Go for the classics, like Bringing up Baby or Philadelphia Story.

How about Blazing Saddles, Life of Brian, A Fish Called Wanda, or My Cousin Vinny?

Aww...story about the skateboarders that rescued abandoned baby (sm)
Did you see that??? It's on NY Post and USA today sites. I know it is awful that the baby was abandoned...but did you see the guys who rescued her?  Rough looking New York teenage skateboarders...warmed my heart to see that!!!
Philadelphia. Has the best of everything!!
x
Not until 9/6 near Philadelphia. College kid left, tho.
x
I'm from the capital of scrapple, Philadelphia.
I've also never hard of vinegar on scrapple. Maple syrup seems to be popular the further west you go. I definitely don't like that. I see a lot of people using ketchup, but I consider ketchup to be a waste of good tomatoes. I hate the stuff on anything. When I was a kid, whenever we had scrapple for breakfast, we'd also have big, thick slices of tomato on the plate, too. I loved that. It has to be really fresh, really ripe and tasty garden tomato. Since I haven't had a garden for years and years, I rarely have the tomato with scrapple anymore.
I'm not one for the classics
unless Dr. Seuss counts. I, too, love Cornwell, along with James Patterson, John Sandford's Prey series, Sue Grafton. I discovered Janet Evanovich a couple years ago, and her stuff is great fun...it's got good exciting stories, but she's got it laced with humor, so there have been times when I was reading in public and ended up looking like a fool because I was just busting up while I was reading (it was shortly after that supreme humiliation that I started taking sudoku along with me instead).
Classics/Books

I'm not really one for the classics either though I did like To Kill a Mockingbird.


I haven't read Sue Grafton or Janet Evanovich.  I average at least 40 books a year between true crime, medical mysteries and murder mysteries.  I am also hooked on TV shows like Forensic files, FBI files, Cole Case Files and that show called something "Evil" where the forensic psychiatric examines the minds of serial killers.  What really spooked me was the BTK killer's lack of emotion.  It was just like he was talking about nothing more than an ATM withdrawal.  My husband jokes that I just read true crime and watch those shows because I'm plotting to kill him. 


Many classics but I have to say one Amy Grant CD is my favorite
Breath of Heaven and Grown up Christmas List are just beautiful.  If you have not heard these, you need to give a listen, you will want to buy the CD.  :)  I added a link to the song clips (if I did that right.)
Yeah, give me the classics
Songs like these, and not sung in some weird new version either.

- Joy to the World
- Away in a Manger
- God Rest You Merry Gentlemen
- Come, All Ye Faithful
- Little Town of Bethlehem
- What Child is This?
- Hark! the Herald Angels Sing
- It Came Upon a Midnight Clear
- Silent Night, Holy Night
- The First Noel
- Oh Come Let Us Adore Him
- The Twelve Days Of Christmas
- Merry Little Christmas
- Rudolf the red nose Reindeer
- It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas
- Jingle Bells
- I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus
While I love all these old classics from my childhood...sm
As an adult, I love the Mannheim Steamroller Christmas albums. There's just something about them that makes my heart sing. I like the first one the best.

And my husband and I have a new favorite:

The Jethro Tull Christmas Album.

I would recommend it to everyone. We love all the songs on it, and you have to listen carefully to the words, as well as the melody. Well worth the time to enjoy new favorite.

THANK YOU for bringing that to my attention

I totally agree, and I signed the petition. I wish they would pass a similar bill about childbirth. Some women can only stay in the hospital 24 hours after their child is born (or it may be 24 hours total, I'm not sure). Or at least that's all their insurance will pay for, if it is a healthy birth with no complications.


I am currently fighting with my HMO about a medication that I desperately need. At the moment I am buying it through a "Canadian pharmacy" (based in New York state) and it is sent to me from Mumbai, India. In the U.S., the medication costs $10.00 a pill!!!  Through this pharmacy, I get it for $1.77 a pill.  But it is still more than twice what my normal co-pay would be if the $#@%#$ HMO would cover it.


