I like Navy. I have had nice comments when I wear it. nm

Your comments are appreciated.
I second those comments!
It is like parents with the loudest, rudest kids think the entire world should put up with them. The parents seem tuned out. How nice for them! The rest of us have to be subjected to their screaming, whining, running around tables, kicking the back of the booth, and even pulling of our hair. If you dare say anything the parents look at you as if you are the devil himself. Bring on the animals any day of the week!
Thanks everyone for your comments (sm)
I am taking your suggestions to heart...he has a way of making me feel like everything is always my fault..I am going to call an abuse hotline as well as AA and just talk to them and see what they think. Thanks again so much.
In appropriate comments from
Taking a poll here...how many say something to their MIL if inappropriate comments are made and how many just let it role off their back no matter how hurtful the comments are? and I don't mean the first time a comment is made, I'm talking about repeated, obvious, and sometimes in front of other people putting you on the spot. and I'm talking about a MIL that lives close and cannot be avoided.
Thank you everyone for your comments sm
It helps a lot to be reminded that I am doing the right thing. I think my tendency is to just want to fix everything but this time I can't.
Looking for inappropriate comments? I don't think so! (sm)
Okay......and thanks for your input. I am the OP and I just want for you to know that I think that your comment was a little on the ignorant side. "I am not soooo appalled." I was a little shocked that he cared so much to go out of his way to make sure I found the right size bra. (He walked away from his job to come over to the checkout counter that I was at and felt the need to ask that, even though I was being checked out by a female clerk that was fully capable of making sure that I found what I needed?) Even the female clerk looked at him and said "What are you talking about?" I told her about the bra I returned to his service desk an hour earlier and she said "He is weird. That is none of his business!"
For the record, I receive male attention frequently and I am not easily offended or overly prudish when comments are made to me. This on the other hand was a bit strange.
My intentions were to ask others if they would consider this question to be inappropriate or not if they had been asked the same question under the same circumstances. I am not playing 'poor victim' here as I consider this a minor incident (yet still inappropriate).
In my opinion, it sounds to me like you don't get many comments offered to you and perhaps you would welcome them if you did? (That's what I get from your comment anyways!)
Exactly, Hayseed. Just look at the comments
on here. I feel sorry for her. People go through things like this all the time in life and do some of the things she has done, but they don't have to read about it in the paper the next morning. I think she needs some help and her family really needs to step in. I read an article that the guy she was seeing last said she would curl into a ball after they had s** and would say, why can't they just leave me alone. It's really sad. I don't think she is a bad person, but that she needs help. She's obviously crying out for help and is going through a lot right now. Everyone on here that has been divorced, just imagine everything about your divorce being front page...it's already painful enough without all that. People are cut throat.
You got me!! Even with the comments below, I didnt get it.

