If the lady had this doll at a yard sale, apparently it didn't mean that much to her. sm
and maybe the mom said to her daughter that anything at the yard sale is for sale at any price - she just wants to get rid of it. You shouldn't judge unless you know all the facts.
I put *warning, graphic* in the subject field, but apparently it didn't show up. nm

I didn't realize I started the same as the topic below - nm

I must admit I started to type "Yawn" but really didn't

Haven't started shopping yet, but have started saving $$$
Don't have an awful lot yet, but both hubby and I are doing it (separate accounts) so we should have a good amount when we combine. My goal is to start shopping in September after my daughter's birthday and finish by Thanksgiving. That's my goal. I have never reached it! Maybe this year!
And FYI, the thread we are posting in right now was one I started, you started the earlier one. nm

The voting went exactly (sm)
the way I wanted it to tonight. Or the country girl could have gone home. I have 5 favorites, so it's soon going to be painful to have people voted off.
I like both Davids, the Australian guy and dreadlocks guy. I like the Irish girl too.
AI Voting
My daughter and I were so upset last night. I was shocked, that's for sure. My husband said you can't complain you didn't vote. I really was hoping no one would go especially like you said, last year no one left. He was definitely my choice to go far in the competition.
AI voting
Unfortunately, I believe this has turned into more of a popularity competition rather than a talent competition. I didn't vote, so I don't have the right to say anything about the vote, but there was nothing wrong with Michael Johns; he definitely has more talent than some of the others.
good for you for voting with your money
but did want to say that Hanukkah came before Christmas. Jesus even celebrated it. John 10:22
Good for you for standing up for your beliefs. While many disagree or do not feel as strongly (it does not bother me if they don't advertise religious holidays - it would bother me if I learned the employees were not allowed to say Merry Christmas or Happy Hanukkah etc...), it is always good to take a stand for your beliefs.
Everyone voting for him are just taking him at his word because he sm
isn't experienced in running the country. Ask any OB fan just what he's accomplished and they give you this deer in the headlights look.
At least his rival, Hillary, has a lot behind her in the way of experience. People can say anything.
Haven't you heard the saying? Don't tell me about your labor pains, JUST SHOW ME THE BABY!!!!
You are probably right, and all the silly girls are voting for Blake...
who by the way is no prize, lol. Raise the bar girls! He's a short little creep. Looks like a young Sean Penn, sort of, with that homely face. lol Can you tell I don't like him at all? lol
before voting for Hillary please read link....
HILLARY CLINTON (D-PUNJAB)’S
PERSONAL FINANCIAL AND POLITICAL TIES TO INDIA
The Clintons have reaped significant financial rewards from their relationship with the Indian community, both in their personal finances and Hillary’s campaign fundraising. Hillary Clinton, who is the co-chair of the Senate India Caucus, has drawn criticism from anti-offshoring groups for her vocal support of Indian business and unwillingness to protect American jobs. Bill Clinton has invested tens of thousands of dollars in an Indian bill payment company, while Hillary Clinton has taken tens of thousands from companies that outsource jobs to India. Workers who have been laid off in upstate New York might not think that her recent joke that she could be elected to the Senate seat in Punjab is that funny.....

Biggest Loser voting question
I need to vote, but I can't find where to vote! Shouldn't that be the first thing you see when you go to the website? Anybody have a link? I want Roger to stay because I think Mark has reached the limit of healthy weight loss. If he keeps competing it is not going to be pretty! Plus his body and mind start breaking down because he pushes himself too hard.
Voting is more fair on the dancing show. You have a

I haven't started yet, but have started my lists.
The only reason I haven't started yet is because of $$$. But I have started some good lists for the kids and the DH. I actually have some good ideas for him this year (he is hard to buy for).
I'm like you, I love Christmas but hate the commercialism of it. We were at Costco a while back looking for Halloween costumes and they already had their Christmas stuff out. They always make me feel like I'm already late on my shopping!
I may do a lot of online shopping this year. It's easier with little ones. My 2yo is more aware this year so taking him with me to buy his own presents is out. Darn!
It always seems that Halloween (my favorite) takes forever to get here, but once it's over, then the holiday rush is on.
Happy Holidays everyone!
They should take away public voting and go back to judges votes and they should
like 6 so then it's more fair. Randy calls it like it is, Paula can never say the truth is someone isn't very good, and Simon while I agree with him most of the time is rather vile.
I've heard in Calif they pull from both DMV and voting records
probably to widen the pool - so no help from me - sorry!
Totally agree. Idol is sort of a farce with the voting

Thank you! I didn't realize they made computer glasses. Will make an appt. Spit didn't wor

