Craig Ferguson, Late Late Show
Such a great interviewer and SO handsome!
What would you do if your doc was always late with an appt and you were late arriving?
Took my daughter to our family doc today - we were late a half hour but this doc is always at least an hour behind in seeing patients.  I have been going to this doc for 15 years and love him.  The last time I saw him I waited over two hours.  The receptionist reminded me we were late (geez, as if I didn't know that already).  I apologized and gave her the reason why.  She then said "they would try to fit us in."  After waiting for an hour, I asked when did she think we would be seen.  Another 15 minutes went by and we were called by the nurse.  After waiting in the exam room for over a half hour, I took my daughter's chart with a check for our co-pay, brought both to the checkout desk, and then left.  I realize emergencies do come up but I feel my time is money as I work as an IC and with sitting and waiting for the doc to show up I'm losing money.  I'm already thinking of changing docs but this one is exceptional.  Maybe I just need to vent.  Any opinions or similar experience?
When in doubt VISA gift cards
They spend like cash. You can even spend them online.
If it was a VISA check/debit card she will get -sm
her money back, don't know about other "brands" though. Someone stole my number from a BJs database and charged about $800 worth of stuff in another state quite far from us, of course the money came right out of our checking account. I went to the bank, filled out a zillion forms and had the all of the money back in 24 hours in a new checking account. That is total bull that she won't get the money back, the bank should guarantee it. One of you should definitely look into it and make some noise so she gets ever penny back.
huh? I have a debit card, not a visa, mastercharge....
and I cannot charge on it - I can only get $$ off it - and use it anywhere they accept debit cards (Walgreen's, etc) but not in dept. stores - only to DEBIT my card - never to charge.  The bank always tries to solicit me with a Visa or Mastercharge debit card and I constantly cut them up and send them back to the bank - I don't want another VISA card (already have three, two of which I never use) and so I ONLY want a bank debit card...WAMU is the bank
You can get Visa, MC gift cards at banks. Then no

you're lucky you can control yourself with the ol' Mastercard and Visa - I can't
I had to sell my house once to pay off my debts, and then I was still paying on them.
School's right, late is late. However...
*if* these things were legitimately said, about your son and your "bad parenting" particularly, I doubt you would be here posting. You would be contacting the highest school official you could right now. It sounds like you are rallying support over feeling chastised and exaggerating, frankly.

As for the book report, if your son needs to do it instead of the play, he also needs to be able to approach the teacher. I find it unlikely a 2nd-grade teacher would assign a book report, then not explain it in any way. Most 2nd-graders are doing fill-in-the-blank book reports on forms the teacher provides. Is it likely your son should already know this?

About being late, it doesn't matter if your tire was flat or you drove in a fog or it takes you 40 minutes. Children are to be at school on time.

Stop making excuses. Get the children to school on time. If someone lost their cool at the school and said these things, you have legitimate grounds for taking the next step. You are wasting time and energy whining here.

If you are not happy with the school, take your children's education into your own hands and educate them yourself, via homeschooling. Then your children don't have to be in lock-step with all the other little soldiers the schools are raising in their institutional setting.
At the church I used to attend --

they instituted a "reform program," whereby the associate pastor and elder members of the church agreed to take in single men who were recently paroled.  They dressed up and brought them to church every week.  They were introduced when they first came, but nothing was mentioned about their "crime life", etc. 


My point is, to the newer church goers, these men seemed like perfectly respectable church-going men, all the while they weren't.  Please keep this in mind.


Thank you, Lilly! Unfortunately, I do have to attend with him and the other gentleman
because of the nature of the conference and both of them are the district heads. However, although I do believe he is a very kind and respectable person, I feel a bit too vulnerable at the moment to go it alone, so I contacted an MT I know from the area we are going to and she is going to meet me for dinner that evening and show me some of the shops. This gives me my "out" not to have dinner with them and also to stay within my boundaries.

