one of the posters put up an ABC link and I read (after I posted) that she did, indeed, check in and check right out over at Eric Clapton's Crossroads rehab place in Antigua.........
she's stupid not to take advantage of this lifesaver and go through rehab............
but it's all about choices, now isn't it?....she has never seemed to be the brightest bulb......eh?

The Meaning of R.S.V.P.
Let's Clear Up the Confusion
I hope that this week's tip will benefit hosts and guests alike, because there seems to be a lot of confusion about the meaning of the above term.
Lack of RSVP's - A Growing Problem
I hear more and more often, and have found in my personal experience, that hosts often do not receive firm indications whether guests plan to attend their parties, even if R.S.V.P. is clearly printed on the invitation. This could mean either one of two things. First it could mean that rudeness is a growing trend in our society. Or, as I would prefer to believe, people no longer understand what the term means. Assuming the best, and that the decline in R.S.V.P.'s can be attributed to ignorance and not rudeness, I will clarify this for the record.
What RSVP Means
The term R.S.V.P. comes from the French expression "répondez s'il vous plaît", meaning "please respond". If R.S.V.P. is written on an invitation it means the invited guest must tell the host whether or not they plan to attend the party. It does not mean to respond only if you're coming, and it does not mean respond only if you're not coming (the expression "regrets only" is reserved for that instance). It means the host needs a definite head count for the planned event, and needs it by the date specified on the invitation.
Why It's Inconsiderate to Not RSVP
An incomplete list of respondents can cause numerous problems for a host including difficulty in planning food quantities, issues relating to minimum guarantees with catering halls, uncertainty over the number of party favors and difficulties in planning appropriate seating, among other things.
So the next time you see R.S.V.P. on an invitation you receive, please call your host and respond promptly.
sorry Mrs. R. I posted above before I read this post.
You are absolutely correct.
Sorry -did not read yours til after I posted - great idea btw - LOL! nm
:-)
I would read the "declawing.com" link posted above.
.
deenie, I posted above before I read your post
It seems like basically we are both thinking the same thing. I have a daughter who is 16 and there is no way that she is mature enough to make that decision.
I posted before I read your comment,, exactly my case!..
I think that a lot of men live only for today and thinhk only to the tip of their nose.
I am also saying, 'for you everything is ok, because YOU are married to ME, but...!'
If I don't read before I go to sleep I can't fall asleep. I will read sm
until I begin to fall asleep. They say reading relaxes you fully and it works wonders for me.
I used to suffer from insomnia, but not since I've been doing this - about 5 years now.
Plus, I've grown so much and have gained wisdom by doing so. I enjoy Christian books and reading the Bible.
I posted on this before regarding
confronting parents about their children. This was exactly what I was talking about, the mother took up for her child (as most do now days regardless)and I, for 1, would not anticipate with love, praising, letting him work for you, etc., etc. that this will change him at all. You know what you faced with his mother and I would put some distance between my child and him. When raising my children, if a parent came to me telling me my child had done something wrong, you better believe I would listen and probably believe that person BEFORE my child. The reason is, most times parents are not going to take their time to come and face you directly about a child's behavior. I never ever thought just because they were my children, they were always in the right, never but times have changed. I would not confront, I would not try to change, I would distance.

I have posted this before but not sure if sm
it was this board. I remember the first time Nu-Victoria saw JT when she returned from Italy. It was at the hospital when Brittany's baby was being kidnapped. I saw the sparks flying when she said his name. I thought then they should get together.
I posted this further down sm
Kristen Rose, my daughter's name. My mother, my daughter, and I all share the same middle name "Rose" and my daughter has already said she wants to carry on the tradition. I would like to add my 2 cents about different spellings. It seems that so many people want to change the original spelling of a name just to be different. My name was spelled wrong on my birth certificate "Tereasa" and my mother left it that way. You can never find anything personalized spelled that way. It was always spelled wrong in yearbooks, programs for ballgames, etc. My mother typed my wedding announcement and when the newspaper recieved it they called to see if the spelling was correct. I find it a big hassel. JMO
at least I think it's you they posted to...LOL..nm
I posted below sm
and the read the above post. I agree with most everything but you can certainly work with the child if he will be confused about the name change. Our situation did involve adoption, my little (step)brother was 5 when my father adopted him. Becuase the adoption was not final when he started kindergarten he was taught how to spell and write his original name for the first 4 weeks of school and then it changed. Due to the fact that he never had a father figure and he always wanted a big family (instant older sister and brother) he had no problem with the name change. Depends on so many factors. I feel you will make the right decision for you and your child or else you wouldn't care enough to get other opinsions. Good Luck.
Posted this a while ago and..
only got a couple of responses which were regarding his name and how he should change it. Get past the name and take a look at the clip.
Yes the man has an incredible voice, but it is humbleness and the Cinderella story that brings tears.
Thanks! I will keep you posted! nmx

that I also bought my dogs from a petstore and that I had no idea how horrible the puppy mills were at the time. I just held one of my dogs today and cried thinking about his mother. I won't even buy bird food (I have 2 birds) from a pet store. My son watched the show with me and did ask where can the pet stores get their dogs from. I honestly don't know. Can they go to private breeders? Sorry if I seem dumb, it truely is ignorance on my part, just like my ignorance about puppy mills until recently.

