If they want to meet with you....
I would say go ahead and meet them and see what you think. It could be they're looking for a way to get a housekeeper without having to pay benefits and taxes. In that case, quiz them thoroughly about what is expected of you as far as duties, hours and days you will be expected to be available.
It could be legit, but just proceed with caution and trust your instincts.
Who would you most like to meet and why?
My son's homework. The teacher gave them a day to think about who they would most like to meet and why and then write a detailed paper (he's in the 11th grade).
Anyone ever think about this?
So where does one meet these days?
So how does a single person meet someone then, especially if not into the bar scene at all? Okay - let me list where I might meet someone: Church...which usually is very limited because almost everyone is married. Any other suggestions? I know what a huge list I have....
Nice to meet ya!

Meet and greet
I'm going at 1:00. What a shame - I'd love to meet you!
Glad to Meet You....
Now let's see if we get flamed for our beliefs.
Haha, a virtual "burning at the stake," if you will.
When I first read you post, your personality sounds identical to mine. Now that I know we share 'religious' convictions, I wonder if that's indicative of our beliefs impacting our outlooks on life...
Hmmmmm. Interesting!!!
How did you meet your significant other?
With all the posts about how many times you were married or divorced, I thought I'd ask how you met your DH. So how did you meet? Were you high school sweethearts, friends? did you work together? Was it love at first sight or couldn't stand the sight of them?
I lived across the street for about 2 years from where my DH worked but never saw him there. I met him at my grandfather's house in another state. He worked with my uncle who lived with my grandfather. DH lived down the road from my uncle and had gone to school with my uncle's son. It wasn't love at first sight for me. We would run into each other at my grandfather's house and he sort of grew on me. LOL! We've been married for 15 years now.
The two people I would have most liked to meet ....sm
were before my time....Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe. There is a tribute artist who is eerily like Elvis I would like to meet though. His name is Shawn Klush. Youtube him. You will be impressed. Going to see him in June.
I wish! I'd love to meet him!
I'm sure they get a million phone calls though.
I just talked to my husband again and we decided to keep him until he looks better, and then we will find him a good home. He's already growing on me, so I have to be careful or I'll get too attached! :)
There's a line in Meet The Parents...
*You can pretty much milk anything with nipples.*
I think it's better to meet people in person around where
s
I don't meet the survey target , but
my two boys had a 10:00 p.m. curfew on school nights when they were 16. Curfew was 11:00 on weekends, unless something special was happening. I was told I was absolutely barbaric for setting such early times. My kids didn't tell me that. Other parents did. Not that I cared, mind you.
Each son proved himself to be trustworthy and responsible, and so the day they turned 18, all curfews were lifted. I only asked as a matter of courtesy that they tell me where they were going and give me an approximate time to expect them home so that I knew when to officially start worrying. They didn't have to tell me, but I asked them to tell me, which they did. In fact, for the first week or so after they turned 18 they'd ask me for permission to do something or go somewhere, and I'd reply, "Why are you asking me? You're an adult!" LOL!
They are 18 and 20 now, and doing just fine. The 18 year-old is commuting to a university in our city. He refers to us as his college roommates.
making ends meet
I agree if you need money to support your family you should not be going to school right now...and if your full time job is not cutting it then get a couple part time jobs. i work 3 jobs now; 1 FT and 2 PT and have so much work now its unbelievable. I will never go back to working for just one service. You never know when things are going to be slow. If your husband is not getting enough on disability then he needs to look for something else too...there must be something he can do unless he is totally disabled.
In my case, my children were not happy about having to meet and
get to know another of dads girlfriends. You seem awfully supportive of the girlfriend. Are you, perhaps, in the girlfriend position? To me, it is selfish of a parent who pushes their girlfriends/boyfriends off onto their children. My children were old enough to say WE DON'T WANT TO SEE DAD'S GIRLFRIEND and that was good enough for me. I didn't keep them from their father, but when they were at their primary home, that was their comfort zone, where girlfriends weren't pushed off onto them. My job was to protect my childrens best interests. If that makes me sound selfish, oh well.
I am so tired of hearing so many people I meet say they SM
hate cats. What is with these people, and what in the name of God do cats do to offend so many people? One of my friends told me on a shopping trip last fall about 15 times how she hated cats, but LOVES dogs. Finally I just fired back at her and asked her what in the world was wrong with HER? She got red in the face and muttered something about hating when they rub up against her. Give me a break. I could not take any more thatt day. Every shop we went into and she saw a cat on a picture, a mug, ANYTHING and I had to hear how she hated these wonderful, clever little creatures. All my life I have heard this nonsense. What is it with CATS?? My sister and nieces have cats and always have had them and we could not love them more. Would you believe last year my niece was in line at the store waiting to pay for cat food, when a guy behind her actually tapped her on the shoulder and looked at the cat food she was buying and proudly stated I HATE CATS. I agree with my niece when she said to me a few months ago that cats just don't get the recognition they deserve. When her cat of 20 years was failing but according to the vet not in pain, she took him to bed and slept next to him so he could die in her arms, which he did. We will never forget our Willie. He had a sweetness that will live on forever.
