I think that was a terrible terrible thing, but
this is quite different. That was an adult who deliberately wanted to hurt this child, not to the point of death I would hope, but did take pleasure in knowing this would hurt a young teen. I personally feel there should definitely be some severe consequences for that. Just like if this were my child that made the reference to a teacher like this, I would defintely punish him.
Terrible terrible loss
I'm in shock. What a horrible loss for all of us. He was the voice of reason and spoke it like it was. My heart goes out to his family and friends. You can hear how everyone on the news is in shock. The news will never be the same without him.
I don't know, this post down below has me thinking. What are your thoughts, woman to woman. sm
If your spouse came to you and said he was having an affair, would you be more upset if it was with a male or female? For me, definitely a female! If it were male then I would think that it had absolutely nothing to do with me and everything to do with him. I would be devastated if he were with another woman. Another poster below said she would be more upset if he were found with a male. What about you?
woman to woman talk sm
This has nothing to do with being a christian, it has more to do with group dynamics. I have to deal with it all the time with 6 women in an in-law situation. They are narrow-minded Bible-thumping bigots.I happen to be of another "denomination" and I do attend every function of theirs, weddings, funerals, all of it, receive their communion. I have had my parents die, lost my younger sister and many things happen where they could have reciprocated, yet they will not "step foot" in my church. So where is all their faith, they certainly are not practicing the do unto others. I can relate, it is a horrible way to live. Thank God, I had psychology courses and know about group dynamics, I am in the middle of a herd mentality. I could go on forever, they even have "interventions" when someone in their family wants to marry or date someone not from their denomination. They are awful. I know your pain! It's not your imagination, they hide behind their cohesive "numbers game," one speaks and all the others agree in unison. No one has a chance against this mob. It's tough to be your own person, lots of tears. And guys think it's all in our heads - NOT! Hang in, perhaps you'll have a Divine Intervention somehow.
Kangaroo. cat woman or wonder woman?

