one learns an awful lot in their young years, true?

there are MANY schools of thoughts here - NONE OF THEM BEING RACIST...none of these posts appear racist in my mind....it's all in how one interprets the posts.
One learns much in kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades...good and bad things alike.......
let's all agree to the ability and maturity to disagree on things without spatting, eh?

I am some years your senior, but still young looking and seem to SM
be attractive to men. However, I found that men felt they had been there, done that. . . and the only thing they were missing was what you pointed out. I literally met a man who was married and divorced five times. Thanks, but no thanks. For me he HAS to be a nonsmoker, very occasional drinker, etc.
My sister and I agree that after we were with a man a time or two it already became quite evident why he is divorced. I know this is not always the case, but very often it is. I met a man one time, and I must respect this, who told me sadly that he had the most wonderful woman in the world and he cheated on her and lost her. He said he takes 100% responsibility for the breakup. He said it was the worst mistake he ever made in his life. There are exceptions to every rule, but more often than not I found the ones who were looking for one thing and had no desire to begin again and have a future with someone.
Happy birthday! You are 40 years young.

I quit (I am still fairly young, so only smoked 8 years), but
I feel so much better. Even if someday I get lung cancer despite having quite, I am thankful to not wake up coughing every morning and to have clothes that don't stink and to be able to tell my kids not to smoke without being a hyprocrite. I can tell them why I quit. Mostly, I just feel better for the time being and that is enough. Plus, I save A LOT of money because cigarettes were darned expensive in Washington state.
That is definitely not true - just many years experience
definitely does not make a *quality* MT. I've been in QA management for many years now and some of the worst MTs are the experienced ones who have the years in but have obviously been *under the radar* for most of their career, not being checked or found out, etc. And, I might add, I was a *quality* MT from day #1, maybe a lot more blanks back then but the quality was always there. ; ) Perhaps a CMT can determine once and for all who the better/more knowledgeable MTs really are. If I owned a company, I would only hire CMTs. I have seen way too much garbage from the supposedly seasoned MTs.
The one where the dog learns a new trick - how to
I think they're advertising for Stanley Steamer Carpet Cleaner -- and the dog has his butt spread on the floor and is pulling himself across it and the kid yells -- mom look the dog's learned a new trick and the mom totally freaks. Absolutely love that commercial.
My favorite commercial that isn't on anymore are the identity theft ones by citibank -- like when the 2 old ladies are on the couch and making the driving noises and the one says - that was fun and the other one says- yeah (with a southern drawl).
it will work at what cost? Your child learns to

