3 months and used his thumb instead. He is 6 and I still catch him sucking his thumb in his sleep. At least you can take away a pacifier. I say don't let them have it after about 18 months. They don't need it then, it is a crutch.

Go spit! (sm)
Snorkel masks fog up all the time. To stop that from happening, you rub the inside of the glass with seaweed. Chances are you don't have seaweed hanging around your house. When you are snorkeling and can't find seaweed, next best thing is spit. Yeah, I know. You spit in your mask and rub it on the glass, swish it in the water and you are good to go. If you don't want to spit, there are products you can buy to defog stuff.
You can Google: spit antifog and go to the site named JAWS. They offer a product actually called Spit Antifog and it's good on 'anything that fogs', including windshields, ski goggles, and eye glasses. Even Amazon.com sells it. Not as fun as seaweed, not as gross as spitting on your glasses, but probably as effective!
Oh wow! Look at the spit and vinegar!
 'Tit's okay. I'm just psyched a few people clicked on the link! Right before I went to bed last night there were only about 5 clicks to see what I wrote, and one of them was mine makin' sure the link worked!
Right after I posted, there was a woman in the stall pulling the baby (okay, foal) out of the mamma horse (mare). I still don't know if it was a boy (colt) or a girl (filly), but haven't logged on yet today to see if they put something on their website to tell one way or another. I don't see any nuggets hanging down, but I don't think the camera zooms in to check under the hood.
That website, marestare.com has oodles of live cams posted on the internet for people to watch horses (even donkeys!) give birth. My boss was on IM last night and I let her know and both she and her daughter got to watch it. I think they are hooked! Good clean entertainment...well, maybe not CLEAN...even I was ooged out at seeing what I can only imagine was the placenta hanging out of the horse until she expelled it. But still, of all the junk out there on the internet...good stuff in my opinion!
I'm so mad I could spit nails!!!
Okay, let me start off by saying, I'm writing this for the primary purpose of venting. I'm not asking for advice or expecting support, but I would appreciate no bashing on this one.
I have 2 boys playing little league this year on the same team. Last night they had a game against the 1 team I really wanted them to beat. I absolutely cannot stand 1 of the kid's mothers on the other team. She is at every sports function and likes to run everything. She is very pushy and will do anything to have her kid come out on top (suck up to the head coaches, offer to run the boosters, make ridiculous posters to hang on her front porch for the kids on the bus to see). You get the picture?
Ordinarily I keep my distance from her because just the sound of her know-it-all voice gets on my nerves. Last night I stood in the same spot I always stand in. My kids were the home team and I was near the first baseline (my kids play first and second base and pitch). She ends up 3 feet from me. The first couple of innings were fine. Let me say that I do not boo the other team or make any remarks at all about their players. I am there to cheer my sons' team on and my sons.
Now to the technicalities, the last 2 games we have been short an outfield ump. The only ump we had was the one behind the catcher. Usually when this happens, if there's someone in the bleachers who's willing to ump the outfield, they can make $10. Last night, this guy volunteers, who happens to be this other woman's dad (hence, the grandfather of a kid on the opposing team). As unhappy about this as I was, I said nothing. I figured he deserved the benefit of the doubt.
He made several calls early on that seemed fair, so I pretty much dismissed the bias I thought he might have. Then about halfway through the game, we have a runner on first and third and our kid up to bat. He hits it and the runner on first goes to second while the runner on third goes home. The ball made it to the infield and the shortstop tries to catch the runner going to second. Our runner makes it second base just before the other kid does and the other kid ends up on top of him and he drops the ball. Now, the outfield ump (gramps), calls our kid safe and we got a run in. The catcher ump turns around and calls the kid out, saying it was a forced play and he didn't have to tag the kid and he thinks the other kid made it to the base first. How he saw that from his distance is beyond me. Secondly, when he called the kid out after the fact, he gave no explanation for it. The coaches didn't even know.
Now this is when I got a litte irritated. I yelled out that our kid was on the base first and the other ump called him safe. I'll admit I was a little heated and was talking rather loudly to my mom. I was not talking about any of the kids. I was stating that the other ump's eyes (catcher's ump) must be pretty good to see that far away when the ump who was right there called him safe (gramps). I probably did go on a little longer than I should have, but it not only cost us a run, it also gave us 3 outs to end the inning.