Is it just me or does she look really terrible?
Poor thing, she's a mess. I didn't catch the wedding, did she at least clean up nice? lol
Wow! That's terrible.
He only gave me enough for about 2 weeks, if that, with no refills. He is really into the natural things as well and suggested a supplement - can't think of it now because I was next thing to a basket case in his office - to take after I get over the initial hurdle. I don't like to take pills, so am only taking 1/2 a tab q.12 and it seems to be helping.
Very sorry, that is just terrible........
and sounds like stories books and movies are made of, almost difficult to believe one person can endure so much. God bless you.
That's just terrible!
I'm so sorry you had that experience, especially at a time like that! It's uncalled for and absolutely sickening how some people will push their beliefs onto others at all costs!
Let me tell you, I don't believe in god at all. I'm OK with others believing, but that's not for me. I have made it clear to my husband and all my family members that when I die I DO NOT want any type of religion in my funeral, no bible verses, no mention of the word god, none of it! It's kind of a family joke now that if they do that to me after I die at my own funeral knowing how I feel about religion that I will come back and haunt them, LOL.
I have no problems with anyone pretty much or any person based on their religion UNTIL they start preaching at me, trying to save me, blessing me, what have you. I just wish they could have the same respect for me that I do for them.
Again, sorry about what happened to you. That kind of thing really bothers me.
I am so terrible at this that
for HIS birthday (yesterday), he asked for and received a Magellan Maestro 4000 GPS portable navigational system. It can move from car to car, but will mostly reside in MINE so I will stop calling him to help me when I'm lost. I usually get lost during the day since I would NEVER go anywhere new at NIGHT by myself.
How humiliating, LOL.
That is terrible!. . sm
I had colitis for several years. I would have terrible flare ups, and sometimes after lunch I would have to leave the room frequently to use the restroom. I tried really hard to get my work done and it wasn't every day that this happened. I found out that one of the other ladies I worked with would put her hand in the air and would put her fingers up indicating the number of times I went to the bathroom. So, if I was on my 4th bathroom break, she would hold up 4 fingers. She never looked up from what she was doing but would stick her hand up. I would only be gone for a couple of minutes at a time. Sometimes, she would page me over the intercom to return to work when she knew I was in the bathroom. Luckily, my good friend told me what she was doing. I was so humiliated. I put in my 2-weeks notice and quit. Some people are just mean!
That is terrible.
I come from a family where there are a few members that leave a lot to be desired. Usually the person on the other end of the conversations receives hurtful comments such as yours.
My mom puts up with it but I don't. I do not have a large family and I understand all too well how precious family and relationships are...however, I do not feel this adds anything positive to my life and have chosen not to participate in conversations with these people. It has gotten so bad that they do not even show up to family events (even for their own children and grandchildren) because everyone else is "wrong" but them.
I think it is a wise decision to just avoid them for a while. It's very sad but your husband will be better off without more hurtful comments eating away at an already difficult relationship and situation.
Terrible...sm
I wonder if he hit his head when having a seizure or what? I guess we'll know more after the autopsy. Poor child.
yes it would be terrible....
that's why I worry. If I move, I want to do it before my son starts school, so I have until early August, so I worry, but by then it will be 3 full months (he's been missing since mid April), so I suppose it would be "safe" to move then....sigh...
thank you!
I think it's terrible - sm
I think they're both acting like spoiled brats but I never really followed the show. Was marriage counseling every suggested or tried? Those poor kids. Their parents' dirty laundry is going to be broadcasted everywhere, on You Tube, etc. when they're old enough for the teezing to begin and it will.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll get down off my high horse and go back to more serious issues - you know, Iran, the economy, etc.
Reality TV - was it invented by Stephen King? He wrote "Running Man" and used people as the players with other people chasing them around and killing them in a maze.
I honestly don't watch much reality TV. They're grasping so far with ideas for new reality shows and IMO, they're getting silly but that's just me. I couldn't stand to have anyone filming me constantly, though I have yearned for Cesar Milan to come over and get my rescue pug under control. ;-)
My husband has this and has terrible
leg pain with it that flares up off and on. He found relief with a supplement on line named Activive, it really helped his leg pain. He ran out of it recently and his leg pain returned so he quickly ordered more. He had tried everything from pain medicine to even an antidepressant that rheumatologist said would help the pain but caused him to have a panic attack. God bless you, this may be something for you to look into.
I am terrible about no pre-planning
I often go to the grocery store 3 or 4 times a week. I love to watch the cooking channel when I have time. Robin Miller has a show that usually shows how to cook a couple of times a week and take the leftovers and use for another meal. She now has out a cookbook so that might be a great place to start.
This is going to sound terrible
but my dad used to tell us if he caught us flipping the bird at anyone he would chop our middle fingers off. Of course he wasn't serious and I was the only one gullible enough to believe it.
Also I remember my grandma telling me when I was really young that kids that bite have to have all their teeth pulled out. God, it sounds like I had a horribly sadistic family but they really werent! LOL
I also remember being told if we swallowed watermelon seeds they could grow in our stomachs.
That was a terrible thing for him to say
Good riddence to him!
I know a single woman that had the same exact thing happen to her a couple of times but her picture was an older one.
Unfortunately this seems to be the new man mentality, no matter what the man looks like, the woman has to look a certain way. Of course not all men but many nowadays.
And we can thank the media for that and movies like Shallow Hal. All the diet and exercise infomercials. Makeovers. Plastic surgery shows. Veneers. Nose jobs. Boob jobs. Liposuction. Hair extensions. Society has made it pretty clear that being imperfect is now unacceptable, but usually only if you are a woman! Of course women still believe nobody is perfect but men feel that it is now becoming possible.
If you look at any very wealthy man today you can bet the wife has had it all done, probably at the coaxing of her husband.
I am sure there are still some good men out there and you will find the right one. Or live you life and enjoy it without one. I know a few single women who say they would never again want a man because their lives are so fullfilling and happy without one and so why ruin a good thing.
All the best to you.
Terrible PMS - perimenopause? anyone else? sm
I have always had some PMS but for the last six months or so it is awful! I physically feel like I am in danger for a full day before my period. I mean my mind knows I am not, but my body is freaking out, heart palpitations, and that tense feeling in your chest like you would have if someone was chasing you or something! Has anyone else had PMS this bad and if so did you find a cure?? Thanks!
OMG!!!! How terrible! I can not imagine...sm
how upset you must be. I wonder what on earth happened to him? That would drive me nuts! Only 2 years old! I am so sorry!!
Terrible! Unbelieveable!
Frightening! I don't have enough adjectives for this! How can we ignore our own citizens in need and yet justify some of the astronomical funding for stupid government programs going on? I wish I could do more for you than just sympathize!
That is terrible, makes the good ones look bad:-)...
I remember when the Chicago Bulls basketball team won the championship years ago, and in downtown Chicago they were turning cars over, setting things on fire, pretty scary. I'm happy to be in an outside suburb where it's not that crazy. It's just not that big of a deal, ya know?
Anxiety is a terrible thing.
Xanax works for me. I suffered too long with out. Only can take half the dose, but I feel more focused. I don't feel I need it every day. Anxiety is a real disorder and does not always coincide with depression. Like Hayseed says it can come with a traumatic insult of sickness on one's self, i.e., heart attack.
This is terrible but I have never heard of Inwood.
I am as I said just across the state line from WV, less than an hour from Tennessee and Kentucky, and about an hour and a half from North Carolina. The finally caught the suspects in Abingdon, VA on Sunday morning. My DD was incredibley impressed with the principal and the school and how he was constantly outside patrolling. (I did ask her how she knew since all blinds were supposed to be closed....didn't get much of an answer) I would prefer he not have put himself in such immediate danger but that is the kind of person he is. His son and my son are very close so we know him rather well and I am not suprised. Everything was back to normal here yesterday. I wouldn't mind talking with your friend. Would like to know what Inwood is near.
Terrible song choice
Even though Jordin sang it extremely well, I thought the song was awful. It reminded me of last year's Do You Make Me Proud. I think most of the songs that they chose for "the song" is more orientated towards women. JMO. You're right a different song for each of them would have been better or at least a song that is more upbeat.
I've had a terrible time with
vets also. I don't know if some of them are just bad at diagnosing efficiently, or if my efforts to help them out annoy them so much their judgment is clouded.
I just detected enlarge lymph nodes in my 8-year-old Sasha, which must have been Thursday evening or Friday, and it took me Tuesday evening to get up the courage to get a vet to check her. I ended up going to Banfield because I just couldn't bear to take her to the places where I struggled to get good diagnoses and treatment for my other terminal dogs. Sasha had seen this vet before anyway, since he had stitched her ear while we were away on vacation.
I was careful to just use terms like "lumps" with the staff and vet though, so as not to annoy anybody. And I asked the vet to please tell me those were just huge chewing muscles under her jaw.
Nope. Lymphoma. He took an aspiration bx, but now that we know, we are noticing more and more bad signs, like she is kind of wheezing when she breathes. And the more places we check, the more lumps we find. But she still wants to play growly bump with us, and can briefly return play with Cedric. When I get down on the floor with her, she looks in my eyes and smiles like I'm the greatest person on earth.
Cancer sucks.
....be released. It is terrible and ridiculous!!! nm

