Don't know about your God, but mine
my God is more forgiving than that!
She is not doing anyone any harm, so to say she will burn in h*** for celebrating the fun part of Halloween, not evilness, is the whole reason I do not attend church!
I never did it with mine. For one, I would have been
too embarrassed. My mother used to do it, but we have come a long way since then. I find it kind of primitive. I think nothing is wrong with it in your own home, but in public, I really think you should think about it. There are all kinds of weirdos out there and you just don't know what is in their minds. I see nothing wrong with breastfeeding INSIDE YOUR HOME, but there are folks who would get offended by doing it in public. I would not be offended, but really...I think you could put some of that breast milk in a bottle before you go out.
Mine is up
and FAKE -- Me and my fam are all allergic!
Have red/white/blue/silver these. Looks awesome. Have lights up outside too!!!!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Mine would be...
Laxatives
Laytex gloves
a metal detector
mine too
have to light a fire under his butt in an attempt to get him out of the house.
Mine did nothing at all, at least he went out and tried - sm
more than my DH did, though mine did ask me what I wanted, I told him, he told me to go buy it. This is typical for him. He used to get me beautiful jewelry for b-day, Christmas, annivarsary, that lasted for about 2 years or so, then it has been buy yourself what you want. I do not get bent (what is the point) though a little effort on his part would be nice. He did surprise me on our 10-year anniversary though this year, got me a beautiful opal necklace. As for the kids, my one daughter gave me 2 things, my other nothing, but she gives me wonderful drawings and such all the time, she just has a selfish streak I guess and does not think of others only herself. I just talked to her about this, maybe in the future she will remember our little talk and some good will come from it. My DH needs to learn somehow to have the kids get things for mom on special occasions, yours does too it seems. My neighbor has the same problem with her husband. Basically they are lazy people. He does none of the shopping, gift wrapping, packing to leave (except for his stuff of course), etc. He did buy 1 or 2 gifts, which I of course wrapped. This will probably never change until the kids are gone and he is an old man. I have seen it happen but not until grandchildren are on the scene and these men become model husbands for some reason, whether it is out of boredom or fear of the wife finally saying "I'm out of here, go fend for yourself", or they get struck my lightening, who knows, but beating yourself up about it is not the answer. If you are truly unhappy, get out, or kick him out. But if this is his "flaw" then either live with it, and buy yourself what you want each year or do something about it. It is your call how you deal with it.
mine went away
I had one on my nose for about a year and all of a sudden it just vanished and has never come back. It always bothered me because it was so ugly, but it never hurt and I didn't have to pay to zap it.
Two of mine have had and he will run
fever if he does not drink or eat the popsickles and get sicker. You probably know but you can cool him down with tepid water, try that. You will really have to keep up with you have to drink or eat cool, cold so he will not run that fever.
Yes, mine are
never and I mean never tempt fate. i could never say I was sick or someone else sick say if I wanted to be off from work, no, no, might come true. I have to knock on wood when I say something that is an iffy thing, don’t want to jink.
LOL, I had mine do just that
I gave him a testing tape. It took him hours to get through a page, typing with two fingers, with everything lumped together in one big paragraph, headings and all. Not to mention all the mistakes. lol He now says he has no idea how I do this. I told him I don't know either. : )
LOL! Mine does that too!
And I love how they can never puke/cough up hairballs on the tile, they always have to find a carpeted area (which stains). They can be in the middle of the tile kitchen and find the only rug!
Mine do that too! LOL!
I have tiles in my kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room, yet they decide to leave me presents in the living room or bedrooms where it is carpeted! I own a steam cleaner just for that purpose! LOL!
ok, here's mine...
Awesome: Ellen Degeneres (sp?)
Lame: Oprah
Mine is like that too. (sm)
I don't know why they so strongly believe that aggressive driving is good driving. DH always wants to drive or else he goes nuts, but when I occasionally end up being the driver, he needs to keep quiet so I can concentrate. Just because his BP is through the roof shouldn't mean mine has to be. Lately even when I'm the passenger I don't put up with it. As he starts up, complaining about traffic the moment we've pulled out of the driveway, I calmly remind him he'll live through it. He is starting to realize what a pain he is in the car.
Mine did this ONCE -
We were first married and actually WERE, uh, busy...You never saw someone hit the door running so fast. It never happened again. However, if I were you I would definitely lock my door and put up a sign asking everyone to please knock. It is YOUR house.
Here's how I got out of mine...
I called the cell phone company, said I was trying to cancel but got disconnected and had to call back. When the rep said I had to pay termination on both phones I said the previous rep said I only had to be for 1 phone disconnect fee. After going back and forth a little bit, the rep caved and only charged me for 1 disconnect fee. Worth a try. Good luck.
