One major suggestion
I would not be consulting juvenile authorities for a 6-year-old's behavior issues.
At this age, she needs to be seen by a child psychologist or psychiatrist who can diagnose the issue and outline a treatment plan.
This is not an unusual problem. She is a child and a conscious is something that is instilled by caretakers...it is not an automatic self development.
Please seek care for her behaviorally - not in the courts at this age.
This major lawsuit had to do with--sm
the insurance company (SF) stating that they would cover and *wind damage* done by hurricane Katrina, but not flooding, as they had no flooding insurance on their policies, but the lawsuit contended that the flooding was still due to hurricane Katrina and should be covered. they won that case, but there is still some hassle over it because a judge did not like the way the wording read concerning some people who filed claims, but did not sue the insurance company. In my opinion, these insurance companies take peoples monies for years and do who knows what with it, and then when something major happens and people need help, they find all kinds of loopholes to not do anything. That is what insurance policies are FOR! but as far as bleach on a rug...no, if I were the insurance company involved in that, I would not pay either. jmo.
Definitely make major changes...
First, I would quit transcribing.
I would establish a foundation to pay for surgery for children and adults with maxillofacial deformities.
My second foundation would help older women - over age 40 - who want to go back to school or want to get some training for a different career.
My third foundation would help working class families send their kids to college.
I would buy a nice house (not a mansion) on a very large piece of land, where I could not hear my neighbors' noise. That house would have a huge library filled with my own books and another room would be a fitness center with a treadmill and some strength training machines. Oh, and I would like to buy a Schwinn bicycle.
When we had a major ice storm last
February, schools were let out early (10 a.m.) and the info was posted on a crawl at the bottom of the TV and on the radio. No parents were called.
I would have had a different college major - sm
and been smart about saving money then and not getting into debt....and not picking the loser guys I dated until I met my husband at age 29. ---though had things been different I'd probably be married to someone else and have two totally different kids which are the 2 things I would not want to change--
Look at his name-"Science Major".

I never work on major holidays...
because I work for a small company that closes for all major holidays. I've been with them for almost 2 years now and they are definitely one of the best! They even send me a Christmas gift every year! I would never sign up to work for a company that was open on holidays, as I have no desire to work on holidays.
just had a major lawsuit ruling
but these are mainly people down in the coastal areas whose homes were completely leveled or not habitable. Insurance companies should be ashamed of themselves...some of these folks have been paying the same company for 40 to 50 years and when they need them, they get screwed. I hope the homeowners actually get the monies so they can get what should have been theirs in the first place.
We lived further inland, so the winds were strong enough to blow off a roof, or blow rain under a roof, or turn trees over on houses and crush them, but not level a home....but every time a wind comes up or it rains heavy, everyone holds their breath because trees now have weak roots and are easily toppled over, even 2 years later.
Thanks - that is a major factor in my decision (sm)
My children. I feel like I am choosing between my happiness and theirs and of course they should win. They are happy now, but if they had to have visitation with their dad - who is definitely a control freak - I worry about their happiness. But is it better for them to visit him than to live with him. And wouldn't I be showing them that you don't have to live like that by leaving??? it's so hard!
My daughter was about to have major surgery
2 years ago and the surgeon always made me feel like we were keeping him from something more important. After waiting in the waiting for at least an hour at every appointment, it was discouraging to have him rush in and out in 10 minutes, considering the procedure she was going to have. Anyway, at our last appointment before the surgery, we had a PA who actually spent time with us, explaining the surgery in detail and answering all our questions. I was thrilled.
I have also had my share of not great PAs, but this guy wasn't one of them.
Well, if I get a major inheritance, I'll be there

Got to vent. I just found out that a major supermarket
chain where my husband works will be open on Christmas Day. I think it is absolutely disgusting that they would take this major holiday away from their employees. There is absolutely nothing in a grocery store that is so important that it has to be bought on Christmas Day. For pete's sake, if you don't get it before Christmas Day, you don't need it very badly.
I just went through some major stuff that i think may have been related to fibro. sm
I took every narotic you can think of. lortab helped me the best without knocking me out. FYI, it did cause nausea so then i backed down to half a tablet. everything else put me to sleep. i did take BC Powder two of them and that helped some, but gave me an ulcer too so guess you gotta decide what is worse. for me, not being able to work was worse so i needed relief. i also used a heating pad and rice sock when i had to stay away. nothing took the pain totally away though. finally got a medrol dosepak and it cleared up for the severe part anyway. at least i can function now. email me........
