To observant: Please read the whole thread ,
'Has this ever happened to anyone - kind of weird/scary' - buzzed
(Views 196, 2009-03-07)

Then you will understand my post better!
I did not read the post yesterday and sorry
because I had puppies who got sick with mucus, bloody discharge from the anus, weight loss and I lost them. This is very lethal and had I read her post would have immediately told her to not wait for appointment to see veterinarian because this onset does not let someone take that long before young puppies can die. I had in my back yard and never could let young puppies be there ever. I hope hers is ok and she was able to get some assistance with the pup.
Right now 120 people have read your original post in this thread
So that's 120 people that do not mind versus the few that complained. Keep writing. I get a kick out the stories of your little dog. It is better than the fighting and name calling that goes on other boards. Even my kids stopped doing that in middle school.
I went down below and read all the posts regarding this poster and her way of sm
parenting. Although we have absolutely no right to tell her how to raise her children, I will say that I am concerned about this way of parenting and living in general. She reminds me A LOT of my sister in law who, mind you, is absolutely perfect. Her kids are perfect, her house is perfect, her yard is perfect, everything is so perfect in her world that it leaves absolutely NO ROOM for mistake, i.e., leaving your coat at home, forgetting your lunch, etc.

I can't stand to be around my sister in law for a nano second, much less Thanksgiving dinner. If you are not perfect and your kids are not perfect, well, behind your back she will talk about you ll day long about how difficult it must be to be you. When, in reality, everyone is thinking this about her. It literally makes my stomach turn at just the mere thought of her.

I don't know about you, but my closest friends are humble, make mistakes, are far from perfect, very forgiving (which my sister in law is not), and just giving in general.

Contrast the 2: The perfectionist who thinks she is teaching her kids responsibility by not helping then when they make a mistake, instead ruling with an iron fist so that "they will never do that again!" OR the nurturing mother who understands that children have short attention spans and can get caught up in moments and will forget their coat or their lunches once in a while and that it is our responsibility to help them and guide them along the way, teaching them love, forgiveness, and that it IS okay to make a mistake.

Honestly, I feel so sorry for my nieces and nephew because of the perfectionist spirit that my sister in law gives off. She really reminds me of Mom of 3 Children. Hey wait. Maybe they are the same person!
I read all the comments and I agree with the poster who wrote
'One has to teach people how to treat you' and one has to tell people what is imoportant to oneself.

It is inexcusable not to call or meet one's mother for mother's day and Christmas, etc.....

Poster did not give the ride. Why can't people read something and make an

effort to understand the whole issue before spouting off?


Also to YOU: Fead the whole thread. Do not jump in in the middle of a thread:
You will experience the bad side effects of Xanax, when you try to stop the intake of Xanax. Honestly, don't you notice that you are increasing the dosage on your own?

It is not a sleeping pill, it is an anxiolytic, it is supposed to lessen anxiety.
What are you so anxious about?

Try not to take it this evening, you'll see that you cannot or don't want to.
It is a highly addictive drug.

Another addicted person?
I am "juvenile post" poster. "Looney" poster is some

not poster you responded to but that poster has

everyone with different opinions is allowed to post here and poster said they were making a contribution in the name of pro-peace....give that poster a break please....



What a fun thread!

well, there is another thread concerning AI--sm
up above that seems far more abrasive and negative, to me anyway. Guess I just don't get it.
There is a thread further down about this.

If I don't read before I go to sleep I can't fall asleep. I will read sm
until I begin to fall asleep. They say reading relaxes you fully and it works wonders for me.

I used to suffer from insomnia, but not since I've been doing this - about 5 years now.

Plus, I've grown so much and have gained wisdom by doing so. I enjoy Christian books and reading the Bible.
Thread stopped. (SM)
We're not going to fight over religion or Christmas or Santa or Christ on this board.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

On another thread on this board....

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. 


 


it was? I see the thread below...admin says

The administrator just the other day (somewhere below in the threads) said we can talk about anything here except *MT work, politics or religion* and said *anything else is fine* in subject line or name line.



I'm not the one who started the thread but
I posted a reply on another thread about infidelity. I told the poster that what she was doing was wrong, to take a cold shower and pray about what was doing.

Regina (yeah, she uses her name in her entire email address) emailed me about how wrong I was, don't have a conscience, and stuff.