That's exactly what I said - how awful
Wow, that's awful!
Hindsight is always best. If I had it to do over again...nevermind. I could see from the very first CASA report that she didn't like me and thought the ex was golden. If I said the sky was blue she reported I "alleged" it and it had yet to be substantiated, if he said the sky was brown she reported it as complete fact that she herself had verified. That kind of biased reporting lets you know right then she's your enemy.
That's awful
Thank God I never had that. I've never had any problems since the tubal. Hopefully the OP's doctor will tell her all the pros and cons before she makes a decision
OMG - that is awful
Okay, I'll quit griping...your situation is much much worse. I don't blame you for not wanting to leave. You were there first, and he's your dad. She should go. I really feel bad for you. I guess unless you own the property all around you, you just get stuck. I'd love to move to a 55+ community as I know the neighbors would be quiet, however, got 7 more years before I could do that. I hope things will work out for the best for you.
Isn't it awful
I was talking to my DH and told him (it is actually his half-brother going through this), and he agreed its hard to know what to say because his brother laughs about a lot of stuff (serious stuff and makes jokes out of it). So we have decided a sympathetic uh-huh is probably the most appropriate. I can't even remember how many stupid things I've said over the years. - Oh here's a winner for you....years ago everyone was down at our place for my grandmother-in-laws memorial service (didn't even have a funeral but that's another story). Anyway...we were in a restaurant and the seater was so slow...I'm talking about slow...looked like she was walking in slow motion and it reminded me of what my dad used to say when people moved so slow, which everyone always laughed and luckily for me this time they did too. Ready for what I said. It was "my dad always tells me that these people have died but they haven't realized it yet" Talk about an ee-gads!
Wow - that's awful. I am so sorry you are going through that. sm
I am imagining my now 8 year old daughter acting that way one day (I pray not!) but I think I would have to get very tough on her. I would sit her down and say, "look, what happened to my daugher? Do you understand how much I love you? Because I love you so much I cannot and I will not let you ruin your life. It is my job to protect you and to raise you so that when you leave this home and go out into the world, you are as well-prepared as I can make you. Because of that, I will do WHATEVER I have to do to protect you. If that means putting you in rehab, so be it. If that means taking your car keys, fine. Whatever lengths you decide to go to to destroy yourself, I will go to to try to prevent you from it. In the end, I would tell her, it is her choice, and that even if you do all you can do, she can still choose to ruin her life, but when she does, you will know you did all you could to prevent it.
It's about 25,000 here and it's awful
you would think that being in a small town has its benefits but it doesn't. There is no work, people are getting laid off. There is no industry except a couple grocery stores, restaurants, and things like oil changers, Staples, etc. But not the kind of industry that produces anything like computers, TVs, etc.
Anyway...the crime rate is skyrocketing. There is no college, so the kids are graduating from HS and "hanging out" all over the place. The drug problem is getting so bad. They even have special Meth squads, but the problems are not getting solved. Additionally our "wonderful" town decided to vote against any funding for the police or fire department, so our jails are closing down and the police are being cut in half (think we will have maybe one or two POs for this area). They are letting the criminals out of jail and they are roaming the streets because they can't afford to keep the jails open. People are being robbed in the middle of the night by thugs who just break into the house and are so bold they don't care if anyone is home. The conveinece store 2 blocks away from us has been robbed a few times and when we drive by there are a bunch of "hoodlums" (for lack of better word) hanging around the outside. Drug addicts and gangs are now walking up and down the streets in front of our house. Nobody in our neighborhood talks to each other. So we're looking to move where there are more police and people are willing to pay higher taxes to keep the public a little safer.
This would be awful.
I had a patient with a fourth degree laceration after giving birth, which caused her to lose all rectal sphincter tone and she had no control over her stool or flatus for 3-4 weeks, until she underwent repair. She had also developed a massive infection from the original repair. Yikes.
What an Awful Thing
I'll be praying for your kitty Alice. I lost my own cat a week ago today, not due to food poisoning, but old age, and I definitely can feel your pain. Please keep us posted.
The big company I used was awful.
Different people every time and they used a special schedule they could not alter when I had a special request. An individual would be more flexible, but make sure they are bonded and paying taxes so you don't run into trouble with the IRS.
wow. awful sight.
`
My punctuation was awful there.
Please excuse.
Wow - no not that extreme!! That's awful! (sm)
He's controlling and he is old fashioned and patriarchal but he's not completely insane!
These stories are just AWFUL. :(
Don't people realize family members can leave us forever in the blink of an eye? Life is WAY too short to put golf or shopping or anything such nonsense before visiting family. Man, even if it's only for an hour or two, it can really make their day. How horribly sad.
Oh gosh...that is just awful...
my husband's 25-year-old cousin actually hung himself last year when my son was almost 8 and we had an opportunity to explain the situation and let him know that he can come and tell us anything without judgment...we owe our children as parents to be open and honest with them!!!
All the time and it is awful. If I take something for it s/m
I am dragging most of the next morning. Wish I had a good answer for us.
Jeez! Awful! ...sm
I don't have a 401K though because I am a IC. I am saving though and I will open an IRA one day. A lot of people are losing a lot of money in their 401K.
What awful things to say
Maybe you shouldn't own any animals.
Man, was Sanjaya awful last night!
I was glad to see that Simon finally acknowledged what we all know is going on (voting for the worst) when he said it wasn't funny anymore and they were seriously trying to pick an American Idol. I also found it funny that Ryan felt he needed to step in when Simon was critiquing Sanjaya. Why? He wasn't saying anything he hadn't said before, or anything he hadn't said to other past contestants. I liked the fact that Simon motioned Ryan off the stage, because I felt Ryan was out of line and should just let Sanjaya take his lumps.
Hopefully it will be Sanjaya tonight, but who knows. Maybe he will at least finally make the bottom 3. I think it might be Chris. I was disappointed with Lakisha's performance, and I thought Melinda did absolutely awesome.
Especially that awful show "Cheaters"!
xx
Oh, how awful for you. I hope you can get it settled.
I'll be thinking about you today. I have an 11-yo too and this just hurts my heart.
No need to compare notes, she is just awful to buy for so
I told her several times to send me a list with no response. I just decided toheck with it and then finally heard from her. I told her NO problem, no list, coal and switches and I really meant mine!
It's awful when children are sick
I hope he feels better soon.
Muskrat Love...just awful...nm
Anybody else having an awful time financially?
I can't even pay my rent on Friday because my check will be so small. I am so tired of being stressed about money. Have tried to find a job outside of this field, but no such luck.
LOLLLLLLL! They're both awful.
NM
She sings awful anyway. I never understood
how she got that far in the first place. Scott either, for that matter. He's nowhere near the caliber of singer the rest are. But I'm glad she's gone -- she was so annoying. Was she wasted last night?!
Poor child. It's so awful when children have to go
through something like it. Just said a prayer for Matthew and his family. I pray that things will get better for him and that his dad will realize what a blessing he has in his family.
I'm 40 and my production in the early a.m. hours is awful
I can't really get going until around 9:00 or so. I go to bed around 12:30 and get up before 7. Guess I need more sleep too.
Anyone every break a blood vessel in their eye. I just did and it looks awful. nm
:
Agree, he is awful. I just saw this on the Idol site...
where they have all the contestant question and answers. Check out what Sanjaya said.
Q: If you couldn’t sing, which talent would you most like to have?
A: Singing.
LOL! That says it all, doesn't it. I thought it was really funny :)
I still believe that article about the India votes is true and that they are all voting and trying to make a statement. Plus he is the current pick on the www.votefortheworst.com website. He could possibly win this thing! Now that would be really funny. Yikes!
That is just awful, well I'll be praying for your kitty!
I thought what a weird thing to happen. Who in the world would do such a thing? I'm not real up on it because I fortunately had not given our cat any of the listed foods. I sure hope your kitty pulls through. God bless his/her little heart... {{hugs}} to you...
Horror movie ads, especially that "Hostel II" one! Awful!
I'm a wuss anyway, and then add in all those horrible images and flash them around till I feel like I'm going to get a seizure or something. Shudder!
The girl in the kitchen telling her dad how awful it all is...
and then her mom gives her money in the other room. That one always cracks me up.
Try some low-fat vanilla soy milk in your joe, Hayseed. Awful at

