Okay, Christmas is next week. Our guys....they burp, they change the channels on the TV faster than we can figure out what is on, and other too numerous to count obnoxious guy behaviors, but what is good about them? What do we love about them?
As for me...in my darkest hour, he was my friend.
Merry Christmas!

Survey
How many of you get up and get dressed like a normal job?
I am in a rut. I crawl out of bed about 15 minutes before work every morning. Enough time to make breakfast basically. I work a split shift so after 4 hours I'm done, take my shower, etc. Just wondering if this is the normal routine an MT falls in.
Vet survey
How much do you pay to take your dog in to get their shots? Do you buy heart worm medicine from them or a mail order company?
Well, lets see, I was born in
1943 so I think probably around before most on these posts and lived through a myriad of history and information. What I said was if Merck did not make the profits, another drug company would. That is all. Millions, trillions made all the time on drugs. I am sure all pharmaceutical companies lobby for their drugs. If not 1 drug company, just will be another. I have no children that would require this and I do not live in Texas but if they are going to be mandatory in Texas, probably coming your way before long.
Lets see if this is as long as I think it is - sm
3rd grade - Eddie Milton (my first crush)
9th grade - Bryan Rowden ( 9 months)

After graduation -
Bill Schatzman 2.5 months (summer before college)
Denis Sweeney - 2 years (first and second year of college)
Took a break from guys the rest of college-2 years-and concentrated on grades.
After college:

Chris Nicholson (3 months)

--- what is weird is in my HS years I broke up with most of the guys, but after that just about every guy I went out with cheated and hence the break-up. Oh well.

Tattoo Survey!
Where do you have your tattoo and how big is it? I have decided after many years of wanting a tattoo that this summer for my 40th, I am going to finally treat myself! Husband and I are having a difference of opinion though on where I should have it (I'm thinking lower back or back of shoulder - he says he doesn't like those and thinks it should be my hip)...
and lets not forget
 Beauty is as beauty does.
A survey. See inside
Just wondering - those of you who have 16/17 year old children, what are your rules on going out during the week, other than sports or work. I let my teen go out "socially" on Friday and Saturday night. During the week I feel should be dedicated to school and her part-time job and I'm okay with maybe going for coffee in the afternoon if there is time, or maybe even dinner, but not all the time and don't feel she should be out at night. Especially now that days are shorter and we're headed towards winter.
Just wondering how everyone else does it with their teens.
You could always lets her knock it over once - sm
ours did that when she was about 9 months old, now never messes with it. She likes to lie under the tree but does not mess with a thing. But we do have a cat that is more like a dog though, sleeps at my feet in bed, only scratches on her scratching post, comes over when she wants to be petted or held, is just a good cat. Her only real flaw is her puking, she pukes at least once a week, usually on the carpet. If she could contain it to the tile floors I would care less but she has a nasty habit of doing it anywhere and usually on the carpet. I do give her the hairball stuff (which I have to sneak and just put it on her paw (top side) so she has to lick it off) which helps a lot with that, still aggravating. It is funny to see her laying under the tree, usually behind the nativity we have, hovering over it like a big sphinx.
Survey: Where do you set your thermostat? Here is why I ask...
I keep my house at 70, but I am looking at what is "usual and normal" because I think I am off here. Looking for opinions...
I am so cold all the time. I am fine if I am up cleaning the house or out shopping and walking, moving in some way. You know, we sit all the time and work, which is when I am having my problem. I sit at my desk in long underwear, sweats and 2 pair of socks. I often tie scarves or an old flannel receiving blanket on my head (okay, I am short on stuff and this works) to keep the heat in my body. I have a space heater by my feet. I drink hot tea or coffee all day long. I am STILL cold!!!!
I keep my thermostat at 70. I have a mobile home, but it has extra insulation and keeping it at 70, my highest gas bill for heat was only $100 last year. I feel badly that I keep it that high, but perhaps I am not thinking this through. You don't use a setback thermostat with a mobile home because you risk freezing your pipes, and it has an odd way of holding heat anyway.
Lets just say I am well read
I did not list all that I read, just some. I am older female, no cooking here, no children around to take spots out of clothing, know how to keep my husband satisfied so no need to read that. You would be so lucky to have my life, don’t be a hater as my daughter says.
Rant about survey takers. sm
My electric bill is sky high, so I called the electric company to obtain a free survey and to ask questions to help lower the bill. A nice gentleman came to my home and offered good advice.
Today, I received a phone call asking about my experience with their service. I was happy with the service and told them that, however, it was a survey taker and every minute portion of my experience from requesting this service to practically what the guy was wearing was asked of me. I was on the phone for ten minutes, asking when this survey would end, and she said a few more questions, until it was 15 minutes and I hung up on her. I told her several times I was working and could not speak for long. I just needed to rant.
I don't meet the survey target , but
my two boys had a 10:00 p.m. curfew on school nights when they were 16. Curfew was 11:00 on weekends, unless something special was happening. I was told I was absolutely barbaric for setting such early times. My kids didn't tell me that. Other parents did. Not that I cared, mind you.
Each son proved himself to be trustworthy and responsible, and so the day they turned 18, all curfews were lifted. I only asked as a matter of courtesy that they tell me where they were going and give me an approximate time to expect them home so that I knew when to officially start worrying. They didn't have to tell me, but I asked them to tell me, which they did. In fact, for the first week or so after they turned 18 they'd ask me for permission to do something or go somewhere, and I'd reply, "Why are you asking me? You're an adult!" LOL!
They are 18 and 20 now, and doing just fine. The 18 year-old is commuting to a university in our city. He refers to us as his college roommates.
Lets all get together and weep for this woman
You might have heard about the mother who had her young child write an essay to win Hanna Montana tickets- wrote that her father died this year in the service and the scam was found out. Now the mother that did this deed is on complaining that she has had to move from her apartment, cannot use her Mytube site, threats against her, etc., etc. Oh my heart just bleeds..... NOT.
anonymous herpes survey - sm
How common do you think it is? I think it is very, very common. Statistics show it affects about 1 in 3 people. Do you know anyone who has it? (self included?)
I know a few people who have it.
Well lets see, I have worked for this same place now
for 18 years, the last 5 for a company and what raise?? I thought we just typed faster.
A survey on CNN favored Obama

