semi-formal. Eighth grade. Some girls are spending upwards of a couple/three hundred dollars on a dress (not counting shoes, jewelry, makeup, hair accessories), parents renting them limos, etc. You wanna talk excess???? This is just ridiculous!!!

I put a post on the regular board this morning and it was supposedly moved to the gab board. I do not see it. It was in reference to my mother and her illness and asking anyone out there to remember us in prayer. If they say a message is moved to gab board, where is it? I have emailed moderator twice and no reply.
re: previous post
Hi Sm!
Thank you and I did not take what you said that you were disrespecting me...thanks for the respect I appreciate that...I guess I was just saying that we live in a fallen world...it's just gonna get worse and worse...and there is a lack of self control....and lack of responsibility because we as a country are getting further and further away from the Lord and following our own ways like the Israelites did in the Old Testament and ended up wandering in the wilderness for 40 years because of their sin. God bless ya!
Sorry about the typos in the previous post!

She called just as I was going to post
She called to tell dh that there was no hay seed available at a distant coop or a local coop. I said he found some at a feed store. She said okay. She said she knew he was over at her place but she was too lazy to go over there so that is why she called. She did gab a while to me but the only men she spoke of going out there were men interested in her property, not her. She said some wanted animals but she did not want that because they get out, the jump on her cars. One man wanted to plant like DH is doing but he would have 15 to 20 guys helping him and they would drink and she turned him down. She has 2 young daughters to worry about. She knew dh would do everything himself. I told her, well, he may have me and our two little girls come and bring him cokes or food. She said Great that her girls would love that.
She has known dh for a while. DH and her ex used to be friends. Dh would help her ex care for their animals when they were gone. Her ex tried to get into a business with dh but thank goodness dh turned him down. He was a crook big time. It is a wild wild story about her ex. She did say that she remembers when dh and I were dating that dh would come over, he was so in love with me, talked about me all the time and that he just could not believe he had someone like me. She said she remembered feeling grateful that he was such a great guy and he deserved someone great too.
Well, I have got to go as I was planning on working extra today. I have typed this really fast and have no time to edit so please excuse any typos.
How did they find out he was going to her prom
in the first place?? I would've went & just not told them... I'm sure he can fight it and get his diploma if he's completed his academics though.
Any suggestion for after-prom b'fast menu?
My youngest son is a h.s. senior. He has been dating a girl in his class for a year. My older son has also dating a girl in this senior class for 2 years, so I've gotten to know this group of kids and their friends pretty well since they tend to hang at our house.
The kids are talking about coming back to our house with their friends after the prom. We have a big screen t.v./theater setup. They want to watch a movie, and I promised to make them breakfast in the middle of the night. I'm very happy to do this, since around here, the kids like to drive to the NJ shore after the prom, and that is not something I encourage.
So, I'm just sort of thinking about this breakfast, which is months away. I'm looking for interesting ideas to make their after prom gathering special, even if it is a simple back-at-the-house thing. I can do the usual things, but I'm looking for something that might really make the kids smile.
Took my son and some friends to see Prom Night this weekend...
the girl in the movie takes psych meds for various reasons. Anyway, she takes her pill bottle out of the medicine cabinet and there is a close-up of her pill bottle and it says "Klonapin." I felt like I was work QA'ing a report! I said "hey, they spelled that wrong." My son just rolled his eyes and said "mom, it's a movie..."
Just thought I would share how I can never seem to get away from work! 
she has kids, I asked about in her last post,

Ohio Christian school tells student to skip prom
FINDLAY, Ohio – A student at a fundamentalist Baptist school that forbids dancing, rock music, hand-holding and kissing will be suspended if he takes his girlfriend to her public high school prom, his principal said.
Despite the warning, 17-year-old Tyler Frost, who has never been to a dance before, said he plans to attend Findlay High School's prom Saturday.
Frost, a senior at Heritage Christian School in northwest Ohio, agreed to the school's rules when he signed a statement of cooperation at the beginning of the year, principal Tim England said.
The teen, who is scheduled to receive his diploma May 24, would be suspended from classes and receive an "incomplete" on remaining assignments, England said. Frost also would not be permitted to attend graduation but would get a diploma once he completes final exams. If Frost is involved with alcohol or sex at the prom, he will be expelled, England said.
Frost's stepfather Stephan Johnson said the school's rules should not apply outside the classroom.
"He deserves to wear that cap and gown," Johnson said.
Frost said he thought he had handled the situation properly. Findlay requires students from other schools attending the prom to get a signature from their principal, which Frost did.
"I expected a short lecture about making the right decisions and not doing something stupid," Frost said. "I thought I would get his signature and that would be the end."
England acknowledged signing the form but warned Frost there would be consequences if he attended the dance. England then took the issue to a school committee made up of church members, who decided to threaten Frost with suspension.
"In life, we constantly make decisions whether we are going to please self or please God. (Frost) chose one path, and the school committee chose the other," England said.
The handbook for the 84-student Christian school says rock music "is part of the counterculture which seeks to implant seeds of rebellion in young people's hearts and minds."
England said Frost's family should not be surprised by the school's position.
"For the parents to claim any injustice regarding this issue is at best forgetful and at worst disingenuous," he said. "It is our hope that the student and his parents will abide by the policies they have already agreed to."
The principal at Findlay High School, whose graduates include Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, said he respects, but does not agree with, Heritage Christian School's view of prom.
"I don't see (dancing and rock music) as immoral acts," Craig Kupferberg said.
No, he has a son from a previous marriage, but they have none together. nm

