How about staying overnight at somebody's house

Posted By: Me on 2007-02-05

or even in a hotel, and not being able to figure out the shower controls. I don't know why a shower fixture designer would be so mean as to hide basic controls, but one design that has stumped me turned out to be a little ring that appeared to be a nonmoving part of the faucet, that had to be pulled upward. If you couldn't find it, you couldn't get the water to go from the lower faucet up to the showerhead. Furthermore, all the control it gave you was on or off, instead of being able to control water pressure.

Sheez, why the secret? It's not as if it is even an attractive design!

I definitely think having her stay in hospital overnight would be best.

Planning an overnight bus trip to NYC...
bags after we check out of our hotel on the 2nd day?  I don't want to have to carry my luggage around all day.  Surely others have run into this problem.  Anyone have any ideas??  Thanks a bunch!!!
Had someone like that lifting off the overnight covers at

Never tried it, the name reminded me of an overnight laxative. nm

I know, but backbones don't grow overnight.
I also realize that I 'lived' before my kids came into this word.

And I know I made bad decisions that turned me into a single mom.

I'm not saying I hate my life. I'm just tired. I probably wouldn't know how to live at this point anyhow.

You are 100% right and I'm not making excuses, but it didn't get like this overnight and it won't change overnight.
I was allowed to have guy friends stay overnight BUT -sm
they could not sleep in my room with me. They were welcome to crash on the couch. My parents knew I was having sex with them but it was their house and their rules. I never really had a problem with it and plan to do the same with my 2 girls.
I live in Wyoming, I stayed overnight in the
was considered "same day" because I was discharged prior to 24 hours. I had my surgery on a Monday and returned to work on Wednesday. Every insurance company is different, check into your insurance very very well and have full knowledge of what they cover and what they don't. There are ALWAYS surgical complications that CAN occur, I have been fortunate and have had no complications.

lapbandtalk.com is a fantastic website to go into to.

I wish you the best, and you can e mail me if you would like.
You can change overnight. Dont accept them

Yeah, she lets pans sit overnight from cooking
sandwiches or eggs and then uses them the next morning to cook the same or she will just wipe them out with a paper towel and call them clean...no way! When she lived with us, I would have to get to them before she had a chance to use them the next morning on the kids before I got up!
Vaseline & socks overnight - not sexy but works nm

Food safety question - left chicken in oven overnight (sm)
I baked two pans of chicken last night and one of them I forgot and left in the oven all night.  It has not been touched or opened since being cooked.  If I reheat it today do you think it is ok to eat or would you be afraid of food poisoning???
Okay, I was staying out of this until now

Philly Gal, people like you make me sick.  You are working for the same reason the rest of us are, to make a living, regardless of what the money is used for.  I've worked with women like you my whole life who act like they're working just to give themselves something to do.  Face it "Honey," you have bills like the rest of us and if you didn't work, your perfect little life would not be nearly as wonderful.


My SO is staying here a while
before moving in permanently.  The last time he was here, he always left his cell phone around - which I never checked and did not even think to do so.  I heard him talking a minute or two while I was in the shower today.  Then he went out for a walk but returned a short time later because it was too hot - he loves the hot weather.  I have noticed that he carries that cell phone around as though it is attached to him - takes it to the shower, etc.  Am I being paranoid?  Any input would be appreciated!!
Then WHY are you staying? NM

How is them staying together better for the children?
It would have been best for the children if these too goofs had used effective birth control and not brought innocent people into the mix, but since they did the best thing for those kids is to get K-Fed out of their lives as much as possible and hopefully Britney has the sense to hire a good nanny because she's no prize either.

I say mandatory sterilization is a great idea for these two clueless, selfish, immature, irresponsible people who had no business reproducing.
My secret is staying out of the sun

and wearing a hat or slathering on a crapload of sunscreen!  I got totally fried when I worked for a nursery (plants) back in the early 1990's and my ears burnt so bad they they actually got a tad deformed around the edges!  I love outdoors time but I'll be darned if the sun is gonna be the cause of my demise! 


Besides, I'm a superfreak when it comes to medical stuff.  I love researching all sorts of medical crap and that nasty IUD just stuck in my head from my days in Anatomy and Physiology 101. 


I also have a fetish for bugs too and someday, before I die, I'd love to play entomologist or something queer like that.   


