ADVERTISEMENT Serving Over 20,000 US Medical Transcriptionists Thrivent Lutherans on Line for singles. Posted By: momMT on 2008-04-09 In Reply to: - Sara We just had the hurricanes several years ago here in and I got my power back. I swore I'd never date again! But I went onto Thrivent Lutherans Online to try to find my best friend from grade school, and other high school friends. I just took a look at the singles' board and had to respond to this guy via e mail. I swore if he did not answer, I would never go on an internet site again. Then, he wrote and we e mailed. I gave him the most difficult time! After I gave him my phone number I would not return his calls. Then, when he got me and asked me on a date, I chickened out. It took him a lot of messages and persistence to get me to go on a first date. Well, it's 4 years later and we are a family, including my son and his 2 children who are all the same age and even look a like! Though, I have to admit, those single days might have been lonely but it was much different than now. More freedom, but with a price. Family is tops for me! PS: I always made fun of people who met on line, so did he; so we tell people we met through Thrivent but not on the internet tee hee.

We also got two weeks off at Christmas and one week off for spring break. I think that this is fairly common. We had minimum days every other Wednesday and teacher inservices once a month. This all seems normal to me, but I understand that different places work differently, but I would not find this so strange. With the unemployment rate at 10% where I live I am shocked at the people who DO have a job - poor service, bad attitude, just downright stupid people. If jobs are so hard to come by, why are these people being hired and how do they keep their jobs? I don't think so. What age should we start teaching our children responsibility? I said she forgot her lunch ONCE... Besides, she eats about 2 bites of it anyway, so it's not like she was starved that day. And she had morning and afternoon snack provided by the school. I'm a tough mom, but I'm not about to neglect my children's basic needs. Needing a coat in blizzard type weather... You go from the heated house to heated car, from the heated car to heated school building. No, I do not forget things. I make lists to make sure I never walk out of the house without something I need. I do not have time to be running back and forth for something I forgot, our family has a very tight schedule and return trips home are not an option. If, for some reason I ever do forget something, I'm sure I'll survive and move on wih my day and life. Probably a lot of guys out there like ours. We have a life line you can get through your local hospital probably. She can wear a necklace or a pin. Someone will pick up and ask if you guys need help. You can answer, no we have it now, or yes we need help. It is approximately 40. This is also good when you want to go out and she has to be alone. I have never felt threatened by them, they are not physically with him, I am, all they are are 2D pictures. They might fantasize about it but if the opp every came up I bet 95% would run, I know mine would. If your BF has lots of it though on his computer he may have a problem he won't admit to though. You can always ask him about it but be prepared for him to explode at what he will see as you snooping on his computer, which you appear to be guilty of. I never look on my DHs computer unless he asks me to check or do something on it and he stays away from mine as well. I presume you will have to talk to him about this and I hope it goes okay for you. POST MOVED TO COMPANY BOARD We were matched through eHarmony. We were married last June and he's definitely my perfect match! I can't believe I haven't caught on before that he is jealous. At least now I can find a solution to this problem. I did talk to him about it again tonight in a very respectful and helpful manner and told him not to be embarrassed. He said he just likes to pretend to be a baby again.... My husband isn't home right now, but when he returns later we will discuss this problem. I've had to explain that not everybody's body works like clockwork. How convenient when it does! When I was little I was appalled to hear that some people went every day. I wondered how in the world they could stand to have all that pain and spend 30 minutes in the bathroom every day. I had no idea that normal people didn't take that long or have all that pain that you do if you only go once a week. I am way past the age of caring what I say and whether I would be offending and would have used, probably the F word, yes I do use that when I get that ticked off when he had such nerve as to say something when I was trying to feed my babies. I have never had anyone that rude to state unsolicitated remarks to me regarding them but they would really get an earful if they did. I might be kicked out of the store, oh well.... How they handled Roy Orbison's