:) Thanks! LOL--I wish you lived near me too...SM

We live in Nebraska.


My idea of shopping is Walmart, Target, and K-Mart.  It worked while my boys were young, but now that they're getting older I guess I'll hafta dig deeper in the pocketbook and shop at stores in the mall.  Thanks for the link! :)

I wish I lived
close enough to a beach to go every day, but then again, I probably would NEVER work!
You see, I have never lived by
myself.  I went straight from home, to the college dorm, to my grandma's for the summer, then I got married.  I never got to be on my own.  I think everybody should have that opportunity.  I think it would have changed me in lots of ways. 
In my day, no vaccine. We all got it. We all lived.
At least now he will be immune.  Hope you had hubby don't come down, too, but if so, it doesn't last forever.  Just keep him away from others while contagious.  And don't let him scratch!
When I lived in Colombia....
no one printed anything for me in English. Their country, their language, respect their ways. Those who come here should do the same - our country, our langauge, our ways. If you want to speak Spanish, go back across the border.

We speak English here precisely we were all originally from somewhere else.

The "We were all immigrants" argument is inane. Any country can say that. Mexicans were not originally from Mexico except for the Indians, who are extremely underprivileged and discriminated against by the Mexican government and the majority of Mexicans. Within the Latino culture, there is plenty of discrimination and prejudice - the lighter the skin and hair color, the higher the prestige. Latin American countries look down on the Caribbena and Mexico, etc.

Prejudice, stereotypes and discrimination are not just a white-black issue.

Why is that the Vietnamese and Koreans and other Asian groups come here, learn a new alphabet and many times will learn both Spanish and English in order to do business, but the Spanish speakers come here and demand everything be done to accommodate them?

It don't want to be Americans, they should stay home. If they want to adopt the American culture, come on over - legally.
hopefully this will be short-lived
I'd still send pictures, etc., especially to your grandparents. Good luck!
lived with us for a year.
by the time she moved out, no one would talk at the dinner table. my husband & I would go outside to talk. not good. hopefully your mil will be able to get some friends.
She has lived with us for 2-3/4 years so she...sm
knows all of the family line. We have been told that the judge that is finalizing the adoption spends a lot of time hanging out with a child that is old enough to talk with him at the time of adoption so she's looking forward to that. We've got the camera ready to go with a new battery and lots of memory on the memory card for the photos.

I have made an appointment to get her portrait made and the place we're doing that can create some adoption announcement cards for us with her picture and information on it to send out to people.

I like the tree idea - thanks for that one! Hopefully I could keep it growing! :o)
I grew up and lived in PA

until I made a few moves down south a few years back and moved to Ohio a year ago.  I am about 45 minutes now from my hometown in PA, but my hometown in PA is just 45 minutes away from Pittsburgh.  We could be close enough to be neighbors!


I wish I lived right next door to
help you with your project. That's my kind of fun. :oD I wuv a good rottie. Can't imagine playing with 3 of them.
How about: If I lived here, I'd be the cook!

Looks beautiful! WIsh I lived there. NM

Did your parents help? I lived on my own but (sm)
it was because my stepfather did not want me there.  I worked a full time and a part time job and tried to put myself through college.  It took me years just to get an associate degree.  If I had had help from my parents it would have been so much easier.  It was very difficult as an 18-year-old to earn enough money to take care of myself.
I wished you lived near me...sm
So that you could meet my big baby and get to know him. I promise you would say this is no pit bull. My mom was scared to death when I got him that he would grow up and be this mean vicious killer. Well now she loves him to death. My father-in-law was against us having a pit. Now he says he ain't nothing but a baby. Some may be mean. But I am telling you mine is not mean. UNLESS he feels threatened or his family is threatened. Just a while ago a friend of my husbands was over here and CJ was just head set on getting up in his lap. CJ weighs about 70 pounds and he thinks he can sit in your lap. Lots of people say he isn't a pit is he? I say yes but he is a nice pit. Some are mean, some are not. It depends on the dog and a lot of how it is raised. This dog has been babied like a child from the time I got him. When he was 3 months old I got him and routinely rocked him in my recliner. Now he is just this huge baby.
We lived 2 blocks away from each other
I knew him in high school. He was the 'much older' Senior and I the lowly Sophomore. I had a crush on him, we'd ride with a group of boys & girls to away football games & he was always very nice to me. My older brother and his older brother were in the same class & had been good friends for years.

