they won't get it when they have to get out in the real world. If they are not going to school and want to live with you why should you pay all their bills?
BTW, what I did was put half of what they gave me away and when they left home I had a nice little nest egg to give back to them to get them started. But they didn't know I was doing that until the time came for them to move out.
In this economy it is very expensive to pay for everyones groceries, laundry soap, etc. I think its a disservice not to require something. Maybe not half or even a quarter, but something! I don't want anyone to wind up like my niece at 45 with no responsibility at all and living off her widowed mother and her fixed income while making 30 bucks an hour herself plus overtime and spending it as fast as she can. Oh yes this is also in the state with the worst economy in the nation..Michigan! But then I guess she thinks she is entitled.

Art - BFA -- I don't want to teach and it - sm
openings for art teachers are few as it is, also it is hard to support yourself as an artist unless you are really, really good, or really, really lucky.

Not so much our moms as we just try to teach
xx
Well, that'll really teach her...
A lesson won't it now? I mean being confined to a mansion with servants, cooks, etc., and nothing to do all day but swim, tan, whatever else she does...wow, talk about injustice...amazing 
For me, it comes from not having anyone to teach you your worth when you are a kid (sm)
My husband was not nice even when we are dating. I had not been taught that I deserved to be treated with respect. Now you may say I am teaching my daughter the same thing - however, I'm not. I make sure that if she or my son see my husband treat me disrespectfully that I respond, in a respectful way to him that that is an inappropriate way for him to talk to me. I am still however, stuck with making a decision over what is better for the children. Sometimes these men who are bad husbands are not such bad fathers. It's a hard decision - not as easy as typing "just leave" on a message board.
Most people teach
their children Santa is an actual entity, not the spirit of Christmas.
My mom told me there was a St. Nicholas who gave to others and that "Santa" was just a way to replicate the wonderful intention of St. Nicholas.
Most people, including myself, lead their children to believe he is a real being, and it can be very disheartening when they find out it is not true.
Any thoughts on that specifically ... anyone?
Their parents don't teach them
and also, they don't get those classes at school. I guess also I was fortunate in that my mother was a tailor and dressmaker and I used to help her with finishing clothes; buttons, etc.
It is such a disposable society today also. If it is broken, don't fix it but toss it out and buy something new. With the economy the way it is, possibly that might change.
where I am they teach this class in 5th grade + up...

I think it is great to teach your kids
My daughter attended a school for special needs children as a mentor when she was 3 and 4-years-old. She loved it. The special needs children really responded to my daughter and she made great friends. What joy you and your daughter brought to this man's evening last night! After all, we all just want to be accepted no matter our religion, creed, etc. Thank you for sharing that nice story, and it sounds like your daughter has a caring/sharing heart!!! Bravo to her and you for raising up such a nice person, which is much, much needed in today's society! 
They teach them to say that when their real little rednecks :-) (nm)

Her mother isn't too lazy to teach her better sm
Her mother is riding her coattails and loving the party life. Her mother is too messed up herself to teach her anything.
Trose, I don't believe in heaven, but I would teach SM
heaven to small children, until they are older and can grasp death in the reality of truth. Hmm,did that make any sense? It's late.
I teach English as a volunteer.
While there are immigrants here who do not choose to actively pursue learning the language via formal means, there are many who do. We have a waiting list of up to 12-14 months due to class space restrictions and a lack of volunteers. English is not an easy language to learn, and it takes time.
And if you open it up for her to teach them her way, then you are opening it up to all (sm)
That means people who are homophobic or racist can also teach children their point of view? There has to be a line drawn somewhere.
400 lines per hour? You need to teach me a few things! LOL nm

I think you're terrible. Is this what you teach your children?

Not educational. This is something that should be the parents job to teach, not the school. sm
Besides, why should school children have a field trip to ANY wedding? What would people say if someone had a field trip to a church service? These are things that parents need to be able to teach their children when the time is right.
Then why did you just say it would teach tolerance? Apparently there was a goal. sm
I will teach my children love and tolerance myself. I carried them in my body and ate healthy foods, gave birth, and have taken care of them since the day they were born. I make the decisions for them. Thank God for now Americans are still free and we get to make those choices for our own children. And I would bet you don't have any.
I am 31 and they didn't teach home ec in school...
We had college prep courses...Believe me, I wish I could sew as well...doesn't mean I can't learn now but no, I was never taught in school...
Send the police to his house, this will teach him
a lesson, it is harassment.
Good grief. Do parents not teach their
kids ANYTHING anymore?
So the 'right way' to parent is to teach your kids to hate.