Mine
used to go on "business trips" and would never check in as well and came up with a world of reasons why. He was seeing other women. That also played a role in lowering my self-esteem, but now I look back and actually feel sorry for him. He's alone and will never have the respect or relationship I have with our children. It's just pitiful, but he made his bed.
I hope you have family you can talk to and get support from. If you need to email me, please feel free. I just know how you feel and I hurt for you right now, but I promise you, it'll all be okay.
Here are mine...sm
Knitting, crochet, cross stitch are my favorites, but the projects keep piling up in a corner because there is no time, and too tired to get through even 5 pages of a book at bedtime. Wish I had an adventure-filled life to blame it on. 
I got mine a GPS....sm
he gets lost VERY easily so I figured he'd love it.
mine are like that too.
The last time one of them was home he straightened out one my cupboards and they like to cook with me and play board or card games.
That is exactly how I fix mine, YUM! (nm)

First mine said he was gay
He deliberately married me for a "front" (he was in the military) and didn't bother to tell me he was gay until we'd been married 6 months. After years of confusion, he ended up having a sex change after marrying a second woman and having a child with her.
If you're lucky, he's just curious. But you really need to get the truth out of him, and be prepared for the worst. If he's really confused about his sexuality it may take him years to figure out who he "is" and what he really wants, so it may be difficult for him to tell you the truth because he might be in denial about it himself.
Mine was only 10 or 11, but she had - sm
aggressive, metastatic breast cancer that spread to her lungs. Vet said I would "know" when to have her PTS.
I knew when she didn't want to do anything but sit on the couch and stare off into space. No longer wanted food or attention, just occasional water, and kind of a blank stare. Was also out of breath all the time. So I had a long talk with her about it, and she just seemed to be saying, "Do it - I'm ready."
Well here's mine (sm)
I can lean on the slacker side sometimes too so here is what I do: get my tea- start half an hour early - read any interesting news on Yahoo, check and respond to emails, look at MTstars ;-) - just get that out of the way. Through the day I tell myself I can't switch over and check email or anything until I have done a certain number of minutes, etc., which earns me an email break. I also have motivational music on my computer - like The Blur's Woohoo! song that I play in between when I am doing things that don't require listening, like sending my work and things like that.
here's mine
 Life is good, I am SO blessed!
Mine is on my arm
I want a new one on my back but i'm afraid to get it done here; my one and only was done in Austin, Texas. Mine's pretty big, it takes up almost my entire upper arm.
yes, I got mine on 05/02
I was under the assumption that married people get 1200. Not true. We only got 600. The VA took 167.00 of it, so that left us with 433. Not exactly what I was expecting, but will come in handy.
I'd rather be where you are but here's mine:

Mine does this too
And I am in my 20s. I have them sometimes many times a day for a week straight or so. I am going to my cardiologist again soon but I assume it is nothing to worry about because they dont seem worried. I have a feeling they will do a Holter or something, but it is so hard to catch them because it seems it essentially just does it when it feels like it.
Mine is not like that but just as bad
After 25 years of being together he still has most of his stuff. He doesn't touch my stuff and I don't touch his. It is so hard to get him out of the mindset of keeping everything. He says there is a lot he wants to get rid of but the actuality of doing it? He can't bring himself to part with it even though he says he needs to lighten up.
Mine is....
"hisself" instead of himself. Drives me crazy.
Here goes mine..
ax instead of ask,
beedroom instead of bedroom (I think that's an Australian thing) or for that matter, betroom instead of bedroom
Daytawn instead of Dayton (& from residents too!)
The use of the f-word & the s-word in every other sentence... (if not every sentence)
The over-use of the word "basically" As in starting every other sentence, "Well, basically it's...."
Mine are:
warsh for wash (a common Hoosier-ism, I guess, but I still hate it)
liberry for library
chimbly for chimney
and my mother-in-law pronounces crayons "crins" 
Mine is 10 now
and of course he doesn't remember this anymore but my hubs asked him the other day if he wanted a hangaburger. He just thought his dad was weird. LOL Kids are so much fun.
Here's mine....see pic
I usually have a calico kitten sleeping on my notebook, but I'm not working this afternoon, so not sure where she is.
mine are not that age yet
thought about what i would do should that happen... i did it when i was young and i made some very poor choices during the time i smoked. though that's not happened yet, should it happen, i believe i would try to be with my kids as much as i possibly could. i would take them to school, i would pick them up, if they have a school function, guess what? mom's going too.
you know, when i was younger and did that, my parents DID have a clue... they may have wanted to act all naive but they KNEW.. and as ticked off at them as i would have been had they ever confronted me about it, i look back and truly wish they had and maybe shown some tough love. i think your son's father may be going overboard with wanting to kick him out.
the most important thing is, regardless of how you decide to deal with this, is to let him know how much you love him. bottom line is, if you didn't love him, you wouldn't care what he does.
