That made me laugh.
You are right about the gorgeous doc. My old OB doc years ago was so gorgeous. Beach bum, bleeched hair, dark skin and just gorgeous. I only saw him once. Not kidding. Couldn't go there.
I hope your hysterectomy goes well when you have it. My best friend had one 6 months ago, and fortunately she was able to have a vaginal hysterectomy and not abdominal. She was fine in a couple of weeks. Mainly just sore. Lots of good thoughts for you.
Made me laugh. When I go in for my
BP check, I will use that line, but will say it is my
husband's driving.
Thanks for the funny.
That made me laugh...
The image of 2 little girls standing there with switches in hand, crying after a fight...funny! Your dad was right on the money though, smart man!
Oh, you made me laugh!!!
Thanks for that. I can just picture myself doing that, too. 
Made me laugh...I like those panels but...
I think I'd like them for the living room. He doesn't like the light coming from behind the curtain.
What I have up blocking is that material you mentioned but I stapled it. I tried using sticky tack stuff (poster tack) but then I just stapled it one day. Maybe I'll try the Velcro.
And I did think maybe one day I would try to make the roman shades, I've seen patterns on craft shows.
thanks for the ideas and g/l with you nightowl.
you made me laugh Bella
When I read the subject line, I thought wow what a bad attitude that is, then I read your post and realized you must have mistyped it. LOL,. Sorry about the baby, it stinks when our babies are ill, especially at that young age when they cannot really tell us what the problem is.
LOL! This post made me laugh SO much.
I have been known for doing the creepy crawly dance myself. But picturing this in a public place full of people, well I just think that's hysterical! Thanks for sharing!
You made me laugh out loud!!!! nm

This one made me laugh because bear was one of the best
meals that I've ever had. One of our scout leaders is a hunter, and brought a bear tenderloin on one of our camping trips. He marinated it in Italian dressing and then cooked it over an open flame on a grate. It tasted very much like beef filet. He had enough for every boy in the troop to try a slice or two, and they all wanted more, including our VEGETARIAN scout! Our vegetarian actually hates veggies, so his diet is mostly bread and cheese. When we got back from the trip we told his mom, "Good news! Your son has decided that he likes meat. Bad news is, you're going to have start bear hunting!"
So, this is the only time I've had bear, and I'm sure the tenderloin is the mildest cut. But it was dee-lish quickly grilled with a simple marinade.
That made me laugh because my sister and I STILL say that SM
when we mean DIRECTIONS.
Once again, you made me laugh. Ever thought about being a comedian? sm
Acutally you all ready are, but how about professionally.
That picture made me laugh. My son lives with me and has a pit mix. This is what she would do to
my couch if left to her own devices. I see a couch and she sees raw materials to be dismantled and fashioned into her own comfortable nest. Thank God for crates. How can they be at once so lovable and so maddening?
Received this email and made me laugh out loud! Hope it does you too! sm

This post made me laugh and then brought tears to my eyes...good for you!!!
I think that is great you went to the school. I'm guessing he will turn out just fine if he's got a mom like you! *Hugs*
I was the first girl in the county play Little League - made the All Stars too! Girls rule! Also..
that very same year I won the county spelling bee! The word I won it on was "ptomaine."
One other special thing happened to me that year I got my ears pierced and hit a home run on my 10th birthday. I swear it... I totally remember touching my little gold studs before I got up to bat and then "crack." Even the people that didn't like me playing because I was a girl had to cheer. 1978 was awesome.
My grandma also played baseball during WWI.
This thing is not connected to the above, but I am related to Martin Van Buren, 8th President.
My family made home-made mozzarella,
and it was very good. I was pretty small at the time, so I don't remember the exact process, just that it was done pretty quickly, and a lot of milk was used.
I don't know if you'll save a lot of money making your own cheese. The cost of milk is very high, too, and you need a lot of milk to make cheese.
R u in Texas?

Same here! Texas and
hot! Can't wait for the window-opening weather!
Where in Texas? I'm in far
north Texas. Just wish my kids could see real snow! Hayseed, it does sound beautiful there! I worked for a company in Maine and got a lot of information and it just sounded sooooo beautiful! But here I am in Texas, no snow, just ice here and there!
OP in Texas, isn't she? Anyway, that's what
xx
and in Texas
 almost 70 degrees and I have been out walking in the sunshine!
I'm a Texas
 girl too - in Fort Worth, where are you??
New Texas Rule
 I for one am so glad I do not live in Texas. To force someone to take a shot like that! It should be the parents who decide. I have suffered from cervical cancer and no I do not want my two daughters having this injection. We do not yet know enough about the side-effects and long-term effects of this new drug.
Do you live in Texas? :)
a
Southeast Texas?
.
I'm far North Texas
so that wouldn't work for me, but thanks for the info! Sounds like you got a great deal.
In that case, Texas ought to be against also
because their capital punishment rates right up there with Florida and I would bet Texas is definitely into whuppings!
$3.41-3.45 here in West Texas. I have been
checking out yard sales for a bicycle. Not just about gas, I need to loose about 50 pounds plus all these short trips to the store is hard on the vehicle anyway.
$2.06 in fort worth texas
Down from $2.15 last week.
Texas beaches suck.

