i was told mine is half jack russell half border collie
AND HE SURE LIVES UP TO THAT HYPERACTIVITY!!!
Really, I give my cat milk and half and half
well over 14. Stray cats will eat/drink anything they can get ahold of to survive. Not sure why we shouldn't give cats milk.
I don't find her particularly attractive...

IMO. she's extremely attractive, but....sm
She's fixing to have the majority of Americans come down on her like white on rice for that little error. :D :D
Come on, Ella, extremely attractive?. How and where?...nm

Sure. And don't use MY tax dollars...sm
To fund the worthless "abstinance-only" sex-ed programs that don't work. How many millions (or is it billions?) of our tax $$$ have been wasted on that in recent years by our genius of a president and his ilk?
Instead, give kids some actual useful information so they don't get STDs and don't get pregnant in the first place.
But no, the religious fanatics (don't necessarily mean you, just talking here) don't want anyone telling kids about birth control either. (Gasp! It might give them ideas! - As if they never thought about it before that - LMAO).
I honestly think they don't want anyone, ever to have sex unless they're married and are trying to conceive. Yeah. That's reasonable (not). Course I don't think anyone's ever accused the religious right of being reasonable...
Also, don't use my tax dollars
for the abstinence-only programs, as they obviously do not work that's for sure. I also think all of these religion fanatics/pro-lifers who insist on women having babies that they can't pay for should have to pay all the welfare bills and all the low/no income health programs, etc. that these kids use because I'm certainly sick of paying for other people's kids!
Your certainly right about the religious people who don't think anyone should have sex before they are married. Not only that, but once they do get married and finally are allowed to have sex, they better not enjoy it either, LOL. Sex is only for procreation...not for something evil like pleasure. =)
Your tax dollars
The schools wouldn't have to teach about sex if the parents did it - 99% of the parents will NOT discuss sex with their kids. Apparently, it is "too close to home." If you educated your kids about this, great.
I want my tax dollars to be used to educate kids about sex - the more information they have, the less likely they are to get into premature sexual activity. Do you know what most teenagers who come to Planned parenthood for birth control have already been sexually active for at least a year? That is a fact, and it should scar all of us that our kids are so casual about their own sexual health.
Also, as far as Clinton goes, exactly what felony perjury did he commit? None that I'm aware of. However, the present president has committed multiple felonies since taking ofice - most notably putting thousands of US military personnel in harm's way in a useless, senseless war that only made the rest of the world despise us even more than it did before. IMO, Bush is responsible for every US solider killed or maimed in that war. I've been against it from the beginning - not one of the Janes-come-lately who are now hopping on the anti-war bandwagon.
here is 5 dollars! have one on me!!

I totally freaked a couple years ago when I saw my male lifting a leg on the tree. Actually he did it at least once before that because... well, let's not go there.
Anyhow, that's when I went to 4-foot tree on a table with a nice long skirt. The only consequence now is my female tries to make a bed in the skirt that drapes a foot or so on the floor...
Funny how our lives revolve around our animals... OR ELSE!! ;-)
Your tax dollars already go to the local shelter/animal control...sm
Police Dept., or whoever handles animals in your community. I hate to break it to you, but you're *already* paying for it. So why not have your tax dollars spent on spay/neuter, education, and training programs thru the shelter *instead* of having to be spent (as they currently are) on housing, feeding, and ultimately euthanizing so many animals? Because a TON of $$$ is spent on that now. Look it up for your community. You'll probably be shocked at the costs.
Honestly, looking at it strictly from the financial aspect of it, it would cost *less* to do more spay/neuter and education. We have it completely backwards. Makes no sense.
That being said, many communities do have organizations that offer low cost spay/neuter for seniors and low income families. And many shelters are starting to get things going in a more postive direction. More power to them. Now if we could only get the pet stores/puppy mills and backyard breeders under control... *sigh*
HAHAHA, so that tells me they went
you're so funny.....
this kinda tells me that Tommy Chen's specifically went and sought out cats/dogs to serve up to the public...OMG - I'm nauseated...
I love Asian food today but I never order chicken in Chinese restaurants...I'l order shrimp because a shrimp looks like a shrimp....cannot be something else made to look like a shrimp.......*lol* Also, eating lots of Thai these days, versus Chinese....because I never got over what THEY did up there in NY....and I'm older than dirt *laughs*
hahaha, I just went through the same thing....