Neither. Not seen dad in the 21st Century, but did see mom to meet my stepfather. sm
They were very young when I was born, only 16 and 19. I have a younger brother who is gay and they have both pushed him away too, though mom a bit less. They were very controlling, highly critical and verbally abusive. The only thing I regret about the lack of relationship is that they managed to drive a wedge between my brother and I. I would thrilled to see him and build a new, grown up relationship, but they have made that impossible.
And for the record...I didn't see either of my parents for about 10 yrs and then decided to try again in my late 30s and early 40s. It proved fruitless. They were more angry, more belittling and just as abusive as ever. I tried, but then again I have changed and I no longer need that sort of negativity in my life.
go see Meet Dave with Eddie Murphy.
The kids will love it - and so will you. He played it so well! Cracked me up...several times.
For those of you happily married, where did you meet your spouse? sm
Just a curious question. I am single and I am thinking if I stay in church, that might be the best place to meet a good man these days when one finally comes around. It really gets me that some people meet their spouses in a bar and then wonder how they married an alcoholic, lol! 
Off to Vegas to meet up with my best friend from high school. sm
I have not seen or heard from her since our 30-year-old sons were babies. Then we found each other again on Classmates.com and arranged this little vacation. Tonight I will see her after all these years. I'm concerned that I won't have much to say (I'm a very quiet person normally) but we do have show tickets and horseback riding and shopping scheduled already plus I MUST find time to do some gambling (I live where there is NO gambling). I'm very excited!! Plus I booked Business Class tickets. 
That Classmates.com is pretty amazing. I have connected with not only her but my first real love (and first broken heart), 2 girl friends, and 2 old family friends. I really love having this connection with the past because I have very few memories of my years until I was about 23 due to much trauma and it is great to go back and visit some good times.
Wish me luck!!
I think you need to get out of the house and meet people in real life.
Any man can seem fabulous on the phone or through email. Your relationship has become inappropriate and you know it. IF he cheats on his wife, he WILL cheat on you. For your own sanity and well being, you need to end things now.
Any ICs with Northeast Health going to meet and greet today?
I'm going to the 10:30 session. ERMT, you do Samaritan, don't you? It'll be nice to have faces to put to names!
We hardly wear skirts ever and mostly meet at the church (basis of prayer)

Guilty! But I only work PT and do meet personal quota. Also spend too

Hey, nice to meet goombas here! Love the fish tradition Christmas Eve!

Have any of you ladies
Ever had an ASCUS Pap Smear result?
Oh, so ladies not the only ones who do this
I went somewhere the other day, can't remember where but my husband said so glad when he drove up and my car not home. Folks, he had bought himself a new toy, so to speak. He has invested in another large, really large TV (he has bought 3 in the last several months, returned 2). He went and hid this in the garage (I am not using right at this minute but usually park my car there) and then came telling me yesterday he had to tell me something. Well, I think the worst and then he tells me he bought another TV! I knew ladies sometimes hide shopping items but men? Thought that was cute.
Okay ladies, here's how...are you
educated at all? Do you have a job? If you live in a community property state you are entitled to half of the household. If you have children you will more than likely get child support, sometimes alimony. You may have to pare down your lifestyle a bit, but what is more important, material things or being healthy and happy emotionally? I got out of a horrible, abusive marriage that I guarantee would rival any of your experieneces. If you don't have any family how about friends, church members, etc., who can help you along. Save some money, put it aside. Either do something proactive, get some counseling or get rid of him. Also, have any of you thought that maybe you may be partially to blame for how you are treated by the man in your life? It works both ways, men aren't always the B@#$ards in the relationship.
Ladies: What can I use to get rid
This is quite embarrassing! I wake up one day and have dandruff and can't seem to get rid of it. What will work without leaving my hair oily??? Please help!
Thanks a lot ladies
you just helped my diet along! Just kidding. These sound delicious.
Ladies, please after reading your
posts you are sounding like a bunch of feuding school aged girls. What in the world is your problem? Retract your claws and be friends again, ok?