I am a widow, so these feelings are more to new to me than I can actually express in words, but it has been a long time since I felt that comfortable around a man since my husband. However, as many of you posted, the timing is not right and I will not compromise my integrity as a person. I have faith that God will guide me in the right direction and I am happy, in a way, to know that there is hope that I will feel those "feelings" again with another person, although this is just not the one to be feeling them with.
oh but he did attend 4 yrs of school in Korea

Do not do anything else until you attend marriage counseling - sm
You owe it not only to the kids (who did not ask to be born into this) but you owe it to yourselves to seek marriage counseling before just deciding to up and divorce without seeking outside professional help.  Until you can say you tried everything under the sun to make it work and can truly walk out the door with no undone and unsaid business with your husband you are not even ready for divorce.  Give it a try.  I have been down this road before (but for other reasons) and can tell you it turned us around.  We are celebrating 25 years this September and have never been happier.  Best of luck to you both. 
Spiritual in other ways aside from God. Don't attend church.

Daughter wants to attend birthday party

My daughter is 10 and her friend will be 11.  Her friend has been to our house numerous times and she is a SWEET girl.  HOWEVER, her parents and their home is incredibly dirty.  Don't get me wrong, I'm not a neat freak myself but their home is filfthy, as are they.  Took their daughter home one day and they came outside, along with one of their younger sons who was in his underwear that looked soiled/brown/gray.  Her mother seems nice enough but I get the feeling there is some sort of mental illness going on.  Every time I've been around her I can tell she has major hygiene issues, built up plaque on her teeth and dirt under her nails, dirty clothes, etc.  I'm not trying to be judgmental; I just don't want to allow my daughter to go to their house.  Her friend is more than welcome here.  I'm concerned this is going to possibly cause friction with the girls.  I've talked with the mother of another friend in the group and she understands where I'm coming from, as she feels the same way.  Wondering if any of you may have any suggestions for me.  I know the girls are getting older and I'm sure my daughter's friend is realizing that her friends aren't allowed to her house, yet she can visit them.  I really feel for her and I wonder how many girls will actually show for her party, yet I don't want to run the risk of my daughter coming home with lice or something. 


 



Do you attend a local state fair in the summer? How far
s
I homeschool my daughter, but allow her to attend public school for the SM

social aspects.  She is way ahead of her grade academically.  Eventually, she will either be homeschooled exclusivelly or I will enroll her in a magnet school or alternative school.


I think in this day and age parents should plan a way for their kids to attend college (sm)
$1000 a month is nothing compared to what it actually takes to raise two kids.
Do you attend any free local concerts in the summer? Are any offered
s
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. 


Ours attend local college PT and still live at home. Hard to make ends meet "out there" on
s
got here a little late - but I can tell you why
she is doing it - it will only happen around mating season - she sees the reflection of herself in the door, grill, whatever - I have even known of hubcaps - and thinks it is a rival.  It looks painful - but she will do it in anything she can see herself in. 
Try this if not too late
Same kind of thing happened to me recently. Do you have access to an ATM? I went at 11:00 at night and deposited just enough (6 bux). It stopped a check from bouncing the next day. Maybe I just got lucky but couldn't hurt to try!
Never too late - sm
I am going back to school and I'm 39. I will be starting my first classes for winter quarter. Should have done it years ago but.... doing it now anyway.

I'm nervous and excited.

I say GO For It!
Take her to your PCP now before it's too late

Then have her committed to a drug rehab.  This is going to be a long road but unless she gets away from the friends who do the drugs, she'll never get off of them.  She needs help sounds like "yesterday" and I wouldn't hesitate to have my son or daughter tested and committed.  Sorry you are experiencing this. 


At least a "f-u" is something and she's not totally blocking you out, but she'll need your support. 


I think Im late on this, but...
Why no culture and sensitivity? Thats just crazy. That should have come first and you would probably be better by now. Go and get it and get started on an appropriate antibiotic. I hope you feel better soon.
It only takes once.. and it's too late

Children have been severely injured and decapitated by passenger side airbags even at low-speed accidents.  Google airbag, child, decapitation.  I wouldn't chance it even once. 


Sorry to get back to you so late, but
Noah was lying under a bunch of bricks, etc from the collapse. He was not awake.