I'm terrible at guessing sizes, myself...sm
I know it seems impersonal to a lot of people, but if you can't figure out her size, how about a gift certificate? I always ended up taking clothes back whenever I got them for Xmas...and I learned to appreciate the gift certificates, that way I could pick out what I really wanted myself....just a thought, though.....
Terrible, but my husband loves it...
And it looks pretty nasty, too!
I cut up a bunch of red potatoes (skin on) to fill the crock pot about 3/4 full, along with one large onion. Then cut up 1# of bacon and 1# of whatever sausage sounds good that day--I prefer spicy italian. Add a little water and cook on low all day. About an hour before dinner time, I take all of the grease off the top of it and get rid of it with a ladle--add 1 pint half and half--salt and pepper to taste. Sometimes I add corn, too. Like I said, it is like trying to cause a massive coronary, but great when it is really cold out!
the terrible things that happen
I got a phone call this a.m. for a prayer request. A young man that is on my nephew's ball team and his girlfriend were coming home last night from a ball game.. He maybe fell asleep and they hit a tree. They have flown them to Evansville and he is on life support, they say he has a bruised heart. He has never come to at all.. His name is Mikey, his girlfriend, Lindsay has a messed up spleen, tear in her liver & maybe broken ribs, they said her back was broke. my sil & her husband went to the hospital today, so will find out for sure when they get back or call..but it's terrible the things that are happening all around.
My Misha had terrible foot trouble.
Not sure why she had infections going in her front feet, but she did. Finally had to have surgery on one of them. If you take the dog to the vet, the vet can put a better wrap on than you can. He can put a stiff sole in there and then wrap it with that semi-sticky splint wrap stuff. The soaking was good. We used epson salts or just soapy water. Definitely don't cut anything off. If it looks like part has turned whitish like it has no blood supply, then even that can be left in place as a temporary cover on the wound, the way you leave the cover on a blister, even if it breaks open. Eventually it will dry up and peel.
But I would probably have taken the dog in to the vet on Monday. In fact I did once for a cut pad; didn't know how old it was, but the vet was not worried about that one because it was only a couple of mm deep. There was no flap.
If you don't think a vet trip is necessary, they do sell booties with Velcro straps at pet stores. If you get the right size it might help you protect your bandage and keep it on longer. We did that with Misha. Maybe if you put extra stiffener in there and even glued in some bubble wrap or other cushion, maybe you could walk the dog sooner. You could use cushioning from people shoe inserts, maybe glue it to cardboard and tuck it inside the doggy booty. Course it would have to be a little bigger than the foot to accommodate all that.
Good luck.
I am a terrible housekeeper, aaaugh, the work I have to do
to have my parents over for Father's Day.
Terrible typos inside message above, so sorry! (NM)

