might think I am nuts, but it is still 80s here and the only snap in the air is something for about 10 seconds between 6 and 6:15 a.m. No sledding here, only A/C in the house. Oh yeah, there was snow at my downtown, fake snow made by the town council for a holiday fair. There was roasting chestnuts, hot chocolate and hot cider. Too bad my little boy wore flip flops, he could not go in the snow and it was too hot out to drink the cider. Oh well, at least it looked like Christmas LOL.
Yep, consider yourself one of the lucky ones!
I remember my one brother at that age...wouldn't be caught dead near his mom, especially not in the kitchen! My other two brothers though, they were/are good eggs like your son. You must be doin' something right!
He's definitely one of the lucky ones
I would be very happy if my husband received anything. Granted he gets a monthly bonus depending on profits at the shop (he works at a car dealership - sometime good, sometimes not), but it would be nice if he got an actual Christmas bonus any amount.
I wonder if maybe they have been lucky enough
not to have experienced as much death as some families.
I know when we lost my aunt, she was only 63, but still it was the first death in our family in many years. There wasn't a lot of loud grieving, but most of us were walking around in a state of numb shock.
Very sorry! She was very lucky to have you. nm
!
You are very lucky.
I read the book and saw the movie and loved them both. It's one of my favorite movies.
You are very lucky sm
I live in CT where just this week there has been three home invasions and about six months ago there was the one from Cheshire CT which made national headlines. Two teenage girls and a mom were raped and shot. A total of four people are dead because of this. All the criminals in these cases have past records. No one is safe anymore. I am so glad you are okay.
Wow! Lucky you!
 What state do you live in?
Lucky you!
Man that sounds like a great time! I really don't think you will have a hard time. I bet your kids will just enjoy themselves. Be safe!
you are so lucky!
you see, i clean my desk off every couple of weeks, and every time i do, i SWEAR the next day it is a pigsty again!!!
Lucky!
I miss Pittsburgh. Especially Primanti Brothers!
Go Steelers!!
Lucky 13
There are 13 full moons in a year. The lunar/femaleness of this is what turned it into a negative superstition, but to me, Friday the 13th is like finding a dollar on the sidewalk.
I am very lucky to have a DH with -sm
with a good head on his shoulders, who started saving when he was 20, obviously picked good funds which have mucho mutiplied. I met him when he was 35 and had $200K at that point, and all he had then were 2 aggressive mutual funds. After we married we open up 2 more mutal funds and the bond (which only has $100K in it). So the majority is in the mutual funds, not the bond. So basically it boils down to $25K a mutual fund gone, which in the big picture really is not that bad. I swear by Fidelity, they are really a great 401K. We made out tons better than friends and my father (who lost about 50%). We pass on tips to my dad but he never listens which in hindsight is quite foolish. He lost over $250K and is scrambling now but his house is paid off so he will be okay, just may have to pare down some of his hobbies. I would never presume really risk a lot of our money on our own. We did have some stocks in a fund that I had opened years ago on etrade, those jerks sucked it dry with fees, etc. and lost $500. My DHs pension is a joke($50K total, worse than SS if that is possible--assuming you live a long time) so it is a good thing he started young, as have I too but my personal IRA is a joke compared to his 401K, much less than yours. I guess mine will be the play fund in the future and his we will use to live off of. Despite the losses we have reassurance that the money is there, and if by some freak chance he loses his job we will bit the bullet and take out enough to pay off the house and for the penalities we would ensue for doing so. I hope it does not ever come to that but as I don't make enough to pay all the bills it would become necessary unfortuntately, he makes four times what I do, and I don't make that much, not anywhere near the people on here that say they make $40-$60K a year.
lucky dog
My dog would probably try to eat the snake. I am lucky I havent seen one... the keyword is SEEN. One day I went to look for something under my bathroom cabinet and there were 3 piles of snake poop and a huge snake skin.... I about added a 4th pile of poop because that scared the crap out of me!!!
Lucky you!!