smart comments
Me, too. Makes me want to jump in and blast them back! No reason for it.
HA HA HA - loved your comments
Perfect...lmao here....I'm going to cut you off, I hope you believe that. HA HA HA....too funny. I can tell you've got a great sense of humor and also a wonderful outlook on life.
Think I was too harsh in my comments to you sm
I apologize, I am very raw right now from undeserved treatment by DIL so when I saw your posting title, it bothered me. I love my grandkids so much that I would welcome a list of "rules" if one were presented to me. It's too bad she uses the Bible, I have had this done to me more than once by those who misunderstand the good book and use it as a weapon. I certainly would have a heart-to-heart with her, don't lose your temper, and let it be known that interpretation of the Bible is a very private affair and she should never mention demons, bring a Bible to your home, etc., etc. Give her the option of playing by your rules and an option of her only playing children's games, watching a movie, etc., and keeping her opinions to herself. Give her supervised visiting priviliges and then you're off the hook if she doesn't accept. If she persists, then she truly is in need of psychological help which is not up to you to provide. Give her the choice and if she chooses to keep it up, then you'll have no recourse, little kids don't need this. At least you tried, it's her choice to not adhere to your rules, unfortunately, she's missing out on a lot, I wish she could see how lucky she is to be "talked to" and given options. Good luck with it. Hate the sin and not the sinner. I once had to lay down the law with my sister and the Bible. I have made it clear that I won't tolerate Bible talk, she can come any time but the conversation has to be light, not inappropriate, not religious and no politics. It has worked pretty well, once in awhile she has a slip and has to be reminded but we are talking - no religion, no end-of-the world,no Jesus talk, it takes reinforcing every once in awhile. Good luck with it all, it's stressful.
Not sure how to take your comments at this point but (sm)
I don't think I am amazing in any way. I think I had no other choice than to leave and I will probably live the rest of my life on a wing and a prayer.
I didn't see your comments before sm
but it is a subject that has been driving me nuts for several years. I am trying to figure out what happened to decency!
i have already addressed this. they blow those comments off
this was a TEACHER.
I guess I could have stated my comments
a little more detail. Both MIL and DIL like to cook. We always have a wonderful Christmas and Thanksgiving dinner. I guess I was just raised in a family that we had family traveling in to visit, we would do just a little extra. BTW, we actucally have a joint Pizza Hut and KFC restaurant. We call it the Cluck and Hut. That is why I suggested KFC. Doesn't matter now, I got butchered at the beauty shop last night and have been crying ever since. I am not leaving the house for at least 2 weeks.
Where are the nasty comments. just some very strong
opinions that happen to not agree with your opinion. I thought we were all just discussing. So what if someone doesn't agree with my opinion, that's fine. We are all entitled to our opinion and we just have to agree to disagree. Please don't take this so personally. I don't think any of it was aimed at you. 
He has made a lot of comments about my weight (sm)
so I have been to self-conscious to be with him. But if he is using my undies doesn't that mean he wants me? Or not? I'm confused.
Any comments from DWTS fans?
I missed a bit of yesterday's Dancing with the Stars finale show, but looks like Helio and Julianne overall had the strongest performance.
What happened to Mel and Maks' freestyle? They were like kinda deflated or something.
IMO, Marie and Jonathan usually come up with pleasant surprises, but last night's freestyle was a real puzzler - I am not sure why Jonathan would agree to choreograph such a cutesy (yawn) routine when the competition is so fast and fierce. Marie was a bit too vocal with the judges...after all, they are the "experts."
I can't even deal with these comments. Thx for your concern.

I'm giving up negative comments
I'm going to let only positive comments pass my lips, otherwise I will stay quiet. Believe me, the Lord knows what a sacrifice this will be for me.
Her web site asks for comments so
I left her some, none probably she would have liked, but what I and others just like me are thinking. I said, no job, no income, 6 other kids, no real housing of your own, food stamps, why bring 8 more into this world. What were you thinking?
I'm originally from NJ, and I've endured a lot of comments.
If one more person asks me, "Which exit?" I might run him/her over!
And yes, when I was growing up, it was indeed the Garden State. I grew up running through tomato fields and along corn rows. It was wonderful!
question about rude comments regarding child with dyslexia. sm
my 11-yo DD was spending the night with her friend. she has dyslexia and has ever since diagnosed in 2nd grade. she struggles quite a bit in school. this year she didn't pass the 5th grade because she didn't pass her TAKS test in math (state required to be promoted). i picked her up today from the friend's house and she says so and so's dad told her she was "lazy" because she didn't pass the TAKS test. of course, his daughter is a straight A student without help and is an only child. i am furious at this!! am i wrong to feel furious and how to i address to him that he needs to be cautious as to how he words things and says things to little kids with disabilities? it is enough that they get ridicled and belittled by their fellow students, much less their parents!! i know this will only be the beginning of what she will have to endure as school starts back. i wanted to march right over there and give him a piece of my mind immediately, but thought i would calm down first and see what great ideas you bright ladies have to share so i don't regret blowing off my steam in the wrong way. HELP! never had a child held back before so i know it will be a challenge to get through this for her. 
I read all the comments and I agree with the poster who wrote
'One has to teach people how to treat you' and one has to tell people what is imoportant to oneself.
It is inexcusable not to call or meet one's mother for mother's day and Christmas, etc.....
What a nice response by a nice mom
What a gracious, well-adjusted response to a rude, obviously maladjusted poster--Hard to imagine someone with such an empty life and such a petty spirit that they would take the time to post criticism about a kid's feet! (Some people really have major issues, LOL!)
Anyone that has a GE washer top load that has any comments on GE versus Whirlpool top load. nm