you all should also teach your girls about their cycle and how ovulation coincides with timing for p
i truly believe if young girls know how to chart their cycles and that there was only that 3-4 day period a month that they could get pregnant, teenage pregnancy would drop. ovulation falls basically in the middle of the no period cycle, which is the time most girls would be more likely to have sex to start with thus why you hear of so many girls getting pregnant having sex only one time. face it, they are gonna do it so help teach them as a mother to chart their cycles, protect themselves, and avoid those few days.
I still think it should be the parents who teach the child these things, not the school's place.
Each child goes to school to learn facts. They learn their social skills, values, etc.at home and from friends that their parents allow them to associate with. The school is a public entity full of many INDIVIDUALS who all have different values and opinions. Teachers should not be teaching children their own personal values and should leave that to the parents.
If wanting to teach my son our own family values makes me a bigot..then so be it. sm
I will gladly wear that label. Flame away if you want.
I will NEVER let some school teacher try to foist her own opinions on my child. And to do this on school time??
The bible flat out says that man should not lie with man or woman with woman. If that school district is an example of what passes for family values in SF, no wonder Michael Savage calls it San Fran Sicko. I have to agree with him. Pretty dress or no pretty dress.
it's not illegal, but it's inappropriate & he shouldn't be allowed to teach anymore

yoga pants. I also teach kickboxing so that's pretty much my uniform. nm

what I cannot figure out
I cannot figure out why the judge will not do the DNA swab on the baby and get that part of it over with. Why make Burkhardt suffer, not knowing for sure?
How do you figure?
The Bible states a mark but that can be interpreted many ways. This was written in a time when all the technology we have now wasn't know.
But just as food for thought, the implantable tracking chip is already here and approved by the FDA- so far it is voluntary but they are talking about using it to track immigrants and guest workers. How far down the line will this become mandatory for all of us, much like this new national ID?
If this doesn't concern you you are not paying attention.
No, cannot figure it out
going to work to have money means then you start learning?? I think there are grades that start even before high school showing children how to manage money. It sounds really like she has been very sheltered and continues to be with you asking about how to set up a budget for her. Is not age 18 considered adulthood?? Take a step back and let her do it on her own.
:LOL, I am not the OP, trying to figure it out as well.

I'm still trying to figure out what
Hoffen Koos was supposed to be.
It really is awful how dumbed down our nation is getting. I don't know if it is just me but in the past when I have gone on internet dating sites and they send me profiles that are full of misspelled words and poor grammar it turns me right off and I am not even interested in finding out more about them. I hope that doesn't make me a snob!
How do you figure?
What does the N in LPN and RN stand for then? Nurse. At the hospital and clinic in my city, the only people allowed to take patient vitals are LPNs or RNs. No CNAs or unlicensed people allowed. Secretaries and scheduling clerks certainly don't do it.
Don't try to figure this out
Years ago, probably around the 1990s, when I found my backbone, too long story for now, I decided to go straight to the top when inept people were rude, gave poor service and how I hate stupid, but try to overlook that if possible. If anyone fits into the categories above, I immediately ask for their supv or if in a store for example ask to see the supv. I did this just last week in Wal-Mart when going thru the 10 only item line 2 different people in front of me with at least 25 items each, went thru and nothing said, well not until it was my time to check out and then asking the cashier why she let them go thru, she seemed to ignore me, no good. I asked her again and then when did not get the answer sufficient for me, went to the supv. I did live in a huge city and the service there horrible, especially gov. I now live in much smaller town and that sure is an improvement there.
Two weeks ago had run-in with cable person. Guy showed up, worked here in my home, left and experienced same problem. I called back and the guy answering the phone argued with me that I HAD canceled the appt for that morning!!! I was blowing smoke out my ears and had to ask for supv once again. It is like fighting city hall sometimes just for decent service. The OP apparently just noticing the doctor's places being like this. This I personally have dealt with since probably the 80s and don't know why. I know with dr's office.
I totally agree with Pulling about getting names and time you called regarding appt. I do that all the time because my DH and I both have had that happen in times past. I am a real stickler for time anyway as I do my line count on an hourly basis so have clock right at my desk and use it for verification.
You need to figure out something first
You need to know how long the dictation itself is in minutes. If you record an mp3 of your own voice speaking at a normal dictation rate of speed, you could go back and see how many MB your own dictation took up when you dictated for 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, etc.
You also need to factor in the kind of formatting the customer is asking for (straight reports, letters, etc).
Does the customer know how long the dictation is in minutes?
When you figure it out, please let me know...
we have the same problem. The neighbors car radio and home radio shakes my house and we are on acreage, so their house is a good 200 yards away. We can feel their car coming before we see it. We complained to their landlord on Saturday and they turned it down for a while, but it is gradually getting louder again. They do this at 2:00 in the morning. My husband has to get up at 4:00 a.m. for work and I get up around that time, too. I have called the cops and they have received a ticket, and apparently three others prior to our moving in, but it does not stop them. I am irritated because my landlord specifically told me that "those people don't live next door. That house is vacant and being foreclosed upon," before we moved in when I said that I did not want to live next to people who are that loud. Sorry, now I am venting, but I really dislike my scumbag neighbors!
If I can only figure out what she is meaning, then
it is alright. One time she said had made a cake from strap?? I wondered and thought, hmmmmmm and then she was telling me how you mix all the flour, pinch of salt and so forth and then I knew she meant from scratch, not a strap! She is a trip though, has been around now for about 14 years, does any and everything I want, including the grass if need be!
Yes, I married one, and he's from NY. Go figure! LOL