DH graduated & then two weeks before my senior year was to start, my now BIL came over to our house, after he returned from the Marines, to see if my brother was home. He wasn't but we talked for a few minutes. Then furture BIL went back to his home and told DH....you need to call Renee.

The rest is history.

We dated during my senior year and we went to all the dances. It was a great year and I have a box full of silly bids from dances, pictures and fun times! That was some 42 years ago now...LOL.

when i lived in the south, they said
i had a 'northern' accent. I'm born/raised Californian. When we moved to midwest, teased kids for having southern accent. however, when my husband used to work all over the country 40 yr ago, he could tell almost exactly where someone was from, hearing them talk a bit. With all the travel/moving around now, accents are there, but not nearly as identifiable, and ofttimes a mixture ...
never lived there but visited.
I love it. So jealous of you. Good luck!!
I lived there and HATED it!
There is nothing to do in North Carolina. The BIG event in Raleigh is the weekly Farmer's Market. The lakes are ugly, manmade bowl-like things. The police are out of control in that part of the country.

You could not PAY me to live in North Carolina again. At least not near Raleigh. Charlotte and the Mountain area are nice, but for the middle of the state? YUCK!!!
Twice so far in 11 years we have lived here - sm
Once when I lived at home years ago, boss got me out. I was excused the two times here as my kids were little and still at home, and no babysitter. My husband got called a few months ago, first time, no clue what he did with the papers or exactly what they said, I think he just blew it off, but no one has ever come to get him if that was the case.
The man who lived across the street.
We lived in cul-de-sac of 10 homes. The whole neighborhood knew each other. This man thought he was the boss of everyone, told everyone how to raise their kids, keep their yards, take care of their pets. He was physically and verbally abusive to his wife and kids. He was absolutely awful.

Someone called me one day to say that man had liver cancer and had less than 6 months to live. I thought couldn't have happened to a nicer person. He died on New Year's Day 2004 and as we watched the ambulance leave his house with his body in it, everyone (including his family) gave a sigh of relief. Only 6 people attended the funeral. Isn't it horrible to think that way about someone? He was only 52.
When I lived in S. Florida, I heard ..sm
I thought that sort of thing is illegal in this country?

No she won't - as long as she lived there for 2 years -sm
single you get $250,000 tax exempt, above that CG applies, if married it is $500,000. That tax law has been changed for a while now.
I have lived in the area for over 40 years
and I know exactly where this is and I drive the freeways all the time, including the HOV (which is a lane for more than 1 person in a vehicle to use or a motorcycle driver). The lanes are to the left-hand side of the others and the bus driver apparently took the wrong lane. Ther are 2 there that run side by side, 1 goes straight on thru Atlanta and the 1 he took is the exit lane and apparently exiting at a high rate of speed (i.e. your average speed on the freeways) he was totally unable to make the stop at the top of the freeway. There are 2 lanes there, 1 directly ahead and the 1 he took has a stop sign at the top for a turn either right or left. So unfortunate for these people and our hearts have gone out to them.
Best City You've Ever Lived In
Milwaukee, WI... HANDS DOWN! Love the people, love the city, wish I could move back.

