In Reply to: abused pit bulls - truffle
I really wish I had all the answers to everything, don't we all? I don't know why pitbulls are the most talked about and abused breed. And yea there are alot of criminals that use the dogs to fight in order to get them some quick money, it's sad it really is, and yet the dogs suffer for it. And you know with the pitbulls it is almost like a race issue to me. It is no secret that the jail cells have more blacks than whites, so does that men all black people commit crimes then??? no it doesn't. Like I said before I always look at the bigger picture. I hate dog attacks happen I really do, I wish we knew why in every single case, but we don't and it's very sad.

Kerstin, not allergic to anything. We do limit sugar because it makes her very hyper to get much (give her an ice cream and watch her bounce!) She loves sports and plays soccer, flag football and basketball, art, music. It'll depend on what we decide to do how many people we invite, but more than likely there will be at least 10 kids and 30-40 adults. She doesn't have a favorite color. She LOVES to be the center of attention.
Thanks for your answers everyone! (nm)

It is free. Any footpedal will work. There is a function where you "acclimate" (don't know the correct word) but you get your foot pedal working with it. Also, there is a button on the software that says word, that will give you MS Word to type in but I have never used it. I use my regular MS Word.
Also, there is a settings function so you can slow down or speed up the dictation.
Hope that helps.
Thanks for all your answers...
In response to some of your thoughts, he and I will never have kids together. We both had our own kids before we got together and neither desire to have any more - and yes, she is the baby.
She does not accept me because her mother teaches her that I broke her family up (which is way off from being anywhere near the truth).
I know it is not going to change and in fact, he is so mad at me about it right now that he has now been gone for 7 hours and who knows how long before he will calm down enough to come back home.
I don't know if I can live with it anymore. I have tried talking to him at a neutral time, but he still thinks I am picking on his child and that I am just jealous and selfish because I should understand that he is just trying to make sure she knows he loves her. The sad part is, everybody sees how spoiled and manipulative she is, but him.
His friend's kids do not want to play with her, his family does not want her to spend the night with their kids, she tells me that the kids "cheer" when she is picked up from after school because she is leaving... and when you point it out to him (not in detail about nobody liking her), he just says she has had a hard life and he knows she's mean. Duhh, then take care of the problem!!!
Thank you all for your answers -- a few more ?s
Firstly, proving the debt is invalid in my case. I purchased a timeshare trial -- not a full timeshare. Apparently the laws governing these contracts are gray. The timeshare company claims it is not a timeshare and therefore does not fall under the same cancellation rights. I disputed this through the state's real estate commission that I purchased it through, but they were only acting as "mediators" and were not able to rule on it. In order to have that issue resolved, it would need to go to court, which would probably end up costing me more than the contract itself.
Secondly, has anyone ever been sued by Apelles? Some debt collection agencies don't waste their time suing, and I'm curious if this is one of them. If they are likely to sue, we will probably end up paying the thing and then using it since it doesn't expire until this summer. I don't want to pay for it after it expires and lose double.
Thanks again for your answers so far. I hope you don't mind helping me a little more!

Yes, I do mean the old slides, the kind that are little square things (a bit bigger than a stamp), and you put them in a projector and look at them on the wall or one of those white screens.
My mom had 8mm movies of us growing up and she put them on VHS (before DVD was invented) and they are excellent quality. I even have my moms wedding and my aunts wedding, and moving photos of my little sister and me playing (she died when she was 18 months old and I was 2, so those are priceless). If yours came out dark I do believe whoever did it probably did a crappy job and if you could get it redone I'd look into it. Unfortunately I'm not sure who to look for that would do that. Maybe a shop that develops pictures would know of someone.
Once I get all our slides scanned I might look at doing it for others and put out some of my samples, but right now just been too busy to do that. What I also did was I scanned in some photos, printed them on material and made a quilt out of them, so if you sew or quilt you could make pillows or something with old photographs.
Thanks for all these sweet answers and get this,,,
my dear one left for work at 12:30- just called and said he was talking with his friend in California and his friend met a new girl who said she was a size 14. My hubby wanted to know if I was that size or smaller, even a 12. Lordy, lordy, now you know why I say thank you Jesus for this man. I am a size 20 pants but would love to be a 14. I just carry myself well. Ladies, there is still hope out there for everyone!!!

