That one can really burn ya up! LOL

I really don't think I will burn in hell for having some
tombstones and a zombie on my lawn. My heart is right with God, not that it is my neighbor's business, and I just happen to make Halloween fun. Halloween is what you make of it. Not everyone is going to agree with me, but you know what? After talking to countless people about this, my things are going back up Friday when I have time to put them up. There is not one person in my neighborhood who has a problem with this, just my busybody neighbor. Thanks for all your input!
Matches... no don't burn them
About 25 years ago, my 5-year old son had really bad warts, not plantar warts though, but he had them all over, arms, hands, legs, everywhere. Before he was to start kindergarden his pediatrician wanted to remove them, maybe about 25 in all. Ouch.. I felt so bad for the poor little guy.. anyway an "old timer" told me to get kitchen matches... the old fashioned kind with red tops that you can strike anywhere.. and to soak a few in some water and then to paint the warts with that... well I did it, but was very skeptical and over the summer the warts just dried up and went away. Don't know if you can still get old fashioned matches, maybe at an oldtime hardware store, etc. It may be that they had sulfer in them and this might have been the "magic". Whatever, it worked for him.
I don't burn candles from Yankee, but
I use those wax tarts in a tart warmer, and I found that the ones from Yankee smell the longest. They give off more of a smell in your house than candles do. Plus you can get an electric warmer, so you don't have to worry about the flame if you have animals or such, as I do. Works much better for me, just a suggestion.
I agree, but it could be burn out, because it sounds

Not together I hope.. you could burn something important LOL
I burn Yankee Candles
Right now I have one going in my office that is called "beach towel" and it smells like the beach on a hot summer day! (I'm in denial because I live in New England and it's cold here now!) In my living room, I am burning one called "chocolate chip cookie" and it smells like just someone is baking cookies! I love it! I go to Yankee Candle about twice a month and stock up! I just got about 5 of their new Christmas candles that I can't wait to burn.
Only on very bad days. Either burn candle or

Hey, I think I'll burn really tall
candles under my mailbox. Then all the bills and junk mail will burn up before it gets into my house and makes messy piles, LOL.
How efficient. :o)
Doing a slow burn here, going for the jugular
i was so involved, thought i had found some people i could trust and started an animal rescue group with. I paid the expenses to start with the understanding that i would be involved as far as being able to go to rescue animals and basically spent time interacting with them. Oh, believe you me before I did this I got this in writing with the person I was starting this with. Since January of this year when this was first started I basically have rescued about 10 cats and that was about 3 weeks ago. I went along with my coperson but she was always the one picking the animals out. I was happy to go but seems like that has suddenly dried up now since she is up and apparently making some money. I made it clear I did not want any money they might make from the sell of the animals, I was only happy to get them out of the places where they would be put down. Well, so much for MS Nice Lady. I have called her twice over the past 3 days, sent her an email asking her to call, called another lady she heavily works with in this rescuing and no answer at all. I have smoke coming out my ears. Just imagine, about 3 months ago this same person asked me to cosign on a vehicle with a person I had met 1 time for them to transport animals up north!! Well, duh, do I look that looney to you. Not only that, but then 2 months ago this same person came to me telling me she had her electricity turned out, forgot to pay her bill and wanted to borrow $500.00. Even though I am what you call a senior citizen (and when I take her behind to court, that might also work against her) I told her no way was 1 month bill that much, had to be more than 1 month and maybe she should ask her mother and/or father for that. No way Jose was I giving any money, for the animals yes, for someone who conviently forgets a bill, nah. Has anyone on here ever put a lien against someone else. This person does not have a job but has a home. I do not know if the home is in her name but I have just printed off several sheets from Craig's List where they are offering the animals for $125-$200 so she should have some money by now. She is incorporated now but when we signed the agreement she was not, just us starting out. I would think with her being incorporated and selling the animals she should also have books to show her income and such. I am going for her jugular and no more Ms Nice Nice. I am ticked. Thank goodness I have saved any and all receipts I have pertaining to all the animal care, food, etc. etc. that I have paid out.

