I am the midwife/MT and when I was a student/appprentice I told several mommies that were coming up due that they could have their babies on my b-day, which was also coming up. one was due like a week before, one the day of, and the other like a week after. well, all three went in labor on my b-day. by 6 pm one was in full-blown labor, one early labor (and didn't want us there until later). got to the first birth about 20 mins before baby, doing postpartum and a different mom (not the one in early labor) calls. we had myself and 2 licensed midwives there. myself and one left while the other stayed behind to finish up. headed to the 2nd labor, delivered and was doing postpartum when the 3rd (one in early labor) called and was ready. myself and the midwife who had stayed behind and now joined us then left to the 3rd labor in a row. my house was in between these two locations so i ran in at 4 am to change clothes real quick. mom was there with kiddos and said how did it go? i said great x2 and now on the way to the 3rd!! total shock, but they all ended up nicely and actually only the first made it before midnight for delivering on my b-day but had to give credit to them all for trying!! it was a very stormy night and storms bring babies, but i will NEVER forget that. i will no longer tell anyone to have their babies at a certain time and i watch very carefully what i say now. just wish i would get what i wish for when i say that i wish i would win the lottery would come true!!!!

I'm Irish, my whole life is a superstition LOL NM

My current cat doesn't watch much TV, but my last one liked to watch hockey. sm
He would sit in front of the TV and swat at the puck now and then. The only time my current 4-year-old cat watches TV is if the TiVo restarts for some reason and that little animated video comes on with the dancing TV and the loud music. He's fascinated by that and will come running to sit and watch it.
sorry for typo inside, correction inside this one
At the time I posted it was a 23-y/o Korean THE DETAILS of who did the shooting had not hit the newswires UNTIL THEN.
I actually watch Fox as much as CNN, but (sm)
I am a Democrat and I'm a news nut, so I pretty much divided my time between the 2 channels.
My only gripe with Fox is when they rag on other news shows and/or reporters/anchors. I find it pretty unprofessional, but other than that, I appreciate the diversity. And I'm a long-time fan of Bill Hemmer. I was pleasantly surprised to see him pop up on Fox ;-)
I only watch Fox...
and I am a Republican, but I don't think that's why. I like their whole set up as far as different shows all day and I enjoy Hannity and Colmes as much as The Factor. They do lean more conservatively, but I think they have a pretty decent mix of all points of view.
I don't watch much TV either
The number of commercial interruptions is something I can't stand - there are so many FOOD COMMERCIALS! No wonder this country has a weight problem. We are given subliminal messages to eat, eat, eat! I like Animal Planet and Discovery Channel mostly but that's about it.
why would you want to watch
it's the same dialogue day after day after day, with the same expressions day after day after day, do these people seriously go the the job site and read these lines and make these expressions day after day, what a waste of time when they could be doing something good, but worst are the people who sit and watch the same dialogue and expressions day after day after day, when they could be doing something good.
Okay, well I watch it
every day and have all my life that I can remember! I don't remember a Maureen, so when I read what I did, I had no idea who it was talking about. How did you know she had a connection with Amelia and Sam?
You better watch yourself!
I just may have to write you as well and talk about my favorite thing in the world! That would bring you into the forbidden chain! Thank you so much! God gave us these beautiful animals to co-exist with, and we can all learn so much from them. I just love cats as well. They are all different. You can have 1000 cats and 1000 different pets totally. Thanks again!
I will keep a watch out for him.
I will also see if I get CMT. Thanks for the info.
Don't watch it always but I really like... sm
The blond 16-year-old (can't remember her name), she sang "I love you more today than yesterday" and I also really like the guy with the dredlocks, but can't remember his name either!!
I watch!
I love history, thanks to some gifted teachers I had back in grade school. They told us that in order to understand and enjoy history, you must put historical information in context. That is, you need to remember the PEOPLE and relate to them. These were people just like the rest of us with the same concerns for family, home, safety, etc. So, I always try to imagine me doing the things that people in history did. If things were so bad in the U.S. today, could I fight to change and throw off that government, then work to build a new country? It's amazing what these people did.
So, I've always tried to imagine myself in the position of the people we learn about in history. I try to imagine life in their time, and try to imagine doing what they did in the current time.
And when it comes to David McCullough, I can't praise enough. He can bring history alive for even the most history-hating person. I highly recommend his book on which this series is based. There is far more detail. The series really doesn't show the depth of the friendship between John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. They were the fastest of friends and admired and respected each other greatly. That friendship developed during their time together in France, but that part of John Adams' life was only briefly shown. I believe the next episode will show how their friendship crumbled when they were President and Vice-President together.
Oh! I also have to admit that since I live in Philadelphia, it's very easy for me to imagine these events in the place where they happened. Back in the early 1980s, I worked just across the street and on the eastern corner from Independence Hall. Prior to the 9/11 security, I could simply wander in and out of that building, and all the other historic buildings in the area. I used to just sit on a bench and look at that building and imagine Adams, Jefferson and all the others walking in and out of the place.
If you really like American history, I also recommend McCullough's book on Harry S Truman. I downloaded it as an audiobook and listened to it on my iPod. I loved it, and I hear it is also in the works for an HBO miniseries.
How can you watch her do this?
It scares me just looking down there. Does it bother you. She's a cutie.
OMG! Watch this!

