Yeah, that would get on my last nerve. (sm)

In Reply to: Is it legal to keep a wild deer as a pet? sm - tiredtyper

I don't know about it being illegal to have them, but I would think they would at least need to keep them contained.  If that doesn't work:


2 lb. deer steak, tenderize cut in squares
1 green pepper, chunked
6 bouillon cubes, beef
5 tbsp. cornstarch
3/4 c. water
1 chopped onion
2 tbsp. oil


Place oil in frying pan, heat. Rinse blood out of deer. Place squares of meat in hot oil and brown. Add 4 cups water and 6 beef bouillon cubes. Simmer 1 1/2 hours. Add peppers, onions and cook another 45 minutes. Dissolve cornstarch with 3/4 cup water. Add to meat mixture. Cook another 35 minutes or until tender.

What nerve.... the little....
I would have gone up one side and down the other of that father. I would have made him look like a fool in front of his own kid! OOOH I wish I was there. What a nutjob!!!!!!
I do not let anyone get on my last nerve, if they try
I would stop that short. My father who was elderly was calling and calling. I moved and did not give my new number and it was four months before I sent that to him. Talk about peace. You can also get call blocking, have the caller sent to another number- perhaps cell phone??, lots of ways for folks not to bother.
Getting on this last nerve
I recently went to upgrade my kitchen counters to granite. Found a place close by and pleased with the price. However, there is a foreign person who owns and not that I mind that, but she keeps making these little digs about not being able to afford (I asked price up front and would do if I had $10 or 10 million), does not want me to go in debt for something (told did not want to do credit and did not want to take $$$ out of bank because would be penalized if taken out before maturity on my CDs and want to pay cash when property closes next month). Folded contract up and told me to come back when I could afford. Maybe this is just the way she talks because of being from another country?? Sold a rental home last year, selling another property next month and have my new home so barely qualifying for food stamps. I want to buy there but feel like I am having to prove or compete even with her remarks. Any come backs or would you just chalk it up to she really does not know how to talk to prospective buyers?
last nerve
If it were me, I'd definitely take my business elsewhere. That is just outright rude and if she isn't able to deal courteously with her customers she should not be in a customer service position. She should hire salespeople who know how to close a sale, not drive people away like she is doing. Tons of places sell granite countertops - who needs the aggravation? Definitely point out to her that she is rude, and that you are taking your business elsewhere.
Wow! Was a nerve hit???
I didn't think the OP was harsh. I'm not a grandmother yet, but I'm the mother of 18- and 20-year-old sons. Many of my friends are grandparents now, so I think I can speak for some of us in my generation regarding what we went through growing up. Most grandparents today grew up in the 1960s and 1970s. Those were pretty crazy times. I know grandparents who attended Woodstock. I've been to Ozzy Osbourne-Black Sabbath concerts where the air was thick with the aroma of weed and fellow concert goers were having sex in the seats next to us. So, yeah, we understand what it's like to grow up in that sort of culture, and we also know what it's like to raise kids in the moral-desolving pressure cooker of the current culture. You make it sound like all grandparents walked off the set of "Leave it to Beaver". That's just not the case. By the end of the 1960s and into the 1970s the pendulum had started to swing so far toward women having careers that we were often belittled for choosing to be home with the children. Remember Hillary Clinton's cookie baking comment during her husband's first campaign? In fact, stay-at-home moms were the norm for only one brief period in our history right after WW II in the post war boom times. There was a pretty awful recession in the 1970s, and I remember gas rationing and long lines at the pumps. My mother had to work two jobs, and my father, who was in construction, was often one of the first to feel economic ups and downs in his paycheck. But we had dinner together every night at the kitchen table. Before the stay-at-home mothers of 1950's t.v. fame, most mothers worked. They had to. Only the very privileged stayed home and waited for Ward Cleaver to come home from the office. My grandmother, who lived to be 94, God bless her soul, was born in 1908. Her mother died during the great Spanish flu epidemic in 1918. My grandmother was the eldest of four children, and at the age of 10 she became the woman of the house. She stopped going to school so that she could cook and clean and took care of her father and siblings. And no one thought that was wrong. It was expected because there really weren't any government social services -- no welfare, no foster care. Eventually, when her father's depression over the loss of his wife became so great that he couldn't manage to bring home an income, people in the neighborhood just took over. The two eldest children went to live with other families. The two youngest went to an orphanage. My grandmother's father just drifted away and his children never saw him again. My grandmother married at age 20 and had four children during the depression. Talk about having it hard. When I was a young mother trying to make ends meet and I'd cry to my grandmother, she brought me around to reality. She told me what it was like for her to raise children during that time. Many a night she cried over whether or not she could even feed her children or if they would have a roof over their heads. And she wasn't alone. Everyone, and I do mean everyone, was in the same boat. The Great Depression was enormous. She and my grandfather worked wherever and whenever they could. They brought home a dollar or two at a time and fed their children buttermilk and potatoes. They didn't sleep, they worried all the time. Today, my grandmother's washboard hangs in my kitchen on the wall next to my dishwasher. It reminds me that I have no right to ever say that things are harder on us today. They aren't. Generally speaking, most Americans have so many more advantages, choices and opportunities than those who came before us. Yet many in my generation and the one or two generations behind me are just whiners and crybabies who don't think about the big picture. They even dare to say they have a harder time as parents today. Please. Not even close! Every generation seems to believe that, but just a short trip through a history book proves otherwise.