I would hate to see him go. He is a cute kid. I like him. Yes, only soap world but feels like real life sometimes.
after first late check.
x
1st late check
Yes, but Dummy me signed a one year contract I could not get out of. Trust me, I was working THREE jobs to try to pay my bills.
Think it is a little late in the game
because at 22 she should already pretty much know how to manage. My daughter not only paid did all the bookkeeping for our family but had her own job, own car, own this and that, very self sufficient at that age. This is something you start prior to her age of 22.
Sorry, late when I posted
but I am talking about plants to grow inside that have some fragrance, nothing that takes a lot of babying because not much of a green thumb here. I have loads of green plants but just would like to have some really nice-smelling ones. At my previous home I had gardenia bush right outside my door and so sweet during the summer. Any ideas?
Well, it's never too late to fulfill
those fantasies. What are ya waiting for? lol
Two dogs and my late cat sm
My late cat's name was Mochi, which is a Japanese sticky, usually sweet, white rice.  She looked like that when she was born, she was born in a Buddist temple alter, and was born after the New Year.  My two dogs are Pili Pa'a which in Hawaiian sort of means stuck to you like a buddy and Hoku Kea which means white star (she is white and her name at the pound was Star). 
Sorry to jump in late, but something else to try...
Massage therapy! I go every week, but during my PMS days (and I get it BAD!!) I make sure I tell my therapist (been going to her for over 4 years now and she really knows me) I am having PMS. She does some extra focus on my head and neck area for that session and I promise you it helps relax me more and does take some of it away. One time I went to her with severe cramps in tears and shaking with pain and they went away completely before I got off her table. She also tells me to focus on my breathing when I find myself getting bent out of shape. Easier said than done, I know. Best of luck to you. :-)
PS - I'm in my late 50s. (But feel 25).
;)
Diagnosed with this since the late 80s,
in fact I went in and told the doctor what to check for, had the classic symptoms, intense itching (waking me at night with urge to scratch), terrible coldness all the time, having to sit under blankets. Mine now has turned into Hashimoto's thyroiditis, I was told just a few months ago, thyroid totally gone. Now with the Synthroid, I told my physician did not want to take any more, loss of hair really bad, heard Synthroid noted for that. I asked and now on Armour thyroid and seems like loss is not as bad but still some. People on here have posted against Synthroid.
Sorry to chime in late, but YES! :-)
I have shipped cats from overseas when I moved, driven in the car 16 hours nonstop to get them to their new home, paid $1200 in a nonrefundable pet deposit, let my husband go to Guam for 15 months alone when he was in the military because I refused to put them in quarantine for 4 months, and spent probably 15K on a cat with chronic medical problems over a period of 4 years to name a few things, so I most definitely can relate with you. 
maybe a late bloomer? lol nm

As of late, "is in" always comes out..sm

"i sin" and the MS Word will change it to "I sin" - like I don't have to be reminded!


I can stay up as late as I want to - I go to bed between around 1:30 a.m.
I hated going to be early when I was little. Now 40 years later I'm rebelling.
I think we have all waited too late
to take our money out of the market. We probably should have made the move a year ago. I don't know what to tell you to do. I guess it would depend on the amount of interest you would have to pay on the loan. I think it will be several years before the market recovers.
It's a little late but I would make
a ham, take it over and say that you got it for free for spending so much which most grocery stores do now. I would play stupid and say I wasn't sure if I could freeze it or not and didn't want it laying around. Takes both of you off the hook.
You came in late on this thread so I
do not expect you to understand what was said. The person said they had no work at her full time job but sitting waiting on it? Then there was a part time job and finally full time school. Well, duh, why starve to "wait on work to show up" or stay full time in school when you can put together 2, 3 or 4 jobs and then there is full time pay.
You need to send a wedding gift if you attend the wedding - sm
If possible you should drop it by the brides or grooms house, etc. so you don't have to take it to the wedding, and so they don't have to worry about transporting the gifts from the church or the reception. You should always send a wedding gift if you attend the wedding though.
coming in late on this topic
I'm the grandma who has custody of grandchild. My custody papers allow 2 visits a months with the parents and more "as agreed to by both parties," but all are supervised and no overnight visits. I will not allow either parent into my home, so we were meeting at a fast food place with an indoor playground.

