should have had enough respect to understand and NOT come. Or they could have offered to come for the weekend and take over your duties (cleaning, cooking, watching kids, etc.) so you could go off by yourself and study. I'm sorry you didn't pass and by one point, is really a rip. Cheer up! :-)

ROFL! I just told hubby I was going to do that.
He came home early from work today and wanted to know what was wrong with me. I burst into tears and told him about how lousy my job is, how little money I'm making and that I should just go work at Burger King or Shopko because I'd make more money. He tells me a job feels like that sometimes. It's not a feeling, though! It's reality!
I will tell you what I would love to see, what my hubby told me tonight
He said are you sure they have your birth certificate year right? I said yes- will be 65 in 2 months and he said you absolutely do not look any older than 39! and repeated it several times! So I will say I would like the doctor to say 65-year-old female looking younger than stated age- just like my hubs!
I was working yesterday and told hubby
I absolutely without a doubt think all predoctors (new word I just made up, if they can, I can too) have to go to school to learn how to dictate horribly before being able to become a true M.D. Snort, cough, sniffing up phlegm, swallowing their spit, irritates the crap out of me.
Darling hubby, dumb hubby, dufus hubby. Take your pick. I have been known to use all three--

Look! I have relatives in CA who come to USA
NM
My New York relatives used to rag on me:
and say when I visited, "She's from Massatoothetts where they thay 'Pahk the cah in Havaad Yaad.' " (Note: My relatives have no teeth, hence the lisp.)
Cue the banjo's.
I think relatives are the worst ones sometimes--sm
I had to really spell it out for my mom a year or so back, to stop calling me three times a day and telling me to *take a break* because she did not like to see me work so hard. I really hated to hurt her feelings, but that was the only way to get the point across. I HAVE to work hard, to get money to live on...no one else is going to do it for me. So, I totally know what you mean!. Sorry mom, but you just didn't understand...
I have relatives in Port St. Lucie and....sm
they used to live in Miami, but lost everything to Hurricaine Andrew. Now that they're in Port St. Lucie they have learned from the "Andrew" mistakes and for Wilma made sure they had plenty of food, water and gas for the generator that they bought. They knew they should have gone to a shelter but during Andrew the official shelter they were in had its roof blown off and they sat there wet and cold for hours until the storm blew over and decided to not do that route again. They knew with Wilma that they risked having their home destroyed while in it but made that choice.
They did sustain damage to the house with Wilma but aren't waiting and insisting that the government bail them out. They had already talked to a contractor before the storm and had him lined up and ready to come out after the storm was over so they didn't have to wait on long waiting lists. These aren't rich people - my aunt is a retired school teacher and my uncle has been disabled for many years. They're just smart enough to realize that if you live in an area that is prone to severe storms that you have to be prepared or not whine and expect the government to bail you out.
The people in Louisiana knew days ahead of time that they should get out of town and they didn't. It didn't help that the Mayor there basically blew the situation off until after the fact and then decided the federal goverment should have done what he should have done in the beginning - made arrangements for people to get the heck away from there if they didn't have travel means. Instead he transported people to shelters that were right in the midst of the storm and then cried to the world that the government purposefully caused people to die. Gimme a break. IF anyone is guilty of that it's him because he didn't take the appropriate actions which were even outlined in the New Orleans City official disaster plan.
Living in Georgia and in a "tornado alley" part of the state I know my odds are that my house could get demolished by a twister. When a severe storm arises I high-tail it to the basement. Since we also get remnants of hurricaines at times, ice storms, etc. I always have enough food and water to last for several days in the basement, along with plenty of candles and batteries. I also have lots of logs for the fire place to cover winter storms.
You don't have to be rich to prepare for a disaster.... just smart about it and plan ahead of time. If you live in a coastal state then buy that hurricaine insurance and don't whimper that we need to buy you a new house if you don't have insurance and your home gets destroyed. I have homeowner's insurance but if my house were to burn down and I didn't have insurance would it be the government's responsibility to build me a new one? No.
I definitely think its best to avoid relatives this year.
I'll join you for a toast on Thanksgiving? The idea of being alone during the holidays still sucks, but its a change from the strain of being with relatives, and a first. Might be kinda nice I guess.
With an air card your relatives don't need a router.
An air card pulls the signal from the air similar to a cell signal. It is a type of internet the same as cable or DSL. What you are needing is WiFi capability, to connect to an existing network. If they don't already had a network setup maybe they have high-speed internet and you can just hook your computer to the modem, at least long enough to download.
If relatives only have one computer they wouldn't need a router unless their computer was a laptop and they wanted to work in other rooms of the house.
When I go back East to visit relatives
I am shocked that some things are a lot cheaper and briefly consider a move, but I adore the weather here. I also don't get why they send all the good veggies/fruits back there and we get left with the icky ones (unless you go to a farmer's market - which is what I try to do). Maybe the good ones survive the trip better and they figure we can deal with the shopworn ones locally.

