In Reply to: Odd question about local channels... - sbMT

you're still in your recission period, call Dish Network and see if they offer the local channels in your area.  I have Dish and I know that it took them quite a few years to be able to offer me my local channels.

Boy I sure did YESTERDAY! Just signed on this a.m., haven't noticed yet. nm

Looks like you signed and are liable. Sorry you had a fever when you signed.

I agree wtih both
but I bet the most she will get is community service.
I had the same problem wtih both sm

of my 19-year-old sons at one time or another.  I just told them, here are the rules and if you don't follow them, you are out.  Believe me, your son will not go homeless or hungry.  They always find a way to take care of themselves if they HAVE to.  I feel for you, I think 19 is the age that STINKS.  He is only not :"working" because he is allowed to "not work."


As far as your daughter goes, I don't blame you for not wanting her to live there.  What a nerve racking mess that would be.  But, if you feel that is the only solution, then you will have to set rules before she ever comes in and brings the kids and DONT BACK DOWN!  Set her rent at what you feel it needs to be set at.  Think of it this way, if she wasn't living with you she would have to pay more or be on the street.  I know its hard, but these kids will take advantage as long as you let them. I know I have been there.


I don't have girls or grand kids, so I know that situation is different.  As far as the boy though, set your rules, stick by em and he will either follwo them or get out but he will survive.  For some reason, kids (boys in particular) who pull this stuff, manage to survive off their friends or whatever until they grow up.  Both my kids turned out just fine.  The youngest that caused me the most trouble is now married, is a firefighter and has his own wrecker/towing/repo service on the side.


This "mom" thing is not for the faint at heart is it?  Good luck


I have DirecTv s/m
and I do have what they consider "local" channels.  I am in Michigan and live closer to Flint than Detroit, but can only get Detroit channels.  I only prefer the Flint stations for things like weather.  It depends on who they have a contract with to get "local" stations.  I ended up getting a weather radio for severe weather as I do get paranoid about tornados!

I've had DirectV for years and love it. sm
AT&T recently offered me a free year of Dish, but I turned it down. I'm happy with DirecTV. Love my TiVO, too!
It was just signed here into law
in Washington state that it is illegal to protest within 500 feet of a funeral because this is the same thing that has happened in this state.  I am so glad it was signed just yesterday.  I think these people are full of hate.
THANKS , I SIGNED UP FOR IT nm

Have you signed up for
Facebook yet? You can sign up and invite friends and family to join too. You can share pictures. If you put in your location or school, you'll see links to others on Facebook in your area.
Thanks to both of you! I've signed up and am

We both signed an agreement that
I would pay for the setting up of the rescue group, license, incorporation fees, food, medicine and in return I would be able to rescue and interact with the animals. In the months since starting in January, I have only been able to pull animals 1 time. It is said in the agreement signed that should this be broken, then the monies I have spent would be refunded. I have spent out about $3,000- $4,000 and that was the agreement we signed and apparently by refusing to take my calls or emails she is breaking the agreement. Does not make me any more angry to ask.
and I assume they have all signed HIPAA
contracts!  Sorry about your loss.  That is a crowded workstation.  Why do my cats think they can sit in my lap while I type?
She ALLOWED it to happen. She signed for it.
She's no saint nor even a decent parent to not stand up for her child.

What a bunch of crap.

I got signed up 20 years ago at a presentation...

by a sister-in-law who had ties in Idaho.  You had to commit to buying so much product each month, the products - even the shampoos and laundry soaps - smelled horrible, and there was no money to be made.  Most people I know turn around and walk away when you start with the Amway, TEAM, Herbalife, Mona Vie, etc. 


I had a friend who got into Mellaluca 7 or 8 years later in a different state, and she tried to recruit me then, so we got to talking about how I had been there done that.  She never made any money either.  Just my experience. 


principal should not have signed the form
if the student was not allowed to go. By signing the form, he gave permission. Therefore, the student should have no problems getting his diploma. He has the principal's signature saying it was okay to go, which is better than words saying he should not go.
For several years I signed a permission slip
for a scoliosis test for my daughter. I know she has a curve. She has to go for an x-ray every year to see if there has been any progression,and there has been slight progression but not enough to do anything yet. I have never once recieved anything from the school stating that we should get this checked. School nurse has always said she was fine.
Just signed it and e-mailing the info to family and friends. nm

get your facts straight. Rosie signed a school year

that was when her original contract was supposed to expire, June 2007, a school-year yearly contract.  ABC wanted her to sign a 3-year contract for the amount of $$ she requested.........and she only wanted to sign a one-year contract.......


I will miss her as I had given up the View due to Star Jones' fiascos....and now, once again, after June, I will never watch it again.  Rosie brought the ratings up because after 9 years of Star Jones, people were tired of the show.


Ta-Ta to The View and ABC.....


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.

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!

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!
