To Missouri poster who went to wedding. How was it? (sm)
Bet you had a great time dancing in that red dress w/o having to worry about the guest book.
Are you the hostess or the guest for this Thanksgiving? If a guest, what

You need to send a wedding gift if you attend the wedding - sm
If possible you should drop it by the brides or grooms house, etc. so you don't have to take it to the wedding, and so they don't have to worry about transporting the gifts from the church or the reception. You should always send a wedding gift if you attend the wedding though.
This wedding, the wedding party will be releasing butterflies!
Apparently, you can buy live butterflies, individually packaged, that can be released after the ceremony. The bride and groom are 65 and 68 years old, for crying out loud and this is their second marriage. This wedding is the craziest thing I've ever seen!
Yep, for over a week now, in Missouri

I think there is riverboat in Missouri
No casinos though, no gambling here- used to play bingo years ago, not now. Philly visiting husband's family. New York is for sightseeing.
Missouri. Do you live in Arkansas?

Missouri here and freezing my patootie off. (sm)
It is now almost up to zero. Have had water running in the bathroom just in case pipes might freeze. Type a while and then bury my fingers in the dog's fur to warm them. The thermostat says it is 72 in the house, but just bone-chilling cold.
Grandchildren at my house, 1/2 day of school. Fed them grilled cheese and tomato soup. Warms the soul as well as the body, doesn't it.
My prayers are with those who don't have sufficient heat, blankets, clothing and food to manage throught this cold streak.
I'm a guest
We go to my parent's house every year. We usually just bring some cornbread or some type of dessert.
Guest...
And all the guests bring a covered dish, a dessert, and a drink. The hostess does the meat (turkey) and a veggie or 2, plus desserts...plus all the cleaning, planning, etc., which is why I'm glad it's not my year to hostess!
Until they become family they are a guest...
and should sleep in the guest room like anyone else! Totally agree :)
Guest books are not new
I had one at my wedding 22 years ago. I was also guest book attendant for a friend from high school. Got there early, got to see everyone as they came in and say hi to people I hadn't seen in awhile. Not that big of a deal. Of course, she didn't tell me what I had to wear, either.
No, I mean she is the ONLY guest of honor and I am ignored (sm)
We have to celebrate how she wants, where she wants, etc. and she is lavished with attention while I am barely acknowledged as being a mother that day at all. Of course she still qualifies as a mother - but I am one too!
Why do they need someone in charge of the guest book?
You leave it on the table by the placecards, and people sign it when they get their table assignments. I have never seen anyone in charge of a guest book before. Talk about micromanaging.
Your post, she is always the guest of honor?
even though you are still raising children does not make sense to me. Do you mean once a child grows up you don’t qualify for a mother anymore?
Is it rude to ask a house guest
how long they will be staying. My MIL came Sunday to go to a doctor's appointment Monday. Well, the doctor appointment is over and it is already Wednesday and she is still here. She does tell us pretty much when she is coming but there is no end in sight. She is super sensitive and cries a lot with "you don't want me" so I don't know how to ask without any water works. I just want to know what to expect.
The other day Racheal Ray had a guest with a good suggestion.
She soaked a cotton ball with vanilla extract, placed in a cute, little glass dish and set it in her fridge. Bet that would work for you!!!
The guest list is up to the bride & groom....sm
no one else! Of course if grandma wants to foot the bill for the wedding then I'm sure they'd consider her desires.
I once was assigned guest book duty.
Like you, I didn't know what that entailed. When I arrived at the reception, I was told to hold the thing as people walked up and signed it. Basically, I was a human podium. If that's what the bride wants you to do, tell her to leave it on the table! How rude of her to expect so much! Show up in the red dress and don't even sign the silly guest book!
This new guest book thing is dumb anyway
something else to add to the list of a gazilion ways to fawn all over the couple! Gag. Who really cares? Can you believe people are so full of themselves these days? It's truly mind boggling. And with the divorce rate being 50% or higher, why do they even bother?
I'd definitely be there in my red dress for sure, would maybe even stuff my bra so my cleavage popped out!
Anything to get out of the dumb guest book thing!
It's actually insulting, you too are supposed to be a guest :)
Let us know what happens!!!
What's the point of a guest book, anyway? They'll have the cards and

