In Reply to: here in ohio - me
I haven't actually watched the radar yet but I have family that lives south of Ohio and I know they are expecting bad storms too. You might get it up from them and MI from the west. I know the normal flow is for their weather to come up from ohio and across the edge of Southeast MI. But the timing you mention wouldn't make sense so I'm not sure. Guess I'll be watching the weather channel this afternoon!

Hope you aren't someone I know. Why would you even
respond to the poster like this? Post the ways to reach this goal of yours instead of just mouthing off. What are you DOING to help the situation? Or do you just like spouting off your opinions with no substance? Bet you don't even vote let alone do anything constructive or supportive.
I know!! Aren't there any other doctors? - LOL (sm)
It's our little half hour escape to fantasy land!
Are sure sure there aren't other hidden -sm
issues, such as maybe drug or alcohol abuse?
Aren't there any agencies to help you? I cannot believe SM
you are not receiving child support.
I have cousin who did the same thing. Raised her grandchild alone. You must be very strong. Good luck to you.
Why aren't they working?
At least your son should be working. I agree with the other poster, you MUST cut them off. I can imagine how hard it will be, but it must be done. Sad situation, and it's the babies that suffer.
Are you sure you aren't one of my neighbors?
Sure do have the same attitude. Have a good day!
Aren't our babies fun??
 My Simon tries to put two toys in his mouth and throws them at my feet when I'm working - okay, I get the hint!! 80 degrees in Texas Monday - awesome.
Oh aren't they BEAUTIFUL!
Doncha just love flowers?! I was just talking to my husband today about how I just got royally screwed over by an on-line company...
My friend's husband just passed away after a long awful illness. So, I sent her some flowers. When I went to her house to give hugs and support in person, I didn't see them anywhere...no one sent the poor thing flowers . This lady has absolutely nothing, is dead broke, and has no family, and I was very bummed she didn't even get my floral version of a big hug. So I called the on-line floral place and they told me they had no idea and couldn't give me the name of the florist they do business with. Long story short, no flowers for this poor lady.
My husband thought flowers were a stupid way to spend money, but I told him that people LOVE getting flowers. No matter how bad things are, flowers make you temporarily forget. It's why I wanted to be a florist...one of the best jobs in the world is to give someone flowers. Then I learned how nasty some brides-to-be can be and bailed, because I can't take heat like that. Just dang.
You are welcome to e-mail me anytime at kathy@perin.org Like I said before, I only post under "Hayseed" because there were, at the time, lots of Kathy's and KathyP's and KPs posting and I just wanted to be different, otherwise I'd just use my regular old name. I gots nothin' to hide and hopefully no one to hide from, well, except from the Jehovah's Witness' folks. It's always been in my blood to just hide when I see 'em coming, don't know why really...that explanation is for another day I guess....
Oh my, aren't we uppity!
I've seen the Festivus episode. I googled the information people said to Google and did NOT find it. Obviously if someone has never heard of the "other evil board that shall not be named", it's not quite that easy to find it.
So get over yourself already and just post the name.
Well aren't you the lucky one! Most of us don't have
!
Do you REALLY think they aren't learning the
SF has one of the best school systems in the country.
As for 'separation of church and state', what makes you think this will be a religious ceremony? It may be nondominational.
I just can't believe the things I'm reading here this morning. It's really sad.
Aren't you guys always saying that
X
if you aren't doing it out of love
and because you want to, then don't!! You could allow others the opportunity, go out to eat, volunteer at a public dinner, etc. That's silly to do it all with that attitude. Be true to yourself.
Deeni - Are you sure you aren't ME? LOL
I'm just sorry I went full-in and did not figure it out first like you did.
I hope you are happy now in whatever relationship you are in...
Boy, you are pleasant, aren't you?
I would take a screaming toddler over you ANY day! Even someone's poorly behaved toddler.
You aren't bothering me....sm
The purse is 10-1/2 inches tall without handles and
10-1/2 inches wide. It is
4-1/4 inches deep from the front to back of the purse. With the handles it is 18-1/2 inches tall so the handles themselves are 8 inches.
LOL! Men are a whole different species, aren't they?
I have 'disappeared' a few clothing items too... They usually either don't notice or think they misplaced it somewhere - LOL!
Most of us on here aren't unemployed
But most of us are taxpayers and can see the cost of such a program. I won't even get into the infringements on personal rights. Unemployment is EARNED; the government has no right to try to find loopholes around preventing companies (think the Q here) from paying it out.
See the thread below about businesses that are and aren't

