I've noticed this too but it's not just

I am amazed at how many women my age do not sew, mend, cook or clean. They hire everything out to be done for them. I don't get it. I do a lot of these things for the satisfaction of saving money and keeping a nice home. Am I just weird?

I've noticed that in many...
tv shows too, even when they are speaking the drug name they say it wrong. I lmao. But I think they have to unless they have the manufacturers permission to use it or else they could get sued. But it's still like an inside joke to me whenever I hear/see it.
I've noticed
that the gab board is quiet today. Everybody working hard or what?
I've noticed the rising costs of groceries lately
I believe the cost is partly to blame for the obesity in this nation. It is so much more expensive to try to eat healthier. I can make pizza for my husband and 3 kids for under $10. Yet, when we have chicken, potatoes, a vegetable and bread -- it's closer to $20. Of course when I serve the "full course" meal, my kids expect dessert, too. Is there no end?
I actually found myself stocking up last week on eggs because they were on sale and I knew I'd be making deviled eggs for T-day. I bought 6 dozen eggs. I have never bought that many eggs at once before in my life. But I saved 75 cents a dozen.
Yes - I have noticed this too
As I recorded the show last night on DVR cause I was working, and I watched that whole 2 hours of nonsense and didn't even get to see who won because it ran over and my DVR stopped recording. Had to find out who won on the internet this morning.
This is what I have noticed.
People who say they hate cats are usually controlling people by nature and don't like the independent nature of a cat. They prefer dogs as they can control them. That's what I see.
I have noticed the same.
My whites being dingy. I do not buy cheap detergent but I do not buy the most expensive either. I am a bit limited because of allergies though. I usually end up using bleach after a while because I do not know what else to do. I recently purchased Tide to see if it would help because I had a good coupon but I really do not see a difference with that. I would appreciate suggestions of others too! :)
I noticed that too
to burn him at the stake. Now, it is like he is some sort of God. LOL.
As far as doing transcription, I would think they would enter the hospital under an assumed name. I know at the hospital I worked at people would come in under a different name if they didn't want to be found by a gang member, abusive husband of whatever.

Noticed your plus-size??
I hate to be the one to tell you but the average size now in the states is a 14. I in no way consider that plus. Oh, to be a 14 again. See shoulda checked before hand- now that is not politically correct because it makes us hefty girls feel sad!
Only noticed 1 time-
My big furkid went to get his "haircut." He had gotten mats all over him and long haired. They sissified him, powered him up with stinky stuff and put this little decoration around his neck. He had enough, and he was lifting his legs high and walking backwards. I took his kerchief off and he is much better now.
Haven't noticed anything like that here
And I live only a few miles from Oklahoma City, which is Sonic HQ.
I for one have noticed pain when I sit with my leg
was better. Then last week I caught myself doing it again and now pain is back. I also have had less problems since loosing 50 pounds (more to go).
Exercises also will help. The more exercising I do, the more I can sit for longer periods.
I have noticed the British
xx
Did you noticed all the AI candidates are sm
very outspoken this year. They seem to tell the judges why they did certain things certain ways and why they won't change it. In the past the candidates were pretty timid.
one thing I noticed is now we are
starting to see similarities because for the first time we are developing pictorial references and can see some of our ancestors. I have a pic of my grandfather as a young boy and my nephew was almost the spitting image of him. My uncle was almost a dead ringer for his grandfather whom none of us ever knew because he died young. Before 1900, most everyday people never had images of themselves made, and only a few had it done for deceased as it would be the only one ever made. You are right, it is fascinating. Just think, they all had their own stories.
i think the doctor has to have noticed.
and i would certainly switch care providers, because in my opinion, his priorities cannot be right if this gets by him.
I have very much noticed and commented on this
some time ago. Why otherwise females would want to have their rolls showing under the tops is puzzling to me. I am heavy and I never wear anything that emphasizes the fat rolls. I don’t wear the real oversized tops either but I don’t like for the upper arms to wave so usually do longer or 3/4th sleeves. I guess the females out there just really do not care what others think. I wonder if any have full length mirrors on just do not care what others think or them. Ugly is a word that comes to mind.
Have you noticed how her mother never has tears?
She has pretended to cry, dabbing a tissue under her eyes but there are absolutely no tears. Her mother is just PO'd she isn't getting the baby's inheritance and that's the only thing she's upset about.
What I noticed, not the artificial leg movement but
even her upper arm movements were so stiff, like a robot. Not only is she unpopular with most in real life, do not see her staying long on this dancing program.
