I needed this

I read this today and loved it:  If winter comes, can spring be far behind? 


 


Thank you!! That is EXACTLY what I needed to know sm
I have 2 dogs, one who is VERY furry and I was concerned about dog hair cloggage.

Thanks for taking the time with all the great info :-)
Yes, he needed to go.
I don't know how Scott stayed in as long as he did. Nowhere near the talent of the others, although I believe the the two top contestants are Adam and Alison, who are miles above the rest. I think Adam is an amazing talent and should win. He is the only reason I am watching AI this season. Otherwise, it has gotten extremely boring. I never did understand the enthusiasm for Danny Gokey. Good voice, but he does not appeal to me at all.
You may not believe this and probably will not but thought you needed some help the other day
as I was reading the posts. You certainly came across not just as a person who was grieving but with the last post about the person committing suicide, I was thinking this does not sound exactly right. If I felt depressed and/or suicidal and felt like I could not handle things, your emergency room would probably see you and refer you to someone and then you would probably wind up waiting again. I doubt they would do anything specific for you. There are some 800 hot line crisis centers you can call.
Thanks so much to you all. I KNEW I needed help! :-)

FOOD IS NEEDED!
I volunteer at a food cupboard twice a month. Today I went in to fill requests for families in need, and the shelves of our little interfaith cupboard were nearly empty. It was a struggle to get together some basic items for four families.

This is a problem with food cupboards all over the country. At holiday times, food drives are held and shelves are full. Even during the school year, more donations come in as school and youth groups run food drives to help those in need. But during summer, donations slow to a trickle as people are busy with summertime activities or away on vacation. Food drives are forgotten, but people still need your help.

If you can, please consider donating to your local food cupboard. Anything you can give would be appreciated. Even a couple boxes of cereal or a jar of peanut butter can make a difference!
Thanks again so much..I needed to hear this.

A day doesn't go by that I don't pray for a miracle. As the obvious enabler, I just always feel if I helped her just this one last time, this would be the time she turns it all around and I want to be there for her. Everything positive she does, I praise her, only to be crushed the next minute for it was just a mirage. It wasn't really there. Every night I have gone to bed saying a pray that we can just get through another day, and honestly, some days, I wasn't sure that I wanted to wake up. I just couldn't do it one more minute. When you love someone with everything you have and realize it still is not enough, that right there is the most devastating feeling ever. For every tear she has cried, I've cried thousands.  I try to be strong so she thinks I am uncaring. If only she could see or feel what I feel inside.  If love could have saved her, she would be. I am going to put it in God's hand because I have nothing left to give. Everyone wonders how and why I have survived and gone through what I have..and honestly, I have no idea. I hate the thought that it has become such a habit that I just expect it. I wait for the calls to come every day, as they will, on the next crisis.  I wait for my day to be ruined and that is one of the reasons that I chose to work at home. I was embarrassed when she would call me 15 times at work, even though I told her not to, or she'd show up. Just barge through my office.  I've gotten beyond what people think, but I know my friends understand and love me for me. Thanks for listening. Another dark day. Sadly, I have had to pretend to be on vacations so she won't come around trying to manipulate me but then she calls me nonstop on my vacations to send her money. It honestly never stops and I don't think it ever will. Please everyone say a prayer for me...


Thank you so much for your kindness. It's just what I needed sm
right now. I've never been one to have the "victim mentality" although I can see how my post probably came off that way. They never gave me a chance from the start so you hit it right on when you called it a tribe mentality. I think a lot of it is jealousy - as my mom points out - I had that a lot growing up because I tend to get along with everyone - not a jealous bone in my body - and I can tend to irritate those who "don't like everyone" or who have sour attitudes.

When the poster said that she found it hard to believe that all 3 hate me for NO REASON I didn't want to respond because they do hate me for no reason. If you were to ask them why they don't like me or want me around their answer is, "just because I don't."

Anyways, your post was very kind and I am thankful for it. God bless you!
Gift help needed....

For my hubby's company Christmas party this year, we need to take a wrapped gift ranging in price of $18 and $22.  They are doing the "everyone pick a gift" sorta thing.  So, it will need to be for male or female, ranging in ages from 20-60.  See my dilemma?  I am thinking a gift card wrapped in a huge box.  LOL 


I would appreciate your suggestions!


