In Reply to: Because my biological child is a high school science teacher who - works hard. Sheesh.
if it were your biological child doing the bad things, would you have the same response? Hypothetically, if your daughter was selling drugs or making good money without being generous, would you still be having the dilemma about giving gifts? I am not implying that your daughter is a bad person, just that if the shoe were on the other foot, would it be handled the same way.

Everyone's over there bashing people
that are over here. Talking about being banned for just *tellin' it like it is*. Yeah, not to mention posting abusive rude comments continually...like they wouldn't have been banned with the previous owner. Ugh. Hopefully the rude ones will go over there..though I doubt it because you really have to register to get on that one now. The rude anonymousness is kind of gone.
No bashing from me....good work. :)

let the bashing begin I guess..... -sm
You are the one who brought up hair....."Would you want someone to force you to be throwing up every half hour and lose your hair???".....direct quote. You presumption is plain ridiculous. I could give a dammmmnnnnn about her hair. Yes it is nice it came back as good as it did, and I have talked to plenty of mom's at the clinic as that is one of their concerns as well, dummbb thing to worry about, but probably more of a defense/denial mechanism I think for all of us who have had kids in this situation, and it is hard for any child to deal with, believe me whe was very self-conscious at times about it. But as I said if her losing her hair was the worst thing to happen I could care less, I was being realistic. Yes, I feel bad for the lady below, not all children live no matter what type of treatment is used, it is a fact of life. I just believe you have a better chance with proven clinical protocols, not natural remedies. I am sure had I refused the chemo all helllll would have broken loose too, but I knew from my work it was a tried and true method and trusted her doctors. A lot depends on the type of cancer and the stage. My daughter is one of the lucky ones, it was caught early and was favorable (another week or two and it would probably been a very different outcome as she had a very aggressive fast growing tumor) and I am thankful for that but also have compassion and feelings for those whose children don't make it. The first thing they gave me when she was diagnosed was this book on childhood cancers, you want to cry your eyes out, read that, it is not all about happy endings. Between my two kids I been in and out of hospitals since 2000, I have seen a lot of good and bad in those years. I volunteer with the local organization at the hospital as much as I can, donate/raise funs for it and Make-A-Wish too. I have been around enough cancer for ten lifetimes between 4 family members and my own child. Chemo helped all but one who had lung cancer and refused to quit smoking after her diagnosis. My dad and FIL are both cancer-free now, one is 9 years out, the other 4-years out now. My SIL's mom came back from pancreatic cancer and has been cancer-free now for 3 yaers, they all told her she was a goner, chemo saved her life. It is a miracle she is even alive. My great-aunt with the lung cancer died the night she was given the results of her evaluation after her chemo was completed, which obviosly did not work for her. I have another friend with inoperable lung cancer, just had radiation and now going into chemo. He has a very good prognosis by some miracle. He still has not stopped smoking but 1 cig a day compared to the 4 packs a day is a pretty good improvement. He is trying to quit that and I am sure soon will. I doubt he will be "cured" but at least he may get a few more years to live. Not all of us are ready to give up at 13. I know chemo works, again more than it fails. Some natural approachs may "work" for a time but they do not cure either and there is nothing to back them up. If the kid was 16, 17 or 18 and chose not to do chemo that is his preogative I would say, but at 13 a child, especially a boy, cannot comprehend the chance he is taking, and undoubtly will die. Yes a miracle could happen, but again that is why they are called miracles, they don't happen very often. ---I have said all I will say on this, bash away, stick a fork in me as I am done.
Sick of the stereotyping... Not bashing just venting a little
I am the VERY PROUD mother of a well rounded well behaved 16 yo daughter. She doesnt make all A's but she does well. She has more worked more community service hours in the last year (as well as the past five) than any one we know of. BUT she is given hades by teachers, parents, and just about anyone who does not know her because they can tell just by looking at her that she is TROUBLE. The judge her because she wears gauges (ears only) likes baggy jeans (always wears a belt) and band T-shirts (usually black) and big hoodies or jackets- very similar to the boys in the pic. People are SOOO JUDGEMENTAL her friends have to sneak to be around her because their parents think she is a bad influence yeah my non-drinking non smoking baby girl who was home on prom night by 1030 because the "other kids were getting crazy".
Please before you judge kids think about how you would want others to treat your child. To quote my daughter " I am an individual! Not some mindless twit that just follows to belong!". So just try and remember how you would like your child/teen to be treated before you judge/react to someelses child.
Take care and have a MERRY X-MAS and dont forget to hug your teen.
Aw, c'mon! We're all having fun bashing rug-rats!
Simply tell them this -
I do think it is rude of them to ask such a personal question. If they ask, tell them the opportunity has not presented itself yet and leave it at that and smile sweetly. :-)

