I haven't actually figured it up...sm

But I would say about $100-$150 a week on food. There are 3 of us in the family. Me, my son, and my husband.

I figured....

....that they meant for people to think the monitor strip was an EEG and that she had brain cancer. Or maybe they just don't have a very good medical advisor for the show.


You're right, there is absolutely no proof that Juliet's sister's tumor recurred. He may have just told Juliet that to keep her on the island and now - voila! - he produces evidence that he "cured" her.


There is still the question of what kind of force was "unleashed" when they let the computer countdown get to zero without putting in the code. There was a tremendous effect at the time but there hasn't been much said about it since. That's one of the questions I want answered....


I figured

that it was probably normal nerves, I had the same kind of nerves before my hubbie and I got married I was so nervous about it changing our relationship which it did but it changed it in such a good way.  I feel like a child would just deepen our relationship but then I start thinking about other things... I desperately want to be a good mother but also a good wife.  Oh well the only way to find out is just go ahead with our plans to try and have a baby.  We have many nieces and nephews and he is absolutely wonderful with them.  We also were with his cousin this past weekend who has an 18 month old, the kid loved my hubbie!!  She would just talked to him and she even told him she loved him before we left.  He talked about how sweet she was and how sweet it was she said that to him.  I think he will be such a good father.  Thanks for letting me know it is just normal nerves that helps!!!


I had one, but I figured out the cause
and quit doing that. For me I get one if I'm doing anything that puts unusual pressure on my wrist in a certain position. Triggers include pushups, weight lifting (probably had my wrist in the wrong position back in HS), and handsprings. If you could figure out the trigger you might be able to modify your wrist position. Mine always went away.
I figured it would be a cut in pay but

how much, I don't know.  When I worked in house I was happier, lost weight, fixed myself up more and felt better. I liked being able to work my hours and then forget it.  Here, I feel chained to a computer.   Now that I am at home, I have gained weight, haven't worn make-up in 6 months, really finding it hard to be motivated to do anything.  I would go back in but it is too far to drive, 50 miles. 


The school is only a block away.  I could go to work, come home and enjoy.  No computer malfunctions, no worrying about making quota on line counts,  I feel it is time for a change.  Then again, I am having a bad computer day.  After being down for 2 hours I had to make myself get back on when we finally could and work again and now I have to make up the hours I lost. 


I figured they would drag it out more, but (sm)
something about the way they showed previews for today, showing the back door of the church.  I don't know.  Yes, Phyllis is an EXCELLENT actress.
never mind, i figured it out nm

Watch out I just figured out how to do this
Hey now, this is how we need to all transcribe, with three little assistants to help us all. Adia on the bookshelf. Vincent on the desk and Tristen on the shelf. Vincent has since crossed the rainbow bridge, he is sorely missed by all. Anyone else out there able to match this for helpers in photographic evidence, lets have a contest.
I finally figured out how to add a pic...
I love everyones pics of their pets, so here's my girl Sara sleeping with my son.  She is 7 years old and we rescued her from the pound when she was 5 months. 
This is how my fibro figured out
I had not a clue when I went to the doctor, shoulders really hurting me, so sore and tender. Doc got me to lie on my stomach and started to palpate my spine. When you jump off the table with pain, then you have fibro.
both my kids figured it
My kids never believed in Santa, and they would ask is there one and I would say yes, and change the subject because my kids have big mouths and would have marched into preschool and "educated" everyone else. So the answer is yes, change the subject, don't drag it out. Don't educate the rest of the three year olds by being "honest" with your kids. We just minimalized the importance of it and get on with the rest of christmas.
My daughter (the youngest) figured it out
at about age 12 or 13 when she was awake when I put a quarter under her pillow for a tooth. She didn't let on to me, but says now (she's 17) that she extrapolated on her own that if the Tooth Fairy didn't exist, probably Santa didn't either. She says she never felt lied to, and cherishes the magic she felt back then.
I miss free XM radio on AOL, but figured that

Yes, we called him 'gay Elvis' before we figured out

I haven't done much yet...

I pulled out some flowers that didn't make it to the end of the summer, but some of my annuals look better now than they did earlier so I hate to pull them.  We haven't had a frost yet, so most of my summer stuff looks great.  Once we have a frost, I will pull the annuals and plant my bulbs.


I am in Central PA, so yes the leaves are starting to turn.  They look so pretty.  Where are you?  Your pepper plant sounded interesting.  What kind of weather, growing zone do they like?


