In Reply to: I just love when people kid about who a dog loves most! SM - How cute!
the house. I refuse to believe this. We have a love-hate relationship. haha She always sits in my favorite chair whenever she KNOWS I'm fixin to get off work and she won't budge either! She gives wayy more attention to the kids and husband than to me! I'm the one who feeds her all the time while cooking, so I kid with my hubby that she's afraid her "chef and cook" is not going to come home whenever I leave. I've NEVER seen her act the way my husband describes. He says she runs in circles, runs around, tries to look out the windows and will do this until I come home! the other night my husband took the kids to a ball game and she just watched them walk out the door and didn't flinch the whole time. I think it's hilarious!

Fo Done: Is it right to leave a husband...
My answer to your question, in your case, is: No.
Maybe now you reject your husband so much because of this letter he wrote you, but I am sure that he regrets it and he wrote it in a state 'when he was out of his mind'. He apologized!
It is very seldom that men apologize.
Give him some t i m e to prove (oh my, I really think in this case it is prove, because it can be replaced by 'showing', but if the majority says it's proof, ok, then it's proof, I am confused now) that he wants to treat you better, give him another chance.
Don't forget, but forgive.
I am the only one who advises you to stay; I cannot believe this. All others give you their own 'horror stories', much worse than yours. Is this giving advice? Counseling?
Keep in mind, you can often give it a try, make it a little better, day by day, it takes only o n c e to leave and this is it, it's final.
Maybe if you stay, down the road, you will thank me for telling you to stay.
But......if he starts to physically abuse you, leave immediatley.
Now I am already expecting comments like....
'emotional abuse is even worse than physical abuse....etc....'
It depends on the grade of verbal abuse; some people regard even criticism as emotional and verbal abuse.
The day I felt repulsed by my husband's advances was the day I decided to leave.

bring your doggie purse...just not your doggie!
lol
And swears to each of them every time that he is the one for her (sm)
It really is getting old. They need a new man on the show.
My SIL swears by mac & cheese
YUCK -- but my kids like noodles -- the egg noodles in turkey broth. They also like the turkey drumsticks and the wishbone. They love Stove Top stuffing, but not homemade stuffing. They don't eat much of the mashed potatos or gravy. They love deviled eggs. Are my kids weird?
One year, I thought I'd make candied sweet potatoes for the kids, thinking they'd like ooey-gooey, make-my-teeth-hurt sweet, but turns out I was wrong. They didn't touch it.
Truth be told, most kids don't eat much on holidays. Too much excitement I think. Try to make sure they have a good breakfast, then let them pick what they want to eat. I usually ask my kids to try 1 thing, just a small amount. When they come back later, I give them a turkey sandwich (if they like turkey) or PB&J. Don't stress yourself out over what the kids are eating. They'll be fine. It's only 1 day.
My mom swears they are crinolines, not petticoats. Unless it's a regional difference. nm

Leave some open boxes of baking soda inside and maybe search for carbon filters to leave in there,

Where's a bad doggie?? (nm)

Truly feel for you -- my doggie is 16
I have a chow/lab mix and she turned 16 on Valentine's day and I know that the end will be soon. Took her to the vet and her blood tests are all good but she has a lot of trouble with her back legs but still walks about a mile a day. But I just want to keep her as comfortable and happy as I can these next months or so. Vet said whateverI was doing keep doing as he has never seen a healthier 16 year old. She is deaf but no catarcts. No leakage either. But I don't want her to suffer and that is my main concern. But I know what you are going through and it is so hard to love an animal and lose them But we know we gave them a good life. At least she made the decision to leave and you did not have to make that decision which is what I do not want to have to do. Keep those memories in your heart.

I saw a little doggie yesterday in a car
as I pulled up to get out and looked and would have called the police, alone in the vehicle at a flea market but what saved the owner was they had the window down. The weather here was in the high 50s and climbing but I would not hesitate if the windows had been up.
I too applaud you for the doggie
I am just so glad when people do this, so many of our furry friends need a good forever home.
Doggie style???

