Nope. Not bad at all. I refuse to invite my sister's boyfirend/possible future fiancee to my house because the last time he was here he broke up with my sister, lied to everyone about every little thing, and (by far the most serious offense) kept drinking all my rum without my permission. Oh, and he tried to smoke the ditch weed growing wild on our property.
For me, the whole meaning of Christmas is lost when I have to deal with idiots.

I paid $50 for my dress at Sears. Purchased it the day before the wedding. We planned our wedding in a day. I think the total cost was about $400, maybe $500 if you add in dh's shoes and tie, which he wore forever.

Here are mine. They came out sideways. I was 19 and 3 months pregnant. Dh was 22. Dress cost $50 at Sears. I purchased it the day before the wedding.

I think they usually gave the kids small beer, which, like the previous posters stated, contained a lower alcohol content.
I would have done quite well during the Middle Ages;).

I don't know what your dh does, but he could check with Beaver Valley Nuclear Plant. The nuke field is almost always hiring. Plants usually hire tons of extra people before an outage. Just a thought.
:grouphug: and prayers.

Do it! I desperately want pink hair. And a nose ring. And another tat.
You only live once.

Yeah well I want the Russell Crowe gladiator pic back. Taps foot. :glare:
P.S. That first kilt pic somebody posted in that thread was pretty nice too, even if somebody did say he had funny knees! :P
Here's Russell:
And Gerard:
I want IronMan and Aragorn back. :001_smile:And for you (and me;)):

:D Things like this restore my hope in humanity.

I tend to keep everyone home. Just last month ds was invited to a birthday party. He woke up sounding froggy but claimed he felt great. Meanwhile, dd4 started running a fever. I called the other mom and said I though ds just had a slight cold, but dd4 was running a fever. She was fine with having ds over, but I just couldn't let him go. I couldn't imagine ds going over, running around, getting a fever, and spreading all kinds of cooties. Even though ds didn't have a fever, his sister did.
Last year we had to miss our church Christmas program because dd4 was puking. The other kids felt fine, but I just couldn't do it. I'm glad we kept them home because everyone started feeling icky later that day.
I'm not scared of germs. I just hate having to watch my kids suffer through crud just because someone else was inconsiderate. I know kids will pick up cooties in a vacuum, but it just really ticks me off when people intentionally and knowingly bring their sick kids around others.

Dirtywordsdirtywordsdirtywords!
Another mom in our group just sent out an email saying her kids were sick and they wouldn't be able to make it to our group Christmas party today. It really sucks that considerate people have to suffer for people who bring their sick kids everywhere!:cursing:

Cats do that. That's where the expression "a game of cat and mouse" comes from. Dead mouse = end of fun game.
If it's fairly incapacitated, whack it with something. I would not have a cat playing with a mouse all over the place. It would be making a mess everywhere.
Or get that dog. ;)
Just don't get a Lab. My 80lb Lab gets very sad when her toys stop playing with her. Then she looks at you with those puppy dog eyes, and you can't help but feel bad for her. Now, the little 15lb Lhasa Apso will kill anything. And eat it. And bring it to you halfway eaten. Meanwhile the cats are staring at you while you are on top of the counter hyperventilating.

No it's not.
It's a LOT rude.
:D
:iagree:
I have to admit I did (unknowlingly) bring a sick kid to church. Our church has worship before Sunday School. Little dd was cranky (which is totally normal for her), but I didn't think anything of it. During service, she was very clingy. I felt her head and she was burning. Instead of sending her to SS to infect everyone else, we totally got up and walked right out. I felt terrible about bringing her, but when she gets strep her fever just magically appears out of nowhere.
The incident I was griping about was different. During Advent, the church has dinner before Wed. night Advent services. The kids play around, eat together, and goof off before service time. Too many opportunities to spread the cooties.
Thanks everyone for responding. I think I am sufficiently calm enough to deal with this "lady" again today. Hopefully her kids are healthy. If not, I just may lose my Christmas spirit.

:lol: We had TWO cats in the house and neither one would kill their toys.:glare: I didn't want to play with their presents, but they insisted on bringing their little friends to me. Luckily one of our dogs would finish off the poor mice. So, you could add a dog to the mix if you actually want dead presents.
-
I got an early start this year. We started Saturday;). Dh just ordered the kids' presents last night. I still have at least half of my list left. I still have 10 whole days! I don't really have to be done until Christmas Eve.

There aren't that many calories in the booze though.
:D
Priorities. Booze calories take precedence over eggnog calories.

One of my favorites, as someone drops their kid off in the nursery:
'He had a fever this morning, but I gave him some tylenol and it's gone now.' - Uh, no, it isn't. You gave him tylenol. That does NOT mean he's all better!!! :blink:
Or, another one:
'Yeah, she really hasn't been feeling well the last couple days. She'll probably be fussy.' - as she hands me a kid with snot running out of her nose, who wants to do nothing but cry and lay on my shoulder - and who is acting as a heating pad, because she is NOT the temperature of a normal toddler.
Gotta love people... Unfortunately... :glare: :tongue_smilie:
That one gets me every time. Seriously? Do you think Tylenol is like some sort of internal Lysol? Tylenol doesn't kill the germs. Your kid can still spread that crap even though the Tylenol has brought down the fever.
This same woman has brought her kid into PE knowing he felt sick to the stomach. Yep. That kid puked all over.
Sometimes I really hate stupid people.

Fat-free or low-fat egg nog....really? Why?
Duh! To save your calories for the added booze!

Seriously. If you show up to church with a kid who has a fever, that's a little rude. If your kid is noticably sick and someone has to suggest you bring your kid home because a number of other families have just gotten over a variety of illnesses, you should NOT bring that kid to homeschool activities (PE!!!!) the very next day. Also, you should not boss around other people's kids while your fever kid is hanging on everyone.
Lady, this should be common sense. You have repeatedly yelled at the group and demanded that every event be nut-free since one of your kids gets itchy sometimes around nuts. (Yes, I know how serious nut allergies can be, but this 12yo has never had a serious contact reaction, only mild-to-moderate hives with ingestion.)
Yes. I know you probably just want to get out of your house. I get that. But you know what? Sometimes you just have to suck it up and deal with the fact that your kid/kids are sick. We don't want your cooties. We just got rid of our own cooties. You know how we disappeared for 2 weeks? That was because we were sick and didn't want to spread our cooties.
Yes, I know 'tis the season for giving and all that, but keep your d*mn germs to yourself.

This is why I love you guys.

Thank you guys so very much! This means so much to them.

I don't usually do this kind of thing, but I have a friend in need. My friends have been dealing with infertility for years. They have an opportunity to win an IVF cycle. If you feel led, would you please follow this link, click on Michaela & Kyle, watch their story, and vote for them.
Thanks!

My 8yo ds is getting the complete Star Wars on dvd/blu-ray. (This is also kinda for mom and dad as well.) He will also get a nifty Lego set. Ds is pretty easy. You cannot go wrong with either Star Wars or Legos.

I have an 11yo girl. She is phenomenal. Just tonight I took her to church to help me serve drinks and cookies at the church preschool Christmas program. Everyone complimented her on her hard work, clothes, and cheerful attitude.
She is soooooooo not like that at home:glare:.
I have no suggestions. I just wanted to say I KNOW. I too am considering a drastically different approach to schooling, though public school is not an option.
Drinks? I like Pinot Noir, Malbec, and Captain Morgan and Coke;).
I'm praying that we will get along some time in the next 3 years.