that is the scary thing - lets face it -
I have lived well over half my life and reading the obituaries (I have no idea why I do this) I see younger and younger people - 50s, early 60s - dying all the time. What my daughter apparently doesn't realize is that I might not have 10 years left - actually she should - a 52-year-old woman that worked with her father-in-law recently collapsed at work - died later at hospital of AAA - very little symptoms.
Yeah, she lets pans sit overnight from cooking
sandwiches or eggs and then uses them the next morning to cook the same or she will just wipe them out with a paper towel and call them clean...no way! When she lived with us, I would have to get to them before she had a chance to use them the next morning on the kids before I got up!
survey on sixteen year old girl curfews - sm
Just taking a survey from all you parents of 16 yo girls out there...what is your curfew for your teen? Do you let her go out during the school week? If so, how often and what time does she need to be back? What about Friday and Saturday nights? Thanks for participating.
But, lets bottom line this, being as married to the most powerful man in the US
I let her slide in her clothes, shoes, etc. She has a tall brother, therefore maybe her father tall, don’t know about her mother. She carries a lot of clout, no matter how she dresses, wears, her height, and on and on. Don’t hate on the First Lady.
Agreed! Hear, hear...amen, sister!

Did not hear about the porn but did hear
there might be a conflict about her babies going home with her when they were able to be dismissed. You can hardly blame anyone for questioning how she will take care of them. From what I have seen, she hardly seems stable enough to do that.
Lets test the one giving the drug test, and (see message)
Lets make people who need to buy groceries take drug tests. Want to go to McDonalds? Hey need to take a drug test first. Need to renew your car registration - take a drug test. Want to go to a movie, better take a drug test. When will the insanity stop.
I hear ya........