Your doggie needs some therapy
It has no clue what it is, a Siberian and you call it a poodle. Poor thing. It has issues and I would suggest a good therapist!
I am really sorry about your doggie having problems
Glad i did not take the suggestion of my aunt who told me - well I wouldn’t spend a lot of money on her- when I said taking to the vets. I understand animals get sick as we do but I do not consider just throwaways like some do. Hope your furrie gets some good results. Hubs is sorta standoffish when it comes to my pets and I noticed a look when I was picking her up for some loving- don’t care if he does stands back, just don’t say anything when I am trying to help her out. I also give her 2 pills x2 each day and he just cannot believe I do this. Somebody gotta take care of the babies, right?
I had seen a picture of new first doggie
and I loved his dark coloring with his white boots on. I am sure the girls will love this beautiful pooch, I know I would but then again I love most animals with fur.
They told us we were going to a doggie resort....
....but I have a sneaking suspicion obedience school is in our future!
I know the doggie had surgery, went personally
to the animal clinic and talked with the veterinarian and others there, told them to contact me. I would seek out attention for an injured animal whether it comes to my front door or on the street. Heavens only knows if the guy takes the medicine? Druggies might do about anything but I appreciate the information you have passed along. I explained some months ago unable to financially care for the dog anymore - I had things I wanted to do in renovations at my own home- and they would have to take care of it so it has been some months since I last bought the medicine. Having said that, got email here about a week ago and have not answered- she was coming across as ole woe doggie. Well, what about woe me? I told her- I would rather not lose her friendship but I had thought about calling on the dog before the son turned the animal over to his mother. Thanks again!
Not buying any more doggie medicine
where she gets the medicine it is twice what I can get here in my town. i asked my veterinarian and ordered it one time for them (and paid that time) but have not paid since. I was asking hubs about picking it up and sending it as I doubt very seriously my veterinarian office would mail to her out of town. Guess I will not do that now- not trying to enable as she would pay for it.
A doggie named Auggie. (nm)

I am loving these doggie-auggie
pictures- they are just too cute. I also do not know how to post pictures or I would show you my 2 fine male cats. They are real charmers their own self. Loving these, keep it up!
I think I am running a doggie day care here sm
LOL I have 2 dogs of my own a golden and a cocker. My son and his girlfriend magically get this chihuahua (sp?). Anyway, he is apparently abandoned by his owner who moved to California and said she would be "back in a couple of months" to take him back. When he first came into the area, his owner had a "party" and the puppy who is all of 7 months old got into some pot and ate it-had to be rushed to the vet for nasty temperament changes, and wow talk about mean. He bit anything and everyone including me at least 3 times. Well, we have all been working very hard with this little tiger to bring that demon temperament under control and he's coming along quite nicely, gets along with all of us, loves to play with my dogs and run in the yard. So what's the problem? I think I have spoiled him with love and discipline. He has to come over every day now. It's so cute. All my son has to say is "want to go see the dogs?" and he's jumping all over the place. I sure hope the owner doesn't come to claim him back because he is so well behaved now. All he needed was a little discipline and letting him know he can't run the show. He doesn't even bare his teeth at me anymore. He's such a doll. All the dogs lay in front of the full-view door and take their naps in the sun.
GROSS doggie question.
Bruiser is 14 months old, Duke is a year old. Bruiser licks Duke's behind a lot. We've only had Bruiser for two months, and I've noticed the licking just within the last couple of weeks. He also licks Duke's eyes and ears.
I don't think Duke's anal glands need expressed. He doesn't drag his butt or anything like that, and his stool is fine.
What's up with this behavior, anyone know?
Anyone got good low-cal doggie recipes?
I'm looking for both snack and meal recipes for an older dog that's kind of sedentary but LOVES to eat. I'm convinced the food at the grocery store is either highly caloric or filled with a bunch of junk.
Thanks for your suggestions!
Doggie Fiber Question
 Okay, will someone set me straight on this, PLEASE!
If your dog's stools are not firm and well formed (mushy, but not diarrhea) do they need MORE fiber in their diet or LESS? I just can't seem to get this straight because I've been advised both ways.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Are you NUTS?
"Weddings are very expensive. Mine was over 10000 a while back and if all 60 or so couples brought me a "gift" I would have been VERY upset. Sorry but it's true. "
Whoa. I got heart palpitations with that one. You spend what you, or whoever is paying, can afford, you do not expect your guests to help defray the cost of your wedding choices. You can HOPE that may be the case, but to expect it and be upset if the guests didn't fork over enough $$ is pretty shallow and has nothing to do with the whole reason everyone is there. Champagne taste on a beer budget is not your guests problem. A gift is a GIFT. It is not an expectation, nor is it an obligation. It is something given out of desire.
Weddings for so many are all about the 4-hour event, the dress, the music, the decorations, the venue, blah, blah, blah. Anyone remember WHY you are having that event? You invite your guests to share in your joy, not to write a check out to pay off the caterer.
Think about what the guest went through to be there for you on your special day. A new outfit, maybe a babysitter/petsitter, forgoing all other plans, maybe losing a day's pay, the drive there, all for you. Then you expect them to fork over a minimum of $25. Their presence should be more appreciated than their presents, for that is worth more than any dollar amount.
"I think most people who bring gifts are the ones who don't want to spend much or don't want people to know what they spent but that's just my opinion."
I can't even respond to that 'cause I'm trying to ward off the impending stroke.
This looks a lot like it - except it did not have nuts. TY!!!

