I was thinking more along the lines
poo maybe?

I'm curious to see what this really does mean.. LOL. First thing that came to my warped mind.


I was actually thinking along the same lines...

And Julianne is only 19!!! Don't know how old Helio (sp?) is, but I'm sure he's much older than that, considering he and his GF had been together for 6 years...that's a long time to throw away, she did it for some good reason, I'd think. 


It's all in the name of TV ratings and money, that's it.  I did notice in the beginning of the show (disclaimer: I quit watching after Sabrina went home) that Jenny was very uncomfortable with her partner pawing at her and somewhat reluctant to get into the dances and be all sexy.  I think she made the comment about doing that kind of stuff with her partner and his being so much younger than her, and the fact that she's a mom.


And I agree with the poster that said it's a hard job raising moral kids in an immoral world, I'm struggling with that very thing too.  All we can do is pray, pray, pray!


Clothes lines
We have fixed our own dryer half a dozen times, so we have a back up clothes line. One is in the house and one on the back porch. Unmentionables stay in the house. Wait for the reaction when they use that first scratchy towel for real snobbery!
Wouldn't this be along the same lines

of forcing a student to take a urine drug test?  Isn't that illegal?  Whether she's pregnant or not is none of the school's business, unless it is a private school and it is specifically written in the contract that they can test for pregnancy without parental permission (which I highly doubt!).  That counselor should lose his job and the school should have to make monetary restitution for the child's suffering. 


How can any school official be that stupid to think they're not going to be sued over it? 


Sometimes age crosses over the lines
You are saying no one's business but actually it can be a court's business. There are laws that protect older citizens, seniors, from younger people coming in and swindling them out of money. So, it can be other's business. I have been there as the daughter of a man who, before it could get to court, was taken for over $150,000 that we could count. That does not count the money a nurse's aide got out of him (she used to care for the man's wife, younger) and took him for some money also. That is the court's business.
Thinking along the same lines
I can't sell my house at the moment (too much competition from foreclosures), so I thought I'd buy the land now & build when I sell. When I started checking into financing I found that financing land is harder, lots of times they want to see a building plan and will only finance for 5 years, by which time you are supposed to be ready to convert to a construction loan & start building. I can't really guarantee I'd be ready by then, plus the interest rates are a lot higher for land than for homes, so that kind of killed that idea. My next thought was to refi my house, get enough cash out to pay cash for the land, which is still something I might do. Interest rate would be lower & no deadlines. In terms of what to build, I've also thought about some sort of kit home or modular. The idea of buying something with an existing modular on it is a good one because the utilities would already be in place. Another thought I had is moving my house! I think it would be easier to sell my empty lot than to sell it with the house. Or buying land with a beat-up fixer on it -- at least the utilities would be in place. I could scrape the house & start over but wouldn't have to worry about water, etc. Yet another possibility: I'm seeing lots of unfinished homes; people who ran out of money before the home was finished. Some good bargains there, unless the permits have all expired.

I'm not worried about electric since I plan on having off-grid solar, but internet access is an issue. Start googling "broadband by zipcode" & that sort of thing to find websites that will give you all the ISPs for a certain area.

These days it might actually be cheaper to find something already built, even if it's a scraper, than to build your own, & a lot less hassle. I'm still looking at all the options.
I was thinking along those lines also. sm
Also, maybe he has urine stones. Males are more prone than females. Why, I don't know.

My old cat was trying to pee in the plants, in the laundry basket, where ever the urge hit. I had no clue what was going on but took him to the vet. The vet literally put in a Foley and a little bag. I was in shock when I saw it. Who would have thought leg bags for felines.

Anyway, he gave me some antibiotics and another pill, a week's supple of Hills Science Diet, and within a week he was back to normal.

