Yeh, just reading where NFL's James Harrison's son was bitten by their family pit today
The child was 6, family dog. Severe facial wounds. The dog will be held 10 days before it is put down. Lovely animals.
judgement
By what I was told by Nicki, Daniel and what I observed of both of them during and the dealings with her mother.
But I was present during some phone calls and such but have never personally met her mother.
You will have a judgement placed against you--sm
for the debt owed and it will be placed on your credit report. Seeing as how you are married, it will be against your husband too. He will find out now. It will remain on your credit report until it is paid in full, and then some. They are not to up on taking things off your credit report, only on putting them on. If you make regular payments, that will be on your credit report as well. If you don't make regular payments, they may place a tax judgement against you, meaning they will get whatever tax refund you have coming until the debt is paid. This will automatically flag on your credit report, as well, and if you ever need to open a checking account, etc., some banks will not allow you to with that on your credit report. They may also garnishee any wages. This debt will also continue to acrue interest. Because this has already gone to having a court date, working out a settlement is pretty much nil at this point. you should have done that prior to getting to this point. Most places are willing to work with you as long as you make the effort. Letting it go for four years will not bode well for you. I feel for you. I have been there, but not to the tune of your amount...mine was only 300.00 and by the time I got done paying the interest and late fees, it was much more than that. This is a really good example of why not to have credit cards. It is much too easy to get into this situation. I wish you all kinds of luck!!!
Well, my better judgement said
My better judgement says to pay down on the CCs. My H wants to take 15k out of his 401k and be done with it. He says we are still young and we can still make it up. We are in our 30s. I really really hate for him to do that because I see how my Dad, Mom and MIL struggle with just living on SS alone. Also, it is a nice Band-Aid but if we don't rethink or spending it will be right back there and once that 401k is gone it is gone.
As far as this house goes, that is the one thing I am proud of is that it is almost paid off. The only thing wrong with this house really is that it is 200 small. 890 sq feet and there are 4 of us living here. 2 littler girls and H and I. It is 2 bedroom 1 bath and that 1 bath is getting harder and harder for us to deal with. H and I looked into another house a few years ago and we were shocked that the owners wanted 130k for a house that stunk and was trashed, i.e., holes in the walls, unfinished projects, a huge mess everywhere.
We bought this house in 1999 for 29k. It is a rock house. It was newly remodeled, it has central heat and hair, it has a big fenced in backyard and a huge storage building H uses as a shop. We do live in West Texas so I am thinking houses are cheaper here. I have heard relatives say that up north in the bigger cities this house would be worth 100k or better.
judgement
sad you feel that way. The majority of pitbull attacks you hear are usually 9 times out of 10 mixed breeds anyway, but the public only hears "pitbulls" and honestly statistic wise the pitbull is half a million times more likely to be killed by a human than the other way around. Every pitbull attack it's always the dog's fault is what you hear & it's easy to blame the one who can't speak for themselves & say what really happened and say if they were provoked, so I don't pass judgement, I leave that up to God.
Not sure if I trust her judgement.....she
xx
DOH! I meant they would NOT pass judgement
...sorry. P.S. Just ignore those who are responding that you are selfish. They have not walked in your shoes!
He had pneumonia, let's not jump to judgement here,,
Yes! Let's start by stopping judgement of the 8 babies!
Some below are making me "sick" - they are innocent newborns stuck in a horrible situation, and their 6 older siblings are probably even worse off. The mother is inexcusable, but the babies and children? Come on, I have dogs but to compare them to animals? Talk about paying it forward - some people are paying it backwards! Open up your minds! These are innocent little human beings! Pay it forward and stop judging them, they have enough on their little shoulders. I'm so angry right now at some of these posts! I pay it forward every chance I get and I will for the rest of my life. Letting these babies into my heart is one of these things I am doing today. The mother is another story, she needs other "kinds" of help. Poor kids,poor babies!
James Denton sm
He used to live in Nashville and whenever he comes to town he gets interviewed by the TV station where he used to work and he always seems like such a cool guy. He has got the looks AND personality.
GO STEELERS!!!

