Obviously, this is turning out to be
a beauty contest or a pick the worst singer contest to see how long that person will stay.
This is getting ridiculous.
When Sanjayea, or however you spell his name, is in the bottom three but he has more votes, JUST SAY HE DOES NOT. Who knows how many votes anybody has anyway????
I am sorry but he is AWFUL and should not be there.
I have a son turning 7...sm
in a month and a half. Last year for his 6th birthday party, we had it at the local fire department. They do parties for free and set it up in their bay, let the kids roam around the fire trucks, get the pics taken, tour the fire house, etc. Towards the beginning they got a call and had to leave but the kids thought that was cool too. They had a limit on the number of kids they could hold in their bay.
This year for his upcoming birthday, we have reserved an indoor pool at the local community center for 2 hours. There is no limit on the number of people and we get our own lifeguard. This makes it very convenient for us as we are inviting 30 kids to the party and some of them have younger siblings that will probably also arrive.
Hey - the more the merrier. They are only young for a short time. Remember to have lots of fun and make some memories.
I am not turning this to a religion argument- sm
I prefer not to have my child taught at a church school for personal reasons. The school they were attending squeezed in church teachings as it is, though they were not a church school, and I was not thrilled with that either. Some teachers did it more than others. As for find a teacher that "really cares" only being at a church affiliated school, that is quite a broad statement to make. At the private school my kids had been attending, the teaches were paid 25% less than what the teachers made at the public school level, which could mean 3 things, the teacher really cared and wanted a small class size to teach, (2) wanted kids that were less troublesome to teach and better behaved (3) the teacher was inadequate and could not get hired in a public school (which was the case for a few teachers where my kids were). ---There are a lot of angles to look at when considering private school religion is one of them, tuition, quality of the teachers, certification, the school board, the parent organization, the involvment expects --ours was extreme involvement which is good and bad (burnout)--I am much happier now with the kids in public school, and my 8-y/o is now actually being taught by a qualified computer teacher and not some old lady who knew nothing about computers or computer programs trying to make a few extra bucks having the kids make designs and pictures on the computer (they had a new computer teacher every year as they'd quit every year). There are pros and cons to every school, you got to find out what you want to deal with.
so turning router off disables it?
I have a wireless router (not OP, BTW) and have never thought about turning it off...does that mean it will reset every morning when I log in to work? Thanks!
talk about turning around my words
Just because you teach your children that something is wrong to do does not teach them hate. I am sorry that you are so closed minded that knowing when something is wrong causes you to hate. My children are not so one sided and can separate the action from the person.

Birthday parties. What do ya'll do? I have a son turning 6 sm
and it's like we know everyone in the world! We are booking this place that can hold a lot of kids, so it's not like I'm paying by head count. He's turning 6, so I wasn't going to invite "girls" but ended up inviting both because I know that some parents would get their feelings hurt. Do you tend to do that? Like invite so and so because so and so knows so and so and if you don't invite so and so, so and so might get offended? LOL
I just sent out the invites and 5 families are invited who have kids that don't really play with my son but I know that if they "found out" we had a party and their kids weren't invited they would be hurt.....
Ahh, the trial and relationships of life! Okay, so why did I do it? Because I hate hurting people's feelings and I don't do it if it is in my power not to do it. So there.
All kinds were turning up their noses when I posted below and yet
this post I guess is considered very professional. What a big laugh.

Olympics - Female Chinese gymnasts - Do you think they were all 16 or turning 16?
I know our girls messed up, but I sure don't think those girls were all 16... just no way.
Is the Turning Stone? If so, LOVE and miss that place. LinK, if I ever sm
get back home (from Rome, NY), let us get together! You sound like a lot of fun! I've been looking at places to stay and visit for a while now - didn't realize Turning Stone had a lodge now? When I lived there (mid-90s) they didn't have it then.
Boy, do I miss upstate NY and snow. Haven't seen snow in YEARS. I'm in GA now. Have fun!!!!!
Keep the ball rolling...
Keep the Ball rolling-how about
favorite all time TV show. So many to choose from-Friends, Hell's Kitchen (love Chef Ramsey), 90210, CSI, Cold Case, again, just to name a few!
I sit on exercise ball .... sm
and I balance just fine with foot pedal. I dont' sit here for eight hours on my ball. Sometimes I switch out my chair and my ball. Just depends on how my bottom is feeling. I too sometimes sit with my leg folded under my other leg while working, but that's not good for your veins. I have really bad vericose veins (that's another story!)
good luck!
okay, now I get it........slow on the ball I guess

