lives 30 miles East of my parents. He does not visit, call, he is better than the rest of the family. Read my recent post above in regards to being a future felon. Yes, life is too short now isn't it?

I have a great brother like that too! I love my Big Brother!
Enjoy the love!
I have an older brother and younger brother
and I was a terrible handful, especially during high school compared to my brothers.
Let me clarify------
I see where you are answering a post, sorry not much sleep last night and see where that statement made, knew I did not make. Anyway, will keep eyes peeled for this kind of spam as well as scammers.
I should clarify.........
I didn't mean if a kid doesn't come out with straight As, they are not smart. What I'm trying to say is by the time they graduate, they should have a firm grasp on reading and writing, and at least a level of math where they will not be taken advantage of as adults. No one expects every kid to be a rocket scientist....heck, I wouldn't want to be that. I took higher maths and sciences because I expected that from myself, but that by no means implies that friends of mine who didn't weren't considered smart. I'm talking about kids who are 16 years old and can't read 3rd grade level. Some of the problem is parents simply aren't involved. There isn't a book in the house, not a newspaper or even a magazine. If a child never EVER sees their parents reading, where is the implied expectation of their children.. Some parents can't read either. So, if the parents know they can't read, then it is their responsibility to talk to the teacher, let them know this, and look for tutoring classes or other avenues to help their children succeed. Don't expect the teachers to do your job in other words... The teachers hopefully will have the resources to help you and your child. A teacher would rather you let them know this than have notes sent home not responded to and no test papers ever signed and returned. My daughter has some parents that she knows cannot read or write past a 5th grade level, and she accepts that, but that is no excuse not to encourage your child and do everything in your power to help your child perform at a higher level.
If they can at least read high school level, can put together a coherent paragraph, and comprehend what they read, they will do better in their adult lives than so many that haven't gotten that far. We have classes where we volunteer to teach adults who cannot read, and I applaud those adults who come forward....I can't imagine the amount of courage and inner strength that must take. They then go away able to read to their children and grandchildren and the joy is all over their face.
Remember the Wendy's guy? Dave something or another? He couldn't read all the way through high school and then managed to get through college without reading, all because he could memorize everything and pass his exams. Unbelievable! But everyone doesn't have that ability...I certainly couldn't do that. Smart to me means being able to read, write, and comprehend at a level where they won't be taken advantage of as adults.
I should clarify... sm
I was talking mostly about the different quality levels of dog food types *overall* (because of the posts about whether Iams was a quality food or not). When I mentioned brand names (like in the 1st paragraph of what I wrote) I was talking about kibble - *dry* dog food only, not canned. None of the dry foods have been on the recall list as far as I know.
I probably should not have combined the 'overall quality' topic with the topic of the recall. Sorry for any confusion.
BTW, I know what you mean about being skeptical. I'm feeling that way myself, and I also hope it gets resolved soon.
Just to clarify.....
This was a post responding to someone who had made a comment to my original post. I make a heck of a lot more money than $300.00 every 2 weeks. I think this girl needs to find another company to work for, unless she's just doing it for some "mad money".
I think I need to clarify.
In case my post was confusing, my 21 y.o. is not afraid of demons or any of the sort and neither is my little one. Once, the little one asked me (when she wasn't home) what were the worms on her legs as he didn't know they were called varicose veins. I explained to him what they were, what they were called, and that he had to be very careful around his grandmother not to hit her on the legs by accident. He has never gone up to her and asked her about the "worms on her legs" as he knows they are called veins. I have raised my 2 sons to be respectful and caring of other people's feelings. My parents never hit us when growing up and yet we learned to respect, not only respect towards them, but respect to ourselves. I have never in my life disrespected my mother or father, and neither have my children. Not all children are the same, some can learn respect without having to be spanked, whooped or beaten.
Ok, let me clarify (if i can...)
Maybe "date" isn't the right word...how bout "hook up" with someone online...and NOT a dating service...maybe that's a better way of putting it...
Let me clarify
I have NEVER put a pet down myself. I have taken out loans to get proper care for a pet who was at an age where the doctor's said they wouldn't be with me much longer but the problem was able to be treated. I do not promote putting an animal down either.
