Has anyone tried The Bean, abdominal exerciser? Effective? Worth the money?

I do believe in God, I don't believe he would lead (sm)
someone to have an abortion. I do think children can be born into bad homes that make them turn into criminals. I just think it needs to take a little longer to get an abortion, require some counselling about the possible emotional effects later for the girl/woman and the child's father as well. There needs to be more emphasis placed on people who want to give their children up for adoption. The whole issue just needs to be more organized and more controlled. There shouldn't be so many babies needlessly dying.
lol... at least there was no LEAD in it!
Lead in lipstick - what's next?
They mentioned brands like L'Oreal and Cover Girl. Are you starting to read labels? Ever read canned good labels - like applesauce - yep, China.
Talked to breeder, possible lead
I called my Misha's breeder to see if she had run into any diseases in her dogs. She figured out who the parents were and then remembered that her father, Bear, had lupus. Because his problem involved anemia, I believe she means SLE, which is the bad kind. But it does fit Misha quite well since it can cause neurological symptoms and other quirky problems she's had over the years, so I'm going to have them check her ANA. She's on prednisone right now, which is the appropriate treatment for SLE anyway. I think I can sleep now that I have a theory.
Talking to me about my smoking may lead
to burn marks on your forehead as I put out my cigarette. Oh, was that your head?
I just think you lead them there first, and let them learn for themselves what is right or wrong (sm
If you point out everyone's sin to them before they learn about God's love, they are going to run.
Some men don't see the little steps that lead to affairs...
What I am seeing that are red flags include...
1) She has chosen to discuss her relationship/marital problems with a married person of the opposite sex - this 100% creates an intimate situation between 2 people that should only exist in the relationship/marriage.
2) She has chosen to discuss her marital problems with her clients - this is not really appropriate client/professional behavior. She is looking for a personal connection with someone.
3) She has accepted a fairly large amount of money from a client given to help her personal situation and not as a professional thank you - this is setting up a deeper intimate relationship. She is looking for a provider.
4) Your husband seems to be filling a need to be important and a hero in someone's life by giving her this money (I agree with hero concept below but sex isn't necessarily the solution) - he is responding to the deeper intimate relationship. He is being the provider.
5) He is mad at you and telling you that you are being stupid about this - he is invested in this relationship enough to defend it.
For every step he takes forward, the relationship has a chance of becoming more serious. As each little step that he takes becomes okay with him, the next step is a little closer and a little more natural. While he may never get up 1 day and say I am going to have an affair, he is about halfway down the road and might not realize it yet.
I strongly suggest talking with him about it. Food and sex is a not a cure for this one. Make sure he knows that you are not comfortable with this and you are both done seeing this gal as a hairdresser.
How will our daughters learn to stand up for themselves if we do not lead by example
I have always stood up for my daughter and have tried to teach her the same and now that she is getting older I can see that it is paying off. You go girl!!!!!
im the one who started this conversation. things always lead to an argument on this board.
but, i have friends who never started teh santa thing, and then i have friends who still practice the santa tradition. i never questioned myself. i just did as i had been raised. but i understand how some people just dont even start santa. its cool either way. and no one has to agree...everyone is different, i respect differences. but there has got to be a cut off point for puplic school teachers, to step back and leave things for teh parents. yes other kids tell them the truth about santa and, at least i have taught my children that its "bologna..if they dont believe, they dont get presents...bla bla"..so tehy have no prob blowing that off. but when their TEACHER says it, it might as well be the GOSPEL. ya know.
Yeah. I dont wear lead apron, I just stand in other

Can you rent yourself out to me for a few
I would LOVE to pay you to come stay a week at my home and set my neighbors straight. I've started hybernating in my home because of the rude people who live around me. I wasn't raised to violate other people's home space or behave badly, but obviously that isn't the case with any of my neighbors.
Seriously, give it some thought and name your price :) :) :)
Only my rent. - nm
rent
We used to own a double house and we rented to this old lady who was just a wonderful tenant, so we never raised her rent from, I think it was, $375 per month, or some sort of ridiculously low rate. We lived in the other side with 2 children, so it was really important to us who lived next door. Unfortunately, she went to a nursing home, so we had to find other tenants, but we charged quite a bit more. If you are a really good tenant, I would discuss it with your landlord. It might be worth it for him to keep you and take the cut. If Helen had asked, we would have lowered her rent to keep her. If you are dealing with some sort of big rental company with hundreds of units, you might be out of luck, as they don't care that much who they rent to, as long as they get paid. Good luck. By the way, if there was any way you could possibly do it, look into buying a house. You are not going to get a cheaper housing market than now and it is not going to stay this way forever. Sometimes a mortgage can be cheaper than rent, but there are other expenses involved with owning, as well as responsibilities.
I,. first of all, would pay her rent until she
gets out of the 'hole'. I sure would not like to be your daughter.
would it be possible for you to take the rent money to her? nm
Can you rent a houseboat? Might
xx
It would almost pay my rent for a year.
Tell him you want $100 a month of that $180 he gets for rent. nm