I would tell MIL that she is nuts for doing that - sm
I have done quite a few ER reports on people who have been in accidents on ATV's, plus my mom had a friend whose son (16)was killed on one (on his birthday, he'd just gotten it). My DH keeps trying to get us one, I keep saying no way. I don't have a problem with a go-kart as it is low to the ground and would have a rollcage. But taking a 9-month old baby on that shows a serious lack of common sense. Does she take the baby in the car w/o a car seat? ( Mine would have if I had ever even let them have my kids, but they have no commom sense either hence I only ever have allowed supervised "visits" with them). Your job is to protect your children, if she was ever hurt because you allowed this to keep going on you would never forgive yourself. Put your foot down now before something bad happens. As for having someone watch her while you cut the grass, hello, why cannot your husband cut the grass??? Or if you MIL is so deperate to ride something, have her come over and cut the grass and put her on the tractor. So between the stupidity of her taking a baby on an ATV and the obvious damage to the baby's hearing which will be permanent-- I'd tell her to cut it out now and if you find out she is still doing it anyway, no more leaving her with grandma, plain and simple.
She is nuts...sm
If I had just had 8 babies and had an offer for professional nursing care 24 hours a day I would be like "What time can you be here?" How in the he!! does she think she is going to take care of them? I think the state needs to step in here and do something.
10k is nuts
Someone is taking you for a ride. You could get 1 from either of these and easily get a decent sale price for it private party.

And so will my doggie Tasha. She loved kitties. sm
Her fave was chasing them and then letting them chase her. I lost her when she was 14,too. She's been gone for 3 years but I still miss her.
any golf nuts out there?
Caught the golf bug about a year ago and watch almost every tournament on TV. Am going to the Open next month. Sooo excited, have never been to a tournament before and am so looking forward to seeing all my favorite players. Anybody have experience at a tournament, any tips? Thanks.
wonder if it gets the complimentary bag of nuts, too. lol

I don't think your nuts. In fact...
I just noticed my back STOPPED itching. I had an itchy back for the longest time...always rubbing against doorways like a crazed grizzly bear rubbing on a tree trunk, using a coat hanger to scratch myself, bathroom towel, you name it.
I think what was causing my problem was my chair! Whatever the fabric was on it was causing my back to get really heated and probably caused it to sweat and caused the itchies. I have a new chair and it just dawned onto me that I don't itch anymore! Well, I mean aside from the usual wintertime dryness, but nothing like before.
Anyway, it's just a thought. By the way, I'm jealous that you have Valium. Always wanted to try the stuff but no one likes to prescribe it anymore it seems. I just down some cheap wine instead. Works just as well I guess.
Hope you get some relief soon!
I know it is nuts but true
Plus, that includes labor, not just the price of the engine.
No you are not nuts, just what iffing yourself - sm
and you know most people your age are out at the bars on the weekend, hanging out with friends, meeting new guys, etc. Part of the reason I have told my kids to wait until they are at least 25 to get married. Sounds like you have a good life though, don't blow it thinking something better is out there. Maybe you can have a girl's night out once a week or twice a month or whatever to break up your routine. Sounds like you are afraid of getting into a rut. I have been married for 13 years now and see how our marriage has evolved from being on our own to two years, then having two kids, and the changes the years have brought to our lives. I don't do nearly as much as I did when the kids were little because I work more now, which I need to change. I go out with friends when I visit my family, it is my only time I get out without my DH, though my neighbor and I have been discussing going out, we still haven't, need to do it and say to the guys, we are going out, see you later! You are just a little restless and bored, and there is much you can do without compromising your marriage over it, get some new interests, do something new with your DH, do the girl's night out every now and then, try bowling, whatever. ---I have an ex-boyfriend whose wife (who had been my best friend until she started dating my ex--her choice not mine) decided after being married 4 months that she was not ready for marriage (after two years of dating and living together). He cried on my shoulder about what happened, she wanted to party every weekend (and did with her friends leaving him home alone), he was more of a homebody. They were both 23 at the time. So they were divorced after a 4-month marriage. After that he always wanted me to meet his serious girlfriends. Happy to say he is happily married to a girl who kind of looks like me though 10 years younger (she did not like that when she met me, has not been friendly to me since then-- doesn't understand I never wanted him "back") and has twins with her. He is in CA now so I have not seen him in a while but glad he found happiness. Believe me you don't want to toss your marriage due to restlessness and apparently a 2 year itch.
**Click for PICTURE of Jake, Desperado's doggie!**
I just love all these "kid" pictures! Jake is such a fashion forward little man with that scarf of his!
Poor kid; two nuts for parents :(

