From the behavior you describe... sm
And the fact that you said he's old, it sounds to me like this guy is senile or has other mental problems going on. BUT, I think it would be a mistake to assume he isn't dangerous just because he's a little old guy who seems a little off. I also think you should notify the local police about him. He might be a danger to himself, if not others. If nothing else, he's a nuisance and should be reported.
I'm also someone who has all doors and windows locked at all times, and I don't open the door to strangers. Sometimes I do feel like I'm a little bit paranoid, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. I also have the car doors locked when I'm driving anywhere.
I'm amazed that anyone leaves doors and/or windows unlocked, but I know it happens. My mother-in-law and father-in-law, for example? OMG. They never lock their doors! They live in a small mobile home park for seniors, in a small-ish town, and my MIL feels like it's safe. What really kills me is, she doesn't lock their doors at night, and she takes out her hearing aids to sleep, so she wouldn't even hear anything if someone did come in their home at night! She says "Oh we have great neighbors. Everyone watches out for each other." What?! Crazy. And this is a woman who loves to read true crime novels and watches court TV and knows about the things that can happen. She worked as a legal secretary for decades and is very intelligent in all areas but this one. I just can't understand it. They don't live near us, but when we go to visit, I go around and lock all the doors at night. Otherwise, I'd never get to sleep!
As a side note, there is an excellent book called 'The Gift of Fear' by Gavin DeBecker. I highly, highly recommend it to all women. Get a copy today! I also like a show on the Discovery Channel called 'It Takes a Thief.' It's very enlightening about just how easy it is for criminals to break into most homes.
That's my 2 cents. Stay safe, ladies! :o)
Still seems horrible, especially when you describe
a paddle with holes?! What's the point of that other to completely scare a child? With a piece of wood? I don't understand. I'm so sorry you went through that. It seems totally unfair and, well, abusive. I hope you didn't suffer permanent damage, even damage you don't know about. Are you scared of authority figures, or of men? Or of someone coming at you with something in their hands?
I'm not being funny, I'm completely serious.
Well, it's quite unique and very hard to describe, - sm
but I'll try. It happens out in the middle of nowhere in the Nevada high desert, northeast of a town called Gerlach. For one week a year, what is normally a totally devoid-of-all life, ancient lake bed ('playa') is turned into a temporary city known as 'Black Rock City'.
It is basically a festival of art and free expression. A community is born where no money is used - all transactions (other than ice and coffee) are either trades or gifts. People build totally amazing art pieces, building, vehicles, etc. out on the desert floor. It's a photographer's dream come true, but one rule is that no photos taken can be sold for profit. Clothing is anything from amazingly elaborate to nonexistent, but the imporant thing is outlandishness. 'Playa fashion' tends to include lots of fuzzy fake-fur leggings, goggles (for dust-storms, among other things), tutus, stilts, face and/or body paint, frilly, brightly-colored square-dance petticoats worn as outerwear, etc. etc.
There are many themed 'camps' throughout the playa community. The more bizarre, the better. There are things like Giant Chess Camp, Neon Camp, you name it and there's a camp for it. My friends will construct the 'Black Rock Roller Disco', which has become such a favorite that it's located in the center of the city in 'Center Camp'. They bring rental skates and put down a wooden outdoor roller rink, and you can boogie to the disco beat for 24 hours a day.
As the 'city' is a couple miles across, bikes are a MUST for transportation around 'town'. Everyone brings their worst bikes, as the fine, slightly alkaline dust out there gets into everything, and is not good for expensive bikes. People tend to decorate the bikes as outlandishly as they do themselves. Many seem to have dolls, stuffed animals, horse or unicorn heads attached to the front. (I was at a yard sale last weekend and saw a rather unique 'Mermaid' doll that would've been PERFECT for use as a 'maidenhead' on the front of a bike!)
Motorized vehicles aren't allowed to drive through 'town', unless they are 'Art Cars' that have been registered through the Black Rock City DMV ('Department of Mutant Vehicles'). Decorated Art-Cars roll slowly across the desert - many are as big as ships (or even ARE ships), and have many people riding them. My favorite (seen in videos & photos of B.M.) was a humongous dragon-car that actually had 40-foot flames coming out of its mouth!
Fire is a BIG part of Burning Man. Many of the art projects involve fire. (One of many reasons why the festival is held out in the desert, and not in a forest!) One of my favorites at a Burning Man party in S.F. a couple years ago was an ORGAN that when the keyboard was played, the notes were produced by FIRE roaring up through a multitude of different-length pipes fed by propane. Other art sculptures move when the fire is turned on. So obviously the whole thing is quite a spectacle at night!
'Burning Man' gets its name from the end of the festival. At the beginning, huge wooden man-like sculpture is built. It's the symbol of the festival, and on the last night, it's set on fire and burned.
This festival originated on Baker Beach in San Francisco (haha...where else?), and after a few years grew too big for that small beach, so was moved to Nevada.
The best way to see the amazing photos and read more about what it's like is to go to their website (burningman.com). Look in the Photo Gallery to be amazed at some of the incredible photography. (Also a great place to go in order to get unique ideas for Halloween costumes!) The site is quite addicting!
If I were more of a camping-person, and if I felt I could spend a week there without going into total sensory overload, I'd be there in a heartbeat. But, maybe someday when I'm a little older and hopefully a lot more mellow......
What you describe is beautiful! Every child should have the opportunity
to grow up in such an environment, and also grandmothers.
It's all about love and compromising.
Did you ever wonder what terminology was used to describe an introitus that wasn't so marital???
I'll probably get banned for this..."whorital introitus" or "premarital introitus"?
Sorry I'm so hap slappy, I worked all night and am getting ready to go to bed. Good mornin!
After the 2 weeks I have had with my buyer I would recommend you file a dispute as a not as describe
My seller took 35 days to finally mail, sent me invalid UPS tracking number, package was 6 books short and books were in deplorable condition and I filed a 'not received' too early cuz then he mailed and now I cannot file 'not as described' as you can only file one complaint per purchase.... so I'm screwed unless he agrees to accept return.... but thinking he will probably take my money, the books and run - only 25 feedback so new seller... I'm talking with Paypal now and may file with my credit card company next week - not quite sure I understand chargeback programyet
Can you describe the scrunch you do. Do you mean pull your toes and ball up your foot or what. nm

