Ain't that the truth, Sylvia?!?!?!!!!

Sylvia, I happen to agree with you.

Anytime anyone has the slightest differing opinion of something they are labeled a troll. We think for ourselves and have our own opinions; if you want affirmation and agreement, please state that in your original post. What a bunch of co-dependents!


John Edwards and Sylvia Browne

I used to watch John Edwards, but he's no longer on TV in my area. I do watch Montel when Sylvia is on every chance I get. I have tried to get on the shows from time to time, but it hasn't happened yet. I'm trying to find a more local psychic, but the nearest one is 30 miles away and I no longer have a vehicle and none of my friends or even hubby would go with me.


I also find brand new shiny pennies lying face up on the ground a lot of times.


When our grandson was very young, about 4 yo, he wanted my husband to push him on the swing. My hubby was tired from working all day and told him he would do it tomorrow. The grandson looked him straight in the eye and said, "When you were young, I used to push you all the time." That stopped hubby in his tracks. (His father used to push him on the swing.) Hubby spent the next 2 hours pushing our grandson on the swing.


I could go on and on on some of my experiences, but all I can say is that I'm happy they happen. It makes me feel good that they are watching over us.


Just wish they would give me some good numbers to playthe lotto.


LOL, so true. Sylvia is such a scam; check this out.

There are books also by Sylvia Brown or watch Montel Wednesdays.
My father passed away 5 years ago on 12/25 and I also would like to get some "sign" from him.
Fraud
I use to work at a bank.  You daughter can go to the bank and tell them she wants to dispute the charges that she did not make.  The bank has to then deal with Big Bobs and get it resolved.  It may take a while, but usually it turns out good.  Also if this does not work tell her to contact the better business burea she can do this on line.
It's not fraud sm

If we didn't have insurance, they would have to pay the full bill.  This is not fraud. 


If you must know, the money would go in our daughter's college fund, and NOT our bank account.


REGARDING FRAUD AND BOBS

Was anyone involved with the fraud that is going on in Bobs Department stores. My daughter who is at college called me today to tell me there is a lot of online charges made to her account that she did not make.  She called the bank and they told her because she had make debit purchases from Bobs that someone got her debit card #.  I had read about that and had told her last month to watch her statement after reading it. Needless to say she has closed out that account but she had just deposited  $500.00 in there on Saturday to buy books and it is now gone.  The bank told her she might never get that money back. This was scholarship money. I have to charge her books for her because I don;t have it.  Has anyone had this problem?  Have any advice. 


UPDATES ON FRAUD

My daughter just called.  She went to the bank , they gave her back at the 75 dollars that was because she was overdrawn but it was not her fault.  She filled out forms and they told her it will take time but she will get it back.  They  set her up with a whole new checking/debit card.   The only thing is they told her she did not need my name on it and even took my name off her savings.  I don't like that idea because if I need to transfer money over to her or something happens to her I cannot access that count.  She is only 18.  I will have to explain all that to her at another time.  It is kind of hard when she is in MA and I am in CT.   Thanks again for everyones help


Need advice, please - is this fraud?

Interesting what can come to us in the mail.  My hubby had gone to a gastroenterologist last year, his first visit, and had been scheduled for a colonoscopy.  I didn't have a good feeling about the doc, as he came in for three minutes, did no exam to speak of and the $300 bill danged near beat us home!!  I cancelled the scope and we moved on.  This was back in October ག.


Today, guess what?  In the mail comes a letter stating that he had missed his scheduled appointment for 10/23/06 and now owes this doctor $100!!!!  Well, firstly, I cancelled the appt.  Secondly, it is nine months since he supposedly missed this appt.  Nine MONTHS!!  I am kind of wondering if perhaps this is some way of the doc's office trying to squeeze money out of folks.  Would this be fraud, do you think?????


I will be calling the doc's office tomorrow to see what their explanation about this is - I think I actually may ask them if it is some kind of joke.  Anyhow, just wondered if anyone had ever experienced this sort of thing before. 


Thanks in advance.


