    Probably the statement I made saying I'm wondering if this is all there is to life would be sounding like I'm depressed, but honestly I'm not. I've been married for 25 years and I'm a very optimistic person. So much my sister-in-law once told me - "can't you ever be upset about something without trying to find the good in it" LOL, and I do laugh a lot during the day. That's not to say I don't have an occasional "down" time, but in today's world who doesn't. I'm just tired of being "dumbed down" by the news and now especially with all the election coverage. Just getting tired of our news media whores not giving us the truth. That's why I feel like I'm living in a Matrix and this all is not real. I think I will follow the advise of one of the posters and turn off the news for a couple weeks and instead turn on the Food Channel and pet my cat. :-)

    When my children were teenagers they did not drive at all.  Even tho I worked full time, I took then where they needed to go & picked up to return home.  Explained to them that if I could not take then, they did not need to go.  This included the prom....No discussion, no argument.  They understood that I am their parent, not a friend & besides, I was not going to pay insurance for teenagers.  My youngest twins graduated in 1986 and after their freshman year in college (no car) I had them take defensive driving.  They purchased their own vehicles.  The year they graduated high school, several schools in the surrounding communities lost, if I remember, around 10-12 teenagers in car accidents......The twins I am referring to are now 36 years old.


    Thanks for your reply.........sm
    I understand what you are saying and I was not physically forced, no. But I failed to mention that while I was telling her I was really not comfortable with what she was going to do she sort of got angry and said, "just let me do what I do"! At that point I thought, well I must be completely wrong, after all she is supposed to be the expert, no? I am not yet gray and my natural hair is dishwater drab blonde which is why I do only highlights and not color as I mentioned. And this has never been damaging to my hair. But when I do go gray, I may keep it natural as well ;)
    Thanks for reply
    Please keep me updated on how things are going for you.

    OK--number one, since no one knows me, you don't know that I am interfering, or will ever interfere, just came here to "vent," since this board is anonymous.  Have been nothing but supportive of my daughter and kept my feelings about the ex to myself--never say anything critical to my granddaughter.  Number two, Emily DID get an Easter basket from her mother--just not a huge one crammed with candy, toys, and unnecessary cr**.  My former son-in-law needs to pay his back child support before he buys this type of thing.  Number three, my GD's father is the one who has always spoiled her, and my daughter has HAD to be the disciplinarian and "heavy."  Finally, for those who said to be more conscientious with dental care, my daughter, who is self-employed, had to beg him to carry dental insurance with his company after Emily was born--he said it was "unnecessary," since he has false teeth and would never benefit from it personally.  This is the kind of father he was/is. 


    Thank you to all who offered kind advice and sympathy.


     


     


    Thank you for your reply!! sm
    I am with you - I guess not many people here scrapbook. It is my passion - and the only thing I splurge on.

    I have not tried any of the programs because I usually like to do my own thing, but I have seen some that looked kind of interesting at Target and Wal-Mart. I can't remember the brand. I have been tempted to try one just to see what they had to offer and maybe some more ideas. Thanks for the website - I'm going to check it out.
    To which I have to reply...

    Thanks for your reply. I could not
    agree more. The problem here was not, and I emphasize was not socialization. I know this dog, I know the history and I know the people. Any Rescue group thoroughly checks UT homes before placement. These people in her former placements simply did not know what to do for her after giving all the love they had. It took a long time, and it has been recommended when a dog has this amount of fear to actually lie down on the floor face down so the dog does not fell threatened, let it slowly come closer to you. My friend cried herself to sleep and many days over frustration. She is the one who did not give up.Unfortunately, as you pointed out, money is the bottom line mass breed these poor animals and have them packed in filthy cages with wire bottoms for profit. It sickens me.