Something terrible happened today. I hit a dog in the street sm
about a quarter-mile from my house. The owners just leave it in the yard while they go to work - no security fence, nothing. You have to pass a lot of houses until you get to the main street to leave the neighborhood and you also have to go up a big hill. Well, I went up the hill and he was lying in the road taking a nap and I ran him over! it was horrible! I didn't see him - just heard a loud thump. Total and complete accident!
No one was home at the time. He actually got up but I didn't want to go near him. It's a big black lab-looking mix. I know that dogs can get hit and seem okay, but then later die.
I'm not sure what to do! Would you go and tell them? Check on him? Leave him? I'm confused, upset, and still in shock.
I think you're terrible. Is this what you teach your children?

Hope you are safe in the Midwest with the terrible storms..
that are ravaging the area. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your families.
Oh my gosh.. I agree he was soooo terrible! Sanjaya here we go again. nm

I made a terrible mistake with a man I thought I loved SM
and his marriage truly was rocky, but to make a long story short, I got my guts literally ripped out of me waiting for him, and actually years later long after we broke up she threw him out. She was tired of his running around and just was tied of the marriage. To my surprise, he was in terrible emotional pain and said he thought they could just GO ON AS ALWAYS. I have asked forgiveness more times than I can tell you, because I worked directly with this man and refused any times alone with him, but like you I became so emotionally attached that we took it to a physical relationship. I pray you will do what is right for you, and that is to back off NOW. I was in a triangle and I stood the greatest chance of losing my heart, which I did. Found out later that my wonderful gentleman who made me feel beautiful and truly loved was cheating with another girl who worked for our hospital, only on the second shift. This actually makes me nevous for you because you are totally emotionally invested in this man, and the only thing I see for you is hurt. I am not judging, but I have been there and don't want you to pay the high price that I have paid, both in a broken heart and my reputation with a lot of people.
Oh my goodness that's terrible! Do you know here it is legal for people to have them as PETS!? (s
Stay inside and be safe! There is a shelter here for them (NC) because people get them as pets when they are cute little cubs and then many abandon them as soon as they start growing larger, with no thought of the safety of other people!
I broke my keyboard tray off when I was startled and jumped. Terrible startle reflex. NM

