I was watching one of the Freddy movies where the girl was pregnant.

Posted By: my scariest moment on 2005-10-31
In Reply to: Which one scared you the most? Night of the Living Dead - still scared - still scared

Anyway, I slept in the basement and my parents slept upstairs. It was about midnight when I was watching this Nightmare on Elm Street movie. Our dogs were in the kennel next to my bedroom and started whining. I heard something thump in the ceiling of my bedroom, so I hightailed it upstairs to sleep on the couch. The next morning, we saw what looked like a coiled up snake inside the fluorescent light fixture in my bedroom. It was a studded dog collar and a rusty butcher knife inside the fixture. How it got there, we don't know but it wasn't there before I watched the movie. We can only guess that someone or something was after me that night. I stopped watching scary movies for about 15 years after that. Now, to see snippets of the Nightmare movies, they're so lame and fake.

I used to love scary movies but now I can't even consider watching them. Guess I've changes i

My nephew got a girl pregnant at Spring Break.
He was in college.  The girl pretty much partied with every guy there, but tracked them down.  DNA proved paternity.  Now he pays child support to a girl who was a one night stand.  As bad as that is, things could have been worse.  I am just glad my DD never wanted to go.

You go girl! You go girl! Loved your response!
Wooo hooo!!! 
We actually had some old 8 mm movies...

put on video (some years back) and they must have thought we were a bunch of hicks because to go along with our vintage 1960s era Christmas morning movie, they put the movie to music, of all things, Turkey In The Straw.  I actually went on E-bay and bought an old projector that plays 8mm and super 8mm and we watch all the old movies on an old projector.  It's fun, but I know they will deteriorate eventually.  Nothing more weird than seeing my mother at age 27 (5 yrs before I was born), dragging on a cigarette.  She quit when I was 3, so I have no memory of this.  Old movies are so much fun.


He has been in a lot of movies and was

movies
That's a difficult one - probably would include From here to eternity (the original), i'm telling my age!   Cape Fear, urban cowboy!
fav movies
1. The Frenchman and the Beautician
2. Top Gun
3. Meet The Fockers


movies
I also loved history of violence, I didn't think I liked that main guy in an old movie, but he was quite good! And I think william hurt played an excellent mean person (is that a compliment??)
I think it's because he's doing too much. Look at how many movies he's made in the last fe
all in a row.  Plus, the divorce surely is adding to that.  As far as Angelina, don't blame her.  If Brad was in love with his wife, he wouldn't have strayed.  Plus, it obviously isn't just an "affair."  It seems they are developing a relationship.  Also, don't forget, Angelina was the victim of a cheating husband and had her heart broken, so she knows that pain.  I think Brad and Jennifer spent too much time apart.  And he does have a history of falling in love with his co-stars - Gwyneth and Juliette to name two. 
Seen any good movies lately?
I liked The Pacifier and National Treasure.  We are planning on having an outdoor movie night using a white sheet nailed to the side of the house and a projector to the DVD player on the computer, but I can't think of anything good to rent.
Scary movies
Creature From The Black Lagoon.

The original Phantom of the Opera with Lon Chaney.
Pay per view movies
Our pay per view channels are the 100's.  Your system might be different.  Our system is supposed to be connected to a phone line always, but a lot of the time it is not.  We can usually still order movies with our remote.  My SIL only has a cell phone now, so I do not know how she does it.  We select the channel with the movie that we want.  Press info.  You can arrow up to exit if you do not want to purchase the program, or press menu to purchase the program.  Our system is older, so yours may work a little differently.  W have learned to be very careful because it is easy to order a movie that you really do not intend to.  Sometimes you can go into purchases and cancel.  With some things, you cannot.  My husband, who is very technically challenged, sat there one night and accidently surfed where he did not belong and accidently rented some kind of special adult presentation.  We immediately tried to cancel, but were unable to do so.  You can also go online to rent a movie, which is also easy, or you can do so by phone. 
when movies were 25 cents and you could...sm

send 10 letters thru the post office on $1.00


 


geesh - I'm older than dirt.......*LOL* 


Drive in Movies sm
I remember as a kid going to the drive-in movies with my mom hiding us in the backseat so as not to have to pay for all of us.

As a kid I remember the amusement truck coming around and we could take a ride on the "whip" for $0.25.

I remember when it was legal to open the fire hydrant and get wet during hot summer days. (Yes, I lived in a "city").

I remember "Happy Days" was the hit show when I was a teen and the boys tried to look and be like the "Fonze".

I also remember as a teen, a bag of Doritos was $0.25.

Can you guess my age?
(Hint - between 37 and 39) LOL.
I love old movies too...

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes


Barefoot In The Park


Gone With The Wind...I love them all!


Well, I like his movies, so neener.

