Mel Gibson's wife files for divorce
Mel Gibson and his wife of nearly 30 years, Robyn Moore, have filed for divorce, PEOPLE has confirmed.

The couple released the following statement: "Throughout our marriage and separation we have always strived to maintain the privacy and integrity of our family and will continue to do so."

Gibson met Moore, at the time a dental nurse, in the late 1970s after the American-born actor, who moved to Australia when he was 12, had filmed his breakthrough success, Mad Max. The pair, both now 53, married on June 7, 1980, and have seven children – Hannah, 28, twins Edward and Christian, 26, William, 24, Louis, 21, Milo, 19, and Thomas, 9.

yep - your tune shall change down the road..LOL

That Lady Lumps tune...

was the cell phone ringer tone on Michael's cell phone in "The Office" show there.  Darned near slayed me the first time I heard it!  Now that you put it in my head, there it will be for a good 48 hours or so...thanks for that.



I'm sure I'd be singing a different tune if I was in Ohio! :-D
But it's neat to see it here!
Oh! Head in the SAND! I thought you said head in the CAN!

Dang vet.
So they sedated her, shaved her and THEN found a faint scar they are 99% sure is a spay scar so they aren't going to spay her now. She was almost bald on her stomach the first time they checked so I don't know how they missed it last time. Her knee joint is swollen so they are putting her on meds for that. They didn't check anything else I asked about so when I go pick her up we get to do that then. No results on the blood work yet either, if they even drew it. I'll be happy when we can go back to our regular vet.
The latest on this looney-tune story
Her family has asked that the public not judge her. I heard this morning she was a mother first and foremost. She has 3 children but like I have stated many times before, you NEVER know what a person might do. Being first and foremost did not stop this person for being charged with attempted murder. My hubby also stated if you had to wear a diaper as an adult, surely you would not want millions to know about it. I feel sorry for her family.
Cool! He sounds like a radio trying to tune in

I am so dang frustrated!!!!

Whatever happened to the customer is right and we will do whatever it takes to make you happy?


I have now been on the phone with Vonage for 30 minutes and this is my 3rd phone call in as many days.  I changed my billing information this weekend and when I did they put 2 test charge holds on my account of $15 each.  Now my bank says they cannot release these holds, that it has to come from Vonage.


The first call, they told me within 2 hours they would have it released, to check back my account.  The second call, the same scenario.  Let them check with that department, please hold..... yes, they will release your money immediately.  Now, third call and I have this very irritating woman with an American name (which of course is not her name since I have to listen very carefully  to understand a word out of her ESL mouth) who keeps informing me there is nothing to be done and she is sorry but a supervisor is not available and she is so sorry, but no supervisor is available and if they were available they would still tell me that there is nothing they can do for me... put me on hold, play elevator music, answer again and say, I am so sorry, miss, there is noone available to take your complaint other than myself and if there were,,, blah...blah... blah


Even if.... even if.... I am sorry... as much as I want to....



 


No...worked it off playing my son's dang (sm)
My son just got the Nintendo Wii. If you're not familiar with this contraption, you actually go through the motions.

I played tennis and bowling all day long TG and I am SO sore!!! My right arm feels like it's about to fall off. Every time I reach for my mouse, I wince...

Yeah, been doing my fair share of grazing... will work it off at the mall lol ;-)
Dang flies won't sit down to get swatted!
What do y'all do to demise the flies short of never opening a door?
Dang, I wondered why it hurt so much
sharper scissors, huh?
dang! am I glad I'm single!

What are you doing putting up with this!?! WOW!!!  Are you kidding?!?!  Abusers isolate their victims, cut them off from their family and friends.  Climb a giant ladder and STAND UP FOR YOURSELF!!!  You and your sister are free to do as you please.  This piece of work you are married to (and whose emotions you have obviously tip-toed around for ages) is going to have to get over it.  He's obviously ashamed of something, his home, his lack of employment, himself.  I cannot believe you have put up with this for ages --- grow a set and use 'em!


I hate it when the dang computer wants to....sm
show its a$$. I have had the same issues with either the computer or internet connection. Sure does put a damper on your income.