It's the only place I have ever lived.. Great place to retire or raise a family. Low crime rate e
living is pretty easy here. Low stress..
I don't know how you can take off for weeks at a time with all your close relatives and go to Aruba
and not be wealthy. Could you? Indefinitely? You and your husband? And her husband said they may buy a house there if necessary because the mother is not going home w/o Natalee. So assuming that resort island property is not cheap, they can afford to buy a house in Aruba? Can you?
toxic friends/relatives--ADMINISTRATOR PLEASE EXPLAIN
Mine is my mother. She is an extremely angry woman, and I honestly think, her seeing me happy, makes her dislike me even more. When I go to visit, which is not often anymore, she sarcastically says "yay look whos here" and does not have anything nice to say to me. She is usually drunk or on drugs so she falls asleep when I try to talk to her, and she criticizes my every decision and points out the things about myself that I hate. One thing, is that i'm not good with people, and she has to remind me of this on a daily basis, like when I tell her i'm going to start school or take classes she will say "but youre not good with people, I bet youre nervous" or snide remarks to that effect. She criticizes how I look, how I do my hair, what I wear, just about everything. When I leave there, for the next couple of days, I feel very angry, my self esteem feels as low as it did when I was a kid, and i'm just sick. I know she is my "mother" but its affecting me so much that I think I would have a better life if I distanced myself and not let her be so involved where it would affect me. Wondering if anyone had to make this painful decision with someone close to them. I'm changing and she is stuck in this bitter hate the world phase, where she has always been. 
Your hubby must my hubby's twin. sm
He can't find anything or put anything away either. He did learn a long, long time ago to empty his pockets, though. I have a nice big doghouse where he spends with his dog with things get too hot. Or, he can sleep in his corvette, but it gets a little cramped in there!
It is not hubby, is her father, but not hubby. nm

I beg your pardon. I have elderly relatives in nursing homes who are constantly in and out of
hospitals. The elderly especially need our reports to be ACCURATE, as nobody gives a hoot to "talk" about them, let alone doctors getting to actually know and remember patients. EVERYTHING about their acute care in hospitals is taken FROM THE PAPER MEDICAL RECORD, and also when they get bumped back to the nursing home. The caretakers take ALL info from the transfer sheet. Reality check for those who need help most - elderly who cannot rattle off their histories themselves.

The position varies from place to place..
Sometimes you end up doing VR, which can be really easy or a real pain. Sometimes you end up simply editing files and all is good. Other times, you end up with more job responsibilities and hours than you ever wanted. All in all better than typing LOL.
I told you once, I told you twice, eTransPlus is going down the drain!
Don't expect communication from anyone, we are only little "peons."
My hubby is..
In the Army. He makes more money and carries the benefits...medical and dental. This is actual the ideal job for me as we move a lot. I stay home and watch the kids too, so I am not making a lot of money at this.
Hubby is away, I'm going with you lol nm

Not me, but my hubby did (sm)
My husband dreamed of his first wife's death the day she died. She was only 43 and not apparently ill.
hubby
we are blessed.
hubby
you have to find a husband who is willing to help with the chores or at least help you out at times. My husband helps me out on the weekends and the weeknights we take turns with the kids and dinner (and he works 10 hours a day) hope you can find a happy medium.
My Hubby
He sounds like yours. Mine also works 12 hours a day, and he out with all aspects of the housework, including laundry as well as the outside work. He knew it was important for me to be hope since I couldn't be with our first daughter.
Hubby has this....
Every company is different...but the profit sharing is usually paid out either as a bonus once or twice a year. You will have to read the specifics on your plan. At the last company he was with it was pretty much profit sharing in title only until he became a vested employee. 401K is completely different.
My hubby just got me a new one
from Tiger Direct for only around $300-something. It is a pain though to move things.
Otherwise I'd have to call in a computer geek type to try to fix it. I have no talent or patience for computer problems.
I hope it gets fixed quickly.
Your Hubby Gets Around
They have 3 cables cut now in totally different areas. What a coincidence!
my hubby
Well, my hubby was on a total of 32 prescriptions meds before he passed away, and I thought that was a lot! But, over 50, that is just sad.
My hubby gets it right now. Here's how they...
This is just a small excerpt from the website. It was easier for me to copy and paste then to try to explain it!! lol. It varies from state to state. Go to Google and type 'unemployment benefits yourstate". It's the UIA-Unemployment Insurance Agency. It will tell you everything you need to know like when to file, how they determine eligibility, etc. Or type www.yourstate.gov. I Hope you never have to use it. It took maybe 4 weeks or more before my husband got his first check.
Amount of unemployment benefits
UIA staff calculates how much you receive in unemployment benefits by multiplying the highest amount of wagespaid to you in any base period quarter by 4.1%. The UIA adds $6 for each dependent you claim, up to five dependents. The weekly benefit amount is capped at $362.
To determine how many weeks of benefits you may receive, the UIA multiplies your total base period wages by 43%, and then divides that answer by your weekly benefit amount. The claim, however, cannot be less than 14 weeks or more than 26 weeks.
No hubby!