Mine aren't on the list...
Ours are a lab named Festus, a McNab named Jinx and two cats, Precious and Tiger. I'd just die laughing if Festus hit the top ten, that was my husband's big idea.
Aren't yeast infections
caused by the imbalance caused by all the heavy-duty antibiotics that have to be used nowdays to kill bacteria?
I am starting to see medical reports from journals saying that strong antibiotics seem to be causing the increase in serious allergies and asthma, and it's due to yeast and other fungi. Not all doctors are on board yet, but it took them along time to believe that ulcers were often caused by bacteria, so we shall see.
If your scissors aren't sharp enough, you can end up
literally sawing them off, which DOES hurt. (Trust me.)
I have also tied a thread tightly around the base, which cuts off the blood flow and they will die and fall off in a few days without pain.
these look like sugar ants, but aren't

Aren't those puppies the cutest!
I have a female Siberian husky who is the absolutely sweetest dog I have ever had. I'm sorry for your loss.
Aren't they sweet all crammed in together like that!
I love to sleep with my critters too. I sleep like a log when they are in bed. Sadly, my poor husband does not. He has to wear a CPAP and has a really bad back, so if the critters hog the bed, he's not a happy camper and I have to give them the boot. Thankfully they've pretty much learned to sleep next to me, or on my head, or smooshed up against me so I can't move at all during the night. Hey...maybe that's why I'm all crippled up come morning!
We actually bought a king size bed becase of the room needed to accompany everyone...how sad is THAT?!
LOL, dads are stubborn, aren't they?
I wish your friend the best of luck. I don't think his desire to want acknowledgment of his name choice is silly, either. Families are sure a trial sometimes.
LMAO--bipolar cat!! Aren't they all?!
I swear, that's exactly what makes 'em so great though!
People don't turn gay, they either are or they aren't - sm
so either he is bisexual or he is gay but married you to appear normal, or maybe he wanted kids and figured that by marrying a woman that would be the only way he would ever have children. First thing I would do is go get checked out medically by your OB/GYN for STDs, HIV, etc. If your sex life is less than wonderful then he is probably gay, if it is great then he is probably bisexual. I have a friend (male) who is bisexual, while he likes sex with women he prefers men. Obviously it is time you had a very serious talk with your husband and don't be snowed by his explaination which I am sure will be quite inventive. No straight man would be caught dead looking at gay porn (unless it is 2 women) or calling gay sex lines. I hope there are not children involved because that is going to make this harder for you than it already is.
Squirrels are creative, aren't they?
They can figure out a way to get into most birdfeeders. True acrobats!
They ARE amazing, aren't they? Definitely scary - (sm)
when you're indoors.... so much banging, rattling, stuff falling, etc. But if you're lucky enough to be outdoors, as I was during the 1989 Loma Prieta quake (7.1 on the Richter), it's totally awe-inspiring. I was getting ready to wash my truck, and was carrying a bucket of soapy water across the yard. Suddenly the trees started shaking, and I thought a sudden breeze had come up on what had been a quiet, muggy day. Then I saw that the barn was swaying back and forth, and realized it was a quake. A few steps further, and it really started rolling. Had to hang onto the side of the truck to remain standing. Giant redwood trees were whipping back and forth so far that the tops of them were almost horizontal. We had a large pasture in front of the property for horses, and there were large waves in the ground, moving up and down with more than a foot and a half of vertical displacement. I couldn't help but laugh... it was pretty funny. Interestingly, all the horses turned and stood facing in exactly the direction of the epicenter. Once it stopped & I could let go of the truck, I ran into the landlord's backyard to look at the pool. The waves were big enough to surf on.
A friend of mine who lived up in the Santa Cruz mountains was driving down a long, steep, straight road when the quake hit, and she actually saw a big wave in the pavement (the primary, or P-wave) coming straight at her. She stopped and rode it out in the truck.
