In Reply to: been there, walked out and sm - wondering
I have actually been talking with domestic abuse shelters, am going to speak to my pastor today and am making arrangements to leave. What have I done to deserve my son to be taken away? I have protected him at every turn. He never sees any of the violence or disrespect his dad displays to me. Would it help you to know that I have hepatitis C from a blood transfusion years ago and would have no insurance if I leave? that has been a factor as well.

U SURE DID INSULT HER DH...read page 2 or 3
Not nice to insult birds like that. nm
!
If you insult someone of course they are gonig to react defensively (sm)
You started the juvenile bit by calling her looney! Don't be mean. Just give your opinion and don't discredit others.
I apologize. I was generalizing and I don't mean to insult Catholics as a whole.
It is my understanding there is a Vatican I and a Vatican II and that one is ultra-conservative and traditional and the other has sort of a more liberal (for lack of a better word) approach. So I am sure that not all Catholic churches and all priests are like this one priest.
Also I apologize for the homosexual/molestation remarks I made in my original post. That was uncalled for and was a terrible thing to say. Not all priests should be categorized that way. I was angry with this one priest and obviously didn't have a stronghold on my anger when I first posted.
Thanks for your responses and for not being offended. It would have been very easy to tear into me for my generalizations.
I have one more question. My son-in-law to be said something about if he and my daughter were to be married by a justice of the peace, they could still get married in the Catholic in the future should my daughter convert, but if they were to marry in any other church by any other man of God, there marriage would never be recognized in the Catholic church nor could they ever get married (again to each other) in the Catholic church. Is this true?
This is all just too legalistic for me.
Short answer: Yes, it's VERY rude. Long answer inside.
I wouldn't want my husband to ask, either. In fact, if he did and the people said yes, I still wouldn't go and stay with them, because I'd feel like they were pressured. Believe me, if they wanted you to come and stay with them at any point in the last 10 years, they'd have asked you. I, too, live near a vacation destination, and I hate it when people ask to stay with me. They're the rude ones for asking, but it puts me in an uncomfortable position of trying to politely say no. And it seems that when I do say no, the thwarted "guest" then complains to everyone else in our social circle that we are cheap, mean and unwelcoming.
Tell your husband to crack open the wallet and pay for a hotel.
Well, sorry but it's been the most interesting
and humorous thread on this board in a long time! lol
That is interesting! (sm)
My son and his girlfriend (early 20s)wizzed through it in a day.
My daughter, who just turned 20, wants to savor it, just like you. She is so sentimental because having just turned 20 and with this being the end of the HP series, she feels it is the end of an era of sorts. I believe she began reading HP in her first teen year, so this book was with her throughout all her teen years.
The other 2 are chomping at the bit to talk to her about it, but she's just taking her time...
Hope you enjoy it! I don't read HP, but maybe when I retire, I'll take it up :-)
Very interesting!
I haven't had a solid night sleep in YEARS. I wind up taking Tylenol PM here and there when my insomnia gets really bad but I'd be curious to see if it would help--price seems right anyway! My problem is I can't get my head to turn off...the voices...all the damn voices.
Wow, that's interesting
and something I never knew. My husband works at a car dealership and we lease very three years. I love getting a new car every three years. I'm due another one in December. On the other hand he has an older car that I'm sure we'll keep for sometime so we don't have another car payment.
interesting you should say that
My sister did this also when she was younger and she has such guilt from it. Years later when she found out she was pregnant, she had a lot of emotional issues; all related to the abortion. I think she feels deep down she was not deserving because of the choice she made so many years before; very sad to watch someone you love go through.
That is SO interesting.
I was born/raised in Miami-Dade. I moved when my son was entering HS and my daugher the 4th grade, a little over 10 years ago.
I left because of the educational system and because I couldn't afford to buy a house there.
When I read in your post that your kids did FINE, I thought to myself, that's because you are probably an awesome parent and your kids are probably pretty good by nature as well.
I'm sure mine could have gotten through it, but I would have been a basket case (single parent).
I moved a couple hundred miles north of Miami, then about 4 years later to a small town in N FL when my daughter was to enter HS, again for educational reasons. Not because the educational system was great, but because of the small town atmosphere, etc.
She did so well and she didn't get lost in the shuffle, although I doubt she would anywhere (very headstrong, vivacious, outgoig and involved). Anyhow, she's about to enter her 3rd year of college with a 3.8. Needless to say, I'm pround. I feel I was a good parent, but I give her most of the credit for just being a hardworker and good kid by nature (God gets the credit for the good by nature part, me thinks!).
I guess I digressed.... Just wanted to say, way to hang in there and congrats on raising kids in Miami LOL. I know it is possible to succeed in the face of a poor educational system, but I do believe it is harder and a challenge. I really don't think all the blame should be put on the educational system, though, because from what I saw when my kids went to school there, there was a problem with parent involvement, participation, or even knowing their kids existed. It started to become the school's responsibility to do everything basically for some of the kids and discipline was more of a concern than education. Which is why I left. My son had a class where 10% was teaching and the rest was the teacher yelling at the students.
And no, there was no spanking there. It was the small-town school that did the whoopins.
Again kudos for getting through it!
I don't get what's interesting or different about that. nm

