I wish everyone was like you - see message inside
I wish everyone would protest the "marketing" of Christmas. I think it's despicable that stores are "making money off of Jesus". Especially when they make as much money if they put out decorations the day after Thanksgiving like its been done for years and years.
I can't tell you how infuriated I get and my blood pressure rises thinking about this. I'm not a Christian (and I'm not an Athiest), but all I can think of is - Is this what Jesus would want, people to make money off of me?
Growing up we celebrated Christmas. Got all the fun gifts like slinkies, easy bake oven, Lite Brite, barbie dolls, etc, but nothing like I-pods, computers, XBox (you know all the $300 a pop gifts) and we considered ourselves very very lucky. For us we celebrated Christmas mostly for the spiritual reasons (not marketing). My sister and I were in girl scouts and we did a lot to help the less fortunate, and I remember on at least 3 occasions (maybe more, but I remember 3) we went through all our toys and clothes and all the stuff we didn't play with anymore that were still in good condition were rounded up and given to a home that a lot of kids lived at (it might have been an orphanage but I don't remember) - I just remember wrapping up our toys and giving them to the kids and they were so thankful and happy.
I really wish more people would walk out of a store without buying anything at the stores that decide to start "marketing Jesus" before Thanksgiving.

P.S. I am actucally
the drama queen in the family, just not used to name-calling I guess.
Do you actucally have them in your possession? sm
My mother's ashes were split so I could have some and so could my brother. Well, my brother never went to the funeral home to get them so a year and a half later I got them. The funeral home said they would keep them basically forever if no one claimed them.
I actucally stole a few.
My dog was put on valium...
We actucally found it for 2.92 in southeastern VA
over the weekend. We were traveling about an hour from home and only needed half a tank. Almost worth it to drive back when we need gas again. Here in our town it is 3.03.
I read this book and actucally
where "The Glass Castle" was supposed to be built is about 30-40 minutes from here. I also heard the author speak at a dinner. I still don't quite believe "everything" in the book but it did make for an interesting read.
This was actucally mentioned on NBC news last night
They referred to a message being sent on the internet but they did not call it a hoax. My phone rang so I missed the entire piece.
Okay, I have actucally laughed out loud today. Thanks! nm

Actucally Ryan and Simon's remarks to each other
are just for show. They are actucally very good friends in real life. Not that I necessarily think it is funny, but it is sometimes fun to see someone go after Simon and know they won't be judged (as in the singers).
I actucally meant on the envelope. Sorry I wasn't very clear. nm

the underlying read-between-the-lines message of the insurance lobbyist's message was (sm)
to, yes, appeal the denied claim. However, she lobbies for the insurance companies. She comes across sounding like she's on the patient's side but in reality she is on the side of the insurance company. The insurance company gets to deny whatever claims they want right off the bat. That leaves the SICK patient (who needs the coverage NOW when they are sick) to have to go through the appeals process. That could take quite a while. Imagine a cancer patient being denied some form of treatment that is going to help them. They now have to go through the appeals process (or pay out of pocket) in order for that treatment to be covered. In the MEANTIME their cancer is progressing. From the point of view of the insurance company, if they drag it out long enough they don't have to pay for it at all. That same insurance lobbyist was on 20/20 a little while back and basically came right out and said that the insurance companies COULDN'T AFFORD to pay for coverage for sick people. She's not on the patient's side.
sorry for typo inside, correction inside this one

chocolate/bannana pie. yeah sounds crazy but is really delicious. i found it at grocery store few years ago and everyone loved it.
take a graham cracker crust, slice banana in round circles and layer on bottom of crust. middle layer mix chocolate pudding and cover on top of banannas. cover with chocolate cool whip although i can't find chocolate cool whip anymore, you could probably mix chocolate syrup with cool whip to produce the same. top cool whip with rounds of banannas for decoration and grated chocolate and/or small squares.

Perhaps next year, you should ignore your ungrateful neighbors. Take those cards (and your kids) to a local nursing home and share them with lonely seniors. I can guarantee they would be greatful, and it would be a great lesson for your kids. Might as well share your kindness and caring with someone who will appreciate it!

I had very heavy bleeding during periods, would pass lots of clots. Also, when I would stand up, I'd feel a gush coming out. Sorry to be so graphic. I've heard that people have had a lot of pain with them, but I didn't. It was found by my doctor. He asked me if I felt that in my abdomen and I told him I thought I was just fat. My uterus was 22 weeks size.

Sometimes you have to unplug speakers and plug back in in order for your plug-and-play devices to register. You may even have to unplug speakers, restart and then plug in. If that does not work try restarting with speakers plugged in. I have had to do all 3 in the past. You could test them by plugging them in to a walkman or portable CD player. Might try Sound effects manager or sound effects and audio devices under control panel and go through a troubleshooting phase. I have a gateway and mine will only work in the "right out" plug.

The women in my family have used this for years for washing babies as well as our own clothes. My mother used for dishwashing. I am very familiar with its use, sorta like we have always used pressure cookers, some people scared of them, just things we have used over the years. Watch that toothpaste, though!

Too funny. Baby diapers and cut a whole out for the tail. You can get or make an elizabethan collar to put on her neck to keep her from tearing them up. (pic.) http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=15227&Ntt=diapers&Ntk=All&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&Np=1&pc=1&N=0&Nty=1
You can buy the cloth pants that they make for dogs at Petco or your local groomer

Attach with buttons or velcro across top and there is a slot on these for pads or you can use adhesive kind. Can't resist emailing a copy of one of my babies with Sock diapers. I keep my husbands socks if the get a whole in them from his steal toes. Usually in same place so I pull her tail through there. Designer diapers.

