In Reply to: I think I'd mix em up to give a little style to your display - instead of each set on it's own shelf. Have fun

Are there any church groups or other groups you can join? SM
The more you are around people you can feel comfortable with, the better.
I'm shy too. This field is very difficult if you are shy, since, even when I worked in-house, I was just sitting there with headphones on.
Also, another tip, having girlfriends are a good way of meeting boyfriends. It's difficult, I mean, socializing can actually seem like another full time job, but do it. You will be happier for it.
I have some mixes that I alternate...
they all have some country, 80s and 90s rock, contemporary Christian...a real hodge podge.
Alternate---simplest way to do it - sm
When I was first married we lived 20 minutes from my in-laws and 2 hours from my parents. So we would do Thanksgiving at one, then Christmas at the other, then flip that the next year so one did not get us every year for the same holiday. Though if it was Christmas at my parents, we'd spend Christmas Eve day with his parents, have dinner-6pm-, then drive up to my parents house that night, which always ticked me off as when we had Christmas there, I would not see my family until the day after Christmas. His parents would actually get mad at me for driving up to see my family on Dec. 26...thought I should wait a few days or not go at all. Now years later, things have changed some, now 2 hours from in-laws, and 4 hours from my family (mom died, dad remarried so now have her whole family to deal with too). My DH came to hate driving somewhere for the holiday's so every 3 years we stay home, granted don't think we have ever had a Christmas alone, if we stay home his parents and brother come over. We have actually in the 12 years we have been married we have never invited them over, they just tell us they are coming basically. We have said no on occasion of course, but would feel like scrooges if we did that at Christmas. This year we go to my dad's but we are going before Christmas I think, so that will mean probably we either hoof it to his parent's for Christmas or we stay home and they come (which they did last year I think). We are staying put this year for Thanksgiving, as I don't want to go to his parents and it is insane to even contemplate my dad's as my stepmom refuses to not see her family on every holiday....though I did tell them I want them to come here for Thanksgiving, so that ought to be interesting.
I do something similar but alternate cheese, cubed ham, and broccoli. There is also sm.
melted butter involved. We love it.
Totally scored! $1.29 for THREE pieces!
The link was too big so if you wanna see the DEAL my husband scored for me, you can cut and paste this into your browser:

Oh my gosh I am such a tool! Not diamonds or fur....melted popcorn plastic! 
Oh, I do love her to pieces. She's just a little stinker! SM
She'll be a year old in February. I've caught her standing on top of my upright piano trying to get to my kitty! My poor kitty is a good sport though she hardly ever claws Sugar. She just depends on me to rescue her and tries to stay up high.
I got that picture above my name by creating a profile. You can upload a picture to your profile as your avatar. You just type in your pofile ID every time you post.
Yep, love my girls to pieces - sm
would not change a thing there, though have not hit the teen years as yet. If they are like me, and so far they are, it should not be too bad. My older one does feel entitled to a lot and I do my best to keep her rooted in reality. When she gets out of hand she loses privileges she takes for granted, reins her in a bit. She is slowly coming around and learning. Not looking forward to the summer as they are already at each other's throat, fighting about everything these days, enough to make someone go bald!
We met on Match.com. I was age
64, and he was 61. Have been happily married 3 years.
Don't know what starting this p-ing match
It's pretty funny really, because I never thought agreeing with another poster would get anyone so fired up. I have friends and family that I can depend on, but there are things I expect my husband to do for me that I would not expect from a friend or even my family.
I think if I would end up widowed, I'd have no problem being alone. I really don't know that I would want to get back into the whole dating thing again. I only stated that when being married works, it works well.
However, I get a definite hostile vibe from you, which I really don't understand. I don't know you, I don't know your situation and if you say you're happy, that's fine. Just don't try to make me feel like an incomplete human being because I say I'm happy being married.
I think your view does not generally match
up with most.. She looks like a real gold-digger to me. What about others out there?
Try this site...you can mix and match the different recipes.... : )