Enquiring minds want to know....Let us know how things turn out. I hope everything works out well.
How I posted the pic ......... (sm)
I WANT to see 'Tornado Alley' desks! hahahahaha!
I found posting a pic to be really easy. (The photo will work best if it's in jpg. format). (In order to get these instructions right, I've posted a photo I took in Santa Fe recently.)
Assuming you've already taken a pic of your desk, and it's saved in a photo file on your computer, just:
1) After the 'Post Image' box below the subject box of your post on MT Stars, click on 'Click here to Upload Image!'
2) When the next window comes up, click on the 'Browse' button to bring up a list of your computer files.
3) Find your photo (for example, to find mine, I click on Documents, then My Pictures, and then the photo).
4) Click on the photo you've selected, the the name of it will appear in the 'Select Image' box. Click on 'Open'.
5) Click on 'Submit'.
6) The picture will appear, and then click on 'Continue', which should bring you back to the text of your post. Then go ahead and post as usual.
Hope that helps. Show us that MESSY DESK! ;D
That's why I posted
There are girls who are getting sick from this. All I would like is for everyone to research this thoroughly before doing it, and please don't only read the docs articles. Of course they are going to say everyone should have it. Guess who pays them bonuses.
As for the lady who said in GA its required. I'd move out of that state before I let the government tell me what I should or should not have done medically.
Please just don't buy into the hype of it and question, question, question before thinking about it.
PS: (Im the one who posted below that she's
surprise to hear from her this morning that she's coming out to California for the rest of the weekend! Looks like just for once, I'm having a good-kharma day!
Yes, I am the one that posted
about this weeks ago. This cat is a beautiful calico. I need to take a picture of it and upload it sometimes.
when she first posted
her first post said the sister had to move out because he kept coming on to her - so I thought she must have been about 18 or so - but then she said she was young - a child - so why would such a young child be moving out - or even living there in the first place?
I have posted about him but not about this...nm
aa
Oh no, it's still posted..............nm
nm
Yes, I am the same Jan, who posted about
the Gray (Gy), several times.
Yes, anon, in this case, you are right, Gy is a unit of measure. But your explanation that you posted was not so clear.
My explanation was better.
posted this before
I posted before how my son's ex-girlfriend from over a year ago is making his high school dating life non-existent with the girl who asked him to sadie hawkins "changing her mind" at the last minute because of this ex-girlfriend's very persuasive sabotage.
Now he does not want a 16th b-day party because he is afraid she will screw it up by keeping other girls from showing up, etc.
This girl has already moved on and has a new boyfriend, but won't let the revenge thing for my son go.
On the one hand I am relieved that he now knows the earmarks of a psychopath and hopefully will not marry one...ever,
but on the other hand it makes me sick anyone can ruin someones 16th birthday.
Wow! Can't believe you posted this.
For the last few weeks, I've been staggering, running into walls and almost fell down the steps.
I had to go to the hospital today to renew my CICP (a health plan offered to the indigent) and they saw how I was walking and got a wheelchair. On the way back, I managed to walk (barely), but when they saw me coming to get my daughter's car, they told me to sit down and asked if I'd like a glass of water. I said yes. So someone showed up with a glass of water, followed by a nurse with some apple juice, who tried to get me to go to the emergency room. I declined.
She did ask me, though, if I was diabetic, which I'm not (yet). My doc said that once my pancreas is completely destroyed, I can expect to get diabetes.
Another thing: Does your husband find his vision is declining, becoming blurry? (Mine has been and during the same time frame.)Does he seem to lose his train of thought and have trouble concentrating?
Sounds like he might need a full physical because surely doesn't sound right.
Best of luck. It's probably nothing, but a checkup couldn't hurt.

eek sorry if I posted a bad site (m)
I was just googling for jewish actors and saw that site had a list that might be helpful for the OP to find who she was looking for. I did see the statement it was not a hate site and didn't really look at anything else on it.
Did not mean to offend anyone.
I posted a link for you....sm
Go to foodtv.com and search on blue crabs. Bobby Flay has a great recipe.
Do keep us posted as to his whereabouts!
Last I remember, he was watching you perched on top your computer. 
I actually posted the message above
I totally agree with you. I found it strange that I go to read another post regarding this matter, and your sentiments are mine exactly. Breastfeeding is not for everyone, and that is why the formula companies have made so many different great canned formula that children can have and thrive. So many children are starved and have problems because breastfeeding is not being done properly. I'm not sure I even like "feeding into" this post, but it needs to be said.
I posted the question because...
some people are not sure how they feel about it, and I think that is the reason we have inadequate laws to keep these criminals behind bars. We need to let our lawmakers know that we want STRICTER SENTENCES for rapists and child molesters. I believe life sentences are in order, but many serve little or NO jail time, and that is an outrage. That is why I posted a link to Oprah.com with a prewritten letter than can be sent to your state rep. demanding sticter laws to keep better tabs on these perverts.
Geez, sorry I posted this...(OP)
Can't even share a bit of someone's good fortune without being flamed...whatta shame! 
Help site probably posted before