I'm in complete agreement. If major problem, everyone

My son is a PreMed major and loves this show also....sm
He is hoping to get in Medical School there at Hopkins. Great reality show for the HealthCare Professional.
I was an animal science major in college and...
my poultry professor said that fresher eggs are harder to peel. The problem is that you can't tell from the store which the older eggs are because when they expire, they just repackage them with newer dates and send them back out because they only go bad if there is a defect in the shell.

I worked for a hospital where the major baseball team
here in town used. I had access to all patient information including the telephone numbers and addresses. My daughter, at that time teenager, begged me for the address of a certain big time player who went on to marry Hallie B but no, no- was not gonna put my job on the line. I knew DD could easily turn into your stalker girl!

Bringing Lost discussion up to top of board (major spoiler alert)
Okay, all you "Lost" fanatics, what are your theories now, and how have they changed? Who or what is Jacob? How did the "original inhabitants" of the island get there? They are mostly Caucasians with American accents, with a few exceptions. They don't look like the usual types of people who are native inhabitants of Polynesian islands - if, indeed, that is where the island is.
Why were Jack and Juliet keeping secrets from the rest of the group? If they had been honest and up front from the beginning about Juliet, maybe they could have all figured out a way to foil Ben's plans without bloodshed.
And will the island heal Locke? Obviously he is of major importance - I don't think Ben heard Jacob at all, and he was jealous and afraid when he realized Locke heard him. That's why he shot him. Ben is turning out to be an even bigger weasel than before.
And what exactly was the Dharma Initiative studying? Does Ben really know? After all, he was only a "work man" like his father.
For every answer, there are a dozen new questions - at least! 
I used to do plainclothes security work for a major upscale dept store - sm
Summer was my best time to arrest the teenage girls. They did not seem to take it seriously until the police showed up to take them downtown. I did have a few concerned mothers come by the store to speak with me. Just a lot of temptation out there...I would say to be very suspicious of clothing and such that seems to appear without having the money to pay for it.
I used to do store security for a major department store - try this -
Go to the store and ask to speak with someone from the security department. Tell them what you have stated here. Hope they are able to help you!
well....it depends on how you look at it.
I think your Halloween decorations sound great!! Pretty spooky, IMO. It depends on how you look at the situation. Halloween, in reality, is not just a fun holiday. It actually stands for All Hallow's Eve and if you are into pagan religion this is your favorite night of the whole year...it is the Devil's New Year. We have been celebrating this holiday forever, but just for fun and tricks, BUT...at the same time pagans have been celebrating "the new year."
The preacher as well as God's people come with responsibilities and duties to fulfill--a preacher just has a tougher role (leadership)to fill. Not my rule, God's rule.
At the same time, he is not supposed to totally interfere with your life. He should not judge you (10 commandments say "Thou shalt not judge") and if he has said everything you have told here, then he has placed a judgement on you, which he will be held accountable for. Sometimes Christians (regardless if Baptist, etc)can get themselves in major trouble just by the way they word something. In reality, what he should have done was just prayed to God for your family (not saying anything bad about you--just what he or any Christian who feels offended in some way should do)and asked God for His help in dealing with his feelings towards your decorations.
Hope this helps!! Have a great day!!
Depends where she gets them. sm
We were in California, and she bought from some costume firm in Chicago. Usuall ran anywhere from $60 to $90 for costume for each recital.
$54 for six weeks is a decent price. Sorry you can't watch. We were always allowed to stay for the session, and show up at the end and watch. That seems strange to me.
It depends.
I have one on right now but some days the girls breathe
It depends on the kid (SM)
I have 3 girls. They are all so different that they cannot be grouped by behavior based on their gender alone. The oldest has so much 'tude and is quite difficult. The second is a breeze. The third, well, she's 1, so I don't know too much yet, but she seems to be the easiest of them all.

My newphew is on it and has lost almost all his weight. He had tried several things, including So. Beach, but nothing worked. He had gained weight after knee surgery, etc. - needed to get it off because his work is teaching martial arts!