I truely feel this dog is struggling and in pain. I am not the only one who feels this way after seeing him. My mother agrees in one breath but in the next says specifically that SHE is not ready for him to go. She has had extensive tests performed on him and the vet has told her that he will continue with the lumps and problems and they are not treatable except for the injections for pain which are getting expensive for her on a limited income. She has not had him biopsied for cancer because of the cost and the fact that she is not ready to accept that diagnosis. The doctor said that cancer is likely the case being that they are turning up so rapidly and continually growing. Please keep in mind that this was "my" dog and I love him dearly.
I hope this post doesn't come off as b1tchy because that is not how it is meant, I just thought a little more clarification was needed before I get an abundance of posts making me out to be insensitive or an animal killer.
Maybe I should clarify that I
if my husband did do something like that, I would hit the roof and tell him exactly why it was inappropriate and that him keeping it from me makes it look all the more suspicious.
I can also see my husband coming to me and saying, hey, maybe we should help her out and consulting me on it. Actually that is probably much more likely since we pool our money. Sometimes he is wise and sometimes he is not. Just like all of us really. My point was that men like to be the hero and it boosts their ego. I just wouldn't be so quick to assume the worst. He was probably just wanting to help her.
In no way do I mean to insinuate that the OP is neglectful of her spouse's emotional needs, but now might be the time to remind him that he is her hero.
I did clarify this - said it was probably ONE - sm
of the things that contributed to the divorce, though she left him and initiated the divorce, so probably not, who knows, who cares. She lost a great guy, provider and father of children. But he did not divorce her because she didn't like having sex and couldn't orgasm (not organism by the way). Most women cannot have an orgasm from the "act" itself and need a little help along the way. It is ignorant men who expect a woman to have an orgasm just from intercourse, so for the pleasing aspect I know differently.....
Please clarify...Got WHAT untangled?
Your boobs? aaarrrrrrrrggg!
Just to clarify, that's another "Chuck" (or someone doing ... sm
a bad job of posing as me, which, of course, NEVER happens here, LOL).
I just want to jump in here and perhaps clarify.
I think it's a common belief that the Catholic Church believes marriage outside the Church is sinful. Actually, the Church labels it as non-sacramental. The Catholic Church makes no ruling on the legality of marriages. In other words, if you've followed the laws where you live, and you have a marriage license, you're married civilly. Divorce, also, is a civil matter that is dealt with in the courts.
Catholic annulments, for instance, do not determine whether or not a couple was actually married, but whether or not the couple entered into a sacramental marriage.
A sacramental marriage must take place in a Catholic church, is witnessed by a priest or deacon, etc. Couples married outside of the Church can receive what is commonly called a "blessing", but it is actually their entering into the sacramental state of marriage according to the Church. If their married according to the law where they live, then they are civilly married, and the Church recognizes it as a legal marriage.
Some people consider it a lot of hoop-de-doo, I suppose. But it's part of the faith and tradition of the Catholic Church, and so it should be respected in the same way that people respect the Amish living apart from the modern world.
So, yes, if a couple is married outside of the Catholic Church, the church recognizes their marriage as legal. It doesn't recognize it as sacramental.
It's a topic that others explain better than I. So I apologize if I've actually made the issue more confusing.
To clarify, she didn't do in vitro.
She was using Clomid, I believe. She claims to have polycystic ovarian disease, and so ovulation is a problem for her. The sextuplets were conceived after it was determined that her ovaries were hyperstimulated, and the clinic would not do the insemination. She and her husband were advised to "skip the cycle", but went home and conceived the old-fashioned way anyway. Originally, there were 7 embryos, but one did not develop.
I don't know if Jon and Kate set about to conceive high order multiples, but they definitely went after money not long after the babies were born. What started out as an interesting program showing how two more or less average parents dealt with the demands of raising a family in an average home has morphed into a sad, sorry situation. The live in million dollar home now, and the show seems to be endless vacations and product placements. Those poor kids are on display like a bunch of zoo animals. What a shame. Jon and Kate need to shut down this production and take care of their family.
clarify please-u mean woman playing Mary.....sm
You do mean the person playing character of Mary in this movie got pregnant as a teen?