Thanks!


No electric needed.

If they sleep together, they dont need electric heat, body heat will be enough. I would build a "cave" of strawbales, toss in some loose straw and there ya go. I wouldnt use blankies as if they get wet, they will freeze. Like lying on an ice cubes  Mostly, dogs just need to be out of.the wind.  If they dont sleep together, just build 2 caves.  Either way, should be snug so body heat will build a pocket of warmth around dog.

opinion needed
(some background info) My husband and I have been married for almost 10 years, been together for 15 years.  He has a friend whom he has been friends with since high school.  His friend is married and we have become somewhat friends as a couple.  I really don't like these people but I have NEVER let them know this.  Its really that I don't respect the things that they do, on the other hand they are very nice and would do anything for you so I tolerate them.  They have a garage that is full of pictures of naked girls so I don't allow my children in there (my husband doesn't get this but that's another issue altogether) and they are very "sexual" with each other regardless of who is around them (again I don't like my children seeing this).  Needless to say unless I can find a babysitter for my kids I don't generally like to go to their house.  Well my husband turned 40 last week and this couple wanted to take him out for his birthday.  Apparently they started planning this with my husband a few weeks before his actual birthday.  My problem is I wasn't invited.  I could see if it was just the guys but the fact that the husband and wife were taking my husband out along with another friend (male) and I wasn't invited bothers me.  It immediately made me think that they were taking him to a strip club (which I don't like him to go to, again another issue in itself).  My husband wasn't going to go but then Friday he decided he was going.  I once again asked him who was going and he said the  couple and a friend, still not invite for me.  I confronted him with it when he got home from work and told him that I wasn't mad at him but very irritated with the fact that I wasn't invited.  He replied that maybe his friend didn't think I could get a sitter to go out (which I am very fortunate and I NEVER have any problems getting a sitter) but that he wouldn't go.  He didn't say "geez hon, of course your invited, lets get a sitter and both go", nope he just said "i won't go".  A week or so before this he went to this friends house for a football game/party, again I wasn't invited, my husbands reply was "well you don't like football", I feel I should have been able to make my own decision as to whether or not I wanted to go whether I like football or not.  Then today for the superbowl my husband tells me he is giong to a party at a coworkers house and then he will be home.  Then later a friend of his comes to the house and she's gonna go with him oh but no they aren't going to the friend's house they are going to a different friends house, then the pub and then will be home by halftime, too bad I have to work and can't go.  I guess at first I thought it was the first friend who wasn't inviting me and now I'm thinking my husband just doesn't want to be around me.  What would you do?  I have stayed very calm through all this but its really grating on my nerves now and I was hoping to get some opinions.  Thanks so much...
I definitely needed him a few weeks ago.
Definitely HOT. What did you think of the season finale?
Thanks for the site! Just what we needed! (nm)

Why did they say your dog needed a bath?
I just throw my collie mix outside when it rains and maybe take him to the groomer 2 or 3 times a year. If he was rolling around in mud and dead animals, that would be different.
LOL. Thanks. I needed that after the morning I just had. nm


Ok for all us that diagnose others sometimes, help needed here

I have some symptoms here and hoping maybe some of you have heard of before and can give me some "diagnosing." I do it myself quite a bit. Like I told my aunt, after doing this before the telephone was invented, sometimes we hear so much and pick up on things so hopefully someone out there can give me a hand. Here we go and thanks so much:


Pain on my right hand side around my rib cage, it's not a constant pain, I feel it when I take deep breaths.


Pain around abdomen when having a bowel movement


Slight pain in abdomen when walking


Some abdomen pain comes on suddenly while sitting still but not often.


A pain in or around my neck that is noticeable when I burp.


Needed that one for today. Thanks!!! NM.

BCP helped me immensely, but I needed to take sm
something for nausea for the first week. Can't remember what it was, but it really helped. It was an antinausea med for pregnant women. You should see a gynecologist, though, to see if you have something that could be causing the pain, like endometriosis, or even cervical stenosis (what I had) which was helped with a D&C. Don't suffer. Life is too short.