Ladies, you all are missing so much
I just got back from a wonderful, wonderful vacation today. I read below the women writing in about their husbands and the lives they have to lead. I wrote a post earlier about going out west- I go on 1 vacation that I want to and then my hubby and I go to Las Vegas together. I have visited 6 states in 7 days including Utah, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho and South Dakota. I do my own vacation each year - my hubby is a long distance driver and to take a trip like this would be just too much more traveling for him- last year Alaska. I meet up with a tour with others from all walks of life. I had 1 lady ask me on the trip "did you husband LET you come on this." I told her we are way past the age of letting 1 another do anything. Women, why in the world don't you wake up?? There are so many really good men out there that would love you, be really good to you. You do not have to put up with crap. You are wasting your life away. I have said this before and will say again- one of these days you will look back and wonder where your life has gone, in a flash you will find yourself in your 50s or 60s and why should you put up with anything other than the best in life? I have a honey of a husband that I adore, love and cherish with all my heart. He is my best friend and there is not enough money on this earth to take the place of him. He never fusses, screams, or even gets upset with me. The most even tempered person I have ever met. He is short, balding and the most sexy man I think I could ever meet. I thank the Man upstairs for this man in my life.
Ladies, please tell your mothers this
If they are in the midst of a divorce after all these years, they can get a very good lawyer and have most all their husbands have made or have. I know this for a fact, happened to my cousin. A wife after this long of a marriage (could be even less) gets money from not only what he brings home but can got after any homes (they have to either be sold and money divided or she might even get), they can go after any IRAs the male has, any savings, bank accts and even insurance money- say a guy has a 500,000 insurance on his life- in case of his death the longtime wife can even get half of that! A good lawyer gets good money for the wife- do not sit back and let them accept pennies- they can come out smelling like a rose. I have known scorned wifes who have sued for alleniation of affections in courts (old, old terms but your mothers probably heard of it) and won millions against insurance carrier of people involved. Ladies, please tell your mothers about the above, don’t let her settle for crumbs after all these years!
Ladies, you just have the wrong ones...
I met and married my present husband at age 59! He was never married, had no children. He is 10 years younger than me and the love of my life. He is a hardworking man, was brought up on a farm so he knows work. He has brothers, all married for years and no divorces in his family. He is loving, kind, thoughtful, complements me on my clothes, always bringing something home for me "because he was thinking about me," a professional chef who does all the cooking here plus does repairs around the home (just recently installing flooring and cabinets in a bathroom in my daughter's home). He probably is the best man I have ever met and that includes any men in my family,honest, upfront. I tell him all the time how much I appreciate and love him. He is funny, sexy and he makes me laugh. What a catch! Married 8 years and counting. He told me one day I was his best friend. What a joy to my life he is.
now read this one ladies

Opinions, Ladies?
I took the bait and sent away for the free 30-day trial of Raw Minerals makeup. I normally use Bare Minerals, but this product was a bit cheaper and had some good performance reviews on the internet so I figured I'd at least try it (and if I don't like it, I can send it back and not be charged for it).
Has anyone here tried it and, if so, any opinion of it? I ordered mine Friday and it arrived today (speedy shipping, huh?). If you've used it, any advice on application, or is it just like Bare Minerals?
TIA for your thoughts and opinions, ladies!!! 
Ladies can you remember what you ...
cooked for your to be hubby for his first meal?
I know what I did !!!
Meatloaf with a tomato gravy,fried okra,mashed potatoes,Squash casserole and corn bread stx ,banana puddin' !!!
I got flowers at work the next morning !!! woohoo!
Ours attend local college PT and still live at home. Hard to make ends meet "out there" on
s
You ladies sound really young as you
have no idea this is not something new on the scene. Back in the 40s ladies fainted with the swoon singers and like the post said above, if you did your research you will find not a new finding- bulemia and anorexia not an issue then and the ladies acted like that, had nothing to do with self-esteem- that is why our world is soooo mixed up today, everyone wants to put a diagnosis along with a part of a growing up process that is in the past, will continue now and after we are gone from here. As long as the stars and entertainers around, this is just part of what goes along with this type of rapture from these young girls. My girl loved Bon Jovi as did her little friends. I went to a Barry Manilow concert 2 years ago and the ladies swooned with him. Just goes with the territory.
Ladies, these posts have made me so sad for everyone sm
who is experiencing the same thing I am, which looks like quite a bit of you. Wow.
I have a to say, but right now I don't have the time or energy to reply to everyone....Thank you all so much for your responses, though. It's so nice to know I'm not alone, yet makes me sad so many of you are going through the same thing. What is wrong with our husbands????
Ladies, can you buy Viagra online?
My mum plant aren't doing well around the flag pole. Can you buy Viagra online?
Little ole ladies, gift suggestions?