cool baths burn with fever
I discovered cool baths really burn when you have a high fever. Maybe tepid to slightly warm may be better.
I can't burn scented candles in my house because it will

Dear Next Door Burn other neighbors down also
You should not have a fire blazing out of control- we have woods right behind us that basically connect. Oh, I was the one who called the fire department on your blaze. Against the rules here in the community and the city as far as that is concerned. Talk about loonies- maybe that is why I do not talk with you.
Well, it's gotten cold enough to burn the fireplace. I'm in northern AZ. How bout you?

Do you burn candles or other scented stuff while you work?

I burn those Yankee tarts in my tart burner
right now have Christmas Wreath in to get me in the spirit. I think they give off more of a smell than the candles.

I gotta tell you
The way the past few years has been for me financially, I have often thought if I were young, I might just do that!! I can definitely see how it is enticing for young women. (And men will always find SOMETHING to be perverted over anyway!) Lol : )
Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go right now...
So I have been diagnosed with an overactive bladder (you know like the pipes commercial). I thought I had bladder infection or UTI starting this week. I went to the doctor yesterday and had to give the sample, but it all came back negative. Doc. stated clean as a whistle so I said what is going on? All I feel like doing is peeing and when I go most times very little comes out. He tells me sounds like you are suffering from an overactive bladder. He puts me on the generic form of Pyridium (phenazopyridine) and says takes these, but states if I finish and it is still bothering me, I need to see a urologist.
Has anyone else suffered from this before and what can be done about it? I am at my wit's end. I had this a month ago, too. I am terribly uncomfortable! The pills help a little, but still driving me crazy! Doc. stated anyone can get this and there is no real cause they they know of. He did mention stress, and I have been under more lately. Anyone else out there got any advice. My first thought is I have something major wrong with my pipes like a tumor or cancer? Any and all thoughts appreciated. Thanks!
I agree - gotta be more than pot...
gotta be sweet!!! nm
Yeah, that's gotta be it...
Cause stuff like the OP refers to doesn't really happen right? You wish...if anything, the media downplays the evils of our society...sorry to burst your bubble!
Gotta be cheesecake,

Gotta love it here in GA
They say if you don't like the weather in Georgia just hang around, it'll change, and boy does it ever change! It's sooo windy out today and COOLLDD...just yesterday it was in the high 60s-low 70s...just peachy!!
I know. .. I gotta admit It got the best of me and I HAD to SM
post that. The DEVIL made me do it!!! LOL! Thanks for appreciating my humor!
lol gotta have that pumpkin pie!
that's great that your niece is doing that. I'm sure everyone will tell her how perfect they are, even if they are terrible. lol My 10yo "made" the pies this year. I just supervised. I was quite surprised he wanted to help. He was hesitant on making the pie crust and kept wanting me to finish it for him but I stood ground and told him he couldn't possible mess it up and that I wouldn't have given him the option if I thought he would fail. He's very proud of the pies now that they are done. Even said he'd like to try the pumpkin this year! I dont' think he's ever had a bite of pumpkin before.
you gotta make your own
Take it to a mechanic for a full point inspection.
You gotta understand, I have been seriously
thinking of avoiding her, for some time now, not the other way around. I just asked her the other night how she would feel if I was not around her and she said she did not want that. I have been thinking about avoidance now for the past 2 or more years. I am not changing my spots this late in the game. I think the best thing to do, if I am causing distress to her and she feels like that, then for me to go my way and she go hers. On us going on out of town trip her exhusband was supposed to keep their dogs they had when married. Up until the last minute when he called she had made other arrangements for dog care. He told her then he did not call her because of her attitude. Seems like it might not be all mother issues, huh? She was really hard to live with growing up and I thought, and my aunt told me she probably would mellow with age, just aint happened.
Constructive criticism...gotta luv it!