At this point, the woman sitting 3 feet away, says "Enough already!" I turned and said "I don't think I was talking to you!" I then turned back to my mom and the 1 coach and asked what the call was and why. This woman then addresses me by name and begins telling me the rules of baseball. Now mind you, this woman has never played baseball in her life (we went to the same school) and the only kid she has in baseball a son younger than my oldest. Furthermore, later on in the game, she had no clue what the infield fly rule is (and even I knew that one), my point being she doesn't know the game that well. So after she starts telling me this, I looked at her and said "I've heard enough of out you!"
Needless to say, 2 bad calls later, we lost the game. I'm still fuming. I realize this is only a game and it's not our first loss. But this woman's know-it-all attitude really has me PO'ed. She's been picked up for shoplifting and I really wanted to explain to her what shoplifting is and why you shouldn't do it, but I didn't. I know I'm going to have to see her at every sporting event because she pushes her kid to play sports year-round. She had 3 kids before she even got married and milked the system for all she could. Now she's a daycare provider and I actually took my kids to her once years ago, before I really knew her, and my kids hated going there because all she did was watch TV. The kids had to be quiet and they had to watch her shows. They weren't allowed to go outside to play until her soaps were over.
Okay, I feel better. I just really needed to vent this one. I think the next time we play them, I will stand on the opposite side of the field from her and maybe wear earplugs, so I can't hear her either.
I just spit my coffee out...how much
can you get for trailers these days? Honey, grow a thick skin and quit trying to prove you're something you're not! How about a sense of humor.....I always find those that have to boast about what they have actually have the least.
Awaiting your snappy, defensive comeback...
I am so livid I could spit nails! - sm
My daughter's both take dance at a local dance studio. Nothing fancy, nice people, etc, and have been going there now for over 3 years. Last night my 8-year-old left her coat there (denim jacket with embroidered butterflies --from Kohl's I think) and a pink scarf. I thought nothing of it, she'd let coats there before without problem, and I knew I'd be back there tonight for my other daughter's dance class, also I was too tired to go back (16 miles round trip) to get it....she told me she left it there when we pulled into the driveway. So get there tonight and no jacket or scarf. Someone there actually stole it (so it appears). I am so po'ed it is not funny. I made a sign asking for its return, saying "lost", etc, and if anyone had accidentally taken them home with them (though they were both pretty distinctive). I just cannot believe someone there stole them. I see these people 9 months out of the year. This is a very small community with hardly any crime and someone steals a coat and scarf. I called the owner and left a message for her, hoping against hope that she took them home for some reason (they have a lost and found box), but still waiting on her call. If no one coughs it up I am certainly going to make a lot of noise there next Tuesday night and talk to every parent and let them know that someone stole my kid's coat. 
Did Misha spit out the thorns?
e
LOL! I almost spit out my coffee. You have such a way with words.
Too funny :)
your so bored and lonely you can't even spit!
//
how can you spit stuff like this out your mouth?
"stepping over the body of the same child if it dies of starvation or child abouse after its been brought into the world?"
wtf does that even mean!
Thank you! I didn't realize they made computer glasses. Will make an appt. Spit didn't wor

Don't know about your God, but mine
my God is more forgiving than that!
She is not doing anyone any harm, so to say she will burn in h*** for celebrating the fun part of Halloween, not evilness, is the whole reason I do not attend church!
I never did it with mine. For one, I would have been
too embarrassed. My mother used to do it, but we have come a long way since then. I find it kind of primitive. I think nothing is wrong with it in your own home, but in public, I really think you should think about it. There are all kinds of weirdos out there and you just don't know what is in their minds. I see nothing wrong with breastfeeding INSIDE YOUR HOME, but there are folks who would get offended by doing it in public. I would not be offended, but really...I think you could put some of that breast milk in a bottle before you go out.
Mine is up
and FAKE -- Me and my fam are all allergic!
Have red/white/blue/silver these. Looks awesome. Have lights up outside too!!!!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Mine would be...
Laxatives
Laytex gloves
a metal detector
mine too
have to light a fire under his butt in an attempt to get him out of the house.