HC


That is called fraud.
x
This, I think, falls under the fraud category
There are people who use an illness or even a fake one to gather money like this. Some are prosecuted. Who are you to judge? Don’t know there but I would judge and say pretty lousy person, jerko, underhanded, dishonest and a few more I know cannot post on this board.
EBAY QUESTION POSSIBLE FRAUD sm

I bought something on ebay for $12.00.   I got the notice saying your charge card will be charged.  It has been 10 days and the seller has not emailed to tell me when it will be shipped.  I have emailed her once a day for 10 days with no response.   How do you report this to Ebay so I don't get charged?  


Thanks. 


Sick of disability/insurance fraud?

   I am.  I'm tired of playing by the rules and paying through the nose.  I'll happily wear a red shirt with whistleblower painted all over it.    I am minding my business, my tax money and my future.


I think names of individuals receiving federal/state/VA disability funds should be made public.   I'm sure psych advocates will have a cow, but actually psych is one of the most abused disability diagnoses.  I'd be willing to say forego psych patients and just list those with physical disability receiving money.  Oh yes, I know it's subjective. Just like I know the guy receiving all kinds of money while taking morphine for "back pain" and riding his motorcyle.


   Common sense would not hurt - how about anyone receiving disability income specifically for a back injury should not be issued a motorcycle license/insurance.  I'd appreciate hearing any measures you think would work.


    Please save the indignation over loss of privacy - I'm talking about federal and state money that comes out of the taxpayer's pockets.  I'll bet everyone on this forum can name someone they know is getting money they don't deserve.  If you don't agree, you must not be in that age group that will retire with zero SS funds left or perhaps won't be one of the population who needs and deserves disability income and will never see it.  I hope it does not happen to you.


i care about child abuse, welfare fraud, and
dumping of young males to the streets, so they lessen the competition for the multi-wife thing. This is all well-documented. This is not about just polygamy -- which is also against the law, but its the abuse of children and abuse of our welfare system -- all under the banner of religion. If it was just about men taking multiple ADULT wives, the government would not likely have stepped in to even enforce that law.
No! That sounds too desperate. TIME. Just give it TIME. If it is real, then sm
something will definitely evolve. If you like him, flirt back! Don't act desperate because if he DOES like you, then the suspense will just make him want to get to know you more. Trust me on this.

I worked in the medical records department of a hospital when I was single and dated a few co-workers in my early 30s. It was fun. Nothing serious came about any of the relationships.

This sounds like fun - the beginning of maybe something to come....Keep us informed.
Totally agree, get these from time to time since teens...sm
It's a neuro condition, it does not mean there is anything at all wrong with you, it is actually related to narcolepsy, hypnagogic (sp? I just got up!) hallucinations, etc. And I HATE when I get these, it is always freaky, my siblings get this too, at times. I can "go away" for years and years before you get another episodes, so don't worry! I heard that when you are under a lot of stress or are very busy with things that this happens more??? Take care!!
It's time to stop when you or the kid(s) feel it is time, and no sooner. sm
My grandmother (who passed away at the young age of 107 back in the mid 1990s) was STILL celebrating every little holiday for all of her many kids and grandkids, and she would STILL give me a chocolate bunny every Easter, as she had since I was a toddler and even though I was 40ish at the time (and I still delighted in biting its head off in front of her, as I had also done since I was a toddler, which always met with mock disapproval from her).

Don't let anyone dampen your joy in celebrating your traditions.
The very 1st time he talked about killing you, was the time
The guy sounds like a psycho.
Rachael Ray has a segment from time to time
on using the bottom of the bottle receipes (i.e. bar-be-q sauce, peanut butter, maple syrup) and I have used many of her ideas and been amazed at how far you can stretch a dollar that way. Go to her website, it will give you many ideas.
Oh Amy, surely there was a man who "kept" you from time to time..
or you were at least married and had access to money!
It was a great time - I just hate the time we are in now
I liked your post. Thanks for replying It's nice to know other people were raised like me. We seem to appreciate the things we have. Oh I should've also said we didn't have A/C growing up. My parents idea of A/C was having my sister and I wave a piece of cardboard in front of them. HA HA HA.

I just couldn't stand the 90s and 2000s are even worse. I hate all the politics going on today, the world events, the bleak future. The degenerates running around, listening to kids talk back to their parents, girls gone wild, etc, etc. I'm grateful my grandparents and mom are not alive anymore to have to go through this with us.