I'm not that very old. But I've raised my children and I raised them well. I know what it takes to do that. It takes self-discipline, sacrifice and consistency. And you know what? That's exhausting. Parents today are tired. So what? All parents are tired. Offer it up, as the old nuns used to say. The kids have homework an hour a night. So what? They should have homework, and parents should make sure that it gets done, because education is important. There are parent-teacher meetings to attend, coaches association meetings, scout meetings, dance lessons, school recitals, etc. etc. etc. So what? Balance it out, quit what can't be done, do what can. Work because you have to. The kids have to be fed. It's still easier than it was a generation ago, two generations ago, three and on and on. We're parents to young ones for only a short time. Which reminds me, let's not forget about birth control. Most of us have 2-point-whatever children these days. I'm the youngest of 7. Most of the families in my neighborhood when I was growing up had 4 or more children. Today women can choose to have as many or as few children as they want. That means that we parent for far fewer years than the generations before us. I'm done with day-to-day parenting after just 20 years, and in fact, it got much easier on my day-to-day schedule once my boys were in high school. But my mother had children at home for 34 years. Imagine the number of cloth diapers for 7 children for year after year after year. Yes. I had it far easier, and I know it. So when I was exhausted raising my two boys, I just sucked it up and kept at it.

The OP, I think, probably didn't want to be as blunt as I'm willing to be. She IS helping by babysitting her grandchildren while her children work. I'm sure she loves her children and grandkids, but I'm willing to bet that if she dared to say to her children the things I've posted, her children would react just as you did and she'd end up cut off from her family.

To the OP: I hope it helped to vent a little, and I want you to know that I understand.


Ridiculous. I can't believe the nerve of
Would make me want to take it to the School Board, but I understand about whether or not it is worth the trouble . . . don't know what they would be able to do, but she should at least, at the very least, be reprimanded. Perhaps moving her into the middle school or high school would be punishment enough. LOL!

Hope you guys have a Merry Christmas despite her spoiling Santa.
The lizard gets on my last nerve.
The caveman cracks me up. 
Looks like you struck a nerve

j/k


Kids are going to have accidents and get hurt, no matter how much you try to avoid it. How many times have you mothers out there been busy cooking or taking a shower or doing any of a hundred other necessary daily-life activities and your child has come to you with a bruise or scrape or cut or whatever? IT HAPPENS. No matter how good a mom you are, no matter how hard you try. No one is perfect and no, mothers don't really have eyes in the back of their heads.


