if you believe in blessings, i would (here goes this word again) "assume" you believe in forgiveness also. i think you should be the bigger one and try to contact your son and make an attempt to straighten things out. at least you will know you tried and then the ball is in his court. :)

You are blessed...
And should feel very fortunate to have wonderful in-laws. Merry Christmas!
you have been blessed!
take care and thanks for sharing!
I too am blessed....
to have a great one. It is not bragging, simply the truth. I married a man, not a boy, and he is respectful, as I am of him.
You are blessed!
Enjoy it! They sure can amaze you, huh? When you least expect it, they can make you feel sooooo incredibly LOVED!!!!
I'm blessed to have two.
There was a time when I didn't think I'd ever trust or be friends with anyone again, but since rekindling a friendship with a woman I knew since I was 20 it's been great. We go walking once a week. So far I keep it to just one day of talking with her so that time we do walk, we chitter chatter about anything and everything under the sun. My other friend's been there for me for almost 15 years. We have our ups and downs, but I think I can confide anything with this friend and vice versa.
You are so very blessed!!
I'm almost speechless. What a wonderful way for things to turn out! Even the hardships, when you share them, can bring you closer together. It sounds like there's a lot of love in your family. Thanks for that uplifting, optimistic post!
i'm so blessed but most people don't know
that i was molested as a child, that i have been held up at gunpoint, i escaped pursuit of a car-full of guys when i was on a bicycle, experienced date rape before there was such a term, had an intruder in the night that even opened my bedroom door when i had a broken pelvis (and i said 'who are you' and he fled)...was the subject of an attempted kidnapping and rape in a hospital parking lot and even a few other things. All this has impacted my life, my emotions, etc, but i am by most standards extremely blessed not only with my life still intact, my basic health, a good husband, happy healthy children, grandchildren, animals etc etc. God can bring us through it all, if we hang on to his hand.
consider yourself blessed - not many speak same
Talk about blessed
Go to myfoxatlanta.com and watch the video of a construction crane collapsing on a woman's car. Miraculously, she was NOT injured...wow!
You are very blessed - I know there are a lot of graet men (sm)
out there. I have many friends whose marriages are great. When my husband complains I bring up one of our friends and say - well you know how Sally's house always looks great? She doesn't work, or she works part-time, and I have seen Joe helping around the house, and don't forget her mother lives in town and can keep the kids when she needs to do things. But it never seems to sink in. I see couples shopping together who look so happy. Sometimes I get in my car and cry because I don't have anything like that at all.
I never do this. But if you want to be beyond blessed this morning, please sm
email me and I will forward you this amazingly adorable thing about DOGS. I am not really a dog person, but after that, I am now! sniff sniff
I would love to share this with everyone. I rec'd it from my aunt this morning. Looking forward to hearing from a lot of you!
This is the email to use:
I'm with you on being lucky and blessed...sm
my husband is retired from the military and we get a very nice retirement check every month from that. He does the laundry and cleaning because he likes doing this and runs the kids to appointments as needed. I don't let him go to the grocery store, though, because every time he goes he goes way over budget by bringing tons of stuff home. He does work 12 hours a week helping in the ASP at a local school just for the heck of it. If we needed him to work full-time he would but we're content with our income and lifestyle, and I love my job so there's no reason to do things differently in our household.
Thank you Lord, I am blessed.
Thank you Lord, I am blessed.
"A blessed event" nm
you have been blessed with furry friends!!
I can't imagine life without them. They can really make someone's day. I especially love when I hear about the animals helping people in nursing homes or using them in libraries during children hours. I would love to be part of that. What beauty they bring to this crazy world.
Also blessed. And he's incredibly intelligent, too. nm

consider yourself blessed/fortunate/lucky sm
went in with the best intentions, tried as hard as I possibly could, 15 yrs and 4 marriage counselors and countless tears later, I am posting the message below
I am blessed that my husband is so thoughtful. He bought
put a lot of thought into them. He has always been that way. He is very caring and considerate. Our daughter is equally caring and thoughtful. I am a very blessed and lucky gal.
No problem, I hope you are as blessed as we are with our Anthony.
And incredibly mature and smart. You are blessed. nm

