    I didn't start skating 'til I was almost 49! ;o)

    Sorry, I didn't read this one
    before I replied to the other one. I see that you have had one. Did it not bother you? I do agree, however, if it is God's will, there is a reason. Nowadays, I look at it like if I had have had my twins, we would not have gotten the beautiful children that we have now and where would they be. In the situation they were in, that is a very scary thought!
    From what I read, he didn't say it was okay
    for him to go. He signed the form as required by the other school, but told him that if he went there would be consequences.
    Didn't you read the part about
    Old thighs, old hips, old knees, old ankles...oh, my, I can see the flab a-floppin' and hear the bones a-crackin'.
    You obviously didn't read my post completely..
    I said I USED to be overweight! I have not always been a size 6, I was much larger just a couple of years ago. I was technically considered obese and decided to do something about it. It was completely my fault and because of the food choices I was making and not exercising. I do have compassion for those people that have a problem and do something about it, but not for those that just sit around blaming others for THEIR problem! You really need to go see a dietician or someone who can help you eat correctly and start exercising every day. If you're really only hungry once a day, then you're probably snacking way too much and so your body only wants one meal. There are plenty of different programs out there that could really help you with your weight loss, but you have to be open to change and realize that you are the only one that has the power to change your life. You're also going to have to be completely honest about what your eating and it would really help if you wrote everything down. For me, I have to eat every 3 hours (3 small meals and 2 healthy snacks), stop eating 3 hours before bedtime and exercise at least 5 days a week to keep my weight down. When I started out losing the weight, I kept a food journal and it really helped me to see what I was putting in my body and make sure that I wasn't eating too many/too few calories. By the way, I not the same person as "anon" and I don't believe that I have said anything harsh to you.
    Sorry - guess I didn't read the whole post (sm)
    I have driven to Florida by myself many times (about a 9 hour drive for me). I do have family there though. But I stayed in a hotel by myself while I was there and did the drive alone. I listen to my favorite music, talk on my cell phone (when I have service), etc. The drive is not bad at all. As far as the hotel room - I kind of adjust my brain and tell myself this time is all mine! I can eat whatever I want, go wherever I want, watch whatever I want. As long as you adjust your mind accordingly, it will be great! It really is a treat to be able to just make all the decisions yourself once in a while and not have to ask anyone else what they want.
    Hey, I didn't read all the posts below but sm for suggestion
    Can't help ya with the subway system. I think newbies are all in the same scary boat, but internet could help.

    My suggestion is one of those suitcase things on wheels that he can pull. Maybe one of those and then some sort of satchel/mailbag/backpack also.

    Seems kind of cruel for this company to throw him to the wolves like that. They should be able to offer a little guidance??

    Anyhow, I can't even imagine how you feel. I live in a college town with both kids in their 20s and every time they leave the house, I'm afraid they're going to get lost LOL. So I can only imagine your anxiety.

    Try to help him look at it as a challenge rather than something he's going to dread. Once he gets to know the ropes, all should be fine.

    Hang in there :-)
    I didn't read anything in the original post
    about expecting gushing or groveling. One of the things she did say was that she usually got gifts that the receiver picked out and then was just discarded or sold. I agree with the other posts, give gift cards.
    bs. you didn't read her post very closely.

    Obviously some people didn't read *or get* the whole post about the followup phone call ;)

    I'm counting the days 'til Solstice, as well.
    Great time of year, too. You can enjoy the holiday season at it's most phrenetic, without having to actually take part in the craziness.

    'Ring out, Solstice bells!'
    Well, what does 'til death do us part' mean anymore then? If you take the oath, sm
    loser or not, you are husband and wife and I certainly don't take that lightly. If he didn't cheat on her or vice versa, then he and she should have done everything in their power to make it work for the children. She's probably post-partum, humiliated at his 'lack of success,' and after 2 years of marriage, according to prenups - would have been ordered to pay and astronomical amount of money and they were just approaching their 2 years. Talk about timing!

    I think it's mostly her fault. She should have never married him. She probably has been thinking about the prenup and money over the past 2 years.
    Thank you! I didn't realize they made computer glasses. Will make an appt. Spit didn't wor

    I didn't say her decor didn't sound great.
    It's not ridiculous.