I love watching old movies and the music of the 40s/50s. If I was alive back then I would've been doing the jitterbug and all those other fun dances. Life seemed simpler and cleaner (even though I've got a mouth like a sailer - guess I got that from my Army days).

I wouldn't mind the turn of the century either. I love the clothing and the simple life. Those are the times when the husband took care of the wife. If I could be transported back to the 1800s I surely would in a second.
Time out and then spanking if time out
If we are out in public however, we do not go home. Spanking right there and then and the kids learn REAL QUICK mom means business. I do not mess around and I have a 17-year-old now that has enlisted in the military and THANKS me for his tough upgrowing. It helped him through basic training.
Well, I have questioned myself from time to time.
I figured this was typical.  DD has lots of friends but two real close friends.  I guess this is all part of building social skills.  I am glad I did okay then. 
Same thing happens to me from time to time - sm
if I roll over too quickly. I have positional vertigo. There is not too much you can do about it except try not to move or get up too quickly from a supine position. I have never had an earache in my life either so that has nothing to do with it. I don't ever feel sick from it though, just more of a nuisance for me every now and then. If it keeps happening obviously get checked out, you may have a more severe case, though again there really not much you can do about it, all it is is some particles in your ear breaking loose and that causes the dizziness, etc.
If I had not asked time and time again
for the daughter to ask me are you upset- are you angry- are you in a bad mood- People can think what they want- She is a very intelligent person and my asking to please should be enough. Gest of the posting. Selfish, OMG, that is really a laugh. I have and do take care of others well before my needs- I have given of myself, my time, my finances, the whole thing until, now this will sound selfish- it is my time now. I take care of me now- this is selfish but this is the truth. I raised my family, did all I could (still do for the daughter if she needs assistance which she never asks for but I offer)and now in golden years, me time.
Yes. Next time put a time limit on it., but is there any way you
nm
I keep it in the office part time and on the patio part time
I've got the self-cleaning electric litter box (and boy is it worth the $100), and have a huge throw rug under it with a smaller rug by the litter pan that has a bumpy mat on top of it to catch the excess. I keep it in the office from April to October but on the patio from October to March as it is too hot in FL to leave the patio door open for them during the summer months. I also put out a spare box when we go out of town for the weekend.

Try a box that has deeper sides maybe, or not as much litter in it?
time time time
when I divorced my husband, I felt the same way.  some mornings I would wake up crying and missing him, but I really knew that if I was still with him, things would have been the same.  chin up, chest out!!!  and forward march.  it's just hard.  you should read the Sweet Potato Queens books.  reading them in order is best, but the newest one is the Sweet Potato Queens Wedding Planner/Divorce Guide.  I say read them in order because she refers back to things in the other books that you will be in the dark about, but your situation sounds critical so maybe just jump right into the Divorce Guide.  go to sweetpotatoqueens.com.  I have read them all over and over and they are fabulous!!!!  need some humor at this time in your life.  good luck to you!!
First time I saw it
I really like Jen. Didn't care too much for Sadie.
I think maybe for the first time or maybe just the first time
in a long time - your well is a little more dry - it needs replenishing.... you give and you give and you give and even the most charitable of people need to get something back... I think you just had a dry year and I hope this year people give back to you - if so little as a smile, a hug, a bit of encouragement in whatever way - to help to lift your spirit. You will get it back! :))
Yes. Happens all the time.

99% of the time - none.

My son would get them all the time - sm
get something to soak the foot in, fill it with water as warm as he can stand it and then mix in about 1 cup of Epsom salts, soak the foot until the water cools.

