*eliminate, exterminate* when it comes to talking about humans (even if the perp here in your article acted inhumane)...
horrible memories, i.e., The Final Solution from 1939-1945....

Brings back memories
In my upper years now but when I was around 11 or 12 had a penpal in France. Still remember getting letters from her. What a wonderful time for all!
That brings back great memories! :) (nm)

That brings back memories! My sister's
boyfriend made that for dessert once years ago. They have since broken up, which I have regretted because I miss the DESSERT! LOL! Don't tell her I said that!
So did mine! That brings back memories. nm

That brings back unpleasant memories. Glad that's over with. nm

Maybe not eliminated....
Just subjected to exactly the same treatment, blow for blow, over the same time period.
And he can't own an animal for THREE YEARS? How about NEVER??!!!!

anyone up for the job?
Who got eliminated on Biggest Loser?
Didn't change clock on my video recorder. Thanks!
I take a Tagamet before bed. It has completely eliminated that middle-of-the-night sm
problem associated with GERD and LPR. I had that really bad type with the vomit-like taste, severe burning and pain. Tagamet was suggested by a friend and is the only thing that works. I forgot it one night and it was right back. It's OTC which is nice and a lot less invasive that surgery! If you can stop the acid, you stop the problems associated with it. Good luck!
Brings to mind
Michael Jackson's little court room dramatics- hobbling into court in his PJs acting like he was at deaths door.
Do they really think the judge is gonna go "ohhh, poor thing, I can't send them to jail if they don't feel well!" Gimme a break!
Paris's "medical condition" is obviously not so severe that it kept her from going out and getting drunk and driving.
And please, I had a friend who had full blown AIDS and was still required to serve most of his sentence.
I am so hoping something finally brings this
case to an end, and those who loved her can somehow go on. I cannot believe that Casey Anthony continues to rant on and on with the same stores and act so concerned, saying all she cares about is Caylee. Dear God, help the parents when they get the final news if this is Caylee. I believe to her dying day Casey will never admit any wrong doing. Everything she has said from the beginning has been a lie. If my dog, literally, were missing I would be a mess and unable to work. Her child was supposedly taken from her and she is out shopping and partying and draping her naked body in the American flag. She makes me ill.
I guess you're one of those that brings gifts?
LOL.
I'm sure I speak for most couples out there. Maybe you are elderly? Not sure. You think 10000 is a lot. I didn't say I went over budget at all and we invited only people very close to us, 100 people is nothing for a wedding. And the average for a nicer wedding nowadays is probably 25000.
It just would be nice if people like yourself understood the bride and groom just incurred a very big expense and found a way to help them out so maybe they could take a nice honeymoon????????
In reality, ma'am, I think that is what the money is for.
After reading some of these posts, I am just so thankful I have such generous/caring family and friends.
Oh, and should we call 911?
This just brings it back to the Halloween talk-
We are NOW allowed as adults to wear masks as in covering our face for Halloween- at least in my section of the country. We might be thieves but others can! Love your post, by the way.
Every body brings baby gifts. sm
Bring something sensual for the mom. A basket of body lotions, bath lotions, maybe something feminine to wear after the birth. I loved that. I had plenty of diapers, newborn clothes, and baby gadjets already. Something for just ME was really appreciated. My favorite gift for the baby was a musical lion that played "You Are My Sunshine". Baby totally loved that, for a couple of years.
What else would you expect in a state that brings you Hillary Clinton.

Name one thing that brings a smile to your face everyday
Or more if you can't decide.
Mine is petting my cat and giving her kisses on her belly and watching her roll around purring really loudly. (okay, so I don't have any kids to give kisses to so this is the next best thing).

