what Laura E. does is correct...sm
Monitors burn out every couple of years so turning off the monitor is essential......*S*  Other than that, I leave the MQ computer on 24/7/365 turning the monitor off at night. 
Laura, Don't Give Up!
Laura E, you feel strongly and you represent so many women in America -- but we don't understand you!   Your argument on a logical level is HIGHLY ILLOGICAL, and therefore it does not hold water.  Make it hold water!   Come back and explain, please please please!  Don't just say (in effect), Well that's what I think, so there.  Not good enough and it makes your words be just so many grains of sand.  Pull together a LOGICAL argument and turn your stance into something concrete, if you are able.  Otherwise, your opinion -- and the opinions of millions of women just like you -- is nothing more than a that:  a wispy, vacuous opinion, and you have not convinced a single person that your viewpoint is correct because it is logical.  It is not. 
Most definitely LAURA BUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nm

Laura w/drunk huby
Get a voice activated one,keep it in a central spot where he's usually starting his crap. My ex had total amnesia the next day after his drunken rants...one night, he got so vicious, he started spewing how he was going to kill me..a long slow death...my DD had the wisdom to turn the recorder on...he never touched me, but I got us OUT before he could...That tape sealed my case on domestic violence charge AND the subsequent divorce....you could have heard a pin drop in that courtroom. Again, did not touch me "that night" but it was his thought that counted, against him LOL
Hey Laura - I live in Mechanicsville -
Didn't realize there were others on this board from my neck of the woods. Maybe we should start a dinner club for MTs?
I agree with above, Laura's statement
I believe Edix at one time allowed their employees to stop early if they achieved their required line counts for the day. At least that is what I was told. It depends on the company. It's kind of crazy mentality to think you're "stealing" from the company if they require you to be on for 8 hours after you've achieved maximum lines for the day only to find out after the 6th hour there is no work available at all on any accounts! Stealing?? NOT!
So funny, Laura! Me, too, I wish I was back
in the 160s to 180s in weight!!! My IQ is probably going down, while my weight takes up the #s slack!!
Laura's must be -20 cuz she married that stupid GW

are you the same Laura E who did not even make 12k last year? That doesn't
sound like plenty of work. It sounds like PT and that does not mean that there is enough for FT.
Thanks Laura. I didn't seem my first open casket until

I was in my mid 20's and I just about passed out.  I had never been to one.  Although I respect and understand other religions and rituals, my husband is not a practicing Catholic and feels the same way that I do.


I appreciate your input.  It's a tough decision.


No, Laura. That's not true. I did research the woman. I believe
even you and I talked about her.  And, the person who has not yet shipped the footpedal is not Kristen Pineda.  It is someone else from a completely different state.  I have contacted the seller and let her know that she has 3 days to ship the pedal or I would file a police report myself as well as take legal action against her for conducting fraud on the MTStars website. 
Laura Bush. Not to start an argument, LOL, I really do. nm
.
Laura=nice lady but seems so nebish-like..nm

I like Laura Bush, She has alot of class.

If we want to get personal about the husband situation, then I mean come on, who can forget all of Bill Clintion's antics??  Ole' Hillary stayed w' him just to further her career.  To me personally, When I look at the current Bushs I can see they they like each other, even DARE I DAY IT< LOVE each other.  With the Clinton's all you got was cold air from Hillary, but then again who can blame her?  But she is the one who stayed......so I don't feel bad for her at all.


THESE ARE JUST MY OPINIONS!!!!!!  Everyone have a wonderful day!!!!


Laura, the person who scammed the OP is not Kristen Pineda. This is a
completely different person altogether. We are dealing with the situation from this end. Thank you.

Anyone know of online production seminars for WP like Laura Bryan offers
for Word?  I have only used Word before, now new company requires WP.  Just feel like I'm grinding gears trying to get used to this.  I would like to start with the basics.  Thanks.