How do you order movies from Direct TV?
I'm a fairly new subscriber to Direct TV and up until now when we wanted to watch a movie, we would just go to the video store and rent one.  I know Direct TV lets you order those movies from them and they put it on your bill and you get to watch the movie when you want to.  Do any of you do this and do you find it more convenient/more expensive?  Also, do you have to have a phone line to do this?  Exactly how does it work?  Thank you for the info and feeling a little dumb having to ask!
what are your favorite top 3 movies of all time?
1. A River Runs Through It
2. The Notebook
3. Bladerunner
Some older movies, but good ones...

The Life of David Gale...excellent movie...Kevin Spacey, I think...


Mona Lisa Smile...Julia Roberts...I really liked this one, so did my teenage daughter...


Forrest Gump, of course, one of my all-time favorites...we all know who he is (and the soundtrack is awesome)!!!


Have a lovely weekend...


Movies that are so bad they're good.
I'm gonna check that one out. I love movies like that. Nicholas Cage in Vampire's Kiss - same story, very young, bad movie, but boy did he give it his all. Talk about over acting.
Jack Nicholson movies
He is my favorite actor and starred in two of the funniest movies I ever saw: Goin' South (which he also directed) and The Fortune (with Warren Beatty)--both hard to find but absolutely hilarious!
You want strange movies - check out the
Joaquin Phoenix and Vince Vaughn was really a good one.  Also, I happened to come across a movie about 3 or 4 years ago that turned out to be one of my favorites - Last of the Dogmen with Tom Berringer and Barbara Hersey - I HIGHLY recommend this movie - It's not a war movie but I don't want to tell you what it's about because it would ruin the surprise.
Typing Captions for TV&Movies
Does anyone here type captions?  I want to know more about this, as I was watching TV w the captions on and wondering who types the words.   I wonder if you just get to watch TV and type what you hear all day long...that would be so sweet.

I was pregnant at 17...
And though my circumstances were different, I do know how scared she feels, how self absorbed you become thinking of only how this will affect YOU. I absolutely believe abortion is wrong, but the other posts are right in the fact that you will not be able to make that decision for her and all you can do is love her and stand by her regardless of the decision she makes.

My mother-in-law had an abortion when she was young and it literally haunts her to this day. It is hard when you are young to see the forrest for the trees.

There is nothing wrong with stating your opinion in LOVE, but it definitely needs to be followed with...I will love and be there for you no matter what decision you make, if you still want a relationship with your neice.
Pregnant at 16

I became pregnant when I was 16.  I was told by my family "you will have an abortion" when the initial shock hit.  Then, I was told "you will put the baby up for adoption."  I went with my ex-boyfriend (who is now my husband going on 10 years and our child is 12) to talk to a co-worker of his who had an abortion - she said DON"T DO IT!  I was made to look through family profiles to consider for adoption.  Then when I finally stood up for myself and said wait a minute - THIS IS MY CHOICE, I was taken to talk to my minister to talk me out of keeping the baby.  His words were "God has given you this gift and has a purpose for this baby, do what is in your heart."   Needless to say, I didn't give it a second thought and decided to raise my child.  I did so with the support of my family realizing they had been wrong to judge me and try to make my decisions for me, also with the support of the birth father (now my husband and we have a 2nd child too).  I beat the odds, I finished high-school, went to 2 year community college and got a very good job.  When our son was 2, I was 18 and husband was 20 - we decided that we wanted to be together, we had grown up and 6 months later got married. 


My advice to anyone who finds theirselves in this situation is "do what is in your heart" and do not listen to other peoples opinions, judgements, etc.  The decision she makes for her and her child is between her and her God if she chooses to ask him to help her with her decision.  If she choses abortion, that is her right (I am a Pro-Choice Christian).  I do feel abortion is wrong, but no more a sin than any other as God sees sin as sin, not at different levels.  I would hope your niece would choose the option that is right for her, hopefully adoption or raising it herself if she wants and thinks she can do it.  What she needs now is support from her family, not criticism or judgement - whether you agree with her decisions or not.


Just my 2 cents, having been there and having assessed all angles myself and now knowing what its like to be in those shoes


Pregnant
I had a son at 16 and raised him on my own. He is now going to be 11 and I am married to a great guy and we just had a daughter together. There are other forms of birth control. The nuva ring is awesome you only take it out for 1 week.
Pregnant or not pregnant??

Okay, I have a total non-work related problem that I need some feed back on.


I am 1 day late on my period, (my periods are usually right on time), and I took a home pregnancy test and there was a very faint line. So, I went to the store to get one of the digital ones, because they tell you "PREGNANT" or "NOT PREGNANT".  Well, it says "not pregnant", but then I ejected the stick out and there is a pretty bright, while still a little faint, blue line. The ClearBlue Easy website says if there is any line at all, faint or not, then you are pregnant.


I am just confused. We have been trying for months now and I just want to know. I guess I will find out sooner or later, but if anyone has any advice I would really appreciate it!!


THANKS!!


