If a client wanted to use templates, I'd tell them - sm
they can use templates as long as they stick to the templates. Anything more than very minor deviations, and their account would automatically go back to as-dictated.
AI New Format
I really don't like the new format at all. There were to many good guys to just cut it down to 1 guy. I really loved Alexis and I loved Danny, but I also liked quite a few of the guys. It'll be interesting to see who advances tonight.
Not real sure about the format this
year. Agree with you. I have loved Danny from day #1 and I really liked Anne Marie (I think that is her name, from Nashville, sang Natural Woman). Didn't understand them blasting her the way they did.
I've never been a fan of that kind of format myself.
This is not a reflection of anything that transpired of late.

The format here is just more expedient and comfortable for me. I don't spend a lot of time on message boards. I scan for info that I might need or help if I can. I just prefer a more simple format.

I'll probably visit/read only that site if I have time, but doubt I'll post.
Hair length
First let me say that I am appalled that some "neighbors" would have the audacity to tell you how to wear your hair.

Second, I just watched a segment on Today (Meredith leaves at 9:00 so I didn't get a chance to look at her hair) but they did a makeover on a woman that I would say is "retirement age" and the length was just above her shoulders and she looked fabulous.

Now adays we are always hearing "love your body", well that includes your hair. If your are happy and you are fortunate enough to have a hubby that cares enough to try to make you feel better, than more power to you.
length vs loss

Wear it as you want it and the heck with others. 


Just a warning, though -- The women on my mother's side of the family lose their hair.  My mother was BALD.  So I try to keep what I've got.  It's very fine, shoulder length in the front and longer in the back.  I look hideous when it is down.  I use a hinged thing (forget the name) or a scrunchie thing to keep it up out of the way but keep it loose, no pulling.  I can't go short because too much scalp shows.  At 56, it is still mostly chestnut with a little gray mixed in.  Never dye it, never use rollers, perms.  Nothing.  Let it dry by itself and only use dryer when I must.  Gotta save it and these things can harm it (or so I've been told/read).


I wrote this because in researching how to preserve your hair, it says that length pulls on the roots and in older women this causes hair loss so that's something to keep in mind.  If it gets much longer than this, I can feel a pull and out come the scissors.


I also wear it in a French twist in the back when I want to get dressed up with combs in an upsweep on either side of my face.  This is easy on the hair and draws attention upward with the combs and away from my falling face!  I also use only Castile soap (from pharmacy) on it.  That's all my great-grandmother used and she's the only one who had a full head of hair in old age.  I don't need a conditioner with this and it feels clean after I wash it and not coated or soapy.  It is bar soap and hard so a bar lasts a long, long time.  Costs about $3. 


 


Report length
The longer the better if it's by one of my favorites.
I think just watching her for any length of time,
say 2 or 3 minutes and you absolutely know something is not right. She appears on a shopping channel with her jewelry and anyone can watch and see. We don't have to have anyone tell us, just watching is enough.
A tea-length basic black dress?
What kind of company does your husband work for? Would that help in your decision? My opinion is you can't go wrong with black. Accessorize to make the dress "pop". Nicely of course. Congrats to your husband for his award.
Hair length and age input appreciated sm
I am what one would would call "retirement age" and a grandmother. I have always had very nice hair and keep it neat and clean. I still have most of my light brown color and highlight slightly every 3-4 mos. I use hot rollers or a roller set if I am going out or if I feel I need it. My stylist and most people tell me I have very beautiful hair. I let it grow to about the length of Meredith Viera's on the "Today" Show but I get remarks from a few neighborhood "cats,", i.e., "At your age, perhaps you should cut your hair." My husband loves my hair and hates when I cut more than an inch off and yet I feel sloppy and as though I am trying to look "younger than my stated age." My husband thinks the few women who say this to me are jealous and I am kind of on the fence as I feel perhaps I'm kidding myself. Anyone else have hair almost chin length in their older years? Don't be mean - it's just a little "girl talk" here, Sometimes it helps to talk it over with the girls. Just keeping the conversation light for a change and trying to grow old gracefully without disappointing my husband. I have had worse decisions to make in my life! Much worse! 
I think they start to become concerned when femur length is two standard deviations below normal

which equals about 5 weeks or 6 weeks behind in length.  And you said you were told something like 2 or 3 weeks behind.  I wouldn't worry.  You may just be having a small baby who may be a short person or maybe your dates are a little off.  There are so many variables in pregnancy.


Both my kids measured below the standard for femur length on ultrasound (about 2 weeks behind), but I'm 5 feet 2 inches and my ex-husband is 5 feet 4 inches, so my kids weren't going to be big.  My son always measured in the 5th percentile and was always of the smallest kid in his class.  Now at age 14, he's taller than his dad and is probably going to reach about 5 feet 9 inches!  My daughter is still in kindergarten and she is the smallest in her class and measures in the 5th percentile.  I've had doctors say things like "we need to watch his/her growth closely" blah, blah, blah.  I'm little, my ex is little, and consequently, my kids were little. 