So come on, everybody take a deep breath and RELAX, okay?


Okay you have touched a nerve with me
I have a HUGE issue with the way disability/welfare is set up. I have written several letters to my representatives. I happen to live in Indiana and I have learned a few things.

Once a person in Indiana is eligible for disability, they will NEVER review that person's case...... unless someone has reported them and even then, that is not a guarantee. They do not check to see if they are making followup appointments or any such thing.

It is very hard to disprove mental disability. I personally know someone who went in and said they were "hearing voices" and started to receive disability benefits within a few months. My father had COPD, cancer, and other health conditions that kept him from working; keep in mind that he worked 35+ years in the same place, not like he didn't have a good work ethic. He applied and was turned down twice. It took the help of an attorney and after two and a half years, he was finally approved.

I was also told that the turnaround for the ones who decide who receives and doesn't is unreal. It was conveyed to me that there is not a panel of people who do the decision making... it is one person who makes the decision. This person may be very new and not sure what to do. One person may be quick to deny and one may be quick to allow benefits.

When I made the suggestion that EVERYONE who is on disability be required to routinely take a drug test, I was informed that the federal law has allowed each state to make that decision. Indiana has yet to do that. My thinking is, sure it is costly to do a drug test but you figure the cost of that would be a whole lot less than the cost of helping those who are not helping themselves. Let's see if the ones who should be taking certain prescription drugs are indeed taking them and let's see who is involved with illegal drugs and IMMEDIATELY drop them.

I am sure there are a whole lot out there who are on disability or welfare, collecting $$$, receiving food stamps, lliving in government subsidized housing, free healthcare, prescriptions, etc.

I was told by one representative that everyone who has concerns NEEDS TO WRITE TO THEIR REPRESENTATIVES and voice their concerns, lobby, etc. I was also told that those emails that have people add their names too, etc. don't carry much weight. They want to hear personal experiences, concerns, etc.

I URGE EVERYONE OF YOU TO WRITE TO YOUR REPS.... and voice any concerns you have.... talk to your friends, family, etc....

I apologize for any typos in this... I am short on time... as I HAVE TO WORK. ;)
I think I struck a nerve with you because
your happiness is based on being taken care of and you would stay whether you were beaten, unhappy, cheated on, etc. As I said, I am a very secure person.
I seem to have struck a nerve...sm
Although this is not about me, I happen to hold two degrees - a bachelor's and a masters.

Now, if I am permitted on that basis to speak, please note that I offered no negative opinion about this individual. I don't know him, obviously. I merely advised caution and due consideration.

One of my degrees, incidentally, is in Security Management, and I'm a member of both the IACA and IALEIA, which are crime analysis and criminal intelligence associations, respectively, as well as ACFE, the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners. I teach courses in identity theft at the local community college. I think that I do know something about the cautions that I offered - which were NOT opinions about this individual.

As I said, I posted very reluctantly. Obviously, you do not appreciate the fact that when I did post it was because I was concerned.

Oh, and by the way...you know nothing at all about what I happen to know about my partner, so I'd appreciate it if you'd keep your venom to yourself because my post did not merit that kind of response. I do wonder, however, what it comes from, and if I had to make a bet, well...I'll let you finish it.
You hit a nerve?...that's hysterical! Surely I did!

Ladies - I know this strikes a nerve with some of you (sm)
Just remember-everyone is different. The situation is not the same as yours as they are all different. I asked for opinions and I got them. I said I HAVE been making them go. I am just wondering if I SHOULD continue that. Some think I should and some think I shouldn't. This is not the same as your SIL telling you off or your DIL not letting you see your grandchildren. She sees them as much as she wants, any time she wants. I got to all the family functions she wants us to go to even if her son can't go. I help her when she is sick. I call her on the phone and check on her. We all spend several weeks throughout the summer at the lake with her. We spend EVERY holiday with her. How do you figure this woman is being short changed?? My own mother is the one being short changed - she lives 8 hours away. She never gets to see me or her grandchildren for holidays because my MIL would have a FIT if we were not at her house for these events. When we visit them once or twice a month, we spend ALL DAY at their house. How is she being cheated if she doesn't get every single thing she wants but does get at least 95%?????????
maybe a slightly pinched nerve? (sm)
I've had something like this happen before, mostly just took an anti-inflammatory and/or another hot shower to loosen up then tried to work through it...