Welcome to the 21st Century, m'dear.........*lol* - not many couples are getting married today (although the gay community sure is trying to get married).....but the numbers are WAY down for hetero couples.........
in any event, it's just a flick/movie - what do you care about the actors/actresses who are playing the characters? 
I should clarify - that would be rubbing alcohol, not liquor! nm

Let me clarify...I don't sit around in my pj's all day. It makes me feels sluggish, but you ca
bet I will not be wearing what I would wear to an interview. Makes no sense.
Dirty store and nasty workers. Wanted to clarify

I have the best brother ever!
Tonight my brother called, said he loved me and he knew I was struggling to catch up after being laid off and would I accept his gift to help me catch back up.  I love my family.  It isn't like he has money to spare really but he got a really nice bonus and wanted to share it with me.
My brother and I also won sm
a Halloween costume competition when we were little. He for my original costume (He was a hobo)and me for prettiest costume (me, what else, a princess)My mom was a whiz with the sewing machine. Funniest thing, We had the same last name as the anme of the department store that sponsered the competition. I assure you we were in no way related, but I bet no one else belived it.
Big Brother
Did anyone watch Big Brother last night? Did you think Julie Chen looked awfully skinny. I did not think she looked good at all.
Big Brother
Who out there watches Big Brother? What is wrong with everyone this season? They all seem so emotional. It is so funny to watch. No one gets along. Can't stand Jen.
Oh brother!
a
My brother's got one. They ALWAYS
Why not put $500.00 away in a bank account and then take long weekends or splurge on a huge trip? I don't see where you're saving money really, plus someone's padding their pocket somewhere. :(
My brother
was a wild one when he was 15, hung out with an older crowd and so on. But he straightened out in his early 20s when most guys his age were still barhopping. He ended up getting his GED and now he is a Fire Capt. I think some kids go through those wild years a little earlier than others. I would not be comfortable with him hanging out with a 23-year-old though. Makes you wonder what the older guy's motivation is hanging out with a young teenager. Good luck.
Big Brother
Is anyone out there as disgusted with the results of Big Brother this year? I cannot even watch the last one because it will make me physically sick to see either Daniele or Evel win. Daniele is the biggest baby I have ever seen and Evel is the meanest person I think I have ever seen.
Big Brother
Oh, I was disgusted with how it turned out last night. I bet there are a lot of people out there that feel the same way. I won't have to worry about missing the next show.
Big Brother
I love ED.. He is just being realistic. You do what you gotta do when you are in a game like that. It always amazes me why people get their feelings hurt.. They are there to win the money and that is simply all. Waste of time otherwise. I am glad he won.. of course, his daughter will get the money because of the hate people feel for him... The truth hurts sometimes.
O Brother
Whatta day it's been
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfTUvFj6kvc
O Brother
I glad you enjoyed it....
brother
I'm glad your brother seems to be getting his life together. . my ex was always a wonderful father - that is how I knew the drugs had finally taken over - when our daughter needed medical tests done - lost health insurance when he quit his job - and I BEGGED him to do something to get some money so she could have her tests done. . he did nothing. . I filed for divorce right after that. . he would never even admit he was on drugs. . if he had, we could have tried to get help maybe. .
i could have had his brother - nm

Well, at least not as bad as his gay brother
who has his own porn site, it is called Kitty-Porn. When husband not at home this furry is on hub's computer setting up, shall we say meetings. I would not have known had it not been for my husband telling me he had extra charges on his cell from someone named Romeo, that is when he found out about the gay site fatcat's brother is running. I tell you, these kids now days. They will be the death of me yet!
Through my brother...
and have only been apart when truly necessary!
Oh brother!
This is a 16-year-old you are talking about??? You seem awfully involved in the drama of highschool life. Don't teach him to be concerned about what some snotty girl is doing. Tell him to decide what he wants to do for his B-day and get over it. When he is 35, he will either remember a birthday spent worrying about someone whose name he can't recall, or that he had a really great birthday with friends that were true friends. His choice! This is hardly the end of the world.
My brother is ................. sm
smoking some sausage, ribs, etc., for dinner and we are making potato salad and beans and trimmings to go along with it. He doesn't do this too often, so we are looking forward to a different Easter dinner this year!
