    good point...sm
    except, in my opinion, the only thing they, organized religeon i.e., churches, are trying to *convert* is money out of our pockets and into theirs. I have felt for a long time that the word of God is free and that a lot of these *churches* feel they need to charge for their *services*, and I feel I can attain spirituality by my own studying and researching, rather than having to *conform* to what someone elses idea of God's word is. again, just my opinion. I don't open the door to these people either.
    Good point. Thank you for the

    Good point!
    I don't seem to need to be stressed for it to hit me, and unfortunately it always seems to be when I need to be out the door.

    I had my gallbladder removed a couple of months ago and it seems even worse since then, alot of diarrhea.
    Good point-
    history shouldn't have to repeat itself- if we will only learn from it.

    Look what happened during WWII to the Japanese, being put in interment camps (and these were American citizens) because of the hysteria at the time.

    And during the Holocaust jewish people were desperate to come here for saftey and yet were limited to less than 30,000 a year, and many were turned away because of immigration policies.

    What I find truly shocking is that in 1939 a Roper poll found that only 39 percent of Americans felt that Jews should be treated like other people. 53 percent believed that "Jews are different and should be restricted" and 10 percent believed that Jews should be deported (knowing what their fate would be!!). The United State's tight immigration polices were not lifted during the Holocaust and it is estimated that 190,000 to 200,000 Jews could have been saved if it were not for deliberately created obstacles to immigration. But hey we couldn't have them all coming over here and taking over the country, right?

    Of course we now know that at the same time our own government was sneaking in Nazi war criminals so we could utilize their research and knowledge.

    Now the Muslims are being treated like second-class citizens, and people seem to think it is perfectly legitimate and acceptable (because they all must be terrorists). Sound familiar?

    Just be grateful for having the good fortune of being born as American citizens and have a little tolerance for those who are not as fortunate.
    Good point- thanks! (nm)

    That's a good point too - thank you (sm)
    I think I am going to rethink my earlier decision to just go with the popular advice to wait because that really is playing a game, and the precedent has already been set so if I change it now, he might take that as an ultimatum. I think I will ask, and if he says I am contacting him too much I will back off. If not, and he is happy with things as they are, I will just go with it.
    Oh, good point.
    I forgot about exercise.  I have definitely stepped that up a few notches, which has helped a lot.
    Good point!
    Replacement activities are definitely helpful-especially for times when you normally smoked. For instance, I would drink water when I was on the phone cause I smoked alot then.

    And like Misha said, note the money you are saving and use it to reward yourself for doing great- get massages or whatever you want to pamper yourself.
    Good point. (sm)
    I've had the same occur with my kids, as far as sometimes not having sufficient time to get to class (on time).
    Good point. It is all about the key...
    but what does the key truly signify? Especially if one is home all time anyway.
    Good point
    Heck, I forget to take other meds sometimes and they are not of the same variety and are not the cause of my forgetfulness.
    Wow...good point. nm

    wow good point!!

    I just told my mom today that the next one I make I am not putting the white boa trim on top because I said some people may not want that. I am asking $20 on ebay for this one. The ones without the trim on top will be less, probably $15. This is just the first one. I am going to make many different ones and different colors and see how they do.
    Very good point...
    ... and somehow, even though I'm in my 50s, I hadn't really thought of it that way, because my mind hasn't caught up with my aging carcass (and I hope it never does, actually).

