I remember when Nancy Reagan had a double mastectomy
and if I remember correctly, she was only diagnosed with it in 1 side. Not that you have cancer but I remember thinking and talking about her at that time I thought have a bilateral mastectomy was the way I would do in case of this ever happening, plus as aggressive chemo and whatever. Up to now, no further problem with her and I thought she made the right decision, just to be rid of the concern about the other breast eventually having to go back again. By the way, had hysterectomy, not for tumor but unending bleeding and probably best thing I ever did, vaginal route, really no down time, no pain (unlike before). Good luck with your decision.
Don't you remember Ronald Reagan's stance on abortion? sm
It was "I'm PRO-CHOICE. If the unborn baby has a choice, I am PRO-CHOICE."
and hearing aids
a woman that my daughter works with forgot to put her hearing aids up in their case when she went to bed one night - and her dog chewed one of them up during the night. fortunately, my daughter wears hearing aids and gave the woman one of her old ones (she's on her third set and now has a set that is digital). Her older one worked perfectly - glad that headsets are not the price of hearing aids - or none of us could afford to work (1200-5000 a set)
Explaining AIDS
AIDS is a disease that is spread by blood contact. The particular act that male homosexuals frequently engage in makes them very susceptible to exchanging blood fluids with each other. The promiscuity issue increases the rate of spread exponentially.
There are plenty of other sexually and blood products transmitted diseases out there besides AIDS, and AIDS also is spread in the heterosexual communities too, along with all the other STDs.
That all being said, people with AIDS are still, 25 years after the discovery of AIDS primarily in the gay community, far more likely to be gay males than straight anything.
As far as I know, non-IV-drug-using lesbians still are in one of the lowest risk categories for AIDS. Kinda blows part of that theory while still proving the other part of the theory, doesn't it?
Reagan
He was one of a kind, and we have not had a true Republican in office since him. He cut taxes yet brought in more government revenue. Imagine that. People had more of their own money to spend and they did. He didn't make up "tax credits" which is just another government way to take more of your money - Sure you can get some of it back but you have to do what the gov't says in order to get any of it back. It's a matter of control, coming from a gov't who cannot even control their own spending.
I know a lot here don't like W and in the end, my jury is still out on him but I did go to see his campaign in 2004 when he came to the AF base in Youngstown, Ohio and I do have to tell you - I was right up front and Laura Bush looks at him like they're newlyweds, and the TV cameras do not do her justice. She is just beautiful. Everyone should have a marriage like Ron and Nancy Reagan and George and Laura Bush.
Ronald Reagan
I remember the rumors, when I was in high school, that he was the antichrist (LOL), but what touched me was a story I saw on t.v. in recent years about how his proposal to Nancy went. Apparently, he said to her, "Let's get married!" She replied, simply, "Let's!" I thought it a great story (short and sweet). When you see footage of his speeches and they turn the camera to Nancy, you can see the admiration, awe, and love all over her.
I hear you- I had a friend dying of AIDS
that I lived with and helped take care of so he could die at home. There were times it was so stressful and uncertain that I would sometimes wish he would just die already. I felt like the worst person in the world for feeling that way but now I realize I am only human and I did the best I could.
There are groups that have protested at people who have died of AIDS but
I really do not know if same group or not. One person's name who comes to mind is Ryan White, the young kid who contracted AIDS through blood transfusion as small infant. What an horrific thing for a family to have to go thru, first a diagnosis like this to have a loved one die and then for people to say they deserved it? This world is really not right. I think it is only getting worse.
I agree! Reagan/Schmaegan. One of our worst presidents.

don't remember Minnie, but I remember Kiki! Though I would rather not.
nm
Definitely remember Buffy's Bark. Also had a Bassett Hound and remember his bark(EOM)
.
My ex did that. What I remember was that it
was horrible in the summer and going under houses was not always the greatest experience. He would find dead animals and of course spiders, mice, rats.
Just remember: He's a MAN, he's not a god. LOL

Don't remember anything, just something SM
that felt like cramp and then I woke up. No damage.
My friend, who is quite tiny, said she was moved around quite a bit, but no damage done.
I feel they were excessively rough with you, but that is just my opinion. Also, it sounds like they did not give you enough sedation. You are supposed to feel very relaxed.
Wow! I can remember when ...
we charged $25 period to type it. Then I got to thinking how long I've been out of school. How depressing.
now remember..sm
Brooke also went to Bridgette to see if she could conceive around the same time Taylor did..so, Bridgette could have taken Brooke's eggs, saved them, and used them on Taylor. Anyway, why in the world would Taylor and Nick trust Brooke's daughter with their future child??? I mean come on, Brooke's throwing herself shamelessly at Nick, yet they go to her daughter for in vitro? Wow...
