was young and I always made sure he had those things because it was my job as his mother. But, he was not an irresonsible child where I think it counted. He graduated honor roll at his school, band, cross country track team medals, and now he is in the Navy training to be a Navy Seal. I think I did a pretty good job for having such an irresponsible child.

But obesity IS life-threatening. I type lots of that stuff -
and for the most part the psych. evaluation is more to be sure the person has not only the desire for the operation, but the support in place to help them through the difficult time afterward. It's not a walk in the park, not only is it major surgery, but there are lots of eating problems afterward. Too much food, or too much fatty or other hard-to-digest food, and they can become quite ill. They also have to begin a diet and lose a certain percentage of their weight before they get okayed for surgery. I think in part to make them safer to operate on, but also to begin to change their eating habits. After the gastric bypass, one still has to watch what they eat so as not to regain weight. But of course the bypass helps with how much they eat - because the stomach is a lot smaller. Still, if all the requirements are in place, I think for many people GP is much preferable to dying of other diseases caused by obesity. It also can make it possible for them to exercise and build up their cardiovascular system, further improving their health.
I think once disgust happens, lots of therapy is needed to feel love again. Lots

Lots and lots of SKATING ! - sm
Mostly inline street skating, up & down hills, too. Some roller skating and roller-disco. I was doing ice-skating, but can't afford it anymore, plus I prefer to skate outdoors. It works all muscles, is low-impact, fairly quick to learn compared to other sports, like skiing, is a cheap sport, and excellent for keeping balance & reflexes sharp. Most of the people I skate with look & act 10-20 years younger than their chronological ages.
I MAKE the time to skate. I eat my lunch at my desk, but take a break in the late afternoon before it gets dark, to exercise. This can also include a walk or jog around the neighborhood, bike ride into town to go to the market (cheaper than driving), a fast inline skate around town, or dance practice on a local tennis court. Then I work into the evening for as long as it takes to finish up.
By trial and error. Lots and LOTS of error!!! -nm

The same with lots of ice....
Cranberry juice and vodka over lots of ice is always my drink of choice...CHEERS!!!
Me, too. I need lots of help.
I've got 1 room that turned into a storage room and every week I tell myself I have to get in there and straighten it out. I open the door, look around and close the door, and find something else to do.
I don't have any closets in my house and it drives me nuts. No place to hang coats, etc. when coming in from outside. They get slung over the chair that nobody sits in by the door.
We have 2 sheds and a 1 car 'tent' garage. Hubby keeps half his stuff in the tent garage and shed, I keep some of my stuff in the shed and mom's stuff is in the other shed. The first shed was built when we were moving from the old house, needed some place to go with it until we got in the new place, but it's still there!!!! I can't get to it because of hubby's snow blower and other quipment. I probably have some antiques in there by now. 
Mom died 7 years ago and I still haven't looked to see what's in her shed. I just don't have time.
I love to be organized, but when I organized my home the last time, I couldn't find anything!!!
This is nothing new. Lots cannot get
an apartment because of bad credit, same for jobs as has been discussed before on this board. If you cannot handle credit, people think you cannot handle a job. You might have to go back a few years to see who the bozo person is because just did not happen lately.
Forgot,,,
some of the clubs listed above might have closed. Did not see them on Club Meds site. Profits?? The one I loved best was Mexico at Playa Blanca- out in the middle of nowhere and an oasis. I think you can get more for your buck now days.

The water at Ixtapa was nasty!! That is on the Pacific side I believe probaby just at the border, too so long to get there. The Cancun water is absolutely gorgeous and what is strange, the weather can be 110 and yet the sand is not hot!! All my trips were out of the country so could not tell you about the ones here in the country. My children and/or daughter and I usually went for 2 weeks at a time. My daughter returned to Mexico this past summer (I went to Alaska) and she went to a place called Blue Bay, all inclusive but I believe might have been a bit raunchy for my taste.

what about someone with multiple sclerosis? Thanks.
Oh, forgot this
When I first went there husband had made approximate width, depth so I could get ballpark figure (later when measured was really low) but was told then she would lose money on me because of my needs being small but would make it up on other customers. I had twice as much when they actually measured and the guy who measured said really mine little above average house.

I hope the owners get prosecuted and put in jail or at the very least, fined.

This was my aunt that called and yelled at me (my cousins' mom)She said that they are not speaking to me because I am a jerk and a jacka$$.
Sorry, I forgot this, Me2!
You asked about Tyne's party attire. She was just in her gorgeous little suit that nature gave her, the tri-colored short-haired little coat with dainty feet, her large brown eyes and her beautiful, larger than proportionate ears and big eyes. She was enjoying being the center of attention! 
JustDogs at the mall has those darling little outfits, but mom said she would never wear one. At Halloween I usually give a party (OMG, bats, Halloween, etc.) and dresed her up last year (we had the party at mom's) in a little devil suit. She kept it on for a little while, but then I took it off. She looked adorable with the horns on!!
I saw some little slippers in a magazine for dogs. They had duck slippers and lamb slippers! It was all I could do not to order four!!! Mom said she would just take them off! They sure were cute! There was a picture of a Boxer wearing a rain coat that was just too cute for words!
Talk to you later!

