have you ever had to struggle?
there was a time in my life when there was no way i could budget. incredibly hard to be a single parent of two children and not making enough money to "budget", trying to decide which is more important, the water or the electricity, and knowing every month i was paying more that the average joe just for the fact i didn't have the money to pay a lot of things on time which in turn led to late fees. i thank the Lord i got through that period of time. no fun worrying about how you are going to pay rent, utilities, food on the table for your kids and no public assistance, and it was especially nice when my car would break down.
you are correct. it is sad.
Did ya ever just wanna talk about nuthin' just to talk?
As I said before in another post, I miss everyone so much...
So, I have absolutely NOTHING to talk about. Love my new job, love that spring is on the way, and I love that my belly is absolutely filled up with pancakes my husband kindly made for me just now...even though it's lunchtime and not breakfast. I'm one of those freaks that could eat breakfast-type foods at every meal.
...and that reminds me that it's almost that time of year to order some baby chicks for next month. Laying hens, not for meat or anything, just eggs and entertainment. I can't wait for warm weather--it's been a long HARSH winter this year. In fact, I think we're due for another ice storm at the end of the week.
I hope everyone who stops by to read my note about nothing finds themselves and their families in good health. Miss you all, even the ones that can't stand seeing that "Hayseed" name up there.
Go try it, talk, talk and listen sm
Counselors are trained to "listen" and direct you to talk (not them). I have transcribed many, many mental health reports. They do dig deep and keep it going for a very long time, very long, usually (perhaps not for you). But if you both don't tell the truth, you are wasting your money, so why not just get it all out on the table and get it over with and get on with your lives? Don't pussy foot around, get it all out and deal with it. Gosh, life is too short to put on a show, it's not a dress rehearsal, it's life. Go forward, forgive, forget and forge ahead. Don't need a degree for that!! But a little help can't hurt. Might help.
On 60 minutes I think it was
they did a story on diamonds once and had some identifying mark or word etched on a diamond they were using. You could only see it with a microscope I think, or maybe a jeweler's loop, but interestingly the jewelers who were switching the diamonds out were not aware of the mark until it was shown to them.
3 minutes? LOL!! (nm)

I saw that a few minutes ago...
isn't that just awful.
80 minutes
With medical transcription, I have found that 1 minute is approximately 10-12 lines on a 65 cpl basis.
Just typed this a few minutes ago...

Good grief!
On Fox news just a few minutes ago sm
Man upset with his supervisor and shooted him. LOL--poor grammer for the whole world to see right on national TV. What is this world coming to? 
I use the treadmill 45 minutes a day
plus snow ski when the weather permits.... susan
Did you watch 60 minutes
What about the man with his theory of cancer? I think it's worth a try.
I use a TracFone. I pay only for the minutes I use. sm
I have a landline and DSL that costs me $70 a month. I need the landline for my computer. I am not too trusting of the Skype, Vonage, etc. You lose your power, you lose your phone.
That said, I use TracFone. It is probably one of the first ones made as I can't take pics, or 2-way, or do any of the fancy stuff. However, I have never had it let me down by not having any coverage and the calls are always clear as a bell. I would get another cell plan with more bells and whistles, but I just can't see being tied to a 2 year contract with hefty penalties for early termination.
TracFone also has some awesome deals on minutes, phones with lots of features, etc. The nice thing about a TracFone is that if you run out of minutes, you don't lose your phone number. And they also have coupon codes you can use to get extra minutes, or an extra phone, etc.

I caught about the last 15 or 20 minutes. Can't hardly
wait until next week. Maybe House and Cuddy will finally get together.
I have an elliptical machine, 30+ minutes a day...
on that and I have a Pilates machine, try at least 3 times a week on that for 45 minutes.
The last 15 minutes of Grey's Anatomy??
I missed the last 15 minutes of Grey's Anatomy last night and thought they would rerun it tonight like they usually do, but it wasn't on. So, will someone please let me know what happened? I turned to it to see Christina freaking out and Meredith cutting her wedding dress off of her, but I have no idea why this was happening! What happened to the wedding?? Thanks in advance!
Lysine--works within minutes (nm)
I live 45 minutes from Pittsburgh!
too bad we were not closer for a bike ride! I was just thinking I need to get acquainted with people that love biking and would love to stop for lunch and a cappuccino at a coffee shop on a chilly day! I live across from a great bike trail at a metropark and rode today for 1 hour. I plan on longer rides this weekend. it sure does beat sitting at a computer all day.
350 degrees - 25 minutes per pound SM
Put a rack in the bottom of the pan so the meat is not touching the liquid. Put about a cup or so of water in the bottom of the pain with some cut up onions and a little salt and pepper. Place the roast on the rack, fat side up. No need to cover the roast if you want a good crusty layer of fat on the meat. This also keeps the meat moist. 
That is so sad...it actually happened about 15 minutes from my house...
so sad....
Literally within 5 minutes of my post
the vet called. He knows this dog very very well. He feels that she is truely missing her mom and said that since she won't eat dog food and I am just going to have to give her people food. He said basically just set another place at the table. He gave me some suggestions on what to feed her and didn't want her just trying to exist on "snacks". We talked at lenght about her blood sugar and gave me his home number. He really is a wonderful vet, we take our animals to him so he is very familar with our family. I feel better now that I have talked to him. Thanks for the replies.
About 10 minutes away for me....I was a block away last night.