My son is a realtor and has experience in this sort of sell. I don't know where you are located but I'm sure he will have some good information for you. You are probably sitting on a goldmine. Where we live, the same thing is happening. Older homes on the water are being bought and torn down to build mansions - just feel lucky that you are probably going to make a mint when you do decide to sell.
I know doctors don't always have the answers
I've been in the medical field since 1971.
I was just venting a little - we were so relieved it wasn't bedbugs, and we were hopeful that we would find the real cause and be able to eliminate it. It was kind of a let-down when we didn't.
As far as we know, my husband hasn't been exposed to anything unusual at home or on the job, and his food intake has been normal - nothing unusual.
The only thing we can think of is we moved into this house late last summer, so he did mow the grass a couple of times, but of course different things grow and bloom in the spring than in late summer and fall. He does generally have the usual allergies involving itching eyes, runny nose, sinus congestion, etc., but he has never had a reaction like this. He was a Boy Scout and went camping and hiking all the time, so I know he knows what poison ivy looks like! And it doesn't look like poison ivy rash.
Maybe somebody out there has had a similar experience and can help us - let me describe his symptoms. It usually starts out as a series of small red bumps that are in a fairly straight line. For example, in the crease of his right arm, there are about six little red bumps going straight down (proximal to distal) from the crease in a space of about 1.5 to 2 cm. There is another line, about 1 cm medial to that one, running up the arm (distal to proximal), about the same distance. When he scratches them (he tries not to, but sometimes you just gotta), they appear to turn into one big linear welt.
Any ideas? TIA. And many thanks to those who have been following our "saga". 
Thank you all for your good answers.

She's the same age as all the kids in her class. She started kindergarten at the right time (she wasn't one of the young ones). She's not into sports very much, but she does have a few extra cirricular activities. I think she's just disappointed because she never had these problems before. I wish she wouldn't be too hard on herself.