What is the song? I gotta check this out. lol

Alrighty now "Dreading it," Now you GOTTA...
post this picture! I think you're lyin' though. ;-) You're probably quite beautiful but keep downin' yourself just because. I have a friend who does that and I wanna smack her!
You want fugly? Here ya go my dear!
Seriously ERMT? We gotta hook up then!
I'm just outside of Bangor in Newburgh, oh Exit 57 I think...I can't remember since they changed all the exit numbers a few years ago. Gettin old. I was asked my phone number the other day and I was like, "Um...durrrr..." Sad scene all around. Breakfast at Dysart's some time perhaps?
I gotta go with the American Pie movies
Especially American Wedding when Stiffler eats dog doo! These movies make me pee my pants -- speaking of which, my fav romantic movie is Pretty Woman - that's her line in the opera scene when she tells those old biddies "it was so good, I almost peed my pants."
My best friend loves Grease, too. She knows every single line (which can get quite annoying).
Mortgage? You gotta be kidding. - sm
Dont know 'bout the rest of y'all, but I live in a very tiny apartment. My car is 13 years old, and is going to have to last me forever. It guzzles gas, but it's paid for. I never eat out, I eat 2 meals a day instead of 3, and I buy my clothes at the Goodwill. A vacation? Fuggetaboutit! A 'vacation' is when I occasionally allow myself the luxury of watching the evening news on TV.
Gotta admit -- I was a little worried
Not because I doubted their abilities, but because it seemed like in the first rotation or 2, they were showing some serious bias to the Chinese. Shawn Johnson's balance beam was way better than Ying Yilan's and yet her score was ranked higher (not talking about the difficulty value, just the execution score) Even the commentators last night were talking about it. Nastia's uneven bars got a lower score than it deserved as well. I'm glad to see the judges got their heads out of their you-know-whats for the last 2 rotations and gave these girls the scores they deserved.
I do feel somewhat bad for the Chinese girl, though. I hope she doesn't lose a few fingers or toes over this. Of course as young as she is, I'm sure she'd recover quickly. That's something else that seemed strange to me, the American girls seemed very emotional and yet the Chinese - nothing (at least not last nice). Could that be because our girls have a few more hormones running through them, like any normal 16-year-old would? Hmmmm
Scary - you gotta be kidding
Lol - that's the most ridiculous thing I've read thus far. Scary?? Well, I guess most of the men around the world are scary then - ha?
A gross subject, but I gotta ask --
My son is 11 and the last few days has had a few "wet farts" -- there's no color to it, but enough to soak through his jeans. He didn't even notice it, said he didn't feel wet, but we noticed it and so did another child at school. At first, I thought he just sat in something wet, but when he came home from school with it, I took a second look at his jeans and noticed the position of it was more in line with "an accident." He says he doesn't remember passing gas. There's a slight discoloration to it and a slight odor.
I've never had this happen to me personally except when I was getting over diarrhea. Has anyone else had this happen without being sick? Any ideas on what could be causing it? I'm hoping it's not a rectocele or IBS.
Gotta be desperate for drugs. sm
Probably cocaine, powdered or even crack, but it could even be meth. It's the classic presentation--the insane behavior and desperation to get money to buy the drug of choice after being deprived for a couple of days.
You're right, best to stay away from her for good and change the locks on your doors or she could well come in while you're gone and steal everything that isn't nailed down to sell. Addicts do that all the time. So yes, please change your locks.
You cannot help this woman. She has to want help and get it for herself. Same with alcoholics, but alcohol is benign compared to cocaine and meth, and costs very little.
Oh Lordy, too funny! I gotta tell sm
my son that one! I have some goodies that I cannot post on this board. Maybe I will send you an email? They are pretty gross.
Gotta give 'em credit though, ya' know...
Not many people would take that plunge!
Gotta love The King of Queens! : )