So any kind of insurance reform bills that ANYONE knows about, PLEASE pass the info along. Thanks!


how about bringing someone into your home
a few hours maybe 3 days a week? You could canvass local daycares and find someone who has toys and resources to come in and work with your son. They can encourage good behavior with a reward system (have you tried a reward system instead of a punishment system?) It really sounds as though your son is understimulated in addition to wanting to run things and needing the right kind of attention (I don't say this to offend you...but you may not be meeting his needs with being so overwhelmed and things have just gotten into a rut). I had to work every Saturday for 2 months recently and I got a daycare worker my daughter loves to come spend a few hours of one-on-one time. I got my work done, my daughter felt special, the cost was minimal compared to what I earned, and the sitter loved coming. It was a win-win situation.

It is unrealistic to think you can strip your house of everything you need and want to live with. If what you are doing now is not working, you need to do something different. I hope you get some creative ideas.
Bringing up the thread on NY bagels

before it gets * pruned *


I have a dumb question - - - - what makes a NY bagel so great??? I would think it is just bread dough formed in a circle....like I get at Albertson's or Safeway or Ralph's.


 


Bringing your kids to see their granddad sm
My perspective: I had an uncle who was severely ill several years ago. His sons lived in different parts of the country and when he was well enough, they flew him in to visit. I could not see him so often, so I decided to write little notes to him from time to time. Talked about some funny things that he had done and how much they made me laugh. When he was gone, my aunt told me how much those trips and the notes meant to him, it was like a gift that he and the family got to experience before he was gone, a chance to say good-bye, that many people don't get.

My prayers are with you and your family.
Depends on who's bringing the desserts.

In my family some of us are cooks and some aren't.  So it depends on who brings what.  If it's easier for the person to buy a pie than make it, that's fine.  If I'm bringing dessert, I usually make the pies.  I have a sister who does not cook, so she always buys them.  BUT she buys really good ones from local pie shop.  For the first time, this year my 12 yo niece has been put in charge of dessert for Thanksgiving, with my SIL overseeing it.  She's learning to cook and bake and even called me to ask for one of my dessert recipes that she really likes.  I'm very pleased she's trying and don't really care what she makes, it's the thought. 


P.S.  I do have a pumpkin pie stashed here at the house for later tomorrow night though!

Rules about bringing medication to
school are there for a reason. She knew she was not supposed to do it as all of that is explained EVERY school year. In our schools, medications (even aspirin) is kept in the office with a note from a doctor (whether rx or not) and they dispense it.
What doctor does my DH need to see: Bringing up post

from below. I was unable to answer until today.


Those are good suggestions, but it can't be CO2 as it happens when he's standing in his garage too. He doesn't get a headache, just the eye problem.  He had his INR check/doctor appointment yesterday and told him about it again.


Finally, an answer....sort of! Can't be low blood pressure because of the Toprol. Can't be blood too thick because he's on Coumadin. If DH wants, doc will make an appointment for the specialist (supposedly one of the best in the country) for a look-see and maybe some sort of laser treatment. It has to do with fluid build-up behind the eye that puts pressure on the nerves or something like that.  It's harmless, so he says.


I don't like it and wish he would get it checked out, but we're still waiting for his first check of the year. So, he's going to hold off.


He's also supposed to be bringing his young little
girlfriend on the show... This is on film forever and ever for the kids to get to re-live their father leaving the family for a new hot young thing. How lovely for the kids.

And to those who say, 'but Kate is a hard-@$$...' he knew how she was before he married her, and he certainly knew how she was before the last batch of kids. He made that bed & now he's abandoning it for a newer younger bed. What a great guy....
Bringing my issue with grandparents and cousins to the top

I am sorry, I got myself out of town for the weekend to get away. I am still at a loss. I have tried contacting my grandparents numerous times to no avail. I emailed my sister, and she talked to my grandmother who said she has simply "missed my calls." Thank you all for letting me vent Friday and giving me opinions. I will not stoop to their level. Also, to the poster who asked why I think the baby's name had to do with it, it is because she kept saying, "Figure it out, Daddy's girl" and because when I asked if that was it, she said, "What baby, did I say something about a baby" and "aren't you a little Einstein."


 


Thanks again all!


Giving up and bringing him to your bed was your biggest mistake -
You are teaching him that you are going to give in to him if he whines a bit. If you will just consistently hold out and not go to him, he will stop it in a few days. I just went through this with my new pekingese. She took about 2 weeks of crate training before she quit whining. I never gave in to her for whatever reason and even if it was time to take her out, I never got her out until she was completely quiet. Now, all I do is tap the box when it is time to go in and she usually goes in completely on her own and she never cries anymore.