running out of minutes with a week to go sm
in your monthly plan. I have 1,000 minutes for $55, just got rid of land line 2 months ago and am very close to going over at a charge of 40 cents a minute. Geez. Guess I need to upgrade my plan.
I watched the last 15 minutes last night, s/m
I was completely disguisted by this. At the end, they show that the 2nd wife leaves him and then the 1st wife divorces him and is now remarried. Just from what I saw, I would have cringed watching the first 45 minutes of the show.
I have a Tracfone and don't like wasting my minutes....
I have one of the original TracFones and my fingers are too fat to text. The keys are too close together, so I don't bother with texting. LOL.
That would be why I would need a full keyboard if I were to ever get a lap top. LOL.

I would like to have a cell that carries the minutes over because I wont be using it much but
I dont believe Verizon carries their over. I do want a company with good sound and no dropped calls.
I live 20 minutes from VA Tech. This is so tragic. My son is a ......sm
junior but he goes to Roanoke College and still lives at home. I called him because I wonder if some classmates he graduated with were involved in today's tragedy. I feel sick inside. We take way too much for granted.
Get up frequently. Lay down on your bed for 15 minutes works wonders sm
and drink plenty of water. I'm very healthy, too, but found my ankles and fingers getting swollen from typing/sitting all day. I even tried Diurex over the counter which is loaded with caffeine. I figure I would ger my caffeine from my iced tea or diet Coke before I take that.
I am in Huntington WV, about 45 minutes or so from Pt. Pleasant. Some of the movie was

person. Jessical Hahn, Amy Fisher, etc., known forever for their sexploitation and scandal. They all play the poor victim, troubled home life, drug abuse, no one loves me - wah wah, poor babies- but sure are smart enough to make a buck selling their stories, taking off their clothes for magazines and then pleading to be "left alone" and then want to be taken seriously. Prostitute, high class call girl, escort, whatever, you can dress the pig up, but it's still a pig!

anything like that. I really believe he is either sick or he just wants a little one-on-one time with you.
GO GIANTS. Loyal fan. Live about 45 minutes from stadium.
What is going on with all the chili. That must be a Superbowl staple. We are having it too, Steak Chili, wings and salad. Some beer too. But before the BIG GAME, we are in the process of gutting our den. Wish I had the BIG SCREEN TV for tomorrow. GO BIG BLUE.
I'm 5 minutes from Ft. Benning. They graduate on Friday. It will be cold rain here sm
I, myself, and VERY disappointed that it did not snow. I've been here 10 years and have been praying for snow!!! It's only 38 now and won't get much colder than this all week - high in the mid 40s or so. Congrats to your nephew!
I agree. One I LOVE is that milky minutes, lactose intolerant one. sm
I snicker every time. If you haven't caught it...
Family around the kitchen table. Mom finds poker chips that are UNUSED CELLPHONE MINUTES in the garbage with milk on them.
WHAT are THESE?
Umm leftover minutes from last month.
These are still good! You know what happens to my sister's unused minutes?
She loses them
That is right, she loses them. My sister would love to have these milky minutes.
Hubbie: Isn't your sister lactose intolerant?
I love word games and double entendre, and creative use of the language, oddly drawn verbal conclusions and other oddities (hazard of my work?) so this one gets me smiling.
the length is about 80 minutes long, per the client, no special format.