What is your fav med term?
Salpingo-oophorectomy. Don't know why, it just has a ring to it.
The term you might be looking for....
attention hoor?
I use the same term and you and I both know
it means absolutely nothing at all and Paula getting in a twit and then Simon duh went right along with her.
Term papers
Does anyone know the going rate for typing term papers nowadays?
The usual term is
selective nerve root block.
Can you hear that?
Otherwise, just see what you get with googling
nerve block, sciatica, selective.
You must not come to Stars often, This is a term

When I hear the term
single mother, I always think you have not been marriedI To me any man who says this to ANY woman, don’t care whether married, single, divorced, widowed and each of us falls into 1 of those categories, unless you really know him well and know he is kidding and you have started off paying for things, this is probably how he is looking at you, being a sugar mamma to him.
I'm with them. There is a term called metrosexual. Don't
!!!
Please don't use the term "trailer trash" (sm)
It offends me...children have no choice but to grow up where their parents raise them and many good decent people live in trailers. I grew up living in poor areas, part of the time in trailers. I was a good kid, good grades, tried hard to be a good person but got made fun of a lot and called "trailer trash" or "white trash". It is very unfair to group people all together in a big clump and stereotype them like that. I overcame the way I grew up, but to this day, if I decide I want to move into a trailer, I sure will.
Not the right term to use here. Amen against religion?nm

Ok, but there are NO long-term studies!!!
And I don't know about you, but my daughter is NOT going to be a guinea pig for this vaccine!!! My daughter's doc keeps asking me to allow her to have this, but since they have no idea of the adverse reactions YEARS after the vaccine, there's no way I'm going to subject her to it. I really hope 10 years from now the girls that had Gardasil don't have problems with fertility or heaven forbid, have babies with birth defects because their parents let them be guinea pigs for drug companies!
you don't know the long term problems with it, but we know what happens without it! nm

It's a term of endearment at my house
My grandmother is affectionately remembered as the California Bag Lady. She had a home (trailer in a trailer park) and a car. Both were stuffed to the windows with STUFF. STUFF that she might need some day. STUFF that she got for free. STUFF that was valuable. In reality, after she passed away, it was mostly STUFF that went to the dumpster. But she was so cute about it. I don't know exactly how to explain it, but it was who she was and I wouldn't have had any other grandmother! Yes, she had lots of bags! She was an artistic sort too, and she would draw beautiful pictures on the brown grocery store bags with chalk.
Are you considering a long-term relationship
with this gentleman? If so, you might want to give some serious thought to his money issues as they could very well become your money issues.
His joke was probably just an attempt to be funny, though rather clumsy and thoughtless. Since it bothers you, you could discuss it with him and tell him why it made you angry and base your next move on his response.
It would be his actual money issues that would be of greatest concern to me.
yeah, there's a term for revenge of this kind-it's
BC Powder Arthritis, but only in the short term. nm

What a wonderful term!!! I gotta start using that one!

I agree - they don't know the long-term ramifications
texas made it mandatory according to the governor making it mandatory (Perry is his name, if I recall correctly) - and that was just PLAIN WRONG. You don't make this kind of thing mandatory and go against the parents wishes....
20 years down the road, we will REALLY see the ramifications of forcing this drug on young teen girls....
Oh my. I think it's a...well...sweet term. I'm curious why it bothers you?