Where do you work? ;-)
you are one of the lucky ones, ---sm
perhaps you should read the post below about whose child was given chemo and died a horrible death. Chemo does work for some, but not all. Alternative treatments work for some, but not all. To be ignorant and say that child will ABSOLUTELY die without it is also wrong. You don't know that. Nobody knows that. Only God knows that, and if the mother and the child wish to seek alternatives to chemo, that should be their right, without the government interference and without other people who happen to feel differently interfering, as well, like by turning them in. Leave them alone, it is their lives, not yours.
maybe we should suggest chemo to people who want gorgeous hair now, too?? as your post seems more preoccupied with the looks of your daughter's hair than with whether this poor 13 year old boy should be forced to have something he does not want.
You must be very lucky
I've never had a relationship or a marriage that did not require work and some degree of self-sacrifice. It's a wonderful thing for you that yours at least doesn't feel like work; your husband must meet you halfway on everything. Every day life often requires a compromise on somebody's part, and frankly, even knowing it's beneficial, is still work. When you take 2 people and put them together, they each bring their own view of what and how things should be done; each brings their own priorities, morality, and baggage and finding the way to merge the two into a cohesive functioning one takes effort. Finding time for each other in the face of jobs, kids, friends, family, household responsibilities takes an effort.
Yes, marriages/relationships are work. It's a good one that doesn't make it feel like hard work or unappreciated work.
You may just be lucky
but all marriages have their ups and downs. If you find someone pretty compatible with yourself, you will have less of the downs. It will be 40 years for us in August this year. Its been a "bed of roses." A few thorns but a real sweet smell that you want to keep around." :-)
Wow! Lucky you!..........nm

lucky coat
Wish all I had to worry about was my kdis lost coat. I got bills - not trying to be disrespectful - your lucky - I'm a MT is USA
I'm lucky, I have great mom-in-law and dad-in-law.....
it's their son I can't stand. LOL! Seriously often it usually is my husband that is miserable around the holidays, he's kind of a perfectionist, neat-freak, hates to have deadlines, hates to have to drive somewhere far...etc.etc.etc. And usually when he gets there he enjoys himself, so I don't understand why he gets himself all worked up. Men! lol
Man....I guess I'm lucky
The only problem I've had with any of the neighbors is that the dog across the street attacked my dog - that dog is twice my dog's size (mine is a Pomeranian, 20 pounds) and my Pom was on his back in a totally submissive position but the other dog still grabbed onto his hindquarters before I could reach them. I had to keep beating the other dog off and I was screaming at him and meantime my poor Pom was scared to death. Fortunately there wasn't any serious damage but now he won't walk out to the mailbox with me any more (which is what we were doing at the time, and it is the ONLY time I ever let him out without a leash).
I realize there are much, much worse neighbors - but I feel almost like my baby was attacked.
In our old neighborhood, we had next-door neighbors we called "The Addams Family" - they were spooky and ooky, but they kept to themselves.
yes, your a lucky one....although i wouldnt like the
rules...i want to live away from people so we can do family things outside, listen to some nice music, barbeque...things like that w/o having to worry about the nextdoor neighbor dragging his wife out by her hair and fighting, screaming...just crazy stuff...one morning i woke up and thier house was trashed...tv was broken adn outside, pinic table turned over...later i asked their kids what had happened and mom and dad had been up fighting all night...GOOD GREIF!!!
If that is the only activity you pay for you are lucky!!
My daughter plays school sports (which cost money), is in the performing choir (planning on going to California to perform $600 per student), plays competitive volleyball ($800 fee without travel, shoes, food and such), competitive softball (depending on the team is $400 to $700 to sign plus gear, protective clothing, travel, food etc...). She hopes to be able to get a job to help with some of the cost but she doesnt turn 16 for another few months. Sheesh homecoming cost about $200 prom is about the same if not more. Why not check into fundraising. My daughter and I work hockey games, football games and other activities to raise money (because truthfully without sponsors, donations and fundraising I dont think I could do it) Where there is a will there is a way is my motto.
P.S. - I was lucky, only out about 26 hours
and no trees down in my yard.