Some of mine are.............sm
The Christmas Shows with Rob Lowe.
Santa and Pete with Hume Cronyn.
The Angel Doll with Keith Carradine.
The Santa Clause with Tim Allen
And my all-time favorite is It's a Wonderful Life with Jimmy Stewart.
Here is mine...sm
It is Souper easy (I know, groan!). Chicken, beef or veggie stock (not broth), frozen veggies depending on mood, quite a bit of garlic and onion, frozen tortellini, and maybe some bits of meat (usually not), and herbs depending on the other ingredients being used. Amount depends on how many people are being fed. This is good for using up leftover veggies, chicken and beef, too.
Here is mine....
..
Mine too! - They are probably all on an
island somewhere living a wonderful life and have left us here to deal with their replacements!
Please have your stranger come pick up my stranger on his way to this quest!
I'm 45, and mine is 26.
The sex is WOW. Best either of us has ever had. Mind blowing.
mine are
water with lemon slice and hot green tea with a hint of jasmine
Mine does too!
He calls his privates peanuts and when he asked why girls don't have them I told him the correct word but he pronounces it lagina.
Mine would be
Cookie Bartz - - NAH! Not so much 
Mine has gotten
fat, has bad teeth. Now that my girls are older, they are seeing him for exactly what he is and understand now why I left him. My BF and I have been together for 9 years now. The first 2 years we were together, between the 2 of us we had 9 flattened tires (mine were just flat, his had holes poked in sidewall--so new tires for him), and he had 1 sugared gas tank. All this stopped for a while, but 3 months ago my BF had another ruined tire. My ex is 54 years old, you think he would grow up.
Here's mine...
Johnny Gage, baby!
Mine are...
Alright now, I LOVE disco...Donna Summer, Kool & The Gang, Gloria Gaynor (sp?)...*I will survive...*
But I also really like George Jones. My son...he's 21 now...started listening to GJ when his friend's grandma gave him and the friend a cassette tape of GJ to take fishing with them. He loves him...began buying his CDs and playing them at home. I don't know, it just kinda grows on you. Now my son is in the Air Force, so sometimes we listen to GJ just to remember the days when he was still here with us and would drive us crazy always wanting to listen to his CDs...
mine...
Johnny Cash... Love the very old country.
Nickleback... Love them. (do not tell my husband or kids).
And finally, spice girls. I know, stop laughing.
I still have use for mine
Sure wouldn't trade him for a stray pit bull.
OK, here's mine!
I was in my first year of college when I took a job for an insurance company in a medical claims office. I eventually went to college at night and worked FT days. So I worked my way up to claim's preparer in a very short time and I get a claim in one day. A retired gentleman for some reason decided he was going to take the round ring with the ball bearings on it from a bicycle, where the handle bars attach to the frame of the bike. He put it on his penis and was apparently sliding it up and down until it got stuck..the more he tried to get it off the more it swelled up. He ended up going to the ER and they had to aspirate fluid in order to get it off. (ouch) So I get the claim and there is "no code" for that type of procedure in the book. I am in hysterics at my desk reading this claim form, pretty soon everyone in the office is laughing. The supervisor determined we would have to send it up to our main office for our physician to evaluate the procedure and determine how much we would pay. So the guys wife starts calling the office, highly ticked off that we have not paid the claim yet. She must have called at least 6 times and each time I had to explain to her that we had to have the doctor evaluate the claim in our home office and it would be paid as soon as he determined how much we would pay.
IF IT HAD BEEN ME, I would have paid the sucker myself, if we had to eat cat food for the rest of the month, I sure would not have been calling and asking when the claim was going to be paid.
what I did when mine were 18....if they sm
were not in school, I charged them rent. As far as how much it depends on how much they are making. Mine made as much as we did (they had very good jobs) so I told them they could pay 1/4. Four people living in the house divided by 4. Its only fair. They got mad and moved out and then came back when they figured out they really did have it good.
They are now grown and working and busting their butts for what they have.
If they are in school full-time that is different. If you don't do it kids just spend their money any way they want and never learn. I have an niece who is 45 years old, is an ultrasound tech making 30 bucks an hour and doesn't pay my sister a dime! My sister is widowed on a fixed income. But, its my sister's fault because she doesn't ask for anything either. Sometimes I could just slap my niece.. She spends her money as she chooses and acts like its no big deal!
