I don't think he is spoiled by any means..sm

he just likes natural food. There is nothing wrong with that. If it was my kitty though, and this is not meant to be judgemental so please don't take it that way, I would probably delay the vacation until the kitty was a little older. But that's just me.

spoiled kids maybe
I have a 16 year old, am single mom and she is only child, she hopefully has learned some lessons along the way because I have tried to instill values in her - she comes home talking about the 300-400 Ipods the kids at school have and I think to myself - how are they going to survive in the real world if they get things like this as teenagers - they are not going to have a clue how to manage money, these kids are even buying expensive gifts for each other at school, I feel sorry for them when they get out in the real world and have to start paying for everything themselves, unfortunately the real meaning of Christmas has evidently gone the wayside and most kids think it is just a time to get real cool presents.
Spoiled, yes, I see nothing wrong with that
If others went through the years of abuse, cheating, broken arm, just nightmarish trouble in life, to be spoiled now, hey I will take that. I am pushing 70 and it is about time in my life to be spoiled. (By the way, this happened in my life before this child was born, in case you think she saw this, she didn’t.)
Extreme spoiled brattinitis
so he says, love it
And then some husbands have their wife spoiled
and give them any and every thing their little heart desires and I am one of those lucky ones. By the way, I don’t even have to cook- he does all that. I am spoiled rotten and loving it.
How about a spoiled rotten 40-year-old
Amazon Parrot?  She is so beautiful and knows it!  She has a bright yellow head and talks to the dogs, and all the dogs we have had prior to this one.  About 3 years ago I bought her one of those parrots that will talk back and flap its wings and repeats everything you say.  She loves BIRDIE so much that I tried to pick it up (have to admit was teasing her with it and kissing it) and she got so jealous she bit my leather jacket and made a hole in it!    So much for the jacket, but I love my Morry.  We thought she was a boy so we named her Morris, then we were told she was a female. . . I switched her name to Morrisa, i.e. Morry.  Wish you could meet her.  She is just darling and spoiled and rotten and . . . . . . . .
Sadly, though, many ARE that wasteful and spoiled by their luxuries. sm
As MTs, I think we fall into a rather frugal subset of the population, perhaps both because we aren't in the higher income brackets (though, having said that, I'm expecting some s******s to chime in that he/she is making $100K a year and only working part time because her left thumb alone can do 300 lph) and also because, perhaps, we're used to looking at how the little things (like spaces and punctuation and all the minutiae) add up in aggregate.

I have my favorite things on which I splurge, but I can otherwise squeeze a penny with the best of 'em, as I suspect many, if not most, here can, as well.

But, yeah, there are people who hire others to do even their most routine tasks and chores, or who run the A/C in summer with open windows, or drive the Hummer the 1/2 block to the 7-11....
Downloading music/spoiled musicians and athletes
sbMT wrote: "cheating consumers for decades by selling tapes, cds and albums with only 1, maybe 2, good songs on them out of 10-15 songs. Remember back when you'd buy an album, and MOST of the songs on it were good?"

Yeah, actually I do remember the time. You would actually listen to the entire album. Or, if you wanted, just buy the 45.

Now you have to wait for "the best of" to come out in order to get more than a few good songs.

But I do agree that these musicians and sports stars income has gotten out of control.

What athlete truly is worth $12 mil a year? The QBs and WRs are usually paid that salary if they're really good. I loved Randy Moss when he was a Viking, his faults and all but what they paid him is outrageous - plus they just upped the NFL salary cap so the salaries will be even higher. And I truly think that if Moss stays with a QB that is good, he will break all of Jerry Rice's records.

However, I grew up watching quarterbacks like Indian Joe Kapp, playing with one bar across his helmet and taking big time hits from players like Deacon Jones like his famous "head slaps". They didn't baby the QB like they do now. Good grief, if you touch him with your fingertip 0.007 seconds after he releases the ball, it's a 15 yard penalty. Sissies. Go back and watch some football from the 70's. That was real football, not the prima donna crap you see today.

Now I'm sounding like an old fogey but I do miss the good old days of good music and good football. And yes, I still do watch football and root for my beloved Vikings every year but it disappoints me that the game has evolved the way it is and there are so darned many rules that the refs end up deciding at least one game a season with a bad call.

As far as music, heck - would you ever buy a copy of Pink Floyd's The Wall and not listen to every song? Any Zeppelin albums out there that haven't been worn down (entire album) by repeated playing?

