Interesting. I usually agree with you on topics but this one made me :confused:
I agree with the adultery but are you saying there is literally no other reason you would leave your dh? What if he was beating you bloody on daily basis? Sexually abusing your children? Using meth every night in your living room with the kids next to him on the couch? Yes, those are all real-life scenarios of women I know.
Even if you feel very strongly about divorce (as I do and I know you do) and therefore choose not to divorce him, I have a hard time understanding the idea that adultery would be the ONLY reason you would leave.
.
:iagree:
I said that I didn't believe in divorce. I had friends who were divorcing, and I would shake my head and smile my smug smile and tell myself that *I* would never be in that situation. I've actually said that there was nothing that could make me leave my husband. But.... that changed when HE changed. I realized how far he was willing to go outside the boundaries of acceptable and safe behavior around my children. This was not a decision I took lightly, but it was the only choice that would allow me to keep my children in a safe environment where their needs were the first priority.
I'm NOT saying your DH will change like mine did. Just that there's no way to know with absolute certainty what the future will hold.

My dad pretty much gives cash, every birthday without fail. And for Christmas, sometime's it's money/gift cards and sometimes it's gifts. (This year, it was quite a few gifts. :001_smile:)
My mom hasn't given me a birthday or Christmas gift since DS was born, but always gets me a small something for Mother's Day.
My stbxH's parents give me gifts for every holiday. All year long.
I plan to keep gifting to my kids as long as they're my kids. So.... yes.

Around here (Central Ohio), it's easy to find club soccer, but football is pretty much exclusively through the schools.
RE: Homeschoolers Participating in School Sports, I found:
So.... I guess you'd have to check with the individual district.

When it became necessary to leave my stbXH, my kids and I stayed with my mom for a few weeks. Then we moved into the house that she grew up in-- it was my great-grandparents' house, then my grandparents lived here until my grandmother died and my grandfather remarried. He was moving into his new wife's house just about the time I needed a place to land.
Providence, fate, Hand of God, whatever you call it.... I'm so grateful that I have a supportive family to see the kids and me through this.
I didn't see this coming until it was staring me in the face. In retrospect, I should have been preparing for this from day one, and intensely preparing for it over the last... year or so. But... I didn't believe it would ever really come to this. There is none so blind as those who will not see, you know.

Well i went to the Ortho. Waste of time. :glare:
I go in and they ask me about my shoulder pain. i tell them its not my shoulder, its my back, rib, elbow and the numbness in my hand. They tell me he wants an Xray- i tell them the Dr said i wouldnt need one because it wont show anything, so they want want anyway- fine w/e. They take one of my shoulder, which shows " slight arthritis" but nothing else. Then the Dr tells me I have tendonitis (sp?) in my elbow, gives me a brace and tells me to do Physical Therapy for my shoulder 2x a week.
I think either I need a new Ortho already, should call a Rheumatologist or something because i felt like this guy didnt listen to me. Thoughts????
If it's RA, you should be seeing a rheumatologist. I would see another GP who will do the blood work and make a referral. My mom has, and my grandmother had, RA. I've never heard of an Ortho deciding to test for RA.

22 weeks. They're not talking about moving him at all. My stepmom said that she has the baby in her room, and that her docs pretty much said that they're just waiting on him to die. :crying:

He's breathing!
He was born 2 hours ago, and they had lost his heartbeat on the monitor, so they thought they'd lost him. But he was breathing. He weighs 1 pound and 3 ounces.
I'm not clear on WHY exactly, but it may be that the hospital she's at has no NICU... But the doctors aren't doing anything at this point. They're just letting whatever happens happen.
Which now has me thinking about what a huge difference your geographical region makes in regards to infant mortality... even within the US. She's less than 200 miles away from me, but I can't imagine an infant that size/gestational age not getting NICU care in my area. There are at least 6 major hospitals with well-equipped NICUs within 50 miles of my house. I don't get it. I just..... Don't.

Cute dress with sandals, no panties. That should keep him awake.
:iagree:

My DS was that big at 3. He had latch issues, so I pumped for him-- but I did nurse DD until she was almost 3.
I hate the push to make this a "controversy." I don't give a fig if you want to nurse your DC until they're 12. Really. Not my life, not my kid, not my issue. I know people who think I stopped nursing DD too soon, and people who think I nursed her too long. Isn't there enough pressure in a mother's life without attacking each other over every difference in parenting style? Seriously?!
(Hm. You could delete nursing and insert homeschooling.... I guess I'm just a live and let live kind of parent....)
-
Anything can happen! When DD was in the NICU there was a set of twins in there that had been born in March but were due in July. One went home while we were there - the other was doing great, just had to get up to eating good.
Prayers!
Thank you! I knew SOMEONE in the Hive would have a positive story to relate!
-
My dad just called. My cousin, who is expecting her fourth child in September, has gone into labor. They've tried to stop her labor, but haven't been able to. My parents are on their way to go be with her kids right now. I can't imagine a good outcome from this at this point. So.... appealing to the Hive for your prayers and support. Thanks!!