I liked the previous episode
when Christian 'pulled out his resume' at the dinner table. LOL.
previous cat allergies
My husband almost didn't date me because I had cats, and he was allergic to cats. Fast-forward, and once desensitized, he'd give you a limb before he'd hand over one of the cats.
Incidentally, my allergy shots have literally everything possible packed into them including cats. They don't bother me at all. Something to think about it.
I believe the previous admin said

All of your previous posts
showed such a concern for those less fortunate and you make a snide comment like that? If you don't need to "eek" or "worry", why are you wasting your time here? Go make some other poor slob's day miserable.
Vet called before and after surgery, and assistant called this
this afternoon. I cant wait to see her. She has only been gone for 1 day and as one lady stated, the house is empty. Working from home, I have become quite attached to her and her to me. Thanks for all the well wishes and Boo Boo Kitty thanks you too !!
had the man been there the previous time with his partner?

I have taken pics from previous gatherings
and bought cute pic holders and (like at Claire's and put the pic along with the gift care on that. Guess that would be more for girls, but for boys you, depeneding on their age and likes, you could put it in a baseball cap or something like that.
Clarification on the previous note
That is I am planning on rescuing 1 or 2 animals per month.
sounds like previous admin--they deleted everything

Just moved to new house. Previous owners had dogs that
used the basement for a bathroom! It smells to high heaven! Anyone know what I can wash the concrete floor with? Would bleach solution help with the smell without causing a chemical reaction with the concrete? Local building store employees just gave me a blank look. TYIA.
Previous not in writing/unclear.Give her the 2 weeks