Happens a lot apparently
One time I bought a Coleman camp stove at Wal-Mart. Got to the camp site and went to set up my "kitchen area" and opened the box and SOMEONE'S OLD CAMP STOVE -- still with grease in it. I was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO mad.
When I got home I took it back to the store and asked to speak to the manager, explained the situation and they took it back.
I hope they believe you. It is a shame to have to live in a world with people who not only want to screw Wal-Mart but also their fellow consumers :(
Apparently so
I send my niece a birthday card with money in it every year. I always have to ask my brother if she received it or not. She doesn't even come to the phone and thank me for it, and he doesn't ask her to. That's why for a couple of years I quit sending it....but I figured hey, they can be rude but I'm not going to.
When my son graduated high school, he verbally thanked the people who were here who gave him gifts and/or money, and he either hand wrote (yes, I made him) or emailed distant relatives to thank them.
Oh, by the way - my brother hasn't sent my son a birthday present or card since he was about five years old. I love my brother dearly, but sometimes I just want to smack him.
Apparently not.
Looks like mod fixed it anyway:) Unbelievable that they have that much time on their hands....must be really boring over there:)
Though I am not apparently old enough
to be "older than dirt" I do remember quite a few of the things you mentioned.
Mostly because I grew up in a poor family, and because my grandparents raised me. Many of the things mentioned, they still had and used when I was little.
They lived in a very rural area, and believe it or not they still had a "party line" until the 80s!
My grandparents kept a lot of things even as they became obsolete. I think it was a great history lesson for me.
I remember by grandpa told me he bought a ཾ Chevy Impala brand new from the factory for $6000. That was the biggest amount he ever had paid for anything. He bought it that way of course because it was cheaper. It was even more discounted because back then you could buy a car without seatbelts installed. They were still in the box they came in and in the trunk of that car when he gave it to my uncle in 1989. The car was still in mint condition.
I remember when my brother turned 13 he got an 8-track tape player for his birthday. We thought that was state of the art. Back then I guess it was.
I still prefer a lot of old things. Did you notice that people just don't fix things anymore? We live in a disposable society nowadays and people act accordingly.
Apparently!
I'm from SE Pennsylvania about 50 MI W of Philly. I didn't think I had an accent at all, but on a trip to Alaska TWO different strangers were able to tell where I was from. One girl in Alaska said I sounded like her father who, as it turns out, lived in a town only 3-4 miles from where I was brought up. Another woman recognized it from living in another town only about 10 miles away.
And I don't sound like Philly, really! (At least I didn't think I did!) YO! ADRIAN!
well I don't have snow, but apparently from the looks of it-
not much grass. This time of the year it is easy to tell that I have a bumper crop of wild onions and they are a lot higher than the grass that is greening up. I have daffodils, hyacinths and crocus. How long until you see green?
Apparently you are not tired enough of it
As you are still letting them out and expecting a different result. You can only truly control YOUR actions. Keep the cats inside.
Well apparently he does more than just dancin'!
LOL
In charge of nothing, apparently.
That kind of power is too much for most people.
Statements from ones who know apparently not much about
the south. Her comment I do not consider a political one. She stated how we in the south have some sort of culture where dogfighting just goes hand and hand with being from the deep south. Where she ever got this idea- she is not from here and apparently has not been here much to have made such a statement. She tried to retract her statement about Vick but to me that was not the problem- if she wants to condone someone who would treat animals like that- her business- but we in the deep south really offended by people like Vick and her also.
Not taking up for her, but apparently being
mentally challenged, to her it was like when you see someone you know and popping them on the shoulder to say hi. Granted, she actually hit instead of a pop, but take into consideration her mental condition. She was not meaning to hurt you and I am glad it was only a bruise and nothing more serious. Hopefully, mgmt knew her and her family and will get in touch with them.
Apparently MS hasn't seen the Mac
commercial making fun of Vista.
apparently, you are not the problemo

I didn't say her decor didn't sound great.
It's not ridiculous.
I would seriously doubt the Christianity of anyone who feels it is okay to celebrate Halloween. It is anti-God in every aspect.
You can only service 1 God and the folly of man and carnality is in direct conflict with holiness.
Thanks - I didn't realize they didn't like the smell of citrus
I have the feeling he doesnt have a UTI and he's trying to tell me something else, but I'll be taking him to the vets to be safe.
Apparently you did not read all of her posts
either.
Missed a lot of the discussion apparently - sm
What I don't understand is where you get that all unwed mothers are drug addicts or alcoholics.
That is not true at all. Sure, it happens to some but for you to lump unwed mothers into that category is terrible.
You don't know my personal circumstances. I don't know yours.
I'm just saying that I would like to help others that are in the same situation I was in way back when. Hopefully I would be able to help them so they don't have the struggles that I had.
Thankfully, my child and I were never homeless but I worked my tail off to make sure that didn't happen. I sometimes worked 2-3 jobs.
I also worked my way through school. I didn't get hand outs, didn't expect them either but it really would have been wonderful if someone was there to guide me to the things that I needed to do. Maybe it wouldn't have taken me so long to get to where I needed to be.
Absolutely nothing is free in this world and that would not be the point.
However, this is a dream we are talking about right? This isn't about socioeconomic dysfunction. It's about someone wanting to help someone else.
Your dress code is not being followed apparently,
because you yourself state your neice wore shorts too short and your son had to change his shirt. If your school had uniforms, these would not happen. Any disruption, such as having to pull this child or that child out for breaking the dress code or other things disrupts your educational system, understand?
It's apparently one of *those* emails - it's not true...

