Yes, but abortion would be only taking the budding tomatoe, not the whole plant.

Your Mum plant....

...is that like code for pubes?  'cause I totally can interpret the flag pole to mean whang, but the whoo-haw doesn't look nothing like a chrystanthemum....



Seriously though...if the dude has any heart problems, don't buy it.


lol, I definitely don't think the little girl was a *plant*....
but I do agree she may need a psychiatrist! Yikes.
Plant wash
I run mine through a short cycle in the top rack of the dishwasher.
You know, that's what the doc said! He told me to plant a garden or
pick weeds! Amazing. I remember one time recently when I was really PMDDing I wanted to rip my family's head off (each member one by one) but sat outside on the step, in the dark and heard the leaves move in the breeze. I sat out there for I don't know how long and I contained myself and felt more peaceful. It was not weed picking (it was at night), bust just being outside of the house in the cool air listening to the nothing of nature really helped.
I do think with this job I feel guilty to leave the house. Or maybe if I do leave I will never come back, LOL. I did get a red schwinn for Christmas from my husband (a hint to get out of the house I guess), and every day I think of a reason not to get out there. We are so lucky to work at home, I wonder why I dont just do it?
Thanks for all of your suggestions everybody. I am going to make a list of all these things and together I bet I will feel much better. I do already just for your helping me here. Thank you so much! :)
Help with aloe plant I inherited, not by choice!! sm

I inherited an aloe plant - suckered into taking it is more like it.  What kind of light does it want/need.  Does it get watered as I do the cactus or more often since I assume it is a succulent.  It has 12-inch long leaves or whatever they are that are starting to wilt down instead of standing up.  I live in northern MN so don't have real hot sun.  Right now it is in a south window and gets direct sunlight about 1-1/2 hours per day. 


Any plant medics out there?  Appreciate your help.

Refinish plant vinyl floors....
It has been six years since we put in plank vinyl (wood look) floors and they no longer shine like they use to.  Any recommendations on what to use and can you use anything?  Thanks
how about a nice floral plant for outdoors?
When we bought our first house, we needed a lot of landscaping done.  My gram bought us an outdoor trash can.  Those things are kind of pricy and new homeowners don't always have a lot of extra cash.  Plus, if she lived in an apartment, she probably doesn't have one.  Of course, if you opt with that, I would send her a gift card from Wal-Mart with a note attached as to the purpose.  I love getting gift cards.  Add a personal family photo if you don't just want to give the gift card or a nice candle.
FDA Warns Procter and Gamble of problems at Olay plant

WASHINGTON, May 5 (Reuters) - U.S. regulators found manufacturing problems at a Procter & Gamble Co (PG.N) plant in Puerto Rico that makes both cosmetics and over-the-counter drugs, a letter released on Tuesday said.


The manufacture and processing of over-the-counter drugs at the Olay LLC plant did not meet federal standards, the Food and Drug Administration said in an April 24 letter. Also, several cosmetic products "have been prepared, packed or held under insanitary conditions," the FDA said.


The drugs and cosmetics were made under conditions "whereby they may have become contaminated with filth, or whereby they may have been rendered injurious to health," the FDA said.


A Procter & Gamble representative could not immediately be reached for comment.


The FDA letter was posted on the agency's website at the link below:


If she'd had an abortion you would never even know about it.

By not having an abortion.

Like I said, it's not ideal, but so many people are so judgemental toward people who have kids young - at least they didn't take the easy way out and get an abortion.  I am not a pro lifer, but I do respect people who are willing to step up and raise their kids no matter what age they are.  I have friends who were forced to have abortions by their parents because they got pregnant young because the parents were so afraid of what people would think, and that's not right either.


I don't think their mom is going to win any mother-of-the year awards, but if she didn't accept Jamie Lynn's decision than she greatly reduces her chances of having a good relationship with the grandchild.  Babies are a gift - even when they aren't born into the perfect suburban home.  I'm not saying teen pregnancy is a good thing, but it happened, and now she has to make the best of a tough situation.


I'm against abortion, as well.
If you're referring to recognizing their civil union as a marriage, I am against it.


