Are you referring to the Kelly Osborne picture? I believe it is actually lavender; you have to see it down.

I've never been athletic, but always thought running might be fun. I decided to try it (on a treadmill, so pseudorunning!) and even as a fatty, I kid you not, I got such an adreneline rush from it that I would almost OBSESS about when I would be able to run that day. :huh: I was shocked, to say the least.

:D

Actually, he's her dad. Maybe that explains it. :huh: ;)

I strongly agree. Timing and paternity/maternity can be a mistake, but the baby as a human being can never be. I know her mother feels the same way, fortunately!

Right, except the post she was responding to WAS about making choices to support a better life, not anyone choosing to be abused, so I'm not sure why she would argue with something that doesn't contradict her intended message. :confused1:

How belittling to all the women who have managed to get out of an abusive relationship, as though their own determination wasn't what ultimately got them on the path to healing. Considering everything these women go through, they have clearly earned the right to take that credit.

Well, she moved back home and has cancelled the engagement (I have yet to hear why)! She is also pregnant. :crying: Her mom is very supportive. I will see them both Sunday. I know I'm jumping ahead here, but I just hope this is a wakeup call for her, and the beginning of a new life. Well, clearly it will be. :( They live in conservative country, with conservative friends. I just hope this will help her grow up and make choices that result in a good life like she deserves.

Cool!!

Doctors are so stupid sometimes. :glare: Keep talking until someone will listen. I'm sure it is something very easy to fix by a trained nurse. You just want to get it done before the antibiotics are done, I would think.Good luck!

Wait, okay. Sometimes, with certain bad smells, the smell is very clearly "green" to me. I wonder if there is anything to that....

I had a friend who heard a different sound associated with each person he met. I guess I kind of thought he was crazy. Now I'm wishing I had a child with some version of this! LOL

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Google "Cornell University house soiling."

Cats can get used to change. If the bathroom will work for you, it may take time for the cat to learn he has to accept the new situation. Commit to it for a month, don't go back in, open the door, or talk to the cat through the door during his bathroom time. Give him toys when he is in there. Reevaluate after a month. Has the cat always peed? Can he go on the porch as a break from the other cat for part of the day?

This is part of why I picked "Mama." It seems more likely that dd will be willing to call me that when she is much older!

I know this isn't a good thing to ask, but since there isn't anything I can say to make it better anyway :( .... Does the new family know you will take her back if they change their minds? I hope your period of grief passes quickly. I feel the worst part of grief is not knowing how long it will last, and not being able to do a dang thing about it. This whole thing is so unfair. :(

Have you ever tried it for an extended period of time, though? I've heard a lot of people say this, and wonder if they gave it maybe a month to see if there is a gradual change. I just don't know what I would do with a child like that!!

One. I yo-yo diet so much, and I don't have the money to spend on a bunch of jeans that I might not wear long (even buying cheap Walmart jeans). I feel bad, but I try not to think about it.

How many different activities are indicated in the book?

Inside of a banana peel. Rub in on twice a day. I had a medication-resistant wart for 12 years. It was smaller within three days, maybe two weeks to make sure it was completely gone. I'm not kidding. :huh:

I did castor oil twice, one week apart. Dd was born with severe meconium aspiration, had been in it for about a week... which was how long it had been since the second time I took the castor oil. She almost died, and had to be transfered to the children's hospital because the NICU ran out of interventions. I didn't get to hold her until she was two days old, and she was hooked to a bunch of wires and tubes. I don't say anything because I hope it wasn't really my fault... but yeah, won't be doing that again. :( OP, it could be up to four more weeks. I'd try to stay distracted and let it go, sorry!

I have all of that except windows that are solid enough to keep out cold. :glare:

This is my fourth year attempting a garden. The first two years, I got two tomatoes from three plants. Last year, animals ate almost everything on the one plant I attempted. I still don't know what to do about what I am almost sure are deer, and now I'm trying to start from seed, when I didn't even have success with already started plants. :(