What's shocking is that a rule is needed.
Many here have acted like this is normal behavior and should be excused and there are reasons for it, etc.  Sure there are.........and there also many, many kids who do it to be obnoxious and so it has become a problem - like so many other things - but these parents continue to excuse their kids.
how many of you needed scholarships for college
tuition for you or a child and didn't qualify - did ya know the illegal immigrants are getting them?  That's when I went off!
This will be total and much needed catharsis....

I am almost 54 years old and the permeating thought in my brain is that I am "a monstrosity," something my mother called my sister and I because we were tall.  My father is still alive at 86 and says about some "pretty little thing."  THAT drives me INSANE because I am not.  He asks when I am going to play piano for him, and I laugh, but I think, "Never, because you have always criticized me."  Still does.  God help us all.  That's the thing that has totally messed up my brain.  I am a "monstrosity" and will never be a "pretty little thing."  There.  Now I have said it on the internet. 


But, FYI, I am not a tall humongous woman, I am just tall and not a "pretty little thing."  There, I typed it and that's almost like saying it out loud. 


This thread ROX!


No reality check needed here (sm)

as far as any animal abuser goes.  These are not little children--these are TEENAGERS.  Dollars to doughnuts they've done this before....They were just caught this time. 


You are right, cats are animals and not people.  Animals cannot speak for themselves.  They cannot call anyone for help.  They cannot defend themselves against the ultimate predator--us, but yet we brought them into this world to make our lives richer.  It is therefore our responsibilty to ensure their safety.


You are fortunate you can stay naive to such atrocities commited against animals and can shrug it off as just a couple of messed up girls who need a hug.   It's just a newspaper clipping to you.

Bathtub opinions needed please!
Hi ladies! We are building a new house and our contractor needs to know the dimensions of our new tub in the master bath so he can build the platform around it. My husband has now decided it would be easier to just put in one of those stand alone claw foot tubs. I do not like them, but we are selling the house in 2 years and building another one for our permanent home. So I need opinions. Do you like the looks/functionality of these types of tubs or would you prefer a normal soaking tub with a ceramic surround? Don't hold back, I need honest opinions. Thanks!
My kids mostly got clothes, which they really needed sm
My son't (17) fav gift was a 20.00 indoor remote control helicopter. He has had so much fun with it. When my daughter (14) was shopping for a cousin she saw a Doodle Bear and went on and on about how much she loved hers when she was younger. DH got her one (I didn't even know about it) and that was was her fav. gift.
Thank you. That's how I feel also and I just needed to hear it from others.

Bulemic teenager - advice needed...sm

I've suspected for a while that my soon to be 16 stepdaugher is bulemic but her dad doesn't believe it.  Right after she eats a meal she goes to the bathroom and stays a long time.  She has lost about 40 lbs over the past year.  Today while doing laundry I found a note that she wrote and says:


Eat & Die.  No eat for a week (in & out)  Lose 10 lbs.  Eat again.


I am going to share this with my hubby when he calls while on a lunch break from work.  Perhaps now he'll believe me.   I've called the pediatrician's office and left a message for them to call me with the name of a psychologist treating eating disorders to take her to. 


Any ideas of how to handle him if he still is in denial?  I'm sure the stepdaughter will deny the eating disorder... she did before when I asked her about it.  Overall she & I do have a good relationship but this is an area I know she's not being honest about.

PS! - I knew I needed reading-glasses when - sm
my boyfriend & I would sit in restaurants across the table from each other, each of us holding up the menu for the other one to read. (He needed them, too.) The waitress came up and said, "Honey, you need reading glasses!"
Yeah, I really needed a 'pick-me-up' tonight...

Sore throat remedies needed...sm

I'm on day #4 of a severe sore throat.  Ran a fever days 1 and 2.  Really no sinus congestion to aggravate it.  My 7-year-old daughter has the same thing but with sinus drainage.  The pediatrician confirmed yesterday she doesn't have strep and this is all a virus that is going through the community as they've seen a lot of this same virus over the past week.  We found out that 2 other kids in her class have the same muck.