Another, very LUCKY friend, had been driving on I-880, and had just emerged from the covered section of freeway that collapsed when the quake hit, so wasn't caught in that awful disaster. He said it was weird... felt like he had a front flat tire, so he stopped on the side of the freeway to check his tires. As did several hundred other people! Imagine the whole freeway stopping, and everyone looking at their tires.... a 'Chinese fire drill', California-style.
My mom lives directly on top of the epicenter of the Northridge quake of ྚ. It was a very sharp vertical quake, and it literally threw her out of her bed, lengthwise. Good thing, because the bookshelf/headboard part of the bed fell over and landed where her head had been on the pillow.
I lived down there during the 1971 Sylmar quake, and I was trying to stay in my bed while it bucked like a bronco. My sister was in the bathroom hanging onto the sink & screaming. We had a jillion aftershocks from that one, which were more unnerving than the original quake. Every time we had an aftershock, another of my sisters started hyperventilating. That night, my parents were having the floor measured for new carpets. The poor contractor doing the measurements was so rattled by the shocks, not to mention everyone screeching and running out of the house when they hit, that he measured everything wrong, and the carpet they brought didn't fit. So a couple weeks later he had to come back and do it all over again. I was in Jr. College back then, and had a part-time job working at a stable. After the quake, when the sun came up I went up to the stables for work that day, and it was too dangerous to clean stalls with the horse in there during the aftershocks, so I had to take each horse out and put it in a corral while I cleaned the stall. Took me forever! I was up there all alone all day, and wasn't really worried, 'til I sat down on the ground to sharpen a pair of animal clippers. THAT'S when I realized that the ground was continually moving all the time.... jiggling very faintly, sort of like Jello. That's what got me feeling spooked.
Another time, I think in the 80's, when I was at work we had a long, not-that-strong, rolling quake. I was in the basement using the copy-machine at the time. I'd had a migraine that day and had just taken Fiorinal for it, which made me feel a little strange sometimes. While at the copy machine, I was feeling really dizzy and strange, and hearing strange creaking noises. I'm thinking, 'Wow... I don't feel so hot!' The rolling continued, and I felt kind of nauseous. Tried not to look at the light in the copier, which has triggered migraines in me in the past. Noticed lots of people standing in the doorway to the Medical Records dept. and Radiation Oncology, and my foggy brain wondered why they were all taking their break at the same time. Still felt sick, and decided that if I didn't feel better within the hour, that I would go home to bed. Right about then, (with the floor still rolling), someone commented to me on how nonchalantly I was copying away during an earthquake! I was actually relieved to learn that's what the problem was, and not a reaction to the medication! :D
why aren't your kids in school?
Funny, there aren't a lot of answers on this one.. nm
.
aren't beagles yappers?
Every beagle I've ever known was a howlin' hounddog. Really noisy.
In general I'd say dog size & volume are inversely proportional.
my kids aren't grown yet, but
I definitely would not put up with the 19-yo. He can get out and get a job. As for your daughter, I feel for her b/c she has kids. I'm not sure that I'd let her move in, though. She should look for some place cheaper to live. Offer to keep her kids for a day while she house hunts or apartment hunts. I also understand what she's going through with childcare expense. How old is the child she's asking you to watch this summer? Is he/she old enough to entertain himself -- 10 or 11? -- old enough to fix himself a lunchmeat sandwich and watch TV? If so, then I think if you could, you should consider watching him over the summer. $250 may not seem like much, but if she's able to find somewhere cheaper to live, it could be the difference between living on her own or moving in with you.
Obviously, you are under no obligation to help either of your children, but I suspect this situation bothers you because you care for them greatly. Maybe a compromise could work to benefit both of you. Good luck!
Boy, you sure are the WalMart Defender of the Universe, aren't you?

If you aren't planning on more children, I would have the surgery.