That is wonderful! I, too, am very blessed! Merry Christmas! nm

Your relationship is truly blessed and an inspiration to others. Congrats and Love long! :) nm

Does anyone make a fruit cake for holiday giving or are you blessed

I saw that too and mentioned
to my hubby afraid really the nipple about to show, very revealing, not just low cut but almost out like you are saying.
I don't believe I mentioned that AT ALL
I only plan to show the page to the principal and, in case he is unaware, give him the website to find this information. I stand firm that the employees of that school and any other school should be very aware of who is entering their doors. Where did you get the notion that I was going to plaster posters all over? Naturally I am very concerned about that little girl and, from what I understand, counselors are involved.
This is just want I mentioned
in a previous e-mail - unbelievable! A few posts above I spoke of a story I just read about a wife whose husband was diagnosed with Asperber's at age 60 after leading a full functioning life.
I would have mentioned about...
Sex of child/teacher and age. I need opinion regardless of age and sex. Does it suit a teacher to use word honey and sweety? ethical?
Like was mentioned above, it is all in what
x
I did not see mentioned that your
grandmother wrote a will. Why did she not write a will?
Also: Why is the 'nephew' only your sister's nephew?
How is the relationship?
If your grandmother did not write a will, that means she died intestate, then the State takes over the distribution of your grandmother's assets. There are strict inheritance laws which will be implemented.
I doubt that this 'nephew' can take your inheritance away from you, since you are the grandchild and he is only the child of a grandchild. It seems that your grandmother's lawyer will be the executor, unless your grandmother gave a power of attorney to somebody else. This is the person who sees to it that all heirs get their right shares.
I have also 1 question, like the other poster:
What happened to the 'children' of your grndmother, namely the 'parents'?
They are the first in line according to succession.
I think like you mentioned in your other post
you just HAVE to wrap that and give it to him as one of his gifts for Christmas (unless he thinks of it first) LOL!
just trying to point out that the OP mentioned--sm
specifically that the franchise she was talking about began with the letter D and the above poster said "if you are talking about Pizza Hut..." shows how much they read these posts. lol.
Funny you mentioned that because
my favorite chair was the 1 they clawed to death and I put in an unused hallway until I got the time to spend making sure they loved the catnip more than my new leather. I hear them in the hallway going after that ole worn out chair. I would have had it recovered but once the scratching started, figured they would go at it again. I am doing cleaning this morning and this afternoon will have the time to put their catnip out and take my covers off. Does cutting their nails help any or will they still scratch as much as they do?
If this hasn't be mentioned before (sm)
Chances are the school has a policy regarding this. If not, the child/parent may have some recourse.
Generally school policies supercede general law and rights, i.e. search and seizure regarding lockers (they can go in them as they please).
I'm thinking if they imposed such a stiff penalty, they can back it up lawfully. It really matters not if we think it is right or wrong. If it's school policy (approved by the school board) and stated in the handbook every student gets at the beginning of the semester, then that's the bottom line.
I'm glad you mentioned that
I had actually forgotten all about him. When he said three children I thought three, who's the third? He was on a few weeks ago, but they never talk about him.
it wasn't much mentioned or
talked about, but after Katrina, other countries DID send money and supplies and I remember right, a lot of money was given to the 911 fund. I wonder about the supplies turned away Burma a couple of weeks ago. I am afraid that instead of actually reporting news, we are dealt the canned versions and have to suffer through many of the same reports over and over.
I know I mentioned about the gift
but it really isn't so much about that but that she can't find 5 minutes to stop by for my shower. It's right by her house. Maybe she invited me to her wedding reception thinking that I wouldn't come and would just send a gift? I don't know.
I am just hurt more than upset. It makes me feel like she doesn't even try but I guess the gift was her way of trying and my life is just in a different, more mature, place than hers. Having a baby puts life into perspective very quickly.
Thank you for the kind words. I hear this scenario with a lot of people but guess I just thought that wasn't us since we still talk and see each other often. But you are right, I can't let the relationship be one-sided either.
In case nobody mentioned it,
the cat could have a UTI or kidney stones. However, I had a cat that started urinating on the bed because we introduced a dog to the family and she didn't like the dog. Then the littlest thing would set her off, like using the vacuum cleaner, or DH staying out late. DH would come home, flop into bed, and shriek in a most unmanly fashion after landing in cold urine. I talked to a cat behaviorist, who told me to put out 7 different litterpans with all different types of litter. I couldn't live like that.
A second young cat we adopted at about 6 months of age played much too rough with me and with another cat we had. I had to take her back also.
I never once mentioned the Bible and have...
read the OP's post. I also addressed that she says the children are not fond of their father, but have also heard my own mother say that about me--UNTRUE. Personally, I think life is too short to put your needs ahead of your children's. If you do not agree with me, that's fine, too, but I stand behind what I said.
that's why I mentioned what cops said
about 99 out of 100 people answering the door in the middle of the night. I was absolutely horrified myself that I had opened the door and the cops said it happens all the time. Hopefully people reading all these posts will wise up.
I did not say you mentioned squirrel but others did
You said "people from the south will try anything once." That dearie, is total assumption because as a child I was served strawberry shortcake and would not eat as I wanted the strawberries separate, would not eat spaghetti as wanted the meat separate, missed out on other things I now enjoy. You stated we would try anything once. You are just wrong, own up to it.
Also blessed w/a great hubs, partner, and father to the kids. Fixes our cars, scrubs the carpets,