It didn't work out due to combining of kids and step kids. nm
*
then what would be 80-100 be called?
Well, I, for one, am not 60 yet tho getting *there*, look 45 (with no procedures/surgery), and my family history is such that they lived long long lives (paternal side)....and I plan on working another 15+ years......
back in the days, 50-75 years ago the elderly then didn't live to ripe very old ages, really.......
what you have is called a
dependency issue- you do not feel well, your hubby has hobbies not at home (could it be another woman or women?), you are not secure. You feel like you have to rely on someone seemingly not there for you.
Well, they just called
and said both were negative. Thank God. What a scare.
So, when your SIL CALLED, what did you tell her?
Your SIL is not a blood relative, but as your brother's WIFE, she is entitled to her inheritance.
When my husband dies, I surely am going one of HIS HEIRS, even if he does not write a testament.
But I will make sure that he writes one and gives ALL TO ME AND MY CHILDREN, nothing to sisters, LIKE YOU!
I am so interested in this, your case, because I hate it when legal heirs are cheated out of their inheritance.
So what did you tell your SIL when she called?
You got your and their inheritance, so give it back to them.
Was it really $ 750.000.-- ?
Give them half of it.
My sister took the whole amount of my mother's money, but AT LEAST she told me about it, later, after she bought her apartment. I forgave her for this, because she told me.
PLEASE STOP MAKING UP EXCUSES AND I REALLY HOPE THAT YOU GET INTO CONTACT WITH HER, YOU CAN IF YOU WANT AND GIVE THEM THEIR MONEY.
Why do they have to be called old
f.... Did you ever stop to think maybe not everyone in life desires to retire? I can retire but want to continue working. It is not always a money thing. Also, when you said appt mixup happened 10 years ago and then you said staff overworked due to rising job cuts, what does the one 10 years ago and relate to each other?
I'm the one who usually gets called, rather than
the main reason is that my brothers & sisters all have *real* jobs, and can afford the long-distance rates. On the other hand, as an MT, I usually can't afford it. But it makes sense, because I'm always here, and it's almost always an okay time to call me.
I also tend not to call people anymore because for some reason, my phone-kharma is truly the WORST! In the past, when I've called friends or relatives at home just to chat and say hi, it just never fails - at the moment I called:
* They were having a huge fight.
* They were having sex.
* A pet just died in the kitchen.
* A relative just died in the living room.
* The house is on fire.
Even worse, if I call their cell, turns out they're:
* In an ambulance racing to the hospital.
* They're on the toilet, or throwing up into it.
* They're in labor.
'Ooops! Did I get you at a bad time?'
Everyone on here has what is called
FREE WILL. No one makes you accept a low paying job, no one makes you sit around with no work, you would have to prove fired because of offshoring. Everyone can turn down a job if they want but apparently the majority here accept what is dished out to them. What you just said does not hold water.
Not everyone knows about why he was not called
MJ when the person made the 911 call, in fact out yesterday heard lady talking on the phone and thought it very disrespectful that the person referred to him not as his real name, she said it twice, why would they not say MJ instead of guy (or gentleman)forgot which one they said. I heard TMZ was first to report first of all. That was who got the first shots of the ambulance leaving the house so maybe they had others checking out, following on motorcycles the ambulance and got the shot that way. There were shots of Princess Diane as she dying in the car after her accident so guess paparizzi (spelling?) most everywhere.
She already told me she called and they said SM
she can't until March because they already had a claim. They would be cancelled if they claimed it. It does cover it, though.
The ones from that site are called - sm
New Lifestyle, the Chocolate and Chocolate Mint are great. Vanilla is okay, Strawberry not so great. I bit the bullet and ordered 2 months worth, in the past I have gotten 2 weeks worth and alternate with Total Soy shake powder which I get at BJs which is the only way to get a good price on these things in bulk. But the NL shakes are only available from that website unfortunately. Cost about the same as Omnifast, Medifast, etc. but from reports taste a whole lot better.
Cats definitely need something called
xx
Update. I called the CPS
It is so hard to do that to your own family but the way she treated those kids is disgraceful. The lady that took the call said that they probably won't remove the kids from the home but they will check out the situtation and give the parents an alternative route to childcare and not to use the grandmother.
That's what they called him on the news!. nm
LOL
don't like being called "ma," too
I correct my son when he calls me that - he is only two. He shifts from "mommy," to "mom," to "ma."
Oh, yes, I remember what they called
winters, years ago, hardly have any now. We have both gas and electricity both here and I just try my best to keep the costs down. I told the people in my home where I moved from they could accept my own budget bils as they were in the 70-80 range, unlike the new home I moved to.
Yes and when she called all females, then
you would have mothers of boys up in arms, calling the teacher biased/racist/feminist/
segregating, whatever- it never ends. If you are having the males and females in class TOGETHER, then you cannot send 1 group out and have chit-chat with the others. If a child goes to all girl school, would not have the problem of talking in front of the boys.

This is what is called a ploy...
…You basically are being played. IF he has money coming, then until he got "the money" I would suggest if in a bind, he either got a loan from a company or a family member that he could pay back. You see, he is not intending to pay you back, really so he has come up with this song and dance about from somewhere else. I would not let it worry me for 1 second and why should you rescue him?? He should be the 1 rescuing. You can only be taken advantage of if you let youself be. I am telling you from years of experience, this man means no good and he has no other place, just trying to get you to break down and feel sorry for him. Get some sense, gal!
I think it is called denial - sm
There is no denying when you see an actual picture, however. Your current height and weight give you a BMI of 37.4, which puts you in the severely obese category.
I would say it's called having no life
nm
That is called fraud.

Mom called friends?..........who are these
xx
Thats a new one. Being called the "T" word for being
x
We used to do that, we called it junkin'
Then we'd load it up and head to scrap shop and "rake it in." We also used to cut grass. My Dad did hauling jobs and we got a pool table one time. He'd keep what we could use and the rest we'd sell at yard sales.
I just called and they said they haven't been
grrrr
It is called karma.

I had no idea what it is called, but between...
the two of us, we make less than $100,000/year. We have two horses. A 2005 diesel pickup that is paid off, a house, 2008 charger that we are ahead on payments on and basically buy what we want most of the time. My 2-year-old son has several thousand dollars in his college fund and we have a good little amount in the bank. I must admit, though, we have an oustanding balance of $200 and some change on a credit card and I have a student loan to pay on, but the card will be paid off this month and the student loan interest is 1%, so it would be smarter to put any extra money on the house or the care, first. I think that, for the most part, we do pretty well on not all that much.