passing in that video was so tasteful. Okay, you Bob Dylan fans, here's a vid for you. Every year he goes out shopping in the early morning hours to pick up something that's on sale. Me, I'm sound asleep. When he comes back I'll get up and then we'll go shopping later in the morning. It's tradition for us. The first 10-15 years were pretty rough, but these last 10 and esp the last 5 are great -- he's in control, learned to be considerate, etc etc. I agree how bad it is for the children. But our 2 daughters have turned out fine; one married to a wonderful guy with well-raised children of their own, and the other has graduated professional school, working a dream job and going for several years with a great guy. I just don't think you can rubberstamp these marriages as all doomed. The bottom line is the rules. We all have rules. We all have choices. There are consequences to our choices. There were 2 choices of punishment here and, one of which was not corporal, but IMO missing class would hurt your daughter more in the long run. I do think she made the right choice and I also think it was wise to tell her that next time she'll have to miss class. I'm not saying the punishment fits the crime here, but after the fact is too late. It's obvious that you completely understand the above because you are not arguing the unfairness of the punishment, but anxiety over your child. Any good parent would feel that way. I'm just posting this in response to the posts that argue against corporal punishment. I don't agree with it either just for the record. There are laws I don't agree with but guess what? In the real world, I break a law I don't agree with and I get punished. I hope you slept well and all went well today Monday. Please post a followup. BTW, I bet you'd be an AWESOME mom you can adopt me if you want! I just learned that even here in podunk Maine, we can renew on line so long as the last time we had our picture taken it was done in digital format. Since mine was only 4 years ago, it was! I was stoked to say the least. I just logged in to the registry site, punched in my license number, paid with my bank card, and got my new license in the mail in about a week! Same picture as 4 years ago, which is fine by me, and I'm good to go for another 4 years or maybe it's 6 now... Far less traumatic if it's available to you. Or maybe it is and you just like the masochistic punishment of going to the DMV. No need to let something like that drag on. It took me 2 years, but when I least expected it, I finally met the perfect guy and we have now been together 8+ years. Just keep looking, no need to tie yourself down to the first one you meet. Let him know you would like to remain friends. I know about the teenager part. My mother who was 60 at the time told me I was acting like a teenager more after I divorced than I did when I was one. Just have fun and someone right for you will come along. Or even just your grandson? I'm so scared for both of them right now. I have an 11-yo, an 8-yo and an almost 6-yo. The only 1 I ever leave alone is my 11-yo and that's only to run errands in the town we live in. I also make sure that he has my cell phone and I tell the lady next door just in case. I never leave him more than an hour. There's no way I would leave my 8-yo watch my 6-yo. He can't even wipe his own butt, let alone take care of a 6-yo. What are these parents thinking. Saving money is not worth the possible disaster that could happen. I think, no matter how hard it may be, that you need to tell them that they need to get a babysitter for these children. If you don't intervene, something terrible could happen to either 1 of these children. I would probably address this with your son I'm assuming he's in a relationship with the mother of your 6-yo GS. If they refuse to do so, then I would definitely report them to social services. If they threaten to keep your GS from you, you do have rights. You could take them to family court. I know it would be hard to do, but I think it would be even harder if something happened to your GS because you didn't report it. I'll be praying for the safety of these little ones while you sort things out with the parents. I hope nothing happens to them in the meantime. If he offered to share a little or buy me a nice steak from the store, etc. But he should have gotten it, and so it's his, IMO. When I don't want to be disturbed, I just dial my own number and they get a busy signal. They know I'm home but can't be disturbed for one reason or another. If he's truly suicidal then you have to get his doctor involved, I guess, that's a tough one. If you're using your line for the Internet as well then that's another story. Sounds like a desperate situation only a medical professional can deal with and they can only do so much. I think a man-to-man with your husband is in order, if he'll do it. Good luck with it, it must be very hard for you. It sounds like there is verbal abuse and child neglect going on in your