I'm emailing you...........sm
I think January is a great time to stop, although I do have to wonder if smoking will become vogue again since we have a president who smokes.

I had a friend whose mother died of lung cancer with mets to the brain and she never smoked a day in her life either.
We are emailing each other directly
now and I sent a CD of a song to her that I wrote from Westminster! This is great. I wrote it for family, friends, etc. and never, never thought it would go the places it has gone. I guess for the week plus we connected on this board I never knew a gab board restricted to gabbing bach and forth. Who knew? Also, what was the harm of getting to know one another a little before we exchanged personal email? Thanks.
Hey Regina. STOP EMAILING ME.
Geez.
A question about emailing. Please read. I need your help! SM

The other day my niece sent an emaill accidentally to a friend of mine whom she does not know when I sent something to the regular group of my friends and she ended up sending it him.


He answered her, and then they began talking back and forth.


The next day she wrote me an email telling me they talked. I wanted to talk to both of them now because I thought this was funny, so before I replied to her I put his name on as a CC.


Today he replied to ME on that same email and asked some questions about her. I did not say anything bad, but just told some personal stuff about her that was not bad, just stress she is under.  I clicked reply to send that to him.


Did that go just to him, since he emailed me today, or did it go to both of them since both names were on the original email?  I only clicked REPLY and not REPLY TO ALL.  

Hope I made sense. I already apologized to my niece in advance, and she is not mad. I just feel terrible about this. I love her dearly and should never have discussed anything personal regarding her life with him.


Awaiting your reply!  Thanks!


Tell me if I am crazy

There is a man (very good looking I might add) who goes to our church.  He is newly single, having been divorced about 3 months.  I am single, having been divorced about 4 years.  We have known each other since I was about 14 or so. He is about 11 years older than me, which is not a problem (for me anyway) We have a lot in common, having both been single parents, both of us raising only 1 child, boys.  I REALLY like him.  He is smart, funny and just an all around good guy.  He is not perfect, I know that.  But he has had some ATROCIOUS luck with women.  Ditto me with guys.  He has come to church off and on, not steady but from all apperances he is back to stay now. 


Question:  should I let myself like him?  I am kinda shy, and lord knows that I am not Miss Teen USA but I think I am a pretty nice person.  He is pretty flirty towards me (in a NICE way) but I am scared that I will run him off if I flirt back but at the same time, I don't want him to think I am a snob. 


I have had him fix my computer (he is a computer whiz) and I baked him a cherry pie and that went well.  I need all the advice that I can get (prayer would not go amiss either!)


 


 


crazy... I would have given her the man I have for nothing
:)
crazy
That is crazy. Any realtor would have NEVER given them the keys until closing!! You have a good case against them. I would definitely call the office and complain to his boss. What happens if they don't show up at closing. You are out whatever they ripped up. WOW!
That's just crazy.
They will be adults some day and never forget how immature he was when they needed him to be a calm leader.


That's crazy!
I would write a letter to the bank and cancel my account with them. That is wrong that they cashed a voided check. Can't fault Wal-Mart for wanting their money, but the bank should be paying that $40, not you! Not saying its right, but the other place probably doesn't look at the mail-in checks very closely but just send them through to the bank. Bottom line, the bank should have caught that.
I think I'm going crazy.
I'm 48 and I was wondering when all that started too. I will get 2 periods, then skip 2, etc, etc. I am mean as a snake sometimes and then can't stop crying other times. I hate this. Sometimes I feel like my head is just going to explode. I've never taken any kind of mood-altering medications, they kind of scare me, same with HRT but geez am I going nuts?
I will pray for you and I would say no you are not crazy
but cautious - which you have to be. I would let him make all the moves and not be afraid to come off as 'snobby' - you have earned the right to be reserved - you are a single mom raising your son and that is your priority.  He will respect that - you want to give him a little time anyway - 3 months is not very far out from divorce.  Praying! :))
What do you think? I know this may sound crazy, but here goes. sm

I am in my mid 30s and currently having orthodontic treatment done. The doctor is so sweet (great looking too!).  I find him staring at me whenever I come in there, unusually so.  He's very, very attentive to me when he sees me.  Fast forward to yesterday. I paid all of treatment within 3 months using insurance and cash (close to 5,000) and I received a letter today. He told me that he was so impressed with the way I set goals to pay my treatment in such a short time.  Then he went on to say he was "looking forward to getting to know me better."