I saw her name here on this thread.

I'm just telling her to STOP EMAILING ME.

This thread or the shedding?!
LOL!
This will start a thread about who does not like her
but I was reminded when I saw your post about seeing Sylvia Browne in person 1 time. She said if someone toxic, no matter who they were, your own son, you should exclude them. I truly believe this to be the case.
right now, that former thread is on page 2
.
Confessions thread....
I think i'm depressed.
Downer thread

This happened outside the movie theater we went to on yesterday.
The guy tied a rope around his neck and the other end around a pole.


I have never heard of anyone doing it that way!

What happened to just doing it in your garage?


As I posted in another thread,
I just love old cars, especially ones that are funny, unusual, or just pretty. I don't care about engines - I am a girl - so it's all about looks, and a little about the funny old-fashioned sounds they made. But still - cars! So while I would be happy to collect little toy/model cars, I have had to control the urge because I'm supposed to want to collect pretty dishes and glasswear or teapots or something, and none of that stuff interests me. I don't care what it's worth if it doesn't capture my imagination.

I do sort of collect books on gardening though, and they must have many, many color pictures.
Regarding prayer thread below (sm)

For those who responded about it being wrong to pray and that they were going to know have to have a Bible beside their Dorland's....how closed minded are you? We have freedom of religion in this country - should we take away our freedoms now?  If two people of any religion want to pray in this country they are free to do so as long as it does not impose their beliefs on anyone else.  Asking a Transcriptionist to type "we prayed" is asking him or her to document the happenings during the office visit just like everything else is documented.  I am sure the doctor already knew of the patient's religion and they were both of the same religion - the doctor did not impose anything on this patient.  I believe everyone is free to worship or not worship as their own beliefs dictate....you cannot take away that right - this is America - right now we still have freedoms here that many countries don't have the luxury of having....please don't try to take our rights away!!  I would gladly transcribe any report mentioning any religion if that is what the doctor dictated because being fair and having freedom means that we don't judge anyone's religion, whether we believe they are right or not.  If you are not religious, that is also your choice.  I recently typed a chart where a woman was using the alignment of the stars to determine the best time for her to have surgery....I typed it like the doctor said it, because that is my job, and I did not judge her, because that is not my right.


seems that is why they are all here on this tired old thread.
it's come here or turn on each other !!

NOW THERE'S A VISUAL. LOL
Let's start a why do they thread!
Why do they make spice jar openings to small for a measuring spoon?

Why to they pkg 8 hot dogs and then pkg 6 buns? you never catch up!

Why does yellow mustard opening plug up and when you shake it, it squirts yellow oil?

Why do credit card cos send blank checks through the mail, forcing you to open all of it?

okay next?
You came in late on this thread so I
do not expect you to understand what was said. The person said they had no work at her full time job but sitting waiting on it? Then there was a part time job and finally full time school. Well, duh, why starve to "wait on work to show up" or stay full time in school when you can put together 2, 3 or 4 jobs and then there is full time pay.
Then why did you post on this thread below?
Why not just ignore the post? Most folks were just talking about what the OP asked about, and not really bringing politics or attacks into the thread. You incited an attack typical of ones on the politics board, which is exactly why many don't go there. For a lot of people, tomorrow is about more than politics for a variety of reasons.
The thread about the inauguration??
x
This whole thread is uncalled for

and you are no better than the ESLs.  In fact, they are doctors and you are just an MT. 


I posted in your thread below too, but
you need to get to a lawyer NOW (they will set up a payment plan, don't worry about that right now. If not, they will refer you to someone who can help you cheaper or free. Just GO.), and you need to file for divorce first. And you need to STAY PUT in the house with your kids. They'll make him leave, not you. He's freakin' nuts. You're married. It doesn't matter if your name is on the house or not, it's half yours. I've been where you are.... prepare yourself & be proactive.
I just got this new Dog yesterday
I just got this new Dog yesterday. She is so cute and good but is not trained yet. How do I get the dog to go to the door to let me know she needs to go potty? She is a sweet and very mild girl, gets along well with the cats and hardly barks. We only had two minor accidents yesterday. I could really use some tips. Thanks in advance.
Just yesterday my mom
and I were discussing dryer troubles.  Her quit working, she had a repair man take a look at it.  He vaccumed out all the lint and it cost her $150.00.  Then 3 weeks later, it quit working again.  Next time I will tell her to call you.
Went to the ER yesterday and they
said it was probably just a viral infection.  She is just in the bed sleeping on and off.  She don't want to play or do anything else.  She don't have an appetite.  She has been drinking pretty good though.  Popsicles is a good idea also.  I'll try that also.  Again, thanks so much for the advice.  It is definitely appreciated.