I haven't been through this, but...
A good rule of thumb in life is to (1) not worry about things for which you don't have all the information, and (2) not worry about things over which you have no control. You don't have all the information necessary at this point and you definitely don't have control over what's going on, so worrying is absolutely unproductive and is added stress that your baby doesn't need right now.

I wish the best for you. Now go relax and think good thoughts!
I haven't used one myself, but...sm
my parents and sister have had excellent results with theirs.  They both have big, strong dogs - a black lab and a border collie mixed with something big and long-legged - and they both trained very quickly and easily. 
We haven't seen her yet but....sm
if you know of a weekend day in the future that you'd like to go we might could meet you there. I have a zoo membership and can get 1 adult and up to 2 additional kids in for no extra charge. E-mail me if you're interested.
I haven't been there
personally but have a friend who visits it regularly. For her 13th birthday instead of getting presents for herself, she asked the girls she invited to bring a gift for an animal and then spent her birthday up there at the shelter playing with the animals.


No, I haven't seen it.
I'm not sure if I've ever even seen it advertised.
If they haven't been to one themselves, they just don't get it. Wish I could go, too! nm

I haven't, but need to.

I only have the one child, also, but a daughter, so I know the feeling of wanting to get that perfect gift for your "one and only."  She is four and wants everything, so I guess that makes it a little easier, since I can buy anything and it will be something that she wanted.   


Your son is going to be SO excited!  What a good mommy you are. 


haven't been there
but just wanted to wish you well. It sounds like you are making the right decision. My husband's father is an alcoholic and from what I have heard (we have talked about it a lot) it is not pleasant for kids. You are making the right decision for them. My MIL did not do the same for her kids but my husband still wishes she had.

His father is still an alcoholic and now we face the difficult decision with his influence on our children. We make the tough decisions that we feel are best for our kids. It's our job as parents and we know it is the right thing to do, despite what others within the family may say, namely the alcoholic FIL and MIL who still stands by his side and takes the abuse.

Good luck. It will all work out in time.
haven't really gotten into them...
although my sister is always seeming to be watching a lifetime movie!!!
They won't or haven't said. What do you think? nm
@
Haven't seen her on HSN
but to answer your question, from what you're probably describing, she's always like that. I saw some of her jewelry on AI and one of the entertainmnet shows. Some of it's really nice and not overpriced from the pieces she had on.
Haven't seen that one all the way thru...
I'll watch it if so!
Haven't tried this yet...sm

but I have this recipe in my "To Try" files.  If the filets are really thin, I would grill them on an oiled sheet of aluminum foil. 


Ingredients
2 pounds flounder fish fillets 
1/2 cup olive oil 
1/4 cup lemon juice 
2 teaspoons salt 
1/2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce 
1/2 teaspoon cajun seasoning 


Directions
Arrange fish on a well-oiled grill.  Combine remaining ingredients and baste fish.  Grill, turning and basting occasionally, for 10 minutes per inch of thickness or until fish is flaky and no longer translucent in the center. 


Haven't you ever

Haven't you ever said something and after you said it you realized it didn't come out the way you meant it to and you wished you had never said it.  Men act first and think later most of the time.  My son is always teasing his wife, she wants to become a nurse practitioner and he always says he is going to retire when she gets her NP license.  He is kidding but if she was really touchy about it she would get mad.  He is an electrical contractor and makes alot of money but he still says he is going to retire and let her support him. 


Since this is a new relationship for you I would back off a little bit on paying for things.  Think of free stuff to do and spend more time with him getting to know him.  If he is looking for someone to pay the way he will be on his way and you will have your answer.


I did and haven't had any problems at all. nm

I haven't done it in a while, but here is a site
that looks pretty good:

http://ezinearticles.com/?Crate-Training-A-Puppy-Or-Adult-Dog&id=87816

Keeping the crate in the family area during the day and your bedroom at night is very important for a puppy. Being alone is distressing, and they don't learn as well when they are stressed about that.

I know you're probably getting tired and frustrated, but you can do this. Good luck.
No I haven't - is it good? (nm)

What is this show about? Haven't seen it.
x
I haven't seen his show but...

have seen the ads for his show on HGTV.  He looks fun.  Like you would want to invite him over to a party at your house, even if he couldn't decorate for you!! 


Don't know about what he does with silk but whatever it is, I bet it is snappy!!!


I haven't tried it; I am using fitday.com


This website is free and is a tool used to help keep track of your calorie/fat/carb intake. 