Geez.. these aren't videos. You don't know so why comment?
These are images of real women and children, in Africa and in our country, some living in extreme poverty, some dying of AIDS and malaria. It's not just a video.
Sounds like offshore companies.....aren't

Aren't you nice thinking of me desperado!
No lupus...thank goodness. I have an appt to see a rheumatolgoist but have to wait several months and it's quite a drive away because, well, it's Maine and no one wants to set up shop here because they won't get rich. I was prescribed something called Celebrex but my insurance doesn't want to cover it and it's stuck in red tape. For now I'm just dealing with it the aches and pains like I have been--gritting my teeth and bearing it and popping an occaisonal handful of Tylenol. More good days than bad right now thankfully. I'm trying to stretch every day....not bonafide exercise per say, just stretching to keep things limber. I think it's helping...that and drinking like a fish (well, Crystal Light anyway!). The dreaded "fibromyalgia" word was thrown around but I don't buy that as a legit diagnosis (putting on flame suit). I just think it's a fancy word for the old-fashioned rheumatisms of gettin' old, but everyone seems to want some high-falutin name to throw around.
I'm not too psyched about seeing this specialist either because, well, admittedly I'm a bit of a bigot and it's not an American-sounding name (okay, it's downright Indian, dot not feather). Hey, I am what I am....give me someone with a degree earned here in the states. Plus, it's a dude and I don't like dude doctors. So, I'll probably wind up cancelling after all.
So there ya have it...way more than you wanted to know, as is my usual response to anything...even 'how's the weather.'
Hope you aren't diagnosed with fibro
because no one believes you anyway. I had heard about before, did not know really much about, if I typed on it paid no attention, diagnosed in 2004 and not having fun yet. This is so far uncontrollable for me-mine might have been better controlled if diagnosed with rheumatism- I would suppose rheumatism feels a lot better than being over the entire body.
Women aren't on their own listof priorities (sm)
I just read this on Oprah.com and it is really striking me. Thought it might strike some of you too. I actually have felt guilty when I was trying to exercise regularly and eat healthy....spending too much time on myself, too much money for healthy food.
Women aren't on their own list of priorities.
After taking care of everyone else, they are always putting themselves last on the list, and often have very little left to give. There are many women who aren't living—they are just existing. This is a form of self-abuse. Women often wear their exhaustion as a badge of honor. The more you do for your loved ones, the more acceptable it becomes to "let yourself go." Women believe it's okay to become a "sacrificial lamb" within their own families. This is a lie that we allow ourselves to buy into, but we need to wake up! The challenge for women is that they must re-language what it means to be a wife and mother. Being a good wife and mother means that if you don't take care of yourself, in the long run you are ultimately harming all the other people you love in your life. You won't be the only one who takes the hit.
I agree. Aren't you married adults?...
This is your husband, not your father. Having been in a relationship something like this in the very distant past I can tell you that you need to get rid of this jerk. Why do women put up with this garbage from their husbands or boyfriends? What advice would you give to a daughter or friend if she was in the same situation?
how can you gain weight if you aren't eating

When a post of yours gets deleted, aren't you notified?
I posted a funny email I had received "The Whys of Men".... a couple people responded that they thought it was funny, another one even responded to it with the Whys of Women...
It's no longer on this board, and I'm wondering why... The only time I ever got something deleted I was notified by the moderator...
anyone know what's up?
Wow, aren't you 2 just the nicest human beings?!! NOT. sm
How mean you are and hateful -she's still a person and deserves some compassion, not hatred because she is overweight. It's a hard struggle to lose weight, I speak from experience. You just sound like a fat-hater, which seems to be the only politically correct HATE allowed in this country these days.
My, aren't we defensive about our reading material...
the tabloids are trash most of the time, it doesn't matter how long they have been around. So you read the typical women's magazines, big deal. Not much in the way of intellectual stimulation there either besides how to get grass stains out of junior's clothes, how to make the perfect pot pie and how to please your man in bed (if you have to read an article to figure out how that's pretty bad!). Calm down and go back to your reading!
Aren't dogs just great. People
should strive to be more like them.