LOL
Well I think gay men are somewhat attractive because they seem like the best of both worlds. They are often hot, are often meticulous about their looks, they want to talk about stuff interesting to women, AND they don't really want to have se* with you. What's not to love? :tongue_smilie:
I might regret posting that. But oh well. I don't plan to ever run for office. ;)
I wish we had a like button here.

There is no double standard, DH is allowed to look at men in kilts any time he wants to.
Seriously, I don't think joking about men in kilts is a big deal. It's what is UNDER the kilt that is a big deal ;)!

Sure you do!
Open notepad, copy the name exactly of the person you'd like to avoid reading.
Go to the User Control Panel, it's outlined on the dark blue menu bar.
Scan the left hand side of the menu that drops down.
Look for the third section and the entry that says: Edit ignore list.
Enter the poster name.
Click save.
Volia!
This made me do a happy dance!
-
You don't see the posts of the people on your ignore list. It just shows their name, and you can click "view post," if you really want to see it. It is just a reminder to myself not to talk certain people. You can see their posts when they are quoted, that gets me in trouble sometimes.
Yes, but how do I ignore someone? I don't seem to have that button.
-
Well, I something out of it; my ignore button was rusty. It is all freshened up now. And if you pm to ask if I am ignoring you and you don't get an answer? The answer is yes. You cannot send someone a PM if you are on their ignore list; they won't receive it.
How does this "ignore" feature work? I've often wondered...

However, right now in a 1bdrm its tight.
How did you get more than 2 people into a 1 bedroom in Ohio? I couldn't even get anyone to take my applications for a 1 bedroom, because they said the law is 2 bodies to a bedroom.

Yes, you need to use cotton yarn. Peaches & Cream is a common brand and easily available. Lion Brand also makes a cotton yarn; I think it is just called Lion Cotton.
Are you a member of Ravelry? If not, I highly recommend it! Go to ravelry.com and apply for membership. It's free and they have a VERY well-organized site. You can search for patterns, yarns, read reviews of them, participate in forums, etc.
Happy knitting!
Lilly's Sugar and Cream is good. It's a sturdy cotton yarn. Our washcloths made of it have held up well.I have crocheted washcloths from Peaches & Cream and Sugar & Cream yarn. Love them both!

I voted donuts. :tongue_smilie:
My maternal grandma used to make pork and sauerkraut in the crock-pot with potatoes and onions and carrots, while my dad's mother would make a plain pork roast and warm and serve the kraut at the last minute like you grew up with. I detest the stuff and make it only as a side or brat/hot dog topping for the kidlets, who inexplicably love it.
Soooo.... I see why he thinks he's right, and I also totally see why you think he was wrong. IOW, I'm no help at all.

:iagree: They should resell the dress or pass it on to someone who needs it. Surely there are tons of opportunities for beautiful shots of the bride that don't include destruction of the dress. I think I could understand it better if the couple were getting divorced and shots were being done out of vengence or something.
Looking at the shots in the link above all the pictures except the one in the sea could have been done without trashing the dress at all.
Here are some more pictures from a "trash the dress" shoot. I don't think that her dress is actually trashed, from the looks of the photos.You don't have to ruin the dress to get a good Trash the Dress session. It really means shooting the bride or couple in their wedding attire in a setting where you wouldn't normally expect to find a wedding couple.
"Trash the Dress" is just the name for wearing the dress in a situation that you normally wouldn't--without worrying about it, i.e., in the water at the beach. They don't light it on fire or cut it into ribbons with scissors or anything.It's not something I would be interested in, but there are a lot of photography trends I don't like. I just don't think it's immoral or appalling that they paid for it and want to use it in an offbeat way.
:iagree: Some women really do TRASH them, but isn't it her dress to do with as she pleases? I have a friend who wants to do a horror/zombie movie-type shoot with her wedding dress after she's done with it. She wants to have just a few "normal" wedding pictures and do most of her bridal pics in that theme. It's what suits them.
-
I've done TTD sessions for brides and after-prom, but I've never heard of a party for it. It's always been me and the bride/groom or the young lady.
-
She's healthy and active. Obviously she's just built differently.
Whatever you do, please don't mention this to her. Odds are good that, if she isn't already, she'll soon begin comparing her body to her sisters' bodies on her own. Mom mentioning that she's 3-4 pounds overweight, and her belly just looks bigger than her sisters' did at her age.... It could really hurt her self-esteem at a critical age.

Every time I see something like this happen, it makes me MAD. I keep a copy of photographer's rights in my camera bag. All the time.
