I have come to hate FB for that very reason. My girls have had to look at pictures of dance team members getting together without them all summer and I know how much the lack of invite hurts over the actual missing of the party. :grouphug:
Facebook is like high school all over again. I have quietly unfriended 'friends' who do this as adults.

One with a butler who has a tray with a goblet of red wine ready the moment I walk though the door. And maybe some sort of gizmo, like a bark collar, that silences the kids as they enter so I can drift off to my library (with floor to ceiling books) and sip and read in peace..... :)

98% of the time we wear them under something. The girls can wear them alone (oldest with a bra) when they are at gymnastics. There were a few days this summer that I allowed them to wear them alone. We hit 110 or something close to it, and we always have HIGH humidity.

Peninsula School District Superintendent Chuck Cuzzetto told KSDK.com that Rosi displayed "inappropriate classroom management," but the district decided against firing the teacher because of Rosi's body of work over an 18-year teaching career.
Wonder how many other kids he abused during that time. I hope they start coming out of the woodwork.

:iagree: people who have never lived near or below the poverty line don't understand. People who have had the good fortune to pull themselves up from there often can't understand those who don't have the skills, know-how, health, etc., to pull themselves out. There is no magic formula that everyone can follow. Our country depends on having low-paid, unskilled and semi-skilled workers. Many of these people cannot escape their income level and will always have huge levels of stress permeate their lives because of a lack of money for good foods, healthcare, paying bills, etc.
That bolded part--I have heard from several places that soon there will be a major shortage of blue collar and trade jobs, such as plumbers, carpenters, etc. because everyone should 'go to college'. Our country is almost like Vietnam. People who work in the fields there wear long sleeves and long pants because if you have a suntan, it indicates that you are lower class. Everybody wants to be part of the upper class, but we need the blue collar to support the upper class. Somebody has to build the mansions ;)

70% of you make more than we do. I am officially depressed for the evening. This is with me working weekends, plus dh's full-time work. Ugh.
:grouphug:
Just remember the cost of living, hon. If we lived in some places, our comfortable mid-west income wouldn't pay for housing. The DC area, San Francisco, and, I believe Boston, are very expensive areas. And we would starve.

I always type it wrong. It was kerfuffle. She said it correctly.
-
I had never heard that word outside of here. A reporter on PBS, while talking about the RNC said something about the KERFLUFFLE in the party.
FTR, I watched a whole 30-60 seconds of it. :tongue_smilie:

We would love to take a week's vacation, but he and I are both only children and our parents are all gone, so we have nobody to watch the kids. So I think we're taking a family vacation. :tongue_smilie: Isn't that special? Something we do every year anyway.

When the kids were younger I wore a flat band with some small diamonds in it, which we bought in St. Thomas. I think it is a 'man's' band. But I loved it. Now, I'm am wearing the wedding set. It is a 3 piece set. The jackets are gold and have baguettes that surround the diamond, which is a half carat, I think. I looked for a picture that was similar, but I couldn't find one. 2 jackets seems to be less common.

I don't do dirt. But clutter? Meh.....we all lilke our stuff here more than we like putting it back. And we all like to start 1,000 projects at a time.
This is us. Dirty dishes sitting around are NOT tolerated, just as muddy shoes, etc. Dust? well, you CAN write your name on the TV console. And on the TV screen probably. Paper clutter is everywhere. I homeschool, for goodness sakes! I always have papers to 'grade', planning, and curriculums to look through. ;)

To me, it would completly depend on what kind of nurse she is.
This is what I was thinking. Is she on the orthopedic floor? Not too many germs there. Well, aside from the normal stuff. Also, scrubs are available at the hospital if there is an accident of some sort involving fluids, so depending on the floor, she has no more germs than she would working in an office all day. Maybe even less!

The boys can play boy things together, but your daughter has no one to do 'girl things' with. Does he really want her polishing the boys' fingernails?

Keens. Super comfy and not as ugly as walking around in sneakers...which seriously do not go with anything except workout clothes. Click on the link for women's shoes.

Chacos are good, but I can't wear them. Their arch is too high for me. My daughters, however LOVE their chacos.