I check everything out on Snopes :)
yep - apparently - and he's on many talk shows..sm
This dude spews on certain talk shows and certainly on his blog and I just don't like him and then he never shuts up either........*lol*
Apparently she's never been to Newport News, VA!!
I cracked up laughing when I read what Whoopie said about the so-called deep south! I just moved back to the midwest after living in Virginia Beach, VA, for four years. Newport News is right next to VA Beach and they are definitely NOT the deep south or even really the south for that matter. There's a lot of crime there and poor folks, but it's quite a large city and not country unless you go WAY out of the city. There are actually a LOT of New Yorkers that live there and a TON of military people.
Apparently so many confused on this issue!!
His aunt, who died, knew him by this name. His brother does not respect his new name and has been asked to call him this PRIOR TO ANY FUNERAL. Friend apparently does not think silly after having asked before to be called that - numerous times, not just now. Most women when they marry have a name change- would most of them want to go by their old names? Most, underline that- so it is not taken out of text, would want to have their new name. Why is it different for a man?? His family comes around his new stepdaughter and son-in-law and calls him by his old name which they stepdauhter and SIL DO not know him by. Those are his wishes and here in America, I think most of us want our wishes to be observed. Oh about who cares- he does.
Apparently downies are plentiful
this year - have had two different bird feeding stores tell me that. I had 2 brown creepers! Only once - but quite a sighting along with my now pair of red breasted nuthatches - one of which stayed about a foot away and watched when I filled up a feeder. I think I may have had a hairy once - he looked a little larger than my downies but he flew just as I realized he might be different.
Apparently they are setting a certain amount you can use and if you go beyond that they can
either disconnect you for a year or charge you for the extra that you use. This is Comcast. I expect all the internet companies will follow suit so many are saying the internet as we know it is now going to change and become more expensive to use and we will only be allowed a base amount of usage for our flat fee we pay and beyond that we may have to pay extra for however much more we use in increments. Time will tell what happens I guess. What can you do.
nobody plays anything anymore, apparently
Wow, it was like you were reciting a chapter from our life. We've had the hardest time around other parents and their kids. You should have seen the confused look we got the other day when someone asked us if our kids liked Diego, and we said that ours don't really watch TV. It was the politest thing to say, because there was the show up on their enormous expensive flat-screen TV, and the animation was so awful, and nothing at all was happening, and the kids were just itching to *do* something instead of being sung at by dead-eyed drawings, but how do you tell people that? ''I might let her watch TV if there were anything on that wasn't a hypnotic half-hour commercial for some crappy toy.'' If you say that, people think *you're* judgmental and weird, no matter how much they look down on you for not having the Latest and Greatest.
What can you do? Here's all I can do: Trust myself, trust my instincts that there's a mistake those people are making. My goal is to raise morally good kids. Make them good, make them smart. Rich, snobbish and overstimulated aren't virtues.
I enjoyed that. Apparently my brain is
26! That's 14 years younger than the rest of me! LOL
I was answering MTRobin and apparently
you did not read my answer well. I said I did not have to use my credit card. I am not broke. What do you not understand about I could have used the CDs if I had wanted?? I have 401K and 2 others. I spend because I can. I have money in the bank. I can pay my accts on a month to month basis and ahead. I have no companies call me dunning me for payments. I paid an additional $15,000.00 more on my home last year on the principal to get the payments down. I would like to continue working but I am not having to work. I work now because I love my job. My husband is teamster and I can be a happy homemaker if I want. Years ago I struggled to support a family but I do not have to do that now. Just because others are hurting does not mean everyone here. I use my CC because easier than me going and cashing in the CDs and having several thousands buried in my back yard. I will have the CC paid down/off, have my 3 vacations planned for this year already and do perfectly alright if God lets me live and thrive as I have been. I have written this in as plain English as I can. Off this subject now.
I have read your responses and apparently
we transcriptionists have really become stuffy in our profession. I thought being anonymous we could tell others things about our own selves and had no idea it would cause such ruffled feathers. As to the person who talked about my eating bread and milk, no have not lost my teeth and I think I said had done this all my life. Sorry others did not find this different but back to the grudge of your everyday life. Just forget it, alright.
Apparently, producers are hoping Sanjaya

Apparently paying my Iowa taxes
Man, they've gone up. Dang it all to heck.
Otherwise, I'll be using the difference by knocking out my small bills in anticipation of paying off our zillions of dollars worth of student loans in about 800 years.
Well apparently daddy changed his mind and said
yes, yes, yes!!!! She couldn't attend the awards due to being in rehab. At least what Brad is singing about is legal!