Totally agast, unwelcomed guest, how to handle
Last Christmas my husband's nephew was invited for Christmas breakfast and his friend came along. They were from out of town. They about ate us out of house and home and the friend after breakfast helped himself to the remote, changed channels and then spread across the couch and decided to go to sleep. These guys have no manners (older group here and they are hip-hop type guys). They later went to another family's home where they again were unmannerly. Get this, now the nephew calls (we had invited some other people) and he told husband he said he would be glad to give these people a ride! I know he probably is planning to have another dinner here (now not only his friend is in town but also wife and 4 kids). I would be so mortified to have all those folks show up, I probably would be very, very rude and it would be Christmas. My husband is not confrontational and did not say anything when his nephew said he offered to bring others and from another state. Ok, what would you do in this situation? Thanks!
Brunch guest who can't have dairy or salt - snowed in!
Out of ideas! Also, looking for simple recipe for brunch requiring stuff I have on hand. Martha always has some confounded ingredient I never heard of. Lost my hash brown recipe. Have frozen hash browns, sour cream, cr. chicken soup, butter & chips, forgot how I put them all together last time. Locked in, more snow coming, zero degrees in NE, don't even know if people will make it here. I'm frustrated. Have a spiral ham on hand, thank goodness! Sounds like I'll be cooking but will they come in the stormy weather. Darned if I do, darned if I don't! The no dairy, no salt thing is driving me up the walls.
Oh well, have a happy holiday. Tip: Put furniture polish or cooking oil on your snow shovel and the snow won't stick.
A guest book attendant is not a bridal party member and should

I do live in Arkansas - my parents live up in Branson so I'm in Missouri quite often!

Would you report.
If you saw someone moving there furniture out of the house 2 days before their housefire?
That's right. I had one report where pt had SM
cancer of the pancreas and, according to report, was supposd to be dead ten years ago. The guy was alive and doing fairly well with gastrostomy tube. I doubt when doctors give so much time left to live, unless the patient is in really bad shape and we are talking about days; but years? No. SIL may be around for a lot longer.
As for me, I would go to Europe. Maybe stay in Europe! LOL!
Here's two from the same report
Cataractectomy and hyperpotassemia. I used to always change these to cataract extraction and hyperkalemia but in these days of verbatim, I put them through as is. They just look stupid to me.
My ER report today -
CHIEF COMPLAINT: Difficulty pooping. 
Third report of the morning...
Doctor starts to spell patient's name...D - i - g, as in Zebra. Yes, he's an ESL and it's too early in the morning for this! 
Get a copy of the op report!
Request a copy of that report or call the physician who performed the procedure. I was put under general for a procedure that should have been done under conscious sedation. I complained of throat soreness, and couldn't understand why. Hence, the OR report confirmed general anesthesia! Oh my gosh! How rude for that tech to say that to your husband! I have never heard of having a colonoscopy without at least some Valium preprocedure, but I guess it could be.
this was a preliminary report - sorry....sm
preliminary is what Dr. Perper just said........and they do think a combination of drugs got her........but won't know for about a month.
I read the report--sm
and this is what I gleaned from it.
First off, this doctor may be an orthopedic hand surgeon, but in this case, along with others, he was a *study researcher*. He and some colleagues, also *study researchers* read 117 reports, but they did not specify where these *reports* came from. (hmmmm). This was not something he had *discovered* on his own and through his own work as an orthopedic surgeon. This was something he *read.*
Anyway, his conclusion from *reading these reports* was, *A major risk factor for carpal tunnel is genetics.*
The very next sentence says, *Exactly what these genetic factors are is not known.* (hmmm)
Then he also says *The quality and strength of evidence supporting genetics or inherent risk factors was felt to be MODERATE.*
Moderate??? 117 reports?? With all the carpal tunnel cases in the United States alone, I really do not feel that 117 reports from unspecified sources is the end-all and know-all for saying that repetitive use does not cause carpal tunnel. First off, I would want to know who these reports were written by, and pointing to only a *moderate* strength of evidence does not convince me, either. Basically, I would need much more proof than this. AND I would wonder exactly how much money this doctor and his co-researchers were paid to come up with this *conclusion.*
But, this is just my opinion. I do my research too and if it doesn't sound right, it usually isn't. Thanks for the link though and for giving me another opportunity to scrutinize yet another empty claim.
Take it seriously and report to the person
you would think would be most instrumental in getting the assistance she seems to need.
I wish to report my hubby
for the crime of stealing the affection of our foster dog, Cedric.
DH is home sick and I think it's a scheme to spend time with Cedric (though he would never admit this!) to win Cedric's heart over to love only him.
How did I lose control ... LOL.
In this day and age..absolutely. I'd report it to someone.