Good luck!
That takes some nerve in my opinion.
It is not like you have any say so in your son's graduation, and in my book that would be more important to me than my nephew's wedding. It if interferes with the wedding, so what. There is nothing you can do about it.
Talk about nerve, this megamom has now set up
a website asking for donations. Well, I am going to set up a website asking for donations for my animal rescue. I rescue animals that otherwise would be put down, vet them, spay, neuter at my own cost and then try to find them a wonderful home. I am not adding to the problem (animals here) but hopefully helping the problem. She is getting food stamps, disability, said she would use her student loans for the children. Family and Children's Services should be knocking at her door before long. Talk about a Jolie wannabe.
Your hostility is strange. Must be hitting a nerve.
Maybe it's your conscience; otherwise you wouldn't care that other people see this differently than you do. It's not like anybody is going to track down your kids and spoil your fun, so you are the one overreacting.
I had nerve pain in my thigh for 15 years.
I finally figured out the cause of mine and it's gone, so I hope you can figure yours out too. Are the MDs saying nerve conduction studies wouldn't help them with it? Do you have hypermobile arches, where the ligaments are too loose and there is too much sag when you step down? If that is causing a nerve problem (and I just know it can cause pain to shoot straight up through the arch), then you would need to get just the perfect arch supports for your feet and NEVER go barefoot. Just a thought.

Good luck.
Your mother has some nerve and if she knew manners
she would know basically it is NOT her wedding, basically she has NOTHING to do with it and should keep her nose out of it. You or someone else needs to clue her in on where she stands, no where basically. Does she have some mental issues? If she put up that much fuss, I probably would disinvite her to the wedding and I am not playing. Don’t be spineless, tell her...
Thousands of nerve endings insignificant?

Well - as far as I know, the foreskin protects the glans.  It also keeps the glans moist and secretes antibacterial substances. Also, circumcision greatly desensitizes the glans, reducing the pleasure quotient for men. Did you know that?


That's a creative idea. I'd love to have a listen, but I'd never have the nerve to ask! n

OP


You might be compressing a nerve in your spine or neck. Get up often. Drink all day long. See your

Yeah!
I'm so glad to hear she's improving. :-)
yeah
i tell ya it is the account, the others mt's complain about it too. i understand all the companies have their good and bad, but i have no idea who i should be looking at for rad work and who i should stay away from. there are always gonna be disgruntled exemployee. i would just like some unbiased opinions on who to look at and who to stay away from!
Oh yeah she was
She may not have had a choice in keeping that boy for awhile. This woman didn't even do a good job at acting like she was sad at her daughter's death. If Anna hated her mother at the time, she's perfectly entitled to. You don't have to love your mother just because shes your mother, just because its the right thing to do. Unfortunately they were not able to mend their differences and give forgiveness before her death. The moment was what it was, at the time she hated her so I believe her wishes should be respected.
Yeah!
I'm glad you did it. I hope things improve for the kids.
yeah, i just went to the doc sm

it was a new patient visit.  i thought i'd try a different doc, but i like my old doc better.  i didn't talk to him about being tired alot.  i did talk about my leg.  i have vericose veins in my left leg that give me problems.  i'm only 35, but feel old! ha!  my leg will swell a little, is warm to the touch and aches almost every day.  you sound like you do really good!  i wish i could get myself on a good schedule so i can at least walk every day.  my 5 y/o will be starting kindergarten in the fall, both my kids will be gone all day so i hope to get on a better schedule than what i'm on now.  my 5 y/o now goes to preschool three days a week and i take him and pick him up, takes time away from my work, so then i sit here and try to stay caught up on my work.  my bp runs ok i guess.  when i went to the doc on wednesday, it was 118/??? 80 something i think.  what is considered low?? 


thanks for your input! 