Not at all interesting...
I am so sorry about Gloria but yes, it hurts when someone you love will not accept you. I am taking a chance here but I really do not care. I came out to my mom at 19 as she had gay friends. Her reaction was to drag me from psychiatrist to psychiatrist but in 1975 it was taken off the "mental, deviation" DSM. Even when I lived with someone for 13 years she did not acknowledge it - we were just roommates. She will never accept it and I respect that. We have a great relationship otherwise but its sad to think that she would rather see me alone and unhappy than to be gay. I am grateful though that all my other family members and friends accept me for who I am. It just saddens me that people cannot accept other people for who they love.
Very interesting
What a great way to think about our history. I wish I had your teachers. Mine made it so uninteresting. I struggled through both grammar and high school and barely passed. However my older sister had the same teachers I did and she excelled at it, so I have to admit that it probably wasn't the teachers but me. Just watching the series really makes you thankful for all our founding fathers did and all they risked. Your so lucky to live in Philadelphia. I would love to live back in that area. I grew up in Connecticut so we learned a lot about colonial days and what it was like. Plus my mom taught us all the skills they used to do (quilting, candle making, canning, etc) in colonial days. She told us if we ever get to a point where we don't have the modern conveniences of electricity or heat or cooking on an electric stove we're going to have to know how to survive. I now live in Oregon and I sure do miss the east coast. I think as I'm reading about history now I will think about your comments about putting things in perspective. My DH says that too. I am definitely getting David McCullough's book now and looking forward to the read.
It will be interesting to see what the
investigation reveals. As of yet, they have not found the supposed girl who called in, so we have no idea what is true and what is not true. We have no idea if teenage girls are married to adult men. The point of the investigation is to discover whether that is true. Personally, I think it is best to wait before making a judgment about that. We all know the media is far from accurate these days.
Interesting...
I would like to know more about your gift. When did you discover you had this gift. How does it manifest itself exactly? Do you have dreams foreseeing future things.
I have a friend who has episodes far and between. And she has dreamed different friends of hers were pregnant and she would find out later that they were and she has had other dreams more real dreams of things that made no sense but then later something would happen that was from the dream. Very weird. She was totally freaked out. It happened a lot while she was pregnant. But then after she had her baby it hasn't happened anymore.
Wow, that's really interesting! sm
i have one bassett that is scared of fireworks and i have another bassett very scared of thunderstorms. he gets so scared and shakes, his teeth will actually chatter. i feel so bad for him. i'm going to try the peppermint oil. thanks for the information!!!
That's interesting
I've never heard that done. I'm happy it's on a Friday night. That means no rushing around trying to get my youngest home and ready for bed so she can go to school in the morning.
Interesting, thanks.....nm

most interesting job
was working as a computer trainer. We were contracted to the National Park Service so I would travel around to various national parks and teach the staff. The best time was when I went to Ellis Island. It was under renovation at the time, but they put a hard hat on me and gave me a private tour. I got to go into the holding cells and see the messages written on the walls in all kinds of languages.
The worst job because it was so boring was when I worked for the Wall Street Journal as an advertising secretary and there was nothing to do but answer the phone a couple times a day and type a letter or two a week. I started going to night school and would do my homework all day at work. Boy, would I love a job like that now!
This is all very interesting...
I just moved from near Seattle--across the sound, and I thought that I hated it there. Went to Mississippi and was very very hot for a couple of months and now I am in Nebraska where it is very very very very cold!!! Tell you what--Seattle looks better and better every day!!!
You have said something interesting
I had not heard of the cleaning situation at all and probably my DH has not either. Like backwards typist said, the convenience thing is something I desire. I hate to waste water and from 1 end of the house to where the water heater is some distance. I will certainly tell hubs about this and thanks for the information as something had not heard.
Thanks, that's interesting
I didn't know about the yogurt. I'll have to pass that information on to him. Well...there are sometimes maybe when I might want to give him a pop in the nose. LOL. No bashing here.
An interesting example of AI