home baby hungry and dirty. You might want to watch what you post here as this is now in black and white that you have not been properly taking care of your children. I want to support you, but it doesn't sound like even you the poster are interested in taking care of the children either. If I were you, I'd seek help from social services in your state. Has anyone tried some of these new products by Olay? They appear to be spa facial type products you can do at home. She's teaching her children disrespect for animals, for other people, and, eventually, for her, as well. Keep on feeding the birds, at least YOUR kids will learn to enjoy and appreciate wildlife. I've seen a couple of these. Do not machine wash, do not tumble dry, and do not dry clean. You probably need to vacuum the heck out of it with the crevice tool from your vacuum then maybe you can Fabreze it to death and leave it out in the sun to dry. I wouldn't use it on my own bed if it still has odors of any kind. Get your face right down on it and breathe deep! They're usually used for bedbound patients that are often incontinent. I think I'd still get a mattress pad or cover and put over it, too, even if you do get it fairly clean. Absolutely, no way, no how should a child be humiliated in this way, and a conference is absolutely appropriate. Regarding the issue of tampon use, I'd like to put in my 2 cents. We are all built differently, we all have different tolerances and thresholds of discomfort. For me, I will tell you that I won't go near pads at all. I asked my mom about tampons. She was sure that using them would destroy my virginity and turn me into a wanton woman. My mother is kind of repressed. I've always been extremely independent, and yes, somehat defiant. So, without mother's permission, I used my allowance, went to the drug store and bought my own tampons. In those days, tampons were little more than cotton lollipops. But I preferred them over the icky pads we had back then. I have been using tampons ever since, with is now over 35 years. Tampons have come a very long way. There are many different styles, and for many women, we'd never use pads unless we absolutely had to. I'm 46 with no sign of menopause yet. I've been able to be more active, hiking, swimming, running, etc. I suggest that once your daughter is comfortable with this new stage of her life, you buy an assortment of different tampons. Examine them, read the inserts, let her try some, and maybe she'll actually like them. In the meantime, that teacher needs to be set straight! Surely, in a school that includes swimming as part of a PE program, the issue of menstruating teens has come up before and will again. Everyone needs to get on the same page and have some compassion for the girls. I just added another cell number to my plan too so the kids can take one when they go to practice, friends houses, etc. It's not like I made it up! I worked for othopedic surgeons, and a physical therapist in our office showed me some exercises to do. They help if you are accessible to a physical therapist to be shown the exercises. Also doing physical exercises to strengthen the muscles in my back helps. WSBtv radio station- they have people there during the day hours answering questions- tell them Ms. Glink had topic on the other day about nursing and could you have her website. I myself checked on the website for ThinkGlinkcom and did not find anything about the subject- but call the hospitals and ask if they have schools, find out from financial person at school, just ask them about outside payments for schooling. Step up and go for it! I much prefer cable. Just asking because you said he turns you down, maybe it was a gay chat line. I also like on-line paying because I can set up my payments in advance for the due date when the bills come in and don't forget to send something in. One day my daughter, about 4 years old, asked the waitress about them. If so, can you recommend a free site? Not calling Animal Control because they really are not cruel to their dog. Actually I think the dog should say and Animal Control should take them away. Dogs not tied up and every once in awhile every other day it gets loose and they go running down the road yelling after it. Why they even have a dog I don't understand. They are just fools that don't have any consideration for their neighbors and giving their neigbors some peace and quiet, but thanks for your post. Bout a year ago at a different location we had to call animal control. Neighbors at another place took off for 2 weeks and left their dog alone. We had to have PD come to see if something didn't happen to them inside the house. Come to find out those flaming imbilci! They had a freind look in but the friend showed up twice in two weeks. We offered them free pet sitting if they were planning to go away again. I just read on this site that word has a count function!!! I did not know that. I just spent 89. I am sending it back! © Copyright 2001-09 MTStars.