Nice to know I'm not alone ...
my son is 20, and is finally taking his road test in 2 weeks, and even at his age I'm scared to death. Have been riding back & forth with him to college, lately I've been reading a book while he drives to be sure he isn't depending on me to watch out for things for him.
He has been learning on and off for years, one minute he wants his license, the next he couldn't care less. But I guess it's finally time now. And I do feel he is much more mature at 20 than he was at 16, but for most kids it's hard to get them to wait.
I'm not as nice as you, but
I recently tried to say something really nice to a person at church I admired, and who had just had surgery and was finally back at church. I said something about missing him and caring about him and he seemed offended. Everybody seems to love my husband, though he doesn't go very often, but they seem annoyed with me. Not sure what I did either.
I have a cat I got when she was 1...nice with certain
She is now 3-1/2 and she always hisses at my daughter and her fiance.....it's really not nice, and it's always ongoing, and I *think* she (the cat) may be jealous. I never had a jealous cat before. *lol*
I had a male cat for 13 years who died in 2004 and he did hiss but not at the daughter (but then she kind of grew up with him....)
hope it gets better with your little furkid...(cute!!)
It's so nice to know I'm not the only one
I have three children and have bottle fed all of them. With my first, I was so determined to breasfeed. I "breastfed" my daughter for 3 1/2 weeks. She always cried and I thought she was just colicky. Come to find out I was not producing enough milk and I either needed to supplement with formula or bottle feed all together. Well, I went home and cried my eyes out feeling like a terrible mother because after her first bottle she hardly ever cried again!!!!
It is so nice to know I am not the only one that had a problem like this. I have always felt so bad that I could not breastfeed. I do not think that other women should me made to feel that way. Breastfeeding is a wonderful thing, but it is not the only way to have healthy children. I was bottle fed and doing just fine and so are my three children.
I met her once - she was SO nice!