    I would seriously doubt the Christianity of anyone who feels it is okay to celebrate Halloween. It is anti-God in every aspect.

    You can only service 1 God and the folly of man and carnality is in direct conflict with holiness.


    Thanks - I didn't realize they didn't like the smell of citrus
    I have the feeling he doesnt have a UTI and he's trying to tell me something else, but I'll be taking him to the vets to be safe.
    If I don't read before I go to sleep I can't fall asleep. I will read sm
    until I begin to fall asleep. They say reading relaxes you fully and it works wonders for me.

    I used to suffer from insomnia, but not since I've been doing this - about 5 years now.

    Plus, I've grown so much and have gained wisdom by doing so. I enjoy Christian books and reading the Bible.
    I didn't phrase that well. I didn't mean to SM
    offend. I think I said that to other lady below!

    I wouldn't want to be told that myself. I guess you sounded down. Again, if I offended anyone, I'm sorry.

    I'm a channel surfer. Last night watched PBS documentary on Kennedy assasination, then PBS show on Dick Cheney. Yuck. Then watched show on stem cell research to cure paralysis. There were two young woman, both with paralysis, who were so inspiring. Watched another segment on Current about blind people using their voices to "see". That had to be seen to be believed. Anyway, positives offset the negative.

    Again, sorry if I said anything out of line.
    I didn't say she should sue them. I said that
    her sister legally is obligated to pay for it. Me, I would have probably told her I was unhappy with her, learned my lesson and would have moved on.

    If I was the sister though, I would have admitted my fault, at least partial fault, and made amends.
    Yep, I didn't know that either. Thanks. :) NM

    I really didn't know all of this.
    thanks
    She didn't come with us.

    It must be because I didn't owe very much
    I had my husband take extra out of his check every year and most of the time it's enough to cover mine too. Last year I owed under $100 as I made more than I planned. I am an IC and use my SS#. I don't remember how much you have to owe for the fine/quarterly taxes either, like Patti stated.
    well thank you! I didn't know being in --sm
    the 50 year age bracket was young, but I appreciate the comment! Maybe in 20 years I will be able to retire.
    I can't believe the mom didn't take him to the ER...
    Wow.
    No, I didn't know that...but (sm)
    I don't have Soapnet...so!  But thanks for the update...
    Do you know for SURE he didn't
    make an effort to see you all these years?

    My friend of 30+ was told by HER mother that her father was dead. Come to find out when she is her 20's he's not only alive and well, he's happy to meet her.

    It's always a good thing to take what ANYone tells you with a large grain of salt.

    As to how to approach him? I would find out where he works and send a letter there - that way it can't be intercepted by his wife. Alternatively, you could call him on the phone, but that option does not allow him time to absorb the news he's been "found" by you.

    Provide all your contact information and ask him to at least meet/talk to you once. I would be very surprised if he does not grant your request.
    I didn't know that!

    no, I didn't mean all that *lol* - but your one

    you said:  Why don't we all learn Mandarin?


    -----------------


    you don't know HOW astute a statement/question that is!!!  We all will have to know Chinese/Mandarin within the next 25 years or thereabouts....as China slowly takes it ALL over.....the world, that is...don't laugh or think I'm talking out of left field.... - Miami and Broward now offer Chinese and Mandarin classes in college.........the past few years....and then there are those subliminal fortune cookies...teaching us the Chinese or Cantonese alphabet......*ROFL*....but I'[m not really laughing.........


    My Hispanic friends in Miami are speaking better English year by year, the longer they are here.....I stay out of the areas where they ONLY speak Spanish.....I'd be lost, as I only speak Spanglish.......Franglish, et al.


    Yes, while in foreign countries, we speak their language and they all should be speaking English here but we cannot force it, unfortunately....hence, I learned some Spanish over the past decade and utilize it with English; hence=Spanglish.......*laughs* I think folks need to lighten up about language - we are all the same - we really are - just the amount of melanin in our skin or the slant of our eyes.....we all believe in the same G_d I do believe no matter what the name for G_d is......we all hurt, bleed, and die....it's all RED BLOOD....*grins*


    Again, Tolerance........


