in your monthly plan. I have 1,000 minutes for $55, just got rid of land line 2 months ago and am very close to going over at a charge of 40 cents a minute. Geez. Guess I need to upgrade my plan.

I wish we could all go the week of the graduation but their graduations are always a week earlier th
ours. So actually all three of my kids are still in school this week while all of hers will already be out. My youngest is actually missing school to go but my two older kids have finals so they can't go at all that week.
Thank you. I guess I'm just trying to find a nice way to say it without causing friction and keeping the peace.
My DH is your typical male, just deal with it when the time comes whereas I want to take care of things right away without hurting anyone's feelings.
Running...
Isn't it funny how one subject will lead into another? Do you mind if I ask you questions? - like, how long have you been running? how far do you run? How long did it take for you to get motivated to keep it up? I joined a women's run/walk clinic last year and really enjoyed it but it was in the evenings and I had other things going on, work, etc so didn't get to do it but for just a few weeks. I've wanted to start running but just haven't. They've even put sidewalks in our neighborhood now. I don't have any dogs to run with although I might could use that excuse to the hubby to get one. I can't run on a treadmill for some reason - the flooring is too hard on my feet? - i can run on a cement track though and it doesn't seem to bother me. TIA!
He had the running fits and
loved to ride the trains and probably knew loads of people all around the country so I have first hand knowledge of not always a down on your luck kind of deal. He came from a wealthy family (his grandmother gave us stock in General Motors as a wedding gift- years ago when it was worth a lot) and there were physicians, ministers, teachers and the like. He had a degree in refinishing autos, had good homes even with my brother and at 1 time my mother AFTER our divorce - the entire family loved him but that is what he wanted, left the homes and stayed out there until he really aged. My son and his wife got call from shelter asking would they take him in and the ahelter paid his 1 way ticket to their home and he has been there now for the last, oh probably 4 years. It was his own choice, never anyone elses and know from experience you can be homeless by your own doing.
Thanks everyone! Running to the store to buy
stuff now. By the way, she's 8. Sorry, I forgot to say that before. Thanks again!!
tell her if she does not stop running she will not sm
get to go with you anymore. Find someone to watch her and stick to your guns. kids need and want consistency. Make it stick.
re running to get keys
to go outside -- if you have to get keys first -- what are you going to do in case of a fire? If you have keyed dead bolts, you ought to leave them in the inside of door for safety.
Get this one, ad running here in town
It is a person supposedly in medical field and she is saying got a job at XYZ and says "see what X college have done for me." I want to call the place, tried to find a number- is that the way you want to be represented? Terrible English.
Thanks - they are running a special
It's for 11 pieces including brushes, video, etc. I'm starting a new job in a couple weeks and if I don't get it by then I'll check out WalMart. Thanks for the tip.
That ad has been running for almost a year in
our newspaper, also with the "must order within 48 hours." When I saw that, it rang a bell for another heater I did buy and was I ever sorry.
I would have checked out the company claims a little more before jumping on something like that.
Another point: You will not get the amount of heat you do with wood. Can you possibly convert your wood heater to coal and wood or even pellets?
We used wood for 20 years (Fisher stove) and I, too, was tired of getting up in the middle of the night 2-3 times. I begged for central heat in our new place and boy, was I sorry. I was always cold (for 10 years). So, last year we bought a used coal/wood burner. What a difference! I'll never go back to central heat again. That stove heats our 1500 sq. foot home and I'm never running around with sweaters on anymore. I don't have to get up in the night to fix it, either.
My son bought a pellet stove last year for his 3 story home. They love it and don't use their central heat either. It does cost a few bucks more for the pellets.I think he bought $1000 worth, while we only spent $500 on coal and the wood is free.
Just remember when others are running you
down it is something wrong on their part that they would do this. Strange but sounds sorta like you married your father with the lecturing. Good men are out there. Took me forever to have a true love.
if you want to keep the car in good running condition. nm