I have limited myself to 1000-1200 calories a day.  I was really hungry for the first couple of days, but then I adjusted.  Now, I am not hungry.  If you go less than 1000 calories you won't lose any weight.  I started about 2 mos ago and I just hit the 20-pound mark today.  I don't have time to exercise.  I work full time and have 2 small children.  Now that it is nice, we walk across the street to the park a couple times a week, which doesn't really count 'cause it isn't "strenuous" at all.  Just being more active has helped me.  Plus I feel better about myself. 


I have a long way to go, but I am off to a great start!  Good Luck!!!


 


I haven't but would LOVE to!

OMG! I haven't seen red poppies since I was

How do you know they haven't been told already?
Maybe the parent's already told them and the kids or parents are saying anything to anybody about it. Anyhow, it is not your place to tell them.
I haven't ever met my doctor!

I've had her for 5+ years now and have no clue what she even looks like!  No matter where I've lived, I always ask to see the NP, but that's my choice.  I personally prefer seeing NPs, as I think they spend a lot more time with the patient and aren't as harried.  Plus, she's a fatty and I don't feel so bad about myself when I see her and I'm all nudie-toonie!  How bad is that?!  


                                    


Haven't noticed anything like that here
And I live only a few miles from Oklahoma City, which is Sonic HQ.
I haven't heard this? sm
I know she "surrendered" to the police on the DUI charge in May. She wasn't officially arrested until after she finished rehab. I haven't heard about her in jail right now.
I haven't, but mom has. She is doing great. Please sm
don't worry too much about it. I know she just had to have a hysterectomy and then gets checked every 6 months. So far so good.

Right now I am sort of in a scare too. They found a lump in my left breast. Next step is biopsy since ultrasound and mammo were inconclusive. I have been reading everything I possibly can about breast cancer - and I'm worried, too!
Keep us informed. I know you are going to be just fine!
Haven't had cats in a while, but
what I learned was that the most likely thing is a UTI. The cat thinks the pain with urination can be escaped by finding another place to do it.

Or there has been a change in the litter and the cat doesn't like how it feels on the feet or smells.

Or there has been some big change that has rattled the cat, such as a new pet introduced or you moved or I suppose noisy construction, or something major like that.

A cat behaviorist said if infection has been ruled out, the best thing was to offer several litter boxes with different litters and see what the cat likes.

(Cats always want us to remember they are royalty and expect life to quietly revolve around them, lol).


No MRI yet and we haven't been in the woods
She got a few mosquito bites this summer but no ticks. There has been no bullseye rash or anything like that.

What were the Lyme symptoms in your 4-year-old?
I haven't regretted it one bit
I still spot for a day or so, nothing like before though. My only regret is not having had it done sooner and getting so anemic that I had to have IV iron infusions for 5 weeks...go for it, you won't regret it! Good luck!
I haven't watched it, but
I believe it's the real thing. I watch a lot of reality shows, but this one definitely didn't interest me.
Put a lid on the cage if you haven't already - sm
We have 2 hamsters, and the cat just sits on the kitchen table and watches them (they are on a little table in the kitchen). Provides her with hours of enjoyment!
Haven't heard of that but
you might want to have thyroid and ferritin checked.  I actually went to a derm doc for same thing, and he said it's been his experience that a lot of women with hair problem have low ferritin.  Mine was borderline-low, so started taking vitamin with a a little iron in it.  I probably haven't been getting enough iron in diet and stopped taking iron many years ago.  But I think mine is probably a combination of things, since I'm a lot older than you and all the menopause things figured in there too.  My GYN PA, before the derm doc,  basically said yeah, you're old with no estrogen left, think back to when your hair was in its best shape.  Yeah, I remember that when I was pregnant, but kind of patronizing attitude there with no help.  Yeah, I know I'm old, okay?  
Mmm. I haven't had that in years (sm)
I think I had it at a church potluck. I need to make it, I bet my oldest son would love it.
I haven't watched N/T yet
Unfortunately I've got a nasty cold and went to bed really early last night. I'm going to watch it this afternoon. I heard there were major cliffhangers.
I haven't been where you are but wowsers...
I would've had a breakdown simply between the bird cage falling down and the computer breaking down, so you are a WAY more stronger person than I!  That is an awful lot of stuff for one set of shoulders and I cannot blame you one bit for feeling stressed.  Sometimes it helps just to talk about it like you did here...at least to take the edge off a little bit hopefully.  I have absolutely no advice other than to say you indeed have my sympathy...yeowsers.
 
I haven't seen that movie, so I don't know
what part you're talking about.

I HATE watching movies on TV though. I just can't stand how much they cut out, and it always seems to be a part that I wanted to see. I either buy them or rent them. I do netflix and then I can get old and new ones, and I'm bad about returning them on time so the no late fee thing works well for me.
