I agree with you. Too many people..
want all the goodies now and when they are in too deep think they can just file bankruptcy and presto, all is right with their world again. I can fully understand filing because of a medical hardship, but too many people live well above their means, charge everything, never save or plan for tomorrow and then want you and I to pick up the slack because they are irresponsible with their finances. And yes, been there, done that, many, many years ago and learned my lesson, so don't bother telling me not to judge others.
yes, I agree, how do those people who have
a stone where the heart should be, dare to talk to people who are in misery caused by the FORMER ADMINISTRATION to talk like that?

That's not what the Bible says!
Completely agree! People should be

I agree but also the people had to be a little bit smarter and say...
I don't make near that, I can't afford that in the long run...they are also to blame...
Agree. IMO, the people who took the door sm
off the hinges should be charged with involuntary manslaughter. Hope the security cameras got a good shot of those SOBs. I read that other workers tried to help the poor trampled man and they also got hurt.

Think of how much business these stores would get if they offered such bargains for a longer period.

Greed is an evil thing.

I totally agree. All but one of the dozen or so people (sm)
that I know who had tubals later on developed horrible menstrual problems. Many ended up with a hysterectomy 10-15 years down the road.

I'm not sure the doctors recognize or admit a connection, and I admit my info is anecdotal, but it was enough for me to decide I didn't want to risk it.
i agree, if people didn't have sex outside of marriage, then
unless i'm wrong, but i don't think too many married woman are aborting babies who are fathered by their husbands. i think the overwhelming majority are babies that are the product of people married to each other
Have to agree. Most people know cost of that school and it is

I agree. It is in some people's nature to use those words.
My supervisors at work call me sweetie because they are southern and that is how they speak. Does the teacher treat everyone like that and it is just not part of your speaking style, or is there something else that seems inappropriate about it?
IMO depends on age of people. If youngish, agree with big deal.
sss
I agree! I could puke to hear people defend that name.

Totally agree! Lots of people under 21 drink anyway
so what is the point???? If they were to set a legal age, I think it should be 18.
I agree. People put problems or situations on this board to get - sm
advice from others on this board.  There are many different types of advice given and that is generally what the poster is looking for.  Those of us who have given our lives to the Lord, have found that it turned our lives around and given us great joy, as well as helped us through many times of hurt and fear.  We like to share this with others, especially when they are seeking advice on how to get through their own fear.  As Jan said, if you do not want to read this than don't.  I did notice however that you did not offer any advice for the poster to help with her fears and anxieties.  You just used it as an opportunity to slam those of us who are trying to help. 
I sort of agree; in the past years people miscarried
all the time only didn't even know it because they didn't have the ability to find out they were pregnant after 2 weeks! It is sad but definitely does not compare to losing a living child from disease etc. JMO.
I agree. I could never understand why people bragged about the size of their refund.
It just means they let the government accrue interest on their money throughout the year. I aim for less than $100 difference between what I owe and what I pay in every year. Yes, my refund is smaller, but I would rather put that money into savings or my retirement fund on a monthly basis than let Uncle Sam "hold it for me" all year long.
you can give the people the facts, but the decision making process should be left to the people

This is what our country is founded on FREEDOM OF CHOICE!   I'm laughing already; you are just as mortal as the rest of us, and don' even attempt to that you've never done anything in your lifetime that was unsafe or unhealthy. NOT gonna buy it.


it is wonderful to see how many people have such strong opinions about people in debt.

I thought that the purpose of this board was to be able to post without being judged unfairly or have somebody tell you how wonderful their personal life is, and therefore you are causing their life to be less wonderful with your irresponsibility. Well, the saying "walk a mile in my shoes" is a good one in this case.  Since you have no personal information about the person you are lambasting because they are looking for information on their debt, you can feel superior.  Had you had personal information about them, you might act in a more human manner. Consider fighting cancer for 4 years, working and being debilitated while you do, suffering the effects of chemo, going into debt to maintain your home for your children and looking for a way out of debt SHOULD YOU EVEN LIVE THROUGH THIS!!  Thank you for the kind comments.  To the judgmental people I say please take a step back before you judge.  You do not know who you are talking to and if you knew the personal information maybe your comments would be kinder.


I get frustrated by the double standard they use when judging people. They let certain people go sa
What do you think about the voting process?
What an awesome post! I agree, agree, agree completely with you.
You are right on the money in my book! 
People who go around calling other people "low class"
have their own issues in life. Ignore them. Nothing like a misplaced superiority complex to make a person feel good about themselves. Like they've never done anything gauche or made a faux pas. It must be nice for them to be so perfect and live in a glass house.