I don't remember the first one....
I couldn't stand looking at Roxy...*lol* - too much gum show......and I do watch the food channel a lot!!! I used to like Rachael Ray before she got REAL famous and glammed herself out. I so liked her when she lived in upstate NY doing the 30-minute meal show or $40 a Day show. Now I refuse to watch her - her voice is very annoying to me today.
GO_AMY!!! 
I was 8 - Remember seeing it on TV (sm)
I remember it being such a shock because he had just always been there and seemed like he always would be.
Remember then from when I was a kid sm
my dad's company picnics, with horseshoes, bbqs, lots of fun
As we remember.....
I would like to ask everyone, as you remember the 9/11 attacks today, to also remember the bombing of the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995. The 9/11 attacks were far greater in scale and in death toll, and I mourn for those who died and for their families. I also mourn for the 168 people who died in the Oklahoma City bombing. Fewer in number, perhaps, but the lives just as precious. It was so hard for me to watch as rescue workers went through the rubble of the day care and pulled out those tiny bodies...
When we send our soldiers into combat, we train them and give them the best equipment available to defend themselves and destroy the enemy. The people who died on September 11, 2001 and April 19, 1995 were innocent civilians who had their lives ripped away in an instant, by people who had no respect for the sanctity of life and who were too cowardly to take their fight to the battlefield where it belongs.
Never again. We must be vigilant. These events occurred on our own soil. Each of has a duty to keep our eyes and ears open, and to cooperate with the increased security precautions our government has implemented. We are all soldiers in this war.
You THINK you remember until it comes down to it (sm)
When they are actually there in your care you have to remind yourself of exactly what babies can and can't do at certain ages. But maybe you are perfect. If so, I apologize O Great One. It ticks me off when people have smart-axe comments for no apparent reason.
thank you so much, was trying to remember the name of that myself, NM

Everyone does not think like you and I you have to remember that.

I can remember my mom when I was
a kid wore one every day, whether at work or at home, and those things back then definitely looked uncomfortable.
I'm trying to remember
but I do remember waking up feeling completely flushed hot on the inside, a pool of sweat in the middle of my chest, my heart pounding, thinking I would like to rip my clothes off and jump into the tub filled with ice. Stuff like that. They're quite nasty little episodes. Did you have one? Are you over 45?
and remember this
don't go crying the blues to anyone here when your insurance premiums and medical bills are totally out of control. It is awards like the one this person wants that make insurance unaffordable for countless Americans. any monies awarded in courts will be coming out of your pocket if you currently pay insurance premiums. Yes, I feel for the child, but money won't fix it. This costs everyone, not just the dog's owner. and it solves nothing. she still has not answered the question of what injuries the child sustained, either. to see financial renumeration above the costs of any bills incurred is unfair to EVERYONE.
You have to remember
It is very easy to take email and board postings out of context. I don't think that is quite what she meant. Sheesh.
I still remember....
....leaving cookies and carrots on a plate, for Santa and the reindeer.
I must have been around 11 years old or so, and that Christmas morning, I found a beautiful, handwritten note from my mother. I don't have the note any longer, nor do I remember exactly what she wrote.
But she explained in a loving, wonderful way, the meaning of Christmas, including Jesus, and Santa. I recall the meaning of the note, letting me know that it is the gift of giving, within us all, to give and receive, gifts in His name, and that Santa was the vehicle of that giving, for us, as small children.
I don't remember being disappointed that Santa Claus wasn't "real." Because her note made me realize that the whole season was bigger and brighter, than just Santa, gifts, and tinsel.
And I realize that Santa IS real, just like God and Jesus are real. If we believe, in that small child way, the reasons for believing, will always be with us.
Remember too well
We live in Mississippi now but lived in Florida a very long time, from Miami to Jacksonville and the panhandle. We did sit through a few 1-2 level hurricanes but were fortunate only a few days without power. After Katrina, so many of our friends and family were severely affected from New Orleans to Gulfport. We sat here in MS without power for over a week but lost nothing in it. We did have neighbors and friends that had their homes leveled by huge falling trees and three years later before one got their insurance to cover properly for them to rebuild. We were 200 miles inland with a lot of severe wind damage, so I am sitting on pins and needles knowing another one is heading in this general area and so many friends and family along the coastal areas.
Lets just all pray for everyone's safety.
I remember that too. It would be more fun
to be in the holiday spirit longer if I had more money to spend. Used to get all done before Thanksgiving, but now am waiting until the last minute, because then I won't over buy things. Plus right now, it's just paycheck to paycheck, how do you tell kids that...
PS: I want to boycott K-mart too. Every time I go in there, never find what I want, and always ask myself why I try. LOL.