OK. I'll get off my soap box now. ;-)
I was spoiled this year! 3 gift cards - 50.00 at Carrabas, 25.00 at Cheddar's, and then sm
3 cards to Wal Mart totalling 100.00 from mom for kids to get stuff. The other gift card (or gift cert.)is that the same thing? was for 200.00 to local spa. I guess I was good this year! LOL OH! How could I forget? My hubby bought me a gift cert. for a hair cut and style at a very expensive place AND made the appointment!!!! which is for tomorrow at 2!
She's a very spoiled little girl, who is going to inherit millions from the Hilton Hotel fortune
and from her father's real estate fortune.  She basically jumped into the limelight when her little personal homemade sex video was leaked out.  She is described as a "socialite, actress, and singer."  She likes to party hard and doesn't want to pay or take any responsibility for her own irresponsible actions, such as driving with a suspended license, DUI, you get the picture.
It means...

I don't care for organized religion. I believe there are some truths in most religions - the Golden Rule, live a life of moderation, try to make the world a better place. I believe there are spiritual aspects to our existence, that we are not just bones and skin and blood, we are something more. As to exactly what that "more" consists of - I read, I study, I learn, I experience....maybe one day I'll figure it out. Or maybe not.


Don't know if this answers your question, but it's the best I can do.


perhaps? That means maybe...
.
So that means don't put his name in
the hat for gift exchange or expect him to help decorate or attend a party. I think the amount the company spends per employee on any parties (if they are the ones paying) could simply be given to him as a check. Other employees could be told they have this option also. Maybe there is somebody else who thinks it's a lot of nonsense but just kept their mouth shut, but now they have the option of getting a check.

That's what I'd do if I were the OM or giving ideas to the OM. I'd still decorate if the majority want to, but avoid using real greenery for a completely different reason - a lot of people are now extremely allergic to Christmas trees or boughs that have been treated with some chemical to extend their life.
what it means
When he calls you that name, it means he has contempt for you. When he projects everything to be your fault, he also holds you in contempt. This is verbal and emotional abuse. As far as punching the wall, the wall is the stand in for what he would like to do to you and he may eventually punch you. Take it from me, who was called every dirty name ever invented by my spouse and whose doors and walls had holes and dents.

I would put your well-being and that of your child first and seek therapy. It would be great if he went, but he sees you as the problem, and he may refuse to go. You can't fix him. He needs to fix himself.

As much as you may not want to hear this, leaving him may be the best thing for your own sanity and self-preservation and also so your child doesn't have to grow up in that environment.

If you can't afford therapy, there may be a battered woman's group in your area that can give you information and advice. I utilized my local group and found it very helpful.

The only regret that I have about my marriage is that I stayed in it far too long.

I think she means
that with unstable dry sand, or even with sand of a wetter consistency, if a hole is too deep (over a child's head)it is possible for them to be in the hole and the sides collapse in on top of them. Just inform your kids that they cannot dig over a foot or so deep; make whatever limit you feel safe with. There's nothing to fear if they keep it shallow.

This happened to a man I knew years ago with dirt, not sand, but I agree it would be possible in sand and probably easier done. He was working in a ditch deeper than he was tall, and when it collapsed on top of him, it killed him. I do believe that is what 'SM' is warning against.
And that means?
Marriage is mostly a gamble. Some turn out alright, some don’t. I think it has nothing to do with the fact of the friend spilling her soul to a daughter.
thank you so much that means a lot to me
i'm in tears. I'm so glad you are happy.
No, I would not go. If that means he goes and you spend TG by yourself so be it.
After enduring 13 years of the "in-laws" I gave my husband an ultimatum - either them or me and I meant it. I was not putting up with them anymore. Fortunately, he chose me and his kids, and our lives have been so peaceful for the past 6 years without them in it! I just severed the ties.

Good luck with your situation. I really feel for you.

My mom always says "stay away from those who disrupt your inner peace." I listened to her advice.
I could be wrong but I think the OP means....sm

I read the OP's post as meaning if HEAVEN FORBID something happened either to their relationship (breaking up for example) or to her DH (heaven forbid but we don't know around the corner, eh?) - that she perhaps might want more children (with a 2nd husband is how I read this).  I don't read it as selfish - I read it as WHAT IF HE DIES.......and she chooses to get remarried or WHAT IF THEY DIVORCE and she chooses to get remarried. 


So, yeah, to the OP - the post made some *sense* to me as you were hoping it made to most of us.  Best luck! 


The word means to
water something down, not meaning neuter. IF you have a concetrated solution, you can put water in and that would so call neutralize it. Two completely different words.
I think a *record* means NOTHING if you have to - sm
CHEAT (i.e., steroids) in order to achieve it. He's still so OBVIOUSLY all 'roided up.... puffy face, oversized neck, etc. Heck, if I shot all that junk into my body, I could probably hit just as many homers out of the park, and I don't even play baseball!