Isn't it interesting they say it may fizzle out and emerge stronger in the fall...when they've said the vaccine they're developing should be ready in September?
I think it's just going to fizzle out PERIOD but the pharmaceutical companies want to get their big money windfall from people's fears.
Interesting!
I will have to put Alka-Seltzer in my list of tricks for this. How did you think (or hear) of that?
I know the acid thing is not supposed to cure it (but only help prevent it), but I swear lemonade cured mine once.
Yes, he IS quite interesting...
... that photo shows up as greater than life-sized, at least on my monitor... In real life, he's... oh, maybe 5 inches long without his tail. And you might not guess by looking at the picture... but everything on him, head crests and all, is SOFT. The only hard things are the claws (which are too tiny to dig in) and his teeth (he's gotten sassy and tried to take a chunk out of my finger a couple of times).
Interesting article...

I find it very interesting that
one small comment about something can offend people so quickly!
VERY interesting! I had an older get get the same - sm
symptoms you describe after a minor procedure under anesthesia (teeth-cleaning). She wobbled around for 2 days, then I took her back. She was very dehydrated, so they gave her a shot of water under the skin. Don't know if that's what helped her, but by the next day she was better, and the day after that she was fine.
This is very interesting on this topic

It's interesting how some presume to know
everything about soneone and their family just by heresay (the media).
Maybe she is a terrible person and her husband is Father Of The Year and it's your right to state you opinion, but you don't know her or her husband at all. The media, especially the entertainment media, is not always a reliable source of correct information.
SIL, not so strange but interesting.
His name is Craig and his twin is Cliff. Creative mom, huh!
Wow, it's interesting to see the different prices sm
Thanks for sharing your info on the hair cuts. I'm from Missouri and they are running on an average of $20 for wash, cut and dry. I never really knew if I was tipping enough or not.
I don't think Ryan is an interesting
host at all. The show spends too much time on babble. I don't know what I'd do without DVR to speed through all the drivel.
They should have gotten Tom Bergeron.
Interesting question!
I have really lightened up over the years. My political views are way more liberal than say 5-10 years ago. Home decorating has made a complete turn from that cutsie country stuff to a bit more upscale bohemian look.
And my clothing styles have made a big change. I guess along with my political views, my wardrobe has become less stuffy too. My clothing style is more fun than it was when I was younger and I regret missing out on the "fun stuff" when my body was in better shape!!
Here is an interesting site

My DD loves hers. Interesting. nm

Sounds interesting..but I would ask your SIL since she already has one for her son..
she probably knows more details about it
Sounds interesting
Would you like to share your recipe?
Very interesting. thanks so much for that info!!

Interesting. My mom used Vicks on us for everything.
The joke was that Mom thought Vicks VapoRub could cure cancer! I remember her rubbing my chest with it in great gooey gobs all over my chest which made my pajama top stick to me. She also had a special humidifier, which was a huge glass jar with some sort of heater attachment on the top. Steam rose up from the jar and passed over a little reservoir of Vicks. The result was something akin to a Vicks potpourri. But that contraption got really hot, and I remember getting scald burns from it when I got too close. Ahhh, the good old days! :)
interesting question. but how often
do you KNOW if a woman has had an abortion? Personally, i treat all people with at least a civil respect, unless they themselves give me reason not to. For example, as much as i abhor those that molest children, we have a couple of them living close by and i still speak to them kindly when the situation presents itself. As a Christian, i try to treat all people with a Christian love.
I find it interesting that noone...
seems to mind the laws disallowing polygamy, but get all upset if a law passes that disallows homosexual marriage. Why is it okay to force values on one set of people and not the other? Personally, I find them both offensive, but just thought that many who say that gays should be able to marry whomever they want, do not believe that consensual polygamist marriages are okay. I would think that by this way of thinking, anyone could marry whomever and however many people they choose as long as it doesn't affect you personally. Actually, making such marriages legal would at least cut down on the Welfare fraud, which is the problem I have with polygamy.
Here's an interesting article to read.....

Just found this site...looks interesting

Free is good, and it looks like there's pretty good support.
I could stand to lose some weight, myself. I think I'll be joining soon. :-)
Interesting front garden
Interesting use of wooly thyme.
That's interesting. I wonder if you have a wheat allergy
as well as being sensitive to milk products.