I know the fustration of a car not passing inspection. My previous car, a VW Beetle, had tinted windows, and they were over the legal tint. SOoooo, nobody would give me an inspection. I paid $250 for that tint job and I loved it and said I am not taking it off. My bug was white and the dark windows just set it off. So finally we found a place that gave me the sticker. YAY!! But I don't have that car anymore. Last year I got a new car and I just sold the bug. I don't have tint on the new car though. And if I do I won't be getting past the legal limit.
Look at the bright side, at least the car is paid for. No note. It does suck you had to take it out of retirement.
If I can recommend one thing. Read The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey. It won't solve your problems overnight but if you follow his advice it will in time. I know people who have and it works.
Vent all you want. I know how it is to need to vent. But beware some people on here can be pretty rude sometimes. I have experienced it myself. ;)
I meant "they're" - dang it!

It is me though.
It's a catchy tune, she has a unique voice, different sound blending 60s Motown and current lyric

I think you hit it on the head with that one. NM

It sure looks like we could head toward ...sm
a great depression. Well about the questions. My mom is queen of stocking up. I do some too. But not like her. I need to do it more. But the things you stock up on are like mostly things that will stay good a while like can items and flour and corn meal and cooking oil and cereals. Just look at the dates and see when it expires so you can see how long it will stay good. Canned items you have a few years usually. Stock up on drinks, tea, coffee, sugar. My mom puts sugar, flour, and corn meal and rice and things like that in stock piles in her freezer. It will keep a long time in there. What my mom does and me too is look in the sale paper at the grocery store and when something goes on sale and is a good deal buy plenty. Like one time they put hamburger helper on sale for $1 a box and my mom bought 10 of them. Just look for good cheap deals and stock up. Toilet paper too. Paper towels. Soap. Whatever. Just when you catch sales get a little here and there and put it up. Don't go spend a fortune in one day.
As far as shortages of food I have no idea.
$4 a head?!?!

Wow.  Plotzing right next to you.  jeez.


I put up a greenhouse last year, which I love.  It's still being tweaked so I haven't completely maximized its use yet, but all my plants made it through its first winter.  We even planned ahead and my handyman ran electric and water into it, so it's pretty self contained. 


I love growing things, but don't necessarily like to be outside for the growing of them.  Weird, I know.  Plus, the greenhouse lets me stay away from my creepy neighbor who makes passes at me while his ailing/dying wife is inside. 


The other thing that I've started doing to try to cut costs is hanging the clothes out on a line.  I've seen a lot of comments about that lately, too.   I'm really curious to see how much of a difference that makes on the old electric bill.


 


I think your gut has already told you what your head
knows - avoid this change at all costs.  I won't go into all the reasons I would avoid because you know them in your heart - best of luck!
Wow. You SO hit the nail on the head with this one--sm
It seriously sounds like you have been there before and found your way out of it somehow. I so applaud your way of helping this poor exhausted woman, and I feel badly for her, because I have been there too. My ex was ALOT like this, controlling, passive-aggressive, and had a very abusive anger problem, as well. She did not state how long she has been with this man, but if things don't change, I fear abuse may be the next step. In my experience, people like this do not change. You do. Sometimes the only way to change the situation is to leave it, entirely. forever. I am also sorry to say that when I left my ex after 13 years of abusive control, he moved on to the next one...she took her own life after 14 years due to the same treatment. He married again after that, with the roles reversed and his wife controlling him...he took his own life last year. The ones who suffer? the children. MY children, his children, who will never be the same because of all of this. Think about all of this *exhausted*. It is only meant to help you open your eyes, see your options, and ACT on them...for your sake, and your children. Hugs to you, as well. Your post brought back some very unpleasant memories for me. Good luck to you!!!
The coroner's head . . .
What's with Anna Nicole's coroner's head.  Has anyone else noticed this?  The left side of his head is just out of wack.  Do you think he has craniosynostosis? 
his head IS very very bizarre
I also noticed this.  I have never seen anything like it in my life!  It almost looks like part of his skull is gone.  I kept staring yet didn't want to look, if you know what I mean!
Did you hit your head before or after fainting?
?