My MIL lives in the same city and we hardly ever see her. When I told her and my FIL that I was pregnant for her their comment, it's just another present to buy for Christmas. I'll take your mother over them any day.

the hospital did payroll
deductions every 2 weeks on the hospital bill including 2 different surgeries.
I forgot one...
When I was little, I was scared to death of The Lost Boys. My brother used to try to make me watch it - I made it through one time and then after that I cried hysterically every time it was on TV. I was also terrified of the Thriller video! I'm not really scared of the psycho killer movies, it's more the ghosts and vampires and supernatural.

my father is retired military, so we are USAA members and I think I've seen the discounts for Sprint services offered through them. Thanks for reminding me about that! Love USAA!!

When she broke up with a prior boyfriend of 1-1/2 years, she was upset for about a week and then was over it. Just give him time. And cookies.
Forgot to ask though sm
What if you want to do stuffing?

My son went to NYC at age 19; first job with airlines based out of Kennedy. I was scared to death for him. He did fine. I went to visit a year later - we had a wonderful time.
P.S. - I forgot to say
I wouldn't assume he did it. Believe it or not someone got ahold of my cell phone once and charged on it. It doesn't happen that often, but in today's day and age with all these hackers out there its better to inquire than assume and feel awful afterwards.
Sorry - I forgot to add this
I'm sorry I forgot to add that as I was reading the email and looking at the pic I wondered why in the world would sending an email of a so-called ghost standing next to a boy who died bring good luck? Gotta make you wonder.
On another note I did find an interesting article regarding chain letters. Here is the link.

She apparently had been taking cabs to and from the neighboring town, when she was only given permission to "hang out" in the town we live in. She would take the cabs to either get home by curfew or to the location that I had agreed to pick her up at. She would even walk around alone at night at times, unbeknownst to me. She has made some new friends that I don't know in this town and now wants to go there all the time. I am not comfortable with that at all. She basically feels entitled to do what she wants when she wants.
Forgot to add...
just in case it is unclear...the purpose of the packed suitcase is if he has another episode, all I have to do is zip up the suitcase and we are off to the foster care intake office.
Yes...I would really do it. If things get to that point, I would allow him to remain in foster care for a few months before starting the paperwork to get him back. We live in Georgia. They told me that it could take from 1 to 6 weeks to get him back, but that I would be able to get him back if I wanted to.
I forgot to add
I did ask him one time what solutions do these places have to offer. "None" was the answer. I said exactly. I said I can't listen to anyone who is going to get everyone in a panic over things that are going on but not give any solutions. That's what I don't like about any of the talk shows. They get people in an uproar and living in fear but they don't offer anything. But as they say "that goes on deaf ears"
I forgot one...

We also have a pool so we spend a lot of time outside swimming and having cookouts and bonfires with the neighbors.
Forgot to ask
Would you mind giving us the stats on your baby (name, weight, length, time born)? Funny how women usually like to hear all that. : )
Once she starts to be a little more aware and you can really see her connecting with you, it will be more rewarding.
sorry, forgot
here's one with good info.

Yep. I forgot about that
They don't like citrus. Orange peels or lemon peels or even some sort of essence. I used to work with a girl who said she put lemon juice on her plant leavevs and her kitten never touched them. You can also get something called Bitter Apple that is supposed to be a good cat deterrent, but I've never tried it.
You forgot the HOO after your BOO.
She sat for two months accepting lousy paychecks. She knew it wasn't getting any better. She could not pay her bills and now here's the eviction notice.
Wonder of wonders!!!
I have been waaaay down and out. You don't have a clue. Picking myself up and moving on worked for me.
I don't get it. Because I said pick yourself up and move on and get a job, it is terrible?
No wonder our country is in the state it's in.
Feeling sorry for yourself is healthy and helps?
Picking yourself up is a terrible thing to do?