Hear, hear! I agree with Dakota - sm
The MTSO should be giving feedback to the hospital/doctors who slur, speak too rapidly, etc. They need to pull up their socks! And there's no reason why these doctors shouldn't be given an outline of what is expected from them when they dictate, such as cell phones, chewing food, candy, gum, etc.

My daughter...
She was just over 2 when it was pretty obvious mom just wasn't enough! She was bored with the trips to the playground, the toys, the trips to the store, etc.

Her pediatrician told me she needed more socialization. A SIGN OF THINGS TO COME!! So I found a great nursery/day care at the local church and she just loved it. When I picked her up the first day, she told me I came too soon. Talk about hurt feelings!! I was in agony all day and she was having the time of her life without me.

Well, now she's beginning her second year of college next week and is totally bouncing off the walls... pretty much like she did when she was 2.

It's good your daughter can't wait. It may just be a sign of independence and self-confidence. Don't take it personally. They don't appreciate us until they have their own kids!!

Good luck to you and your little girl and you son LOL ;-)
If she were my daughter I'd tell her...sm
that I'd rather her be mad at me for making her ride the bus when she's sleep deprived than having to pick out her body at a morgue from an accident.

Frankly at 10 p.m. every night I'd take the cell phone away and make it clear to anyone that called that it is not acceptable to call after that time. Her friends will get the message quickly and will learn to respect your rules.

Too many parents this day and time are afraid to set rules for their kids to follow, but that's the parents fault. They need to remember who's the adult and who's the child and set/abide by ground rules. Studies show that the more parents intervene in their kids life the less likely they are to drink, do drugs, have sex or get into trouble with friends.
My 13 y/o daughter (more)
and I have gotten into the habit of taking the dog out and having a little walk around the neighborhood when I get off work at midnight. I'm going to miss that. I'm not having the "ready for her to go back" feeling at all this summer, but I have had the feeling in the past sometimes.
My daughter was 5.
She decided she was ready so she did it, and she loves them.  She is almost 8 now and she nor I have regretted it.  Personally, my sister was 3 and I was 4  when we had our's done.  I think it depends on the child.
My Daughter
I let her get her ears pierced for her 6th birthday.
My daughter was 11

She was allowed at 10 but was afraid. LOL. A lot of people asked me why I didn't get her ears pierced as a baby, but I just felt that was something for her to decide. She turns 13 in September and wants to get her second holes. I told her that I will get mine done too.


I just felt 10 was an age where she could decide and also take care of her ears and earrings. Everyone has their own opinion on this, I don't think anyone is really wrong. Good luck.  


My daughter was 8. nm

My daughter and I took it - we both
had no benefit from it, and also my daughter had a very severe allergic reaction. We tried them all Concerta, Focalin, Strattera, all with no help at all. Our neurologist just tried us about 2 months ago on Metadate CD, one of the original ADD meds, and its a MIRACLE. I was only diagnosed this year, after my daughter, and after first I sobbed after taking Metadate, as I never knew brain calm, so to speak. I then read on a doctors' website on ADHD/ADD that you know you have the right med when you get that reaction - sobbing with relief, and also sadness at what you have been thru without realizing it!! Its been about 1.5 months, and she and I are both doing great. The interesting thing is that the meds are speed, basically, but if you have ADD, they don't have that effect on you - they plug in your brain. The ones who speed on ADD meds and also abuse them are ones who don't really have ADD - thus its like cocaine to them! Feel free to write if you want to talk about anything - its been quite a shock to me to accept that I have ADHD, but its getting easier! Provigil is basically an experimental one for ADD - it seems the old ones have the best results!
Thanks! My daughter-in-law is due soon and I will have....
on hand should she need help.  Maybe it will work for her!!!
They probably know both of you. My daughter
picks up my medicine all the time.
Daughter did this...
She finished the school, but basically same thing, poor pay and pill counter at Walmart all that was available.  Not a living wage...
where would you be if your daughter was missing (sm)
in another country?  The posts on down the board are appalling, some of them anyways!  I would hope that any parent in their right mind would be right there, no matter where "there" is, if their child were missing.  I know I'd be whereever I had to be.  I could not rest until I was there, waiting and helping to find my child.  I'd go to the ends of the earth to get my daughter back, no questions asked.  And maybe people are donating money to them so they can stay in Aruba and help find their daughter, as well as keep their lives going back here at home.  Where has compassion gone? It's truly sad that we ridicule people for simply wanting desperately to find their lost child.  Just Sad.
Hey, one of my friend's daughter
is a duck queen!
I have a 15 year old daughter....
and it is also a 16 mild trip to pick her up...but yet every day I am there and I will be no matter what the cost of gas. I would not trust an inexperienced teen driving my daughter. The price of gas is becoming outrageous yes...but your daughter's life is priceless.