He says the food is good. It is costly, however.
I can't afford it, so I'm just counting calories and keeping a food diary. I just write down the time, the food and the # of calories I eat throughout the day. Putting it on paper keeps me honest and I like trying to keep it at 1200 or less calories a day.
depends on what you are looking for
and how old kids are. Cape Cod, White Mountains/Conway NH, Maine seacoast, Olde Orchard Beach, Boston, Lake Winnepesaukie (sp) in New Hampshire.
That depends... Here is a tip
Contributions can either go to a general fund which goes toward regular expenses, i.e. lights, cleaning, etc. You may also designate that contribution to a special program, i.e. youth department, sound system, etc. All contributions that are designated can not be spent on anything else except for that particular program. As for the cards, that is a personal decision. Generally, a card to the family addressed to the spouse is sufficient. My suggestion would be to mark a date on your calendar a month from now and do a follow up call. See how the family is doing and check for any specific needs. Often times they just need to talk.... so be available.
I not sure but I believe it depends
on the risk level. There is a sex offender living directly behind us. He was a high school coach and had an affair with a student. She was 16 or 17. Her mother found a ton of revealing love letters between them and she gave him warning once if it did not stop, she is going to turn him in. It did not stop so she turned him in. The gal was willing but still he was the adult in the situation and he should not have taken advantage of her. Anyway, I have seen him exercising in the park. I don't think I have seen him at ballgames though.
I think it depends on the kid...sm
I have 3 and of course they all have different personalties. My oldest DS started about the age of 2 and he was a snap. Then my DD came along and she was, and still is, so stubborn and strong-willed. She was probably almost 3 before she was potty trained. Then youngest DS was probably 3 1/2 before he was out of diapers. Never thought I would get through those days, and now they are 20, 17, and 15.
Depends . . . . sm
Is it just you? If so,I'd wait and draw full plus work. If you don't need the $$,go ahead and retire. I'd probably wait anyway because I don't know what I'd do with all that free time!
Depends -- they may not
Insurance laws have changed but when I worked for an insurance company you had to be covered by that insurance company nine months for the birth to be covered. Otherwise everyone would go out and get insurance during their ninth month. But since they have that new law with continuous coverage and if it is a group plan, it might be different. You have to be upfront about it, cannot hide it so might as well call your new insurance and ask them but be sure you get a manager or someone who knows what they are talking about, see something in writing about what is covered on your new plan, etc. It should be in there. But do not be shocked if it is not covered because like I said, they sometimes do require nine months of coverage or else they call it a pre-existing condition. Also lots of times they will not cover the pre-delivery testing either. Again, get some information from your new company so you can decide if you need to COBRA over or not. Good luck, let us know what you find out.
It depends
I think it really depends on who the boys are and how well you know them. When I was a kid, I only had guy friends so there were no real sleepovers with the girls and my guy friends would never have dreamed of doing anything rude or anything to me to be afraid of. I am only 30, so it wasn't that long ago. I think it would depend on the girl and if I knew the boys she hung around with. Obviously, you wouldn't want her to do that with boys she didn't know or couldn't be trusted, but I never had friends like that I was close to. I know a 19-year-old who is the same way and is the daughter of one of my good friends. She has a several best friends who are boys and my friend never had to worry about them sleeping over or camping or going out of town. I wouldn't say no if you know them and you know your daughter. it would be different maybe if she was going camping with her boyfriend or with strangers.... then I might have to think about whether or not that was really okay with me as a mother in your situation.
It depends on the day.
School mornings are crazy so its usually a granola bar, pop tart, piece of fruit or something of the like and then maybe a mid morning bowl of cereal, oatmeal, or cream of wheat.
On weekends my hubs is usually the one up early so he usually makes a traditional-type breakfast with eggs, hashbrowns, bacon, etc. or pancakes, french toast, or waffles.
During the summer I went through a homemade egg mcmuffin sandwich phase. Those were quick and easy but not quick enough for school mornings.
Funny, we had breakfast for dinner last night. Scrambled eggs with cheese, hash browns, toast, bacon, and OJ. It's been a long time since I have done that and I told my hubs this should be a once a week dinner. Its so simple, easy, and healthier than a lot of other stuff. Besides kids love it! :)
Just this morning I was thinking I need some new ideas for quick mornings but i hate buying prepackaged stuff like poptarts.