I am not denying access to my house...my son is not banned from my house....I just do not see the need for anyone who is not living fulltime in a residence.....my house, your house, sister's house or whatever....People on here keep saying I'm yelling and screaming because I capitalized a couple of words.....
I simply wash most of them in the
I turn them upsidedown and swish them in a couple of inches of water. Let the water out of the tub and just let them lay there and drain OR set them outside in the sun to dry. Be careful if it is windy!
This is simply too funny!
Thanks for the confession!
I know you are right. That is what scares me now. I simply SM
don't care about myself at all anymore. I have been lost in the process of just trying to keep afloat. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with me.
My point was simply....
don't judge someone else when you have walked in their shoes. Your posts about the daughter you don't want in your life are pretty nasty and sounds like you are regretting that one. Yes using abortion as birth control is dysfunctional. Quit being so hateful!!!!!!
Simply don't let the other dog eat the others food. sm
I have a pup (2 years) and a senior (15 years). Obviously the pup eats a lot quicker and has the appetite to sharf his down. You need to start off letting your dog know that rewards come from proper behavior. They sit politely for their food and eat when you release them. They absolutely do not eat from the other dogs bowl EVER. Eventually they learn, this is mine and I eat this and not the other. The other dog learns the same. YOU have control over all of the dogs resources and stick with it. If you haven't been training then start with some basics like leave it and release for their own food and leave it for the other dogs food. Look up NILIF on Google and it really helps with harmony in any household with dogs, especially with multi-dog households. NILIF does not have to be harsh and can be used to have lots of fun. Believe me, my dogs are as spoiled as any, but they follow the rules and have fun doing it.

He gave it a good try and simply does not like it. ALso, SM
the thought of the bugs and spiders makes my skin crawl, and I am not a young child. I say encourage the other avenues of his interest and don't force him to do something that brings him to tears after he has given it a reasonable amount of time.
I was simply answering the above post
which said they thought a person who only paid taxes should get a refund. I don't have a grudge against a person getting a refund. This is not what the post was about. My aunt has not worked in years and years and I know she does not pay taxes, has not for years and she got a refund. Goody for her! Oh, as far as getting lots back on SS. When I start mine later on in Sept I will be getting almost 2000 a month so that is not too bad. Oh, another thing, my aunt has lived on her SS for a long time now. It really depends on where you live, your lifestyle, how you spend but she did and hers is nothing like what I will draw.
I read it, but I simply refuse to believe it
One in seven people believe it is acceptable in some circumstances for a man to hit his wife or girlfriend if she is dressed in “sexy or revealing clothes in public”, according to the findings of a survey released today.
A similar number believed that it was all right for a man to slap his wife or girlfriend if she is “nagging or constantly moaning at him”.
The findings of the poll, conducted for the Home Office, also disclosed about a quarter of people believe that wearing sexy or revealing clothing should lead to a woman being held partly responsible for being raped or sexually assaulted.
Although a majority of 1,065 people over 18 questioned last month believe that it is never acceptable to hit or slap a woman, the poll found that those aged 25-39 were more likely to consider that there were circumstances in which it was acceptable to hit or slap a woman.
Men and women over 65 and those in the lower social class groups D and E are more likely to believe that woman should be held partly responsible for being raped or sexually assaulted, Ipsos Mori telephone poll found.
Jacqui Smith, the Home Secretary, said: “Violence against women and girls is unacceptable in any form no matter what the circumstances are.”
Ms Smith said that more needed to be done to challenge attitudes that condoned violence against women and girls.
She was speaking as she launched a police lead review of whether new laws are needed to tackle serial domestic violence abuses and whether there is a link between the early sexualisation of young girls and violent abuse.
One idea being considered is to allow women to ask police if a new partner has a record of domestic violence. A pilot scheme that allows women to request information on whether a new partner has a history of child sex abuse is currently underway in four police force areas of England and Wales.
But MS Smith was confronted at a working breakfast at which she launched the campaign by a veteran domestic violence campaigner.
Sandra Horley, chief executive of Refuge, accused Ms Smith over breakfast at the Cinnamon Club in Westminster of using “gimmicks” and “spin”.
She said that government action so far had been “piecemeal” and condemned plans for a database of serial domestic abusers.
Ms Horley said: “We have had enough talking – we need action. As for the perpetrators’ register, it is a gimmick and doesn’t address the root problem.
“The majority of violent men don’t come to the attention of police and it won’t keep women safe.
“Police can’t be expected to monitor relationships and love lives of offenders.”
She went on: ”The Government is hoping to get away with useless initiatives like this register and it is hypocritical to sound tough and do little.”
She said that the cases of Sabina Akhtar and Katie Summers showed that not enough was being done.
Ms Smith tried to interrupt the tirade but was shouted down before Vera Baird, the solicitor general, stepped in to argue the Government’s case.

I just wanted to tell you if you never got the Love and Theft CD you simply sm

The family practitioner I worked for simply snipped...
skin tags off without local, as the injections caused just as much pain, if not more, than the quick snip. These were small skin tags though and the scissors were super sharp surgical scissors, not like the kind found in a kitchen junk drawer ;-)
Depends on your pain threshold and how squeamish you are about things like these I guess. Couldn't hurt to numb the area with ice or even Anbesol first.
simply make up an excuse of having other plans and override her boldness

My sister opened my eyes the other week and simply stated SM
that most of the people pulling this country down have children, sometimes lots of them. These kids have no guidance and only know what they see. Unfortunately, a lot of them grow up like mom and dad, thinking they don't have to work, they can take what they want from others, and they can just generally be an annoyance to everyone around them. Thank God for school teachers who are there to provide guidance and structure for a lot of these kids. Sometimes it is the only place they find it.
This was simply an honest post/poll made by a regular poster.