I think I would be upset if they were just guests, but these were her in-laws, right? So I am guessing older and what not. I just found this whole thing very rude.
Sorry, that's just me. I have had in-laws visiting with weird eating patterns, but I chalked that up to them having been deprived as young (seriously).
But have you had relatives sneak your food into their suitcases and take it home with them? That is what her IL did.
I certainly don't mind feeding my guests. And feeding them a lot! And I don't mind them taking some leftovers or samples home with them. But to sneak a bunch of <insert item> into their suitcase and take it home, well. That's a whole different story.
Oh, and they know they are expensive. They were telling her where to buy them cheaper. So they know what they took.
:001_smile: Because my daughter wants me to put a smiley face here.

Goodwill. I replaced the jeans more than the shirts, because shirts can hang longer than the jeans can. But I was able to get 4 or 5 pair of jeans at goodwill for under $60, and keep myself clothed AND not have to do laundry every day.

Yes, but is that conclusive evidence? The testimony of his competitors when there is no forensic evidence to link him to doping?
Also, if they are accused, why are they not charging them with all this? They are only going after Armstrong.
-
From the letter his attorney sent to the USADA:
Although alleging a long-running and wide-ranging conspiracy involving four teams, USADA charged only one rider: Mr. Armstrong. USADA claims ten cyclists as well as team employees, and and blood collections from r. Armstrong in 2009 and 2010, will support the charges. USADA, however, failed to name any of the witnesses upon which it professes to rely or provide any evidence supporting it's apparent interpretation of the blood values...Consistent with Mr. Armstrong's rights under Section 11 of the USADA Protocol, we requested from SADA the evidence that should have been included in USADA's submission to the Review Board...In addition, Mr. Armstrong asked for USADA to identify any lies that it believes Mr. Armstrong told to a USADA or CAS panel or other such evidence that would be necessary to justify USADA's otherwise completely unjustified attempt to allege conduct....
General Counsel Bock's response letter did little more than personally attack Mr. Armstrong...boasting that the USADA had an overwhelming case...'there was no point in USADA meeting with Mr. Armstrong because he continues to insist that he has never doped,' contending that Mr. Armstrong's request for witness identities is a transparent attempt to further bully and intimidate them.
So, they are making accusations, claiiming to have evidence and not allowing him or his counsel to see that evidence in order to defend himself.
Even if he is guilty, actions like the above actually are helping to SUPPORT Armstrong.

Keeping things calm is important, and it reminds me of one of my more shining moments as a parent. One of those 'there goes the mother of year award' moments.
One day DD was poking herself with a pencil. She had jeans on, and it wasn't a sharp pencil, so I wasn't overly concerned. But, instead of making a scene, asking her why she wanted to hurt herself, and so on, as I usually do, I walked past her and said 'Please don't do that, I really don't have time to take you to the ER today'. And I said it very calmly. And she stopped. She totally Stopped!!! So now, whenever I see her hitting, pinching or poking herself, I have stopped overreacting or overfocusing. Now I just tell her to stop, and she usually does.

The inspection isn't performed the day you look at the house. We bought a house that had the water off. It was owned by HUD and we had the water turned on for the inspection.
DH & I are hoping to move in the next year, so I asked him about this. He said if the water was turned off in a house that we liked, it wouldn't much matter because we would be doing a second walk-thru, and if the water was STILL turned off, then we would inquire. If we decided that we wanted that house, we might further inquire, and we will ALWAYS have an inspection. It would definitely NOT be a deal-breaker for us.

Noticing that you have an aspie, mine has PDD-NOS, which is on the spectrum but not really aspie. But along with that, she has some sensory processing issues, movement/coordination issues (she's clumsy) and fine motor skills.
Over the past 2 years, we've been able to diagnose some of the things that trigger frustration for her and then work on those things and coping skills, things improved quite a bit.
She's also on prozac for anxiety and depression, but that's a whole 'nuther can of worms. :glare:

My 7-year-old son acts like that if he has artificial dye. I highly recommend cutting all dye from her diet and seeing if it makes a difference!

Red 40 and yellow sends our daughter into rages. Omega oils also help.

And DH wonders why I was happy to see my spine X-Ray. The bottom of my spine goes like this: \ PROOF! I am NOT crazy! My back really IS mucked up!!!!! :glare::glare:
Please note, DH NEVER doubted me. Which is why he wondered why I was so thrilled.