I've move a lot in my lfe- anyone else who has moved a lot who has a fave city?
I have lived in Wyoming all my life .....
It is definately West!! We have it all, flats, mountains, snow in summer, it has snowed here on the 4th of July!! If you are going to Yellowstone, chances are you will see snow in some places...not alot, but some. Jackson, in the mountains, and in the Big Horn mountains around Sheridan should still have some, depending on how late in the summer you come. We have a little of everything and lots of space to breath! I would not want to live anywhere else!! Welcome..I hope you enjoy your visit!!
When I lived on a farm back in the day...
One night my girls (little then) and I were coming home after work and we came down the hill and the headlights illuminated many, many dead cats, at least 40.  It was so traumatic.  The girls were screaming and crying, it was awful.  And it was also a black lab that was the culprit.  What a horrible sight that was.  I'll never forget it. 
Allergies possible? I lived at the dermatologist - sm
for a couple years, would get this horrible rash on my neck, hurt, oozed, itched, totally sucked. Dr. suggested I do my own allergy testing at home. I put a spot of shampoo, my ferret's hair, body soap, clothes detergent, etc. under seperate band-aids on inside of my forearm and left them on untouched and dry for 48 hours then removed. I had a horrible red rash/reaction to my shampoo. (was also allergic to 1 of my ferrets, the one that still had its musk glands. So I stopped using that brand of shampoo and it cleared right up. Happened again a few years later and switched shampoos again with complete resolution of the rash. Luckily it has not happened since. So it could be as simple as exposure to something he uses every day or on frequent basis, you just need to figure out what. My DH became allergic to Tide about 10 years ago after they changed their Bleach Alternative formula, got a rash all over his body from it, obviously we don't use that brand anymore. Good luck.
Lived in it for years and loved it. (sm)
Low payment.  I think the plus with a mobile home as opposed to a condo or an apartment is pets.  A lot of them allow a fenced in yard - at least here some of them do.
Lived right at the beach before, hated it

You are such a crackup! I wish you lived next-door..... nm

Once I lived near some storage units

So a friend and I rented a storage unit for the month, took all our stuff there, made up signs, and set them out by the corner when and if we were ready to sell.  It was definitely worth the rent on the unit.  When we weren't in the mood to sell, the stuff stayed locked up and dry and didn't have to be handled again and again.


I guess the same way we lived with the thought that the

Are you saying this 16-year-old lived at home with this guy?
If this is the case, the mother should be charged with child abuse. I have not heard this and if so I am shocked that a mother would allow this.
I have never lived or been to Alaska but I hope to one day. . sm
It looks so beautiful. I have an aunt who goes to the rural areas and teaches bible camp every year. She takes the most beautiful pictures. A couple of years ago, there was a Bigfoot sighting in the area she was visiting. LOL. One of my favorite books is "Alaska" by James Michener. It is a fictional book but it goes into many different aspects of Alaska from the prehistoric age to present. It is very entertaining. Some day I hope to get there! Good luck to you!
Lived and traveled all over the world - sm
If you want stunning beauty at every turn I would pick Hawaii hands down.  It exceeded my expectations, which is pretty hard to do because I have done and seen a lot.  There is a lot to see and do, which varies wildly from island to island.  If you want interesting things to explore, food and beer that are fantastic beyond belief, and people who love to share their country with you I would pick Germany.  I lived there for 5 years and went back to visit 2 years ago.  A beautiful and magical place for my husband and me.  Unless you like rain, snow, and being chilly go there in the summer or fall.  Best of luck in wherever you decide to go! 
Look at it from their point of view. You have lived there 20 sm
years and may live there another 20 - they want to update. You don't have a lease - you are month-to-month and although you have been an ideal tenant - it is their property and they cannot do their renovations with you in there. I would try to rent another unit in the building if possible - but not sure you have any legal right to stay there - but hoping for your sake I am wrong!!
I lost a child, and lived through it ...

I never thought I could survive losing a child.  But, with the help of many many great family and friends, I have done it.  And I know he is in the safest and most loving place .... and someday I will see him again.  That will be a good day!  Until then, I'll keep loving my children still here, and my wonderful DH, and just think of him as being on a long, long, long trip ...


The way I see it (and lived it) the biological parent
needs to step up to the plate and handle things. I'm sure of the woman who started this post had a husband that backed her up, she wouldn't be nearly as upset. I'VE LIVED/AM LIVING THROUGH THIS and my stepchild live with us 100% of the time (husband had custody). Sweet and first but things turned sour quickly. And guess what? My husband did very little in terms of taking care of his son, forcing him to be accountable for his behavior, etc. In turn, I ended up being the heavy and HATED for it (still am, and he's an adult now).

I was very young when I married my husband and didn't know what I was in for, just as the OP. You think, how can this sweet child be anything but good? You honestly have no idea what you're getting yourself into. Especially when other people will tell you that they CAN make step-families work. I think they work when/if the biological parent is firm with the child and sets the boundaries for that child, and the stepparent doesn't have to.