For that matter, you probably saved your piggy's life by popping that mondo zit! It could have gotten infected or something.... (yes, I have a zit popping fixation myself, but you were really descriptive on that pig zit. gag LOL)

Man, you would have appreciated the time one of my relative's popped a HUGE cyst on her face. I was standing right next to her at the time and leaned back because I knew it was going to blow. It did! Big time! All over the wall, mirror and light fixture. I'm still disgusted by the thought of it 10 years later. LOL In a revering kind of way...
some people did, some people didn't. It's their choice.

If this helps...I know people who know people (sm)

who can make people disappear.      


Not really--I'd be lyin' if I said I never thought such things though!  ;-)


IME, people don't feel sorry for fat people either
They actually have less sympathy than they do for people who have substance abuse, IME.

At any rate, I do feel sorry for Britney but the safety of her children should be everyone's first priority, then her safety. It would seem to me that all these hangers-on she has are jeopardizing that safety. It's all just very sad.
I agree, try to live in another country, then you will also agree...nm

absolutement! Agree! Agree! Agree!
Why is it so hard to understand this?  HMOs are just middlemen who get everything balled up and costly!
I agree with you - not judging either but agree (nm)
:)
Some people just look at me
like I am crazy. You should see the looks I get when she rides on my shoulder in the car. Most people associate rats with dirty animals, etc. They are just like a hamster, only very smart animals. Plus they don't bite like hamsters or try and get away from you. They want to be around you. They are very loyal and love attention. She's my baby.

Unfortunately, she has a cyst growing under her arm now though. She is getting old, and I know her time is coming. :(
OMG! You people are bad, bad, bad!!! I'm going to
!
For me, over 25 people to buy for......
including mine and my husband's immediate families we see separately Christmas eve and Christmas day. We also visit grandparents, aunts, cousins, etc. a week later. We don't have kids yet so still spend a few hundred on each other. It is probably closer to 1500 combined for us.
What about NJ? People here act like
they're the best beaches in the world and I can assure you they are NOT. LBI is the cute nickname now given to Long Beach Island which is a dump as are most NJ beaches and everyone acts like it's the Hamptons or something. Been to NC outer banks and loved it. No comparison.
I think there need to be more people...
in the world like you! You are doing a wonderful thing and are a shining example to your children!
Pet (Dog in particular) people -

I have a Lab/Pit mix, probably 8 or 9 years old, who has a terrible problem with itching and scratching all over.  I am hoping someone on this site has a solution for us. 


I will tell you what we have tried that has not worked. 


Benadryl has not worked. Seemed to help initially but stopped it and she shows no change.


Changing her food has not worked.  Have tried all kinds of food, wheat free, have not helped. 


Adding oil to her food, 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil twice a day, has not helped.  Seemed to help initially but she went back to scratching.


Getting her groomed with dry skin shampoo/conditioner has not helped.


What DID help was steroid injection and prednisone pills on a tapering dose.  But once the dose was tapered down, she started scratching some.  I dont want her on steroids indefinitely.  PLUS, the steroids made her very very aggressive and being part pitbull, that was not a good thing. 


When it gets to the point that she and I are both waking up multiple times during the night, I have to go back to steroids.  Before I do that, I wonder if anyone reading this has another remedy we could try before going to steroid route.


We also have a cat and I am beginning to think she may be allergic to the cat.  Do you think this is possible?  My vet technician told me it is possible but it would involve costly allergy testing and injections if it proves positive.  Would like opinions from others before I take her for allergy testing. 


Any info anyone could provide would sure be appreciated, not only by me but by my best friend who is suffering with this.


Thank you!


um, a lot of people don't go to the, uh, gym.

I know 5 people who have had this...sm
1 has kept the weight they lost off.

2 had major complications after the surgery and 1 almost died - he was healthy before surgery.

4 lost weight but have regained most if not all of it. You can restretch the stomach back out by eating too much.
I like those too - I know a lot of people don't :-)

Yes, but LL should have people to look out for her
be watched 24/7, but LL could be and should be. She should be protected and anyone with any interest in this girl, either for financial or other, such as her mother, should be helping her better than this.

IMO there is no excuse for this. Maybe I am being harsh, but give me a break already with these celebs.
Just like with people
Recovering from surgery (procedures done with anesthesia) when they're older is harder for them, and you have to be super careful that they don't have any conditions that could be worsened by the medications. Please try everything you can before getting them declawed. I'm lucky, my cats love their scratch posts, but they also love picking at the carpet. I just buy rugs and stick them all over the place!
Those people should have given you (sm)
thank you notes BUT, when you give you have to give with a free and willing heart and not expect anything in return - even a thank you - because you will only get bitter waiting. Only give when you really want to and feel the need to and you will feel better about it I think.
re: people
Just me,

The Bible says in Jeremiah 17:9:
"The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; Who can know it?"