If abortion is murder ...
How do you treat a woman who has had an abortion?   Do you treat her differently from a woman who strangled her newborn?  Or a woman who killed the neighbor lady because she wanted the neighbor man for her own?
I agree with abortion being a choice.
should everyone see an ultrasound beforehand?  I am for the choice to do as you choose.  I believe in freedom as well, but there are people out there that believe abortion is murder.  That is all I was stating above there.  What I am saying is that there are circumstances like some named in this thread that shall we say "warrant" an abortion, but those "rules" would need to be up to the lawmaker.  Are we only talking about teenage pregnancies or pregnancies after the age of 45?  What type of pregnancies are we talking about that the mother should look at the ultrasound beforehand?  There would be a lot of ifs, ands, and buts, for this to become a law, wouldn't some agree?  That is all I was stating there.  I think this may have been misinterpreted.  Of course, I believe a woman has the right to choose in regards to her own healthcare whether it be an abortion, a hysterectomy, or to have a fracture fixated.  All the same to me.  Sorry if I have offended anyone, but that is how I feel. 
Anonymous question regarding abortion (sm)

With this being a major factor in the political arena right now I wanted to ask this: 


For anyone who has ever had an abortion (and there are many of us), were/are you ok with it still or did you have a period of extreme guilt/anxiety over it?  I had one and did not terribly regret it, other than a short grief period, until I actually had children.  I went through about two years of horrible guilt and remorse.  I am now pro-life. I feel an abortion kills an innocent child and causes emotional scars for the mother that will never go completely away.  I feel that I am not deserving of complete happiness in my life, ever, because I denied my child the right to have a life and attempt to find happiness.  I know my reasons at that time and I know I felt like it was something I had to do, but the fact is many of us had them to avoid the shame, embarassment and/or financial burden that we feared.  We thought we couldn't give our child a decent life even if we had him/her.  The thing is, for the small price of some embarassment/shame and inconvenience, we could have given a family without a child a chance to have a child to love and raise, we could have given that child an opportunity to grow and seek happiness, even with obstacles to overcome.  Instead, many of us chose a more selfish route, convincing ourselves it was less selfish.  Anyway, that's how I feel about it.  How about you.


I'm pro-choice. Abortion is not murder. SM
Abortions are performed very early on in pregnancy. I'm afraid to say this, but basically, it is a lump of tissue. Women have to right to form their own opinion, but the idea a person is aborting a roly-poly fully formed baby is a crock. This is propaganda devised by right-winged fundamentalists, many of whom happen to be men.

I do believe in practicing safe sex, so abortion will not be needed. That is the ideal, but we are all only human.

No, I never had an abortion. I had my daughter at age 25, after being married 5 years. My daughter was married at 30 and had her first child at 31. We are both Pro Choice.

What about Gay Rights and FOCA (abortion) then?
hmmmm?

We can legalize Gays and Abortion but prostitution, pot, marijuana etc. (much lesser evils) should be "prosecuted heavily", oh come on .... It's all about "feeling good". If gays 'feel good' with each other and teenage moms 'feel good' to abort then what's your issue with pot or marijuana users? Don't they have a right to feel good with all the economic benefits for government?
Whoever said abortion feels good? nm
x
I agree..I would even, in this case, opt for abortion.....nm
nm
Get over it. Abortion is legal, and American women
nm
No matter what laws are made, if women want to get an abortion
then they will. I have a couple of abortions prior to a marriage and prior to my 2 children. I have never so called suffered because of my decision, in fact I was young and could not have taken care of any children. I do not regret this decision. Either legal or illegal, makes no difference in a woman making the decision to seak an abortion.
Don't you remember Ronald Reagan's stance on abortion? sm
It was "I'm PRO-CHOICE. If the unborn baby has a choice, I am PRO-CHOICE."


You are correct: The majority of people would NOT vote for abortion
But they WOULD vote FOR Reproductive Choice. Speaking of "activist judges" - how do you feel about the handful that installed a War Criminal in our Whitehouse?
and the crime rate dropped 20 years after abortion was legalized

Actually, no, I am not taking it now
Just heard back on the market in a new name and thought would tell what I experienced from trying it the first time. Hear only have 15% fat and after that it is throne time- if you can make it there.
anyone taking Yaz ........... sm

anyone taking Yas specifically to treat PMS symptoms???  my doctor gave me three months' worth of Yaz to see if it helps my symptoms.  i haven't taken the pill in ages.  when i used to take it, i got really bad migraines.  i've been doing a little research, and found that people have side effects like nausea, anxiety, weight gain.  i know side effects differ from person to person, but wondering what your experience was.  i'm not a big pill taker. 


thanks


Try taking

vitamin C 500 mg with the iron, it is supposed to help with the iron absorption and help with constipation and nausea as well.