some of the items you mentioned for a child--sm
to me, are also too restrictive. Cribs are for *infants* who are not mobile, as well as bassinets. Play pens and baby gates are for toddlers and are mostly for the parents, who do not wish to be *inconvenienced* by supervising their off spring. Puppies are pretty much mobile from the day they are born. If you begin training them early, you would not need to be afraid to leave them unsupervised if you needed to be gone. They would already know. Besides, since when are *material things* like carpeting and furniture more important than a living breathing being?? If a person does not want to take the time to supervise either a puppy OR a child, then they should not have either one. This is just my opinion. I am entitled to feel the way I do, as are you. Crate your dog if you wish too. Barricade your children, as you do not wish to be *inconvenienced* by their presence. Watch your tv, drink your drinks, have your fun, and call yourselves good parents and tell yourselves, and others, that you do these things for the *safety* of the children and the pets, and for the protection of your prized material belongings. It all comes down to selfishness. JMO
How come nobody mentioned Outgrow? It works for me. nm
nm
The OP mentioned a site for alternative --sm
products. she said the list was quite lengthy and she printed it out. Perhaps she will provide a link for that particular site. I am sure there is something else we can use to soften our clothes.
I'd say IN ADDITION to getting a generator as I mentioned above.

What? No one mentioned Sean Connery?
He's still hot and he's old enough to be my dad!
I also wondered why she mentioned biracial
it sounds racist to me to tell you the truth. Instead of saying children, why separate them? Oh by the way, I don't live in Chicago, live in the south, have biracial child, grown now and she told me NEVER had a problem in school, if anything she always told me had the best of both worlds! She has a wide mixture of all races in her friends from Caucasian to Asian. I as well as she take people for how they act, not a certain color.
I had mentioned to her before about missing things
so this was the straw, you might as well say, that broke this camel's back. My hubs told me several times about things missing- I am not saying made from gold but stealing is still stealing whether you steal a pair of panties or my towels or cleaning solutions or whatever I have worked hard to get and why should I let anyone steal from me? And, bottom line on this, I brought her back over to my home to find the panties (I had placed in top drawer)- she opened the first drawer, the 2nd and the last and no panties- downcast eyes, never said she did not take. If I were accused of something I think I would speak up and say no, I did not do. She was the only person here besides me- and I let her "try to find them."
You mentioned 'logic' and 'man' together
It's been my personal experience that those two concepts don't go together.