Running over a dog and leaving the scene?
Going on her merry way, shopping or whatever...?
Probably doesn't have animals; I agree.
I think I am running a doggie day care here sm
LOL I have 2 dogs of my own a golden and a cocker. My son and his girlfriend magically get this chihuahua (sp?). Anyway, he is apparently abandoned by his owner who moved to California and said she would be "back in a couple of months" to take him back. When he first came into the area, his owner had a "party" and the puppy who is all of 7 months old got into some pot and ate it-had to be rushed to the vet for nasty temperament changes, and wow talk about mean. He bit anything and everyone including me at least 3 times. Well, we have all been working very hard with this little tiger to bring that demon temperament under control and he's coming along quite nicely, gets along with all of us, loves to play with my dogs and run in the yard. So what's the problem? I think I have spoiled him with love and discipline. He has to come over every day now. It's so cute. All my son has to say is "want to go see the dogs?" and he's jumping all over the place. I sure hope the owner doesn't come to claim him back because he is so well behaved now. All he needed was a little discipline and letting him know he can't run the show. He doesn't even bare his teeth at me anymore. He's such a doll. All the dogs lay in front of the full-view door and take their naps in the sun.
I could see kids running through the house with sm
pieces of chicken I guess - and little greasy hands touching everything. At least with spaghetti they might sit at a table - my opinion only -
Love doing that when I am running late and
need to fix something quick.
On 60 minutes I think it was
they did a story on diamonds once and had some identifying mark or word etched on a diamond they were using. You could only see it with a microscope I think, or maybe a jeweler's loop, but interestingly the jewelers who were switching the diamonds out were not aware of the mark until it was shown to them.
3 minutes? LOL!! (nm)

I saw that a few minutes ago...
isn't that just awful.
80 minutes
With medical transcription, I have found that 1 minute is approximately 10-12 lines on a 65 cpl basis.
What kind of people are the ladies above running into
I have never had anyone question why I was married or not, why I had 1 child or 2, why I this or that. Where do you live to have questions put to you like this? I live in the deep south and I am an older person and I just do not get questioned like this. My business is mine UNLESS I volunteer it.
I call ahead and ask if he's running late.
They'll usually tell you. Then I get some other errands done. They have said that if he gets caught up in the meantime you will have to wait.
Funny, but I find the earlier I arrive for my appointment, the earlier I get in. They must take arrived patients in if the scheduled appointment is late.
do you have any loose neighbor kids running around?
lol .... never know... my neighbors little boy last year took his crayola scissors to my hosta's.....geeze
Regret not running off with my present husband who used to be my
friend. Yes, my friend and my late husbands friend. We started dating after the other died and if I had known what he was like then, would have left the husband and the kids behind. Never have known such happiness in my life. I wasted years and would like to have those over again- life goes too fast to waste time.
all for the sake of media, once again, running lives
I never started watching this useless gimmic of a show; typical media crap that it is.
I have sat here with tears running down my face, astonished
I had already heard the buzz about Simon talking about this person but had not seen. What an absolute joy to hear this. I thank you so much for sending. I will definitely forward to my daughter first and from there it travels on. A true jewel, she is.
Is this your Einstein-kitty running the printer?

Running around barefoot ruined my feet
Now I have to invest more money in Birkenstock's because arches have fallen. As a person ages sometimes those really good feet might come back as oh, my aching feet.
Just typed this a few minutes ago...
She has not ever committed suicide, but it is on her mind.
Good grief!
On Fox news just a few minutes ago sm
Man upset with his supervisor and shooted him. LOL--poor grammer for the whole world to see right on national TV. What is this world coming to? 
I use the treadmill 45 minutes a day
plus snow ski when the weather permits.... susan
Did you watch 60 minutes
What about the man with his theory of cancer? I think it's worth a try.
I use a TracFone. I pay only for the minutes I use. sm
I have a landline and DSL that costs me $70 a month. I need the landline for my computer. I am not too trusting of the Skype, Vonage, etc. You lose your power, you lose your phone.
That said, I use TracFone. It is probably one of the first ones made as I can't take pics, or 2-way, or do any of the fancy stuff. However, I have never had it let me down by not having any coverage and the calls are always clear as a bell. I would get another cell plan with more bells and whistles, but I just can't see being tied to a 2 year contract with hefty penalties for early termination.
TracFone also has some awesome deals on minutes, phones with lots of features, etc. The nice thing about a TracFone is that if you run out of minutes, you don't lose your phone number. And they also have coupon codes you can use to get extra minutes, or an extra phone, etc.