When I got this flu, I did have a touch of the tummy trouble, but no fainting. But both sides of my neck were very sore to the touch. Must have been nodes, but weird that it was such large areas. I took Tamiflu, and the neck soreness went away, but I still had chills and exhaustion for 2 weeks.
my mom said same thing about wet head...

it's like if you spill the salt, it's bad luck....these are old *wives tales* perpetuated WAY_BACK_WHEN....a.k.a. superstitions for some of them...


don't walk under a ladder


don't let a black cat cross your path


swallow a watermelon pit and you grow a watermelon in tummy


swallow a piece of gum and it stays in your system for 7 years or clogs you up


(Most of them are ridiculous and a waste of time)....I have owned black cat(s), purposefully walked under ladders, spilled salt and think nothing of it, swallowed gum and/or small pits of fruits, and I'M STILL KICKIN.......and getting OLDER THAN DIRT *L*



 


you hit the nail on the head! Thank you for saying better than me. sm

He did not offer to pay for the car.  When you are in marching band in high school you don't always have the luxury of working. He taught music lessons.  That was enough for spending money not car payments.  He has a scholarship but other than that I pay for everything.


We had a good talk this afternoon.  I told him that there would come a time in the not too distant future when that trip would be allowed.  However, I want a phone call before he leaves and one when he gets there.  I want to know he made it safely.  Honestly, I told him I was not mad about this and I understood that he wanted to see her, but lying is wrong.  End of story.  When I asked him if he was there I wouldn't have been near as upset if he had told me the truth but he kept digging his hole deeper and deeper.


 I don't know what my husband is going to decide to do about the car.  I asked him to consider leaving it.  I told him I don't think my son will do it again.  I told him that it is important that the girlfriend's parents like him and pulling crap like this is not going to endear them to him. 


I put the idea in my husband's mind that maybe he could take a picture of the speedometer when he gets there tonight so that we know the milage.  He is going to talk to him tonight.  If he did that, he will still have local use of his car.  I don't know.  Everyone is pretty upset right now. Me, my husband, my son, his girlfriend, her parents.   


I actually think that maybe he understand where I am coming from.  I reminded him what if I got a phone call saying he was in an accident and severely hurt or worse and I think he is safe at school. 


Wow - you hit the nail on the head - for me (sm)
"...hung onto the relationshipeve afer it was obviously not good for us. I think we just had to prove that we were good enough to be loved." That is exactly how I ended up in this marriage and exactly why I have been in it for so long. I was so determined to prove that I was good enough to be loved. Unfortunately, now there are children involved and I have to figure out what is best for them.
My mom always held my car over my head....

and it honestly just encouraged me to lie to her.  My kids are younger, so God only knows what I'll do when they are teenagers, as I know that is a very hard time, but your son is in college now, and I think it is reasonable for him to want to drive to see his girlfriend on weekends.  I was always a pretty honest kid with my mom, but losing my car was a big deal, so I did lie to her from time to time, because even though I felt bad lying it didn't feel as bad as losing my car would have!


Is your son maintaining good grades?  If so, I wouldn't worry about his texting or how much he is talking to his girlfriend, because I honestly think that is his business and he will have to learn some hard lessons by messing up - not by having his mom tell him how life is all the time.  Sometimes you have to learn that you can fall and pick yourself back up.  If he is getting really bad grades, however, then of course you should step in because you don't want him messing up that scholarship!  I'm already afraid for when my boys go off to college because I know how much many college kids drink and party and am afraid they will drink too much or something and get hurt, but if your son is just wanting to see his girlfriend then that might actually keep him from partying as much as other college kids.  Are you just worried that he will get hurt on the drive to see her or something?  Does he have a safe car?


I would say just be careful.  If this girlfriend is really nice and he feels like you "messed up" his relationship with her in any way he might try to get back at you by dating a "lesser quality" girl or something.  Good luck to you.  I'm sure this is a difficult situation, but it's great he got a scholarship and is a good kid overall.

shower head
I'm looking for a shower head that will help me get all the shampoo & conditioner out of my hair.  I have one that allows me to adjust the settings and that helps.  I think the problem is that I am so short that even with the high pressure it doesn't completely remove all the shampoo since I am so much farther down than the shower head.  I want to get one of the removable ones but before I went and spent the money I was hoping for suggestions.  Whenever I go to my hairstylist, my hair always feels so much better for a week or two after she rinses it with that high-pressure sprayer so close to my head.  I'm sure her shampoo makes some diffference too, although I'm pretty sure it is just not being able to completely rinse my hair out that is causing me the frizzies.  Thanks for any suggestions on a reasonablly priced shower head.