Wow! You're sure a ball of fire! nm

Okay. Guess you should look into that crystal ball you have
since you are all-seeing and all-knowing.
When you get sick, and you have to sell your house. I will listen to you.
When you have used up all the money in the bank, then I will listen to you.
By the way, do you know that Social Security was intended to be short term? Did you know that it is in danger of going bye-bye? And, oh yeah, it wasn't intended for the purposes it is being used for. How many years did you plan for exactly? My aunt had more than you mentioned and was considered ritch. Too bad she got sick the year before she died and lost it all, huh?
One episode in the hospital could wipe out everything you have saved all your life.
YOU ARE NOT IMMUNE. The more you spout, the worse things turn out. Better get that crystal ball out so you can be ready!
Tennis Ball in the rectum
Then doctors couldn't get a good enough hold on it to get it back out. Had to take him to go to the OR and have it surgically removed. Also light bulb man, except light bulb broke into hundreds of small pieces. OUCH!
Cotton Ball Game for kids - sm
When my daughter was little, we did this game where you put Vaseline on the child's nose and then they stick their nose into a bowl of cotton balls. Whoever has the most cotton balls stick to their nose wins. I am not sure if this is age appropriate, but I know she and her classmates loved it.
I've had a ball previously and just had too much trouble

With my luck, my "weight challenged" cat would eat the ball!
LOL!

I'm eyeing up that carpet and that tennis ball sm
That looks like an ooooolllld carpet but in extremely good shape. Grew up with one like that many moons ago. Your dog must be kin to my 2 dogs who both sleep on their backs with all 4 paws in the air. They look so cute. Now that tennis ball looks like mine. I think your baby took it from mine as I can't find any of them..... Just joking.
Second vote for Ball Blue Book
My mom used it and now I use it. I buy a new one every time time they come out with a new edition. Haven't killed anyone yet and those beans taste awfully good this time of year!
Yep, he plays basketball, paint ball, and wrestles.
I've also heard about paint ball guns...
they shoot people walking or riding on the sidewalk/road. And those things HURT...what's up with the youth of today? Are they really that bored, I mean, they have sooo much more than we (most of us) did when we were growing up. Maybe that's the problem, they're spoiled...anyway, I do hope they get caught. Thank goodness for my good kids!
Bridges...makes me ball my eyes out every time!
I really don't like "girly" movies either but for some reason I have to watch this one if I stumble on it while I'm "flicking" around. I always always always wind up crying like a big baby. It's such a beautifully done film. Just a classic.
And don't throw her a ball, because if she misses and it hits her guns, they may blow!
LOL
Can you describe the scrunch you do. Do you mean pull your toes and ball up your foot or what. nm
:
I took home ec too, but did not learn about canning. The Ball Blue Book gets my vote too...
Mine gets replaced every year also because the pages are all stuck together, stained, and otherwise show signs of major use. LOL. It is my bible for anything that can be canned or frozen or otherwise preserved.
$60 playing Bingo, would have been $120 - sm
but just as they were about to give me the money, someone shouted out Bingo; guess he was a bit slow to realize he had won, so the pot was split, disappointing but still fun. I also won a green malachite faced gold watch (not real gold, plate if that) in a contest; it had a first prize of a Corvette or $50K, and 100 2nd prizes of the watches (always wished my name had been picked first). I know there are 1 or 2 other things, but totally drawing a blank, nothing big whatever they were.
Had shingles before, do not think that is playing
a role and gosh I would hope it would be costochondritis. Funny to say that but when I pulled up some other things, much worse than I would care to hear was wrong. I have physical exam scheduled for a day next month but think I will just walk in either this Sunday or Monday and just wait to see someone. The pain is really unbearable. I took Tramadol for it but dulls a little but not all.
Was out with 3 yo grandson at 6:30 a.m. playing!!
Not really a snow lover myself anymore, but it sure was fun to watch his excitement. He even got old ski poles out of the barn and was skiing the imaginary slopes, swooosh! Of course mamaw had to be right there along with him!
Playing the game
1. I'm a HUGE flirt!
2. Can manage LOTS of money at my other job but can't seem to manage 3.00 in my own checking account {sigh}.
3. Would love to hop in an RV and travel the country!
He's playing you like a violin.
Drop him off at a shelter. End of story.
Doctors here are down playing it.
They are telling us it is no worse than any other flu you get. They also say the worst is over. However, my daughters Girl Scout trip they were supposed to take tomorrow still got cancelled as with a lot of UIL events.
Baby? That pic shows a kid playing with a See & Say!
If that kid is old enough to pull on the handle, then that kid is also old enough to drink from a sippy cup! Come on, people! Wake up! This lady could have easily bottled her breast milk instead of whipping it out (discreetly or not) on a plane full of people. Nothing like trapping a bunch of people on a plane and putting them in a very uncomfortable situation!
I breastfed my daughter until she started walking. After that, she went on a bottle, then to a sippy cup, then to a regular cup. She's 18 years old now and quite well adjusted.
And, we are not living in a third world country where kids up to 5 yrs old run up to their mother and just start suckin on a tit! This is America, where it's more cultured, where there are other options.
I remember a time when I was a kid at Disneyland and I saw a lady with her baby sitting on a bench. I wanted to see the baby and walked past just in time to see the woman whip out her tit for all to see. My mother was so enraged that she reported her and stood right next to the woman until security arrived and they told the lady that there were baby stations all around Disneyland where she could go to have privacy with her baby during feeding time. BTW, there are still baby stations with seating for mothers to breastfeed their babies.
No...worked it off playing my son's dang (sm)
My son just got the Nintendo Wii. If you're not familiar with this contraption, you actually go through the motions.
I played tennis and bowling all day long TG and I am SO sore!!! My right arm feels like it's about to fall off. Every time I reach for my mouse, I wince...
Yeah, been doing my fair share of grazing... will work it off at the mall lol ;-)
You are playing with fire and someone is going to get burned. sm
Infedility by any means is not moral and it is not right. Your husband has every right to be upset, as would I if my husband were doing the same. I'm not condemning you, I'm saying what I would tell anyone. In fact, my best friend brought a guy to the movies with us the other night and she is MARRIED. Needless to say, I was very upset and called her after the movie and told her I didn't think that was very cool.
I bet you 99% of the responders to this post will agree that what you are doing is not right.
It's just exciting and fun right now and not at all worth it in the end. If your husband finds out he may never respect or trust you ever again.
Also, what helps me if I ever, ever get an inkling to stray (which has happened once in our 10-year marriage), is to think about ALL my husband has been through with me and put up and has done for me (which is A LOT), and eventually the "other guy" just doesn't seem that appealing anymore. It actually made me cry when I began thinking of all my husband has done for me and my child (I was married once before we met).
Anyways, you have to stop it. Leading a double life weighs very heavy on your conscience. It's no fun. Not good for your health.
Oh, one more thing! Why is he single, if he is? He's probably a jerk. He ditched you once, right? If he's willing to hang on to you even though he knows you are married? He's not worth it, girl.
I was 7 or 8, playing Barbies with my friend.
I can't remember if we heard it on the radio, or if our parents were talking about it. I didn't have a clue at the time who Elvis was, but I knew that it was important.
You are so lucky to have a cat who enjoys playing!
 Mine is too old now to do much more than swat at the grim reaper every now and again. He's almost 16 now and he's getting kinda stinky. He always was a grump though. He'll come in here and park himself right on my mouse...I mean like direct butthole contact with the mouse, and when I try to shoo him away, he flattens his ears and hisses at me and growls. At least he's still doing that I suppose.