do not wait - do something now -- report her
Before another family or child is scarred by this counselor you need to write a letter to the principal and to the school board documenting everything that has happened. If you let it go, it will continue and harm other children. I am all for making children accountable for their actions and sometimes feel that parents do coddle too much sometimes but in this occurence -- do not and I really urge you to do something about it and report it. If you stand by and let this continue then you are partially responsible -- more of us need to become involved and do something about things like this. Let us know what happens. Just document in writing everything that has happened and does happen.
Report length
The longer the better if it's by one of my favorites.
they can be put on your credit report...
I know for sure b/c I have one on mine. :(
Header on an ER report
I will never forget--
ATV versus Tree.
ATV lost.
Rates right up there with bus versus bicycle. Bicycle lost. Car versus semi. Car lost. Car versus pedestrian. Pedestrian lost.
I'd report her to her superiors.
I'd be into that principal's office in a hot minute, have that teacher, and her union rep right there and have her disciplined. That is a breech of confidentiality and by no means should she have done that; it is nobody's business what condition that young boy has or deals with every day.
The bullying needs addressed as well with the principal and those parents called, and then what you do is request he be switched to another school in the district or you'll take to the local newspaper.
I am so tired of these teachers thinking they can just speak to students any way they choose, and not expect any repercussions from it. I had a teacher tell my son that his "mother's sob story doesn't fly that you are adjusting to a new school." Well, I was hot! I set up a meeting and put her in her place, and the principal actually agreed with me and not her. I will not tolerate this any longer.
I am now wondering what to do about the fact that my son is being punished for swearing in the hallway to another student and has to serve a detention but the swearing occurred about a month ago. If that was the case, it needed to be addressed when it happened, not a month later. My son didn't even know what he was being called in about it was so darned long ago. These teachers need to understand that they are the ones that students are supposed to look up to, and this teacher in this OP's life obviously is not setting a good example. This just goes to show how this world has lots to improve upon including people in positions where they are impressionable on our youth. She was wrong, no ifs, ands, or buts about it. JMO.
Please report this to the police (sm)
This is threatening and dangerous behavior. he is not afraid to knock on your door or to leave a note. Please call the police and report this immediately.
GOOD REPORT~
My brother and his wife & son went to see them this a.m. and when they walked in Lindsay's room she was texting someone on her phone.. she actually, so they have said has worse injuries than Mikey, she messed up her spleen, lacerated her liver, had some internal bleeding & said they might have to do surgery, not sure about that yet, what they thought was a break was an old wound, not a new break.. Mikey's parents talked to the dr. this a.m. & said he would heal, had a collapsed lung, etc, but he is out of danger as far as whether he's gonna make it. so thanks for all the prayers and Thank God for them both going to be okay..
Reminds me of a GYN report I typed
was in her 80's and thought she was reaching for the KY jelly on her nightstand, but grabbed body wash instead while she was making whoopee. Poor thing had a terrible infection, hence her visit to the GYN. I still have to commend her for having you know what, plus KY jelly! Woohooooo! What a night, she must of had! Boy, did she pay for it in the end.
I would call the sheriff right now and report - seriously.
That is very, very unusual behavior and you need to make a record of it and protect yourself. Lock all your doors and be very, very cautious now. He knows you are alone now and vulnerable and who knows what he might do. Be careful!
According to news report today......sm
the reason it didn't pop up was because the system is not integrated and so this info would not have been found. I find it weird and scary that the state of Virginia found this man mentally ill and as a threat to himself and OTHERS, and STILL the system just let him walk off and back into the university system without any follow up on him.
Report this to animal control!
You need to file a report of both killings to the animal control officer. My neighbor had 2 Akitas (aggressive like chows) who attacked and killed my cat. Unfortunately my cat for some unknown mind boggling reason jumped over her fence into her fenced-in yard, BUT . . . these 2 dogs had also gotten loose a couple of times and attacked a woman getting her mail from her mailbox! Vicious dogs are vicious dogs and this needs to be documented by you. I feel so bad for your cats, but please don't let it happen to any other poor animals!
Thanks to everyone and I am happy to report I have been demoted... SM
to handing out programs at the service, another part of this wedding I do not understand. Is this a normal thing, programs at weddings? Maybe I've just been out of touch for too long or I'm just too kuntry, but I've never heard of a guest book attendant or having programs at a wedding.
Ah well, I'm just happy that when the food is served, I'll be comfy at my table ready to eat and not standing by some silly book making people sign it!
if it does show up on your credit report sm
You could try to get it removed. Tell the credit agency to remove it because you don't owe the money, that you sent a certified letter within 7 days to cancel this and that legally you don't owe it. Check out the state attorney general's office. If it were me, I would not pay it. If it does end up on your credit report, i don't know if paying it will get it removed.
You're doing my husband's report? (nm)
F.R.E.E. credit report.com baby. LOL.
That guy rapping with his little rice burner is HILARIOUS.. I find myself singing that song in the car.