Best advice, DON'T WORRY!  When you're pregnant there's a tendency to worry about every little thing!  I would suggest talking to the genetics doctor and going from there.  Do your own research and have questions ready when you go.


Good Luck!


Depends if it is long with pregnant pause um no. If it is long and juicy like an op YEP! Short ones

I had it during my pregnancy a long, long time ago. Husband

I think probably they did not have as much to put on special -
I bet that people are just not buying as much and they are having to mark it down before it ruins.

I don't think they ever threw it out - they just were able to sell it before it got old.
No, there is nothing really special about
Danny's voice and Danny in general. Very common. I have already forgotten his voice, I remember only his rock shrieks......
What brought him that far was only compassion for the death of his wife or girlfriend........
Well, isn't that just so SPECIAL.

20/20 had a special on E-Bay the other night,
warning about scam sellers - it was actually a repeat though they touted the show as new. On the test buys they ran, all the sellers who scammed them in one way or another had 98% or above feedback. The feedback means nothing, really, as there are lots of ways to remove it - i.e. paying for it to be removed, and also lots of feedback blackmail, where most buyers are too wimpy to leave a negative, as it means they will get one, too. So the feedback system is not valid at all.
I remember a 20/20 special about this...sm
I remember seeing something about this on 20/20 a couple of years back and just remember it's not always the best way to go. Doctors recommend it too fast without looking into other ways. There were women on 20/20 that wished they didn't have it done, can't remember all the reasons. Do tons of research before doing it. Good luck!
I do know a special needs trust will not

I remember seeing a special on these
odd animals many, many years ago. I was probably about 18. I found them quite upsetting, LOL. I have only seen anything about them one time since, and my impression the second time was that they were very small, like mice, instead of the larger rat-like creatures I was picturing the first time.
There are special chews that have
enzymes in them. They are sold along with the toothbrushes and toothpaste at the pet stores. You are using doggy toothpaste when you try to brush them, I assume. Even if you only get a few swipes of that enzyme paste on the teeth and feel like you aren't doing any good, it actually does make a difference, judging by the comments my vet made about my Misha's teeth. We did do it from a young age, but not often, and she would only tolerate a little bit. But she had great teeth for her age.

Another good way to keep plaque down is to use true raw bones and let them gnaw on those. They work pretty well also.

But I do see the most benefit from any attempt at brushing, and also of course when I've gotten them cleaned under anesthesia if they needed something else done.
There is something special about wintertime.

It's hard work getting things prepped for this weather...but when you come inside in at the end of a day--it's a good tired, a satisfied-feeling kinda tired.


Of course that specialness lasts about 48 hours (or at the first slip and fall on the ice) and then it is so not fun anymore!  Anyone down south wanna swap joints, er residences, with me for a few months or so during the winter, you know where to find me! 



Me too! I feel so special! (nm)

Thanks - they are running a special
It's for 11 pieces including brushes, video, etc. I'm starting a new job in a couple weeks and if I don't get it by then I'll check out WalMart.  Thanks for the tip.
There is a special place for them
The worst crimes committed are abuse to children and to animals. In the bible it does state that hurting or maiming an innocent animal is one of the worst sins, the first being abuse to children. These are innocent creatures who are here to help us and give us comfort and love. They never ask for anything, are always there for us and never complain. It sickens me to my stomach to hear of abuse to animals. When I was younger I had a dalmatian pup. He was outside one day, fenced in, and got out through a small place in the fence. Someone in our neighborhood saw him, hit him with their car, and left him to die. I was heartbroken and it took me a long time to get over it. I would not like to be the person that will have to stand before God in judgment when it comes it comes to abusing these blessed animals. Only a coward and a bully would commit such an act.
We did not do parties except on special
occasion birthdays, normally just took the kids to see their grandparents as they did want to see them on their birthday. However, it is your tradition and if your in-laws do not want to participate leave it up to them. Invite them and they can choose what to do. Don't change your traditions because they don't "approve."
There's a special collar
I bought mine at Petsmart or Petco. It has spikes on it that grip into the dog's neck. Sounds painful, but it WORKS. And my dog has never yelped, not even once, so I don't think it actually is painful (my dog is a yelper at the slightest amount of discomfort, like trying to wash out his ears).

Anyway, look in the collar aisle at Petco or Petsmart for it. It's around $10-15 and it will make your walks peaceful!

On 60 minutes I think it was
they did a story on diamonds once and had some identifying mark or word etched on a diamond they were using. You could only see it with a microscope I think, or maybe a jeweler's loop, but interestingly the jewelers who were switching the diamonds out were not aware of the mark until it was shown to them.
3 minutes? LOL!! (nm)

I saw that a few minutes ago...
isn't that just awful.
80 minutes
With medical transcription, I have found that 1 minute is approximately 10-12 lines on a 65 cpl basis.
Special recipe for frosting?
I need help with finding a recipe for frosting.  Years ago, I ate some wonderful cookies that had a frosting that was hard on the outside but soft on the inside.  I tried and tried to get the recipe but to no avail.  Can anyone help?
Easter is a really special time too. sm
daughters are a special blessing.
Did you watch special on them on PBS station?