I caught about the last 15 or 20 minutes. Can't hardly
wait until next week. Maybe House and Cuddy will finally get together.

That song drives me crazy! It keeps running through my head!
`
Okay good news first, the running will stop at some point.
My youngest (3-1/2 now) did the same thing, and my 5-year-old never did either. I was mortified with his behavior and the worst part was my dh thought I was overreacting. Then he took the kids to the store alone one day. He came home and said "Wow Tommy is naughty in the store", well duh!!!! that is why I look like I have been through a battle when I get home from the store everytime. At about 2 1/2 he started listening and got psyced about holding on to the cart with mommy, or even better riding in one of the "car carts" that they have at the supermarket. But anywhere that he needed to sit still for I just ended up finding a babysitter until he was more calm (around 32 months).
My 5-year-old starts school this year too and she is having the same issue. She is not a shy girl by any means,but she is soooo worried about K. I think it is normal and I am hoping that she will be okay once she gets there and is involved in the activities.
Sorry I guess this was not really much help, except to know you are not alone.
I meant to type that for scars which we got a lot of from running around and falling down..the
lemon juice really works very well for fading scars. I will admit that there are some things on the market today that are really good; but from a personal (and financial) standpoint, what I learned from my grandmother does work very well for me. All you ladies have a good weekend...
I have an elliptical machine, 30+ minutes a day...
on that and I have a Pilates machine, try at least 3 times a week on that for 45 minutes.
The last 15 minutes of Grey's Anatomy??
I missed the last 15 minutes of Grey's Anatomy last night and thought they would rerun it tonight like they usually do, but it wasn't on. So, will someone please let me know what happened? I turned to it to see Christina freaking out and Meredith cutting her wedding dress off of her, but I have no idea why this was happening! What happened to the wedding?? Thanks in advance!
Lysine--works within minutes (nm)
I just saw a few minutes of her. It was such a struggle just to talk.

I live 45 minutes from Pittsburgh!
too bad we were not closer for a bike ride! I was just thinking I need to get acquainted with people that love biking and would love to stop for lunch and a cappuccino at a coffee shop on a chilly day! I live across from a great bike trail at a metropark and rode today for 1 hour. I plan on longer rides this weekend. it sure does beat sitting at a computer all day.
350 degrees - 25 minutes per pound SM
Put a rack in the bottom of the pan so the meat is not touching the liquid. Put about a cup or so of water in the bottom of the pain with some cut up onions and a little salt and pepper. Place the roast on the rack, fat side up. No need to cover the roast if you want a good crusty layer of fat on the meat. This also keeps the meat moist. 
That is so sad...it actually happened about 15 minutes from my house...
so sad....
Literally within 5 minutes of my post
the vet called. He knows this dog very very well. He feels that she is truely missing her mom and said that since she won't eat dog food and I am just going to have to give her people food. He said basically just set another place at the table. He gave me some suggestions on what to feed her and didn't want her just trying to exist on "snacks". We talked at lenght about her blood sugar and gave me his home number. He really is a wonderful vet, we take our animals to him so he is very familar with our family. I feel better now that I have talked to him. Thanks for the replies.
About 10 minutes away for me....I was a block away last night.

Greta is covering it on fox in 8 minutes
I will post if I hear anything
I watched the last 15 minutes last night, s/m
I was completely disguisted by this. At the end, they show that the 2nd wife leaves him and then the 1st wife divorces him and is now remarried. Just from what I saw, I would have cringed watching the first 45 minutes of the show.
I have a Tracfone and don't like wasting my minutes....
I have one of the original TracFones and my fingers are too fat to text. The keys are too close together, so I don't bother with texting. LOL.
That would be why I would need a full keyboard if I were to ever get a lap top. LOL.
Dark Knight. First 90 minutes okay, but after