Okay. I was a little shocked. Is this normal? I've never had this happen before. It was a personal, hand written note.


Anyways, just wondering what your thoughts would be on this.  He is the kindest, gentlest doctor I've ever been around.  But, that's besides the point.


Just wanted to share this with you all. Not really looking for advice. Just thought it was weird.


Okay - this is going to sound crazy
But if you are an MT and this is MT business - you might consider contacting the AAMT - which is stationed in Modesto, Calif - even if you are not a member you'd think they could be halfway helpful.  I'm familiar with the Sacramento area and could tell you places to stay away from there in Stockton and Sacramento but not familiar with Modesto.  Sorry and best of luck!!
He would be totally crazy ...
If I kept him in for 2 to 3 months!! We have a large deck and in the one corner of it is a dog house and he has totally torn off the lattice in one whole section (to the dismay of my husband, to put it mildly) because he wants to be with my neighbors dogs.
If I cut this off, it will basically be the entire section of pad right in the middle of the paw which I think would take the brunt of his walking. It is on his back foot.
Eating ice like crazy!?

I'm in a phase of craving cold water and ice like crazy these days.  Anybody know what that means, besides perhaps anemia?  I was anemic a while back, but got that taken care of and don't see any reason I should be again.  I've been cutting back on sugar and dieting a little bit, wondering if that could be it?


Whatch'all think?


SNAP OUT OF IT???? That's crazy . .sm
The people who said that to you don't care about you, and have absolutely no compassion. I took a grieving class at a local hospital when my dad died years ago. It was the best thing I ever did. With a job and very, very young children, it was hard for me to take the time to grieve. Don't push it aside, you need to let the moment hit you and work through it. It's harder to grieve when you push it back. . . Check your local hospital, also, it was an awesome support group and helped tremendously. God Bless You. Don't let ANYONE tell you to snap out of it or get over it. You NEVER "GET OVER IT", you will always, always miss her.
LOL! And they call ME crazy!
You silly girl! 
WOW. Yes what a crazy wedding
Glad you have been demoted to program passer outer. LOL. Butterflies and 65 and 68 years old. CRAZY. Keep us posted about he reception. I am sure that should be a hoot too.

Enjoy yourself. It is almost over. LOL.

BTW - I am going to a wedding Sept 1st. They are going to have a pig roast. How about that?? I am from NJ and never been to a wedding like that before. Should be very exciting. Can't wait.
Exactly why I never go to the crazy sales.

People go insane during the holiday shopping season.


Crazy idea...
In addition to your original idea, mention to your granddaughter that when a big girl goes poop on the potty she can have a Poopy Party. Then, have cupcakes and party hats on hand for the next time she does go on the potty. If you are creative, you could make up a song, etc. Doesn't have to be all out, but the idea of a party might get her attention and cooperation.

After the first time, you would not have to make such a big deal again, but maybe just offer a few Skittles M&Ms, or stickers, etc. to help reinforce the positive aspect of going on the potty.

Just a thought. Good luck.
How to drive them all crazy
I put random numbers and/or letters on the presents not to be revealed until Christmas morning, so no one knows whose is whose.  Gives me lots of chuckles year after year! 
This may sound crazy sm

Sounds like he has a good heart but other problems. You could ask him if you could both go on an alcohol-free stay at the hotel? Most hotels have a pool, suana, etc., and since alcohol dulls your senses, etc., wouldn't it be nice to start the new year out sober and clean or clean and sober, whatever! If you drink as well, it may be nice for both of you to pour all the alcohol down the sink together forever. Not only will you two be happier, but what a gift to your children! Alcohol could be causing him to act peculiar. Alcoholism is an allergy of the body and a craving of the brain or obsession of the mind, in my estimation. There are so much better things in life! Just my humble opinion. You sound strong enough to carry out a plan and if it doesn't work, then take the next necessary step. Good luck!


PS: You could tell him that your marital relations will improve in the bedroom without alcohol, that's a fact as well. Sounds like a good guy gone wrong to me.