Steelers, 27-10
The Quickie by James Patterson
They should make a movie out of that one.
James and the Giant Peach
by Roald Dahl.....Also, another macbre piece came out when my boys were young in the late 80's early 90's....The Thief of Always by Clive Barker....We had all the Little House on the Prarie books by Laura Ingalls Wilder, anything Mark Twain, Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway .....My mother's a teacher and we're all voracious readers...What wasn't in our library at home, I just went and roamed the stacks at the library....Most kids these days don't even know what the stacks are. War and Peas...(food fight!).... you crack me up Hayseed! Cat
Honestly don't even know what Steelers are.
I just had to "Google" it now. Only sports teams I'm mildly familiar with are Red Sox, Bruins, and Patriots. I don't follow sports at all though.
Love both. Go Steelers!! nm

Yes and other Plays and STEELERS ARE #1.
 Love Big Ben
I am so depressed about them finding James Kim dead. I am having a really sm
hard time grasping this that I can't imagine what his poor wife and family must be going through. I can't even move and want to read everything about them finding him, etc. if he only stayed in the car with them - He left Saturday morning to look for help and the found his wife and girls on Monday. And he was found dead today miles from where the car was found.
I guess I could thank God that his wife and 2 children are still alive. I am happy they are alive, but it just makes me unbelievably sad what he must have gone through. He had such a great will to live and yet he died out there.
I don't know if anyone out there reading this who lives in Oregon, but I certainly have zero desire to EVER venture out into the Oregon wilderness, now more so than ever. I've heard horror stories about one-lane, winding, extremely hazardous roads and I don't understand why the state won't fix that? This isn't the first family to go through something like this because a lot of maps are contradicting.
This should serve as a warning to anyone who wants to travel the Oregon mountains, especially in the wintertime - DON'T DO IT.
How tragic and sad.

not Hayseed, but I LOVE my Steelers (3-0 as of 9/23)

Find a Steelers fan club
We moved away from Pittsburgh 20+ years ago. Most cities have fan clubs. We belong to one in our city, and it's a lot of fun going on Sundays and watching the games.
Love those Steelers!!! Here is our tree...
Can you see some of the Steelers ornaments?
I saw a VERY sportsmanship play by the Steelers.

poor sportsmanship by the Steelers

Reading Beach Road by James Patterson

James Gandolfini, but only doing his Tony Soprano accent..
and James Earl Jones. The only woman I can come up with is not an actor, but it would be Maya Angelou, she has the most crisp, perfect command of the English language.