Mine did nothing at all, at least he went out and tried - sm
more than my DH did, though mine did ask me what I wanted, I told him, he told me to go buy it. This is typical for him. He used to get me beautiful jewelry for b-day, Christmas, annivarsary, that lasted for about 2 years or so, then it has been buy yourself what you want. I do not get bent (what is the point) though a little effort on his part would be nice. He did surprise me on our 10-year anniversary though this year, got me a beautiful opal necklace. As for the kids, my one daughter gave me 2 things, my other nothing, but she gives me wonderful drawings and such all the time, she just has a selfish streak I guess and does not think of others only herself. I just talked to her about this, maybe in the future she will remember our little talk and some good will come from it. My DH needs to learn somehow to have the kids get things for mom on special occasions, yours does too it seems. My neighbor has the same problem with her husband. Basically they are lazy people. He does none of the shopping, gift wrapping, packing to leave (except for his stuff of course), etc. He did buy 1 or 2 gifts, which I of course wrapped. This will probably never change until the kids are gone and he is an old man. I have seen it happen but not until grandchildren are on the scene and these men become model husbands for some reason, whether it is out of boredom or fear of the wife finally saying "I'm out of here, go fend for yourself", or they get struck my lightening, who knows, but beating yourself up about it is not the answer. If you are truly unhappy, get out, or kick him out. But if this is his "flaw" then either live with it, and buy yourself what you want each year or do something about it. It is your call how you deal with it.
mine went away
I had one on my nose for about a year and all of a sudden it just vanished and has never come back. It always bothered me because it was so ugly, but it never hurt and I didn't have to pay to zap it.
Two of mine have had and he will run
fever if he does not drink or eat the popsickles and get sicker. You probably know but you can cool him down with tepid water, try that. You will really have to keep up with you have to drink or eat cool, cold so he will not run that fever.
Yes, mine are
never and I mean never tempt fate. i could never say I was sick or someone else sick say if I wanted to be off from work, no, no, might come true. I have to knock on wood when I say something that is an iffy thing, don’t want to jink.
LOL, I had mine do just that
I gave him a testing tape. It took him hours to get through a page, typing with two fingers, with everything lumped together in one big paragraph, headings and all. Not to mention all the mistakes. lol He now says he has no idea how I do this. I told him I don't know either. : )
LOL! Mine does that too!
And I love how they can never puke/cough up hairballs on the tile, they always have to find a carpeted area (which stains). They can be in the middle of the tile kitchen and find the only rug!
Mine do that too! LOL!
I have tiles in my kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room, yet they decide to leave me presents in the living room or bedrooms where it is carpeted! I own a steam cleaner just for that purpose! LOL!
ok, here's mine...
Awesome: Ellen Degeneres (sp?)
Lame: Oprah
Mine is like that too. (sm)
I don't know why they so strongly believe that aggressive driving is good driving. DH always wants to drive or else he goes nuts, but when I occasionally end up being the driver, he needs to keep quiet so I can concentrate. Just because his BP is through the roof shouldn't mean mine has to be. Lately even when I'm the passenger I don't put up with it. As he starts up, complaining about traffic the moment we've pulled out of the driveway, I calmly remind him he'll live through it. He is starting to realize what a pain he is in the car.
Mine did this ONCE -
We were first married and actually WERE, uh, busy...You never saw someone hit the door running so fast. It never happened again. However, if I were you I would definitely lock my door and put up a sign asking everyone to please knock. It is YOUR house.
Here's how I got out of mine...
I called the cell phone company, said I was trying to cancel but got disconnected and had to call back. When the rep said I had to pay termination on both phones I said the previous rep said I only had to be for 1 phone disconnect fee. After going back and forth a little bit, the rep caved and only charged me for 1 disconnect fee. Worth a try. Good luck.
Mine
used to go on "business trips" and would never check in as well and came up with a world of reasons why. He was seeing other women. That also played a role in lowering my self-esteem, but now I look back and actually feel sorry for him. He's alone and will never have the respect or relationship I have with our children. It's just pitiful, but he made his bed.
I hope you have family you can talk to and get support from. If you need to email me, please feel free. I just know how you feel and I hurt for you right now, but I promise you, it'll all be okay.
Here are mine...sm
Knitting, crochet, cross stitch are my favorites, but the projects keep piling up in a corner because there is no time, and too tired to get through even 5 pages of a book at bedtime. Wish I had an adventure-filled life to blame it on. 
I got mine a GPS....sm
he gets lost VERY easily so I figured he'd love it.
mine are like that too.
The last time one of them was home he straightened out one my cupboards and they like to cook with me and play board or card games.
That is exactly how I fix mine, YUM! (nm)

First mine said he was gay
He deliberately married me for a "front" (he was in the military) and didn't bother to tell me he was gay until we'd been married 6 months. After years of confusion, he ended up having a sex change after marrying a second woman and having a child with her.
If you're lucky, he's just curious. But you really need to get the truth out of him, and be prepared for the worst. If he's really confused about his sexuality it may take him years to figure out who he "is" and what he really wants, so it may be difficult for him to tell you the truth because he might be in denial about it himself.