On top of being anemic, I also have psoriasis, so I have my hair falling out (including pubic, lol) and constantly looks like I have extremely dry skin on my face, ears and scalp. 


i'm taking it now.
But only for a month so far. I have high cholesterol but way worse triglycerides. I've had no side effects that i can contribute to it definitively; some muscle pain that i'm concerned about, but it could be a recent back injury worsening too...

what i DON'T like is that it is a statin. I understand that statins work really well to achieve the goal usually, but they also have bad side effects, including rhabdomyolysis. I've read a lot too on this class of drugs, and really didn't want to take them again, but for me, i'm at high risk for stroke or heart attack if i can't get my numbers down, so it is the lesser of evils i guess.

My educated opinion is this: if your cholesterol is NOT that high, and overall risk factors are not a real concern, i'd stay away from the drugs, statins in particular. If you do however take a statin, be sure to take the CoQ-10, which helps protect against the cell damage and effects of the statins. High cholesterol alone, in more recent studies, is not that indicative of a future problem. Lack of exercise and high-fat diets put one more at risk than cholesterol elevation. Like i said, without real necessity, i would not take a statin.
You are obviously set on taking
It's really sad...obviously you are not doing that bad, after all your child has a Wii...sounds very selfish to me, but hey...that's just me! Merry Christmas
I do not think that taking out ALL of the...
money from the joint accounts and putting it in one in only her name, as advised above, is acting defensively. You are entitled to your opinion and I to mine, but keep in mind that your children see how you act. That is all I am saying.
taking away
We had my son take verything out of his room, every nail out of the wall, put all his belongings in the garage, paint his room (which looked terrible by the way), and sleep on the floor until he surrendered his stubborness (about three nights on the floor). Then he had to put his room back together again.

This did not cure him, but it let him know that we were more stubborn than he was..
Good luck!
Try taking away something she likes!
I know it sounds harsh, but if you take away something she likes and not give her that until she finally is a "big girl", then she may want to go potty.  The other thing, I know how gross this is, but include her in your "potty time", and she may realize "Wow, Mom is a big girl, and I want to be like Mom!  It is a tough call, but my daughter went through the same thing.  I always got the "I'm too busy!"  So, I began asking her all of the time, and finally she went because she didn't want me to ask her especially in front of her brother.  She was about 4 1/2!  Good luck! 
Anyone taking Pamelor?
Doctor started me on one 10 mg a night for sleep but last night woke up at 5 in the morning due to some pain I am having. She said I could go to 2 a night but my question to you is do I have to work the dosage up or do you think the 20 is too much for a second night of taking? Thanks.
I said never again for taking in animal because
right after I had surgery, a Springer Spaniel came to my door. Loving animals I took him in, put flyers out in the neighborhood trying to find owner, called the pound to see if anyone declared missing, put ad in the paper under found animals, nothing-all the calls I got wanted him, did not lose him. I interviewed and hoped I chose the best- he was high energy and me low. It breaks my heart to see strays, feel so sorry and carry dog food in the back of my vehicle to feed in case I come across 1-I have before.
No. Just the motorcade taking
her to jail was driving by a circus that was set up by the side of the road. It was a pretty funny site and Shep was having a field day.
I don't like taking pills either, but
it will be 3 years in Novemeber that I lost my mother suddenly. Within 2 weeks I had to take my daughter to the doctor (family practice with my mother's doc there) and he talked to me at length and suggested antidepressants to at least help get through the holidays. They truely did seem to make a difference. By March I stopped taking them. It does get easier as times goes by but the pain and the missing will always be there. I had such a strong support system with family and friends that I didn't feel the need for grief counseling but a friend of mine met one on one and in a group setting to help with her grief and it truely helped her. Praying for you.
Yep...taking something for that which helps a lot though (sm)
Trouble sleeping, etc. Mostly get a restless feeling during the day...bored, want to do something different, need to think about multiple things at once. Want to hear the TV and work and still daydreaming about other things at the same time!
OMG! I have been taking an "inventory" of my
DVDs and another funny movie I haven't watched in awhile is Airheads with Adam Sandler, Steve Buscemi, Brendan Fraser, and Chris Farley.


