What an awesome idea!
I never thought of doing that! I grew up with a mom who thought cooking meals was opening a can of something teach myself how to be a better cook. I may try that this Christmas with my crock pot! That sounds wonderful.
Awesome Idea!
Great way to make a kick-@ss living! :)
I loved my speech therapist.
I stuttered when I was a kid. I *loved* my speech therapist! Once I won a tiny stuffed penguin from an game in the grocery store. I just had to give it to her.
On my my last day of therapy she gave me a *huge* stuffed penguin! :)
In addition to a gift card or whatever you decide, have your son make a card for her. You could also write a letter to her supervisor about her work with your son.
I've been working with a therapist for over 6 months
about her tendency to sympathize or empathize with me the way a friend would - like rolling her eyes if I complain about something, or laughing about the same thing I'm saying is ridiculous.
I realize she's probably trying to create the 'therapeutic alliance' and a comfortable atmosphere. But I'm suddenly really troubled that I'm paying money I can barely afford for someone to act basically like a friend. Last week I said I worked in a horrible, tacky part of city and she said "That area really is awful."
Later I wondered, why didn't she remain neutral and maybe point out that I see all neighborhoods I have to work in as hideous, depriving landscapes? That maybe it isn't a rational perception?
Do you think I'm right to mistrust this approach?
Have you spoken with a counselor, therapist, or your minister?
It would probably help if you could express your feelings out loud and get some feedback from someone who is trained to deal with emotional dilemmas like you are experiencing. I would strongly encourage it, especially since you have had thoughts of suicide.
Sometimes it takes a little while to find the right "fit" in a therapist or counselor. If the first one doesn't seem to be helping, try someone else.
I had similar feelings when my son was finishing up high school and getting ready to go on to college. The so-called "empty nest syndrome," I guess. But there are a lot of components to it. It's like redefining yourself as a person, because for so long you have been meeting everyone else's needs, and now you are starting to realize that you have needs of your own.
So what you need to figure out is what fulfills you as a person. What do you want to do with the rest of your life? Literally. Five years from now, what would you like to be doing? When you figure that out, start figuring out how to make it happen.
The best of luck to you, and please feel free to email me if you like. I'm still working on some aspects of my "mid-life crisis," but I have worked through a lot of it. I would be happy to provide a sympathetic ear. 
Sounds like you found a good therapist sm
we went through a horrible spell last year - daughter 17 wanted to get married a month before she turned 18, my husband supported this idea - she just graduated in May, no job, no license, no means of support and husband to be was just graduating, etc. They are good kids but very young. Husband supported her all the way and I was the bad guy for making her think things through hoping she would slow down a bit, etc. Therapist made her dad get more involved but they did marry and now she rarely if ever speaks to me - she looks at me as nonsupportive. Does not matter I busted my butt to see she had the wedding she wanted,etc. I'm just numb at this point with her - she'll come around some day. In the mean time the ocnflicts between me and DH have stopped but his nonsupport will hurt for a logn time also. I believe parents should always be a team.
I think you do have to go all out. A therapist and drug screen would be first priority nm

Looking for gift ideas for massage therapist and hairdresser -
I see the massage therapist every week (my treat to myself!) and the hairdresser about every 6 weeks for a cut. I really want them to know how important they are to my well-being, especially my massage therapist. You all have the best ideas. Thank you so much! 
Maybe joint counseling with his therapist for starters since his meds don't seem to be working. A

that's awesome- I know
if I ever find a man that is anything like my dad, I'm snapping him up!
awesome!
I think that would be an awesome gift especially if he is the only grandchild! I know my parents would love it!
Go for it!!!
that is truly awesome - nm
xx
That is awesome!
I'm being a smartass of course. Kinda creepy but yet sadly somehow not unexpected.
We have that on our Wii. It's awesome!

LOL awesome! :)

Good memories. Thanks for sharing! And how about sharing the recipe? Sour cream in cole Slaw? that's a new one I would be interested in getting. I love cole slaw!
Awesome! DO IT! DO IT!

Awesome
reminds me of my daughter
Awesome!!!
However, this chicken HATES open heights -- nebber in my life would I be able to do this but kudos to your kidlet!!!!
My guy is awesome too. sm ....
OP, you say overall he is a "good guy"; really he isn't or you wouldn't be asking about his behavior. "Good guys" beat their wives and emotionally abuse them too. Sounds like you are married a selfish, controlling man with a lot of problems.
Awesome!!
Congrats on your success, and thanks for the laugh.
Funniest part is I can actually see MYSELF doing exactly those things:-)
They were so awesome! nm