Depends. How old is he? sm
Will you incur penalties? Can you roll it over into something guaranteed? Depends on your situation.
QVC...depends
Well, the sets I saw are "cheaper", but not the "same" set you find from American Girl directly. I.e. The Molly doll came with a cuople of outfits, a stand, a couple of books, and I think her pet, which not the exact same set. So it is more than just the doll and one book, but less expensive to get all of that stuff it comes with separately. The doll and book alone from american girl is less $$ but does not include the extra outfit, etc. I didn't watch when it was on in Sept., so maybe they have other accessories or furniture on the show too. I am guessing they sell out fast! Also, if you have not done this, check out the American Girl website for the sales and monthly specials. Over the summer, I got a $40 toboggan for $20 - of course you do have the shipping charge but still cheaper. So they do have some good deals there too, just that there may or may not be an item to go with the doll you have or are looking for...
It depends on what you buy.
My in-laws lose power all the time so they invested in a whole house generator that is built in so all they have to do is flip a switch and their power is back on. They run everything and you can't tell any difference. It cost them thousands to do this but they saved to have it done before retirement.
Prior to that they had the generators you buy at the hardware store and it only ran the refridgerator and heat. You could add the lights for a short period of time but they were very dim. Those they had to fill with gas every couple hours and it was a lot of work.
That reminds me to charge up my other computer and cell phones too.
I'm somewhere in PA, depends what
TV news you listen to; i.e., Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (3 stations), Phila., Lancaster, etc.. LOL
I'm closer to the Berks/Lancaster area and nobody ever heard of vinegar on scrapple. I grew up that way. It does give a bit of zing to the scrapple yet doesn't hide the true flavor.
We grew our tomatoes in 5 gallon buckets this year. They did really good. You could do it too. We experiment every year with 1 or 2 plants to try to get fresh tomatoes through the winter. Did it 1 year a long time ago, but failed to write down what we did, so we've been testing and testing..
Depends on their age and I think I would
let them ask. My ex told my daughter about some stuff that she didn't ask about, which I really did not appreciate. If they ask I wouldn't lie, but I would not volunteer anything.
I think a lot depends on what
others did for you. Did they call and offer their condolences? Did they see you in person and express their sympathy. In this cyber age, cards seem to be a thing of the past.
My neighbor (friend and hair stylist) recently lost her father-in-law very suddenly. I have been friends with their family for years, including the widow. I didn't realize it until just now, but I never sent either of them a sympathy card. I did, however, make 2 trays of stuffed shells and pumpkin pie (it was in the fall) for both families. The items were very much appreciated.
I would try not to take it personally, especially if some of these people acknowledged your loss personally. As far as not giving cards, that's up to you, but I do what I do because it makes me feel good -- not because I expect something in return. I certainly don't mean that to sound harsh or offensive, it's just how I feel.
I'm very sorry for the loss of your mother. I can't imagine how painful that must be. I'm sure she loved you very much!
Well now...that depends
MC and Visa can still be accepted if you refuse to show id and the card is signed. Of course, if you haven't signed the back, it could probably be refused as tender because of the disclaimer "not valid unless signed" on the back of your card.
Other cards, other rules.
In several states you can be asked for id, but it is illegal to write any of the info on the receipt or make a copy. That is a big no-no. There are, of course, exceptions if you are using the cc for things like security deposit and so on.
As a note, my nationwide company does not require us to check id if the card is signed and the signatures match. If it is unsigned, we are supposed to ask for id--going back to the "valid card" issue.
Also, if you are really that upset about having to show id I would suggest using cash. It's awfully difficult to commit id fraud with that :)
It depends
The first sentence would be a fact (if it's assumed that the person saying it is sincere).
The second could be an opinion since it is speaking of someone else's preferences. Does the person making the statement know for sure the mom feels that way (fact) or just his/her perception (opinion)?
Funny how almost anything can get confusing when dissected.
well, that all depends on the kid, I think
I'll try not to make this too long, but my son is borderline autistic/asperger's which we did not recognize until he was into his 20s.
Incredibly intelligent kid, self-taught. For all intents and purposes, and I shan't go into detail, he dropped out of school in the 8th grade. He got his GED when he was 19 in the top 90th percentile.