Help me get that song out of my head! (sm)
Help! I can't get the song "Help Me Rhonda" out of my head now!! Too funny!! That may actually have to be one of the worst songs! LOL!
Very well-put. You hit the nail on the head.

I think you hit the nail on the head.
I have also had a few more days to think about what the other posters said too. Whether I want to admit it or not, hormones do make the moment seem worse and make me want to snap into all or nothing.

You have some great ideas. I agree that she didn't need to get me a gift if she wasn't coming to the shower, and probably would have preferred that rather than get me a gift of the wrong gender. At any rate, I will send her a nice thank you and call her to see how her wedding went since I was not able to be there for the big day. I will also make mention to her that evening before I leave that I would still like to see her, if even for a few minutes. It's a male/female shower at a sports bar so if nothing else I would like to get to know her husband better.

I don't want this to ruin the small bit of friendship we still have left or my shower but she was honestly the only person I was really looking forward to being at my shower. but I must get over that and be greatful that we are still friends in some way.
I wish it had been drilled into my head
I went to spend the night with a friend (this was about 30 years ago) and I was molested by her father. It took me 2 years to tell my parents. Trust me, I had many talks with my kids when they were younger.
You hit the nail on the head....sm
Everyone be thankful that you do not have anyone in your life doing this to you. You can say well don't answer the phone, don't answer the door, call the police. But when you do all those things and it still does not do any good you don't know where to turn. He has literally knocked on my door 4 times in 1 hour tonight. That is just one hour not the rest of the day. You would think after you don't answer it the first 5 times he would take a hint. Nope. I am friends with a deputy around here. My husbands uncle is also a deputy. They cannot do anything about it. He is on his own land. All I can do is move and looks like that is what I am going to have to do now. It definitely is not fair, but life isn't fair.

Argh.
Yeah, $4 a head. sm
That's the highest I've seen it, though (it's currently something like $1.59/head, which I still think is a bit much, even here in the sticks in the winter).

I've taken to growing sprouts, instead; there's certainly a lot more nutrition in them, as iceberg lettuce has nil, really.

I've also just purchased one of those Aerogardens (yes, the thing from the infomercials) just so I can have some fresh greens in the wintertime. It's not a cheap way to grow, to be sure, but it's convenient.

You'd think that living out in the country that produce would be cheap and plentiful (at least in season), but most of what's grown around here is feed corn, soybeans, or sugar beets ... not exactly your usual road-stand fare.
Should state when he was hit on the head
that was inside the airplane from falling debris as the plane landed hard on the runway. Should have explained a little better.
If you hit your head, get it checked out

I think chances are good we'll find that Billy had a hemorrhage, much like Natasha Richardson.  I just lost an older cousin to this very same syndrome last weekend.  He fell and hit his head, but refused to go the doctor and died two days later. 


Head injuries are nothing to mess around with, even if they seem benign at first.


Drat, where's the ax-in-the-head icon when you need it?
(nm)
I probably would've lost my head...
because I'm the jealous type. I HATE IT with a passion!

You did the right thing by getting feedback from others before you reacted emotionally and I admire you that.

It's much better to stay calm and not let DH know that deep inside you're going berserk. How do you keep the poker face that's much needed in these types of situations?

I'm glad I saw your post and the responses from others to see how they would handle such a situation. I don't like thinking/running my life with my emotions, which always gets me in so much trouble and makes the situation at hand much worse for me and the person on the receiving end of my emotional outbursts, who is usually innocent.

Thanks for posting!
Thanks everyone. You told me exactly what my head already knew (sm)
and I was just letting that logic go right out the door. I would never be the **cheatee** either, because it just seems so dirty and indignant and also because I would never want that done to me, so I try to treat people the way I would weant to be treated.

You know, I am so glad I have a reasonable bunch of women here and wish one day we could all get together for coffee.

Thanks for keeping me in line.