Very nice
But I'm in zone 7a! It might survive here, with southern exposure, but it would be iffy.
My hydrangea is just about to bloom, though - the blooms are somewhat similar. I thought I lost it over the cold, cold winter but it came back and has little florets all over getting ready to burst into bloom.
it's nice you appreciate her this way
there are so many nasty ones at that age that care only about their own image, no compassion for others. My daughter is like yours, too, and she cannot stand all the snotty immature ones - who raises kids like that.
nice!
have you ever heard of kicking a person when they are down? your posts are disgusting. maybe you did need your dad to give you some better manners. we are all thrilled that you have such a wonderful life. personally, wonder what you say to them when they are upset, scrape their knee, make a bad grade, wreck their first car, or are in a bad relationship one day. hope you respond better to them than you did this poster. shame on you.
Nice guy
I love random acts of ego boosters. :-)
nice guy
Just yesterday, my daughter and I (she drives with her permit) were taking my dog to the vet for a routine visit, and our dog was in the front seat belted in with his harness leash, with my daughter driving and me in the back seat. On the way home, we stopped for an iced cappuccino at a drive-through, and the young guy giving us our order kiddingly remarked to my daughter as to the fact that the dog is riding in front, and she "makes her friend" ride in the back seat. My daughter replied that it was her "mother", and he said, "Wow"! It made my day, but I take care of myself and have always looked younger than my age. I am a humble person, but I know I am attractive. I strive to always be in good health and in good shape.  That was a nice "pick-me-up."
Isn't it really nice to use?!
I've only tried the Bare Minerals and only use it when I go out, which isn't often, so it's lasted me a looooong time. I have skin that peels, breaks out, or gets a rash from just about anything I put on it--even baby moisturizers. This has been the only makeup I have been able to use without any of those side effects. It doesn't have any smell, any weight to it, and yet it magically covers and stays put. The only bad thing I've had happen is when I wore it and worked up a sweat this summer....it did make my face itch but nothing bad happened. I highly recommend it to anyone with uber-sensitive skin like mine and I'm glad you've enjoyed it too--no matter what the brand!
What a nice looking dog.
as an owner. We can love our dogs and have our peace at the same time.
Not nice, Kit because
I work 14 hours a day, have a husband, have four people who live in our home and find this a trial because our home is too small for what we have, especially since my mom died and left me all her stuff. I can't seem to get rid of enough stuff to make cleaning easy or something do-able in a reasonable period of time. On my day off it takes my daughter, husband and I eight hours to clean and I am still not satisfied. I have massive amounts of laundry that I do each day besides work and cook all our meals too. It would help if we could afford to remodel the house (it is old and has no storage areas and not enough electrical outlets), and I already have three sheds in the back yard that are full, so I am at a point where I either have to get a loan and remodel, move to a larger house with storage and more outlets and a couple more clothes closets would be nice. It would be wonderful if I could have a pantry again. I especially abhor my kitchen which is small, designed by a man who must have only warmed up leftover takeout, and has NO ROOM for people who actually cook food and do dishes and own appliances. I am too tired to move and too scared to get a loan, so I keep on staying here and the time it would take to clean it to my satisfaction on a daily basis would ensure that I could only work 4 hours a day and then we would all starve because of lack of income. It only takes a couple of minutes several times a day to check the internet, so that time saved would be of no help to me. I only watch one TV show a day while we have a lunch break and after I eat the lunch I fold clothes, unload the dishes and start dinner while watching the other half of it, and have three a week that I watch in the evening (usually I record these and watch them after I go to bed at night) so that time would not be saved either. I have delegated, my daughter is an immense help, but still I CANNOT CLEAN MY OWN HOUSE to my satisfaction in a reasonable period of time by myself. Sometimes I feel like just leaving it all here and moving away without anything and starting over in an EMPTY HOUSE. That, I could clean, no sweat!
That was so nice!
Thanks Desperado and the same to you also! 
you obviously were being nice
and letting her delay the 2 wks rent...but if she is going to start 'acting like a renter' -- whoa! that sounds bad -- i'd say its time to cut your losses and ask her to leave.
that was really nice of you (sm)
Can't say what I would do, but that's a very lucky dog to have you as a neighbor. A friend of mine was in a similar situation. Her dog was poisoned by an annoyed neighbor... or someone... She lives in the country and the pen wasn't even near anyone's property, but dogs are vulnerable to any mishap when left out on a long-term basis.
My dogs howl when they hear the garage door when I come home from an errand and many times get the neighbors' dogs howling...
They'll also howl on cue. My daughter looks at my male and puts her head up in the air like she's howling, he he will immediately start and then my female dog joins in. It's like a little tune. The rest of us in the house (and probably the people next door) are not amused by this...
You are a good person.
very nice (nm)

Sure it would be nice
but there's no reason we can't discuss those here.
Seen any good one's lately? not me. too expensive to go to the theater.
Oh, but I did see the lake house...wow! That was such a good movie! I watched it about 5 times in 1 weekend!
NICE!! Thank you! nm

Nice pic!
Now I'm looking forward to summer! It's 17 degrees here and windy.
Plus, I'd love to look that good in a bathing suit!
must be nice to not need $$$
what a braggart!!!
No, this was definitely not nice. Not toward
my mom and also not toward me. But now, as my sister took all the money from my mother, she has to care for our mom in case something bad happens, she might even pay for our mom's stay in the nursing home if her retirement funds run out.
So I just let it go, it's my sister.
It looks nice, but I would have liked it more without this
white fluffy thing on top.
How much do you ask for it?
And do you make it only in black/white or also in other colors?
Very nice. I really like the third one
You really should start doing that on the side. Go to craft shows, etc. Sell on line. Who knows? Might be profitable for you. Good luck.