We're doing salt water gargles and I'm using Cepacol lozenges.  We're also drinking lots of hot and cold fluids.  I can't use TheraFlu because it has ingredients that I'm allergic to.   I can't eat anything other than drinking liquid soups because it hurts too bad.  Definitely not a fun way to lose weight for sure!


What's your favorite remedy to make a sore throat feel better?

Advice needed - school incident

Okay, I will try to make this short.  We send our son to Catholic school.  We are Catholic but we also love the atmosphere, i.e. safe and a good community environment.  He is in second grade.


When I pick him up today, he tells me this classmate girl has stabbed him in the arm with her pencil!  He had to have an ice pack on it for an hour and it still hurts him.  She poked thru his shirt and now it's bruised with a red mark in the center.  She has a short fuse and apparently was mad that he was invading her "space."  They have 4 stations at one table, so it could be difficult for a child to discern where one space ends and another begins.


I am pi**ed off about this.


1.  The school didn't call me, but the they did the other mother.


2.  The girl's mother (whom I know) hasn't called me about it.


3.  I spoke with the principal briefly because his teacher had left by the time I got there, but he is going to talk to the girl and my son about it tomorrow and about personal space.  She was in his office for an hour until dismissal today.


I know if it was my kid, I would be calling that mother right up and apologizing.  I am so ticked off right now about it that I am worried if I do call, I will lose my cool.  


The other thing is this:  We have always taught our son to respect others and treat others how you would want to be treated.  He has a good moral compass.  He is also a big and tough kid.  We have always taught him to never hurt others unless it's in self defense.  I feel as if they are brushing this off because he is a boy.  I think if the shoe was on the other foot and he did it to her, it would be bad news.  All hubby and I know is that we don't want it happening again.  How do we get our point across?  SHould I call the mom and tell her that?  My son told me this is not the first time she has done this (poking with the pencil) but it is the first time it hurt like this.  She could have gotten him in the eye or hurt someone else altogether!  I don't think she belongs in that school if she continues to act that way.  The school doesn't have a special needs program. 


I am so mad right now I could spit.   


I feel that if food stamps are really needed...sm
Then there is nothing wrong with it.
Just because a person is on food stamps doesn't generally mean they are disabled or can't work. Some people on them are those that work for minimum wage and cannot afford to buy groceries especially a single mother who makes minimum wage. Then again some people just don't work at all and get them because they don't want to do any better. It depends. Welfare is lots of times abused.
I wouldn't think people on food stamps would be required to buy name brand. Maybe it is just the person's preference. I don't know.
Sister and her child needed to get out of a bad marriage (sm)

I offered her to stay with us for a few weeks until they could get things together, find a place of their own.   It has now been over 4 weeks.  She is seeing her husband on a daily basis and they are constantly on the phone with each other.  Their child  (14) is involved sometimes but it seems to be mostly the 2 of them that want to be together.  BTW one of the reasons she finally decided to leave was because he was physically and verbally abusive to their child.  


Well, like I said they have been here over 4 weeks with no responsibilities and no expenses.  I actually think she might be giving her husband some of her cash.  He is on unemployment and living with a friend, but drugs are expensive and he certainly isn't interested in changing his hobbies. 


If they are saving to get an apartment, great.  But in the meantime I am preparing and providng all their meals.  They even take lunches to school and work.  My grocery bill is out of this world.   There are no offers to help clean up the kitchen after meals or even attempts to do their own laundry.  My dining room/family room are taken over by their supplies and our garage is jam packed with their furniture.


I have to say or do something before I blow.  Don't you think I am within my rights to flat ask her how much she has saved up and what her plans are? 


Found out answer I needed, not on Google though. NM

Thanks to everyone for your awesome advice and much needed support. I showed up at my son's SM

school yesterday afternoon and went with him to his last three classes of the day which happen to the ones he's doing the worst in.  He was mortified, mad, and I thought his head would pop off.  I think I made my point.  After school, I went with him to his English class because she asked that he stay after so she could help him catch up on his assignments.  So I sat in the back of the class while my son and his teacher worked.  And while I sat there I decided to write out some rules.