But he still did nothing with his life.
I'm a single mother so I know I over-compensated due to guilt and didn't force him to do things, but he was such a loner, never causing any problems or even causing a stress on finances. Just food. He had his computer. That was his life.
He found a GF through the internet. A college student in our community. His sister, younger, followed the natural course of things and began going to college. So... he had 2 girls in the house in school, great achievers, his GF w/4.0 and his sister with 3.8 and both LOVING school (sister now is away at college, a senior).
He entered college 2 years ago with intentions of becoming a teacher. He has come out of his shell. He is still short of terrified of social situations, but I can't help but think what would have happened if he was forced into any situation that he wasn't ready for or comfortable with.
Your have to listen and know your child. If they are using your home as a shelter to do nothing, and you know they have the ability to do otherwise, maybe you should give them other guidelinen besides following the rules... or if you think they need that shelter emotionally for any reason, you should listen to that too.
In my heart, I knew my son's intentions were not to mooch off me for the rest of my life, but I just didn't have what it takes to push him into doing what I knew he was capable of doing. I just knew somehow he would.
Now he's right up there with the girls. After 2 years, he's at a 4.0 too and pretty much loving school.
Yeah, my kids are welcome here as long as they need to be, but if the circumstances were different, my answer would be too.
Depends...
Is the account verbatim where no matter how ridiculous it may sound, unless it's simply a 'right/left' or 'he/she' change, the MT is supposed to mindlessly transcribe whatever is dictated? You do indicate that is precisely what is dictated.
Hard to find fault when MTs have it driven into their heads to not use their brains and transcribe whatever the clinician says.
IMHO, can't ding her AT ALL FOR TRANSCRIBING WHAT WAS DICTATED.
C'est fait.
Depends
Used to be every year, now it's every 2. I get the written prescription & then get my contacts online. MUCH cheaper. Don't let the optometrist tell you they can't write you an rx just because they don't want to lose out on their enormous markup.
depends where you have it sm
There's "bridal bingo" where you make up a puzzle with bridal stuff crosswords, and the first one to fill the card wins a prize.
I thought it was tacky but at tables of 6-8 each table had two rolls of toilet tissue which to me was disgusting until they said "dress only one person at the table as a bride" and it was really funny, they had a lineup of the "brides" with 1st and 2nd prizes, some were quite crafty, although these were crafty fashion people. It wasn't as tasteless as it looked, it was just that I never saw rolls of toilet tissue placed on the table before. I would have liked a roll of tape on the table, it was difficult to make knots. I did a "veil".
Another idea is to pass out the envelopes to thank you cards, have each guest write their snail male address as they "address" the envelope and then pull for a prize or prizes. This way the bride has everyone's address and all she has to do is write the thank you note afterwards.
For me it depends....sm
For me it depends on who the friend/relative is. If its someone I'm very close to who has the room and is cool with us coming in and out then I don't mind staying with family/friends. But, if its someone I'm not all that close with (like some of my cousins or aunts/uncles), then I prefer to stay in a hotel. For me it also depends on my length of stay on vacation too. :) But, here in the last few years, I couldn't afford to travel without the staying at relatives thing, so I made sure I was absolutely no inconvenience, but I still had a great travel time and a token of my appreciation to my relative who let us stay with them for a week. :)
Depends on how low you want to go
Keeping in mind the average kid taste buds, pastas are always a good cheap choice- a can of cheap sauce, a pound of ground beef (or meat of your choice), and a loaf of bread, and you've got a meal for under $10 and most kids like spaghetti. Mine were fans of stroganoff, which isn't too pricey- 1 pound of cheap meat (you can even use stew meat if you cook it slow), sour cream, and beef broth, served with noodles or rice. Stir frys are meals that stretch pretty far- a couple of cut up chicken breasts or beef, a bag of frozen vegetables, and some rice. Kids seem to like tacos, but usually you can't make them too spicy; I used to get a whole chicken, throw it in a crock pot with a packet of mild taco seasoning, cook it until very well done, and then pick the bones (which is a task that the kids can help with, although you risk losing half the meat). Tuna noodle is also doable, but in making that exciting enough for an adult palate, you risk the kids turning up their nose.
Or you can go Ramen noodles for everyone, with an exciting new flavor every night of the visit!!