This may sound crazy sm
But when I am totally stressed, I make a grateful list. I realize that all I have is a lot more than others. I have been through a lot in life and came out the other side. If it were not for my faith that what doesn't kill me will make me stronger, I could not do it. It's the old, "I felt bad because I did not have shoes and then I met someone who did not have feet." Tomorrow is another day and things will look better, I sure hope so. You don't have to be a religious person, just believe that there is a power greater than yourself who will help you through all this. And be grateful to have "something" if not the greatest job in the world, at least it's a little money coming in. Some people can't get hired no matter where they try. Good luck to you. Feel better.
that's kinda crazy.
she has been gone for a long time. I wonder if she's going to come back to help Jack with this mess he has created. She really is good for his character when he goes into bad things. Wonder how old Abby will be.
This may sound crazy and it's
What about chiropractic?  It might be worth a shot.  If he has done this for a while, maybe he has subluxations that are affecting the nerves.
This drives me crazy too.
Unless you put your purse in your trunk before you leave your house, what's the point? It's obvious what you are doing and that you don't plan to be back for a while when you do it in the parkinglot of a hospital, mall, etc. I think it would be just as easy to pick a lock on a trunk as anything else, not to mention for someone to approximate and come back in 7 or 8 hours and wait for you to come back and get you then.

I hope this lady is okay. It's such a terrible thing. They need to get whoever did this off the streets.
Crazy quilt

I was wondering if anyone had ever made a crazy quilt just by sewing old scrap material onto a sheet.  I inherited a sewing machine and tons of scrap material.  I also still have my children's old baby clothes I could use.  Mom said it comes out too heavy doing it that way.  I don't know if there is a special way to do it.  I don't know how to quilt.  I am afraid though If I get someone else to do it, they would charge me an arm and a leg.  Does anyone out there have any information on this? H and I could really use something this winter.  The old quilt I have on there has a hole in it. 


Crazy people............
who want to show that two lesbians can have a biological child.
Crazy Temperatures
Okay, tomorrow's high will be 52 and Monday's will be 46, with a hard freeze Sunday night.  Then, Christmas Eve day and Christmas Day highs will be in the 70s.  Just won't feel much like Christmas with those temperatures.  Wish Monday's temperatures would wait until Christmas :).  Of course, living in south Louisiana, this is something that can happen.  Our coldest time is actually January and February.  At least we did get over 5 inches of snow on the 11th.
You're crazy

You are CRAZY. end of discussion, you are in your own....nm

I think my hormones are crazy
and would love to do something about them. I am guessing the poster below who said the levels change too much is probably right.

I sure would love to get rid of the depression and brain fog I often get though!
Crazy Idea?

I had already been kicking this idea around in my head, then I stumbled across some other people going cool things....


I live in a city. I mean IN a city, not KINDA near a city, but IN a city. I started looking at http://www.urbanfarming.org/ They get people growing things, including youth, and including food banks and such. I went to the auditor's site to look up the owners of a few vacant lots near me. Is this an insane project to even consider? I was going to try starting it from the ground up, so to speak, but then I bumbled across people already doing it, just not here yet!


not crazy at all.........however, give him space....

Best of luck - if ya give him space, he might come a-runnin.....he also might be *gun-shy* at the moment...being only 3 months out....


Prayers comin' your way!! 


Wow Medtype10--that is a crazy schedule!
How in the heck are you doing THAT?!  You are incredibly amazing for doing that to help out DIL out like that.  Can you say "angel award?!"  Just incredible!
I just tries to keeps it light in this crazy world is all...

Ever see the movie "Clueless?"  There's this GREAT line where the father tells this boy that if he doesn't have his daughter home safe and sound at the end of the date, "I got a .45 and a shovel, I doubt anyone would miss you." 


Freakin' kills me! 


They were probably afraid of the crazy woman!
LOL
I think I'm a crazy neighbor magnet

Two stories:


First is lady who lives upstairs, is retired, likes to wake up with gin and set the sun with it. This woman HAS to win the award for the biggest busybody ever born. I've tried to be friendly (10 apartments on this side...I'm on the bottom level). If someone's car tags expired yesterday, she is asking management to have it hauled. If someone's dog looks like it's going to poop, she is going over to ask the owner if they plan to clean it up.  She walks around the parking lot to critique how clean people keep their cars.  Two other neighbors above me have banned her from talking to them because she is so intrusive, so she started fixating on me