Yeah and have you noticed all of those who tell us to LEAVE
have absolutely NO suggestions for us? Just leave! I bet these same women had mothers or friends or someone to actually HELP them out. If I were to leave my husband on my 18,000 a year salary and 3 kids - it would be a lot more miserable than him not listening to me when I speak.
Ever noticed how much dogs communicate? LOL!
 I have a 14 year old Dachsund who was just barking to go outside, and I usually say, "wanna go out?" and he runs for the door, but I accidentally said, "you ready to go?" and he got a very serious and excited look on his face because he thought we were going somewhere. I tried to explain to him that we were not going anywhere and I kept saying, "wanna go out" but he heard what he heard and he is ready to go!! LOL
Have you noticed that anytime 1 of the performers
decides to go on the offensive as Scott did when he said he was satisfied with his performance and thought good (as did Megan) and others, the voters out there just do not seem to like it and they are voted off really soon? Now when Lil was getting a bad evaluation the other night, she was not standing there saying she was satisfied and that was that and she stayed and Scott went. I really think people pay close attention to that and it does not pay for the contestants who want to do their own thing their own way. Just does not work out well for them. I did not see Adam the other night but saw Danny and as usual thought very good. I think it is going to be a guys only when all said and done.
Has anyone noticed their hair shedding more right now. My seems to be coming out more. nm
:
I noticed them in the scene where they found the other hatch
And I wondered what they were doing there, especially when they weren't really featured very much on subsequent episodes.
If the entire purpose of that episode was just to give us background on Ben's plan to coerce Jack into operating on him, that's old news. Sure, Nikki and Paolo are nice to look at, but having an entire show about them was a waste of time IMO - unless they have some unforeseen influence on an upcoming event, which would mean that they would have to be rescued SOON.
It's a shame, so far I have enjoyed ever episode of the second half of this season, each more than the last, until now......
Why is that about the male child? I have noticed that in my own family
Great advice by the way on the journal. There are so many things in this life that we cannot comprehend "in the thick of it", but later become crystal clear.
Boy I sure did YESTERDAY! Just signed on this a.m., haven't noticed yet. nm

Has anyone else noticed food prices going SKY HIGH???
Seems like everything is outrageous anymore!!
Ah, noticed what you posted "peanutbutter" and "to die for"
right now that does not sound too good in the same sentence. Another person died again yesterday from the peanut butter salmonella.
Just noticed my daughter has blisters all over palms of hands..sm
some look as if they have blood under them, as they are a brownish color. She has one on her foot also. nothing in mouth or anywhere else. She said she noticed them this morning, but just now showed me after swimming this afternoon. she says they hurt to touch? Any ideas?? I hate to run to ER if nothing that cant wait until tomorrow when doc is in. TIA
P.S. I have ink in the cartridge and I have noticed that if it sits between printing pages then are
okay but if you run a lot at once they get really light after the first one.
Got a computer question. I have a mouse with a wheel on top but what I have noticed lately is the
screen you are typing on will sometimes keep rolling down by itself. Is this a mouse problem or computer problem. It just keeps moving down by itself.
Not intending to be racist, but have noticed in our area Sonic Drive Ins (sm)
are now being purchased by Indians and immediately all the poles around the building are being painted green. This is not one but 3 different ones in 3 different towns that I have noticed. I suppose the green signifies something. We live in a relatively small town and now the only motel in town is owned by Indians, 1 of our 4 gas stations/convenience stores is also owned by Indians. Now the Sonic, which is one of 3 drive through restaurants.
Eventually we won't have to worry about our MT working going to India, they can just do it from right here.
My mom noticed this when she started glaucoma meds a couple years ago - sm
Her lashes are so long now that they actually hit the inside of her glasses lenses! Amazing.
How long have you noticed your hard drives lasts when you are on the computer 24/7. My computer is
doing odd things and it looked like the hard drive is getting bad. It is about 2-1/2 years old. Actually the whole computer is about 2-1/2 years old.
If you've got one, you've got bunches!
How do ya feel about cats? That's what I'd do...get a cat...but I love cats and love it when they bring me 'presents' of dead varmints.
If that's not an option, and you're not comfortable with baiting, glue traps, or that sort of thing, it'd be worth it to hire a professional 'cridder ridder' or exterminator. Those things will chew up your walls and floorboards like you have no idea and cause incredible amounts of damage. Good luck in your jihad!
I've done this 12 yrs and I've had to take breaks sm
Took a break and worked at my kids preschool one year, worked at a hospital one year, took a couple months off once. It does burn you out because it takes all of your concentration. When I worked at the hospital as a secretary I could not believe how easy the job was ;-) I was sooo used to just getting paid for actual work that when I had a conversation with a coworker or a phone call or took lunch, I felt like I was getting away with a lot! I hope your break works out!! I wish you lived close-by, we could take turns watching each others kids ;-)
I've been using...
