I don't care if you think I'm weird. My kids and family didn't think it was weird and your opinion doesn't mean anything to me, anyway. Apparently there are people here with an opinion because they have posted so many - I don't care if ya'll want to keep it going. Be my guest.

    My family made home-made mozzarella,
    and it was very good. I was pretty small at the time, so I don't remember the exact process, just that it was done pretty quickly, and a lot of milk was used.

    I don't know if you'll save a lot of money making your own cheese. The cost of milk is very high, too, and you need a lot of milk to make cheese.
    esl just made my day
     I just had the best ESL dictator!  He spelled almost every word he had trouble pronouncing and spelled it accurately, spoke slowly and ended the report with, "Thank you so much and have a nice day."    If only they could all be so easy! 
    LOL! You just made my day! :)..nm

    Made too much $$$$, had to pay it all
    Gosh, that tuition came around often and so did all the books I had to buy, all out of pocket because back then I made more than I should have (we also had a home business that cleared half a million the first year) but I would have loved not to pay out of pocket, I am really cheap on some things, my pockets for example.
    ha, ha...that just made me think...take a lap

    One of the cutest I made...sm
    My kids are too old now but I use to make all their costumes and usually tried to match the up even though they are 5 years apart.  My favorite was a scarecrow and a crow.   Scarecrow costume is fairly easy with overalls, straw hat and rafia (My daughter, older) and my son was the crow, using a long sleeve black leotard and orange tights (had to dye some), sewed full head gear (including beak) and tail, feet to cover top of shoes out of felt.  They won their school contest that year.
    That made my day, I loved it !!...nm

    Thanks, you both made me feel better about it...sm

    My intuition is definitely telling me something is off in the story. I try not to be too quick to judge but can't compromise the safety of my kids.


    It bothers me a lot when stuff like this comes up, reminds how difficult the world is these days. I love technology, movies, music, the internet, etc., as much as the next guy, but it sure raises a lot of issues with your kids that weren't there when we grew up. Whatever happened to the days when kids made doll houses, sleds, and clubhouses out of cardboard boxes and the first thing you did after school was change into play clothes to race to the house with the best swingset or grab a snack to watch the Brady Bunch or the Monkeys.


    By then, they usually know, and if not, will be made fun of by other kids.

    For those of you who believe this rule had to be made
    because of those with medical problems - you are very naive.  We are know there are exceptions to all rules - this has obviously become a huge problem with obnoxious children.
    Ok, well how would you feel if you made...
    your daugther get this vaccine and then 10-20 years down the line she dies from some crazy side effect?!! Then you would have to live with the fact that YOU COULD HAVE prevented her death by just not making her get the shot!! Or what if one of the long-term side effects is sterilization or something else that is just awful, how would you feel then knowing you could have prevented it?! I absolutely do NOT believe in letting my little girl be a guinea pig so some politicians and drug company can become rich! No way is my daughter getting this until they have LONG-TERM studies that it's safe for her!
    i think iit was all made in fun, and besides if Simon did not like him
    he would not be hosting the show.
    I made such a big mistake
    I got in touch with someone I went out with once, just to say hello. Now he won't leave me alone. I've told him I don't want to see him, that I was just saying hi, and he won't believe me. He acts like we're going to have a relationship and live happily ever after. He called me like 4 times before I ever got home from work, even though I told him what time I would be home. These were weird calls. One of them sounded like somebody else, not him at all.

    He's not a whacked out kid, or on drugs (at least not that I know of), he's in his 40's and is a seemingly responsible single parent.

    He's called a couple of times, ranting at me about me not answering the phone. He's called a couple of times and hung up. He just won't stop. I had to take my phone off the hook.

    I wrote him an email telling him to leave me alone. Maybe he hasn't checked his email tonight, I don't know.

    Anyway, this guy is seriously obsessive. He wasn't like this when I knew him before, although he did react rather badly when I broke it off.

    I think I'm dealing with a psycho here! I never really knew him very well before, and now I'm hoping I can get out of it without having to get the police involved.
    My FIL's doc made housecalls.
    My father-in-law died this past November, but for about six months before that, his MD made house calls. Truth be told, if my FIL had still been able to walk, he could have walked to his doc's office in about five minutes since it was only blocks away. It had gotten just so hard to move my 6Ɖ", 250-pound FIL into a car, drive him three blocks and then get him out of the car, into the office, etc. etc. Finally, the doc said, "You know what, Charlie. It's easier for me to come to you!" He never made an exact appointment time, just knew what day he'd come over. When there was a break in the patient's at the office, he'd come over to the house, and my mother-in-law made the doctor something to eat, as well. The doc didn't have a traditional black bag, but he carried a very cool, very compartmentalized backpack with him. And he only ever charged for an office visit, since, according to him, his office was nearly in my in-law's back yard. He was a nice guy.
    Okay...so the poison is not even made in the US?
    Some kind of terrorism? What? How the....What the...
    Man-made holidays...
    but you are all so quick to forget that the Bible from which you quote from was in fact man made as well.