My son moved out about 45 days ago and left his broken down car and guess what? The tag expired. Two weeks ago she accidentally told me she was after mgmt to  get it towed. I looked at her and asked her if she was trying to get my son's car towed. Oh, no, she didn't mean it like that. I couldn't help it.  I said, "you mean you didn't mean to say that to my face, right?" I told her keep her nose out of my business and I got the car towed within 3 days and blocked her phone number on my phone. She knocked on my door yesterday (my son was pulling up to come in to sign the title and I was getting ready for a doctor appointment). I thought it was my son when she knocked and I opened the door. She wanted to talk to me about my across-the-hall neighbor's garbage (see next story) that had been pulled apart by cats in the breezeway...I told her I didn't have time cuz of the appt and started to shut the door.  She put out her arm and pushed my door back open into my apartment, making me have to step backward. I was floored! I told her she didn't have the right to use her body to keep me from closing my own front door. I told her to move her arm ...now! She didn't drop her arm, but the pressure lessened and I was able to close the door.  I heard voices and my door opened by my son.  He had heard what was said and she was trying to get him to tell me something.  He just shook his head and said, "not my problem!" Arggh! I did stop at the office on the way out to let them know about the garbage and what happened with the neighbor. Other than just avoiding her as I have been doing (which I think is the best approach) is to file a complaint at the sheriff's office.  If something else happens within 12 months of the complaint, I could get a restraining order on her.


Story Two - even better - Across-the-hall trash lady who leaves out her plastic garbage bags 1 or 2 times a week. Since she started that, cats, insects and vermin have infested my home, so I call the office to ask them to place give her a reminder notice that leaving out trash is not allowed. I'm never ugly about it even though I have had to get a professional pest control service and I have caught one rat and one mouse since she started this.  I have never gotten along with this woman. My first interaction with her told me she has an abbrasive personality, so I just smile, say hi, quick chit chat, but nothing personal.  The first neighbor introduced us because new neighbor was taking her 3 yo son with her to work and it was causing her problems on the job...so first neighbor knocked on my door, introduced us and told her that since I stay home and had a 3 yo, I could keep HER kid too!   We exchanged phone numbers to "think about it" and I told her it wouldn't work as we worked different shifts (I thought that was a gracious passive-aggressive way to handle it). The longer she has lived here, the more the phrase comes to my mind.."you can take the girl out of the trailer park, but..."  So today I come home from picking up my kid from daycare to find a puppy out in the trash and huge boxes of used toys she hasn't gotten to the dumpster yet in the breezeway. The puppy comes right over to my 4 yo (who is thrilled) and starts peeing on her shoes   The neighbor's sister who moved in to babysit came out the door saying she dropped her phone in the tub, it won't work, can she use mine.  I tell her I'm using mine to work, so not now. I ask her if that is their dog.  Yes. I tell her that I think I just don't know if I can handle all the trash in the breezeway, plus a dog that relieves itself just outside my door, too. She denied the dog did that and as I was pointing out the puddles, there it was.  The cutest little pile of steaming brownies 2 inches from my door jam. Oh, HE didn't do it! yeah, right! But, sister said she would clean it up.  I told her I'd be glad to watch the dog while she did that. She got mad, but I didn't believe she was going to clean it up. When the neighbor got home, she called me and was screaming about how ugly I treated her sister! I told her if she couldn't talk calmly, conversation was over.  She couldn't, I hung up. She called back in same manner.  I told her don't call me again or I would report her for annoying phone calls and hung up.  Yep, 8 calls later she finally left a message on voice mail admitting it was her dog.


So here is my question - I already made a tape copy to possibly take to mgmt to see if she has paid her $500 pet deposit - do I do that?  I went online and filled an annoyance call record with the phone company (all the calls were on my caller ID). That's out of my hands. After she left the message, I heard her come out into the breezeway and start yelling at me through the door. I ignored her. She is one of those who has to WIN and I wouldn't be surprised if strange things started happening.  Do I file a complaint at the sherrif's for both these things (I'll be the one looking like a nut!), do I find a lawyer to get me out of my lease, do I install a hidden camera to feel a little more secure, or just be a hermit until my lease is up Feb 1?


Anybody have any suggestions? I hate this kind of stuff.  Why can't we all just get along?  Where is that poster who set the visiting neighbor's kid straight about the rules of her house so I can rent her out to handle my problem!!  OMG, I just looked out my peep hole and there is ANOTHER bag of garbage just now put out with yesterday's garbage!!! No Way!!!! 