Will they still match the bedspread if you change them out? ..sm
Some things won't take dye depending on what they're made of...You can find some cool comforters/spreads/curtains at JCP and Target lately. ...And the cheapest curtains around can be made from twin size flat sheets. Many styles/colors can be ordered from JCP that you won't find in the store. I've done that several times..... And try hgtv.com for ideas, too. ....And lastly, bamboo and other type of "natural" material shades can be found inexpensively at Lowe's and Home Depot if want to take it in that direction. They'll cut them to fit right there, too. Have fun!
Split up what you have and stagger the pieces, play with it, add some glass, and/or start

I didn't know they had groups
I only thought this was for actors. Never thought to look up the group. Thanks.
Sparse tonight - 2 pieces of bread w/butter & a Diet Coke. (nm)
:(
Anyone out there have their baby's ultrasound and gestational estimates not match?
I'm 7-8 weeks pregnant according to the last menstrual period; however, at the doctors office on ultrasound today it appeared that I'm only 5-1/2 to 6 weeks. The technician thought she saw a yolk sac. They drew a HCG and will repeat this on Wednesday. Anyone else have this happen and what was the outcome? My husband & I are trying to not worry and are focusing on being positive until we find out the lab results on Thursday.
I love Mix N Match Pasta for summer meals
Just boil up a big batch of tricolor rotini pasta and add whichever of the following that appeals to you, or whatever you happen to have on hand.
Chicken, tuna, ham, shrimp, crab meat
Celery, carrots, onion, green peas, mushrooms
Ranch dressing, Italian dressing, mayonnaise, Miracle Whip
It's a great "clean-out-the-refrigerator" meal! 
Actually, certain religious groups have to earn their
way to Heaven by "saving" people - getting them to hear the salvation message and be "born again"...They keep a tally, and believe that God keeps a tally, and first of all earn their place in heaven and then lots of bonus perks - some jewels in crowns, certain seats at the big old banquet table, positions of authority, etc. In particular, the Jehovahs' W group focuses on this. Poor things - they want us to believe that Heaven is for everyone, while they are busy earning bonus points - sort of like the old Green Stamp days, or earning frequent flyer miles! So, they don't care that they are obnoxious and in our faces - they believe this is what they have to do, and it has its perks in their sick minds. Poor things. And I believe this confrontational style in any religion turns away far more than it saves - even THE savior was meek and nonconfrontational - he never forced himself on anyone - but some just don't get it...though they will some day.
Floaters in older age groups
are not uncommon. I have had these over a year but they have been having little babies today it seems like.
Thank you. I hadn't thought of MSN groups for that..
and I am definitely getting counseling ASAP..
Criminals should be divided into groups SM
according to crimes committed. Nonviolent or violent. To place nonviolent drug-related crime people in prisons with hard-core inmates is crazy. First time felons need rehab. Prisons are just making it worse. Ever see shows about prisons in Europe? Sheesh, like night and day.
By the way, I've never been to prison in my life and neither has anyone I know.
Have you looked for local rescue groups?
Sometimes local rescue groups will help you to get your pet placed in a good home. I would do this before sending her to the pound or placing an ad.
I've personally sat down with groups of TG people
It was a therapy/support group that I attended with my son/daughter. I was the only parent there. My child was never molested or had any such issues you think are common to "gay" people you are acquainted with. None of the TG people I have spoken with expressed concern about any past abuse. The main issue that everyone had in common and kept discussing was the crushing rejection they received from society and their family. Many were shocked and envious that I as a parent was at the meeting, because their own parents would no longer even speak to them.
If a child is born with gender issues, we make it very clear to them the minute the issue arises that we don't want to hear it. We accuse them of making a choice and judge their choice is wrong, so we punish them, we try to silence them and make them stop the nonsense. So they learn to hide it and handle it alone. IF they make it through puberty without suicide, as adults they tell us it still exists and they must face it. What do we do then? Accuse them of duplicity because they faked being "normal" for so long (after WE forced them to), punish, ignore and hate them, cut them out of the family, weep and moan from the shame of it all and what people will think of them and us. We even tell them we'd prefer they were dead! Because we'd rather deny and eliminate our own child than deal with THIS problem. How very sad for us all. We need to focus on what is wrong with US that we would react this way to a loved one with a very tough problem. Only then can we work on how society sees it.
So for every transgendered person you hear of - know this - they are dealing with a horrible backlash from the people they love AS WELL as the gender issue. Most of them contemplate suicide daily (statistically 50% do commit suicide - the other half that die untimely deaths are murdered). Despise them if you wish, your opinion won't make it go away. The next transgendered person born could be your child or grandchild, your neice or nephew, your best friend's new baby. I pray they will each have someone in their lives that will love them anyway, who doesn't choose gender as more important than the human being.
Music groups you are too embarrased to admit you like
Anyone out there love a musical group (or person) but are too embarrassed to admit it. You know, the kind that your friends make fun of but you secretly say to yourself, I love that music. - Mine are:
Village People
Glen Campbell (Wichita Lineman) - Excellent video on youtube
Bay City Rollers
And most all disco music (Bee Gees, Super Freak Rick James, Taste of Honey, KC Sunshine Band)
Gabby, if you buy Bar S franks, the number of buns match the nubmer of dogs. LOL. nm