Favorite job: Being a staff writer on a weekly newspaper in Princeton, NJ. Did not pay well, but I got enough to live and have pocket money, pay rent, etc. Got to meet a lot of interesting people and interview. My stories ran in the paper, and my job was very flexible, I was single and worked all kinds of hours. Those days I actually lived a dream because I was not in it for money. Or, I should say I made enough to be happy and my job made me happy too.
Worst job was when I was an artist painting faces at Disney in Florida. I thought it would be great. It was the hardest job I ever had. I only lasted 1 day and worked 12 hours and did not even get paid because I was a temp and I did not return after the 1 day. It was a million degrees outside, it seemed (I just moved to Fla from up north), and I never sat down or even had a glass of water in all those hours. I had to smile 110% of the time (that is actually a rule at Disney, you could get in trouble for frowning), and the tourists always wanted more (I know they paid for it, but the line was really long and I only was allowed to spend so much time on each person). This was indeed a dream job, but truly the most difficult job I ever had, and therefore my least favorite.
Answers to your questions
If you had read the above, my brother deceased for years. That is the son (my father's) I talked about. No, I did not have the addresses of his children. No, I did not stay in contact with them. It was not my place to contact them about my father's insurance. The only time my nephew's mother (my brother's wife at the time of his death) called me was when she asked if I would go get her son out of jail in a small town in my state. I did not get anyone out of jail if in my own town. I knew nothing about bailing folks out. I saw them when they were little, 6 or so when my brother died. The next time I saw his daughter(6 at the time)was when she was 18. Not close, never was, not my job to look for others. I do not know what is strange about families not being all fuzzy and warm?
My answers inside - (sm)
Would you ever date/marry.....
someone who is less educated than yourself?
A: Sure. Just as long as they have basic everyday intelligent. Book-learnin' ain't everything.
someone of a different race?
A: Probably. Of all my friends, I only know 1 same-race couple. Everyone else is mixed. (Asian/white; Asian/black; Pacific Islander/black, white/black, etc.)
someone whose parent's are divorced?
A: Sure. No problem. These days it seems like almost everyone's parents are divorced. It'd be hard to find someone whose parents have stayed together, and it would limit the field considerably.
someone who has bad credit or alot of bad debt?
A: Absolutely not. Having it happen once you're married is bad enough. But marriage is enough of a struggle to adapt to, without going into it with debt problems. He'd have to get out of debt FIRST (without my help!) to prove to me that he was capable of doing so.
someone who is overweight or obese?
A: Slightly overweight, yes. Obese, no - but only because I'm a pretty athletic person. Our lifestyles wouldn't fit.
someone who affliates or supports a different political party than yourself?
A: Sure, as long as they didn't shove it in my face all the time. If they were capable of having a CIVIL converstion about it, that would be okay. But someone who wanted to argue with me about my values, or put me down, would not be a good match. It'd just be asking for trouble. Probably the best thing to do if you're of different parties is to make a pact to keep that subject CLOSED.
someone who is rude to customer service staff?
A: Absolutely NOT. That's a red flag. If a person can be abusive to service staff, they can eventually become abusive to YOU.
someone who talks a longtime on their cell phone when you are eating?
A: That's a huge no-no in a restaurant. I'd accept it on a FEW occasions at home, if something important had come up. But if I'd gone to the trouble to make a sit-down dinner together, then the least that person could do would be to have the courtesy to turn off the cell phone for half an hour.
someone who enjoys a different genre of music?
A: Sure, but that fits into the same category as political parties. I wouldn't want to be bombarded by their music if I hated it, nor would I want them telling me I couldn't play mine. I think there should be an agreement about volume level, and equal play time for each genre. Even better, I think the best answer to that one is HEADPHONES! ;)
someone who does not enjoy the same leisure activities as yourself?
A: Yes. Sometimes that can be a blessing. You don't want to be with another person 24/7.... each person needs a way to escape, to
're-create' as they say. All I would ask is support of my own activities. If he wanted to take off for a weekend to go snorkeling or sky-diving, that would be okey-dokey with me, as long as I could disappear for a ski-weekend or two during the winter.
someone who is a very picky eater or someone who is a vegeterian/vegan and you are not?
A: Not too likely, mainly because I'm not a 'foodie'. I eat whatever's available, when I'm hungry. I'm not a cook. Vegans seem to spend their entire free time obsessing about what they eat. Life's too short for that. It would only work if we agreed to each fix our own meals, and if they didn't get in my face about eating meat and junk food. And we'd probably need a really big refrigerator and kitchen.
someone who prefers to spend leisure time alone or with friends (without you)?
A: As long as it was mutually agreeable. (See leisure-time activities above.) Still, I wouldn't want someone who NEVER wanted to spend quality time with me, such as a walk on the beach, a vacation, etc. If you never spend quality time together, then I wouldn't see the point in bothering to get married.
answers to questions
He teaches english at a technical college.
I do understand that men and probably even some times women have a curiosity and I agree 100% with your husband's comments. It's just that it is all secret and I know the minute I head off somewhere he is cruising porn sites and all that entails. The fact that he doesn't always erase the browsing history and does it on a work computer is because he is careless and lazy, to be perfectly honest. If I ever confronted him about this I believe he would probably become physically abusive so my hands are tied.