I have lots more to worry about as well - sm
I have a 6-y/o daughter that is only 1 year out from her chemo for kidney cancer and has been having some worrying symptoms lately, I have bills, I have lots of home strife to deal with , I have a DH who acts younger than my kids half of the time and cannot deal with any major problems and has undiagnosed depression and possibly bi-polar. I carry a heavy load here so you are not the only one in this world with problems. OH, I am in the USA too, so what does that have to do with anything? The coat just angered me beyond belief, maybe it is the straw that broke my back, my way of venting, who knows, but it something I can at least try to take some action on and maybe get it back. I cannot control my daughter's cancer recovery, all I can do is watch and wait and see if we make it to 5 years recovery without any recurrence, for the bills I am trying to work harder and make more money, for my DH I just deal with him the best I can and do pretty well but not all the time. So I have trival things and big things to worry about and deal with, along with millions of others. Sorry if my kid's coat loss/theft was such a mundane topic to post about but I am/was T'eed off about it and needed to vent and get opinions if I could on this. Yours is duly noted.
Lots of recipes at
foodtv.com Everything you ever wanted.
lots of days like that!
if I can I make a quick run to the coffee shop for a latte or take a 5 minute walk. its amazing what a lift a cappuccino or a latte will bring to my day.
Lots of questions
1. How old is the first house? The one with the sewing room and the carpet coming up?
2. How many sq ft is the second house - the newer one?
3. Have the rest of the houses in your neighborhood appreciated 66% in the last five years? (from $75,000 to $125,000)
Your husband has a good idea about putting the money in savings for six months to make sure you can afford to pay a mortgage that is twice what you are paying now. And after six months, you will have $1800 more to put down on the house.
This is strictly personal experience - but last summer we moved from a 25-year-old house to a brand new one. We lived in the 25yo house for 12 years, and the money we spent remodeling and updating (+ original price) it would have bought us a brand new house of the same size. So I would say go for the newer house if it comes to a choice. Older houses can be a LOT of work.
OTOH, you say your husband likes woodworking. If you're willing to live in a house that is in a perpetual state of remodeling...go for it!
Transcribed lots of them, never had one sm
They usually use lidocaine, but it still sounds pretty painful. However, if your mom's doctor thinks she needs one, then I would strongly encourage her to have it done. She could take Tylenol or ibuprofen before the procedure, and if she has Xanax or Valium, she could take one (or her doctor could prescribe one for her). There are several diagnostic imaging tests that they encourage patients to take pain relievers and/or tranquilizers ahead of time. It can really help.
I got LOTs of it, in different places! Only the

Don't be, there are lots of others who have it far worse- sm
than those of us here with husbands that basically are just spoiled brats who want it all their own way and don't want to have to do anything other than go to work (and most don't even want to do that) come home, eat, and put up their feet and watch TV. Mom is supposed to do it all, cook, clean, deal with the kids on every level, be ready to go when hubby wants sex and work herself, all with a big smile on her face. At least that is what my husband expects, though he does do the cooking though lately he has really cut back and I have had to pick up the slack or no one eats. He cooks for himself and I do the kids and I. I do everything else even cut the grass sometimes as he is "too tired". He has been whining about retiring for years now, he is only 48 but thinks he should be able to quit and I pay all the bills, don't think so as I make only about 20% of what he does. He says when the house is paid off he is quiting. I have told him no that is not an option until the kids are out of college (another 16 years), he is not too happy about that. Once he hits 55 I know it will really become a battle (or when his parents die as he is expecting at least 1M from them), but I will probably quit MT then and go out and get a job especially if he is homw all day then. My only consolation if I do stick it out is I will be a rich widow and he will probably develop cirrhosis in the next few years as he has been drinking 8-12 light beers a day for about 25 years at least, and he does not eat much as well; and hates doctors so by the time he gets any serious illness it will be too late most likely. A friend of mine in the healthcare field is convinced it will happen, just a question of when. Who knows, don't really much care. I keep my kids happy and they do love their daddy and he loves them to pieces too, but he is just a bit too unrealistic in his expectations of them, me and life in general. If push comes to shove I will probably demand he leave, he hates the house and has said on more than one occasion if he goes I can have the house (how generous of him), though I'd demand it be paid off first, so he'd have to raid the 401K for $50K but he would not owe me a penny; and on the side of stupidity I'd probably get a equity line and pay off all the cc debt we have just to shut him up and have less stress about that. That payment is a lot less than a mortgage and it would be worth it in my mind to do. We'd both be paying off debt and he could not whine that I stuck him with that too. Child support will make him whine enough as it is. He'd walk away with a truck, trailer, boat, big screen TV, his collectables/antiques (a lot of stuff), my mom's china (I don't like it and she wanted him to have it when she died and he loves it), a few tables, half the dishes and a 5 acre lot about 12 miles away on which he could build a house. Yes, I have thought this out quite a bit. Anyone in a bad situation, don't bury your head in the sand, think about your options and have a game plan if necessary. Good luck to us all!
LOTS of ideas
Probably way more than you need - but better too much than too little, right? (link below)
Lots of thought...sm
For a true answer - I would want to know how long my marriage will last.
Least likely to know - Would have to agree with other poster - would not want to know if anything terrible is going to happen to my kids.
It has lots of caffeine.
I think less than coffee but I can pull an all nighter with it.
Been to lots of places
My favorite all-time place for me has to be Salzburg Austria (birthplace of Mozart), if you want sunny beaches the best time my hsbnd & I ever had was Ibiza (one of the Balearic Islands located in the Mediterranean Sea). We had two weeks of peace and quiet in a little bungalow. Spent every day lying on the beach, drinking sangrias & munching on paella and fresh seafood. Hiked all over the place. Had to take a bus from the airport to the hotel which was a very interesting ride as I felt like I was in a Romancing the Stone movie (we rode with animals on the bus). Sounds horrid but it was actually fun. My other "beach" vacation spot is Greece. Was there for a week. Lots and lots and lots to do there. Beaches, sightseeing, shopping. Mind you these were the mid 1980s when Reagan was president (and our country was a little well more liked than now), so not sure about safety in other countries. Hands down though I say Ibiza has to be the best if you want a relaxing beach vacation.
Get her lots of bottled H2O. nm
