In Reply to: maybe it was 1958 when the cop told her this? - just a thought
she wouldn't have a small child, would be too old and if she stayed wtih this guy that long, she deserves him. I suppose you do the same thing huh?

You're so funny!!! That's what I wanted - funny redneck stories

That is too funny... I'm sure it wasn't funny at the time.

My feelings; people shacking up together for years and years
and then all of a sudden deciding to get married don't need a thing, obviously. A shower should not even be given. I lived with my now husband a while (nowadays who doesn't!) before we married and I also had been married before years ago but he was not....so of course HIS mom wanted a shower. I told her absolutely not unless it was just the immediate family, his mom, sisters, etc, more like a celebration/get together. And so that's what we did. Showers are tacky, period. Unless it's a couple of young kids getting married straight out of the house and that doesn't happen much anymore.
Been with a man 13 years older, now with a man 4 years younger.
Younger is better, at least in my case ;)
Sorry, meant 75 cents. Still, that was years and years ago.

I studied to be a scopist years and years ago
Back in the early 1990s I took a course called Note reader Scopist. They read court reporter notes (those long skinny papers that looks like a cash receipt) and types them into documents. I had found the course through something called At Home Professions but just didn't finish it because it was too expensive for me. But I am familiar with them and even found my book from the first course I took. Looking back I think it would have been a blast if I had kept up with it.
It is definitely legitimate. A lot has changed since the early 90s, so I'm not too familiar with the industry now. I do remember what was really weird was it didn't take a lot for me to learn it. For instance I could look at a line of court notes and see something that looked like: NV p srn - and I seemed to know exactly what it said. Just weird. My DH used to say that I understood it because I was an alien and my ship crashed in Roswell. HA HA HA Anyway...that's what I know about it. But if you Google note reader scopist or at home professions i'm sure you could probably find a lot of info.
I have been vegetarian on/off for 35 years, was vegan for about 5 years sm
not that hard. Right now, I am having so many issues with food allergies and celiac disease, having to give up nightshade veggies...nothing left to eat. I am eating some meat now, but not when the gastroparesis sets in!
Being vegan is not hard...unless you are a celiac. This is how I figured out the celiac part because so many of the meat analogs and vegan packaged foods use gluten for the protein and I got really sick from it. I gave up all the premade things and the whole grains with gluten and I was fine.
There is vegan and then there is VE-GAN. By definition, vegans don't wear, use or consume anything that is derived of animals...no leather shoes, most shampoos and toothpastes are off the list, as are deodorants. No wool or silk. Anything with soap usually has animal byproducts. It is very involved and rather difficult to do.
Giving up meat, eggs and dairy is no big deal, except for cheese. You hear that ad about "comfort proteins" in a baby formula and there is such a thing. Mother's milk, be it human, cow, goat, whatever...contains a chemical that triggers the release of endorphins in the brain so that feeding feels good in more ways than one. The purpose of this is ensure that the nursed young want to nurse and thrive. Human milk has a lot of these, so does cow's milk and cow juice triggers the same reaction in the adult human brain. Cheese is concentrated milk and therefore these chemicals are also concentrated. As a result, cheese is an addictive substance. This is the hardest thing to give up when going vegan. Vegan cheese substitutes are nasty and they don't melt. If a dairy-free cheese melts, it contains casein, an animal protein and not vegan.
I studied this years and years and years ago
Most definitely is legitimate. In the late 1980s I studied to be a note reader scopist through a group called At Home Professions. I loved it, but unfortunately could not continue due to no funds. It was reading the court reporters notes which looked like a grocery receipt with a bunch of letters scattered on it. The weird thing was I found it extremely easy. For instance I would see a line that looked like: av e cr, and for some reason I would know what it said. My DH told me that's because I'm an alien and my ship landed in Roswell. HA HA. Well I know that a lot has changed, after all it's been over 20 years since I took the first course and know a lot of it is computerized now, but it is most definitely legitimate and I've heard people like to do it. I think I remember one of the courses was in medical terminology and another course was in legal terminology. Should be able to find a lot of it on google, or maybe go to your local college if they offer it and talk to an instructor.
This has happened for years and years, where have you been?
Frank Sinatra, Elvis, the Beatles, and on and on. This person is acting very normal like the age she is. You would have to have been under a rock to think differently, like this was an abnormal behavior....
Lost my mom 23 years ago and dad 18 years ago.
My son was not even 1 when my mom died....she was only 50. My dad died at age 59. So even though I feel your pain....I would have been very grateful to have them into their 80's. I guess we take what we get and be thankful. Sometimes it is hard though.
I was married for 13 years and 2 years
after my divorce I met the most incredible man. He was also divorced, we both have 2 kids, and though we are not married, we have been together for 9 years. They are still out there, you may have to go through a few marginal ones before you find him, but they are out there and available.
Thats funny!! Thanx