I now keep them all on Iams. It is more expensive but they don't eat as much and I have not had any urinary tract problems in over 5 years.
i would say something along teh lines of how you are sorry for the things that has happened to him w
but you cant. adn the important thing now is, that he has his own children that watch and learn from his actions and that if he would like to break the chain...he needs to start acting differently towards them. he isnt going to be able to take back or change things for himself, but he can change things for his children which they will carry with them onto their children... he needs to show them the better way to have a merry christmas by "acting it".---my opinion. (comes from experience,..children dont always need to know the truth about every detail...they learn more from actions)
But they can say I need xx reports/lines in 24 hours.
x
I'm not even motivated by the lines anymore! (sm)
I have done this work for about 11 years. At first I loved it. I still do love it in a way...I mean I would not mind doing it every once in a while LOL! But I just can't stay focused on it anymore. And I have been having anxiety and panic too and trouble sleeping. I think it is because we don't use our bodies or brains in a normal way and things start malfunctioning. LOL! I don't know! I just know it's making me nuts to keep sitting here all day every day! I got a chance to go with a friend today to walk, have lunch and go shopping. The pure ecstatic feeling I got just at the thought of taking a walk in the daylight and eating lunch out was amazing. That's kind of a problem....it's not that exciting!
From a man's point of view on same sex lines
He told me just this morning most guys do not want to be on chat lines with other guys, do not want to even see things like that nor talk about it even. He says most guys he knows shy away from anything even resembling gay issues, no magazines, no chat lines, nothing. He works at a trucking firm and he says never hears other discussing subjects like this. He thinks there is more than just the chatting going on. This is from my man's point of view.
Reading between the lines and I understand
what you have said. There was nothing at all wrong with what I said. When you point a finger as some do here, don’t they understand more fingers are pointing back at them?
Grocery Store Check Out Lines
I can't stand people who go into the line that says 10 or less items and have double or triple that.
Ever notice that if you do 2000-3000 lines a day...sm
that people don't want to believe you? I transcribe 2800-3000 lines a day in an 8 hour shift, 65 character line. I've been in the business 27 years, type 150 wpm and pretty much keep up with the dictators speed. Some folks try to accuse me of sneaking in lines outside of my shift to make myself look good... but these are people that typically type 60-80 wpm, stop every few minutes to take care of kids, neighbors deliveries, etc. and wonder why they can't meet minimum production standards.
400 lines per hour? You need to teach me a few things! LOL nm

Amen and OP. Thanks for the perfect punch lines for

Lots of clothes lines here that look like umbrellas sm

and this was FOX, not CNN, my mistake. Anyway, the article also said that she had been sitting in her cell for 23 hours with absolutely nothing to do.

The Meaning of R.S.V.P.


Let's Clear Up the Confusion



I hope that this week's tip will benefit hosts and guests alike, because there seems to be a lot of confusion about the meaning of the above term.

Lack of RSVP's - A Growing Problem


I hear more and more often, and have found in my personal experience, that hosts often do not receive firm indications whether guests plan to attend their parties, even if R.S.V.P. is clearly printed on the invitation. This could mean either one of two things. First it could mean that rudeness is a growing trend in our society. Or, as I would prefer to believe, people no longer understand what the term means. Assuming the best, and that the decline in R.S.V.P.'s can be attributed to ignorance and not rudeness, I will clarify this for the record.

What RSVP Means


The term R.S.V.P. comes from the French expression "répondez s'il vous plaît", meaning "please respond". If R.S.V.P. is written on an invitation it means the invited guest must tell the host whether or not they plan to attend the party. It does not mean to respond only if you're coming, and it does not mean respond only if you're not coming (the expression "regrets only" is reserved for that instance). It means the host needs a definite head count for the planned event, and needs it by the date specified on the invitation.

Why It's Inconsiderate to Not RSVP


An incomplete list of respondents can cause numerous problems for a host including difficulty in planning food quantities, issues relating to minimum guarantees with catering halls, uncertainty over the number of party favors and difficulties in planning appropriate seating, among other things.

So the next time you see R.S.V.P. on an invitation you receive, please call your host and respond promptly.



I had not seen that. I just read an article--sm
on the web today that said the wheat gluten, rice gluten was put into the chicken feed and the pig feed, as well. I don't recall reading anything about them buying the dog food and using that. How dumb! It has already killed thousands of dogs and cats, and they are going to try to kill the rest of our livestock too? animal murderers!

Found it rather amusing just reading the headline:


Ford says CEO will work for $1 to get loans


They did a huge article on him
in Homelife magazine. It is amazing the faith and courage he has after all he has been through!
I tried to find the article
but I don't think they have it online. He has a website called www.lifewithoutlimbs.org with some articles and video clips and tour dates.
I think the writer of this article sm
has too much time on his hands!

Having said that, there are places where I think jeans are in appropriate just like other types of dress. But to go to the extent the writer is going to is ridiculous.

I do think that most Americans don't pay attention to how they dress when they go out in public anymore, but again to just "boycott" jeans is ridiculous.

I will take my plain comfy jeans any day of the week!

Also, IMHO, in this bad economy people really are not worrying about what everybody is wearing. They are worrying about keeping their jobs and putting food on the table and keeping the lights on in the house!
The article said he had to get the principal's -sm
signature on a form allowing him to go, which the principal did sign (which says he can go obviously) but then said, well if you go you will be suspended even though I said it was okay. What total nits.
did you read the above article someone posted?