Ice cream with any kinds of nuts in it
Black walnut, butter pecan, chocolate almond. My mouth is watering.
Mine is exactly the same way, drives me nuts- sm
He does not understand why I can't keep a picture perfect house. He was raised by a neat freak so he thinks I should keep the house like his mom, immaculate. Not. We are not living in squalor by any means, but it can get messy quick with 2 kids and 2 dogs. Apparently no one but me knows to take dirty dishes to the sink, etc. Granted the house does need an overall/good cleaning/organizing, but help in not making it any worse would be appreciated. The kids help some and are slowly getting better, but there is still a lot I have to do myself and just don't have the time to do. Seriously thinking of hiring a housekeeper/cleaning service for either twice monthly or weekly cleaning. I still need to declutter but that would make my life a lot easier. Maybe you could do the same and hire someone to clean twice a month. I just wish I could take off for 2 weeks and get done around here what needs doing. I will probably take a week off of one job after school starts up again which will leave my days basically clear so maybe, just maybe I can get a few things done around here that need doing!
Nuts..wouldn''t open for me. nm

Yeah, only the nuts go that early; I get up about 8 and go then - sm
my neighbor is going at 4, I told her she was nuts. I don't go to get anything specific though, I just go for fun. I am pretty much done shopping already for the kids, just need stocking stuffers and a few gift cards and I will be totally done. Most of the early bird sales last until noon or 1 p.m. so why kill yourself.
What?? Sounds completely nuts!
These poor children should be taken out of this crazy situation. Sounds like something out of an x-rated movie with little kids in the middle of something that should be rated M for mature audiences only. I can just imagine what they will have to listen to when they're tucked into their little beds trying to sleep. Where are the grownups in all this? Sorry, but feel sorry for no one but the kids. Who would put up with this nonsense?? Kids deserve better. Get them out of there.
3-way stops drive me nuts --
we have 1 at the end of our block. When returning home, I am always on the street that doesn't have to stop. Unfortunately, I do have to turn left from that street and for some reason the people across from me, waiting at the stop sign to come straight through, seem to think that they have the right-of-way.
They have a stop sign. I do not. If I don't put on my turn signal, they may think that I'm going to straight and will start through anyway and end up hitting me. If I do put on my turn signal, they think I should have to stop.
It drives me nuts. They may as well make it a 4-way stop.

108 hours without a cigarette -- going nuts
Dang!!! I've quit before, never quit quitting, but this is SO HARD!!! Jumpy, jittery, freaky, sleepy, wierd. I'm all out of sorts. Doing the Chantix and the gum, so I'm truly not dangerously mean. I want to be a normal person, not someone addicted to this horrible habit. I want to be regular people. I envy nonsmokers and how normal they can be -- not obsessed with this frenzied urge. ARRRGGGG!!!! How much longer will I be nutso?
Love the doggie car-seat idea - you are a good mommy :)
I'm so sorry about your sister's dogs.
Wow..my mom had a schnauzer-mix named Jasper years ago!! Great little doggie!! nm

I hate when I can't remember a name. Drive's me nuts.
Liz Sheridan (not really redheaded) and Estelle Harris (not so much large-nosed) fit somewhat to your description. They played on Seinfeld as Jerry and George's mothers. That might be where you're getting the NY/Jewish thoughts.
There's also Renee Taylor, Fran Fine's mom on The Nanny. I believe her hair was platinum blonde on most of that show, however.
My first thought when I hear large nose, red hair, and New York are Barbra Streisand and Bette Midler, but then you'd probably not have a hard time thinking of their names. LOL