Don't watch much of anything then, do
Just kidding.
I don't watch much TV but when I do -
Tudor - I am hooked. I love the characters - especially King Henry ;-)
Also catch House and Red Eye. Don't watch too many shows because after awhile they become predictable.
Also, can't wait for the new season of True Blood.
let the dog watch you
When my teenage son picks on the dog, I just wrestle him to the ground and pretend to pound him into submission and I get the dog to join in. She still mostly avoids him and prefers me, but maybe when your son walked in, he was alpha, you changed the way you were behaving and the dog just picked up on it.
Snapping a dish towel on the head of your grown son can be really good for the soul!
Maybe this is where that one came from...(inside) LOL

chocolate/bannana pie. yeah sounds crazy but is really delicious. i found it at grocery store few years ago and everyone loved it.
take a graham cracker crust, slice banana in round circles and layer on bottom of crust. middle layer mix chocolate pudding and cover on top of banannas. cover with chocolate cool whip although i can't find chocolate cool whip anymore, you could probably mix chocolate syrup with cool whip to produce the same. top cool whip with rounds of banannas for decoration and grated chocolate and/or small squares.

Perhaps next year, you should ignore your ungrateful neighbors. Take those cards (and your kids) to a local nursing home and share them with lonely seniors. I can guarantee they would be greatful, and it would be a great lesson for your kids. Might as well share your kindness and caring with someone who will appreciate it!

I had very heavy bleeding during periods, would pass lots of clots. Also, when I would stand up, I'd feel a gush coming out. Sorry to be so graphic. I've heard that people have had a lot of pain with them, but I didn't. It was found by my doctor. He asked me if I felt that in my abdomen and I told him I thought I was just fat. My uterus was 22 weeks size.

Sometimes you have to unplug speakers and plug back in in order for your plug-and-play devices to register. You may even have to unplug speakers, restart and then plug in. If that does not work try restarting with speakers plugged in. I have had to do all 3 in the past. You could test them by plugging them in to a walkman or portable CD player. Might try Sound effects manager or sound effects and audio devices under control panel and go through a troubleshooting phase. I have a gateway and mine will only work in the "right out" plug.

The women in my family have used this for years for washing babies as well as our own clothes. My mother used for dishwashing. I am very familiar with its use, sorta like we have always used pressure cookers, some people scared of them, just things we have used over the years. Watch that toothpaste, though!

Too funny. Baby diapers and cut a whole out for the tail. You can get or make an elizabethan collar to put on her neck to keep her from tearing them up. (pic.) http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=15227&Ntt=diapers&Ntk=All&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&Np=1&pc=1&N=0&Nty=1
You can buy the cloth pants that they make for dogs at Petco or your local groomer

Attach with buttons or velcro across top and there is a slot on these for pads or you can use adhesive kind. Can't resist emailing a copy of one of my babies with Sock diapers. I keep my husbands socks if the get a whole in them from his steal toes. Usually in same place so I pull her tail through there. Designer diapers.

This site lists a lot of dishes down about half way, ingredients are listed below names so you can scan for cheese.

Couple more. 2 of these have cream of cheddar soup. Gives good taste without the harsh texture of some cheeses.

Not a prescription. Should be available in any vitamin department. Brand not important--I always just buy the cheapest! Pills/capsules are big though--I have to cut them in half--so also buy with that in mind. As I recall there usually aren't directions--I usually take 2 for first dose then 2-3 times a day for really no specific time period just p.r.n. (like when I start to feel the blister coming up again) and preventively (mine triggered by sun exposure so take after I have been out in the sun).

I find it odd that you go through all of this about not gifting and trying to stay away from materialism, it's not what it's about...yet you don't mention one word about the real reason for Christmas.
Sounds like you're just not interested in being involved in Christmas, not that you have a respect for the birth of Christ.
By the way, the reason for gift giving is the same reason He came to us -- to give a gift. :)
Nothing wrong with buying gifts. It is not materialism. It is celebrating by giving to others, as He gave to us.

Maybe he misses you. Maybe he was just relieving some pressure. It's not that bizarre. Maybe you should tell him that you're there and available, and you wouldn't mind a morning romp or nooner yourself. You'd be surprised what a healthy bedroom life can do for a marriage even when there's discord. Guys feel closer to their women when they're getting some, but I understand how difficult it is as a woman to be physical with a guy when he's completely ticking you off. DH and I have figured out that when we get jerky toward each other, it's because we feel that one of us is carrying more of the load or not getting enough support from the other. So we try to make time to do something together even if it's just talking or going to lunch.