Still trying to figure out what woodpeckers
you have - one is probably the red-bellied because it has red head but because there was already a red-headed they named it because of a little blush of pink on its belly - it is big - looks more like a flicker. Do you have a pileated - with a red crest on top? I have red-belly, downy, and yellow-belly which I have to chase away because it makes holes in my Crimson King Maple.
hospital ~ go figure!
I have it in my Expander to autocorrect.
How hard is it to figure out whether
the doc is saying the first or last name. Some people will complain about anything.
Figure it has to be drugs of some sort.....

Give me a ballpark figure on
your pay per week as to whether it is better in the long run.
How do you figure leasing is less expensive?
I've tried doing the math on that several times when we were going in to buy a car, but I never see it as being a saving. If I plan to keep a car for as long as it's useful and relatively trouble-free, leasing makes no sense. If I pay off a car in 3 years, or even 5 years, I could drive it for another 10 years and not have any car payments. But if I continuously lease new cars, I'll always have a car payment. The years w/o payments are money straight in the bank for me. I could see it being cheaper if you plan to buy a new car every couple of years, but I plan to drive my cars until they sputter, cough and die.
Incidentally, I just looked at a camry hybrid today. time to replace a puffing 12 year old car with 189,000 miles on it. I like it. Not sure the gas savings will outweigh that sticker price, tho. wow!
Any father figure who can lay the smack down?
You're the mother, it's your nature to protect, but somebody needs to protect you in this situation as well. I have no advice at all...I've never been through something like that, and can't even begin to imagine what it's like to be in your shoes.
She really needs an intervention or something...too bad she has frigged up her life so bad that not even the military would take her. That's the only think I can think of that would strip a person down to their core and rebuild them up bit by bit all new like without costing a small fortune that the private "reform" places do. She is 19 though, a legal adult. Maybe a one-way bus ticket, some cash, a peck on the cheek, a "you are the weakest link--goodbye."
I have a dalek action figure!
and a box of Jelly Babies from around 1983 my mother bought from PBS! I absolutely ADORE the new Dr. Who series and Torchwood...but I get it off BBC3 and it's all unedited and just freakin' awesome!!
Figure skating outfits
 My oldest daughter has just begun to take figure skating lessons. Anyone have those outfits for warmups that they no longer need? The ones available on ebay mostly ship from China. Thanks!!! Any information on where else to find them would really be helpful!
ballpark figure just for extractions....sm
I've got a quote right in front of me from an oral surgeon.....all upper teeth plus two lowers including general anesthesia....$2863.000!!!!!....On estimate insurance would cover about $1900.00, but that wasn't guaranteed.....It was suggested by both the dentist and oral surgeon that I wait to have the dentures made about 3 months later for a good fit and after the swelling has gone down....reasoning for that is you have to have them realigned repeatedly at more cost and sometimes they'll never fit right.....Starting cost $450 on up to about $1000+....Good luck to you....I'm still trying to save up enough $$$. I've had root canals, crowns....thousands of dollars of great work done over the years, but now come to find out I have degenerative bone in my maxilla and they won't hold.
Yeah, and it took her 12 weeks to figure it out... boy - sm
If I was 16 and late more than a week I would have done a home pregnancy test then, not wait until I had missed at least 2 periods; then think about it for a week before telling anyone. I think she wanted to get pregnant and wanted to be far enough along before telling anyone so they wouldn't/couldn't push her to have an abortion. ----reminds me of my brother's best friend's girlfriend (now wife)----she was 5 months pregnant before she "discovered" she was pregnant, get this she was/is a nurse, and yes he married her, guess she figured he wasn't getting her to the alter fast enough. Need to ask my brother if they are still married (this was back in the late 80s)