 


 


But- she is still questiong about staying?
What is the question? He was an older guy trying to molest children- what question does she have? None that I can see.
Need help with ideas for remodeling house and decorating. We bought a house

in fair condition about 10 years ago, got into some medical problems, and have just now paid off the mortgage.  Hubby and I agreed we would do nothing to the house for remodeling because we wanted to pay it off first, then the medical bills.  I need to know of some websites/magazines/books to start researching for how to go about this.  These will be major repairs - roof, septic, basement, windows, pretty much everything except wiring.  Where do we start?  Maybe hire a general contractor just to do an evaluation and give us recommendations?  Hubby is a handyman but cant seem to get a handle on where to begin.  We would like to do as much of the work ourselves as possible - labor of love and all that...   


Thanks for any and all kind suggestions!


 


What's your trick for staying awake? (sm)
I don't sleep well at night, even with taking a pill, and during the day lately I'm finding it harder and harder to say awake.  I've had 2 caffeinated beverages but that's not helping.  Smacking my face isn't helping. It's killing my line count.  Right now I have a clothes pin on my earlobe causing just enough pain to keep me momentarily alert, but I don't expect this to last.  Any suggestions?
Trouble staying awake - what do you do?? (nm)

...staying when there's NO love and no respect for YOU. nm
s
That was my thought, too. And have her eat well, staying away from junk
s
you did the right thing staying by the child...sm

and addressing the parent...I did worse than that...took the child, brought him to the front of the store and called out "lost parent alert"...Boy, that man was upset! 


It's a shame that there were so many "nm" people out there replying to your post.    Cat 


Sometimes staying is worse for the kids
I was in a similar situation for a long time.  Our home became almost never peaceful due to their father's irrationality.  It was an emotionally unsafe place for our 2 daughters.  I'm not saying divorce is easy or always the answer, but in our case, we have had a friendly one, we are both still totally committed to co-parenting our children and everyone gets along so much better with him under another roof.  My kids were 12 and 10 at the time (13 and 15 now), and we have been able to talk freely about all the issues and no one, not even my ex at this point, is happier than we ever were when we were living together.  My daughters are above-average to excellent students in school, excel in music and sports and have the best relationship with both me and their dad that they have ever had.  Sometimes you just got to look at a bigger picture about what is truly best for them, and then work at making sure their adjustment is paramount whether you decide to stay or decide to go.  But having said that, be sure you do what is ultimately best for you too, I stayed as long as I did only because I let others try to tell me all the pat things, divorce is wrong, divorce is harmful to them, yadayadayada.  Bottom line, if you are constantly unhappy, so will your kids be.  Part of the reason my kids are so cool with the divorce is that they can now see me (and their father) happy.  He has found a new partner, I haven't, but my happiness is not dependent on that.  I go out some, but don't bring men around them to try to make a new daddy for them or anything like that.  You have to decide what is right for you and for them, no matter really what anyone says.  Once you have completely made that decision for yourself, you can make the rest fall into place.  Best wishes to you!
I need help staying awake. I'm so sleepy. Any suggestions?

I go through spells like this where I just can't keep my eyes open and today is one of them.  I find myself going to grab something to eat to help, but that really doesn't help with the weight any.


I desperately need to wake up.  My workday is only half over.  Any ideas?


Although I disagree with you staying, I admire your spirit :) nm

Dancing With the Stars. I wanted to see who else was staying, but they (SM)
kept fooling around and I would go from one channel to another watching something else, then back again.  The commercials were over, and I dashed back into the room with the pan, sat down in my chair and without thinking laid the hot pan down beside me, realized what I had just done, but too late!  They didn't even announce the next couple to stay then anyway!  I watch the show from time to time, at least parts of it, but never got that into it, just wanted to know who would be eliminated last night. After the carpet deal I didn't care and still don't know! 
Staying at home and sleeping it in. Have to be at work at
4:30 a.m. on New Year's Day.
You know, it's kinda quiet on this side so would appreciate you staying with whatever
cat fight you might be in on the other pages.

Staying at home and raising us kids worked for my mother
Hmm. It should be okay with me right? Oh, wait, that puts me in the welfare line which you think everyone takes advantage of.

You don't live in your mother's time. I wish you did, because the internet didn't exist then.
Oh Wow. Staying in downtown Atlanta in a historic hotel. This place is haunted. No one

told me this, I am a Christian and I feel this heavy spirit following me everywhere I go! How crazy is that? I believe there is something here at this place. It is a beautiful place, but definitely something spiritual going on here. This was the place where they had some Gone With The Wind ball many years ago. Very strange.