I agree, and began in JULY!!!...awful now...
though I do cataloging sometimes..........seems more this year than ever....
but you buy from one, they sell your name, lists of names, and is how you get so many......
Seems awful strange your sisters coming out - sm
out with this 17 years later--- do they have a motive? Do they want your marriage to break up for some reason? Would they band together and lie to make you miserable? Any bad blood? I find it hard to believe a 20-y/o guy would try to seduce and 12 and 8-y/o-- unless he is a pedophile--I know guys can get freaked when a baby is born, no sex for six weeks and all that, but still find this hard to swallow. In any case your trust is broken, you need to go to counseling. I would not trash my marriage over it though especially if you both still love each other and it is a he said/she said thing. It is hard to believe someone would make up such a story, but then again why did they wait 17 years to come to you with this info, that makes your wonder too, what do they hope to acheive by making you miserable and possibly a divorced single mother? You are in a lose-lose situation no matter what you do. If you stay in your marriage your sisters will never forgive you--- how have they been acting with him for the last 17 years, seemingly okay, or aloof, etc? Look at everyone's interactions over the years, it may give you some insight. In any case, counseling is a must, if he won't go, go without him, but if he wants to help restore your trust in him, he will attend. Good luck.
Yeah, Gwen sounded awful - sm
wonder if having 2 kids changed her voice or something or else she was having a really bad night.
The judges picked awful songs all the
way around last night, I thought. None of them were suited for the songs chosen for them & they were bad songs... And speaking of judges, I hope Cara or Kara is GONE next season. She gets on my last nerve.
The pill always made me feel awful - does Depo?

It's awful! I used to live in NY. Avoid it at all cost on Black Friday!

Too young for both
"If an 18 year old isn't mature enough to handle a beer, I dare say he isn't prepared for what killing another person could do to him."
Which is exactly why the military wants them at 18 rather than 21.
2 is too young.
He'll let you know when he's ready.
2 is not too young.
Both of my boys were trained before they were 2. I attributed that to the fact that I only used disposable diapers when we were not at home. All over the world, babies are toilet trained before they are 2. Human beings can learn this basic control very early. This is a fact. In the U.S., disposables are part of our culture. And since their introduction and widespread acceptance, the age at which American children are toilet trained has gone up. Then "big kid" disposables were invented, and now it's not uncommon for kids ages 4 and 5 to still have toileting issues. Others have posted here that their children trained once the pull-ups were stopped. Most people don't like the feel of being wet or soiled. When that is part of the equation, children let you know that they are ready to train much earlier than ages 3, 4, and 5.
Still think it is too young.
God forbid we let our babies be babies.
If they are terrified of the potty chair, they are too young.