    And if we are to only quote by the Bible as to what rules to follow to get into Heaven, you exclude a ton of other religions who believe they will get into Heaven or where ever based upon their man-made books as well!

    Is the Bible the only true verse? If so, then Christians are the ONLY true believers and will be the only ones to get into Heaven. Bull...

    Like I always said though, whatever floats your boat.

    Me personally, I do not want anyone in my room preaching to me on my death bed unless I personally asked them to do so.
    Just made burgers on my
    Yummy and FAST!

    I too never made Montana but in the 70s

    this film was shot completely in Montana and you get to see/feel so much of the environment you almost felt like you were there.....that part of the movie was worth seeing it...forget the plot


    not a bad plot though either, if'n ya like Jack Nicholson.......*lol*....which is why I went actually....Jack in the 70s....terrific to some folks, not  to some others (no flaming to commence here please).  I just thought if you could rent this movie, you'd enjoy it for the scenery. 


    Have a GREAT time on what sounds like a SPECTACULAR trip.


     



    I'd rather ID's were made harder to get so my next
    :/
    The thing that really made me wonder is that
    I am having problems reading and comprehending. I read like crazy. I always joked I could not afford my reading habit and got a library card instead. I actually retain what I read too.

    Now I am having to re-read something several times. In this business, that costs money.

    The other thing I've noticed is that I walk around all the time wondering what I was doing. I am a lot more confused too. She said this could be from the anxiety medicine and my depression. I honestly feel like I am losing my mind is the best way I can describe it! I cannot keep up with things. I get confused. I'm a mess. Also, I am too young to be having problems like that already, as far as my mind going or something.

    My PCP suggested I see a neurologist. I just went back to my old psychiatrist though because I knew my meds needed to be changed anyways and I needed to start seeing one again. I think maybe I will see about looking into it further. My brother is on Concerta, and I've thought about just taking one of his pills and seeing if it helped any to be able to tell the doctor that, but I know I shouldn't do that. Maybe I will go see the neurologist after all.
    I'm so made at my husband
    Honey, I have found that the majority of men in this world think that their job is the most important and no one has it as hard as they do.  I would tell him just for one day that you want him to do your job, plus take care of kids and keep a household running.  I bet that would make him not say another smart a** comment again!!  What would men be like if God hadn't created women??  I hate to imagine.
    That made me laugh.
    You are right about the gorgeous doc. My old OB doc years ago was so gorgeous. Beach bum, bleeched hair, dark skin and just gorgeous. I only saw him once. Not kidding. Couldn't go there.

    I hope your hysterectomy goes well when you have it. My best friend had one 6 months ago, and fortunately she was able to have a vaginal hysterectomy and not abdominal. She was fine in a couple of weeks. Mainly just sore. Lots of good thoughts for you.
    I believe my husband has just made sm
    a claim on the dog. Not that we need another dog, we already have 2, but it's a very pretty dog. I'm waiting for the animal shelter to call me back with an update. The phone isn't staffed all day as the volunteers all work part time. Only 1-2 people man the phones. The animals are all well cared for and we do donate regularly at every canister we see. I hope he is going to be okay. I haven't been hardly able to work worrying.
    I agree with you and have made up
    my mind to just ignore, and not even open anything negative on this subject again. Thanks for your input. You are absolutely correct. To acknowledge it is to fuel the fire. It will finally have to burn out.
    Made a mistake x2
    This is the second time that I tried to make a vacation around a big track and field event that DH runs in each year. We left last Friday for St. John New Brunswick. It's not a hot spot place, let me tell ya! We did manage a whale watch which was cool, and a day in Nova Scotia which included a flat tire in the middle of nowhere. Then, we moved down to Maine for another 5 days, and we're in the only dull spot in Maine -- Orono. Went to Bangor and spent the day in Acadia today, but I'm actually working from the hotel room now while DH runs in the meet. I don't know why I did this again. I must have been insane. So what am I doing this weekend? Working in a hotel room, and then driving 9 hours for home on Monday. sigh
    Don't know, but you made me CHUCKle!
    xx
    Not one reply as of 5 pm has made(sm)
    mention that Sadgirl has a child.

    Why is that not a huge factor/motivator in these replies?


    Made me laugh. When I go in for my
    BP check, I will use that line, but will say it is my
    husband's driving.

    Thanks for the funny.