As far as checking his browsing history and the ethics of that -- the first couple of times were by chance. Just about anyone using his computer can easily stumble across the history if they simply wish to backtrack to a site they were using. Now I do purposely look every few months. For about a year I told myself that it had stopped and I just needed to have faith. Then I checked about a week ago and it was there in lurid detail once again. I firmly believe that if you suspect something or have a hunch about someone's devious or even dangerous behavior that there's a good chance you are correct. I absolutely want to know if someone is lying to me on a regular basis or putting my best interests or health in jeopardy. If it requires me to occasionally check his browsing history to see if it progresses to solicitation then I need to probably get out of the relationship pronto instead of continuing to "spy" on someone as it is distasteful. One should probably should get out of any relationship in which a person is perpetually lying and living a secret life. This has not just happened with the porn in my particular case, there also was an ex-girlfriend. I say, arm yourself with knowledge in order to make the best decision. Pretending that things are fine when you know in your heart that they aren't is dangerous. I am NOT saying it is ever a good idea to spy on your husband's life for no reason other than being nosy, only if you have real concerns about a person's honest, ethics and morals.
Glad you got some answers
And I am glad you are feeling better.
I went through this about 10 years ago. Wet to ER repeatedly and was sent home.
The fourth trip, I took a friend who is a nurse and knows me who argued with medical staff there that there had to be a problem they were not catching. They brought in a urologist finally who did an MRI and found an absolutely gigantic kidney stone that had logded in my ureter. They had to go in and get it out because it would not pass.
I was back to my old self by the end of a week. I have had 3 babies, all natural childbirth, and I must say the kidney stone was more painful than all three kids put together!
Never refrain from going to the ER if you think you need to be there even if you think that you will be treated like that. Complain till you get answers. If the NP tells you that you will be better in a day and you aren't, make another appointment with someone else!
I don't knock NPs generally, but I have had a few run ins with a couple of them in the last year and some of them don't belong in that field!
Again, glad you feel better.
Answers to motherhood
I have 2 children, first son and second daughter. If I had my daughter first I would be like you, questioning about having any other children and probably would not. He was a breeze, she cried steady for the first 6 months, nothing wrong just cried. Now as infants they should sleep quite a bit. As time goes on your child will sleep less and less during the day. I would find it highly stressful to attend to a baby and try to work at home at the same time. Others will differ with me on this but I was working inhouse when my children born and never had issues with having to work around them. I could hardly get out of the house with the first one, so many things to do prior to leaving, bathing, feeding, make sure you have what you need to leave, what a mess. Traveling got easier with the 2nd but again never had to choose between do I get my hours and lines in or do I attend to my child.
Thank you for your answers - I used to love ER - still do but not as much
If its on (actually can't remember the last time I watched it), but I love the scenes in the ER and stuff going on. That little red hair guy who is in charge cracks me up. Forget his name but I think he adopted a bunch of kids. I also love the tall handsome doctor who I think is from Bosnia or Yugolavia, but when they start going to the homes of the doctors and start getting into their personal lives that's when they lose me.
I loved Mark Green and Doug Ross' characters. Those are still good shows, but I missed the episodes you talked about. I'm sure there will be repeats on some station sometime soon.
You can find answers to these questions on
the Animal Channel. It is not they are trying to take the baby away- sometimes the mother will either not feed the infant, ignore it, try to hurt it where the staff has to step in. They want the baby to survive and this is what that is all about.
answers to chain letters.
I don't like them but I get a chill reading the gloom and doom ones and start to wonder if the person who sent that really is a friend. I don't pass it to any friends. Here is a funny one you can send back though.
I want to thank all of you who have taken the time and trouble to send me your silly chain letters over the past years. Thank you for making me feel safe, secure, blessed, and wealthy. Because of your concern...
I no longer drink Coca Cola because it can remove toilet stains. I no longer drink Pepsi or Dr Pepper since the people who make these products are atheists who refuse to put "Under God" on their cans. I no longer drink anything out of a can because I will get sick from the rat feces and urine.
I no longer use Saran wrap in the microwave because it causes cancer. I no longer check the coin return on pay phones because I could get pricked with a needle infected with AIDS.
I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a wet dog on a hot day.
I no longer go to shopping malls because someone will drug me with a perfume sample and rob me.
I no longer receive packages from UPS or FedEx since they are actually AL Qaida in disguise.
I no longer shop at Target since they are French and don't support our American troops.
I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a stupid number for which I will get the phone bill from hades with calls to Jamaica, Uganda, Singapore, and Uzbekistan.
I no longer eat prepackaged foods because the hormones they contain will turn me gay. I no longer eat KFC because their chickens are actually horrible mutant freaks with no eyes or feathers.
I no longer have any sneakers -- but that will change once I receive my free replacement pair from Nike.
I no longer buy expensive cookies from Neiman Marcus since I now have their recipe.
I no longer worry about my soul because I have 363,214 angels looking out for me.
I no longer have any savings because I gave it to a sick girl who is about to die in the hospital (for the 1,387,258th time).
I no longer have any money at all, but that will change once I receive the $245,000 that Microsoft and AOL are sending me for participating in their special e-mail program.
Yes, I want to thank all of you soooooooo much for looking out for me! I will now return the favor. If you DON'T send this e-mail to at least 1200 people inthe next 60 seconds, a large bird with diarrhea will crap on your head at 5:00 pm tomorrow afternoon. I know this will occur because it actually happened to a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend . . ..
Life is good...
Funny, there aren't a lot of answers on this one.. nm