Pregnant or not pregnant?
Ummmm....it's called gynecologist, go see one and he/she will tell you for sure. Congratulations if you are!!!!!!!!
Any pregnant MTs?
I have been an MT for one year and I am currently 3 months pregnant.  Lately I have not been able to focus on my work I have been struggling to stay awake.  I dread coming downstairs in the morning to do my work because I know it is going to be a struggle to stay awake and stay focused.  Does anyone have any suggestions.  I currently work 6 hours a day and do a line count of 2100 lines per day.  I just don't know what I can do to stay focused and to get my work done.  I take a lot of breaks but sometimes I do not even return from my break.  I am an independent contractor.  Oh, also I have a 20-month old sone at home with me as well while I am working.  And I have a lot of mood swings.  Is there any other MTs going through this same thing?  Any advice from anyone.  THanks.  I appreciate the help. 
When I was pregnant
and my hubby would use ain't or another word that was used incorrectly, I would lovingly tell him that I was not going to allow him to talk to our children.
Yeah! We would go to the movies for 75c - triple feature horror flicks -
Vincent Price and Boris Karloff. Of course, we were too busy 'making out' to watch the movies! That is, until the usher came by a shined the flashlight on us!
I was 18 when I got pregnant, unmarried, of course (sm)
and even though it sounds stupid to me now why I didn't use birth control, it's just because I didn't think it would happen to me.  And just FYI, a baby doesn't have to suffer.  My unplanned baby is almost 40 and is a great "kid".  One of my greater accomplishments.  No need to insult.
pregnant niece
I had a similar situation and my niece was 19 at the time. She was not sleeping around, was with 1 guy but not using OCP or anything else because it was her sexual relationship and she thought she "couldn't get pregnant." She had sex ed and was told better, but apparently she listened to her stupid friends instead of her teachers.

I'm a little more hardened than you - I would have told her that I was taking her advice and minding my own business.

I'm not opposed to abortion. I think it is much more of a sin to bring a child into the world when you cannot support s/he and do not love s/he unconditionally.

Your niece made a mistake, a big one, but she should not have to forfeit her chance at a life because of a sexual encounter. If she can't remember to take the pill, she needs to get a patch. But she should be using a barrier method of some kind to prevent STDs.

The fact that she is not responsible enough to use birth control should be a clue that she is not responsible enough to raise a child.
My money is on you - I bet you are pregnant..
Same thing for me and my husband - faint lines and we too took the test to the pharmacist and told her she did not have to touch the test but asked her opinion if she thought we were pregnant...she said if any line is on there you have to be because of the pregnancy hormone is what makes the line...she was right...But there is a slight chance of a malfunction, but doutbful..They test those tests! I hope you are and good luck!!! Please let us know.
I hope you are pregnant since you want it so
much.  My advice would be to wait a bit longer and try another test or make an appointment with your Dr. to get tested.  I took a ClearBlue Easy test awhile back, and like you, I had a very faint blue line.  I went on the website and found out that even a faint line means you are prengnant, but alas, I was not.  Good luck to you!!

I am not currently pregnant, but my son is 13 months old....sm
My production dropped the first part of my pregnancy because I was so sick/tired, picked back up the middle only to fall again the last from being tired.  I took two 30 minute naps during the day (my lunch and then my 2 breaks combined).  I fixed what I wanted to eat and ate while I was working.  Your production will fall, but the main priority is the baby.  I also had 2 jobs and both employers were understanding.  I knew from a money standpoint I would have to return back to work soon after the birth.  When I became pregnant I had every intention of saving enough money I could be off for 6 or 12 weeks, but then my production dropped and so did my money.  I had him on a Tuesday, got out of the hospital on Friday and was back at work Saturday.  It is hard to deal with a drop in production when your pregnant, but remember it will be over shortly.  Keep your baby first in your thoughts and it will make it easier to get through.  Good luck to you.
Currently 6.5 months pregnant....sm

I am really, really tired at this point.  I have a 2-1/2 year-old that goes to the babysitter for 4-5 hours a day Monday-Thursday and home with me on Friday.  I get started at 6 a.m. when I am most functional and my production is the highest and work until 9 a.m.  After dropping my daughter off at the babysitter I get back to work for about 4-5 hours.  I find myself having to take naps during the day whereas I did not with my daughter.


I try to work extra when I can to help make up for my decrease in production.  Also, we both are in the bed at night by 8:30 p.m. just relaxing and watching television; therefore, I feel much more refreshed in the morning.


I thought I went back early with my daughter at 3 weeks, but you have me beat.  I do plan on going back at 5 weeks after having this baby, but we will see.  Not sure how I will manage with a newborn.  By the way, I also work 2 jobs, but I find myself doing very little production on my second job if I work at all on most days, just cannot get it done.


Quit when I got pregnant also....sm
Found out on a Monday I was pregnant and quit cold turkey the next day.  Over time the smell of smoke really made me sick while I was pregnant.  For a while I still had cravings, but nothing now.  It has been 3 years and I have no desire to return to smoking whatsoever.  It is really funny now because when I msell the smoke or it makes me all choked up, I ask myself is this what I used to do to people when I smoked?