Not in the service but hubby is...sm
Im sorry that your husband is in such a mess but there are other ways of handling it. My husband is just finishing up a 20-year career and I know very well the things that go on. Your husband should have used his chain of command...that is what it is there for. My guess is he will get a court martial, probably go to the brig for a while, and get a dishonorable discharge.
hubby who went ua from marines
I was wondering the same thing? I'm sorry for your situation, but it seems it was brought about by the choices that your husband made himself. We all are not perfect and obviously he regrets the mistake in comitting to the service that he made & it will be a hard lesson learned.
But, for the life of me, I'm not sure why you are posting on theis board/ I thought the OP was from your Mom? about her son-in-law, then you, his wife replied to someone's negative comment? As a poster mentioned above, if your an MT, then it's reasonable for you to post here, but I think you would probably find more needed information from some type of military board, or Maybe Google it.
My daughter, like many of the "kids" who are in Iraq now, signed up for the reserves to serve their country but also to get help with their higher education..many never dreaming they'd be called to war. We had just returned from shopping, finally finding *the* bridal gown, walked through the front door to find my husband and the rest of our kids, along with her fiance (who is in the same unit) practically in tears. Yep, they both got their orders and they both were in the first invasion.
Their unit was military police but their initial jobs were to supply mortuary service! Not anything that either of them nor anyone else in their unit, mostly kids fresh out of high school, could have ever dreamed a year prior that they'd be doing.
I thank God they all returned home safe & sound and were able to have a beautiful wedding before my sil got called back. He's still over there, my dd is home and just finished serving as an honor guard for 5 different funerals within one week for kids that did not make it back alive and well. No matter anyones opinion about the war, when you sign into the military, you have to serve. Like many have posted earlier, there are thousands serving who are in the same shoes as your husband, with a spouse and kids they want to be with. But rules are rules, if you break them, then you will suffer the consequences.
I do not think it is fair for you to come to this board asking for help, then when peopl post a reply honestly, you get down on them. Yes, I know this is an emotional time for you, but it's also an extremely emotional time for those who know or have lost loved ones, or like myself, living in a town who have lost so many so fast and the funerals are tying up traffic more than construction is. They have been beautiful with the roads lined by thousands of strangers who just feel for the families of these kids. So be thankful, your husband IS home and will be able to come BACK home, after he pays the price for his decision, which is only fair. He stillhas choices, many of the kids do not.
Sorry, just struck my last nerve.
It's going around. I have it, too. So does hubby and daughter.

Hubby bought me ...
this great little Holmes I-Touch electric heater probably from Lowe's or Home Depot. Cost about $20... very light and compact with a blower. Hmmmm, toasty!
Traveling Hubby
I, too, have a traveling husband with so much responsibility in his job for the past 20+ years. Often I have had to be put on the back burner with a small child so that he could progress to the successful executive he is today. Things have never been about me, and I have had to accept this. I must say it was much more difficult when my child was young. When he is free, we have to remember to schedule nice things together and get those in his DayTimer before life marches on by us both.
tim is Elisabeth's hubby....sorry....LOL...nm
I will pass this along to my hubby. He's always looking for new...
investment opportunities.
Very thoughtful of you! Thanks!
Hubby is a CPA - I try to match him in pay :)

My hubby was a car salesman...
Kia's do not hold their value. You will lose money on this car. He had a man who wanted to trade in a Kia that was only a year old and the dealership would only offer them $2000 for the car. Needless to say, he could not trade it in as he still owed way more than that. I wouldn't touch one with a 10-foot pole.
Hubby IS a car salesman and says you
They are junk!
Okay, hubby and myself on a weight
even tho this is a fattening occupation, sitting on my rear all day, so I take several breaks and take 15 minute walks with the hubby and puppies (one of them is getting quite portly) so we can get in an hour of walking that way and I can still type and don't get so stiff.
Dinner tonight is low-fat lasagne and steamed carrots. Yum.
Dieting can be an adventure. I get recipes and think of ways to cut the fat and calories, make them healthier.
Didn't help my hubby. sm
But it worked great for his depression. He figured that was all that counted.