    What you need to do is take the ink cartridge out of the printer and very carefully shake it gently so the ink is spread evenly. The reason it is not printing uniformly means it is getting low on ink.
    thanks for your reply (please see msg)
    I hope you don't mind, but I just pasted your answer and sent it to my husband - he is staying the last two nights of the campout and will get my email that is printed out by the staff at the camp facility. I also know that the leaders read the emails before distributing them and I thought your answer was awesome! I want my son to enjoy scouting, not be miserable. If he is going to be miserable, I would rather he not do it at all. I am a Brownie leader for my daughter and have a full-time job so I don't feel I can dedicate a lot of time to Boy Scouts as well but I think I am going to tell my husband and the other leaders that if things do not change, and my husband insists on making my son go to the campouts, I will be going as well.
    Thanks for your reply--
    -- if you can't understand why I'd be offended by his comment, then I cannot explain that to you.  You may be right, he probably knows he would not be my first choice for my daughter and no one is really--she and my granddaughter been hurt enough--I want to tell him (and may yet) that I would die for those girls and I hope he would as well.  But he makes them happy, I can accept it.

    he did clearly say 'met,' he was very easy to understand.  maybe his tongue slipped and he meant to say meal or something else.

    I understand that it is a poor state.  It also has no state income tax.  I've done as much research as possible for discovery, but I certainly appreciate any and all input.  I'm told it's very beautiful.  He wanted to go where he could do cross-country skiing, etc.


    While all divorces are different, if I mentioned his last name it would stand out big-time.  He comes from money, but has never been materialistic (but I was fortunate to have the same situation)..  I know he's a saver big-time, so that's my aim.  His mother bought a house for him for $130K, which he admitted.  It's not revenge, either. I wish him the best.  Like Donald Trump says, "It's nothing personal, it's just business."  Oh, survival, too!


    The irony is that both our families are just about identical. My brother is paying for my $300 per hour lawyer.  Full disclosure here... 


    Thanks for taking time to provide your 2 cents, when you could have been making huge bucks from the Q!

    We have tried the kindness thing as well this did not work.  The situation at school, at least with my child, was a threat on a child's life and not being sent home right away as well as some other threats about having to eat bread and water due to low $$ in account.  It is has to stop.  Our children should not have to go to school in fear.  They also should not have to worry about eating!!  The last one is a real biiggie as several mothers  have reported this.  THanks all 
    Excellent reply!
    Happy Hanukkah by the way!

    Does it start today or tomorrow? I have two calendars that conflict each other.
    thanks for reply, but no, not using headphones now.
    in fact, i did test the speakers on my 'job' computer and they do work. but i cannot hear sound on a video my daughter sent on my personal machine...so am not sure if i have some settings messed up or if my sound card is gone...or if possibly it is just that video. but i thought i remembered before hearing sounds when you go in and out of e/mail and web pages etc...?? don't want to test for this other job and then find out i have no sound...
    Thank you so much for you reply. That sounds

    Thank you for the reply and the tips.
    Been thinking of going the natural route myself. There sure do not seem to be any good diagnosticians around today like there were years ago. Nowadays, most put the symptoms into the computer and see what comes up. Well, I can do that too!

    I've been reading up on the many diseases and syndromes that affect multiple body systems that often go undiagnosed or are treated separately for years, probably partly because everybody is a *specialist* these days.

    But the last two I saw actually called each other, so HEY maybe they're finally onto something! lol

    Gotta have a sense of humor or it'll make you insane.

    Sorry to hear of your problems. And I'm glad you are doing better!
    Thanks for the reply..I actually put a "V" on my calander for her. sm
    She was actually mortified that I was "signaling" to everyone what was coming, but no one else has noticed it but us. Anyway, I figured with three girls, plus me I needed to start doing that to keep track of everybody later on when they have all started. My husband thinks we should by some stock in Tampax! LOL. Thanks again for your reply.
    Standard reply, it seems, but...
    I would take her to the vet.  When my cat stopped using the litter box, it was because she had cystitis and associated the pain from the infection with the litter box.  It might just be because your cat has been outside, but better safe than sorry.
    I don't usually reply to things like this, but I have to
    with you that even with you he'd do the same?  He's not a nice man or he would have told you from the start he was married.  He sounds like scam artist, and if I were you, I'd get away from this weirdo.....    
    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?