Last night my son and I sat down and talked and he said he'd do anything I asked him to do if I would please never come to his school again.  I simply said that depends on you and we left it at that.  I grounded him indefinitely - until I get some good reports back from his teachers.  No TV, no video games, no friends over, or telephone.


I don't know what will happen, but I have to say I feel pretty good just by taking control of the situation and going to his school.  A couple of weeks ago I was saying "what am I supposed to do, go to school and follow him around??!?"  And now I know that answer is yes, if that's what I have to do.  I feel less stressed. 


Thanks to everyone!


Opinions needed: A recurring inlaw situation...


My son just had his 5th birthday party.  For the past 3 years, my sister-in-law (hubby's brother's wife) has "forgotten" to bring the present to my son's party and promises to give it to him the next time she sees him.  Well, we have yet to see a present from the last 2 birthdays, too early to say for this year, but given the batting average.....


I can understand when one does not have the $$ to purchase a gift, but I really don't appreciate the dishonesty.  We are trying to teach our children that it is better to give than to recieve, but when promised a gift the next time he sees them, he is just disappointed when it doesn't happen. 


Do I say something to them?  or just keep the peace and my mouth shut?  What are the chances that she really is forgetting? 



Hilarious post inside. I needed it this morning! sm


"The Obedient Wife"

There was a man who had worked all his life, had saved all of his money,
and was a real "miser" when it came to his money.

Just before he died, he ! said to his wife..."When I die, I want you to
take all my money and put it in the casket with me. I want to take my
money to the afterlife with me."

And so he got his wife to promise him, with all of her heart, that when
he died, she would put all of the money into the casket with him.

Well, he died. He was stretched out in the casket, his wife was sitting
there - dressed in black, and her friend was sitting next to her. When
they finished the ceremony, and just before the undertakers got ready to
close the casket, the wife said,

"Wait just a moment!"
She had a small metal box with her; she came over with the box and put
it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket down and they
rolled it away. So her friend said,

"Girl, I know you were not foolish enough to put all that money in there
with your husband."

The loyal wife replied, "Listen, I'm a Christian; I cannot go back on my
word. I promised him that I was going to put that money into the casket
with him."




You mean to tell me you put that money in the casket with him!?!?!?"

"I sure did," said the wife. "I got it all together, put it into my
account, and wrote him a check.... If he can cash it, then he can spend
it."

Send this to every clever female you know, and to every man who thinks
they are smarter than women!!!


Creative ideas needed for an adoption party...sm

Hi,


We are finalizing the adoption on Monday of our 7-year-old foster daughter.  We're working on setting a date for a party to honor this event and are trying to come up with some creative ideas of how to make this extra special but without spending a cazillion bucks. 


Please post your ideas.  Thanks!

Gift for receptionist answers - no more response needed sm
Thanks for the response(s). I just wanted to give her something special. She is a receptionist at a medical office I go to and I am not familiar with her culture. I have decided on something such as a candle, etc., I would like to have given her something very special as she is such a nice person and has simple tastes. My DIL is of Arab descent and she is also the nicest person you would ever want to meet in your life and I know she appreciates certain ethnic gifts. I don't think we should judge people by their country of origin but try our darndest to please them by giving them a personal gift they can use. That was my reason for posting. I don't like to insult other ethnicities because we are, of course, all in the same lifeboat. My DIL does her darndest to give me certain gifts I hold dear, even though she would never have use for them herself. That's what the message of Christmas is to me, acceptance of each other as we are and peace on earth, good will toward all. No more responses needed, thanks.
Opinion needed regarding Eagle Scout Award

My nephew is receiving his Eagle Scout Award on Saturday.   Are we suppose to give him a gift of some sort?  I told my mother that I did not think so since he had a lot of donations from our town.  What is your opinion?  In case anyone is curious for his project he beautified the VFW Hall in his town by planting a memorial garden.  I am always impressed with boys who stick with scouts until the age of 18.

Hydrationis what is needed here. Kidney failure is being prevented.
Cost is high but well worth it. One can also get IV drip with lactated ringers and do it yourself. Fluid is seeped into area between shoulder blades to be absorbed by puppy's body. One of mine needed a blood transfusion, both needed IV antibiotics. Five days in house is typical.