I have had larger dogs most of my life. I can't think of what size a pekinese is, but I had 2 huskies prior, and they both actually potty trained within a month. I now have a small dog, part chihuahua and part yorkie, and let me tell you, its been HARD. But, I think we were "set back" a bit because we got him from someone else, a woman who was pregnant and decided after she had the puppy for 8 weeks that it was going to be too much to have a puppy and newborn, and 2 other kids, so I took the puppy as my son has been begging for a dog for a couple of years. First time I had to potty train a small dog. I learned through a lot of reading online and talking to my cousin who has 4 small dogs, that because of their smaller bladders, its easier to start off by getting in the habit of taking them out often at first, and time when you feed/water them to when you take them out. My cousin told me to take out the puppy soon after feeding/watering, and then a couple of hours after that, an hour to 2 hrs afterward...then slowly lengthen the time in between taking the puppy out, reward with either a treat or just a cheery sounding voice and a good petting when the potty was done, and make sure to say "potty" or "outside potty" or whatever phrase you want to associate with going outside to potty. I haven't figured out how to get him to tell me by going to the door when he has to go, but hopefully that will come. When I got him, he was using piddle pads, but his crate was stinky when I got him, and I found out he was peeing in his crate during the night, the previous owner wasn't letting him out at all at night and was told by other dog owners that he probably got used to having to go in there, and I find that now if there is a blanket on the floor, he will go on the blanket, because he had a blanket in his crate to sleep in. I removed the blanket from his crate, and for a while I would take him out after 4 hrs into the night, and he stopped messing in his crate. He now can go 7-8 hours through the night without going potty if I don't feed him an hour or 2 before bedtime. I take him out to potty before bed, and first thing when I get him in the morning out of his crate we go out to the yard for him to potty. He still has accidents if I don't watch him, and I've been told its because of his smaller bladder, I'm not sure as I have never had a small dog before him. I live in an apartment without a fenced in yard or patio, so when I got a new MT job and had to train in-house for the first 3 months, I had him in our utility room because it was the only room with a linoleum floor versus carpet, aside from our small bathroom. The utility room is as big as one of the bedrooms, which we live in a small apartment, so while I was at work, I put his crate in the room, his food and water bowl, and on the other side of the room I put down newspaper and he did fine...and now I find that now that I'm back home, he will scratch on the utility room door (which I now usually keep closed) and if I don't take him out, he will piddle in front of the door, so I think he now thinks that's his potty place, haha. I had to put him in that room, though. So, now I keep newspaper or piddle pads on the floor in the utility room in the corner in case I don't catch him (I'm a single mom, so sometimes I don't hear when he's scratching as I'm doing other things), and that way he can just go in the room. So far he's been fine with this, but I can't figure out how to get him to scratch on the outside door instead since most of the time that's where he does go potty is outside.
He is 1 year old now, and rarely makes any messes unless I have the utility room closed and don't pay attention to the time.
hahaha, same thing here!
I have friends call me while I'm working asking to babysit their kid! I'm like "umm, I'm WORKING!" one job I had, we had to have yahoo messenger on as that was how they contacted us during our shift if they needed something, well I had this one friend constantly send me messages, and even if I was invisible to everyone but my work, she knew I was working and don't answer my phone, so she would just keep messaging, and if I didn't answer, she'd be constantly sending messages. I eventually had to change my user name to have one just for work so I didn't get any more interruptions from her. People just don't seem to understand that just because you're at home doesn't mean you don't have hours to keep and work to do.
My dad understands, he works from home sometimes through his line of work, so he is about the only person that knows to leave me alone.
As far as schedule and stuff for the OP, when I started working, I had a spare bedroom that I used for work, it was my office, and I was able to get more done when I treated it strictly as a work place, only went in there to work and only left during a lunch or potty break, lol, until I was done with my shift. But, now in my small apartment, I don't have a spare room, so now I have it out in the open, its harder for even me to keep away from doing things like laundry...so I do understand. I work midnights now so its a little easier, I live in an apartment so I cant have my washing machine running during the nights because it would wake up the neighbor, lol....
I hope you find a schedule that works for you!
HAHAHA- Wait until you hit menopause.SM
forgetfulness - returns in middle age to late middle age - happens to many/most w/menopause - you will become forgetful....*lolol*
and there is no escape unless, of course, you CHOOSE to take hormonal replacement therapy - which many have not and do not today due to the other very severe problems HRT causes...
YO - but a shout out to you - BEST OF LUCK IN YOUR MID 40s-50s......and 60s-70s w/that forgetfulness. *roflmao* and it doesn't get better into your 80s and 90s either. THINK ABOUT IT....*lol*
Your problem seems to be that you leave ABSOLUTELY no room for error, and it's all gonna come back and slap you in the face in a decade or two or three. I promise this - I don't wish it on you.....but it's KARMA -
KARMA - very much like a kinahura (spelling is wrong but YOU know what I mean) equates to what goes around, comes back around, and bites you right on the face (or in the tuchas.......take your pick)......
  
HAHAHA! Okay, get off mommy's computer now, please. nm

Isn't this a little too much?! LOL!
hahaha! REAL grown up, gals.