    I wasn't going to reply to this but
    the more I thought about it the more it infuriates me. What child deserves to be hit? Should I hit someone just because they aren't behaving? What about when I'm out shopping and I encounter a rude person who is cutting in line/grabbing at things, etc, should I hit them? How about if someone cuts me off driving should I run them over and "switch" them? We are the adults here and children DO NOT deserve to be hit for any reason. There is always another way to deal with their behavoir. But then again, I guess as long as you don't leave welts its fine right....despicable
    You are so right. Often afraid to reply
    becuase don't want to offend anyone. I really didn't think you were being mean, just want to make sure. BTW, my kids and my furkids are genuises! LOL!

    I can see where you are coming from but there is a simple answer - change the channel. There is plenty out there for everyone. I get sick of the ugliness myself but it pays the bills for the stations and it amuses small minds. You have to have a bigger set of values and flip the channel, change the station, put on some nice music, read something positive, take a walk, etc. There is an old song with the lyrics, "You gotta accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative and don't mess with Mister In-between." It's all out there, you don't have to pay attention to it or you will be just like "them."

    Thanks for yoiur reply...sm
    I have often seen your posts signed as bassetmomma and have always wanted to ask you about your bassets! We are so happy with her..she is by far one of the best dogs we have ever had. She seems to be traumatized by quite a bit from storms to just being anxious if we are not right in the room with her. The vet seems to think it is just because of her being left behing as a baby. She was 13 in a litter of 13 and was the runt out of the group. All of her brothers and sisters sold right away but she didnt. As a result she just sort of gave up and was just dying. When we went to see her she hadnt eaten in a couple of days. She crawled up in my 13 y/o daughters lap and ate a small amount of food. We knew we had to bring her home and make her well again. She has certainly wrapped herself around our hearts.

    Thanks again for your post.

    perhaps I was a little hyped in my reply,

    but it only comes from the fact that I'm there -- I know all about these things because I'm doing them.  I don't resent doing these things for my children.  The OP hit a real nerve with me because my parents are always on me about how we raise our kids.  We're just never good enough in their eyes, but they forget what they were like as parents.  My mom worked nights.  She wasn't there for me a lot of times when I felt I needed her.  She got home late from work (1 or 2 in the morning) and got up to get us kids off to school and then went back to sleep for a few hours in the morning.  All the while, my 4-year-old brother was home with her watching TV.  He knew to wake her up after a certain show was over, so she could get him lunch.  My mom was never a heavy sleeper, so I'm sure if he'd have gotten into something she would have known, but still.  My dad coached my brother's sports, but he also berated him at home for not being good enough.  My mom yelled at me one day because I brought McD's for the kids when I knew I wouldn't have time to make supper because of an appointment out of town.  It was 4:45, and she thought it was awful that I didn't have supper on the table by 4:00 and that I was giving them McD's.  My mom worked at McD's when I was growing up.  Many of nights, she gave us a frozen pizza for supper before heading to work and then brought us home leftover chicken nuggets and apple pies.  We lived for that stuff, but here she was berating me for giving it to my kids.  What she was really upset about was that my kids were hungry and they were asking her for something to eat, which she didn't feel like making.  She was watching them for me after school that day until I got home from my appointment.  But that's the price I pay for asking her to babysit. 


    No one's perfect, but we try.  Criticizing others won't help the situation.  I just felt like the OP's criticisms weren't hurtful and not helpful.  My suggestions in my original post were meant to give the OP some insight into what the other shoe feels like. 


    I meant to reply to OP. nm

    I own a charter boat in PV and I spend as much time as I can down there.  In 20 years I have never had any problems, just following my common sense.
    All I can say in reply to your post is
    You can barely find anything to watch on TV with your kids anymore. Even if the program itself is 'only' filled with farts and other childishly scatalogical material, you cringe in fear when the commercials come on because there's NO telling what they're going to be about.

    Anyone who thinks this growing obsession with sex in society represents "progress" needs to have his head examined.