No, definitely not -- if this had been a woman - sm
asking you the same question would you have thought twice about it? He was a rep of the store asking if you found what you were looking for, since it happened to be a bra, I think he phrased it correctly, but then again he did not take into account a person who would take a question the wrong way. He has learned the hard way never to question a lady about her underwear that is for sure. You need to learn to let things roll off your back. If he had leered at you and said, hey lady you find a bra for those nice **** of yours, then yeah, that would be harrassment and not good customer service. Learn to chill some and not worry so much.
I know of a woman who actually did this
xx
what do you get for the woman who has everything?...sm
Spend some time together.
Give each little young lady a handmade card/voucher that she can cash in to spend time with you one-on-one, whether it be at the hair salon, lunch, walking in the park, just doing regular shopping stuff, going to a play or just sitting, talking, having a cup of tea and looking through family albums....It's the special time that'll be cherished.
Oh, and 50-ish is not old.....I know 70 to 85-yo young ladies who can run circles around me with their enthusiasm, drive, ambition and joy for life.  Cat
did you NOT see that 95 y/o woman who
graduated college last year? She was all over the news, GOD BLESS HER!! Had all her wits about her......just old looking is all....
Education doesn't stop until we die - so by all means 40+ is still young in that many change career directions many times in ones' life...
another woman
Does his name rhyme with Boo by any chance? This brought back memories from 16 years ago. Same situation. I found out I was not the only one and that he had been seeing someone else for years and when she and I "met", she told me he owed everybody money. I did get mine back by personal check in a very nice (what a joke) card, wishing me well. I loved him - couldn't deal with the other woman thing, so let her have him. Glad I did - I would have been miserable with him. Good Luck - watch your purse!!

then you should definitely let the PTA woman have him
and after he's with her instead of you, make sure to send a thank you card
Do you believe what this woman says?
That an employee told her to use the MRI machine at the zoo?
When a 5-foot, 275-pound woman found out she had a tumor on her spine, she was told by her local hospital to go the zoo to have a MRI because a regular MRI machine could not hold her weight, myfoxkc.com reported.
Carolyn Ragan told the television station she discovered the tumor two years ago and, after the hospital told her she could not use their MRI machine, a medical assistant said he would help her find a solution.
“So he suggested the Kansas City Zoo,” Ragan said. “I thought, I know I’m big, but I’m not as big as an elephant. And my husband got mad.”
The University of Kansas Hospital would not comment on Ragan’s claim, but said its MRI department does not know of any animal MRI in the Kansas City area that would scan a human.
Ragan’s problem was two-fold: She was too heavy for the table and too wide to slide through the opening.
Medical Imaging in Kansas City North, which has both closed and open MRI machines can typically hold up to 440 pounds, but sometimes a person who weighs less can still be out of luck, according to an MRI technician.
“It depends on how they are built a lot of times and what part of their body we’re scanning,” said technician Sarah Abbott of Medical Imaging. “(The machine) can only be so open before the magnetic field dissipates into the room.”
Ragan, who ended up having two surgeries and some paralysis, said she finally found an open MRI machine that held her weight, but it was embarrassing and frustrating.
“They should have machines that fit most everybody,” she said.

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ....
by Maya Angelou
enough money within her control to move out
and rent a place of her own,
even if she never wants to or needs to...
something perfect to wear if the employer,
or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour...
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ..
a youth she's content to leave behind....
a past juicy enough that she's looking forward to
retelling it in her old age....
a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra...
one friend who always makes her laugh... and one who lets her cry...
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .......
a good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her family...
eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems,
and a recipe for a meal,
that will make her guests feel honored...
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ..
a feeling of control over her destiny...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
how to fall in love without losing herself...
how to quit a job,
break up with a lover,
and confront a friend without
ruining the friendship....
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW....
when to try harder... and WHEN TO WALK AWAY...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
that she can't change the length of her calves,
the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents..
that her childhood may not have been perfect...but it's over...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
what she would and wouldn't do for love or more...
how to live alone... even if she doesn't like it...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW.. .
whom she can trust,
whom she can't,
and why she shouldn't take it personally....
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
where to go...
be it to her best friend's kitchen table..
or a charming Inn in the woods...
when her soul needs soothing...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
What she can and can't accomplish in a day...
a month...and a year...

A single woman
What you're feeling is perfectly normal. Please do not rush into a relationship with any man at this point. Enjoy this time and spend it getting to know your children better and just spending time with them. Also get to know yourself and feel comfortable with who you are - develop some hobbies and interests. If you've spent the last 2 decades in this kind of relationship, you haven't had much time to spend on yourself. Soak in a hot tub every night if you want to.
In a sense, you've just cut a huge wart off your foot and of course it's going to feel strange and unfamiliar. It was the wart that was strange, now things are normal. It just feels strange because you aren't used to it.
Hope some of this makes sense. If you think about it, I bet you are actually less lonely now than when he was there. Some of the loneliest people I know are in marriages and relationships. Some of the happiest and most joy-filled people I know are on their own.