I'm just SO thankful they didn't interrupt *Big Brother* to bring us the *news*.
yes, it means something to the Jewis and to
A little cultural education about others goes a long, long way!!  You might want to check into it......
It means, that back then you were in the sm
midst of full living and happiness with important people in your life. To pay attention to now because now is here and you should be creating happiness at this moment so when you look back you can say, ahhh, that was all good. You deserve to be happy. So if your not, find a way. If you are, be aware of it and count your blessings!
I think it means sharp tap.
Kind of like a teacher might do on her desk to get the class' attention.
I think it means you are still willing to learn (sm)
Something I have noticed about being "defined" is that sometimes it gets in the way of learning something new or even correcting old cherished ideas that are really wrong.

I have come to have definite and convictions about things, but it took time and something I still do is draw contrasts with other ideas to see if I still am comfortable thinking the way I do. Some things I have become more sure of, some refined and others discarded.

If I was going to give advice, I would say to keep asking questions about things and when you get answers, analyze whether they really make sense. It sounds like that is already what you do. As you go, you will become more sure about some things you believe now and other things are yet to be discovered.

One more thing I would advise: Keep an open mind and don't discount anyone as possibly having the information you need to find what is right and true.


No, it means you had sex on the same night, 13
x
Thank you for caring. It means a lot.
ss
I think OP means she would use the terms
mentally handicapped or mentally challenged. At least those are the terms I usually hear now-a-days. Good luck to you and your family.
We always have it the night of. Which means
if they set the date for that weekend, it will "interfere" with the rehearsal, dinner, etc.
Let him join 4H by all means

My neice has participated in 4H going on her 5th year since she was 8.  jShes' now 12 and she shows her horse, plus she does enters cooking projects, art, scrapbooking, and crafts.  There are so many different interests and programs for any kid.  Besides horses, there are rabbits and guinea pigs, plus all the assorted farm animals.  There's archery and competetive shooting.  Public speaking, woodworking, art projects, cooking, sewing, dog training, just about anything you can think of.  Your son doesn't not have to have a horse to participate.  Join a club that has a horse group.  A lot of times the leaders have horses they'll loan a kid for the year or know someone who will.  Don't let that stop you.  If you're in a position to do it, you can lease a horse.  That's what we did at first, we leased her horse for 6 months and then ended up buying him.  4H helps keep them out of trouble.  Teaches them responsibility and gives them self-esteem.  It's a family organization, so you and your husband can partiicipate if you like, they're always looking for adult volunteers.  Check with the county extension office where you live or in another county, if you like.  You should be able to find info online.  There's no residency requirement.  Tell them what you're looking for and they'll try to find a club that's a good fit for your son. 


Your dad having a girlfriend means nothing really
Your dad is in love with your mom. I don't know who initiated the divorce, but it seems very obvious your dad is still in love with your mom. Having a girlfriend is just to keep him from feeling so alone, but she obviously doesn't fill that void he has, which is his family and wanting that life he had. YOU are his family, you and your mom were the life he had; divorce doesn't make those feelings go away. I'm sure he does come by to see what your mom is doing or if she is at home but no doubt he just misses that closeness with you as well.

He wants to still know he has a family..... his girlfriend certainly isn't filling that void.
By all means, keep the vet appointment sm
just to make sure of what's going on. She could have just about anything, from arthritis, tendinitis, Lyme, or even a blood clot. I'm glad the med is helping her. Is it Rimadyl? I would avoid using aspirin until you hear from the vet.

Yes, like I said, by all means go to Al-Anon. sm
You work the Al-Anon program for yourself and not for the alcoholic. You'll be more than glad you did. Not to necessarily save your marriage, but to save YOURSELF.
this usually means some atypical cells
were seen - usually nothing diagnostic - sometimes something treatable (in which case I would think they would give you a script) like yeast.  They are not worried, just want to make sure that it is okay in 6 months or if it isn't then it may be something diagnostic.  It happened to me once - think it may also have been after relatively recent birth.  Shakes you up but it is probably okay.  
at their age, they know what "at work" means, and-
nm
I don't either. If she loves your brother, that means she SM
should love you too, or, at the very least, respect the love you have for one other. She doesn't seem very loving.

My stepdaughter just got booted out of house by my stepson DH bought for the two of them by his new girlfriend. Doesn't exactly sound like love.

If you love man, you must love family or at least try to get along.

Sorry you had a bad time. Again, I don't understand this behavior. Life is easier when all get along and life is too darn short.
lol, nope not offended at all. Not sure what that means actually.
But, yes, you would think, right? But nope! Actually I have been going to the up-scale and very expensive salons where they have spas and serve you lattes and finger sandwiches by choice hoping I will get good results and they are the ones I have the most problems with!