    But after my father had passed away, and my mother's best friend died unexpectedly, the friend's husband started hitting on my mom. She said to me, the LAST thing she needed was another old geezer to nurse through his final illness and watch die!
    Yes, very good point on crating!
    The poor animals simply become conditioned (brainwashed) basically because they have no other choice. Crates are used because owners are too lazy to take a couple weeks of physically teaching a dog to toilet outside. There are much better and more humane ways than crating.
    You know both of you make a good point (sm)

    Deciding to control our own reactions because "we will never, ever control what comes at us." Excellent point.
    Good point. My son put me on his plan...sm
    last Christmas because I travel a lot by myself. I was considering dropping the land line, but now I don't think I will.
    you make a very good point
    I like your perspective. And by the way, your kids will expect you to apologize when you mess up...mine do. No one gets a free pass.
    Good point! I could never buy a CD of Adam's
    nm
    Good point...I'll pay $10 only. :D :D nm
    ......
    Good point, I can see that as possible - I guess (sm)
    If I never loan him money and I only pay for what is comfortable to me, then I can't be taken advantage of. If he started to ask for money, I could say no and break it off then, when I knew for sure. I guess if I draw the line now that's a good thing.
    Playmates and playgrounds - good point (sm)
    Yes! He goes on these three day fishing trips with his buddies, and they drink the whole time - a lot. He told me last night that no one else in that group cares what the other one does - he said "we all try to make sure each other is safe but other than that, we are all grown men, everybody has their secrets and their habits and all of us realize that."
    Good. If you had relied on recept. to get your point
    x
    Good point! Maybe he should have to pay child support!
    !
    Good point, I will be contacting a lawyer - sm
    to get their input, though I wil probably do the filing solo so I save money, only about $300 if I do it myself. Just need to get info and follow the rules.
    a baby man....lol....haha!!! another good point! sm
    my self esteem is really pretty good. Just that my heart is sometimes bigger than my head
    Okay good news first, the running will stop at some point.

    My youngest (3-1/2 now) did the same thing, and my 5-year-old never did either.  I was mortified with his behavior and the worst part was my dh thought I was overreacting.  Then he took the kids to the store alone one day.  He came home and said "Wow Tommy is naughty in the store", well duh!!!! that is why I look like I have been through a battle when I get home from the store everytime.  At about 2 1/2 he started listening and got psyced about holding on to the cart with mommy, or even better riding in one of the "car carts" that they have at the supermarket.  But anywhere that he needed to sit still for I just ended up finding a babysitter until he was more calm (around 32 months). 


    My 5-year-old starts school this year too and she is having the same issue.  She is not a shy girl by any means,but she is soooo worried about K.  I think it is normal and I am hoping that she will be okay once she gets there and is involved in the activities. 


    Sorry I guess this was not really much help, except to know you are not alone. 


     


    Thanks, Wannie! nm

    I don't know why Amy is attacking you - I don't see how anyone could feel bad about a working person with kids taking food stamps - I also wondered who was taking care of Amy's kids since she was always working. . I would much rather see a working person get help than an able bodied person who doesn't try.
    EXACTLY Wannie!-I couldn't have said it better

    I agree with you Wannie!
    If you didn't need it on the 24th, then just wait til the 26th. As for emergencies, you should always have a back up plan. I live in the country, I do this ALL the time! I can't run to the store everytime something doesn't work right!! Sorry your husband may have to work on Christmas Day.
    Wannie, how are you holding up hun?

    Just letting you know you and your mom are in my thoughts.


     