Blue Ridge, Texas
School is out this Friday and my 2 kids will be home and I have to start getting up earlier and working in the early, early morning and late evenings!
There was a hospital here in Texas that called 911
It was a physician owned hospital. The story was on CNN. A man had back surgery there, had some sort of bad reaction to the anesthesia and the wife herself had to do CPR. The surgeon walked in and told her to call 911.
The hospital has been shut down.
Texas-mine started
back today
We live in North Texas
and have been here our whole lives. Have visited both CC and Galveston a lot of times. We're thinking of moving closer to one of them, maybe on outskirts somewhere, but are just wondering pricing for homes or even just land to build on. Any idea if is it way high because of beaches?
Texas polygamist compound
what's with the ladies and the hairdos - you know those pompadours. Anybody know? I know there are more important things in this case, but it just strikes me. 
Yes, big Texas accent & proud of it.

I live in West Texas
Like Texas...a state of mind! :D :D nm

I do not live in Texas but after reading your post, let me say
you do NOT have to have sex in order to get cervical cancer. I personally do not feel this is a message for kids to have sex. I have a daughter who is older, out on her own and she would have to make her own decision regarding this. If when she was growing up IF she had come to me and said she wanted birth control, knowing this was probably what was going to happen, i would have taken her to get this. I would much rather have a child on birth control that have a bunch of kids brought home to me to have to support and care for. I had my children and raised them, didn’t need any more. You can talk to children regarding this but eventually most will make up their own minds as to what they want to do, not their parents.
I'm originally from Binghamton, but I live in Texas now.

Where r u at in Texas? I live here too and argue with 50% of their rules!

Exactly. Plus, don't people realize that Texas is weird?

Children in Texas finally reunited
I was pleased to hear the children from the Texas ranch reuinited with their parents. I could not figure out how the state could come in and remove the children without solid evidence of abuse. They said they received an anonymous call from some girl who claimed she was an under aged bride? However through the whole episode never once did this so called girl come forward. I believe this was all a smoke screen so they could go in and disrupt this religious group. They were not doing anything wrong. They were living in the ways they believe is correct, just like any other baptist, catholic, or any other religion lives. If it has to do with taxes, health care or whatever that should be settled in court, not yank their children away from them. I have no doubts that if it was a baptist or one of their religious groups that they belong to none of this would have happened. I am just pleased the children are finally reunited with their parents and it sounds like they are reaching some agreements to make sure the children will be safe "if" there is anything harmful going on. Makes me even more glad I don't have children knowing that they can just be "ripped" away from me without a legal reason, but that's just me.
A very small town in West Texas
I live in an 890 sq foot rock house. I am guessing at the sq foot actually. It is close to 900 but not quite there. It ihas 2 bedrooms, 1 bath. Metal roof. I live close to the schools. I live 2 blocks from the local hospital. I just applied for a job there in fact. I worked 8 years for a big 300-bed multispeciality hospital that was 35 miles away. I left because of the climbing gas prices and I thought I needed a break from the office politics. I started working for an on-line transcription company and for some reason just cannot seem to produce the lines or make half the money I was making at the hospital. I have been here 6 months already. I applied to another company to try my luck there and they offered me a job but I read in the paper yetserday this little hospital here is hiring. They do light transcription, filing, I forget what else it said. The best part is I will have benes. As I was applying a nurse recognized me and was telling me about them and they have improved since I worked there 10 years ago. I hope the pay has as well and I hope they still like me. LOL.
I live in Texas and have had scrapple for breakfast before.....sm
I haven't seen it around lately. We have something down here that is similar but for some reason it really grosses me out....hog head cheese.
Do you live in Texas? Our electric bill
for our tiny 2 bedroom house, trying to keep from running the air conditioner too much, using spiral bulbs, turning everything off as much as possible & being careful, is still about $250-$300 in the summer months. I don't know why some states have cheap electricity and some are so high! It's crazy.
Corpus Christi Texas - 150 miles of beach...
sand is very hard though....LOL - and since I was there, I heard they built up that city. I was there in the 70s but I remember what a GREAT time we had (a bunch of us) and how laid back it was.....bring lots of sunscreen/block as it's subtropical sun there as is S. Florida.....and for west coast of Florida, Naples, Fort Myers, Sarasota, Tampa, Clearwater
Upper Texas coast, Houston area. sm
Now living in Austin near my daughter and grandson. God bless Texas! :)
New cervical cancer injection mandatory in Texas next year
Just heard starting next year in Texas young girls are being ordered to get the new cervical cancer injection, just passed by the governor of the state so I am sure there will be a lot of talk about this.
What would you all do? My SIL is making my DH attend my nephew's HS grad in Texas this June...sm
We live in Illinois.
He would be taking my youngest son with him also. The total cost of the trip for the two of them would easily be $2000 since my DH does not get paid for taking time off work. If he takes this trip that would mean no vacation for me or my other two kids next year since that's pretty much all we can afford is one vacation a year. She is insisting her only brother (DH) be there at the actual ceremony which is on a Tuesday evening. Then afterwards they plan on going out to dinner to celebrate - no party that would be it.
I would rather we go the following week, drive the entire family and stay the week and celebrate the whole week with them. My son graduates high school in two years and I don't expect her to be at the ceremony for that. We probably wouldn't have enough tickets for her anyway.
DH doesn't have the guts to tell her "No" since she's laying the guilt trip pretty thick.
Do you think we are obligated to go to the ceremony? She has more than enough family members that live over there that could attend (grandparents, aunts, uncles, her other children).
Thanks for any input.
Forget what Texas beach bro. visits, but at low tide he says you walk out in knee-hi ...sm
water for a long long ways and water is clean and beautiful. Can't remember the name, but it's about a 3-hour drive from San Antonio. I'll see if I can locate it. They go there all the time. nm