It's so difficult. I really feel for the orig poster.
I've lived it, both sides and it goes both
I've been on both sides and I have seen stepchildren thrown in the middle, guilty parents on both sides. I have seen the new single mom (now married mom) want her husband all for herself and act SHOCKED when she realizes she can't have him all for herself...it's not always a fairytale ending. It does sound like the child is playing her and it's obvious why, but I witnessed first hand a grown woman manipulate her stepchildren and husband, until she had both turned against her. Instead of expecting all the attention, perhaps your time would be better spent with your stepson NOT expecting anything from your husband, since you're not getting it, it sounds but instead, go out of your way to give him attention. Take him somewhere just the two of you and eat at his favorite fast food place, go to the zoo, something without dad. When he has to depend on just you and dad isn't there for comparison and pity, you might see an improvement for the better.
I don't know about unusual, but I have the cutest dog that ever lived! SM

Unless everybody in town knows everything about you and all your personal business...(I live in a large city and would be mortified to receive anything like this), hire a private investigator.
I found it for you, have known because my mother did exactly this and lived out her old age
in her own home, hello! From 3 different sites...

Reverse Mortgage - A loan that enables elderly homeowners, to use their home’s equity without selling their home or moving from it. A lending institution makes a check out to the homeowners each month. This payment is really a loan against the value of a home. Because the payment is a loan, it’s tax-free when the homeowners receive it. These loans are non-recourse.

• reverse mortgage - essentially a home owner signs over the ownership of the real estate to the lender in return for a stream of payments
Reverse Mortgage – Money borrowed by senior citizens using their home as collateral. This loan has to be repaid from the proceeds of the estate when the owner dies.

If it worked for my mother, then is ok with me.

I have lived in the south all my life and....sm
I have never heard of wet nuts. What the world? I do like me some crawfish though.
I am 50 years old, lived in 1 city until
I was 24, lived in another for 7 years, and now in current place for 19 years and have NEVER been called.
I've lived in Houston my whole life and I
love it. I like living in the city, although we actually live in the burbs, but close enough! I've never been to NY, but really want to go myself.
I lived with dark green paneling for almost 20 yrs in the
living room then finally took the plunge.  It took a coat of primer and 2 coats of the light colored paint I wanted, but it was so worth it.  I took before, during and after pictures and the difference it made is unbelievable.
I met my husband at the appartment complex we lived in.

I thought he was cute but was too shy to do anything about it so a neighbor put a few good words in for me and he came over to my appartment, we talked for a while and then he asked me out for a date.  


Maybe get involved in community activities, take courses you are interested in or just do like I did, keep your eyes opened. 


I read it nowhere - I lived life in many big cities

where they will most definitely confirm, most girls do not report rapes.........in the big urban communities..........and even in small-town America.


RU a parent?  *curious question only*


great post but Koreans have lived in/around USA

And he did attend Korean schools in his most formative years, kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades.  I know plenty of Korean people for decades in this country (good people)....they were some of the first Asians in the modern era to come here, no? 


A very sad situation for all involved..........but speaks tomes once again at what is happening in the USA with guns.  I still don't understand how he was able to buy a gun when he was in a mental place for 2 days in 2005 for *stalking* and the gun shop evidently did a background check on him, so why didn't this admission to some mental facility pop up?  *very_curious_indeed*


 


If you lived in the huge city where I live what you said
might make a difference in whether you lived or not. On a daily basis, people are shot and killed here for less than asking what a teenager was saying and I am not talking about 1 death, talking 3-4 a day. We just had a child killed here when a young kid (male) got upset with the a neighborhood family, went home got a gun, sprayed the home and killed a 2 year old child in his mothers arms. If you wanted to approach the parents, a lot of people only take up for their children and think you are in the wrong for approaching them! I have grown children and of course taught them right from wrong but I am not into trying to kill myself by responding to a small aleck kid. You can ignore and then again if you would like to come here and do that, give them your life. Your choice. You cannot change every smartie kid you might run into- and then you might not have to change anyone for long… I say just ignore. I have got more sense than to get myself killed over nothing.
If you have lived in the house for 2 of the past 5 years - sm
as your primary residence then as a single person you would pay gains on anything over the profit of $250,000; if married, then it is $500,000. If you have not lived in it for at least 2 years (of the past 5) then I think it is something like 18%. Go to the IRS site, they can tell you for sure, but they changed this several years ago so it is not so bad as it used to be.