Here is a site that you can spend about 20 seconds a day clicking on that will give to Hungry children, breast cancer researsh, literacy, animals, etc. All you have to do is click on each site and major companies will give money daily. Here is the site http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com and you can go further from there. There are rainforest sites and child health sites for vitamins. Jut please pull it up, bookmark it, and you can contibute every day just with a click. Thanks!!!!
Sorry, late when I posted
but I am talking about plants to grow inside that have some fragrance, nothing that takes a lot of babying because not much of a green thumb here. I have loads of green plants but just would like to have some really nice-smelling ones. At my previous home I had gardenia bush right outside my door and so sweet during the summer. Any ideas?
Just posted the same thing at the top sm
my name has a different spelling and at the age of 39 I am really tired of having to explain the reason for the spelling.
I posted above about losing my mom sm
I remember walking with a couple of friends and complaining about my mom (while she was still alive) and one of the women said to me "I lost my mom and I would give anything to have another day with her". It was several years later before I lost my mom, but oh how those words play in my mind. I will hear the country song "Just one more day" and I have to turn off the radio. I miss her teribly and I personally think that is the way it should be. Just keep all of the wonderful memories. "hugs again"
Truly unbelievable! Keep us posted.

Posted below, updating..
I have read, I have searched, I asked my physician point blank if I could have costochondritis, no answers, horrific, front and back rib pain, every day, no let up. Posted here several times trying to find if anyone out there with similar problem. Now I could wring my doctor's neck. I finally read last night (have fibromyalgia) that 60-70% of fibro suffers also HAVE costochondritis and it can go on for sometimes 6-12 months. That is a huge amount. I have had probably about 3 months now with no relief. The site said omega 3, 2400 units (mg?) per day along with usual non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for 2 weeks and then just the omega 3 alone after that and the omega really is pain reliever. I NEVER eat fish and yet this morning have asked hubby to hook me up with some - I know it won't hurt and should help me some. Why, why if this were a possibility and I even asked my physician specifically if it could be the costo, surely he has more knowledge than me, why not test me to see as I am bitterly complaining of rib pain all around?? I just DO NOT get it but this is 1 thing for sure, the next physician I go to will NOT be that one. I go to a family practice and there are several around my home and this lady will definitely be going elsewhere.
Not the one who posted on the pills but
I say good for you mom for making sure your daughter is protected.
My girls are used to frank and open discussions with me so I do not fear that they will end up a teenage mother.
My mother never discussed anything like that with me. She could barely stand to have me in her presence from as far back as I could remember.
No surprise that I was a mother by the age of 18 either. I'm going to do my best to see that my kids don't follow in my footsteps.
I posted below about pits
adn said wish they would phase them out. But you know, with all hearing about them, don’t you think this woman was totally responsible for having them in the first place? I think it is really sad that folks continue to let them be around children, especially. The adults surely to goodness know better but continue on with wanting to own them and speaking up for them when they are real killers.
As I posted in another thread,
I just love old cars, especially ones that are funny, unusual, or just pretty. I don't care about engines - I am a girl - so it's all about looks, and a little about the funny old-fashioned sounds they made. But still - cars! So while I would be happy to collect little toy/model cars, I have had to control the urge because I'm supposed to want to collect pretty dishes and glasswear or teapots or something, and none of that stuff interests me. I don't care what it's worth if it doesn't capture my imagination.
I do sort of collect books on gardening though, and they must have many, many color pictures.

I'm sorry - maybe should not have posted this - monitors (sm)
If this is offensive would you remove it please? Sorry - thanks
Is that your real name you posted?

You posted back on 1/02...sm
and a lotta folks gave you great suggestions on food and nutrient supplements for your old furkid. Go back and review those posts.
I'm sorry to hear that she's still losing weight.
I've had quite a few cats and when they get unsteady on their feet, can't get to the litter by themselves and losing weight, ya know what time it is. (And I know you don't want to hear that from your original post).
Just keep her comfy, feed her favorite goodies and love on her.  Cat
No one here knows me, I posted below under original
post and said all I want to say.
actually, I posted about coconut oil below (sm)
It is supposed to help your body fight any lipid-encased virus, which an article I read says herpes viruses are. You can get it at any healthfood store - look it up online - there is a lot about it.
I don't know but after I posted this I went to Walmart
and got this supposedly comfortable panty that cinches waist and tucks tummy. Looks comfortable. Only 7 bucks. Still too chicken to try it. Now I bid on e bay that body shaper thing like the one on HSN so it makes me 10 pounds lighter. Looks uncomfortable but will try. Of course, I just gave up and am getting size 10/11 jeans now. Going to auction off my size 5 jeans. I am torn between being comfortable and me and looking good and uncomfortable. Don't you just love midlife crises? BTW: I look at vintage clothing from the 80s back to 50s. Nobody could ever fit in those 36-24-36 garments. They had to have worn girdles all the time at least in the 50s, or they had some amazing way to figure out how to distribute!
