and please do. a family member had braces in elementary school and they came out beautiful. somewhere after marriage, kids, she stopped wearing the retainer. she is not in her 40's and her teeth shifted back to almost day one.
wear the retainer while sleeping - it's no biggie compared to the waste of time and money and beautiful smiles.

I think I look nice & as long as I have one ass instead of two I'll wear what I like...
... if that's all right with you.

It's all about the retainer!
You didn't mention how old your son is. My son was 13 when his braces went on. He had four teeth pulled before that, as well. Two teeth were baby teeth with no permanent teeth behind them, and the other two were removed for the sake of symmetry and space. He wore his braces for 13 months. When they first came off, it was a little strange, and his teeth did seem pushed forward. But he faithfully continues to wear his retainer, and as he's grown, the teeth look beautiful and naturally placed. His orthodontist stresses the importance of wearing the retainer. It's especially important with boys, because they continue to grow into their 20's, and their jaws will continue to widen. My son wore his retainer all the time for one year. Now he only wears it to sleep. He's almost 19 and still wears it, and the orthodontist wants him to wear it until he's 21. My son says that if he skips a few days, he can definitely feel the difference when he puts the retainer back in. And it's true, he continues to grow. He was only 5-feet, 6-inches when he had his braces on. Today he's 6-feet, 5-inches!
So retainer, retainer, retainer! It's important.
sleeping
You are so wrong for posting that picture......they are sooooooo cute.....all I can do is sit here and cry........That pic should be a Christmas postcard..........I'm crying, but you made my day.....THANK YOU
No sleeping here either.
34* w/a high of around 60* and pt.cloudy.
No plans today. Just hanging around as usual.
Everyone enjoy your day.
Not sleeping
Sometimes your hormones will prevent you from sleeping. The night before my little friend comes every month, I have trouble sleeping.
I have a life, a great life at that. I just happen to include my canine family

My 11yr old cat has taken to sleeping
on my bed during the day exactly where I sleep. He often gets in bed with us at night, something he has never done. He also wants to be more sociable and wants to be petted a lot. Is this odd behavior? I'm thinking maybe he know something that I don't. He seems healthy enough, the last vet visit he had a very good check-up. Should I be worried?
Maybe the baby was sleeping.
I know mine all had lower heart rates in the 1-teens when they were sleeping when we did ultrasounds and listened to their heart beats. When they were awake it ranged from 130s-160s. I hope yours is okay.
What the women wear or don't wear is not the
issue here. They can wear what they want. The issue is what is actually going on in the compound and the laws that are being broken.
Me, too! Socks for sleeping have to be white! :) nm

why do "socks for sleeping have to be white*??
college kids sleeping together
I have an 18 and 21 year old (both girls) that go to college. Both of them have boyfriends out of State. So they come to visit and these boys sleep in another room because my daughters know I would not care to have them sleep in the same beds in my home. I told them I am not running a hotel. I always tell them there is a diference between a college dorm and our home. What happens at college I don't see. Last night I asked the 18 year old when you go to your boyfriend's house who is 20where do you sleep. (I never met the parents. She said the stepmom said she would not have a problem sharing the same bed in her home but knows that her stepson does not share one in our home so she wants to respect our wishes. I know when my daugther went off to college she was never sexually active and had morals. This woman is 38 and I am 52. There is also a 10 year old boy that lives in that same house. My daugter told me they are more like hippies compared to us. Am I being a prude or does anyone feel the same way I do.
I would stop sleeping in the same bed/room as him
Tell him that you can't stand the stench because it can't be good. Not taking care of/repairing your teeth is as bad as not taking a shower/practicing basic good hygeine. It's pretty gross.
Let sleeping dogs lie... leave him
Just leave him, if he doesn't love you he can still love your kids long distance. I wouldn't have let him come back the first time. You need to think about yourself and your children, let sleeping dogs lie.
My bad! My little girl says its Sleeping Beauty
not Snow White! I stand corrected! I'm not a princess expert by any means!
Sleeping too late in the morning.
..
Try sleeping with a wrist split first.
It might just do the trick and it's cheaper than paying a doctor.
Sleeping woman uses the internet
Or it could be titled...You know your addicted to the internet when.....

Staying at home and sleeping it in. Have to be at work at

Hand him a bottle of sleeping pills and say

I remember sliding out of a chair and sleeping on the floor (sm)
at my MIL's house during first trimester. Just seemed to drop off so easily and they were soooooo boring.
Good luck to you. Hope you have a healthy and happy pregnancy.
Is the problem indoor accidents, or sleeping at night ?
Didn't give any details.
thanks! :) I'll see if he'll ask some female friends SM
Thank you everyone! It has been great reading all of your responses! Goodnight!! "See" you all tomorrow!

