I understand. I have not seen or spoke to my mother in almost 10 years. Although I don't think she wrote horrible things about me she did say them. All untrue and painted her the victim. She was a pregnant 17 year old who blamed me for ruining her life and she never let me forget it. The things she said about me and to me were crazy. She went out of her way to let people know how awful I was and some believed her and some though she was crazy.

We did valium from the vet.

Linda's Low Carb site Big Mac in a Bowl, Whopper in a Bowl. Bag of chicken tenders, 2 blocks cream cheese, s&p, cayenne cook until meat shreds.

Thank you.

I'd love to know what yoga dvd you are using. I tried yoga and it was sad :)

Thanks for the info. I just ordered it and hope it makes a difference for me.

And this is the problem. It most likely started out with teens playing pranks but now people dressed as clowns are committing real crimes.

Are you skimming the foam from using the blender? I've had to skim lots of foam when I use the blender. I heat the sauce and reduce till it thickens and then can hot jars/hot sauce.

Speedy Gonzalas(sp) maybe from the 70's I was born in '67 and remember it from a cartoon from my childhood.

She was married to a lying abuser so she should remain single the rest of her life? No. Basically continue to to suffer by being alone because you picked a jerk the first time. No.

Gossip? It is a news article we discuss those all the time here.

Agreed!

I grew up on a farm and we'd use pig medicine for ring worm. Clears it up really quick.

About the age difference. Our little neighbor girl is 5 years younger than my youngest. For many years when my youngest was 10/11+ and neighbor girl was 5/6+ she was at my house daily. On a Saturday she'd be here 7 or 8 hours playing games with my dd. We'd take her places with us for years. There were no other kids around (we live extremely rural). We are not creepy child molesters she was just lonely to be with other kids and we allowed her to go with us places and be here. My other 3 dd's were a lot older than her.

I'm on the HS board today feeling a little panicky about my children. Reading this has helped me calm down a bit. Thank you.

I only want Velvetta in this and other like recipes. Real good quality cheese doesn't taste right imo in them. Otherwise I don't touch processed cheese.

How about don't be rude or sing in someones ear which btw I find rude. Come to work and be professional. Someone singing and bopping around would annoy the shit out of me. I'd not mention the dancing but I would complain to the dentist about the singing. I can barely tolerate my kids singing all the time and have to bite my tongue not to rain on their parade but the dental hygienist in my ear no way.

I make my next appointment while paying. As for the chit chat I know the girl who cuts my hair and we talk about our kids, husbands and such. I like getting out and talking with her.

Me too. I go every 4 weeks.

You actually made me laugh out loud :) Yeah I'm dead, but I still want to be a controlling bitch from the grave (or no grave because I've been cremated) lol

Responding to Marbel also as I cannot multi quote. I just have a lot of crazy backstory and have no relationship with our families. Lots of pill popping, alcoholism and untreated mental illness. We left that lifestyle and never looked back. I do not want any of them causing a ruckus for my dh and children. An example would be a fist fight and then someone pulling a gun and firing it. Happened EVERY holiday in dh's family. Every holiday. My kids have never seen it because we left the area and never took them back. I could write a novel on things I witnessed or had said to me as a child. Scarily dh had it worse. We keep it hidden and we managed to become totally normal upstanding middle class people. Who work and don't drink or drug. Nope don't let them know I died they'd want stuff and they'd make a scene.

I cannot even begin to imagine my dh or children disrespecting my wishes in such a manner. Wow.

This is why I will not have mil around if my dh passes before me. The dramatics. What I witnessed after my bil died was horrible. Not just a mothers grief, but a crazy lady who was so jealous that my sil was getting attention because her husband had just suddenly without warning died. I'll never forget my sil who was basically catatonic telling mil she would gladly trade places with her (meaning mil getting all the attention instead of sil). Friends of my bil/sil sat quietly (slack jawed) over mil behavior. It was all about attention for herself and nothing to do with her dead son or his poor children who had to witness her antics. Nope she will not be informed when my dh passes.

Me too. DO NOT spend our hard earned money or life insurance money on a funeral. Absolutely not. I want my dh/children to have that money for wants or needs. I will not line the funeral homes pockets. I want to cremated the cheapest way possible. Same for dh.

Agreed.