I searched baked hashbrowns...

This site lists a lot of dishes down about half way, ingredients are listed below names so you can scan for cheese.

Couple more. 2 of these have cream of cheddar soup. Gives good taste without the harsh texture of some cheeses.

Not a prescription. Should be available in any vitamin department. Brand not important--I always just buy the cheapest! Pills/capsules are big though--I have to cut them in half--so also buy with that in mind. As I recall there usually aren't directions--I usually take 2 for first dose then 2-3 times a day for really no specific time period just p.r.n. (like when I start to feel the blister coming up again) and preventively (mine triggered by sun exposure so take after I have been out in the sun).

Insist he go to counseling with you. If he refuses, attend on your own. You have some issues of your own that could use some help. Sharing misery stories with others on the Net is not the answer...Best of luck to you! :-)

I find it odd that you go through all of this about not gifting and trying to stay away from materialism, it's not what it's about...yet you don't mention one word about the real reason for Christmas.
Sounds like you're just not interested in being involved in Christmas, not that you have a respect for the birth of Christ.
By the way, the reason for gift giving is the same reason He came to us -- to give a gift. :)
Nothing wrong with buying gifts. It is not materialism. It is celebrating by giving to others, as He gave to us.

Maybe he misses you. Maybe he was just relieving some pressure. It's not that bizarre. Maybe you should tell him that you're there and available, and you wouldn't mind a morning romp or nooner yourself. You'd be surprised what a healthy bedroom life can do for a marriage even when there's discord. Guys feel closer to their women when they're getting some, but I understand how difficult it is as a woman to be physical with a guy when he's completely ticking you off. DH and I have figured out that when we get jerky toward each other, it's because we feel that one of us is carrying more of the load or not getting enough support from the other. So we try to make time to do something together even if it's just talking or going to lunch.

If the cat is going to be totally an inside cat, I think it is okay. . I don't think their should be too much pain associated with it - certainly not for 2 weeks. . But if the cat will be outside at all, it would not be a good idea, as it would have no way to protect itself or climb a tree to get away from dogs, etc. .

You all condemn Done's husband, though we do not even know what he wrote in this 'notorius' letter. How can you then judge and label him?
I said it already before, some people - I am not referring to Done - perceive even constructive criticism as abuse.
For instance, if a person is obese and somebody tells this person who cannot stop eating...'I think you should really lose some pounds...'
Some people call this 'abusive', 'rude', insensitive, etc.............

Is he being picked on in school? Sounds like there is more going on. Especially the part about him saying he is fat and then not liking stuff the week after you bought it, makes me wonder if somebody has made fun of the clothing/shoes and now he doesn't want to wear them. Kids are ruthless and mean. I would try to dig deeper. My heart breaks for him. I hope he feels better about himself!

My daughter (now 19) has always had more guy friends than girls mostly because she does not care for the drama and backstabbing that many teenage girls engage in. What I would take into account is how your daughter acts around these boys--how does she dress (my daughter is an athlete--no low-cut shirts, short skirts, etc) and what are her mannerisms (too flirty or just chillin as friends) or do you see something more--watch the behavior. Have always welcomed all kids to hang out at my house--even though it has driven up my food bill--because I feel that way I know what they're doing, hear how they are acting/talking (they can forget you are around the corner), and I get to know who they are hangin with. As time goes by you can get to know who a lot of the kids are in your town including siblings and parents--have always made it a point to network, network, network--soccer games, helping in school, etc. Always offer to drive too--they will also sometimes forget you have ears up there in the driver's seat. I like to remind my kids that they don't know who I know so they should keep that in mind when out in public because you never know what could get back to me.

I bought our Wii when it first came out, preordered it 2 years ago. My son got braces earlier this year. The orthodontist does not offer a payment plan so those thousands of $$$ have gone on the credit cards. it may have been a bad move to set up myself to be in debt like this but as my child has a very bad overbite, buck teeth and teeth behind each other I considered it a small price to pay for help with self esteem issues.
You will also note my original question did not solicit advice on what to do with the system. This is my son's decision, not mine. I was asking this to cover all of my bases BEFORE I retrieve the system in less than 2 hours from now.
By the way you sound very generous; I hope if you win anything you can give it to charity. Maybe you will win Powerball one day!
What I can't understand is this: If my son were to win $250 the replies in this thread would be very different. No one would suggest he give it back to the orthodontist.

If you're feeding your dog commercially bought dog food, Purina supposedly puts stuff in the food to make the poop easier to scoop (i.e., firm).
If you're feeding your dog regular food, try feeding him hamburger meat mixed with cooked rice for a couple days. That's what Granny used to do with her little white poodle that followed her everywhere and lived a nice long life.
Thanks!! see inside
He's 10.
He doesn't get residuals or anything, the contract i signed said it was a total buyout. But the fee he was paid was enough for gas back and forth (it's an hour and a half away) and food, plus I told him he could have a game he has been wanting.
He has had 3 agents for a while but this is his first real job so i'm hoping this will jump start his career!

JUST ASK THE INSTRUCTOR WHAT HE MEANS!!!!!!
First I think you need to find out more ...(see inside)
about exactly what the purpose of this class is. Maybe it's kids they feel might need a little extra help to be ready to advance into 3rd grade. Or maybe it's just the opposite, maybe an advanced class for kids who have already learned most of the 2nd grade stuff, to keep them busy until August or September, when they advance into the third grade. I would contact the school to see exactly what the purpose of this class is, and why you daughter was chosen for it. Then you will know how to handle it. Good luck.