I'm back in high school. weee
Hahaha, cute. Dogs are not only smart, they are good neighbors. nm

Oh, you don’t know the half of it
I had no clue when we married he could even cook and his food is the best, really. He says he throws things together and anyone can do. Well I do not even try. He uses all spices, fresh herbs, loads of garlic (and yet for some reason not winding up with garlic breath?)and not only does he do all this but he can fix anything in a home or outside say, garden tools, lawnmowers, do repair work, did marble floors for us, installed vanity and bathroom in another home. He has some other brothers, comes from big families but I kinda doubt if his others are that talented and besides, the ones I know are taken. He is really a catch of a lifetime! Not only is his food good but like I said, he stretches a piece of meat like you would not believe adding it to rice or pasta with other vegetables and our food costs are really on the low side yet at the same time so very, very good to the tastebuds.
Half and half
My daughter who is a senior needs to be prodded a few times. My son who is a sophomore gets up on his own. I still make them breakfast and pack them a lunch though. I do it because I like to and because they are so independent otherwise, it is nice to still be able to do some things for them. They will both be gone soon and I am sure going to miss them.
Also at our high school, after 10 tardies they have a Saturday detention and then every 5 tardies after that.
Half and Half............
Your case is completely different than Done's. Are we discussing Done's case or yours?
If we start to discuss your case we have to start a new thread.
Well, half of it would pay off all
3 of my credit cards. My son is begging for a trip to the beach so that would definitely happen and then the rest would go in the bank for emergencies.
I would never ask for half BUT...
I do want him to realize that he wouldn't be able to pay for an apartment, insurance, phone, utilities, groceries, etc working fast food.
If I charge him for his auto insurance and his phone and 50.00 a week room and board then he will see how much he has left and that it wouldn't cover his expenses in the "real world". I'm hoping this will also reiterate how important it will be for him to go to summer school and get his high school credits so that he can at least have a diploma.
how would you like to be locked up half the day--sm
and all night? If you can't leave the dog loose in your own house for just overnight, then you should not have the dog. It sounds like the poor thing spends more time caged up than it does *free* and I am on the dog's side on this one. Please give the dog to someone who *cares* for it, properly. JMO
I do have a half-sister out there somewhere?
My father was married before he married my Mom, but his ex-wife ran off with his daughter. We have never met her, and he never looked for her! 
I just took a half a tablet at about 8:30
...just to see how that goes. He said 1/2 or 1 tablet t.i.d. p.r.n. My pulse was over 140 in his office today, which is what it was when the ambulance got here on Monday, and that is just NOT me. He gave me enough for a few weeks and then I go back to see him.
I think nearly a half generation did that too *lol*
Are you putting down a lot, like half?
I don't understand how you can even get such a high mortgage. Is that really possible? My husband and I make over 100K and have great credit and I know for a fact the most we MAY get approved for is 300,000 and that's with a lot of luck. Please enlighten me!
Scratch up at least half of what you owe - sm
(all of it if you can) go on a road trip to see him, 2-day drive or so if I read it correctly (or remember correctly), pay the ex off/get up to date on CS then stay a week or two, at least show your son that you want to see him and not just sitting back waiting for him to come to you when your ex decides it fits his schedule or is okay. Obviously find out if your ex has anything planned for the time you plan to go then just show up, I would not aprise anyone to your plans, just go. Even if he screws you over at least your son will see that you really, really wanted to see him and tried everything to accomplish it. This will make your ex look like a real schmuck if he does not let your son see you while you are visiting. Good luck.
I have for a week and a half now
I started it a week ago Sunday.. that would be the 17th. I have had absolutely no "treatment effects" as they call them. I have watched what I eat and have switched to some lower fat or no fat products, as far as like cheese, salad dressings, sour cream, things like that. I don't really eat a lot of fatty meat anyway, so that hasn't been anything to deal with. The changes have been pretty simple actually, pretty easy to make. Also with Alli, it only works around the meal that you take it with. So, if you basically want to watch your fat for most lunches and dinners, as I'm doing, you just take it for those two meals. I don't worry about it with breakfast because I usually just have cereal anyway. If you have some occasion planned, dinner out, might be having a meal with more than 15 g or so of fat, just don't take it. It is pretty simple really and if it does nothing else, it keep you honest with those meals you eat when you take it.