Mine was only 10 or 11, but she had - sm
aggressive, metastatic breast cancer that spread to her lungs. Vet said I would "know" when to have her PTS.
I knew when she didn't want to do anything but sit on the couch and stare off into space. No longer wanted food or attention, just occasional water, and kind of a blank stare. Was also out of breath all the time. So I had a long talk with her about it, and she just seemed to be saying, "Do it - I'm ready."
Well here's mine (sm)
I can lean on the slacker side sometimes too so here is what I do: get my tea- start half an hour early - read any interesting news on Yahoo, check and respond to emails, look at MTstars ;-) - just get that out of the way. Through the day I tell myself I can't switch over and check email or anything until I have done a certain number of minutes, etc., which earns me an email break. I also have motivational music on my computer - like The Blur's Woohoo! song that I play in between when I am doing things that don't require listening, like sending my work and things like that.
here's mine
 Life is good, I am SO blessed!
Mine is on my arm
I want a new one on my back but i'm afraid to get it done here; my one and only was done in Austin, Texas. Mine's pretty big, it takes up almost my entire upper arm.
yes, I got mine on 05/02
I was under the assumption that married people get 1200. Not true. We only got 600. The VA took 167.00 of it, so that left us with 433. Not exactly what I was expecting, but will come in handy.
I'd rather be where you are but here's mine:

Mine does this too
And I am in my 20s. I have them sometimes many times a day for a week straight or so. I am going to my cardiologist again soon but I assume it is nothing to worry about because they dont seem worried. I have a feeling they will do a Holter or something, but it is so hard to catch them because it seems it essentially just does it when it feels like it.
Mine is not like that but just as bad
After 25 years of being together he still has most of his stuff. He doesn't touch my stuff and I don't touch his. It is so hard to get him out of the mindset of keeping everything. He says there is a lot he wants to get rid of but the actuality of doing it? He can't bring himself to part with it even though he says he needs to lighten up.
Mine is....
"hisself" instead of himself. Drives me crazy.
Here goes mine..
ax instead of ask,
beedroom instead of bedroom (I think that's an Australian thing) or for that matter, betroom instead of bedroom
Daytawn instead of Dayton (& from residents too!)
The use of the f-word & the s-word in every other sentence... (if not every sentence)
The over-use of the word "basically" As in starting every other sentence, "Well, basically it's...."
Mine are:
warsh for wash (a common Hoosier-ism, I guess, but I still hate it)
liberry for library
chimbly for chimney
and my mother-in-law pronounces crayons "crins" 
Mine is 10 now
and of course he doesn't remember this anymore but my hubs asked him the other day if he wanted a hangaburger. He just thought his dad was weird. LOL Kids are so much fun.
Here's mine....see pic
I usually have a calico kitten sleeping on my notebook, but I'm not working this afternoon, so not sure where she is.
mine are not that age yet
thought about what i would do should that happen... i did it when i was young and i made some very poor choices during the time i smoked. though that's not happened yet, should it happen, i believe i would try to be with my kids as much as i possibly could. i would take them to school, i would pick them up, if they have a school function, guess what? mom's going too.
you know, when i was younger and did that, my parents DID have a clue... they may have wanted to act all naive but they KNEW.. and as ticked off at them as i would have been had they ever confronted me about it, i look back and truly wish they had and maybe shown some tough love. i think your son's father may be going overboard with wanting to kick him out.
the most important thing is, regardless of how you decide to deal with this, is to let him know how much you love him. bottom line is, if you didn't love him, you wouldn't care what he does.
Some of mine are.............sm
The Christmas Shows with Rob Lowe.
Santa and Pete with Hume Cronyn.
The Angel Doll with Keith Carradine.
The Santa Clause with Tim Allen
And my all-time favorite is It's a Wonderful Life with Jimmy Stewart.
Here is mine...sm
It is Souper easy (I know, groan!). Chicken, beef or veggie stock (not broth), frozen veggies depending on mood, quite a bit of garlic and onion, frozen tortellini, and maybe some bits of meat (usually not), and herbs depending on the other ingredients being used. Amount depends on how many people are being fed. This is good for using up leftover veggies, chicken and beef, too.
Here's Mine.
Cornbread dressing, mashed potatoes, gravy made from the turkey drippings, green beans, and heat-n-serve rolls.
Here is mine....
..
Mine too! - They are probably all on an
island somewhere living a wonderful life and have left us here to deal with their replacements!
Please have your stranger come pick up my stranger on his way to this quest!
