In this cold midwest weather I'd In the summer, especially if we were already outside, I'd .

Any further update on your friend /sister's friend?

This is great advice and so true. If she thinks that she is dumb and can't learn Spanish, it will become a self-fulfilling prophesy. I'd use the tutor if she is willing to help and you can afford it.

I agree with Sarah and I think that her advice is biblical.

I have no help to give...I'm a slob as well. I didn't use to be a slob. I remember my clean apartment when I lived by myself. I used to wash and change my bedding once a week. I washed my bathroom and kitchen till they sparkled and they still looked clean the next time I went to clean them. Now with 3 dss and a dh, the place is always a mess. :( I know that one day my house will be clean again but oh so quiet.

My brother went to the NIU service last night with another brother's fiance. Andrea knows a girl who was sheilded from a bullet by her boyfriend. I believe that boyfriend was killed, not sure, but he was at least shot. They found comfort just being with each other and having the freedom to grieve and talk. It is going to take quite a while for them to process what has happened and feel "safe" again. I liked the Martin Luther King Jr. story. I wouldn't force it but if there is an appropriate time, share it. They may not even be thinking about forgiveness at this time but it will come up.

I'll have to remember this quote. I have one ds who can talk your arm off - litterally! ;)

I have to agree! She looked fine, even nice in the movie clips, but on the red carpet - yuk!

Very interesting. It made me wonder if there is something about face structure that makes us think that someone is beautiful. At first, I couldn't tell if it was one person in different poses or if they were switching people. It didn't take long until I figured it out. :) Thanks for sharing.

My boys came running when they heard the music so I had to play it again and again. It was fun!

By that short story, it didn't even sound like the money was in HIS account just that his name was the same signatory name that was on the trust account.

I don't know if it was my favorite but I had a crush on Speed Racer!!!! (sigh....) ;)

I have a double major in English Lit and French with almost a minor in Family Studies. One year I took one Masters level course and decided that I really didn't want to continue. :o

Yes, He seemed so intense and intent on finding Ben for it to all be about money and yet we already saw him stealing money from the deceased grandson of that one woman the other week. It looked like drug money to me, yet he stole it and took money from her to exercise the ghost. He is just weird at this point. I'm sure we will learn more about his story in the coming weeks.

Hmmmmm Very interesting Kelly. It could explain why Jack is such a mess off the Island.

It doesn't disturb the birds to have big human faces staring at them through the window? Or do you still kind of peek when you look at them? I love this idea but am curious on how it really works.

When I first heard Kate say that to Jack, I thought, "He doesn't want to see the baby because it is Sawyer's". That was blown out of the water though at the end of the show when she called the baby Aaron. Did Aaron look kind-of strange to any of you? I need to rewatch it on ABC.com.

My 8 yods and 10 yods both clip their nails. My 10 yo is better at it then his younger brother. Luckily for the 8 yo his nails grow very slowly.

Thought I'd add that I'm (my computer access) slow too and I'm (my computer access) usually fast. :rolleyes:

The problem with them staying on the Island is that all the mothers die. Babies too? Can't remember that clearly but that is why Julia is on the island and why they wanted all the pregnant women. Where are the rest of the others? We haven't seen them lately. I know that some were shot but not all and not the women.

I don't think that Ben is rescued at all. He seems to have a way of getting back and forth which is why he has all that money and those different passports. If it is 6 plus one, I think that the one would be Desmond. He is already on the helicopter and we know the helicopter makes it because Sayid is on it too.

Yeah, a success story!!! Way to go! :D

Just wanted to add my congratulations. It is nice when you learn that what you are doing is working, matters, and makes a positive difference for your children. Way to go!

I don't wake up much anymore but when I did, I would go on the computer, talk to my friend in Singapore, or pray.

Right after I had my first baby, I had to have my cat put down. The vet thought she had cancer of the kidneys and it would have cost $600 just to find out. We couldn't keep her because she was peeing all over our bed every day. I felt so bad because I felt like I was replacing her for a baby. It was the best thing for her though. I'm sorry you are having to make such a difficult decision. :(