My 17yo daughter.....
was similarly distressed at age 15.  A lot of it is just part of growing up.  They are anxious, moody, and sometimes emotional.  I took her to counseling and she decided that she wanted to work through this tough time without being medicated.  I'm not sure that pulling your son out of school and what he knows is going to help.  That's just MORE change in his life.  I would seek counseling and find out what's going on with him, but in your case I think isolating him further would simply contribute to his anxiety.  But since I'm not a professional, again, I'd take him to see somebody.  As a footnote, my daughter will be 18 in March, is a senior, is getting good grades again, and is, as she says..."Happy as a Clam"
It's going around. I have it, too. So does hubby and daughter.
i
I'm cooking. Daughter and son-in-law,
son, husband and myself will be spending Thanksgiving together (after my son and I get off work).
Yes, a daughter, all grown.
I married & divorced very young. Have 2 roommates (friend and her boyfriend). Couldn't afford this house otherwise. LOL. I live in an area called Lone Mountain Vistas, not far from Summerlin.
Have a daughter with bipolar.
She has racing thoughts and says things not connected to the conversation like your friend. She also has extreme mood swings. Usually bipolars go one way or the other, dysphoric or euphoric. No middle. When manicky, she will stay up for days without sleep, but when dysphoric will sleep for 16 straight hours a day. It can be a very debilitating illness.
My daughter was born at 1:28 a.m. and if she is
doesn't even get in the shower till oh, about 9:00 p.m.   And she sleeps till 1 or 2 p.m. if she doesn't have to work.  Drives me nuts!  But then, I was born at 7:00 a.m. and I like to get up early and then am falling asleep by 10, 11 p.m. at the latest. 
I don't, but my daughter wanted one . . .sm
She wanted a vine (like a bracelet) around her upper arm.  She was 20 at the time so I really had no say in the matter except, "Why don't you wait until we go see your grandmother in short sleeves." We did and she scrapped the vine idea in a hurry.
Listen to your daughter on this one

You may be distracted with worrying about her and not "be there" for your hubby 100%.  As other posters have said, she can visit & pay her respects at the graveside, on her own time.


My son was only 5 when my Gramps died and though I took him to the visitation (I had not sitter) with every intention of keeping him away from the open casket, he managed to get up there anyway.


He's 22 now and when my mother passed away 2 years ago, the one he was very very close to, she was cremated and we had such a casual memorial for her.  He was able to speak about their good times and how he would always know she was with him when he heard Nat King Cole, etc. 


He told me later that this was so much "cooler" than when great gramps died.  "Never let me lay in a casket for people to just stare at Mom".  So, even though he was just 5 at the time, he remembers it clearly. 


My sympathies to your hubby and all.


My daughter is 10 also and just had her first boyfriend...

I was very upset about it at first.  At my friend's suggestion, I sat down with my little girl and asked her exactly what she thought it meant to have a boyfriend.  I asked her if they would be holding hands, if they would be kissing.  She was shocked and a little embarrassed, but I'm glad we had that talk because I don't think it occurred to her that he might expect those things. 


I also made it very clear that young relationships last days, not years.  So, when he broke up with her after 27 days (she counted) she wasn't all that shocked and probably took it better than she would have if we hadn't talked about it.