I can remember as a kid when we had
chest colds, parents would put it all over our chest and then covered with a warmed towel.
jss: Do you remember seeing an
old reenactment about a girl who went upstairs to bed with her Siamese cat? A man broke in and the cat attacked him when he was coming up the stairs. It was too funny; that cat latched on and stayed on him down the road, drawing blood every step of the way!
could be she is right. I just remember
people talking about the pettycoats. Crinoline usually brings to mind scarlet o'hara, but I don't know the difference. Oh, for a ཱུ chevy to ride in.
Just remember that as they get s/m
more frail and need help and have to depend on you, you have kept your head up high, making you one ahead of them.
Yep, I remember that now that you said it
Now that you mentioned it, I remember. My grandparents lived in Kentucky and had a farm. My grandma had chickens and had fresh eggs every day. She never kept them in the fridge. Always in a basket in the pantry.
I remember.
My parents used to take us downtown once a year to shop and look at the display windows. Then we would eat at one of the department stores. Dad would take half the kids and mom would take the other half so we could all buy for each other. I remember one year when I was about 6 I was with my dad and my sister and I saw this beautiful red coat I wanted to get mom. We took it up to the counter and my dad told us to give the lady our money. Between us we had 35 cents. We gave it to her and she wrapped it up for us. My dad still tells that story today, how we bought mom a coat for 35 cents. We never did see him give the saleslady the rest of the money, and it was sweet how she played along.
Oh, do I remember!
It was a big deal around Christmas time. We'd take the bus or train to a store in another town because they had a Christmas display made up of moving figures as big as a 3-yo child. People would come from miles around to see it.
We had two 5&dimes in our town right aside of each other. One was "modern", bright lights and big display windows complete with a lunch counter and all open displays. The other was dark with all wood shelves and bins, so cramped only 2 people could fit in the aisles if they turned sideways. This store also had the candy in glass cases that you paid for by the pound.
We also had another old general store like the older 5& dime but he even sold shoes. He had a pair of red shoes with bow ties on them in the window one year. I wanted them so bad because they matched a skirt I had at the time, but they were $10. I only got an allowance of $.50 a week. I was afraid it would take me forever to save the money. Our school's magazine sale was going on at the time and I worked hard to sell as many as I could to win the $10 prize. I won and bought the shoes. It was one of the happiest days in my life.
and remember..
the air raid disaster drills at school during the Cuban missile crisis that the kids had to do? How about this one - got a driver's license from Sear's Catalog for 25 cents. No test. you just fill out the coupon, send in 25 cents and they send you a driver's license. Anybody else do that? Yes, I am older than dirt's mother. anyone remember the "rag man" or the "egg man." they would come down your street with a horsedrawn wagon, one selling eggs, the other picked up old rags but for the life of me I don't remember what they did with those rags! Remember the "milk chute?" They would deliver the milk and put it in the milk chute. If we got ourselves locked out of the house, forgot our keys, we would climb in through that milk chute! I remember listening to the green hornet on the radio. The whole neighborhood got together for that. Kukla, Fran and Ollie anyone?
I remember that!
I hoarded all the real Coke I could find too with the idea I would have to eke it out as long as it would last. Thankfully, they saw the error of their ways and ditched the New Coke. It was awful.
I remember that!
It also worked to hold the door shut where there were stalls that didn't latch. I thought it was a great idea and would have bought one in a minute. The men judges didn't understand how it would ever have any use.
Duh.
Does anyone remember?
Back around 1977 or so, the big scare was that the flu strain that year was going to be the swine flu. It was one of the first years they had any kind of a flu vaccine and they really pushed to have people get the vaccine, especially the elderly and chronically ill. The vaccine caused something like 500 cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome and killed 25. The flu only killed 1 person.
So will I be standing in line to get this flu vaccine? I really don't know......
I remember it....
I was young and my sister contracted it, was sick for about 3-5 days, then recovered just fine. None of us got the immunization (couldn't afford it).
In all likelihood I won't get this immunization, either. I remember the fallout from that vaccine in the 1970s and personally I'd rather be sick as a dog for a week and have a good shot at full recovery than let them inject me with that pretty much experimental immunization and whatever side effects could be possible.
I still say it's being overblown and overpromoted (like most everything in the media) so that the pharmaceutical company(ies) behind the immunization will have a gigantic windfall at the end of the year. What a boost for the economy.
Yes, I remember it well..
I was a nursing student, and the hospital I was doing my clinicals at had posters on all the walls predicting the coming pandemic was expected be deadlier than The Plague. My mother and I stood in line with hundreds of other people to get the vaccination, and a few weeks later I was taking care of 2 patients on ventilators who had developed Guillan-Barre syndrome from the shot. The flu itself just fizzled out and disappeared. It was the last time I got vaccinated for anything and the last time I got sucked into a government/media-induced panic over nothing.