But, I just don't get it.
If things are this dire and it sounds as if what you have posted about him is true, it sounds like you need to spend EVERY POSSIBLE MOMENT getting out of this situation to protect yourself but, most importantly, to protect your children.
What I don't understand is, if time is of the essence and you're taking all of these steps to extricate yourself and your children from this situation...
Why are you wasting precious time soliciting the opinions of virtual STRANGER on an internet forum, and wasting hours arguing with posters?
I dunno...I've never been in an abusive situation, but it seems to me soliciting advice and sympathy from strangers on the internet would be the LAST thing on my mind.
Best of luck to you. It's 2008. If you really want to get out of that situation, and get your children out of it, you can and will.
No, I wouldn't do that. Why playing cat and mouse?
It is your husband's duty to settle this in a way that the wife and the father are both content.
clarify please-u mean woman playing Mary.....sm
You do mean the person playing character of Mary in this movie got pregnant as a teen?
Welcome to the 21st Century, m'dear.........*lol* - not many couples are getting married today (although the gay community sure is trying to get married).....but the numbers are WAY down for hetero couples.........
in any event, it's just a flick/movie - what do you care about the actors/actresses who are playing the characters?
She's no woman, she IS 16 y/o. She is playing part of Mary
and she got pregnant by her 19 y/o boyfriend.
sounds like you guys are playing a game,

spent NYE playing Rock Band for PS2
a lot of fun though discovered I'm never going to be a drummer (or a singer) :) So I guess I won't quit my day job.
Well, 70s here in the south. Boys outside all day playing basketball sm
haven't seen snow in years and would love a little reprieve from the HEAT!
