If you have been involved with a compulsive or pathological liar, do they do this?  When almost caught in a lie, they make up something huge, saying something terrible happened and then blame you for not being more sensitive, sort of trying to turn it around so that you end up apologizing to them? Is that how it works with them?

most dangerous gang here in America - the world has become a very dangerous place....all some of us wanted was peace and love an all we got was guns, terrorism, gangs, death, and more destruction!

makes me VERY ILL..........

My son did that a couple of times when he was about 3, and I was telling a guy at work about it.  He said his girlfriend's son did that all the time and actually got brain damage from it, which really freaked me out.  The next time he did it I just got down on my knees right in his face and told him verrrry seriously that he could really hurt himself doing that and let him know it was unacceptable.  He must have sensed something in my tone, because he's never done it since!

It sounds like he just needs to figure out a better way to manage his anger.  Maybe buy a book about how to help kids deal with outbursts or get him a couple of counseling sessions?  Does he ever express what is making him so mad verbally to you so that he can vent?  It sounds like he may just need to get it all out, and instead of doing it in a healthy way he hurts himself, so maybe that anger could just be redirected.

Maybe you could also explain to him that everybody learns new stuff.  Tell him if he doesn't let people teach him he will only be as smart as a 5-year-old his whole life!  Tell him he's smart for a 5-year-old but no one is going to want to hire someone with a kindergarten education!  I don't know if he will understand those exact words, but just try to get the point across to him that even adults learn new things every day and that's what makes us smarter.  Tell him to at least watch the way you do it and consider doing it your way.  Maybe if he knows he has a choice to do it your way or his way he will feel better.  Kids want choices too, I guess.  I don't know for sure, so like I said - I would try to find a book on the subject too or something.  Good luck! Before I had kids I had no idea how smart and sly you have to be to constantly figure them out!

Borax sold in the supermarkets for laundry washing and other uses is not poisonous to the public.  However, REAL boric acid is......just be careful with it.......that's all.....regarding pets and people.......

Patti is right - aspirin can safely be given to dogs.  It's Tylenol (acetaminophen) that is dangerous to give to dogs, and I believe also to cats. (Anyone with doubts, please call the nearest veterinarian, but I know several vets have told me so, I've had probably 20 dogs in my life,  and though I love cats, I'm allergic to them )  The animal livers can't handle Tylenol like human livers (and it's also very dangerous to our livers in overdoses)   Chocolate is also bad for dogs, by the way. 

I came across this blog today on Craigslist:  http://www.thechaistory.blogspot.com/

And if you have a dog, it's a must-see.  It details what happened to a dog that was severely injured by a dog toy called a "Pimple Ball" made by Four Paws, Inc.  The dog ended up losing his tongue, and the pain he had to endure was excruciating. 

The dog's owner relates that the Four Paws Co. hasn't owned up to the fact that its toy is dangerous, and he's calling for a international boycott of Four Paws, Inc.  After watching his video links of his poor dog's suffering, even though I have cats, I plan to be sure I don't purchase ANYTHING from this company, andhopefully you won't either.

Hoax or not, the long-term safety of cell phones is still very much in question!  They are not innocuous, and emit harmful electromagnetic radiation in varying amounts.  Just as policemen's radar guns laid in their laps have caused testicular cancer, so the incidence of brain tumors from cell phone usage has also been on the rise. 
That very thing happened to my stepdad, a brain tumor & aneurysm right above his right ear, where he holds his cordless phone constantly.  Cell phone signals decrease fertility of humans & animals alike, & Swedish researchers have proven that they are ESPECIALLY damaging to the brains of children!  Cell phone-using kids are FIVE times more likely to get brain cancer.  I gave mine up over 5 years ago & will never use another one on a routine basis.  This issue is being covered up, but is certain to become the controversy of the 21st century, just as tobacco was in the 20th century.

One time about 5 years ago, I was driving on the interstate, my SO now DH riding with me.  Was just passing the rear of a trucker, cars behind me so there were witnesses to this and I couldn't just slam on my brakes, put on his signal and tried to pull out anyway.  Since I was already passing him, kept going, and he ran me off the road to the center.  Pulled back on and continued to pass him, had his window open and flipped me off.  I didn't see it because I was trying to control the car, but the funny part was my DH (SO) rolling down the window and hanging out giving him a double one back all the way until I got in front of the truck.  I said WHAT is going on!!  He told me the bas%$@d flipped you off.  Come on, they're high enough up to see there's a car right in front of them they want to pass.  I told SO I'm slowing down and get that guy's plate number so I can report him.  He slowed WAY down and stayed so far back that I finally gave up... Guess he wasn't in such a hurry after all.  We still laugh about my husband's ~chivalry~ that day, him hanging out there giving him the double what for!  Wish I had a pic of that for posterity

Not dissing truckers here, my own brother was one for quite a while and have had a couple who stopped to help me and went out of their way when I had a flat tire on the interstate one time in rush-hour traffic on Friday afternoon.  My brother said that was really nice of them because it's money out of their pocket, but he did always say to report truckers who are playing games because it's so dangerous.