I remember--sm
your post very well, and I do believe I was one of the ones who responded. I am glad that you went to court. I, personally, am not satisfied with the sentence he received, but that is none of my business, I suppose. Courts these days advocate more for the offender than they do for the *victim*, (sorry, I know you did not want to hear that again). However, you must totally STOP allowing him to contact you. You are still enabling him to force himself into your life by accepting his phone calls and even speaking with him. This makes him feel like he still has a chance with you and he will continue to take advantage of that chance until he gets what he wants...another victim! You say you have blocked his calls now, but that should have been a no-brainer from the time he first abused you. You are just setting yourself up for a repeat event and this time, it may be even worse. It's your life, and no one can tell you what to do, but please have more concern for your own well being than any compassion for him. Since having been convicted now by something you began and having spent time in jail, do you think he will be *kind* to you now if he ever gets close enough to you? Be wary of abusers in sheeps clothing. He may just take your life next time. Stay strong, and stop enabling him into your life. please. we don't want to read about you in headline news. Take care.
I REMEMBER ALMOST ALL OF IT
Sure did bring back some memories. I remember going with my friends to Woolsworth. You could buy a coke for a nickle. My mother had a 1948 Desoto (which was a big car back then), and it only took $3 to fill it up. She could go to the store and spend $6 to feed us for 2 weeks (5 of us). We did not have AC and only B/W TV. I remember the Brownie camera. I was 18 years old and worked on one of the first huge computers that took a whole building to hold it. Wow! Those were the days. Life was not so hectic then. People think they have so much now, but I would give it all up (except AC) to have that laid back time again.
A few ideas
Shed not for her the bitter tear,
Nor give the heart to vain regret;
Tis but the casket that lies her,
The gem that filled it sparkles yet.
Her children rise up and call her blessed.
Amiable, she won all; intelligent, she charmed all; fervent, she loved all; and dead, she saddened all.
Ideas..
How about the pastry puff (hot dog, potato, beef) hors doeuvres by Cohen. Frozen aisle, just thaw and bake. They are delicious! Spinach dip in a bread bowl. Chicken fingers. Shrimp cocktail. Stuffed mushrooms. Prosciutto and melon, fresh mozzarella. Deviled eggs. Enjoy the party!
Any ideas???
You all are always so creative and imaginative - please help. I need to buy gifts for my BIL's girlfriend and SIL's boyfriend, somewhere in the $25 range. I have no clue what they like, and asking BIL and SIL is like asking my keyboard - they are no help at all. Thanks in advance!
some ideas...
Although this is from a nominated student themselves you might pull some info from it. Had the pleaure of being a memory and it was indeed an honor.
associatedcontent.com/.../how_to_write_a_successful_national.html - 35k -
Give applicant name and school name, your relation to applicant, how long you have known them. Some of the criteria it is based would be maturity, dependability, motivation, compatibility, integrity, compassion, particpation and attitude.
here are a few ideas
There is a web site that is legit that can help with small amounts. It may not give you money in a short time, but it can help within 30 days. www.modestneeds.org
They even help show you how to write a request that will get approved.
For help with food, try angelfoodministries.com . For $25/month, you get almost $75 worth of food.
For help with any medications, try www.needymeds.com . The drug manufacturers help people who fall between the cracks and cannot afford medicine by providing it for free or for a minimal fee.
Also contact your state's Vocational Services Department. If you have ADHD in my state, they will pay for your schooling and medication and doctor bills and you don't pay it back after school is done.
Don't be afraid to contact your local resources - churches, food banks, Salvation Army - for whatever help you can get. Some of these will provide one-time assistance or every-other-month help.
I wish you well. I only know about these because of I have needed to use each of them at one time or another, and continue to need them.
My ideas
Do you have wood heat? My sister's red setter had thyroid problems that made it itch and loose most of her hair as well as being allergic to wheat in the dog good and the only food that could feed it was Friskies cubes. Allergy testing sometimes is not that expensive. And it might be worth your while and cheaper than going through all the medications and remedies to not have them work and then do the testing. I have found that specialists sometimes are less expensive than the regular vets and they can pinpoint the problem faster and less expensive. So call an allergist vet and ask what it would cost to get him tested. I was scared to death about the expense of taking my dog to a neurologist when she was having seizures and it cost me less than a regular visit to my vet and he spent over 30 minutes with us explaining things. And he knew immediately what to do. But beware of the steroids as I feel that is what caused the seizures in the first place and will never put my dog on them again. Too many side effects. Good luck.