    HAPPY JULY 4TH :)


     


    Of course, and I didn't even say that...
    Just saying that not loving animals does not make one a bad person, simply put. I do not agree with the abuse of any living thing...animal or person, but people sure are more passionate about animal abuse than they are about child abuse...can I get an amen???
    Can you believe I didn't get to see it!!

    Work was backed up so I was doing extra, darn it!  I bet it was a great show though.  I hate these insurance companies refusing to pay for procedures, especially when someone's life depends on it.  What mess.  Something has to change, for sure.


    I'm not the OP. Just didn't want to see...sm
    The thread get out of hand is all. And I see that it hasn't.

    Yes you can say what you think, it just sounded to me like you were getting ready to *pounce.* LOL

    BTW, it isn't statuatory rape at 16 if they're both 16, so there would be no legal course for you to follow. You'd just have to try to keep them apart I guess. And good luck with that! Ahh, young love...
    Ha, really! We didn't
    get any T-shirts or anything, but I told my kids they could go to school on Tuesday (out tomorrow) and tell all their friends they went to the fair and got to see Hannah Montana's dad in concert! I've been looking for a good video or clip whee it shows how he used to do Achy Breaky Heart back when my husband and I used to go to his concerts (my choice of course), but all I can find is the original video, which doesn't really show a lot of the way he danced around! My kids are only 6 and 8, so it was really something big for them!
    wow - didn't know there were that many of us
    born and raised in WV - moved the other direction from you - KY - GO CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Didn't say that did I?(nm)

    Oh Wow. I didn't even think - this could be
    mother Spears THIRD shot at a gravy train. It won't be long before they are pimping the new baby all over Hollywood too.
    I didn't know that! (sm)
    Since switching from DirecTV to cable (moved), I don't get Court TV any more :0( so I had no idea she had even gotten married!! Good for her!! And twins :-)

    ...thanks for the update...
    I have one of those! I just didn't know its name...
    It was something we got as a wedding present 10 years ago and I have not used it much. I kind of forgot I had it.
    I didn't know either.
    I googled internet abbreviations to find out what all the ShortHand meant.
    You didn't need to be there...

    There are facts in that case.  It has already been investigated.


    And you didn't even have to
    Get under a doorframe if it happens again. It prolly will, but not as big.
    It didn't...thanks though!
    It's not anywhere, no matter though...she made it!
    Exactly - you didn't know
    That is why you should have not made those comments.
    OMG - you just didn't do that did you?
    We all knew she meant leaving. Give the girl a break! She's down in the dumps and you kick her even more by pointing out she made an error in her post. Has everyone gone nuts. Just read it, you don't need to comment about an error.
    Um, no I didn't.
    .
    SURE DIDN'T LOOK IT!!!! nm

    duh, why didn't i think of that. :) Tx!

    I didn't say it.

    It was on the national news.  Maybe it's the younger generation of men.  They've been so spoiled and given everything at home that when they get married they expect the same as their parents gave them.  Someone else always taking care of them.  I think the clear roles of men and women from years ago have diminished and men are just kind of floundering.


    When I got married 16 years ago, my husband moved into my house.  When he asked me where I kept my ice (?!), I knew I was in trouble.


    I didn't know that either
    And that's not like me. I'm usually the celebrity gossip queen. All my friends say I should have been an entertainment reporter.
    I didn't want one either, but tried one
    because I discovered DH had 3 of them! I just asked him if the tiny one I'm using is a shuffle, and he said it was, so I learned something from your post. His other iPods seem annoying to use, but I do love the simplicity of the shuffle. Except that it doesn't hold a charge long at all. It's plugged into a spot in my car, but it doesn't charge from there. It only charges when it's on a base DH has in the house. Other than that, I love it. I wouldn't enjoy having to scroll through playlists to get batches of music, but I do enjoy having all the up-tempo rock and bluegrass I like playing for me in the car without static and commercials.
    I didn't mean he was right ...
    I just meant this could be his point of view. Establishing a few ground rules MIGHT prevent this. Just a thought.
    Your mom probably didn't want you to

    give your kids McD's because it reminded your mom of what she did to you. Your mom probably sees in you the parent she wishes she had been.  It may help to tell your mom you realize she did the best she could.  She must have done something right because you sound like a pretty decent person.