DS (15 yrs old) came home from school yesterday and I asked him what was new. He said the usual - "Not much."

Then.... "Oh, yeah, we learned how to put on a condom in sex class."

I about fell over!!!! Apparently, the teacher had a ... uh... plastic "subject" and she asked for a volunteer to come up and apply the condom to the ... uh... model. And it's called "Health class," but he refers to it as "sex class."

Whatever happened to food fights in school????

No, seriously, I'm glad they learn this stuff. You know what they say, "The More You Know...!"

There are online websites documenting how many men versus women in each city of this country and the number of women today far outweigh the number of men......

jes sayin'............. 

One time quite awhile ago I was pushing my youngest through the mall in his stroller.  There were two boys goofing around in the middl of the mall with the parents right nearby.  I had to stop suddenly because one of the darlings wasn't watching where he was going and fell over the stroller.  I said, "Excuse me!" with just a bit of sarcasm and the father had the nerve to yell at ME because I was rude.  I then informed him that his kid was the rude one and kept walking.  That one still makes me shake my head.

what kind of lettuce/other green leafy stuff do you like when you order/make a salad?

A couple of times I've gone in restaurants and they have brought me a salad that looked like they went out back and pulled weeds. Now, I love veggies, but that's some scary stuff. I'm simple..I just want iceberg lettuce!...then I can add other goodies that I can identify.

I have only met one (1) pit bull in my life.  It was very pleasant, wanted to be petted, and never hostile.  What I did notice is how muscular it was and I remember thinking that I wouldn't want that dog to snap at me.  All dog breeds are capable of being aggressive (especially if there is a dominance issue), but some breeds are more muscular and less *intidimated* by humans than other breeds.   It seems to me (dog experts, please correct me) it would be easier to pull a Yorkie or a Cocker Spaniel off an attacked person than a pit bull.  I don't know how that applies to bigger breeds like labs or retrievers. 

However, my humble opinion does not make up for the fact that you could face the loss of a loved family pet.  I hope it works out for you.

Anyone remember how the old stores were when there were 'Main Streets'? Remember the wood floors and the merchandise in wooden bins on tables? Remember the cookies and candy they sold that was all encased in glass? No escalators, and only the best stores had elevators? Elevators with a man asking 'what floor'?, elevators that creaked and had criss cross bars across the front, instead of doors that closed? Evening in Paris perfume for our mom's at Christmas, Old Spice or hankies with his initial on them for dad? Remember when all you could use was cash? And of course, those wonderful lunch counters? I remember one of them sold sardine sandwiches! Anyone remember?

My son and his best friend, along with their dates went to a quite expensive restaurant before their senior prom in downtown Atlanta. Between the 2 boys, they probably had just enough for dinner, no dessert.

After their meal, the waiter brought out 2 big plates of dessert. Well, the boys kinda panicked...not knowing if the girls had ordered the desserts behind their backs or not, and knowing that they couldn't afford to pay for them.

Long story short, the waiter told the kids that someone in the restaurant had sent over the dessert and picked up their check! My son was so excited, he called me from the restaurant...thinking his dad and I had done this wonderfully generous act. It was tempting to take the credit, but we didn't.

They have no idea who it was but it made their night! I know, not related, but just a nice prom story!

My MIL is OBSESSED with whether or not we have any money and what we do with our money.  It IRRITATES me to no end!  I mean we HAVE our own money, we don't ask her for money, so get out of our bees wax!

She came to our house when I was re-decorating my bathroom.  I was doing it in roses and I was buying the stuff for it piece by piece and she was in the store with me looking at stuff and I showed her the garbage can I was going to get and it had roses and matched everything else, although I didn't get it that day.  SOOOO my MIL goes to the dollar store and buys me a plain white trash can and brings it over and tells me and my husband that she got that for a dollar and SAVED ME $19.00 for the 20 bucks that I was going to spend on a garbage can!!!!!  I told her I wanted the other one because it went with my theme and she told me that was ridiculous because this one serves the same purpose!  I was so mad, but trying to hold my tonge and then my husband told me he didn't want me getting the other one cause it may "hurt her feelings".  He said if i got the other one to just trade them out when she came over.  FURIOUS, FURIOUS, FURIOUS, that woman STAYS in our business, it's horrible!

does anyone dip their c. beans in baking chocolate for snacks?  I heard you can do this, but wondered if they are real hard, too strong or just plain tasty this way???