I have 3 older ladies (in their 80s, still very much active) and then 2 I would say in their 50s, also working and active. I am at a loss as to what to buy them for Christmas. I would like to buy mostly the same thing so 1 would not think playing favoritism. Any suggestions at all would be helpful. Thanks.
gifts for the older ladies sm
Usually older people have "enough stuff" and gift cards are great, Perhaps you could present them in a little basket or a teacup with some non-caffeine tea. Make sure it's to a place they can get to without any problem. Usually by this age they have enough lotions and soaps to last them until they die. Stamps, now they have "forever" stamps which are pictures of "bells" I believe and supposed to be good even if postage goes up, This would be nice with a box of all occasion cards. I checked with a local deli who delivered and paid them ahead and gave them a paper menu and a card stating they had - X-amount of dollars paid up. Older people are funny, they hate to even spend YOUR money, so it's very hard. I think transportation is always the problem, just be sure they can get to where you're sending them. How about Netflix, or the local movie store, but be sure they have a DVD. Tough choices.My mom used to ask me to record movies for her, she didn't care that they were secondhand. Paid-for manicures - probably don't get there on their own, they have them in Wal-Mart and all over now. Food is so expensive, the local market gift card would be great. Nice of you to think of them. I'd say certificate for a delivered pizza, but they would have to like it.
Ladies - I know this strikes a nerve with some of you (sm)
Just remember-everyone is different. The situation is not the same as yours as they are all different. I asked for opinions and I got them. I said I HAVE been making them go. I am just wondering if I SHOULD continue that. Some think I should and some think I shouldn't. This is not the same as your SIL telling you off or your DIL not letting you see your grandchildren. She sees them as much as she wants, any time she wants. I got to all the family functions she wants us to go to even if her son can't go. I help her when she is sick. I call her on the phone and check on her. We all spend several weeks throughout the summer at the lake with her. We spend EVERY holiday with her. How do you figure this woman is being short changed?? My own mother is the one being short changed - she lives 8 hours away. She never gets to see me or her grandchildren for holidays because my MIL would have a FIT if we were not at her house for these events. When we visit them once or twice a month, we spend ALL DAY at their house. How is she being cheated if she doesn't get every single thing she wants but does get at least 95%?????????
For those middle aged ladies on here, if you are
5' 3-1/2" and a medium build what weight do you like to keep yourself at without looking too gaunt or too heavy.
A "Lunch Ladies" opinion
I work in an elementary school in Ohio. With a lot of hard work we have pretty much removed junk food from our menus. Just today we served Chef Salads for one of our choices. The kids love them. As one first grader said "My mouth is watering just looking at my salad!". We have a lot of freash fruit and vegetables too.Please let your school system know your concerns. There really is no reason to serve sodas and they should be removed. I do serve ice cream, but once or twice a week. We laugh sometimes when they call us their Lunch Teachers. When I ask why, they usually say because I teach them how to eat right. As far as the grandmother who brought home food from the kitchen, I hate to tell you but that is stealing!
Severe Avon ladies
Not busting on you personally, but I had to chuckle picturing the severe Avon ladies!

Any ladies had an umbilical hernia.....? sm
So I had a baby a year ago, gained about 30 pounds. Ever since, my belly button has just looked funny, like there is no hole and there is a big lump covering it. I thought I was just fat and didn't really think anything of it.... until it started to hurt. I went to see a new doc (my dr recently switched to ER, I LOVED him :(). Anyways, did not like this new lady at all, but she did tell me I in fact had an umbilical hernia and referred me to a surgeon. However, that is all she said. I see the surgeon on Tuesday. I am nervous, so if anyone has had one or knows anything, please share! I want to know if I will HAVE to have surgery, if I can workout (see 30 pound weight gain above haha) and if somehow this could affect a next pregnancy (like if it will come back/get worse with pregnancy). This dr didn't tell me anything, diagnosed me walked out before I could ask anything and then the nurse came in.
What kind of people are the ladies above running into
I have never had anyone question why I was married or not, why I had 1 child or 2, why I this or that. Where do you live to have questions put to you like this? I live in the deep south and I am an older person and I just do not get questioned like this. My business is mine UNLESS I volunteer it.
You ladies all know so much and give such good advice, that I will ask here. sm
My daughter's room has been painted and now the expensive custom made draperies that were in the room no longer "match" the room color. I wonder if there is a place I can take them to have then "painted" or dyed to match. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Ok ladies..off work topic..need a recipe!
I have been looking all over the web this morning for a hashbrown casserole recipe and cannot find what I'm looking for. I can find 1001 recipes for a cheesy hashbrown casserole, but the one im looking for is not a cheese based sauce, it's one using cream of mushroom soup. It has no cheese sauce or shredded cheese in it. Im sure it's a simple enough combination of the crm mushroom soup and maybe some sour cream or something but I'd rather have a recipe to go by. Anybody got one? Thanks! :)
