Yeah, we had one too, it was called the head corner. nm

Yeah it is pretty horrible, my husband's parents called -sm
here in a panic to see where he was working today (he works all over and 2 weeks ago was at VT). He was at Univ. of VA in Charlottesville yesterday which was good to know. I feel bad for the families whose lives have been affected by this senseless tragedy, it is truly amazing how life can change in a split second because of something beyond your control.
Yeah, Tried to... even called the state attorney general's office
to see if a medical facility could get away with charging that kind of interest and they said as long as they notified you prior to the bill, it's okay because you basically agree to the terms when you accept that form of payment option, which I didn't but... They advised me that I would have to hire a personal lawyer to fight it and I figured it wasn't worth it for a balance of 200.00.
Pretty bad because that is the closest hospital. The next closest is almost 200 miles from here so they really stick it to the people who live in this community when health care is already sky high and the care is not entirely satisfactory either.
Wow, judgemental much? How about those of us who pay sm
for everyone's kids, who are childless ourselves?
i don't think you are judgemental at all sm
he is selfish in a lot of ways. i do EVERYTHING around this house and he knows it and he admits it. but i get tired of it. i've told him several times i feel like a single parent. he's not as active with the kids as i would like him to be. i pretty much put my kids before him because they don't get much attention from him because he's always sleeping. oh, i could just go on and on, but i'm not. and he's not one to really sit down and have a heart to heart with. i've tried to talk with him when things are bugging me and he doesn't say much back to me. he's not a communicator. and he never talks to me if something is bothering him. so i figure, why even try to talk to him and tell him how i feel about stuff. he doesn't open up to me. his whole family is that way. it's really aggravating. even just normal everyday conversation, there just isn't much talking. sometimes i wonder if i couldn've found another who i had more in common with. i met my hubby when i was a teenager and that's the only one i've ever dated. we've been married 14 years and been a couple for 21 years. but we are just so different. i'm much more outgoing and like to do family things, keep in touch with friend, etc, but he'd rather be a hermit and stay home and sleep or just lay around. i don't like wasting my time, because there's not much of it. i like to try to make the most of my time, whether it's visiting with family, playing outside with the kids, or just sitting down with the kids and playing a board game or reading to them. he never does that stuff with them. owell, i'm really sorry i got off on a rant here.
sometimes i think i'd be happier a single person. but i'll never leave him. i do love him, but don't feel in love any more and it's just easier staying put. we have a good life (as far as having a nice house with lots of land and not many bills), it's just we don't have much in common.
ok, i'm done. sorry for this being long and going off.
Wow! So judgemental. And so wrong... sm
Sorry to disappoint you, but you don't get to call me selfish and impugn my parenting skills - because I don't have kids and don't plan to - which I'm sure is a great relief to you, as I'm certain I'd use a crib (gasp!) if I did. (Oh, and I don't drink, either!)
I was trying to point out what I see as the similarites between babies/cribs, puppies/crates, which I still think is a valid comparison. We'll just have to agree to disagree. Because I'm not changing my mind about crates keeping a dog safe, and being an excellent training tool when used properly.
To give you an example, we have 3 dogs, all indoors. Only the youngest one (1-1/2 y/o Rottweiler) is crated, and only for about 1-2 hours a week (that's 2 hours a *week*, not a day), which is the only time there isn't someone home with them, when I run errands and DH is at work, and it's for *her safety.*
Why? Because when she saw a cat in our front yard, she got so excited she barked and jumped up so hard on the window that it *shattered.* We were home when it happened and luckily she only nicked her leg, but she what if she'd hurt herself very badly - even bled to death? (I'd suppose you'd blame me for not training her well enough, or you'd call me selfish for having the nerve to leave her long enough to go buy groceries...)
Nope. I'm not about to let something like that happen when we're not home, so she stays in her crate if we're gone somewhere, until we get the windows fixed (see below).
My dogs are like my kids, and I'd do anything for them. I could care less about the window or any other material things. Those things can be replaced, my dogs cannot. Who cares if they chew up the couch? I can buy a new couch. But if the dog swallows the material off the couch and gets an life-threatening intestinal obstruction or something? THAT I care about. And if I need to use a crate to prevent things like that, I will.
My dogs also travel in the car either in a crate, or with a seat belt/harness for dogs, for their safety. (Would that not be like a child in a car seat? Oh, wait. I guess car seats are just for parents who are 'too lazy' to watch their kids...!)