Will have to do it a few times over a few days but the skin starts to pull back.

tell him not to cut his toenails so short! :)
I look at it as the first time since she sm
was, what 14, that she will have to be in rahab. One problem, Michele Rodriguez from the show Lost went to that jail in 2006 to serve 60 days for a DUI and was let go after several hours due to overcrowding. I sure hope she doesn't get out becuase of something silly like that.
Just take it one day at a time.
I had a miscarriage back in 1993 and for years afterwards I would have a private memorial day on the day that I was due. Time really does help your heart heal, as have my living children.
TB and time
I don't agree because it can take years from the time of exposure.  This is such a bad form of TB that anyone in contact with him for quite a while back needs to be watched at least and be followed up.  That patient did not even realize he was infected and found out by accident from an x-ray.   TB is an interesting disease process and we all need to be careful especially since there are so many people here illegally.  I am not trying to start anything about that, but they have not even been medically screened if they came here illegally.  They are sitting around in all our ERs, the same ones we go to.  They sit next to us on public transportation and work in our restaurants.  I have recently worked for physicians who treat a lot of foreign patients and you would be surprised at how many diseases they enter this country with.  This is a very serious thing and I find what he did to be very wrong.  His father-in-law knew too and works at the CDC.  The reason he came back was the way he did was to get the best treatment available, which is here in the US, and I believe his father-in-law told him that.  If anyone has been exposed to TB they need to be checked by their physician and followed. 
No bra here, either, 90% of the time

If I didn't have these danged D-cups, it would be 100% of the time.


And I go Apache at home, which also means about 90% of the time since I started working at home. I don't think I could wear pants or shorts without underwear. Too much chafing of the delicate areas. But I wear housedresses in summer or in winter warm waffly nightgowns while I work so no need for underwear! 


i think its time to think about YOU
and of course the kids. If he loves them as you say, the distance won't stop him. My heart goes out to you. But do what is right for you this time.
How did I know when it was time?
When I started dreading the fact that he was home instead of worrying why he was't home. Being on my own was harder than I thought even though the relationship was long over. It's a mental thing of course. I felt very alone and vulnerable, but I did get over it. I still panic about the things you mention, although I have always been okay, yes even better. Having plenty of positive, understanding support would be most helpful. Hope you make the right decision.
AHA! Thanks! Most of the time I don't - sm
have a need for an online photo-sharing account, since I usually just email to friends, or print out for my mom, who has no PC. But I printed out your info. for the time when I get around to starting an account with flicker or photobucket.

THANKS for the info!
time
I used to love mornings now be a night person. I am up early but when it comes to feeling like typing rather do it at night.
First time!
Hey, it's my first time here.............
Well, any time you go anywhere ....
without your spouse you are in a compromising position then. Anything can happen, anytime, anywhere, people around or not. Geesh girls, lighten up on the morality aspect of it. Are your husbands even allowed to TALK to other women? Little girls worry about such things, women do not.
Well, let's see, what do I do with my time? (sm)
My husband is always gone travelling, I work full time, take almost 100% care of the kids, am a Girl Scout leader, Sunday School teacher, volunteer at the school, and help take are of my aging father. I NEVER have time to watch TV and I spend maybe 15 minutes a day on here posting a day. (pretyt much my only outlet) and I do keep my house relatively clean, cook, laundry, etc. If I want to have someone help me with my house so that I have a little more time, that's my business.
Of course, all the time

I question my DH's decisions all the time, especially when it comes to situations like you described.  You have a right to your opinion and a right to state it, without being yelled at and without his anger.  Men can be so defensive when questioned on a decision they have made, but hey, they just need to get over it.  And I think you did the right thing by doing your questioning out of the presence of the children, as it's not good for them to see Mom second guessing Dad or vice versa, cause they will play on that eventually. 


Good luck, I know it's hard living with a hard-headed man, trust me I know!


I think it is probably time but
When I had to go through this it helped me tremendously to have the vet come to my home to do it. If your vet won't look in the yellow pages for one who will. This is less stress on your baby as well as yourself, light candles play soft music and hold her in your arms and tell her you love her and will see her again and that is okay for her to go now, they hear you aand don't want to leave you so telling them it is okay will help their spirit fly. All my sympathy and tears for you right now.
This was the first time I saw all the way thru
and I thought it was tops! Before I thought maybe like other award shows, but this was pure entertainment. Glad I watched and will do again next year hopefully.
how did you have time to run around
wow
AND she had time for her
this woman is AMAZING!!!!
Take the time.
It's crazy to have something available and then not use it because you "don't have the time". It's not that hard to do so take about 5-10 minutes, fire up the program and walk through it. You may even be surprised by what you already DO know.