Have a talk with your son
Any discussion or decisions about your son's feelings should be done with your son. This is an ideal situation to guide him in a positive direction. First of all, you are his mother and always will be. She may be doing the parenting tasks for now, and should be respected for giving of herself, but she should not interfere in your relationship with your son. Unfortunately that happens too often in families of divorce these days.
Ask how he feels about what is being said. Ask how he responds to it...or does not not respond at all. There may come a time where he listens to the garbage, then can stand up to her and say, "Aunt _____, I appreciate everything you are doing to help me with letting me stay here. There are some people who would not do what you are doing for me. But, my mom is my mom and I love her. She is always going to be my mom and you are always going to be my aunt. I feel I am lucky to have two different mom figures in my life that I can count on to help me learn how to deal with adult problems."
This sounds really dorky and I'm sorry others were as harsh towards you. I hope you put your own feelings in check and focus on your son's feelings as those being the ones that should be focused upon. He will be coming back to you one day, and everything that happens while he is away will stay with him. How you react is going to have more of an impact than what she says/does, especially when it is negative.
I know something of what you are going through. I am raising my grandchild. My ex's family did not speak to me for 10 years, but now that I have custody of my grandchild, for my ex's sake, they have been more genuinely caring and welcoming to me than my own family. There are a lot of words from the past being swallowed by my ex-SIL. I have proven that beyond myself, my decisions first reflect the best interest of the child. Everyone, even the child, feels it and knows it to be true. From that, respect is being rebuilt.
Good luck to you and your son.
I would talk to him/her
about the symptoms you are having and any family history of illnesses - more than likely they'll do some blood tests to rule out other things first. I had 11 of 18 trigger points on the day of my first visit - you can Google trigger points and it will tell you where some of them are and base it on that - but if your doctor suggests that it is all in your head and you continue to have problems please see another doctor - thankfully my doctor was very understanding and after I kept a log for 3 months of all my symptoms he then referred me on to a rheumatologist and this doctor has been wonderful - I see him every 3 months for routine blood work and medication adjustment if needed - they don't just dope you up on a bunch of narcotics - he also tries behavioral modification along with medicine - so I'm pleased .... Again best wishes.
Definitely talk to him
Sit down with him and tell him very calmly that you feel uncomfortable with this situation and ask him why he feels the need to do this. No matter what he says, keep your cool, and do your best not to say anything to make him feel defensive. Just be very clear about your feelings and your desire for him to stop this behavior.
To be honest, I doubt very much he will change, and I don't blame you for not wanting to live with this situation. The reason I am suggesting that you talk to him about it is to make it clear to him exactly what the problem is so that if/when you seek a divorce, he cannot claim that he didn't know there was a problem.
Internet addiction, particularly internet porn addiction, is a serious problem and is not easily "cured". I'm glad the two of you don't have any children. That will make things much easier, at least when it comes to legalities. Emotionally I know it is devastating, and I am very sorry you are going through this.
Not to talk about it
I have NO problem with the "poor" being treated medically or otherwise -- what I as an "American" have a problem with are ILLEGAL immigrants coming into this country and expecting things to be handed to them on a "silver platter." I have lived in Southern California, Nevada and NOW here in Miami and let me tell you if you DON'T speak Espanol in Miami, you are SOL!!!!!
I have also worked for state and federal agencies where I have seen minorities (excluding Caucasian women) getting preferential treatment.
Granted, this country was built on people immigrating to this country, however, it has now gotten to the point where our children and grandchildren have to learn to speak Spanish as THAT has become "the language of our country" and we as citizens are having all of our rights and laws taken from us -- for example, do a search at the state laws that "passed" as of July 1 -- Virginia's being the worst by far -- as AMERICAN citizens as well, we have by CONSTITUTIONAL law, the right to defend ourselves and our property, but those rights are slipping away as well.
Why? Because "All We Like Sheep" -- we need to learn that doctors and healthcare professionals are like we are -- I had one resident whom I kidded and joked that with his handwriting, he would never make it as a doctor because his writing was too clear -- stand up people for what you believe in -- look at the laws that have been passed and take it to your representatives, and forward -- THEN maybe when the voice gets strong enough, we can be heard as MTs and make a difference
Off DE soapbox for now
Talk
To the teacher, principal, someone at school.
Well of course I have tried to talk to him (sm)
For years...talked and talked, went to counselors, read books, prayed, begged, cried. It's not like I just pretended there wasn't a problem and started talking to other men.
talk a lot,
determine where your hearts and committments are. You can get past this and have a marriage better than ever, if it is what you both determine to do. Time and effort, not to mention prayer, can heal.
I think your best bet would be just to talk with the
facilities themselves. My daughter just had a $5000 medical (ER) bill that my interim insurance chose not to cover because of an exclusion rider (started new job, did not take Cobra but a private policy). I just talked to the hospital personnel and they sent us paper work to fill out to maybe help with the bill. Also, you can set up a payment plan of only $10 a month. As long as you pay it every month, they cannot come after you with bill collectors, anything like that.
Our local news had an article on companies that will negiotiate bills and the like for you, but a lot of them charge fees and are not totally on the up and up.
All this talk below
where my husband and I stand regarding number of times per week/month... whatever. We are in our early 40s and we do at least 3 times a week and he seriously thinks it should be daily. I think he gets it more than most; maybe not.
Talk about HOT!
Man is he hot! What's not to like about him. I heard shortly after he and his wife (don't know if they were married at the time), but they were selling something called "butt art". Like finger painting but with the other end. HA HA HA.
Anyone now a days in Hollywood that will come out and admit they have a problem and get help for them I commend them, unlike policians who hide it. :-)
I just saw him on David Letterman last week. He is still looking great with all the gray. Still as hot as when he first came on the movie scene.