Are you sure no one is coming by every day (sm)
to give her food and water and at least a little attention?
I can see where you are coming from
Oh I don't know, just heard they was giving out free food! Go figure.... How did she hear that with no power?
Please, if you will tell me exactly where these are coming
from. I have read a few places but I want to know exactly what you are speaking of.
So if the end is coming
I've been hearing this crap all my life due to a religious upbringing. Oooh, we'll be persecuted and have to go live in caves during the end times. I'm over it!
The only thing one can do is get right with God the best they can. And that's between them and their deity.
If the planet shifts on its axis, the sun sends out a flair, or any other global disaster, there is no way to prepare for it, physically, mentally, etc. You'll either be in the right place/time or not. You'll either die, or not. Whatever unpredictable circumstance you're in, you'll do the best you can.
And if nothing unusual happens at all on winter soltice 2012, it will still be a matter of surviving whatever socioeconomic mess we are in at that time.
Live your life one day at a time, that's all you can be sure of. Don't worry about tomorrow because God is already there. Why go nuts like we did preparing for 2000? I refuse to stress on it, I did enough time doing that when I was a child having religious propaganda shoved down my throat. I did more stressing during the 2000 non-crisis because my boss was paranoid and put ME in charge of safeguarding all our electronic medical records from the big crash that never happened. This time, I don't give a hoot, and I'm not doing anything any different than I would any other day of the year. Tell your loved ones you love them and go the heck to bed!
its all coming to an end sm
What did you think about last night's performances , who is the winner.
I liked Kris better. Adam killed Kara's song. I also think when the judges talked to Kris after his last song it felt like they were saying goodbye to him and saying he did not have a chance to win. I hope Kris wins to prove them all wrong. I would have loved to see Allison be in first or second place.
My DH keeps coming in to inform me that...
he has today off, paid no less, for his birthday. One more time and I am going to hit him upside the head with the gnome! 
What is this world coming to?
The clue for your caller would have been when you said "hello"? Don't ya' think? 
Anyone get HBO? Even the coming attractions from
But I understand where they are coming from
because usually self-employed is an iffy thing and the bottom line is where you apply for credit wants to know with some certainty about will you be able to handle a mortgage. I am independent myself but since starting did not ever think about this coming up, of course do not plan on relocating or buying another home (only been in my new home for 3 years now) but being independent never crossed my mind about things like this.
Furniture coming up now
what I want to know, will your groomers put these nails on for you? Also am planning on the wood post and getting a spray bottle. Wish me luck!
I sort of know where you are coming from
with the prices of houses by me. Most people probably don't realize that 400,000 in some areas does not get you much and you probably can't find a 3 bedroom decent house for under 350,000. I think people are getting the wrong impression and thinking you want to live way beyond your means when in reality you just want a decent place to live. As I said, I'm in the same boat and it stinks. Just be careful; sounds like way too much debt to be comfortable with your current situation. Have you thought about moving somewhere cheaper? I am sure your wife can find a job as a nurse anywhere, maybe making even more money; also if she is an RN they can work just weekends and make a full time income. For you, you can always work at home doing MT full time and part time with 2 companies putting in 50 or so hrs a week for now. You'd save on any kind of childcare that way at least while the baby is an infant. But then you may have to put off school. Unfortunately this is what happens. We can't have it all as much as we'd all like to. Sounds like at least you do have a few options, though, the way I see it; so good luck whatever you choose to do.
I totally get where you are coming from
and I don't know anything about your situation, but it seems like it would be a good thing that he looked on his stepdaughter as his daughter, although I can see how you would feel the way you feel since your brother was her father and it wasn't his choice not to raise her, and somebody should have acknowledged him as well.
I was adopted and to me my parents are the parents who raised me- because to me that is what makes a parent a parent. Had I been referred to growing up as my parents' "adopted daughter" that would have been painful to me and only a constant reminder that I was not their biological child.
Again, I don't know anything about your situation or your niece's relationship with her stepfather but if it was a good one I would think it would be nice that he thought of her as his actual daughter. He probably had just not been thinking about how it would make you feel.
How are you coming along with it now Hayseed? nm
!
Weekend coming. What is everyone doing?
xx
I do understand where you are coming from
My MIL is a very big part of our lives and is very close wtih my son and daughter. That is all well and good but for years she would ask the kids if they wanted to go somewhere with her (like a day trip to a nursery or shopping without asking me first. If I said no we already have plans then I was the mean mommy. It took me several years to finally get through to her that I would really like for her to check with me first. She did this again last Sunday asking my son to go to a nursery with her that is about an 1 1/2 hours away. He is now 16 and I know we didn't have plans for that afternoon so I overlooked it. Be glad that she lives 80 miles away. Mine lives 8 miles. We used to live in the house right behind the family business that she had my DH run. She called one day saying she was going to town and did I need anything. Yes, a gallon of milk. Oh, I'm not going to the grocery store, just the post office and bank. I guess if I had needed stamps or a roll of pennies she could have helped me out. LOL. Just take a deep breath, smile through gritted teeth, and be thankful she wants to be a part of her grandchilden's lives.
My sympathies for what is coming...sm
I know the look you are talking about. It breaks your heart. I lost my dog a few years back. He was the first present my husband ever gave me and I had him for 15 1/2 years. We have other pets, but nothing takes the place of him. My best to you and your kitty friend. Take Care.
coming up soon, next week I think...
a
Coming to? I think we're beyond that.
This is mild what he did compared to what else goes on. Where've you been?
Can't you see it all coming to pass? sm
Everything we learned would happen is happening right now.