We're going to replace the broken window and get a laminate coating on it and the other windows near it to strengthen it so it can't break again. Then she can be left out of her crate if we're not home, because she's housebroken and fine in the house otherwise, as our our other dogs, once past the puppy and 'teenage' phase.
At that point, the crate door stays off, and they go in and out of it as they please, to sleep in it, or take their toy to chew on in privacy (from the other dogs) or whatever.
Remember this all ye judgemental folk
God said if you don't forgive, He won't forgive you.
I believe in punishment but I believe that God is a rehabilitator.
If He cannot do it, it cannot be done and He can do anything.
WE, however, must forgive.
Vet called before and after surgery, and assistant called this
this afternoon. I cant wait to see her. She has only been gone for 1 day and as one lady stated, the house is empty. Working from home, I have become quite attached to her and her to me. Thanks for all the well wishes and Boo Boo Kitty thanks you too !!
yeah, yeah - Was/still am a Sam Cooke fan...
have a series of his albums (Sam's) and my older sister was into Jackie Wilson (he died very young)......never will be anything like Motown was..........*nods*......
then what would be 80-100 be called?
Well, I, for one, am not 60 yet tho getting *there*, look 45 (with no procedures/surgery), and my family history is such that they lived long long lives (paternal side)....and I plan on working another 15+ years......
back in the days, 50-75 years ago the elderly then didn't live to ripe very old ages, really.......
what you have is called a
dependency issue- you do not feel well, your hubby has hobbies not at home (could it be another woman or women?), you are not secure. You feel like you have to rely on someone seemingly not there for you.
Well, they just called
and said both were negative. Thank God. What a scare.
So, when your SIL CALLED, what did you tell her?
Your SIL is not a blood relative, but as your brother's WIFE, she is entitled to her inheritance.
When my husband dies, I surely am going one of HIS HEIRS, even if he does not write a testament.
But I will make sure that he writes one and gives ALL TO ME AND MY CHILDREN, nothing to sisters, LIKE YOU!
I am so interested in this, your case, because I hate it when legal heirs are cheated out of their inheritance.
So what did you tell your SIL when she called?
You got your and their inheritance, so give it back to them.
Was it really $ 750.000.-- ?
Give them half of it.
My sister took the whole amount of my mother's money, but AT LEAST she told me about it, later, after she bought her apartment. I forgave her for this, because she told me.
PLEASE STOP MAKING UP EXCUSES AND I REALLY HOPE THAT YOU GET INTO CONTACT WITH HER, YOU CAN IF YOU WANT AND GIVE THEM THEIR MONEY.
Why do they have to be called old
f.... Did you ever stop to think maybe not everyone in life desires to retire? I can retire but want to continue working. It is not always a money thing. Also, when you said appt mixup happened 10 years ago and then you said staff overworked due to rising job cuts, what does the one 10 years ago and relate to each other?
I'm the one who usually gets called, rather than
the main reason is that my brothers & sisters all have *real* jobs, and can afford the long-distance rates. On the other hand, as an MT, I usually can't afford it. But it makes sense, because I'm always here, and it's almost always an okay time to call me.
I also tend not to call people anymore because for some reason, my phone-kharma is truly the WORST! In the past, when I've called friends or relatives at home just to chat and say hi, it just never fails - at the moment I called:
* They were having a huge fight.
* They were having sex.
* A pet just died in the kitchen.
* A relative just died in the living room.
* The house is on fire.
Even worse, if I call their cell, turns out they're:
* In an ambulance racing to the hospital.
* They're on the toilet, or throwing up into it.
* They're in labor.
'Ooops! Did I get you at a bad time?'
Everyone on here has what is called
FREE WILL. No one makes you accept a low paying job, no one makes you sit around with no work, you would have to prove fired because of offshoring. Everyone can turn down a job if they want but apparently the majority here accept what is dished out to them. What you just said does not hold water.
Not everyone knows about why he was not called
MJ when the person made the 911 call, in fact out yesterday heard lady talking on the phone and thought it very disrespectful that the person referred to him not as his real name, she said it twice, why would they not say MJ instead of guy (or gentleman)forgot which one they said. I heard TMZ was first to report first of all. That was who got the first shots of the ambulance leaving the house so maybe they had others checking out, following on motorcycles the ambulance and got the shot that way. There were shots of Princess Diane as she dying in the car after her accident so guess paparizzi (spelling?) most everywhere.