Zicam severe congestion. It gives me temporary relief and I've been taking Singulair, but originally nasal discharge was clear, this morning it was yellow (don't mean to gross anybody out). Could it have turned into a sinus infection? And if so, is it time to see the doctor??
I've tried that...
I've done that along with changing my diet but still no relief. I just received an e-mail saying to try vitamin E which is what I am going to try next.
Thanks a bunch.....
I will try that too, I've had enough of this...sm
where to I go to do this, remove IE7 and reinstall IE6.
TIA
oh yea, we've been through that one . . SM
My husband is the type of person that avoids conflict, does not want to face it, because if you pretend it's not there, it isn't, right???? Yea. He was in counseling for a while, but never went back after a few times. He really felt like last night was a punch in the face, like it's a game or something . . . like if you look the part, you ARE the part.
I've been there...
Hang in there...
I have one, but I've only had it for a day
I definitely can't do more than a minute on it, as it REALLY targets my inner thighs. I can really feel it working already, but I don't know what the benefit is going to be to everything it states, i.e. thighs, abs, back. I did a lot of research before I bought it and the only negatives I found were about ordering it through the company's website. So, I ordered it through QVC and saved a lot of money. Plus I received it only 3 days after I ordered it with no extra shipping charge.
A few I've seen....
The Wedding Date
Must Love Dogs
In Her Shoes
The Family Stone
In Good Company
What's the most you've ever won? sm
How did you win it?
I've with you on that! --nm
nm
LOL, I've seen some of those!
I admit it, I must be a pervert 'cause I think it's hysterical.
I've been on it
now going on 3 weeks and love it. I never use up my points and am always full. Best thing is you can still eat the foods you love. I only purchased the starter kit and did not join. I feel better and have lost weight and best of all I'm never hungry. But, like everything else, 1 diet doesn't fit all. I've tried Nutrisystem, Adkins,Right Size Smoothies, and Medifast and they didn't work for me. So far WW has worked. Also, you don't have to give up the "cool ones" on this plan.
me too - I've been doing this for over 9 (sm)
Same problem, and it doesn't go away overnight. Mostly my right (pedal) foot. Is yours?
I think I've seen something like this
But can't remember which one...a bride having her bridesmaids sign a contract, yeah right...I'd tell her exactly where she could put all her demands...geez!
We've actually done that (sm)
There is, unfortunately, an "out", meaning that if they have ever been invited to call (We refi'd our house and had been calling mortgage brokers, etc) they are exempt from the list, at least in New York. So it could be a brokerage or something trying to drum up business (not my problem)but all I have is an 866 number to go by, no name on the caller-ID. I wonder if you can get them back on the list after your business is finished.
I've been there
I understand. For 17 years I dealt with this, always feeling like I was never doing enough, if only I could do more then maybe.... I became very ill myself because of it. I had no life of my own, -- I lived for the next crisis, just like you -- and no one could understand, not even my doctor. I didn't find peace until I took the burden off my shoulders and put it on His--until I realized I had a responsibililty to God for my own life and I was losing my life, my freedom to find His Will for me and do it, to someone else's addiction. In this case, it was my mothers's. She was there night and day as well, no escaping. I gave up my outside job and worked from home too. I finally had to move in order to remain sane and THEN other family members had to start doing their share of helping out while I tried to regain some sense of self. It wasn't until then that she even got a clue that I had a right to my own life.
Your daughter, loved though she be, is robbing you of your life. That is not right. But I don't know of a stronger bond than that between a mother and a daughter no matter what problem may arise. One can never really walk away, forget it, etc. like so many will tell you to do. Inside, that bond lives strong. All you can do is find a way to deal with it, a way that is fair to you, healthy for you, a way that will keep you strong or else she will take you down with her.
For me, it was distancing myself physically and praying for her. I realized for all my love of her, only He could make the changes in her, and He did once I acknowledged how true the words are, "Without Me, you can do nothing." Now I pray for and expect miracles if it so be His Will when I have problems I cannot resolve. It brings great peace and strength -- and HOPE because I've seen first-hand how prayer made with faith truly does bring them and I don't feel like I am carrying the burden all by myself anymore and then I accept whatever He lets happen, realizing He in His wisdom knows more than I.
Talk to a therapist -- tell them what you've just written here. Again, they might have access to resources you don't know about. If their advice sounds harsh, and it probably will, listen anyway. Consider it. Your life DOES matter too. But don't ever lose hope in God. Ask for the strength and courage to do what must be done for the sake of the both of you and grace for her to change. Nothing is impossible for Him to do. Nothing.