There are groups that have protested at people who have died of AIDS but
I really do not know if same group or not. One person's name who comes to mind is Ryan White, the young kid who contracted AIDS through blood transfusion as small infant. What an horrific thing for a family to have to go thru, first a diagnosis like this to have a loved one die and then for people to say they deserved it? This world is really not right. I think it is only getting worse.
Did you try Replacements Limited to search for your pattern pieces? Or even an eBay search? ..sm
Replacements Limited has been very helpful to me in the past. If you're determined to paint your own, go into Michael's and check through all their paints for those made especially for glass and ceramics. You'll end up having to hand wash and dry your item since the paint can't be fired on, but it should work, even if you have to keep touching it up as the years go buy. But do a search first and maybe you'll get lucky that way! :)
Oops, my bad. Sorry.

RE: OOPS - we did it again!!

Oops, sorry, I see your
daughters had it last year so you already know all about taking care of it! Sorry, but for anyone else may be some help, and it did help to talk to the adminstrator at least in part. Another thing for anyone with a daughter with light blond hair, like mine had and still does, you can't see the nits real easy. She has enough hair for 10 people, kind of always a little joke between us because I'm always asking her to share some with me.  The nit comb didn't work very well because her hair was so thick and nits hard to see in the light blonde hair, so I needed to hand pick the nits (why I'm such an excellent ~nit picker~ ) and slide them off, kind of partitioned her hair off in sections and went section by section, still gives me the creeps to this day, and that was quite a long time ago! I did feel sorry for those girls who came from a family like that, though, who didn't seem to care and a school administration who was clueless, I guess, to boot! I think many schools these days handle this kind of situation differently, though.

Oops try again!
Oops, link didn't take...try again!
oops...
I do not look like his mom, but I act just like her - both read books all the time, take a travel light on our trips to keep reading at night, both watch the same TV shows, both dress in similiar ways, like the same kind of careers -
his whole family laughs that he just "married his mom"...
Oops
just went back to your I'm working it post and don't see anything about kids, but I still say you're awesome and keep doing what you're doing!
oops it cut my message off
you have to be passing to go out and keep your grades passing to be able to play the whole season - maybe your school has this rule and would help with his grades for a couple months.
oops - that should've said
oops I mean problem not probably
see what he does to me, cannot even type LOL
Oops typo's
 Sorry -- Can't seem to get my fingers to work today. Cannot live without spell checker. LOL
oops - it was 1932......sm
1932 - The Tuskegee Syphilis Study begins. 200 black men diagnosed with syphilis are never told of their illness, are denied treatment, and instead are used as human guinea pigs in order to follow the progression and symptoms of the disease. They all subsequently die from syphilis, their families never told that they could have been treated.
oh and at the link they think that AIDS might have gotten spread from the hepatitis B vaccine - I just read, oh too much information for me...YUCH...gonna check out different other links now.....

Oops, forgot
never was on hormones, had decided years ago not to take, was admonished by one physician in time past I should, so glad I didn't. As I knew, say in the 70s, hormones had some bad press in relation to cancer.
Oops let me back up
apparently the judge saying she can be buried in the Bahamas beside her son.