In Europe, bringing pets into stores is quite common and has been

Bringing Lost discussion up to top of board (major spoiler alert)

Okay, all you "Lost" fanatics, what are your theories now, and how have they changed? Who or what is Jacob? How did the "original inhabitants" of the island get there? They are mostly Caucasians with American accents, with a few exceptions. They don't look like the usual types of people who are native inhabitants of Polynesian islands - if, indeed, that is where the island is.


Why were Jack and Juliet keeping secrets from the rest of the group? If they had been honest and up front from the beginning about Juliet, maybe they could have all figured out a way to foil Ben's plans without bloodshed.


And will the island heal Locke? Obviously he is of major importance - I don't think Ben heard Jacob at all, and he was jealous and afraid when he realized Locke heard him. That's why he shot him. Ben is turning out to be an even bigger weasel than before.


And what exactly was the Dharma Initiative studying? Does Ben really know? After all, he was only a "work man" like his father.


For every answer, there are a dozen new questions - at least!  


There is teacher's side of story, kid's side of story

New baby on the way.
Congratulations!!!!!! Hope you have a beautiful, healthy baby. I lost my first baby and it was 4 years before I tried again. I also think about the baby I lost, I don't think that ever goes away. I am proud to have two girls now to enjoy. Take pleasure in each moment. Enjoy!
I just want him to baby me
I am a female have been married to my husband for a year and 7 months, (no kids yet) and ever since I have been married I feel like I am babying him. I am more affectionate to him, I always want to cuddle with him, always worried about him and feel like I don't want to lose him. we have a great relationship open and honost. But sometimes I want him to run after me, to show me affection, to take care of me to feel like he is scared to lose me. I want him to tell me that I wanna go out with you with out any friends just the both of us, I just want him to baby me like I baby him. what do I do? trust me I have tried talking to him, but you see I don't want to tell him these things I want him to do it on his own. I go to school 2 times a week in the evenings and I always have to beg him to pick me up from school, I want him to tell me that he wants to pick me up. how do I go about? please help.
The baby's name is
Dannylynn Hope Marshall Stern. I think the move to Bahamas was Stern's idea and I think he is sly like a fox, i.e. the main players mother and son out of the way and now the baby who he is laying claim to with the name of Marshall in there (deceased husband's name). If you are the real father, you would demand to have paternity testing- we all know this is something he has tried (unsuccessfully thank goodness) to stop. The courts supposedly giving DNA results this past Tuesday but nothing yet. It would be a big shocker if the husband who died (Marshall) turned out to be the really father, wouldn't it? Can we say invitro?
My baby Fox isn't doing well.
He hasn't felt well for several days, but it seemed that every time we decided okay, we definitely need to take him to the vet, he would improve a little.

But today my son was getting ready to leave the house and Fox usually runs after him, barking, to try to get him not to leave. Fox started barking, but he couldn't get up. He was on the carpet, not the wood or the tile. He just could not get up.

So I took him to the vet and she examined him. He has arthritis in both his knees because of the surgery he had when he was younger (for patellar luxation). We found out a few months ago that his right shoulder is luxating in the same way that his kneecaps did.

Now his left shoulder is also luxating.

He's such a little stoic it is hard to tell exactly how much pain he is in. The vet gave him a prescription for a fentanyl patch. My husband should be home in a few minutes so he can help me put the patch on. The vet shaved a place on his back for it but she said to hold it in place for 2-3 minutes so that it adheres properly.

The vet said the pain reliever might make him feel so much better that he would be running and jumping around and injuring himself worse. If he feels well, the only way we can keep him from running around is to crate him.

I don't know what to do. I don't want him to hurt. I don't want to shut him up in a crate. He would go nuts - he is used to being very active.

I don't want to keep him alive and miserable for my own selfish reasons - that I can't bear to part with him. But I also don't want to decide too soon that his quality of life is unacceptable.

I don't know what to do.