I'd tell him to take half the equity and get out - sm
not you. I am in a similar situation. I have gained about 70 pounds since we married, and 2 kids later. I never kept a great house but I was very organized; but several things have happened over the past 3 years and I have become less organized and I think mildly depressed as well. He used to nag me constantly about my weight but has finally backed off as I think he just stopped caring. I resent(ed) his constant harping about my weight and I think gained more in response; I was 30 pounds less 3 years ago. Even the kids know something is not right though we do things together as a family my DH screws it up somehow and the kids end up in tears half the time or I get upset over some mean thing he said. My younger one has said she wants to live with him if we ever divorce, how sad is that (he is more lenient as he wants to be liked by the kids). His mom is a clean fanatic, they had to shower in the basement as she did not want them messing up the bathroom, before that they had to wipe dry and clean the shower/tub everytime they used it. When she is here she picks up and folds every loose thing, etc. Her home is spotless but she has no kids or animals; we have 2 dogs and a cat and 2 kids who can make a mess really fast. I take care of everything around here but the cooking plus work 3 jobs to boot, so that is one reason the house is not a Good Housekeeping showplace, the other is I hate cleaning.
I would not change for your husband though. I am however going to try and lose this weight, though not for him. I get out of breath very easy now and I want my health to stay good. I am curious to see what reaction I get from him when I do, I suspect he won't like in in the long run, especially if I can pull it off and look darn good in the process. I am also considering getting a cleaning person to come in once a week and clean, but I will tackle that in the Fall. I did get one of those robot vacuums but have not tried it as yet. I also am thinking about seeing a divorce lawyer just to see what my options are in case he pushes me to my limit. He has threatened me with divorce but I doubt he will do it but in case he does go and spring that on me I want to know what I can expect. I think for money reasons alone would not do it as I would fight for half the house equity though it is not in my name we bought it after we were married and have lived in it for 9 years together; half of some property we own (my name is on that deed) and half his 401K from the point we married to present. So he would owe me a tidy sum, I estimate about $185K; so basically he'd have to pay off the house and give it to me as a divorce settlement + child support for 2 kids. He would be pretty cash poor for quite a while but could build a house on the property which would kill him as he wanted to have no house payments by 50 (he is 48)-- I'd want full custody of the kids but I am afraid of some financial issues that would prevent me from being awarded them; so that is why I want to see a divorce lawyer before he does (he has threatened that 2 x, but as he is a big talker I kind of ignore it, but I need to stop being naive about it just in case he does follow through for a change). You need to do the same thing, contact a lawyer and find out exactly where you stand, you have nothing to lose by doing this. I plan to do this as well, once the kids are back in school as I cannot very well drag them with me and have them come home and say, mom went to a divorce lawyer today, yeah, that would go over well.
But your husband and mine sound very alike. I know my kids love me despite my youngest saying she'd rather be with daddy, though after our disaster outing yesterday I doubt she feels that way. She says I work too much which is true but I use it as an escape too which is not good. I had a lot more time off last summer but took on some extra work lately and it has been very busy this summer. I have promised her to start taking off every other weekend so we can do more together so that should help some for us and for me mentally as well. Good luck.
You got that right! I was half laughing and (sm)
crying when he did the "Crying" song with the turtle last week! Piers shot right out of his chair on that one! I voted for him about 12 times or so altogether. My nephew's wife voted for him 10 times three different ways. . phone, computer and different phone.
My better half just had enough of this low flush job
and he spent well over $250 for a newer, will flush all down. Having folks coming over for the holidays and like you said, not gonna be embarrased by a toilet you have to help along and we changed out the powder room first because that is what a visitor would be directed to. All 4 baths here did have that same low flow toilet and they do not work well. Like you, if you have to flush 2-3 times to get them to work, what is the use??
Wow! You lost half of yourself
I am in awe!
Half a cup dry is 150 calories (I believe)
So one cup dry is 300 calories. Skim milk is 80-90 calories per cup, 45 calories per half cup, etc. Sugar is 15 calories per teaspoon.
Hope that helps.
usually it's half price
But most places you sneak food rather than pay :)
half of your salary is too much. I sm
think it should be done based on what the kid is making. In our case, the kids made more than we did but they paid 1/4 of the expenses. Adults? Its only fair.
If your income has been cut in half (sm)
I have to ask - what are you spending the money on? Rent is the first thing you should pay, then food, and then transportation. If you are worried about paying credit cards first, or some other debt, you are cutting your own throat.
I would advise you to do some looking at Dave Ramsey. He has several excellent books, available usually from the local library.
Also, as for the husband, sit down with him and talk to him - I don't know if you have done this or not, but his playing the video games may be a way for him to escape. If he has always been responsible in the past, then his irresponsibility now is probably a defense mechanism.
You both need to step back and take the emotion out of it. If you are not able to do that, the situation is not going to improve. You both have to show commitment to making the relationship work, even on so little money.
If you have a pastor or some sort of mentor/advisor, that might be a good place to start, once you have talked to your husband. A neutral party who can look at the situation from all sides can help.
Good luck, from someone in similar shoes.
HC
that is - half the girls - also if they do pass this - sm
how long do they "have" to watch it, 1 minute, 5 minutes, what, a half hour until they change their mind? Once they get this passed, believe me, they will try something else, give an inch, they take a yard.