Ditto - but add arrogant and evil to the list of adjectives to describe this loser

Someone here got her mad and she feels the need to get

Glad to know not the only 1 who feels like this.

Feels good
I registered for fall classes and shopped for the special calculator for my math class. I start back to school, just a couple of classes, on 08/22/07. It's weird to think about being a student again, but good to know this is the rope I need to make changes in the future.
This is the tax-free weekend in my State for school supplies. I'm hoping that will be true for ordering my books. Don't see why it wouldn't.
You have NO idea what 60 feels like sm
but actually it feels a lot like 40. so you must feel like 20. It' ALL good.
Feels like fall
There's a nip in the air today and a cool breeze with a hint of the smell of apples. I have a tart warmer burning that smells like pumpkin pie all through the house, yum. I love this time of year in the Northeast. Can't wait for the leaves to start changing color. 
See, my own mother probably feels like you (sm)
She gets the short end of the stick every holiday - she does live 8 hours away though. It is the opposite here - I have been practically forced to give up my side of the family for his.
I like the way it feels when i'm hungry

Does her daughter know how she feels?
If her daughter doesn't see that this guy is an immature moron she's in trouble. Hope they never have kids together.
I would say that she feels you are the safest
and most trustworthy home in the neighborhood. She needed a safe place, and I'm sure the car smelled like you, which gives you a head up that you are the special-est one in her opinion. Honor and respect go a long way in the mind of a cat seeking security.
If the owner feels their being there could cause a problem

Dont tell him you know how he feels. You don't. Situation

Iowa feels like fall too!
I just am not really thrilled for the thing that follows fall. I hate hate hate hate hate hate winter.
We were in the 40s temperature wise this morning. I have my portable heater toasting my toes when I work!
Whoever said abortion feels good? nm

I lost a baby at 16 weeks. No one knows how it feels until they have gone through it.
It is a child you will never hold in your arms but you will forever hold them in your heart. My husband and I talked to our priest when I was having such a rough time. That really helped - because he said all those little souls are up in heaven with Jesus. Time really does help.
I know exactly how it feels. After Dad passed away, Mom came to live with me permanently.
I have 2 sons, one almost 21 and the other 8 y.o. and I can tell you it is not easy. Some may remember in the old days how some parents would keep their kids in check by scaring the living daylights out of them by telling them stories such as the boogy man, demons, etc. My Mom tried that several times and I did put my foot down, and respectfully but firmly told her that I didn't want her to do this. My 8 y.o. also likes to play with me like yours do, and he did try that with Mom one time and I got the same results, "he hit me, your son is disrespectful." I also told my little one not to "play" with Grandma like he does with me, especially in view of the fact that she does have severe varicose veins all throughout her legs (he calls them the worms on Grandma's legs, but of course never to her face). She also goes about the fat tummy, etc. I told her also nicely that those kind of comments even though not meant to degrade, children perceive them very differently than adults. It has boiled down to the point, that my sons basically doesn't interact much with her. I understand that as the "oldest" in the house, Mom feels she knows how the house should be "run" and what she says is the "law" but she also has to understand that she has come into a "new family." Yes, I'm still her daughter and will always love and respect her, and do everything I can for her. There is just isn't and easy solution. If you tell the children not to interact too much, then they take it as the kids don't like them or your turning the kids againt them. If the children get too friendly, then they are disrepectful and have no manners. Just take it a day at a time, big breaths, inhale and exhale.
Let me clarify...I don't sit around in my pj's all day. It makes me feels sluggish, but you ca
bet I will not be wearing what I would wear to an interview. Makes no sense.
Well, the former welfare recipient has her millions now & feels
regardless if it adversely affects children. She knows full well that her books are read by children. Since she has opted to make such a poor decision, I am opting to make a good decision and no longer purchase her books, watch her movies, or buy any products related to her books as she gets a cut on everything. It's one thing to have a personal opinion about homosexuality, but she didn't have to publicly link it to a character in her books.
LOL. I hear ya! They're $3.50 here, but box feels lighter! NM

Seriously, really, anyone have something that feels like bugs crawling inside their head
My husband, who is of very sound mind and no, not any psychiatric problems, got both feet on the ground, has told me to find a neurologist (another physician told him to do this). Hubs drive a truck and he has been telling me the strangest feelings, almost worm-like feeling that sorta snakes down 1 side, he rubs intensely and gets it to stop (I think) and then sometimes can be on the other side. Has anyone ever heard of something similar or have you had yourself. I am making him an appointment today but this is not the ordinary thing I type even though been at this for quite some time with the 4s. Thanks.
I'm not working either; it's a good thing, since my thumb feels like it will soon fall off - n