Because of suspected (and now admitted) drug use, I suspended visits until a clean drug test could be produced. In a few weeks, it will be a year. I talked to my lawyer about this before I suspended visits. I could not withhold visits due to failure to pay CS. I could be held in contempt of court and go to jail. However, since no judge is going to say it's okay for a parent on drugs to visit with the child, that is a different matter. In only 6 months, the parents are behind by $6k...I'll never see any of it.

My attorney told me the only way to withhold visits is if there is a situation that would place the child at risk - child abuse, parental drug abuse, sexual abuse, etc., otherwise you have to follow the court order or go back to court and ask the judge to revise the order with documentation of the reason for the request.

The noncustodial party can always go to court and ask for a revision of vistation as well to get more liberal visits.
Oh, I have a dirty mind or its late or

same in my family. gray comes in late
My mom is in her 70's and only has gray streaks in the front. My paternal grandmother was 88 when she passed away, and she still had mostly black hair. I've always said the same thing about dying gray hair! I'm going to wait until it's mostly gray and then try out some funky colors!
I hate to say this, but you must be older. I am in my late 30s. We have 3 sm
kids together. They love him. Living away from their dad right now would tear all 3 boys apart. I am not staying because of "the kids." I am staying because I have hope of seeing change. I already "threw one man away" in my mid 20s because he "didn't make me happy." I'm starting to think it was the biggest mistake of my life. Heard he was a doll and completely romantic which my husband is not.

Anyway, I do think to my future - when the kids are 18 and older - then maybe, just maybe, I will be able to say,"okay, I've tried. You are a jerk, never changed, never will, I'm outta here." But I can't do that right now.

Right now I work PT. He works FT+. He keeps a roof over our head and we live a very comfortable lifestyle. I've already listed all the pros and cons and right now staying just makes more sense for everyone involved.

Besides, I'm no quitter. Yeah, he has issues. Yeah, I know there is a man out there who can make me completely happy. But then again if you were to ask my husband, he'd probably say I ain't no saint either! (forgive the grammar please).

I'll talk to you in 25 years and let you know where I am....
Late summer flowers
Maine is probably in the same zone as Siberia, so these may not work for you in Indiana.

My garden is now finally in full bloom, though we have not had the heat like the rest of the country and every day starts with fog. It is a very pleasant 75 degrees here right now and sunny.

Perennials currently blooming: Tall phlox, Rose of Sharon, butterfly bush, day lilies, yellow roses. Asters are loaded with buds. I put my indoor plants out for the summer and my Christmas cactus is huge and in full bloom!

Annuals: Geraniums, pansies (they came back full force after 'resting' in late June/July), inpatients, cosmos, trailing licorice, sunflowers, petunias, Helio double-pinks, phlox.
Sleeping too late in the morning.

update - sorry its late, had to work. sm
She's back in school and it will NOT go on her permanent record.

The super pulled the policies and confirmed that PEPPER SPRAY IS NOT LISTED as a weapon and may carry it with her as she has. That doesn't mean that the policies wont change but, until they do, she is okay to carry it.

This isn't about defiance as two harpies, I mean posters, would seem to suggest below. It's not about trying to get away with something. It's not about special treatment for "1" either. It's simply about SAFTEY.

If they don't have it listed on their list of "NOs," that's their problem. No doubt now, it will probably be amended in the future but that's beside the point.

Those two of you who have a bad case of nasties might also be interested to have pointed out to YOU that the teacher who confiscated the pepper spray in the first place physically assaulted my daughter by legal definition by putting her hands on her without her consent.

I didn't say a thing about that because my daughter wasn't hurt and didn't think it was a big deal but as YOU stated "I am sure knows about the rules of her school," the same goes for the teachers who are not to lay their hands on students. One of you commented "You cannot have 1 rule for 1 and 1 for the others." Same goes for teachers. DONT TOUCH! My daughter did not threaten her in any way and should not have been forcibly escorted to the office by her arm.

By the way, a family friend who is also a police officer (who I'm sure is familiar with the law) suggested the pepper spray for her protection.

Whoever asked where we got the bear keychain, we bought it at the local Home Show last year at one of the booths. I haven't seen anything like it since but if I run across it again this year, will pick up some more and let you know.