Here's an interesting article to read.....
http://www.michaelreidministries.org/live/index.php?id=240901m

“My faith is built not on what I’ve done but what He’s done for me”.


Read article the other day and as children age
the amount of pleasure with the parents went down dramatically. From infants and toddlers great but reaching preteens and older, just took a dramatic downturn. I would totally agree with that article, lived it myself.
The alternative list is in that article
and this is for many, many things but other than the mention of aluminum foil, I did not see an alternative for fabric softener on there. Aluminum foil? I would think that could break down and then you would have aluminum to contend with? Never-ending!!
I cant even bear to read the article
These girls must be monsters. Also the pro football player just indicted on charges of dog fighting sickens me. If you want to help, you can go to the Humane Society website and they have pre-written letters that can be sent off to the powers that be for him to get maximum sentencing. This world is a mess.
Read the article, and it's not a tsunami -

featherbed...long article

Ms. Evelyn is an extraordinaryly bright little young lady with real sharp wit and humor.  Here's the bi-weekly column that she writes.  Cat


*************************************************


Here and There: New mattresses can't beat good featherbed

By Evelyn Richardson












Featherbeds were once a luxury when compared to a hard felt mattress or a pallet on the floor. They were a definite step up from a straw tick whose stuffing became pulverized by the time the next threshing season came around to provide fresh straw.

We never raised geese, so when we dressed chickens, we gathered their soft breast and underside feathers to fill our featherbed. There was no concern about dander and feather allergies because we had not heard of such.

Not only was the featherbed luxuriously soft but also it was warm. As we lay on it, the fluff came up around us to give us a snugly feeling.

Of course, when the season changed to summer, we didn't want to sink into the featherbed. It was put underneath the mattress next to the open coil springs for storage until the hot weather was gone.

When this switch was made, we took all of the bed equipment outside for cleaning. The sunshine revitalized the featherbed and made the mattress smell sweet.

Dust and lint were thick on the springs and it fell my lot to deal with each coil individually and get them clean. My mother bought a cleaning tool from the Stanley salesman that was especially designed to fit the conical shape of the coils and I welcomed it as a godsend. These were the days before the miracle of running water and the availability of a spray hose to wash away the dust and lint. We propped the springs against a tree trunk and I began the painstaking task.

There was a knack for making up the bed when the featherbed was on top. We lifted, patted and punched the higher spots to redistribute the feathers evenly. When linens were changed each week, we flipped and rotated the featherbed before tucking the clean sheet tightly around the sides.

Blankets and quilts were added and a counterpane was the top decorative cover. Then to make the bed appear perfectly level, we took a broom handle and smoothed the surface, much the same as we would level a measuring spoon of salt with a spatula. We were not allowed to play on the bed when it was made up or to sit on the edge because there was no way to repair the dents without starting from scratch.

Today we have scientifically engineered sleeping foundations, some with pushbutton controls, to give our body the support it needs when we are at rest. Once my father had a severe back problem during the days when doctors made house calls. A new doctor in town visited him and declared that the first thing he should do was to get rid of the featherbed. My father was both angered and insulted by that young whippersnapper. I suppose he took the pills prescribed, but he kept right on sleeping on the featherbed and eventually got better.

Water, foam, air and all sorts of materials fill our mattresses here in the twenty-first century to give us a wide choice. And they cost considerably more than striped ticking that we sewed to make our own featherbed.


Well at least post a link to the article!