Oh yeah!

Yeah, but if she is saying
she forgot it at home, then it can't be true. She would remember eventually if it is sitting there at home. I don't know what I would do, guess it depends on your relationship with her. As for me and my sister-in-law, I would simply say don't lie to the poor child, just tell him you didn't have the money to buy him anything and you're sorry!
Yeah, tell me
about it! They are nasty! That's why I would actualy like to take my kids to a nice beach this year!
YEAH RIGHT!
You watch he will turn around and sue! I glad they refused service. He is so arogant!
Yeah, and they will tell you that they
will accept a settlement, and take a lesser amount as a payment in full, but what they don't tell you unless you pin them down on the phone is that they will put that on your credit report, that it was settled for less than the full payment.
Yeah me!
Miss Lily's mom here.  I went to the vet today to go over Lily's lab work.  We had her tested for every allergen known to man and she's allergic to mites off the chart basically.  I also brought my brother's dog in since she has a lipoma the size of a softball that I want removed. Anyhoo, the vet was talking about how hard it is to find good help with the animal for the weekends and how hard it is to truly tell if someone will be good with the animals or not until they get in there.  I told her I was looking for something besides transcription to do part time, so she gave me a job. :-)  It's mostly cleaning but I'll get give the weekend animals their meds and treatments and do some filing and typing...all that fun stuff.  I didn't even ask what she paid, as I'm sure it isn't much but it will be a nice change of pace.  Plus I get free vet care. :-)
yeah....
it's called YMCA.
Oh yeah, here we go...

I can sure sympathize with you here.  My mother is going through same thing.  I have 5 siblings, there are(were) 4 girls 2 boys.  My next to oldest sister was in an auto accident 12 years ago.   She was one of those champagne on a beer budget and just thought she was better.  She and the younger of 2 boys were like peas in a pod.  Very close.  She was in a vegetative state after the accident.  My brother was in charge of her SSI money and such.   He would bring my mother money every 2 years.  Well at 5 years he just quit speaking to everyone, even his child.  Have not seen or heard from him in 7 years.  Why would you just quit speaking to your family?  No one has done anything to him.  He dated a friend of mine one time and told her he was from Canada and that he had a different father than us and that was adopted and not to ever let my baby sister know because she would be devastated.  Well ???.  He had/has this fixation with Canada.  He is not from Canada.  He even looks like my father so it is obvious.  No reason for him to be ashamed.  We are not well off but we are certainly not lacking and we are all hard workers.  He has just disappeared.  My mother tried to kill herself when she was pregnant with him because of other reasons, but blames herself for him being this way.  She did not harm her pregnancy, just believes in things coming full circle.   Well sister that was in accident passed away back in Nov.   This brother does not know that we are aware of.  Older sister has a pill addiction (I’ve told this story on here before, sorry.). 
At any rate she allowed my mother, who was taking care of her recently after some surgery, to see her messed up on some pills.  Mother and I did a mini intervention back in April, have not heard from or seen sister since.  Mother used to speak to her every day.


I just saw her today after going by to pick up something she had of my mothers.   She asked how mom was doing, I said fine and probably better if you would call her and talk to her.  Her response was…”ell the phone works both ways.  She could call me.”  I said, yes your right it does work both ways and you were in the way so you pick up the phone and apologize.  Her response, “Well she’s the mother she should know better.”  This girl is 50 years old, how childish and irresponsible is that.   I feel she owes an apology and my mother said, which is true, what good is it if she does not mean it.  She just does not want to see her end up a vegetable like my sister.  So she feels now she has lost 3 children.  My mother is 70y/o and does not need this stress.