 


We are here visiting and going to the zoo, children's museum, and aqauarium this week. Wow. I have the chills right now! night night


 



Anyone have plans for the Superbowl? Staying home, going to friends, making food,

We have a house and
who want a dog.  I'm not a cat fan and we can't have an outside dog b/c we live in a development (and I don't want a dog inside).  Rabbits are quiet and cute.  Thanks for the insight!!!
Get a job in house
Again you knew what you were getting into when you signed on.  Also some MT's in our hospitals do have to work holidays.  Some of it is covered by those that chose to "work at home" but again they knew this when they took the job with being able to "work at home."  
Well, not in my house!

Do they have a dog house?

I definitely agree that she should take the dog inside, but if she absolutely refuses maybe you could buy her a well-insulated doghouse so at least the animal will have some protection from the cold.  Animals have survived cold temperatures for years, but they need a place that shelters them from the cold, and she needs to provide that for them!!


I feel for you - vegetarian here :)  One of the big reasons I lost respect for my ex-best friend was the way she treated her animals.  She was always buying dogs and cats and then leaving them at the pound or pawning them off on people.  It really made me think less of her, because what kind of person does that! She also won't admit she did anything wrong!  arrrrgh! It drives me crazy when people don't take proper care of their animals.  They are a big responsibility - not just a cute puppy to show off when it's convenient.  I hope your daughter straightens up, but again, if she doesn't I highly recommend purchasing a good doghouse for the poor dog!


i want to eat at your house
I have a cookbook from LA Leche League - Whole Foods for the Whole Family.  many good recipes.  don't know if still available, bought 12 years ago.   Many ethnic recipes on-line to try.
Get him out of the house
This kid is angry at you. He is going behind you undoing everything you do. He wants your attention, even if it is negative.

He needs kids his own age - he may be a number to the day care people, but he'll be a real kid to the other kids and will make friends.

Get him into something you can afford, even if it is just the 2-hr a day program. It will work wonders for him and for you.

Good luck - let us know how it goes for you.

S/L you are carrying a huge load. Home schooling sounds great, but when you're working another job as well, it can break your back. Maybe you and the husband need to reassess how you are doing things. Do the home school classes when the DH is there to help out, or whatever takes the stress out of it for you.
Your cat looks like it ate the house!
Beautiful!
have them to your house? or -
talk to all about it, best policy. bet they understand - haven't they been there? they all might settle for a drive by later for coffee and desert for t-giving...or some other type of compromise.




That's every day at my house :)

Girls, has your hubby ever gotten you a "practical" gift that you did not appreciate?  This video will put a smile on your face!  Enjoy the lighthearted fun.

You just described my house

I chuckled reading your post. I have 9 - yes 9 - cats, three of whom are kittens in the range of 7 months old.  I got them all about a week apart and they're each about a month apart in age.  They are refugees from the neighbors really bad decisions.


Nothing in the house is safe any more.  All of my bigger plants are now in hooks on the ceiling - the smaller plants were already there.  It looks silly, but it works.  There is nothing left on any flat surface.  It cracks me up when they get going and chasing each other.   My house is very cat friendly at this point.  I made the choice to put the good furniture in storage for now and I have washable furniture.   There are cat beds everywhere.  My office shelving unit is more cat bed than it is storage and I have 2 beds on the desk beside my computer.


Yes, I am the crazy cat lady. 


This is always a hit at my house

Rotel tomatos


Velveeta cheese


taco-seasoned ground beef


Brown ground beef and add taco seasoning (as in making tacos). Melt Velveeta and Rotel in microwave; add meat mixture. I transfer to a crockpot to keep it hot.  Serve with corn chips. This recipe is made with 1 lb ground beef, 1 packet taco seasoning, 1 small can Rotel, and half of a big block of Velveeta. Of course, you can vary it to the amount you need to serve.

Love the show, but I missed it...what happened?????
Dr. House would say to see a
However, the suggestion to check out the truck/car for carbon monoxide exhaust is really intriguing. Does he get a headache while the wavy-thing is happening? CO poisoning also causes a killer-headache, I've heard.

I'd also look at what he's having for breakfast and what time he's eating it, in case there's possibly a blood sugar connection. When my blood sugar drops, all sorts of crazy symptoms start happening. Doing a glucometer, I'm always below 80 when that happens.

I really think the beer intake the night before is not relevant at all. Amusing though!