It is our sin nature to commit sin and we're all born with it. I don't know what the percentage of sexual sin is, but I do know that it is getting more and more prevalent and has been around since bible days because we are all born sinners and we all need Jesus to save us. That doesn't mean that after we accept Jesus we stop sinning, but are more likely to be faithful when we know the Lord.

God bless!

Jan
Pod people.
It's the only explanation.  How can you not talk to people in an environment like that?! 
This really is about the right age when most people do this (sm)
I was 18 and that was 20 years ago. You cannot make her not do it. I would strongly focus right now on teaching her all the possible STDs - I mean seriously teaching her - because I got herpes from oral sex when I was 21 and did not even know you could get it that way. Just sit down with her and say, "well you have decided to do this and I don't agree with it, BUT since you are, let's look up every possible bad thing that can happen" and make sure she is extremely well informed. Even find scary pictures of HPV and look up hep B and hep C and herpes and every STD you can think of. At least then she probably will not be promiscuous and will be choosy and careful about who she is with.
and once again, people come in here and can....n/m
   
Why do people have to
make reference to a person other than "did that nice woman smile at you?"??? If she had been obese instead, would they have said..."Did that fat lady smile at you?" Just annoys me how insensitive people can be and how they can be quick to label a person without even knowing anything about them.

I would have been offended myself in this situation. HOW RUDE!
i know this will ^&*()$% people off
I personally would never have an abortion, but think of all the people who were aborted instead of being born. Maybe there is another reason that they were aborted and that society is better off as a whole because of it.
Yep. People just don't think - nm

I know some people that took their son's
room away. He was about 13 and they had only been living in their new house a few months. His bedroom was in the basement with the rest of the family on the second floor. He loved his room soooo much. This was not really a bad kid, just wouldn't do homework, chores, picked on his sister, really just immature. They made him move into his little brother's room. His LB was 4 so he obviously loved having big bro for a roommate. Straightened him out rather quickly.
IMO, most people won't say anything
so i would suggest you definitely keep your eyes and ears open. chances are, being it was brought to your attention, there may be something to it.

Depending upon the gravity of it all, you may want to do some snooping, and/or check financial records and such. Whatever you do, 'protect yourself at all times',ie, cover your bases. Trust is so important with a spouse, but not a blind trust.

Depending upon other factors, you may or may not confront your spouse, but likely not. There, you lose the element of surprise, and if something is up, the coverup will be more elaborate and harder to penetrate.
two people
if at all possible, but I don't have any help and rarely do I need to bathe them, only time has been when they had a brief flea outbreak. But if you have no help, just hold by the ruff of the back of the neck and since mine are adults, I let there back feet touch the ground so as not to hold them there by their full weight and do the best I can with washing them with one hand. I do it in the bathtub with a sprayer I have attached to my shower head.
For people our age I think
hair should not as long as Meredith's, just turned to see her because I really do not want her show that often. No matter how nice the color, the shine, etc. I think keeping any longer only ages a person. I try to keep mine ear length, any longer only bothers me.
I think too many people....

automatically think spanking is abuse because they have become brainwashed by society, government, etc.  Adults CAN draw the line and I don't think there are too many that "beat" their kids.  I was also spanked as a child, never beat, and raised my kids spanking them ONLY if needed.  I NEVER smacked them across the face as that is humuliating to the child and my point was never to humuliate my kids but to instill what is accepted and not accepted.


My sister-in-law raised her kids on timeout and the never ending "talks".  Five minutes later they were doing the exact same thing they were timed out for.  Her kids are now teenagers.  They are smart mouthed, have no respect for people, she is unable to control them which in turn she lets them do what they want, bribes them to "behave", etc.  They come from a loving, good home but I see nothing but trouble in the future for them as they have no boundries of what and what is not accepted.


My kids were raised getting a spank or two on the behind with a firm no (never a beating or screaming at them).  They have turned into respectful, caring, responsible adults with no side affects from the spanking.  I ask them to do something and they do it without back talk.  They call their elders Mr or Mrs.  They turned out to be well adjusted, happy kids with many friends as it was instilled into them to respect people as they would like to be respected. 


Unfortunately, society and the government, etc., has gotten involved with raising OUR kids.  They need to step back and worry about their own kids.  I for one do not worry when my kids are out at night, they are not driving and drinking, they are not stealing, not doing drugs, etc.  They are not perfect and can be a pain in the a** at times, but I know I raised them right and I raised them as I see fit - not how society would want me to raise them. 


I do not spank them anymore as there is no need to.  That stopped at 8 or 9 years old - they knew what was right and wrong by that time.  If they do something I do not like, I now talk with them.  There are times that does not work and then I take away privileges such as driving, etc.


Too many people confuse beating and spanking - spanking is not beating!!


 


 


 


 


 


People have to eat, so it
is easy to get addicted to food. Smoking, on the other hand, is a ridiculous act of a person who wanted to rebel when they were young and got caught by addiction.