    I agree with you, Wannie
    No way would I be involved with my family if they tried to exclude my husband.  He and I are one, our family is our first priority.  The OP's husband should stand up for his wife above all else.  She should be his first priority. 
    Wannie, is there such a thing as sweet
    cheese? Might have to try that out. My hubby says he is getting home late so instead of him cooking, I am out to get a pizza. Getting those olives and pepperoni for me, yum!
    Congratulations to your husband Wannie
    It's wonderful that he's been sober for six months. Good luck to him.
    Wonderful news Wannie
    Congrats to your husband and to you too for sticking it out with him. I'm sure it wasn't easy. I actually don't drink and never have. People think that's strange, but I never felt the need and I just never liked it.
    Wannie, they are probably sitting on their fat behinds
    right now not offering much to society, as much as they would like to think they are special. They can look down their noses at those who have had to ask for assistance and say what they will because they have sad, pitiful lives and only feel superior lambasting others (I guarantee one of them is looking up the word lambasting right now?). Be prepared for some snappy, snarky comment from one of them. They are unhappy with themselves which is why they must degrade others. You have done nothing to warrant their scorn.
    I agree. From the poster below with opinion different than Wannie.
    uio
    and yer point? - many MTs are 55+...in the USA....
    However, to the Jean Stapleton responder, Jean isn't Jewish *lol*
    E-Bay will never help at this point. Way too
    soon. Most sellers do not write and let you know its shipped - the old days, perhaps, but not now. E-Bay and Paypal both use 10 days out, I believe, as the earliest you should start to fret at all - its only up to the seller to ship immediately and/or let the buyer know. I've been dealing with E-Bay since its inception, and we are also Power Sellers - unless the seller has a lot of negatives, I would just chill. If they did have negatives, you should not have dealt with them. I am assuming the seller didn't have negatives, and just is not going to be rushed. Its really lost the personal touch of the old days, and you are nothing more than an invisible entity buying something thru the mail. Not the way we do business, but the way most business is done now on E-Bay. Good luck!
    And your point would be??
    Any drug company whether Merck or another making the drug would, duh, naturally make a profit. I think that is why pharmaceutical companies are in the business or am I missing something here?
    I think his point was that
    for things like STD's or perhaps a vaccine for boys to keep them from giving girls STD's in the first place, MAYBE keep them from getting prostate cancer. He just wondered if the drug companies are working as hard on these things for young boys or if, once again, they are putting the burden on females.
    She's got a point though!
    You cannot hold a job down and have a child on one knee.  You need both hands to type.  Time and time again, these posters get on here and ask how to do it?  I don't think Minnie is too way off track here.  I mean, you have to set boundaries.  You can't expect to coddle a toddler or infant all day and type at the same time.  She'll have to make some changes if she's not getting the support from her hubby.  Not everyone has family to fall back on for babysitting needs, but the OP sounds like she'd be better off getting a job on-site and taking her children to daycare as they may receive better treatment.  Sounds like a lot of hostility in that household, which cannot be very good for the children.  Some changes need to be made and quick before it escalates into something worse.  It is not fair to the children. 
    I think you do have a point, but sm
    the same goes for married people.  When I got married my coworkers wanted to know when we planned to start a "family".  So once we started the "family" they wanted to know if we planned on having an only child or having more children?  It never ends.  Some people are, well. "nosey".  They like to know everyone's business.  It gives them something to fill the voids in their lives I would guess.  I wouldn't worry to much about mixing with this crowd too much.  Sometimes I wonder if being single isn't more "hip" now than it was in the past.  Have fun and enjoy.  Life is too short! 
    my point exactly--sm
    by the way this person keeps pushing this stuff about koreans teaching anti-americanism, it makes you think that this was the reason this kid did this, which is just not the case. I'm glad to know there are others that feel the way I do!
    my point exactly! nm

    You have to look at it from their point of
    If you loan out money/credit and someone promises to pay, and this happens with several borrowers, you cannot afford to give much in the way of leniency.

    They are in the business to make money.

    I feel for you. Unfortunately, too many people live check to check or beyond their means and it only takes 1 foul up to do this to them.

    Your best bet is to work hard to put yourself into a place where you don't have to worry about it.
    My point exactly!
    It is the craziest thing- I will never understand it. Do they not realize that they are not only encouraging people to declare bankruptcy but in a sense actually rewarding them for it?!?

    But you know, I think it comes back to what I was saying earlier- they just write it all off so they really don't care if the money comes from you or not. They always get their money one way or another. Grrrrrr!!!
    What is your point? nm
    x
    yep, my point exactly (OP)
    Teaching them in life they will always be rewarded for something...NOT! I think an award should genuinely be earned and I'm sorry if all the kids don't get one...they just need to work harder and earn it...