    I made my son one a few years ago SM

    It was SpongeBob on one side and solid red on the other side.  He still loves it.  He is starting to outgrow it too, so I may make him a new one this year.  My other 2 would probably love one too, but the material is sort of expensive to make them all blankets that are big enough.  I'll have to think about it.

    Where are you? I think the movie was made not too far from me. nm
    !
    oh, your post just made ME cry....

    I so get that......*tears*.....I recently lost my dad, he was very_old but we were ThickAsThieves and for a long, long, long time, I'm talking decades and decades...how lucky was I?!?!?!!!  I say recently but it was nearly 3 years ago......I got to care for him during his illness and that was a blessing to me (10 years) along with outside help. 


    I wish you and your daughter THE BEST - and I don't know where you live or your financial situation, but if I had the resources, I would find a field where you know it's grown and scatter his ashes, Colombia comes to mind or Kentucky *lol* read the news - hey the Everglades in Florida!!  *lol*


    I, myself, want to be cremated and my ashes scattered over New Mexico, the Sangre DE Cristo Mountains near Santa Fe.  [Of course, my religious upbringing does not allow for this...but I'm not all that religious and certainly not in an organized fashion...it's between me and G_d, though one of my children is NOT happy about this *lol*] 



    oh no, ya did it again, jlynn, made me cry

    ya gotta stop that *lol* - You made realize that the same exists here, though there is a grandmother left but she is in France and is 80 and there's no real *closeness* there anymore that I can see/feel.....


    Sorry for the loss of your Dad too.....my Dad was kind of like Daddy during the bad times to the kids...so it was a huge loss to them but they had time to watch him, care back for him caring for them (pay it forward, so to speak), and had something with my father....so I feel they are lucky too.


    I gotta go back to work, playing here too long...have to finish a tape actually before 5-6 pm.


    Too funny, you ACTUALLY DO LIVE IN Kentucky......I only knew that from past history with the ex and reading the news, oh and I live in a community full of Colombians (my Colombian suggestion)....take care, you'll find the place, of this I'm certain!!  Let us know your decision, jlynn, if you care to share....


    That made me laugh...
    The image of 2 little girls standing there with switches in hand, crying after a fight...funny! Your dad was right on the money though, smart man!
    Actually someone MADE me some of those last year!! LOL (sm)
    and sent me an email this morning to remind me.
    lol. Made me think of wake-up sex.

    Your last line made me
    And I really, REALLY needed to laugh today...Thanks, Hayseed!  BTW, I bet you'd be an AWESOME mom (you can adopt me if you want!)
    I made these a few years ago and they were a big hit...
    my grandpa (who is 84) actually said I should go into business---LOL...I think he thought I had sewn them or something so he was quite impressed...they are really fun to make too...
    my mom made it good!
    Squeeze out the excess moisture; put some mayonaise (no imitation) all over the fish, then roll in crushed pepperidge farms herbal stuffing mix and place on sprayed cookie sheet and bake (i think it was about 400 or 450 for 15 min?) Yum!
    OP made the insinuation that
    she was told to stop which she was not.  As far as the statement "hijacked", the poster was simply asking if anyone else felt that way.  No need to get defensive or overreact with that. 
    We had our pictures made before the
    wedding so the ex saw it just before the wedding. (Maybe it is bad luck, lol). We didn't want to keep the guests waiting, so therefore majority of pictures were made about an hour before the ceremony.
    Many of those below, which is why I made macro
    xx
    thanks -- this made me feel better. nm
    nm
    You all have made me feel better already
    I have cried off an on since last night. Not just a whimpy cry...I mean a REAL cry. One minute I feel like I am in control, the next, I feel like a 13 year old girl whose friends all went out and didn't invite her...kinda childish, huh?
    Has anyone ever made any extra...sm

    money selling things on ebay?  I have went through the closets and have a lot of things I need to get rid of.  I am posting them on ebay.  After selling those things I may open an ebay store with things I may buy cheap and resell.  I even thought about making little throw pillows and throws and things.  I can make pillows.  My mom is great at sewing and I can sew some things.  Just a thought.  Anything to make some extra cash. 


    Has anyone had success selling on ebay?


    My mom has made money
    My mom made some beautiful quilts. Some she did sell at fairs. Also the quilt guild I used to belong to made quilts to donate to unwed mothers and other organizations. My mom's guild used to donate quilts to cancer wards in a hospital and hospice organizations.

    If I had more time I would do something like that, but I haven't done any quilting in a long time. Never enough time to do anything.
    my grandmother made them, I think
    she would change the water to "lessen the strong flavor" and then made a cheese sauce. Roasted sounds good.
    Oooh, my mom made that too!
    Thanks for the memory, I'll probably make some soon!