If you read my other post, where I mentioned the bleach products and what I said about the expensive versus the cheaper products, you'd see what I mean.

But thanks!
I know for a fact that you dreaming of your ex means sm
that you are "yearning" for a closeness like you once felt. If you are married or have been for a long time, when you are neglected emotionally, spiritually and physically, your body goes back to something you once had that was good.
I don't know if it is our subconscience trying to tell us something (like leave your loser husband if he's not doing a thing for you), but it's saying something to us.

In any case, that's what they usually mean.
One can't put a price tag on what Christmas really means but...sm
if we didn't set limits/budgets in our household then we'd end up spending a cazillion bucks on the season. Having limits set helps keeps us on track of not getting carried away buying gifts yet lets us purchase gifts for people to Celebrate the season.... just as the wise men took gifts when Jesus was born to celebrate his birth. Setting limits gives everyone who is buying in our family line parameters for what kind of gifts they need to look at. Fortunately no one in our family line needs anything per se but that doesn't mean you shouldn't give them a gift. We do buy gifts in addition for foster kids and that comes from a different section of our family budget.
Yes. And discipline means desciple.
Parents are to provide discipline, desciple means one who is taught. Spare the rod means let them do whatever feels right. Well, in the real world that is a dangerous way to approach life. So, to me spare the rod means if you don't set boundaries, spoil the child, you have a child always testing boundaries who will someday have no or little morals. At least that is my idea of the saying.
Having pain occasionally probably means it's nothing (sm)
to worry about.  It's probably that the "density" of the breast tissue makes it difficult to identify anything out of the ordinary. 
Ya know, just by being in certain part of country means
your name is that common. My mother, grandparents living in south- named Paradiso. I don’t consider that very southern but here is where we live. You generalize when you say certain names for certain parts of the country. My last name is now French- but hubby and I both southern.....
That's what I thought too....not necessarily means yes (nm)

What works best for me and am not cured by any means - sm
I am highly allergic to dust mites.  I mean off the chart allergic to them.  I am slightly allergic to pig weed but nothing else at all.  For years I have had my mattresses and pillows encased, no carpet in my entire house, HEPA filter in bedroom and home office, no curtains in the bedroom, and I got allergy shots for 4 years, which did no good at all.  I am still having to take various prescription allergy meds and nose spray on a daily basis.  The doctor did tell me kids do much better with allergy shots, especially for dust mites, than adults because their immune systems are still forming.  All I know is you have got to eliminate as many allergens as possible and keep trying different things to see what works best.

Did you know this pose means Ecstasy

LODI, Calif. -- Two high school seniors are accused of making a drug-related hand gesture in their prom picture, prompting school officials to suspend them.


Josh Niemeyer and his date are seen making the letter "T" with their hands in a picture taken during Lodi High School's prom.


The seniors said they made the gesture because the prom's theme was "Techno City."


But Shad Canestrino from the Lodi Police Department said the gesture represents the words "thiz" or "thizzin'," which are slang terms for Ecstasy, or MDMA.


Canestrino said there's a a whole subculture that goes along with "thiz" and "thizzin'' which stems from Mac Dre songs. Mac Dre, a Bay-Area based rapper who died in 2004, coined the term.


"We knew there was another meaning for it, like double-sided. But our intentions were not to promote drugs or anything. Just 'T' for 'techno,'" Niemeyer said.


Niemeyer and his date were suspended for three days.


"I just think the school has jumped to conclusions and they have made their own interpretation and it isn't fair," parent Lisa Russell said.


Several Lodi High students wore hand-painted T-shirts on Thursday in support of Josh and his date.


According to students, the "T" gesture signifies drug use only when it's accompanied by a facial expression and a slouching body.


The school's principal and the district superintendent said they would not comment on student disciplinary matters.


Drinking 9-12 beers a day means he is

I am not romanticizing divorce by any means sm

While my dad obviously found a wonderful woman he remarried, my mother was not so happy. She remarried twice and divorced again and is just now getting remarried again to her boyfriend of almost 14 years as she feels that this is finally going to work. I have had difficulties in my own marriage, which are getting better, and while I was incredibly close to getting out, I have chosen to work on my marriage. And I don't know if I would have ever gotten remarried simply because of the issues facing blended families.


As far as your stepdaughter, she was forced to make a terrible and unfair choice. I had a similar experience but with a much different outcome. I felt like I was betraying my bio-mom by calling my stepmother Mom and agonized over doing so. When my stepmom told me that she was okay with me not calling her that and that it was my decision, I found a bit of control in a situation otherwise beyond my control. While I chose to call her Mom, I also tried not to do so in front of my "other mom." I don't know all of the circumstances, but with my own experience, maybe she felt like the choice she made was the only one she could make without losing her mother.