Look - I know this is probably not what you want to hear, but
I speak from experience - and many advice experts will say the same thing - if a man is interested in you, he will ask YOU out. Just like if you go out with a man and at the end of the night you ask him to come into your home, and he doesn't - then he's not that into it. It doesn't matter what he has going on in his life, men make time for women they are interested in! They are never that busy that they cannot call you - that's just a lie. They make the time to talk for one minute because THEY ARE INTO YOU!! If you have to ask a man out, think about it - what was wrong with him?? WHy couldn't he approach you? He knows how to open his mouth and say "hey, I don't know if you're single or seeing someone, but I was wondering if you .... "
Don't ask him out. Let him pursue you. It's old fashioned, but hey, it still holds true.
I am so sorry to hear that. It does cause
actual physical pain to lose a special pet. I have wished I could cut my heart out to end it, or be PTS alongside my poor dog. What a shock to lose such a young cat. I am sorry.
sorry to hear that, don't know what to say...sm
Sorry to hear this happened to you, don't know what to say, but this has never happened to me, and both my CPA and the other person, a corporate estate tax person, say that I'm legal and nobody has come after me or notified me that I am in the wrong....
I hear what you are saying
Personally, the wrinkles start showing in my face if I am too thin. I need a little weight on my to look good...unfortunately, it is all on my hips and glutes...LOL
You are what you eat, so I hear
and if a person wants to be a supersized so be it. Got off Cokes on my own after marrying my hubby, used to drink loads of those and I never feel like I am not living by the way I eat because I also love sweets and if I want I have them. I just don't care for any of my foods supersized, be it a drink or a hamburger, just too much to consume for me and the amount of calories you get plus the fact of it just not being that healthy for you. I would put my delicious food up against any fast (fat) food place any ole day. I just like taste with my food.
So sorry to hear that....
Our cat is getting older now, and I hope she lives forever, but.... I'm so sorry for your loss! It is truly a loss to lose a much-loved pet! Take care... my thoughts are with you today.... 
I am so sorry to hear you are going through this.
But with her compression fractures, and probably the COPD also, there was no way the MDs could have coded her. Her bones (and probably lungs) wouldn't take it. At least that's what they told my grandfather about my grandmother when she had leukemia. He found out the doctors made her DNR without talking to him, and he found out after she passed away.
Now hear this.....
Just called the courts and on my way there now to swear out warrant for arrest of the person writing the bad check. Talk with you later.
I hear ya
This situation sounds a little iffy to me, too. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck....
Sorry to hear this
about your new tile floors honey bear. That is too bad. It is very frustrating!
I want to hear...
.. the end of this story.. The AUDACITY is appalling...
I hear ya
I feel the same way - I'm not really close to anybody outside of my husband/children/parents (which is my choice) and this was kind of a big step for me to hang out with an old friend which is why it is so disappointing. I have huge trust issues with friends and this is just another instance where I kinda feel like I'm getting shafted.
I also don't feel comfortable taking my children around a new boyfriend (they have known each other a couple of weeks) who I don't know anything about.
Thank you for replying and I'm very sure you are not repulsive! Like you said, a lot of people are just so selfish nowadays and those of us who actually consider others feelings before doing things are the ones who get hurt.
Sorry to hear that
hope you are able to work things out.
I am curious to know the name of the restaurant that you wanted to visit.
I hear you!
I seem to have more and more of those days as I grow older lately. Good thing the caffeine doesn't affect my sleep, though.
If I hear same one over and over, that will do

I'm sorry to hear about your FIL.
Maybe this article will be helpful.

Sorry to hear about Arf . . .
I've visited your web site before (very cool site, BTW!) and all of your animals look so happy there. Arf is a beautiful cat, and it's good to know he's got a mom like you to love him, especially right now. Hope this transition is smooth and painless for both of you. 
Sorry to hear about your cat
You are right about them wanting to go away and die, though. My cat, who was mostly and indoor cat, would go outside for years and never step foot near the road. Always stayed in the yard and "hunted". Once she got sick, she started acting strange and one day, meowed at the door to go out and went straight into the road and got hit by a car. It was almost like she wanted it to end quickly...
It's hard to lose a pet - hugs to you!