    What's particularly funny is that we deplore the rampant, unbridled surrender to other natural appetites like the desire for food, and treat obese people like social pariahs.

    What would we think of a crowd of people who sat in a dark theater, sweating as the curtain slowly rises to the sultry beating of drums while a pink spotlight plays around the stage, the drums reaching a pounding crescendo, the mob screaming and fainting as the light finally illuminates a plate of potato salad?

    Bichon Frise reply
    I have never heard that..I have had a Bichon Frise/poodle mix for 11 years now (got mine at a very young age)...no problems whatsoever with the house breaking...plus they are very intelligent. You will not regret getting one.
    You failed to read my reply
    WE all had a hand in ME getting pregnant....What's all the attitude for?
    lol - read your reply after posting exactly the same
    Court-ordered child support to feed, clothe, and house the child is expected...in addition to paying for medical expenses. I'm glad my GD's parents don't send gifts for any of the holidays so I am not left to feel resentment at their not paying child support. Taking proper care of a child is much more important than being a superficial person (as in you ex-SIL's example).
    Your reply was correct up to a point
    A lot of grandmothers have the finances to pay for a wedding. This should not be the bottom line at all. You got the first part right, the bridge and groom make up the list and no one else, just keep it at that.
    men with breast cancer reply
    Honestly I don't know, I just follow for the women, since my diagnosis last year. I'm sure there's something out there though. If not maybe you can start something up for the men... Best of luck.
    You reply was the reason I am cashing
    the check because I have seen where an innocent deposits a check, check no good and then fees are hooked onto your account. I have heard of that happening.

    So many aspects to the issue - my reply
    Some other view points... Please note, my capitalizing the word SOME below is not intended to be yelling or sarcasm - I would have bolded it and kept it lowercase if I could. My purpose is only to stress that we all feel and think about the issues different, from our own perspectives, and some of us think thisaway...


    1. ALL of the candidates are bad mouthing each other. Yes, Hillary is doing bad mouthing too. So is her husband.

    2. SOME people do not count being First Lady as "governmental experience." Some people actually PREFER Barack Obama's (a beautiful name, to some) relative inexperience because they have confidence he is a very smart man who will surround himself with others in his cabinet to make up for any area he might be lacking in.

    3. Being open-minded might not including saying things like "let's not be stupid about things" which could imply people might be considered (I am trying to post this but it will not let me include the word that was just included in post I am replying to that started with stu and ends in id) if they don't do as you are encouraging them to do... or implying if we were older or using our heads instead of our hearts, we wouldn't support Barack Obama... Maybe some of us STILL support Obama and we are of all ages..of all colors... of all religious affiliations (even Jewish, or even no religion), and we are fully capable, fully informed to do so with a balance of both our hearts AND our heads...

    4. SOME people might consider the trail of corruption surrounding the Clintons (and that means Hillary) as a deterrent. Some people think Barack Obama is surrounded by less corruption... I said LESS, not none.

    5. SOME people consider Hillary to be the "good old boy" candidate - i.e., the Status Quo candidate, and that is why they don't support her. They want change. She does not offer this from what many in this country can see.

    6. SOme people feel that Bill - her husband - is a liability and does not add to her supposed years of experience.

    7. SOME people might consider Hillary to have shown incredibly poor judgment by making the highly public choice to stay with a philanderer, a liar, and a man who has been accused not just of marital infidelities but of even worse and darker actions towards women (try a Google on Bill if you forget...). SOME people believe those past choices show how power hungry she is... and SOME people feel she might show the same kind of poor judgment in being the head of this country.

    8. There is NO squeaky clean candidate out there.



    Peace.

    I did want to say something like this, but did not get around to doing so. So glad you did. It was the only negative reply to my inquiry. All other replies were positive, supportive, and helpful and I do indeed appreciate those messages.
    Sorry I had hit reply to the one down below about inspirational stories
    His name is Nick Vujicic if you search you tube for his name or for "Life Without Limbs" you can find all kinds of videos on him. There is one that shows how he gets around during the day, it's amazing!