Unfortunately, we're not rent-controlled here. - sm
A very few places downtown are rent-controlled, left over from the 70's, I think, but NO ONE moves out of a rent-controlled apt. there unless they DIE!
The recent prime-mortgage fiasco is compounding the problem. A LOT of people here lost their homes this past year, and now they're driving up demand for rentals. I just looked on Craigslist at an area nearby that was affordable, in the 700's-900's just last year, and now I notice that most of the rents are above $1600. That's my entire month's salary!
For that kind of rent, she should become a transcriptionist!
Sorry for the joke. I just had to throw this one in, just a bit of "sarcasm..."
BTW: Sometimes I feel like a call girl with the production work we do. "work it girl, go go go, get those lines!" LOL.
I didn't know you could rent generators.
That is a great idea. I'm sure they are probably all gone by now. We have been planning to get one but never have the extra money.
Thanks for the heads up on Sunday. I had no idea about that. We are in Southeast MI. I think it will be less here than most of the state but we don't live in a populated area and our roads are the last to be plowed and power lines are the last to be fixed. The toilet was a big concern, otherwise I think we will survive. :) Just might give the 10yo a run for his money with boredom. lol
Single moms - is it better to rent or buy? sm
I am separating, about to become a single mother of two children. I am wondering if I should buy a home or rent one. While buying seems like a good idea, I would also be giving a chunk of money for a down payment (which if I rented I could keep as emergency savings) plus I would be responsible to repair anything that might break. I would appreciate any advice on this.
thanks :-)
If you can handle the rent payment,
then let him move on and do not give him any money. Let him figure it out for himself.
That's right! If you rent it is NOT your 'own' home.
Would you charge 18yo rent?
Son is turning 18 in a couple of weeks. Has a part time job (going full time when turns 18 due to labor laws), no plans for college, not really sure what he wants to do, oh - and he has to go to summer school to finish a course and get credit for school.
So - would you charge rent when he turns 18 and if so, how much? What about groceries (he's skinny as a rail and eats ALL day long! ha).
I rent also and live in a huge complex
They hired someone to do the vinyl and afterwards they were installing the new doorbells. Well, they could not figure them out and while I was working the doorbell was ringing constantly! I went down there and started to explain to them and they could not understand me, not a word. I then called the company myself (got the name off the truck) and threatened to call immigration and explained that if these people passed the citizenship test surely they'd know a couple of words of English. Within an hour they were gone and have not been back. It was funny watching them hightail it out of here from my window :) LOL
If you rent movies by mail, which service are you using and

If you rent, it may not be allowed. Rotties, pits,
dobermans, chows, and german shepards are often on landlords 'not allowed' lists, for liability reasons.
I'm a dog-person, and have known quite a few rotts, and none of them were friendly to anyone but their master.
I think one of the best choices for a 'first big dog' would be a labrador retriever. Laid-back, not as barky, usually love everyone, great family dogs, yet big enough to possibly deter a burglar.
I have an 18-year-old daughter and we charge her rent...
I think it teaches them responsibility and what the "real" world is like, there is not a free ride and to be accountable. The rent we charge does include groceries, cell phone, etc. She just pays my husband and I a lump sum at the beginning of the month and it covers all expenses at home. She buys her own clothes, make-up, personal items and even helps with her college expenses at the local community college. I think it's a great idea!
Eviction. Foreclosure. Are you still in the trailer? Do you rent the land?

Donnie and shower. Go to movies or rent a movie?

I live in the south and my landlord told me NO SMOKING before she would rent to me...

As a landlord with rental property, tenants seem to "pay partial rent" or not pay at all sm
beginning around Nov or December (the holidays). Were they both laid off? Is there no income coming in? Even though I don't know the situation, I can guarantee you that the money was spent elsewhere and now they are paying the price. I'm sorry to have to say this.
My husband and I worked with a family on getting caught up and they were 2 months behind plus late fees (about 1,800) and it was right about this time last year. They had a great Christmas though!
I don't have an answer for you. I don't know if there is anyone who can help someone like your friend or my ex-tenants. Rent should be people's #1 priority and sadly, a lot of the times it just isn't.
lead in toys/Made in China...beware of Happy Meal toys
I watched a special on CNN yesterday about lead content in toys. I did not realize by your child simply touching a toy and putting his fingers in his mouth he could be ingesting lead. The special included a segment on a nice family that lived in a brand new home with a 2 year old and 6 month old. They both tested positive for lead. A 2 year old!!!! Worried, I went to my boy's toybox this morning and it is AMAZING how many painted toys are from China. Most notably this includes happy meal toys. I haven't gotten through one toy box and already have a trash bag full of toys. Please, please go through your children's toys. Lead ingestion can lead to brain damage. Be paranoid. Throw away all of the made in China stuff. Christmas is just weeks away--they will be getting new stuff (hopefully stuff that is paint-free!).
Your best bet is to buy made in the USA toys but even safer toys are unpainted blocks, Legos and books. A good, safe place to look for toys is www.mindware.com.
pass this on!