Wow, the memories
My parents had one too!
memories
When I was growing up, we raised a pig with a bottle too. . it was so much fun! I hope your little pig does well...
memories of
sitting at grandparents on the back steps (very wide to fit the porch) and eating watermelon, or watching my dad and brothers taking turns cranking the ice cream machine and all making fun of each other for being too weak. It was so quiet you could hear the windmill squeak, very restful.
Hearing stories of when Daddy and his three brothers were young and took turns jumping out of the barn hayloft with a parachute made from one of grandma's good white sheets which ripped. Daddy said he hugged that limp sheet all the way to the ground. Uncle Joe said they let him go first because it was his idea, but they all got a whipping for it.
At my other grandparents, Mother and her sister talked about skating all over Austin jumping the cracks in the sidewalks. I had to be quiet when John Cameron Swazy was on (Timex keeps on ticking) or Billy Graham. Going to the barbershop (Papa was a barber) for haircuts. sitting on the porch snapping beans or peas. Aunt Nell and Uncle Frank lived in the country, feather tick mattresses and bolsters, chamber pots and outhouses, mean chickens. Aunt Nell's hair was let down at night and hung below her hips. She had a built-in ice box (not fridge) and a water pump in the kitchen and thought she was in high cotton. They lived in the house she had been born in. She had sunbonnets by the back door. Never went out of the house without one and at 86 still had beautiful skin you would not believe. Kept their money in a bible. They had a 17 year old hound under the front porch with no teeth who acted like he would tear you up. They called him didhebitecha. She made the best biscuits in the world until canned came out!
Daddy loved woodworking, helping him hold large piece of wood in the shop or handing him tools.
I was anxious to learn to cook (I never said I was smart!), made cookies and such at 12, cooking whole dinners by 16. Being the oldest was not all you would think it could be. I was a miniparent.
I remember my baby brother being droopy drawers, would step out of his diaper and keep going. Love to remind him of that now when he is 52 and 6ƈ". Then came two more sisters, the last when I was 17, Mother had it made for that one!
I remember my border collie, Lady. We got her when I was 9 and she was 2. Had her until I was 21. One of those dogs who knew who could come in the yard and knock on the door and who to run entirely out of the neighborhood. She was my best friend. She had trouble delivering her last litter and my grandmother helped her.
I remember the attic fan, and wish I had one now. My son does and it saves him AC bills about 2 to 3 months of the year.
I remember being around my great-grandparents. In fact, one grandmother was 90 when she died in 2000. I was 54. How many can say that? I also remember seeing a civil war veteran in the 1950's.
This feels like such a time warp as the memories go flashing by. I remember when most moms stayed home. The fuller brush man went door to door. There was a man who traveled around sharpening knives and scissors. Milk was delivered to your door. Remember keeping wet clothes in a bread bag in the fridge? You put a tin sprinkler with a piece of cork around the base on a 10 cent coke bottle to sprinkle while you ironed. Do they still make those? and I remember when keyboards had a cent sign on the number 6 key!
Just for the groan effect, here's one for you - gas was 18 cents a gallon and there was a gas war between competing stations!
Ah, Memories!
My big sister had a poodle skirt that I inherited just before they went out of style in about ཻ. It had a real chain on the poodle's leash. I wore it with a pink fuzzy sweater, and, yes, the petticoat. Incidently, when I was a little younger my sister and I would use those petticoats on our heads for "Brides' veils."
Memories
I remember coming home from Bonnie and Clyde - my mom had a fit I saw that violent movie - she thought I was really shaken up over it. Actually it was the fight with my boyfriend that gave me the blues. Hilary Duff? Hmmm, I really can't think of anybody I would like to see play that part.
Wow. Now THERE are some MEMORIES!
I actually learned to type on a typewriter just about like that, in high school. Got up to 52 words per minute, too.
I remember those chest Coke machines. And the milk bottles with the little paper caps. The ice cube trays. (There are some of those still probably stowed in my mother's attic. Wonder if they're worth anything??) Ah, the drive-in movie, the TV dinners, the goofy lunch boxes with the thermos that broke if you looked at it funny, The Beatles swag, the record players, the non-pop-top cans. Full-service gas stations.
I still had one of those dial phones up until the late 1980s because it was cheaper than a push-button back in the day when we still had to rent our equipment from the phone company....
And, of course, not even a HINT of a seat belt in the family car! Remember riding in the way-back of the station wagon? And oh, the stuff my mother used to score with the S & H Green Stamps (and the Blue Chip stamps too).
Is it legal to evict a long-term tenant - sm
who has always paid the rent on time, simply because they want to 'remodel'? I've lived here for close to 20 years, and just today out of the blue, the manager walks up and hands me an eviction notice! I was like, "Huh????" and he said they wanted to "renovate". But my unit, only. I guess others have gotten new rugs, appliances, etc. as tenants have come and go, but I've been here forever (and pay rent that is considerbly below market). I've lived here forever, don't drink, never had a party, keep it pretty clean, etc. The heater, oven, fridge, bathroom fixtures, etc., are old, but still in perfectly good working condition. So, I asked if I'd be able to come back afterward, and the manager said they were going to raise the rent (to far more than I can afford) once the renovation is complete.
So my question is -- Do you think it's legal to evict a tenant just because you want to put in a new rug, new paint, etc., and charge more to the next tenant? I'm thinking about calling a lawyer, but don't know if I have a case or not. If I move, I'm going to have to go at least 60-70 miles away, in order to find affordable rent.
    