Whatever you want to wear - sm
You are going to love the Lion King! When I went a couple years ago there were people in dresses and suits, but a lot of other people, including myself, in just a nicer outfit - slacks and a sweater. Some people were even in jeans.
I got some to wear in the car when
we went on vacation last summer. They were great. I could actually work and not hear anything else going on in the car. However, I never use them at home because they are SOO big. I have my favorite pair that I wear, but when they wear out, I guess I will be wearing my expensive BIG ones! They do work, though
what to wear?
Need a bit of help. I am a full-figured woman (26) and have been invited to a fancy, fancy wedding. What am I going to wear? I do not wear skirts or dresses. I have looked online for plus size fancy occasion pant sets but cannot find anything that looks good. They all look real cheap. For this affair the cost of an outfit will be no problem. I just need advise/help on finding something. Probably need size 26/28 as I would rather get bigger than smaller and then have it tailored.
There is no way I would wear the one ...sm
with the jewelry hanging from it. That irks me. I just want to grab the thing and jerk it off. LOL. The one with the crystals in the contact lense without the thing hanging I think is cool.
yes some did wear them
My mom used to tell me about it. I was not born then either. She actually had one. The underskirt is something like the slip they wear under a square dance dress, they are made of very stiff tulle/mesh.
Mom said they get that stiff because they would spray them with spray starch/sugar water and hang them to dry.
The most of the poodle skirts you will see now are made of felt. You can get a pattern for it in the Halloween catalog for the major pattern companies. Look on line for McCall or Simplicity.
You should wear them...
I'm sure she'd be glad you liked keeping her close at heart and also you probably look very beautiful in them and she would be glad you are enjoying these earthly things that she took the time to purchase. Just remember, life is too short, and the jokes about "giving me that jacket" were showing how much you loved her taste in apparel, so why not wear them and know that your sister would have thought you look great in them! JMO.
I would wear them - sm
When my mom died I took about 80% of her clothes. Right now I cannot fit into them but we were the same height, though she weighed about 10 pounds less. But I can easily wear all her shirts and dresses...once I lose some weight, put on 35 pounds after she died. It makes me feel good to have her stuff and some of the smaller tops I have given to my daughters who are thrilled to have a little bit of grandma with them.
That's why I don't wear them
Too expensive and too restrictive, but I'm small enough to get away with it.
Probably not Pentecostal either. We wear
pants lots of times (even to church). We don't have home church meetings either. We have church in the sanctuary like most other denominations.
I normally wear two rings;
my wedding ring on my left hand and an opal on my right hand. For some reason, I always have to take my wedding ring off because it slows me down if I'm wearing it yet I keep my opal on because I feel it slows me down if it's off. ???? Strange I know.
I also wear Ace bands on my wrists. Have done this for a few years now because I don't want the big CT and it slows me down now if I don't have those on.
I don't wear mine either.
We've been married since 1998 and I wear my rings maybe once a week for only an hour or so at a time...I am so hard on jewelry I'm afraid I would either destroy them or lose them. Some of the things I do around here could get them crushed on my finger as well, so I even consider them a safety hazard! I only wear them when we go out. My husband never wears his either except when we go out. All of them are kept in my little jewelry box so we know where they are. It's never been an issue, but we're not that mainstream of a couple either!
None, never wear a bra, hate it. nm

Whatever it is you choose to wear...
just make sure it compliments the bridal party's ensemble.
It doesn't necessarily have to be a solid color, but if you choose a dress with floral patterns, make sure it doesn't clash too much with the MOB or the rest of the bridal party.
Go here (but in case it does not show) Smarter.com and search mother of the groom dress. It will give you several online stores. At least you can get an idea of what you might want.

My little princess would not wear
a collar! I was so worried that if she gets out she will not come back or be returned cause she wouldn't have a collar on with a tag. She just kept pawing at it and one day got her bottom jaw stuck trying to take it off. I gave up....
I'm glad I don't wear it all.
What would you wear to this occasion? (sm)
Mother and father-in-law's 50th anniversary part, at a country club, 7 p.m., not a dinner, just sort of a reception with cake and such, wine...how formal?
I just wear flats
I'm actually taller than my husband so I always wear flats. I think they're so much more comfortable for me anyway. Heels actually make the balls of my feet hurt.
It seems that is how they like to wear their hair...
I don't think there is anything specific behind it. Maybe they believe it conservative?
Use it up, Wear it out, Make it do, or Do without!

Maybe because no one has said to them they SHOULDN'T wear it...
nothing uglier than muffin top under too tight shirts, fat thighs in too tight jeans, sucking down an soda and eating a burger. Some people need to look in a mirror, or better yet, shop at a real department store, spend some money on good quality clothing, stop trying to dress like a teenager, and bring along a friend who will tell you how you REALLY look in the clothes you try on.
Anyone ever buy swim wear online?
I'm having a heck of a time finding a bathing suit anywhere locally (Wisconsin). The only place I see them are online, and I'm a bit hesitant about purchasing because it's a hassle returning, etc. Any suggestions? Goin' on a cruise in December. Thanks for your suggestions.
No, But I Only Wear an Engagement Ring....
It's not the biggest diamond in the world so it doesn't bother me. The whole "bare wrists" is another story, however.