If the cat is going to be totally an inside cat, I think it is okay. . I don't think their should be too much pain associated with it - certainly not for 2 weeks. . But if the cat will be outside at all, it would not be a good idea, as it would have no way to protect itself or climb a tree to get away from dogs, etc. .

You all condemn Done's husband, though we do not even know what he wrote in this 'notorius' letter. How can you then judge and label him?
I said it already before, some people - I am not referring to Done - perceive even constructive criticism as abuse.
For instance, if a person is obese and somebody tells this person who cannot stop eating...'I think you should really lose some pounds...'
Some people call this 'abusive', 'rude', insensitive, etc.............

Is he being picked on in school? Sounds like there is more going on. Especially the part about him saying he is fat and then not liking stuff the week after you bought it, makes me wonder if somebody has made fun of the clothing/shoes and now he doesn't want to wear them. Kids are ruthless and mean. I would try to dig deeper. My heart breaks for him. I hope he feels better about himself!

My daughter (now 19) has always had more guy friends than girls mostly because she does not care for the drama and backstabbing that many teenage girls engage in. What I would take into account is how your daughter acts around these boys--how does she dress (my daughter is an athlete--no low-cut shirts, short skirts, etc) and what are her mannerisms (too flirty or just chillin as friends) or do you see something more--watch the behavior. Have always welcomed all kids to hang out at my house--even though it has driven up my food bill--because I feel that way I know what they're doing, hear how they are acting/talking (they can forget you are around the corner), and I get to know who they are hangin with. As time goes by you can get to know who a lot of the kids are in your town including siblings and parents--have always made it a point to network, network, network--soccer games, helping in school, etc. Always offer to drive too--they will also sometimes forget you have ears up there in the driver's seat. I like to remind my kids that they don't know who I know so they should keep that in mind when out in public because you never know what could get back to me.

I bought our Wii when it first came out, preordered it 2 years ago. My son got braces earlier this year. The orthodontist does not offer a payment plan so those thousands of $$$ have gone on the credit cards. it may have been a bad move to set up myself to be in debt like this but as my child has a very bad overbite, buck teeth and teeth behind each other I considered it a small price to pay for help with self esteem issues.
You will also note my original question did not solicit advice on what to do with the system. This is my son's decision, not mine. I was asking this to cover all of my bases BEFORE I retrieve the system in less than 2 hours from now.
By the way you sound very generous; I hope if you win anything you can give it to charity. Maybe you will win Powerball one day!
What I can't understand is this: If my son were to win $250 the replies in this thread would be very different. No one would suggest he give it back to the orthodontist.

If you're feeding your dog commercially bought dog food, Purina supposedly puts stuff in the food to make the poop easier to scoop (i.e., firm).
If you're feeding your dog regular food, try feeding him hamburger meat mixed with cooked rice for a couple days. That's what Granny used to do with her little white poodle that followed her everywhere and lived a nice long life.
Thanks!! see inside
He's 10.
He doesn't get residuals or anything, the contract i signed said it was a total buyout. But the fee he was paid was enough for gas back and forth (it's an hour and a half away) and food, plus I told him he could have a game he has been wanting.
He has had 3 agents for a while but this is his first real job so i'm hoping this will jump start his career!
No - I did not watch the trial
start to finish, as I had to work. I lived in LA at that time. I think the timing of this was crucial - just after the Rodney King debacle. I think Johnnie Cochran was very charming and had that jury in the palm of his hands. I think the investigation was botched. I'm not an expert on the trial and it's true, I don't know everything about it, but just my opinion. Even if he didn't do it, who in the heck would write this kind of book - it's just distgustingly insensitive to the victim's family, who think he did do it and who were there from start to finish.
I don't get to watch Dr. Phil much, but I did --sm
happen to see the same show you are talking about. It was VERY eye opening. I felt so bad for the woman who was involved with this scammer. It is much the same as women who get *involved* with men in prison. All these men want is money and they do not care who they get it from.
Even if the mom has no money, he does not care. His *anger* is just a ploy to make her feel guilty. I can guarantee that he has no son, he is not who he says he is, and he is probably in the middle east somewhere, as I do believe the man on Dr. Phil was in the middle east and tried to pass off his accent as from somewhere else. Please don't be too hard on your mom. She is vulnerable and *love smit*, but she needs to know the truth. Perhaps contact the Dr. Phil show and they may send a tape of that show, or he may have some personal advice for her. Good luck.
I like to watch sports... sm
I like pro hockey and the NFL. But are they overpaid? OMG yes. I can't believe what some of those guys get to hit a ball or tackle somebody. It's insane. Not to mention the special treatment they get when they break the law. Anybody else would be sitting in jail for some of the stuff they get away with.
I do not watch AI except very, very rarely, BUT.....
I have 12-year-old daughter and I feel she is just as entitled to vote as I am (if I voted which I don't). This is America and we all have rights no matter our age.
Now, if older people are playing games with the voting, that is a whole other story and AI should change their voting policy somehow so it is fair and the most talented person wins.
No, I asked did you watch all of the
case when it was on, all.