 


You don’t either.  You just have to reach a point that you must move on with your life.  My mother dwells on this and how do you just walk away?  Makes me so angry.  Told sister that our little sister would be coming in from Michigan (darn near canada! HMMMM ..joking) in July and told her when and that we were planning to spread sister’s ashes then.  “Well we’re going on vacation that week”.   Well fine, I say let them go.  If she can sleep at night and the drugs are more important than her family, I say so be it.  I’ve been really freaking about trying to find my brother in the last few months.   Was told that if I could find SSN I could check with SSD and they would tell me who paid taxes in last on him.  For all we know he could be dead somewhere but how do you find someone who obviously does not want to be found!  What are they thinking!



The way my mother feels is that people like that that don’t even care for their own flesh and blood cannot care for anyone, much less themselves.   They did not mind asking for money and a place to live everything they needed it and she always gave to them.


Oh, yeah sm

That's the first place I feel it. Do whatever you can to reduce the stress and if that doesn't work, see your doctor.


Of course, I am good at giving advice, but I haven't seen a doctor about my stomach problems.


Yeah let me know - thanks (nm)

Yeah, my cat. Should have kept the cat.

Yeah, what is it about
yard sale buyers who think they can dictate what time an individual seller has to be open for "business." ? If I want to start at 9:00, then my sale is only for those shopping after 9:00 - don't be knocking on my door. @@


Yeah, I know-don't
rag on me. He was really sick a couple of years ago with a fever of 105 and I didn't want him upstairs. I wanted him downstairs with me so I could check on him all night and keep track of his temperature. Well, he has never gone back upstairs. His sister scared him up there and he is too scared to sleep up there. We are planning on fixing up his room soon and get him a new bed and hopefully, that will help. What is so unhealthy about it?
yeah, me too . . . nm
xx
Yeah, I know just how that is sm
Now, if I could only find my camera..... LOL. It's been underneath something for about 2 weeks now. Bet it shows up when I move all the Christmas presents.
Yeah (sm)
Why can't we get someone in there who is like a regular Joe or Jane like I know--"Yeah, I'm sort of religious. You know, I go to church on Christmas and Easter if the kids haven't eaten 15 pounds of sugar already. Otherwise, I usually sleep in a bit and get ready to watch the Nascar race."

I'm not dissing religion by any means--that's not the intent of my post. I'm just interested that all the candidates always profess that they are so religious when it's time to pander for votes. Sure, I believe some of them are religious, but I have a hard time believing that they all are so religious as they want us to believe.

The best thing I think I heard Ron Paul say (and I'm no Ron Paul fan) was something to the effect of how unfortunate it would be if Mitt Romney (who I am not a fan of either) or anyone else was not elected simply because of religion. I couldn't agree more.
Yeah, sure!
At my new job we all come inside for breaks, and I'll find myself sitting at a table of the quiet guys because that's who showed up when I did for break. They just keep their heads down and look at horticulture magazines, and I can't think of a thing to say that would be worthy of breaking the silence they are probably enjoying. Because they're guys. Ha!
Yeah, maybe that's it....
I don't feel sorry for them, though.  I believe that they live that lifestyle willingly, that they believe it is a religious duty.  I am a Muslim woman and I wear a "uniform," too.  People look at me many times as if they feel sorry for me.  I just laugh inside.  I am living my life the way I want.
yeah

My mom is kind of a natural healer person and I have been doing this since I was small.  It isn't helping.  I tried colloidal silver in my throat and nose too, but nothing.  I am thinking its not an allergen or a bacteria but related to my period since it comes the exact day before my period and lasts until day 2 or so of my period and then its gone like it never happened... I just wake up and all the symptoms are completely gone.


Thanks though.. its a good idea for anyone who hasn't tried it.  I know it wipes infection away for me superbly!


Yeah - don't do it
Didn't she learn the first time. HA HA HA