She already told me she called and they said SM
she can't until March because they already had a claim. They would be cancelled if they claimed it. It does cover it, though.
The ones from that site are called - sm
New Lifestyle, the Chocolate and Chocolate Mint are great. Vanilla is okay, Strawberry not so great. I bit the bullet and ordered 2 months worth, in the past I have gotten 2 weeks worth and alternate with Total Soy shake powder which I get at BJs which is the only way to get a good price on these things in bulk. But the NL shakes are only available from that website unfortunately. Cost about the same as Omnifast, Medifast, etc. but from reports taste a whole lot better.
Cats definitely need something called
xx
Update. I called the CPS
It is so hard to do that to your own family but the way she treated those kids is disgraceful. The lady that took the call said that they probably won't remove the kids from the home but they will check out the situtation and give the parents an alternative route to childcare and not to use the grandmother.
That's what they called him on the news!. nm
LOL
don't like being called "ma," too
I correct my son when he calls me that - he is only two. He shifts from "mommy," to "mom," to "ma."
She called just as I was going to post
She called to tell dh that there was no hay seed available at a distant coop or a local coop. I said he found some at a feed store. She said okay. She said she knew he was over at her place but she was too lazy to go over there so that is why she called. She did gab a while to me but the only men she spoke of going out there were men interested in her property, not her. She said some wanted animals but she did not want that because they get out, the jump on her cars. One man wanted to plant like DH is doing but he would have 15 to 20 guys helping him and they would drink and she turned him down. She has 2 young daughters to worry about. She knew dh would do everything himself. I told her, well, he may have me and our two little girls come and bring him cokes or food. She said Great that her girls would love that.
She has known dh for a while. DH and her ex used to be friends. Dh would help her ex care for their animals when they were gone. Her ex tried to get into a business with dh but thank goodness dh turned him down. He was a crook big time. It is a wild wild story about her ex. She did say that she remembers when dh and I were dating that dh would come over, he was so in love with me, talked about me all the time and that he just could not believe he had someone like me. She said she remembered feeling grateful that he was such a great guy and he deserved someone great too.
Well, I have got to go as I was planning on working extra today. I have typed this really fast and have no time to edit so please excuse any typos.
Oh, yes, I remember what they called
winters, years ago, hardly have any now. We have both gas and electricity both here and I just try my best to keep the costs down. I told the people in my home where I moved from they could accept my own budget bils as they were in the 70-80 range, unlike the new home I moved to.
Yes and when she called all females, then
you would have mothers of boys up in arms, calling the teacher biased/racist/feminist/
segregating, whatever- it never ends. If you are having the males and females in class TOGETHER, then you cannot send 1 group out and have chit-chat with the others. If a child goes to all girl school, would not have the problem of talking in front of the boys.
It's Called Christmas!

This is what is called a ploy...
…You basically are being played. IF he has money coming, then until he got "the money" I would suggest if in a bind, he either got a loan from a company or a family member that he could pay back. You see, he is not intending to pay you back, really so he has come up with this song and dance about from somewhere else. I would not let it worry me for 1 second and why should you rescue him?? He should be the 1 rescuing. You can only be taken advantage of if you let youself be. I am telling you from years of experience, this man means no good and he has no other place, just trying to get you to break down and feel sorry for him. Get some sense, gal!
I think it is called denial - sm
There is no denying when you see an actual picture, however. Your current height and weight give you a BMI of 37.4, which puts you in the severely obese category.
I would say it's called having no life
nm
That is called fraud.
x
Mom called friends?..........who are these
xx
Thats a new one. Being called the "T" word for being
x
We used to do that, we called it junkin'
Then we'd load it up and head to scrap shop and "rake it in." We also used to cut grass. My Dad did hauling jobs and we got a pool table one time. He'd keep what we could use and the rest we'd sell at yard sales.
I just called and they said they haven't been
grrrr
It is called karma.

I had no idea what it is called, but between...
the two of us, we make less than $100,000/year. We have two horses. A 2005 diesel pickup that is paid off, a house, 2008 charger that we are ahead on payments on and basically buy what we want most of the time. My 2-year-old son has several thousand dollars in his college fund and we have a good little amount in the bank. I must admit, though, we have an oustanding balance of $200 and some change on a credit card and I have a student loan to pay on, but the card will be paid off this month and the student loan interest is 1%, so it would be smarter to put any extra money on the house or the care, first. I think that, for the most part, we do pretty well on not all that much.