Anyone ever been trustee of a Special Needs Trust?

I've been the trustee of my older sister now since 2001 when our mother died.  She is mentally retarded because she fried her brain on LSD and mescalin when she was a teenager, also is bipolar and on SSDI.  


She just called me to say she is on the edge of losing all of her benefits, including her state-funded housing, because her love toy went and blabbed to the housing authority that she was getting this "extra" money and it's a huge amount.  Well, it's not a huge amount by any means, not even $40,000 to last her lifetime.  I'm sure she and her benefits are protected via the whole category of "Special Needs Trust" but to say my blood pressure is up is an understatement of the decade. 


I just want to drive 8 hours to smack the sh*t out of her and her G-spot Johnny (did I mention she's also hypersexual?!) boy toy.  Now, I'm not a violent person, but the attorney told me that the government could also come after me if they feel there has been any sort of fraud here.  I'm not the one that did drugs, yet for some reason this responsibility was tossed in my lap.  Hmmm...could be that whole atheist thing and this is mom's retribution. 


So, anyone know anything about Special Needs Trusts I should be particularly concerned about?


Oprah just had a special on the other woman....
and found it very interesting to hear from these women who had affairs with married men. Only one of the 4 women was still with a married man, while the others ended it. The psychologist on there asked her what was it in her childhood that brought her to this point in her life to feel like she didn't deserve better. You deserve better. Your child deserves better. His wife deserves better. They also said how the men tell you what you need to hear...they know what you need to hear, so he's not real. He could also be saying the same things to another woman at the same time, or maybe not, you never know. Please don't feel sad...get out now and meet the man of your dreams. He's out there waiting for you, but you're not available to him yet. You deserve more. Your child deserves more.
Has anyone bought the special toothbrushes...

Okay, way off the wall and out there.  Have any of you bought the fancy toothbrushes they try to sell you at the dentist's office?  Mine in particular is pushing Rota-dent.  I REALLY want the results, etc., but $120.00?  Is it really any different than the electric spin brush you get off the drugstore shelf? 


 


I'm going in tomorrow to start some extensive and expensive dental work, and I want to take the best care I can, but again, is it worth $120.00 or should I just stop by Walmart on my way home?


They look pretty, I wear them, if I am going somewhere special.
To make them look real, I stole an idea from Marilyn Monroe. I cut the lashes in half and then I use the resulting minilashes and put them starting from mideye to the edge of my eye nearest the ear. Be careful just to put a little glue. Then, you can put eye liner over it. I have very blonde (almost platinum) hair and eyebrows, so it can't be heavy handed. Also if you use the half lashes, you can put a light color like cream under your eye brow arch and on the lid, with a bit of brown in the crease. Blend it together and it will look glamorous yet natural. Only you will know, because it looks like a lot of mascara on the edge, or you are blessed with long eyelashes! Have fun with it. I do.
Your cabin sounds so special
I love where I live because I do have animals around. Some deer were standing close by my home when I started out the other morning, a bunny ran across the road the other evening and I told my husband my home is magical. Coming home the other night I could have sworn the moon was sitting right behind my home so big and bright. I have loads of birds and squirrels and I feed those.
Just typed this a few minutes ago...

She has not ever committed suicide, but it is on her mind.


Good grief!


On Fox news just a few minutes ago sm
Man upset with his supervisor and shooted him.  LOL--poor grammer for the whole world to see right on national TV.  What is this world coming to?

What about the man with his theory of cancer? I think it's worth a try.

I use a TracFone. I pay only for the minutes I use. sm
I have a landline and DSL that costs me $70 a month. I need the landline for my computer. I am not too trusting of the Skype, Vonage, etc. You lose your power, you lose your phone.

That said, I use TracFone. It is probably one of the first ones made as I can't take pics, or 2-way, or do any of the fancy stuff. However, I have never had it let me down by not having any coverage and the calls are always clear as a bell. I would get another cell plan with more bells and whistles, but I just can't see being tied to a 2 year contract with hefty penalties for early termination.

TracFone also has some awesome deals on minutes, phones with lots of features, etc. The nice thing about a TracFone is that if you run out of minutes, you don't lose your phone number. And they also have coupon codes you can use to get extra minutes, or an extra phone, etc.

I caught about the last 15 or 20 minutes. Can't hardly
wait until next week.  Maybe House and Cuddy will finally get together. 
How long is too long to wait for Pap results?
This is a follow up Pap for an abnormal one a few months back.  I have waited for the results for over a month and have called the office once.  Any advised about being a patient patient - LOL.  Its hard when your in this business, I think anyway, not to be more aggressive about stuff like this.
It's always crowded but more so on special shopping days. nm