Baby sm
First of all, congratulations! You are about to experience the greatest gift on earth. I was not heavy but had a friend who was. Mind you, this was way back, as I am older, but I was surprised that she actually went on a very healthy diet which was good for the baby, and actually lost a few pounds. Check with your docs, but perhaps this will be a great incentive for you. Be positive, it will all be good! Best of everything to you and your baby.
Baby's bpm.
Hello. I just had my first real appointment at 12 weeks today and the doctor, i believe, told me the heart rate was 114. I've been trying to do some research on this but the more time i spend on the computer the more worried i'm getting. I've been reading a lot of women saying they lost their babies. The rate was much lower and around 5-6 weeks but i'm still scared. If anybody has info. about this or knows a thing or two i'd really appreciate it until i can call the doctor tomorrow. Thanks so much. =)
My baby
Buster is unfortunately not a puppy anymore. He will be 14 in January. He has some arthritis in his back legs and has what we think are TIAs occasionally, but he still runs and plays like a puppy when he gets a new toy.
Maybe you could rig that baby to
heat the house!   
Baby? lol
He looks like a big baby! lol How cute, looks like he poses for pictures often. I would definitely have that one in a frame with that beautiful smile! :)
Sorry about your baby...
Losing a pet is like losing a member of the family.  We lost our beloved 9-year-old black lab 4 years ago, the week of Christmas.  I had to take him to the vet because out of the blue he had an episode, that he just lied there and wouldn't respond.  I thought he was dead then.  He came to and I took him to the vet.  She couldn't find anything wrong with him, took some blood for testing.  He died the next day.  It broke all of our hearts and when I saw my husband cry (I had never seen him cry before in 13 years of being together), it made the hurt that much worse. 
Hopefully someone will come up with 8 baby

Congrats!!

right age for a baby?

For those of you who are planning to have kids, what is the "right" age to conceive? Of course everybody will have a different right time, but I'm just curious about other people's time lines.


What about Sun-In (to go along with the baby oil)...
and, more importantly, drive-in theaters - my boyfriend and I used to go to the drive-in almost every weekend in the late 70s/early 80s!!  I wish they would bring the drive-in back.
some relief for your baby...
Try hemorrhoid cream to the blisters...I swear it will significantly decrease the itching.  My daughter was around 4 when she got the chicken pox and I put Preparation-H on her blisters and kept it on them and she barely noticed them.  Please try this, it honestly will help!  Good Luck...and BTW, sounds like the doctor isn't the only one that is a jerk!!! ---to your "husband"...
Poor baby!
I hope you can figure out what's going on with her.
A note on my baby
I left a message on the board about how my babies F/L was measured short and the doctor told me the baby probably had down syndrome.  Well, I went to see a specialist who was very upset with the previous doctor and he did a level II ultrasound and my baby is perfect and normal.  They do not measure the F/L for down syndrome.  They measure the humerus bone.  Anyway to make a long story short-----thanks to all who responded !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Oh and the baby has very long legs......
2 is NOT a baby! It's a toddler and IMO too old...
to be breastfeeding! That's disgusting for a child that old and YES I would be offended and grossed out to see a mom breastfeeding a 22 month old! I have absolutely no problem with moms breastfeeding BABIES in public, but not a toddler.
Thanks for that tip on Baby Alive!
I was wondering such!  My daughter's birthday is in two weeks, and guess what she's asking for?  More food and diapers for Baby Alive!  Poor Baby Alive, she hasn't been fed since the day after Christmas!  She'll be so happy when birthday time comes!
Baby Alive
You bet!!! My 5-year-old loves Baby Alive. We are on our second extra package of food (10 pack). The cost of diapers was getting crazy so I gave it a shot. You have to adjust the pretty tightly but $7.00 for 40 diapers is so much better than $4.88 for 6! I am wondering if you can used baking soda and water for food? Good Luck!
My Mom got my Baby Alive from
a yard sale, but I loved her anyway!  I could only play with her in the backyard on the picnic table, or maybe I just chose to do so??? lol  Anyhow, we had great times and I'll never forget her, ever!
Baby Alive
Me too!  I will be 40 next September.  Wonder what became of my original? 
I'm not going to breastfeed my baby...sm
by choice. I want my husband, other kids and family members to share in the joy of bonding with the baby by bottle feeding at times and have no desire to be pumping my breasts. Our pediatrician leaves it up to the mother to decide whether or not to breastfeed, which is the way it should be. I've known plenty of kids who were bottle fed that turned out just fine.
Anna's Baby
Yes! Yes! Yes! The baby should be with the real father now.
TrimSpa Baby!!
Great for the heart...
the baby did ask to be born