I know how you feel, but it is called
It is clapping and being proud and then at the last minute you fall apart so they can't leave without thinking about you all the time. She will either fail and come back after first semester and be your best friend again, or you will let her go and find another best friend. I don't think either is wrong. Traveling the world doesn't sound like a good idea for a young woman in my opinion. It sounds dangerous and I would not like my daughter to do that. Bottom line: If you want to keep her close you can. You know every button to push. If you want to let her go you can. She is still the kid and will do what you say. Just be careful what you say.
I called my mom right after the incident...sm
I told her. She keeps a loaded gun in her car and one in house. She comes to my house after work a lot. When she is at home, the doors are locked, and the shades are closed. Deadbolts locked. Sheriff has been informed of his issues and they said if he gives any problems at her house to call 911 and someone will come pick him up. She is prepared to shoot him if need be.
Sad but true. Welcome to my world.
Called "Talk and Die"

There's also something called Goo-Gone that works on sm
pretty much everything. It's reasonably priced - they have it at Wal-Mart and probably most places like Walgreens, etc.
So what will the show now be called -
ha ha ha - Seriously I love the show. One of the best shows on TV.
I have been called only once since I turned 18....
and I am 55 now. I was actually looking forward to it too. I made it as far as jury selection. They needed 13, and I was #14. Oh well..at least I got to see how the system worked. And even if I had been seated, there was no guarantee that the case would have gone to trial anyway.
It varies. Got called ONCE in my 20's, then nothing -
'til my mid-40's. Then it was pretty much every other year, though one time I got called a year later.
The first time I appeared for selection, my name wasn't even called. Then, two times it was called after waiting all day, but I wasn't needed. After that, I made it to the courtroom and it seems like each time I did, I made the jury.
The last time I was selected was kind of interesting, because each of us had to stand up and tell the judge what we did for a living and answer a few questions. She seemed to brighten up and seem very pleased that I was an MT. After that, I could've been at death's door, and she wasn't going to let me off! I do have to admit, though, I listened well, took reams of notes, and when we were handed a 4-inch-thick pile of the plaintiff's medical records to plow through in order to find a few certain details, that was of course my job. So I guess that's why they wanted me on the jury.
It's actually kind of fun. Met interesting people on the jury, the case was interesting, and it was almost like a small vacation to actually have an hour and a half for lunch each day. The downside was I had to work most of the night in order to still make my line count for work and get paid. I was doing a lot of coffee and No-doze to keep me going through the afternoons in court. Then I'd go home, take about an hour nap, and then start typing. Fortunately the trial was just a week, and not six weeks or more!
it is called a yard
wait until a common pay day and haul your stuff in the front yard!
It's called Medicaid.
If you're working, you probably don't qualify.
I would call doctor's offices and ask if they have a payment plan. I sure as heck wouldn't be able to afford to go if I didn't have insurance. My FP charges $120 for each visit. I cannot imagine what a specialist would charge.
I prefer to be called...
nutritarian. Going meatless is easy. We love it. Need recipes... email me. :-)
A lifer here, too. It used to be called a disease!
That really freaked me out on hearing that diagnosis. Cysts and pain come and go - supposedly we are to avoid chocolate and coffee/caffeine. yeah, right! No way! I do not do breast self-exams, and was also instructed not to do them as well by my OB/GYNs and surgeons, as we will always find a lump and then freak out. I have yearly detailed mammos - dozens of shots for surveillance. Had a cyst aspirated now and again, and have always been fine. In my 50s now and have gotten used to it - not lazy about it, but just not so afraid. Information is power! It is a very common "condition", by the way! We are all in good company!
I can't repeat what I called him today when I...
opened the Cheer box by the washing machine and jumped about a foot. Just kidding.  After the Cheer box, he went into DH's car and then the fridge and I finally put him in DH's closet. Don't know if he has been found as of yet or not.
I guess he does need a name. I will have to think about that.
The reason it is called a hysterectomy is sm
in Victorian days, doctors, of course were male. They thought women were hysterical, in the psycho sense. They freely did "hysterectomies", removing reproductive organs, and even a woman's clitoris, hoping it would calm them down. (probably make them more like men).
In our area, there is a program called
"Mended Hearts". I am not sure if this is nationwide, but there are volunteers that will come out who have had the surgery, and they talk about how far they've come. Another option, I guess would be cardiac rehab, and I am wondering if that would lend some support as maybe he feels a little alone in his quest? Best of luck and hope he finds his way soon.