Funniest experience: Many years ago, I went out drinking with a friend after work and we got a little too intoxicated, and she wanted me to drop her off at her sister's house. She gave me what I thought were directions to her sister's house, and when we got there, I asked her if I could go to the bathroom. She seemingly knew where to go, showed me the bathroom, and when I came out, there were 2 people standing there in their pajamas wide-eyed staring at me. About this time I saw my car backing down the driveway, so I ran out the door and jumped into the moving car, and my friend said, "That's not my sister's house!!"

HappyMTRobin, answers to your questions
I have not used the card to buy because I do not have the money. If that were the case, I would not have money in 3 CDs at the bank. These accts are not touched and I have the interest just automatically rolled over when notified they have matured. I have had at least $10,000 on my CC before and paid it off (only have 1 and this is the same account). The last time paid completely off was 2004 and then I did not use the card again until around 2006. Come May my income will increase by almost $2,000 more a month due to social security coming into play. This is not a might happen, already signed up. Say SS went belly up, no problem there either as my 1 CC only around $140 per month and I can well handle that. As far as the father thing about paying cash, does not always work. My father flew out of town for a funeral in the 80s(he did not have a CC then) tried to pay to rent a car in cash and naturally turned down. So the cash only story does not always work. Good theme though.

Gift for receptionist answers - no more response needed sm
Thanks for the response(s). I just wanted to give her something special. She is a receptionist at a medical office I go to and I am not familiar with her culture. I have decided on something such as a candle, etc., I would like to have given her something very special as she is such a nice person and has simple tastes. My DIL is of Arab descent and she is also the nicest person you would ever want to meet in your life and I know she appreciates certain ethnic gifts. I don't think we should judge people by their country of origin but try our darndest to please them by giving them a personal gift they can use. That was my reason for posting. I don't like to insult other ethnicities because we are, of course, all in the same lifeboat. My DIL does her darndest to give me certain gifts I hold dear, even though she would never have use for them herself. That's what the message of Christmas is to me, acceptance of each other as we are and peace on earth, good will toward all. No more responses needed, thanks.
Ok, needing answers about furkids - baths to be exact
I have 2 boys- 1 has been bathed here recently and knows the ropes- he has a brother who is wild and hairy and has not had a bath in quite some time. Can anyone tell me- (and don’t tell me carefully!! ) how do you restrain a cat for a bath?
ADDENDUM. Just trying to get some straight answers and not sure what to make of this whole mess. nm

The answers to your questions are and there is coed sex education where I live, my goodness!
Yes I am female and yes I do have a female daughter. Again, what I really am saying is no way should you get an excuse for something that normal like a period, because IF all the females start having periods at the same time, no swimming. Sounds like making a mountain out of a mole hill. More important things to do with our time than club a teacher over the head when probably the kids that age talk about more sexual matters than a period. Kids are much more mature than these posting are giving them credit for and lots have had sex already by this age.