It's not being money hungry or crazy (sm)
Please realize that some people in this world are just plain mean. and sometimes we end up married to them! Believe me I have spoken up. I am not money hungry, but I also don't think it's fair to put my children in a position of being destitute and hungry. That makes for angry teenagers and problematic adults.
"The Gods Must Be Crazy" ! - nm
.
Sounds to crazy to be normal. sm
Thanks for the advice.  I am trying to convince my macho husband to sit while peeing. Ha.
Are you crazy? It sounds like this lady is just
starting off exercising and your talking about trails and going up hills.  Not everyone is that fit, especially if she's just starting.  And 21 gears - your nuts!  Sounds like that takes the fun out of biking with so many gears.
That is truly an example of crazy left-wing

husband driving you crazy
Well, you could be like me and a lot of other women...no husband...all alone.  I have all the time to myself I want and care to have.  I was married once, and we worked together on the ranch and loved it.  I like the suggestion that you go on a weekly date, or biweekly.  Men do not know how to set these kinds of things up, so I will be on your shoulders to do this.  Be creative and include things you both like to do.  Wish I had that option.
I think I'm going crazy - need some insight (long)
Okay so I have been dealing with this issue for awhile, and I need some opinions, ideas, anything to verify that i'm really not crazy...

I feel like I have two sides. I've been married for two years, and I love my husband and know I'd be devastated without him. I love our little house and our circle of friends and everything that comes with married life. We are young at 23 and 26, but I've never been bothered by that.

But, there is another side of me that drives me crazy. It's the side that tells me to run for the hills, that this is as good as it gets, that from here on out life deteriorates. I don't know if I'm just freaking out because I realize I'm not getting younger or what. My parents never had a good marriage (they were divorced when I was 5) and they were married about the same time we were (except my dad was almost 15 years older than my mom).

I constantly feel like these two sides are battling it out. One minute I feel all wifey and considering kids and all dutiful housewife/MT, the next minute I'm freaking out just wanting to go grab a beer and party it up. Is this normal at my age? Is there something wrong with me?

My husband still enjoys going out every now and then, but not like we used to when we first got together 5 years ago. I think he's starting to want to settle down, and maybe that's what I'm afraid of. I don't know if I'm ready to just fall into a routine. I always thought life would turn out to so much more than that. I always thought my life would be exciting, spontaneous, filled with adrenaline rushes, etc.

On the other hand I absolutely love the commitment and safety I feel and have with my husband. I love knowing that the boy I fell in love with is my man for life (hopefully!).

Any thoughts would be great. I really worry myself sometimes. I really get tired of this constant back and forth in my head, and I feel like one of them has got to win soon or I'm really going to go crazy! I just don' t want to make any rash decisions that I would regret for the rest of my life!

Well at least it feels better to get it all out...

TIA
Her mother is crazy...I could never walk on someone's grave...

even visiting loved ones in the cemetary you know not to walk over other peoples graves...I was taught that when I was younger---LOL...totally disrespectful...Her mother is just angry that she is buried in the Bahamas and not in Texas....


its crazy but it depends on what state you live in.
here in Missouri there is no law stating that a kid has to be any certain age to be left home alone.  isnt that rediculous????crazy..makes no sence.  my nextdoor neighbors kids are home everyday after school for 3-5 hours...depending on what time the mom gets off work, they are 9-girl and 6-boy..she checked on the laws before telling me cuz she knew i would turn her in.  i just told her adn the kids if they ever needed anything, i am right next door...but i cant babysit.
How long are my hot flashes going to last? Driving me crazy!!!!!!!!!!
 
I totally agree with you. My dogs go crazy
when we have been gone for a couple of days (we have a wonderful pet sitter). My stepmother has us keep her dog is she is gone for more than 10 hours. I know it sound excessive but her dog has diabetes and needs constant care which my daughter gladly gives. Once when my parent had been gone for several days my stepmother (hate using step because she is so much more) had lost her voice and couldn't get her dog to come to her here in our house but as soon as she saw her "mommie" she was all over her. I have heard that dogs don't have a sense of time, but they sure know how to think and feel. Last night my maltese was hungry and when he knew it was time to eat he went to his empty bowl and scratched until he got someone's attention. Dogs are very smart.
No, George, the old crazy guy.. I miss that show.

I'm in south western PA - It's snowing like crazy
here, the ground has almost covered in a matter of minutes. thought I would get a chance to clean up the leaves before they got covered in snow, but I guess not.