Just read a new article on sentence
I didn't get a chance to read it, because I'm on my out, but the headline read they his sentence is now 33 years. My daughter said she heard they upped it. Not sure if it's true or not, but he certainly deserves it.
Where was the article? Not a tabloid I hope.
I hope it's true in any event. I used to like Tom Cruise, but now he's just too strange for me. I had heard about the breastfeeding too. I was always wondering if it was true. Tom Cruise talked about the silent birth as well as another star that's a scientologist.
An article for you...and woohoo...congrats ;-)
There appears to be a trend of older women dating younger men, notably illustrated by celebrity couples including Demi Moore and Aston Kutcher, Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry, and the most recent fling between 48-year-old Linda Hogan and 19-year-old Charlie Hill. According to a study of 50,000 women daters over 30, conducted by an online dating site in 2007, more than one-third of the subjects showed interest in men at least 5 years younger. And in 2003, an AARP survey revealed 34 percent of 3,500 women (between ages 40 and 69) dated men who are 10 or more years younger than themselves. This trend appears to be shocking to some people, but I don't find it so unusual.
Socially, there's a role reversal of sorts going on, women are more powerful now than ever before and may want men who are younger, and perhaps, more flexible; men who can handle it if the woman's career and lifestyle takes priority over their own. Media portrayals in "Sex and the City" (like movie characters Smith Jerrod and Samantha Jones) and "Desperate Housewives" are also showing women that dates don't have to be older. Women who have high-powered careers -- or a well-developed self-image -- are exercising more choice. Women who have been divorced and are established single moms may enjoy having a playmate, someone to have fun with; who doesn't try to control her.
Can these older woman/younger man relationships last?
In my counseling office, I have seen many relationships succeed with this kind of older woman/younger man scenario.
The media focuses on the age difference, but what really makes or breaks the relationship is how well the couple can form a partnership that works
The media focuses on the age difference, but what really makes or breaks the relationship is how well the couple can form a partnership that works.
Age difference is an adolescent worry: When you're a teenager, an age difference of even two or three years makes a vast difference in your experience and your outlook on life. Such a difference can interfere with communication, life goals, outlook, and relationship experience. In addition, for the young, the social reaction to such a relationship is often negative. If one partner is underage, a sexual relationship is even against the law.
But, as you get older, life experience and emotional growth help to equalize your relationship skills and resources. A 10-year or more difference in your ages makes little difference in how well you can conduct your relationship.
Don't focus on an arbitrary numbers difference in your ages. If you are getting along, you have good communication and problem solving, and you love each other, that's a precious thing, and far more important than any age difference could be. If other people have a problem with it, let it be their problem.
Whether or not a relationship is healthy is not determined by age differences, but by the interaction between the partners. A 10-year difference is not too difficult to bridge, but a 20-year differences or more in age can lead to some difficulties as the partners get older. For example, the younger partner may mature and reconsider his or her choices, or an older partner may confront aging problems much sooner. But, as long as both parties are adult, and the couple has talked about their age difference and the future possibilities, I don't make judgments about their respective ages.
Dealing with the generation gap
There are healthy and unhealthy reasons to date someone of a different generation.
One inappropriate motivation for dating a younger person is fear of aging on the older person's part.
One inappropriate motivation for dating a younger person is fear of aging on the older person's part. A younger partner isn't going to reverse the aging process or protect you from old age. Obviously, a man or woman who dates someone as young as his or her children is going to run into some social opposition, but the differences that can cause the biggest problems within the couple's relationship are differing maturity levels.
As more and more women choose younger partners for relationships, the question arises: Are women in their late 30s and early 40s likely to be successful with partners who are 10 to 15 years younger than themselves?
Success in these relationships depends on what the motivations of both people are. Some older people feel younger at heart than their contemporaries and like to date people who are as active as they are. Chronological age doesn't always reflect either physical capability or emotional maturity. Sometimes an age difference creates a mentoring relationship the older person advises the younger one on life or career. This can backfire if and when the younger person decides he or she has learned enough, and wants to move on.
If you're asking: "Is it OK for me to have a partner who is much older or younger than I am?" You'll do better off if you forget about your ages and concentrate on whether the relationship works for both of you, or not. What really makes a romantic relationship succeed is the emotional connection.

Article about this in the last Woman's Day magazine....
Changes go into effect 07/11, and there are tips in the article on how to fight them jacking your rates, too. I only use prepaid credit cards but I skimmed the article anyway and it seemed very interesting.

Check their archives and have a peek at it. It might be able to guide you in stopping that interest rate hike.

Good luck.
Article - Vaccine in September
Here's why it all smacks of something rotten in Denmark to me, with these timelines, etc.:

No swine flu vaccine before September
2 hours ago

WASHINGTON (AFP) — A top US health official told lawmakers that vaccines against seasonal flu likely to not protect against swine flu and that a vaccine against that deadly disease cannot be ready before September.

"If everything went great, production could lead to availability as early as September," Anne Schuchat, acting deputy director for science and public health program at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

But "everything doesn't always go great," she warned the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.

Schuchat said there were "active efforts" to prepare for making the vaccine, but, when asked whether it would definitely be made, replied: "I don't believe that decision has been made yet."

Schuchat warned that scientists did not believe that vaccines against seasonal influenza, which kills 36,000 people each year, would protect against the "novel" virus now making headlines.

"We don't expect there to be protection," she said. "Based on the laboratory testing that's been done so far, we don't expect there to be cross-protection."

Asked why experts worried about swine flu given the annual havoc wreaked by regular, seasonal influenza, Schuchat said "we are dealing with a novel virus" and that the general population had not built up resistance to the illness.

"It's a virus that hasn't been around before," she said. "The general population doesn't have immunity to this virus. With seasonal flu, a good proportion of the population has some immunity."