too funny !!!
It's funny that you say this...
about "sounding rude". I wonder how much time your in laws and family members actually put into their decision before asking you to care for their mother? I wonder if it has even occurred to them that they are being rude to even consider asking this of you when there are professionals who can do this and should do this for their mother?
Believe me, you have no idea how much of yourself you actually lose when thrown into a situation that's convenient for everyone else. Believe me, everyone else has figured out how to say "no" by passing the responsibility on to you so that they can continue their lives without being inconvenienced.
However, you're right in being polite; however, you can still say "no" and not be rude. Don't feel guilty either for not playing the martyr.
This is so funny!!! LOL!!
I have an 18-year-old son who LOVES to be on the computer doing the instant message thing. He knows all the lingo, codes, blah blah blah. Well, he is not used to the Short Hand being on on my computer, but sometimes he uses my computer when I am not working. Can you see where I am going with this?
Anyway, he (and probably a dozen other of his buddies) were instant messaging each other on line. So my son needs to go do something and he just typed BRB for "be right back." He jumped up and did not see this expand to BRIGHT RED BLOOD.
LOLOL. Frantically, word travelled through cyberspace that something must have happened because he just typed in bright red blood and left. When he finally went back to his screen he had all these worried messages...are you all right? what happened??? are you alive???
I got the best laugh out of that! He had to explain to everyone who had "heard" just what had happened and now he is much more careful.
How funny - if he
had put that in on my computer it would be "bright red blood per rectum" Not a great idea!
Oh, that's funny!
That must be the game system that I have heard talked about and someone laughingly said that this game would actually give you carpal tunnel, pulled muscles, etc.

Funny...

How funny!
Gave me a good laugh, which I needed! Thanks.
Funny too how you can think that you like
they have made here, and then all of the sudden realize they are not as nice as they seem by other posts that they make.
funny
Born and bred Texas, but never heard that before - i'm trying to figure out if it could be a compliment ???
This is funny because.....
I grew up with these sayings and use these all the time in my everyday talking without thinking about it. Hubby comes to me all the time when things he hears at work asking me what does this mean, such as "buying a pig in a poke", "don’t look a gift horse in the mouth", "leaving someone high and dry", so many, so little time.....I throw these around because where I came from everyone knows what they mean and we think nothing about using them. Bless his little short self he doesn’t know and I laugh when he tells me to speak "English."
LOL! Too funny . . .
When I told my son (after a couple of years of him questioning it because peers had already told him), he said, "The thing that made it most believable is that we never have a lot of money, but there is always so much cool stuff on Christmas morning!"
Too funny! >^..^<
My funny
One of my ESL doctors said the patient's lower extremities have disappeared. LOL.
That is too funny!
that was funny!...nm