Cell phones - How dangerous is their long-term use?
Hoax or not, the long-term safety of cell phones is still very much in question! They are not innocuous, and emit harmful electromagnetic radiation in varying amounts. Just as policemen's radar guns laid in their laps have caused testicular cancer, so the incidence of brain tumors from cell phone usage has also been on the rise.
That very thing happened to my stepdad, a brain tumor & aneurysm right above his right ear, where he holds his cordless phone constantly. Cell phone signals decrease fertility of humans & animals alike, & Swedish researchers have proven that they are ESPECIALLY damaging to the brains of children! Cell phone-using kids are FIVE times more likely to get brain cancer. I gave mine up over 5 years ago & will never use another one on a routine basis. This issue is being covered up, but is certain to become the controversy of the 21st century, just as tobacco was in the 20th century.
Creative Memories
My mother loved Creative Memories. She passed away last year, so I already have so much stuff, and I can say the items are well worth it. Creative Memories has nice stuff if you like to scrapbook. My Mom started a few books, which I will cherish forever. She was trying to make one for each child and grandchild, but she was cut short by an illness. I am loaded with Creative Memories stuff, but wanted to share that you will have so much fun being a consultant. I had a great time at one of the functions. I also saw a new twist on scrapbooking by using favorite recipes. Not only could you include pictures of family gatherings, but also type up the recipe for the scrapbook page. Fortunately my daughter spent a lot of time with my Mom and she will be able to use the supplies we have inherited through learning the techniques with my Mom and she's only 7. This is not something just for adult, but kids like it too! Good luck and happy scrappin'!!!!! I think you'll have fun meeting new people! 
Fond memories.
When I worked in-house, a co-worker and I used to pass the twitch back and forth. ;-)
Oh my gosh! What memories
this brings back, I feel for you!! It's been a long time ago, but it still gets my heart pumping. My daughter had long blonde, THICK hair almost to her waist in 2nd grade. I actually took her to the doctor because I'd never seen them before and didn't know what was going on. He gave me a prescription shampoo, but I suppose there are other better things out there now, don't know and hope I never need to. It took me weeks of combing and picking those nasty things out, her crying the whole time and so embarrassed, like it was her fault. Come to find out the school knew about lice going through the classes, her teacher told me there were 2 girls in her class at the time, one of whom she sat right next to in class, and they had been sent home multiple times for it and warned. I had to call one of her my daughter's friend's mother and tell her my daughter had lice because the friend had just recently spent the night. I spent a little time in the principal's office for sure and asked what the deal was, that nobody was notified it was going around in the school so parents could take precautions and be aware. He said well there was a privacy issue, well what about MY daughter? and was he aware that there was a school not too far away that had actually been closed down for a lice epidemic?!! No...he wasn't. It wasn't like they have to name names, just send a note home with the kids saying there's an issue you need to be aware of (they certainly had no problems in that class with privacy issues when doing their drug awareness program and asking the children personally what their parents drank or took, including coffee, in terms of drugs and alcohol). Well, guess what, they did and no more piling hats and clothes on the playground at recess, wearing other's coats, hats, etc. From then on, my daughter wore her hair in tight french braids to her head, until she decided she wanted it cut off. Man, what a nightmare, I was frantic, spent hours and hours and dollars fumigating, cleaning everything imaginable, toys, bedding, furniture, carpets, car seats...
I have baseball memories with my Dad
My favorite activity as a child was stick/hose ball. My Dad would cut up old hose and pitch them to us. There were some woods behind the house, so it didn't matter how hard you hit those pieces of hose. What fun!! We used to go crabbing in the summer and built gigantic snowmen in the winter. I was in the middle child with an older and younger brother, so I learned to play a lot of football, baseball, and yes, believe it or not, we used to play guns! Fake ones of course! Times have sure changed!