At least she's taking responsibility for it...

It's not the ideal situation, but I was having sex when I was 16, so I'm not going to judge her.  It could have happened to me.  Sadly, she will probably be a much better mom than her older sister!  My dog would probably be a better mom than Britney though, so that's not saying much.


I was not married when I had either of my children, and people judged me but oh well.  I am an excellent mother and a marriage certificate would not have made me a better mom.  I have been married for awhile now, but we waited over 4 years to get married, and that is our choice.  Gone are the days when people rushed off to get married because they were pregnant.  Sex before marriage has been around since the beginning of time.  We are just becoming more accepting of it now and don't demand people get married when they get pregnant.  I am personally glad our children will know we didn't get married because we "had to" but because we loved each other so much that we wanted to.


taking a guess...
Witches of Eastwick?
(has a Nicholson-type of sarcasm)


Not taking up for her, but apparently being
mentally challenged, to her it was like when you see someone you know and popping them on the shoulder to say hi. Granted, she actually hit instead of a pop, but take into consideration her mental condition. She was not meaning to hurt you and I am glad it was only a bruise and nothing more serious. Hopefully, mgmt knew her and her family and will get in touch with them.
Anyone taking Wellbutrin?
I've been on Prozac for a while now but don't like the side effects. Does anyone have any experience with Wellbutrin, good or bad?
It's a stat and someone is taking

advantage of your kindheartedness.  If your contract defines a stat as anything with ? hours or less TAT and you are asked to return these "regular" reports within the stat TAT, then you should be paid as stats.  Just because they weren't stats originally, doesn't mean they can turn them into 1 for you and not pay you. 


Perhaps, this will prompt them to reconsider some of their lazy employees/ICs. 


I want to thank you for taking the time to
answer my question so thoroughly and giving me good advice.
I wished I had such an understanding landlord like you, but I will try to talk my LL into lowering my rent in these difficult times.

I know that now is the best time to buy a house, I'll look also into this.

Thanks!

so what r u taking her to court for?

You didn't cosign for the vehicle.  You didn't loan her the $$ for her electric bill.  You didn't want any profit from the business.  The only thing I saw you mention was at the end about animal food, etc, but isn't that considered start-up costs of a business? 


Sorry, don't mean to make you madder, just confused.


Thanks for taking the time to research this!
Merry Christmas to you!
your referring to her not taking accountability and

learning from her actions in the past right?  thats good.  thank you.  


i get real nervous when it comes to confrontation. anxiety.


taking matters into your own hands
This is a social problem that does not look like it's going to change any time soon. I had a similar experience when my daughter was in the 4th grade. She's in college now... not promising huh?

Anyhow, I ended up moving 150 miles to a good school district in an affordable neighborhood. Sounds like an oxymoron, but I researched and did what I had to do.

I moved again when I realized the high school she was districted for had a very bad record, not to mention it was almost 2 times overpopulated.

I know this is not an option for most people, but since it was just the 2 of us and I worked for a national, it was the only thing to do.

Both moves were of huge benefit to her intellectualy and emotionally.

If I were you, I would strongly consider home-schooling or moving. Most kids are taught to read in preschool or kindergarten, so I'm assuming your school district must be extremely lacking if they didn't address her reading problem then.

I would also suggest you try to make your voice heard by writing your congressman. This is a political issue that seems to be just danced around at the expense of our children and the future of our country.

But if nothing else, PLEASE spend at least an hour a day on her reading. Take her to the library or book store and let her pick out books she likes so the process won't be such a chore for either of you. Try to make it fun and encourage her.

Sorry for going on so long, but really, the best thing you can do is just do it yourself asap. You can't wait for the government/school system to change.
Just in the last year started taking 1/2 of those
OTC sleep aids - I know, I know you are not supposed to take regulrly but gads!!  I have never slept so good - didn't even realize I was not sleeping well - now - age 54 sleeping like a baby every night and never get sleeping during the day, wake up perky - totally a different experience for me!