You should have been here yesterday
I live probably what is considered North Georgia but 19 miles south of Atlanta. The living is good where I am and the weather, about 60 yesterday and supposedly the same today. Our winters here usually mild, this year we have gotten down to the teens once or twice but nothing you probably see all the time. I wish we did not have tornados warnings here, scared of those. The weather in the summer can be HOT and humid normally. I would much rather have this than what I see with all that snow and ice. I only remember 2 times since the 80s of what you might term blizzard or icy conditions and even those gone in a few days.
yesterday's
performances, I would rather say that Danny will be voted off. Chris was really good last night and Adam will be the winner, he is just in another league.

They moved your thread and not my answer
I think it is Vanessa Carlton. Can't remember the name of the song now.
Because the rest of the thread was compromised & only the OP

From reading the whole thread, I now feel
very sorry for you and your family. I wish you had posted all your thoughts at the start. You are honestly one of the lone MTs who work at home for - no reason other than to stay away from coworkers, really is the sum of your logic. You obviously feel children are worthless burdens, along with housework of any sort, or caring for your family. So go out and earn the big $$ - guess you couldn't hack competing with the men in the corporate world. Obviously. Seems a pity, as you get to sit at home and hate everything related to home and family, while other poor humans drag their tired selves out the door every morning to earn a living, counting the minutes until they can return home, exhausted, and catch a minute or 2 of their kids and family life before passing out from exhaustion. Such is life...
LOL You think the person who started the thread

Bringing up the thread on NY bagels

before it gets * pruned *


I have a dumb question - - - - what makes a NY bagel so great??? I would think it is just bread dough formed in a circle....like I get at Albertson's or Safeway or Ralph's.


 


I'm so glad you started this thread
As I'm off today and can look up my comfort stuff and share and I know you'll like this one:


In C.S. Lewis's novel "Til We Have Faces," a character on the verge of meeting the "god of the Mountain" reasons bluntly with another, "Do you think it all meant nothing, all the longing? The longing for home?

For indeed it now feels not like going, but like going back." Elsewhere Lewis reasons similarly, "At present we are on the outside of the world, the wrong side of the door. We discern the freshness and purity of the morning, but they do not make us fresh and pure.

We cannot mingle with the splendours we see.

In the distance between what we see now and what we shall ONE DAY see is the longing that reminds us of home.

Some day, God willing, WE SHALL GET IN!



answer to your query is in this very thread....
 
Ahhh yes. I just posted in the thread below actually
about my experience freshman year of college. I went off to college, my boyfriend from the spring/summer went off to a different college (me to Illinois, him to USC!). Didn't take long before he bought a motorcycle, snuck back to Illinois on it, dropped out of USC, starting going to another school only an hour from me. One thing led to another, we kept traveling back and forth between our two schools and barely went to class, I had the experience I posted about below, and ended up leaving school. Twenty-eight years later, we have been married for 24 years but have big, big, big regrets about how we handled college. Boy, it would have been so much better to have not had that attachment when going off to school. This is the time to explore all opportunities, so I would say a broken heart right now is probably the better choice. It will heal, new opportunities will come along. If the relationship is meant to be, they will find their way back to one another down the road, but they both need to realize the importance of college and not let anything come in the way of that.
Here here! Great thread Luv to Laugh! Thanks!
 
The OP stated below in the thread that started this whole
conversation that he says he has told her "everything" he knows.  If that's the case, then why not tell her about his education.  She loves him, for Pete's sake.  He does sound like a wonderful man.  I just don't understand the secretiveness.    It's not like she is a casual acquaintance.  This is the person he has chosen to spend his life with, so why not share his life with her.  My husband didn't even finish high school but he didn't mind sharing it with me.  Maybe we're just strange, but that's the way it is at our house (been married almost 30 years).