and that would be me...*how funny*....s/m
 And I'm a woman of my word - I never steer people wrong, rarely give unsolicited advice, and let me state it was fun emailing with you today!! *giggling*......Nice to put the people with their posts...*lol* I never put a name in but you know my name as I do yours now.
*too funny* 
Have a GREAT evening :)
OMG! That's too funny!
She's so adorable though I think I can overlook it!
Funny you should say that (sm)
We were watching the news while eating breakfast this morning and they had bad reviews of Premonition, and I told DH, "Well if they don't like it, I'll probably love it". That's what usually happens.
That is too funny, and just to think my
hubby told me just today he had to give colas up, hmmm..
Funny, my mom too!
And I have used everything else you can think of, now 40-something, and my skin looks like crap :( Gonna get me some of that miracle potion too!
That's so funny! sm
The strange thing is, I've seen adult birds (I don't know what kind, but they aren't very big - not crows or anything) harrass the cats far more than the other way around. The birds will dive-bomb the cats if they dare to walk out in the open, and the cats just duck their head down and run to get away.
I've always wondered why the cats put up with it, why they don't just stand their ground and swat at the bird. I think the birds must be protecting a nest to be this bold. I've seen them dive-bomb our dogs too. It seems there is always one bird who will "stand watch" and become very vocal if anyone (us, dogs, cats) go into the yard. I halfway expect them to dive-bomb me one of these days. They aren't foolin' around!
that's really FUNNY!!! ..........s/m
I don't know how that would happen...unless Diana is *padding* her age.
All I can say is I was at the Brooklyn Fox Theater with my older sister MANY times standing outside waiting to see shows with Little Anthony and the Imperials, Otis Redding, Martha and the Vandellas, Smoky Robinson and the Miracles, the Shirelles, and many many other groups when I was 12. I also saw similar groups at the Apollo Theater in Harlem when my school took us all there when I was 16, was the last time I/we ever saw Otis Redding unfortunately. The Tymes and the Shirelles came to my high school for the graduation/prom events to perform.
Diana Ross and the Supremes...I cannot remember if they were there at the Brooklyn Fox theater....they were not at the Apollo when I was there, but I loved the Supremes songs...I was such a Motown person, still love that era of music/songs.
fun reminiscing.....
lol, funny!

seems funny to me....
Jay Leno is one to make fun. He looks like the moon face on the old Mac tonight McDonald commercials.
LOL that is so funny- I used to think
that all cats were girls and all dogs were boys and that they would get married (yes, married) and have mixed litters of both. I can't remember where I got that idea, though.
You funny.
Not freaky.
How funny!
I found him creepy when he was younger and grinned too much, but now I find him cute.
But Brad Pitt annoys me because of the characters he's played (so immature). And for the longest time I saw him as a Robert Redford clone, physically. How is it they never played father and son?
How funny
I don't purposely watch cooking shows, but some channel has a cooking guy that comes on and annoys me to death. His voice is higher than mine; he sounds like Mickey Mouse.
Oh, how funny!
I may have a warped sense of humor, but this thread on Alli is making me laugh! Thanks for sharing this, Apple Scruff - got a great visual!
LOL! That was funny.

hah! thats funny!!
(the icon)
i was beginning to feel all alone out here, so am glad to see at least a couple of you wouldn't waste their time watching something created by the sicko MM.
Too funny - sm
I am usually the quiet one too. Other peoples kids are in and out of my house all the time but the difference is, these kids actually respect our household rules.
Sure, sometimes the kids get a little loud but they are kids. If I have to warn anyone it's usually with the "mama eye." They get it and pipe down afterwards.
This kid and her mother are truly something of an entirely different beast. Neither one has any manners and act as if everyone around them should be their personal servant.
Good luck with yours. I guess I reached my boiling point today. I have let things slide with them for a long time and today was the last straw.
That's funny,
I live in PA also. You would just go and pay at the door, I am not sure what they charge since I exhibit and never paid as a spectator. The one next weekend is in Somerset NJ, at the Garden State Exhibit Center. I am looking forward to it.
Too Funny! nm