Great Brother!
He is very special. Can't be he's married to someone who resents his having much to do with his sister, only sibling.
I am in NJ and worry about my brother-in-law
even though the fires are not near him, things can change if those winds do not stop soon. I wish the best for your friend. Yes, everyone's spirits out there seem to be good. They go through so much with these fires and earthquakes. I believe that is what gives them the strength to deal with these disasters when they happen.
Don't get walnut. My brother did,
and it's not as hard as it sounds like it would be. Cherry is very hard. which is why it is so popular.
I just have WilsonArt (like Pergo), and I got a medium tone. I don't like the color. It is too dull brown. I wish I had gotten something more interesting and dramatic, like light or dark or at least the honey shade I planned on, but I got a good deal on this color, and now I regret the color, but not the product.
Hardwood is better for resale value in many places, and does look better IF you can take care of it. WilsonArt, on the other hand, is indestructable, so it holds up better for rough use.
Another consideration you didn't mention is if you are getting flat boards or the ones with a little edge on them or other texture. I've seen wide planks that had an interesting effect that was very rustic looking. I'm sure any sort of texture would collect dirt, but if you are going to vacuum frequently anyway, the textures/shaped boards look fabulous to me.
Try to see as many pictures and even completed rooms as possible before you decide.
Big brother needs to be careful
I sincerely hope your son didn't run wants/warrants, DL, car registration, LEADS or anything else on sis's boyfriend. My sister is a deputy sheriff, and if she did anything like that for a personal reason, the sheriff would have her badge in about 2 seconds flat. That is a major no-no and one of the first things they learn if they work in the radio room.
My brother has quite a few Boxers
They are so funny!
We'll probably go to my brother's
He also has 5 boxer dogs that the kids love to play with. I'll probably take some chili cheese dip or some chicken wings; it's hard to tell what I'll come up. Him and his wife are on a diet, so I don't want to bring too much of that kind of stuff. Maybe I'll make a salad! 
Big brother in action again
What happened to freedom of choice? When did what we do off the clock become everyone's business, and when did we, the workers, agree we need some authority with a conflict of interest to police everyone's health for their own good?
So what's next - we all have no health insurance eventually because some greedy insurer decides something we do is a risk? In this profession in particular, they could look to disqualify us for being overweight, or the likelihood of carpal tunnel, or any of the other problems that come from being chained to a keyboard the majority of the time.
On the other hand, some politicians introduce platforms aimed to force us to buy insurance. But what if you are disqualified by the almighty insurers? You can't make everybody get insurance if more and more people are refused insurance due to risk. Something has got to give here, and the madness must stop.
Best of luck to your brother...sm
I am glad he is getting this checked out and that they moved the stress test up. The sooner they figure out what's going on, the sooner he can treat it and at least get that stress out of the way. Let us know how things go.
My brother has 6 boxers.
They don't bite, but they do jump and they wag their tales hard. They are natural lickers (kissers), in my opinion. All we say the whole time we visit is "GIIITTT" because when one is done jumping and kissing/licking, here comes the next one...
My brother has done the same as you and she doesn't get it at all (sm)
He has not been to see her in 5 years and has a one-year-old baby she has never even seen, plus older children she has not seen in 5 years. To this day she thinks it is because his wife has turned him against her. She still doesn't understand that she did anything wrong.
My brother has has Boxers and he took
How about the surgery was $6,000.00 and the PT was $125.00 a visit for about 8 weeks. Only the best for his dogs. Now, he's contemplating putting him down because he still can't walk.
The other one had pancreatic cancer and surgery and just had an eye removed due to cataracts. This totals you guys are giving aren't even close to what he's put out.
It's a shame these vets charge so much.
Dear brother:
Please make some attempt to pay back what you owe me. Your lack of effort and acknowledgment is doing far more damage than just making me poor.
~Lil Sis
Met at my brother's wedding.
That your brother was your stepbrother
and your mother was your stepmother, I realized it immediately, because you called them 'his son' and 'his wife', was the reason that you did not help locatiang your stepbrother's children, so that they can get their shares?
Strange, strange! This equals indicency. Did you really not know their whereabouts or did you never want to know?