Awesome!
And so this free software and a foot pedal and spell checker is all I need??? I just can't believe that Express Scribe is free!!!
THAT"S AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!
we are super broke this year so that sounds fantastic!!! my 5 year old is crazy about legos so this sounds wonderful, thanks
!
that's awesome
what a thing to do for something you believe in!!! i think they are amazing little creatures... and i agree with the laugh and cry... at the same time!! :) have a great weekend
You are awesome! - thank you. I'm actually
going to take several of your suggestions and put them together. A bird house kit, a garden kit that you start indoors during the winter, and a subscription for some puzzle books every month! THANK YOU!!!
Awesome!
I have two musicians in my family (BF and oldest son, both guitarists) and these would make awesome gifts! I think the E-bay idea is an excellent one!
awesome
Sorry if I was quick to jump to conclusions or offended you.
That's awesome!
I have to wait until next year to have a garden. Long story, don't ask. LOL I'm going to definitely try that next year, though.
BAD idea! Terribly BAD idea!
This could not be worse of any idea. People need to worry about their own bodies, not what other women do! This is supposed to be the land of the free, but people are trying to turn it into the "the land of the free as long as you agree with me." It's a medical procedure and no one else's business period! For some women, it's a hard enough decision to make without having other people tell them how they should do it!
If you do not believe in abortion...great, don't have one, but mind your own business and leave other people alone that need/want to have one! Again, it's none of your business what someone else does.
I don't have any children and don't want any. While I always use birth control, that's not 100%, and if it failed, I certainly would get an abortion without hesitation. I much rather have women get abortions than bring a child into the world that they don't want and mistreat or that they can't pay for and stick ME with paying for it! There are enough leaches out there having kid after kid they can't pay for, and we tax payers are footing the bill. Enough is enough already!
How about all you people that but your nose into other people's business and don't want these women to have abortions pay my share of taxes too since you don't mind paying for all of these unwanted children!
That's so awesome - wish I had family like that! nm

awesome products
Just wanted to say thanks for trying to recruit me, but I am already in Melaleuca and I just wanted to tell you that I think these are also wonderful products and I buy them faithfully also, and I have to say that my favorite product is the laundry detergent. It gets my husbands greasy work clothes clean with just one squirt of detergent.
The stuff is awesome!
Works when nothing else does.

Thank you! Awesome post! nm

Awesome!!!!! You did the right thing actually!
Even though new is good, fixing things up on your own is even better! Anyhow, each new project will make you feel so productive! Good luck on your new endeavor and lovely new home! Here's to ya!
Awesome and lame
Awesome: Traveling Wilburys and their re-released albums. There is nothing better.
Lame: No more new Traveling Wilbury albums. Ever. What's even more lame is how underrated George Harrison is. But that's my opinion, coming from me, Apple Scruff. :)
awesome addendum
I already know I spelled awesome incorrectly.
Congratulations! That is awesome.
Tell him great job from me. You must be very proud.
That guy is awesome. My sister got a new dog -
2 years ago, and after her previous dog was kind've a head-case, she got his book and followed his methods. (She also started off with pupply obedience group classes.) It's a huge dog - half Husky & half Golden Retriever - and she is now the best behaved and most wonderful dog imaginable. I attended a pet parade with her and her dog that she was photographing, and some people's dogs were behaving terribly, but her Dog-Whisperer-technique dog was a total lady. She can take that dog ANYWHERE. But of course the secret is she is dedicated to training, and works with her at least twice a day on their long walks through the neighborhood.
Awesome information
Thanks for all of that. Very interesting. I am going to send it to friends. Wow, lots to know and working at home, I would have never known...we would have missed it! Plus, now I will be on guard for lunacy all around me! LOL.
Awesome snacks...(sm)
Crackers topped with cream cheese and pepper jelly.
you're awesome :)
I'm having my 28th birthday in less than 2 months and am getting so depressed about it. I just feel like im not where i should be at this point in life, but I HAVE a great life and an amazing family and have been able to do so much (whether that be going to professional sports events, disneyland, vegas, visiting my new niece regularly, etc.) and I know I am blessed. I just feel like I should have a home and a husband and a child... I know it will come when the time is right, but I am SO glad for this post because I feel like the older I get the more depressed I become about my age (even though I'm very happy). Thank you again and keep having fun!!! :)
Those are AWESOME names...sm
Our pastor gave our group the name The Lighthouse Gang, but I like you suggestions much better!!!
That is awesome advice...
Wish you were MY mother! ;-)
this is an awesome site!!
thanks for posting that. That's a great site and it's going in my favorites.
That is an awesome site! s/m
I've only glanced at it for 5 minutes, but will be back to look at it more. Thank you so much for the link!
You guys are awesome!
It totally breaks my heart that animals, not to mention the planet in general, are so victimized by our wasteful, gluttonous lifestyles.
I've turned into a fanatic about recycling but never knew about fusing those plastic Walmart bags! I usually gather a couple million of them up at a time and drop them off in the designated recycle bin at the store. I can't seem to remember to use my cloth totes when I shop, even though I keep them in the car as a reminder.
We have virtually no food waste as I have all kinds of animals that love leftovers, and what they can't have I compost. We have free weekly pickup of plastic, glass, aluminum and paper, but I try to avoid lots of packaging when I shop anyway. I make fire starters out of empty toilet paper and paper towel rolls by stuffing them with rolled up newspaper ads and inserts that show up in the mailbox, or with dryer lint. I used empty yogurt containers to start vegetable seeds in this spring and will re-use them again and again in the future.
We have a trash compactor, and this is kind of sick, but I find myself sifting through it to make sure no one has tossed something that could be reused or recycled. My biggest frustration is probably those plastic six-pack soft drink and beer holders that get caught around the necks and mouths of sea creatures and other animals. Those things should be illegal! I even pull them out of my friends' wastebaskets and cut them up.
I know I'm no help answering the original question, but the topic was too exciting to pass up!
Awesome game
Loved it, loved it, loved it!
AWESOME movie. One of my faves.
Such a great movie and you're right, it did not get the credit it deserves. It's one of those movies that we will always watch (when the kids aren't in the room) whenever it is on. LOVED it.
Awesome!!! Keep up the great work! nm
