my parents said "oh you wouldn't do that" referring to letting ds quit school, move out...aka...ruin his life. you betcha i would. it reminds me of when he was 2 years old and we had a wood burning stove. i kept telling him "don't touch" and he kept on going towards it like he was going to touch it. finally i said "ok go ahead touch it". he did, he cried, he got a blister on his finger. he never touched it again. motherhood is ever so hard. give me back the days when drawing on the walls, cutting their own hair etc... was the problem. :redbeathe(((((((tazzi))))))):redbeathe

dd moved into her new home last july. as soon as they moved in they began getting summons on the door for the son of the former owners. they complained to the sheriff's office numerous times and finally they quit after about a month. it was for bad debts. seems this kid is in trouble again for dui, skipping probation, etc...he is still giving out his old address as his current address. so the summons started up again but this time the sheriff's officers are knocking on the door at all hours and waking the kids up, accusing them of hiding him, etc...9 times just this week. dd went to the sheriff's dept with the closing papers from her home, his current address (which she had no trouble finding) and a copy of his my space page on where he includes his mug shot. she also called his parents who were most uncooperative. dd was so fed up that she called a local news channel and they want to put this story on tv. they interviewed her yesterday. no word yet on when it will air. the news channel said the reason they (sheriff) cannot go to his current address (which is his parents home) is because that would be considered harrassment since he's not listed that as his current address. so....it's ok to harrass a family that doesn't even know him. now that's really messed up, eh? i was alittle afraid for her putting it on tv but she's determined to make it stop. today all of the doors get re-keyed.

what a little cutie pa too te! i wish i could reach in and hug her. precious, just precious...

:redbeathetazzi, i am so sorry to hear about what you're going through with your daughter. although it will be hard to do i'd be showing her that it doesn't bother you, let her see you making plans to change her room. tell her "it's ok, leave, i'm soooo over it" and be pleasant. in other words reverse psychology. if she still leaves then she will be attending the school of hard knocks. sometimes that the only way they can learn. god bless :heartbeat

yucky...yucky...i'm feeling bad today. woke up the a headache, by the time i got to work i had diarrhea and stomach pains. checked my temp it was 100.2 i said i'm outta here. came home and slept from 11:00 to 5:00. apparently this crud is going around the hospital. i told ds "do not drink out of any of my drinks", he has a bad habit of that. well, went downstairs and fixed myself a diet soda...drank half...went to the bathroom and who do you suppose was drinking it? i told him "you were fairly warned bud". i hear this lasts 2 days. :mad: my dear little grandson who is 30 months old does not talk yet. i wasn't worried because my ds, my db, my df all didn't talk till they were almost 4 but then began talking sentences. my dd and sil had an evaluation with dear little grandson today. they were told that he is very smart for his age and therefore does not qualify for speak therapy through the state. my ds, db and df have high iq's as well. he tries so hard to talk but can't seem to figure out how to make his sounds into words. what worked with ds was putting him in preschool and within 2 weeks he began talking. he needs to be with other children his age who he can see and hear talking. he's on a list for a church preschool.

yeah, you're right....mercy was making quite a spectical of herself, eh?

did you guys see sabby on the news yesterday? she was dressed like a squirrel, in washington dc of all places, sitting by a bench in front of the capital sitting up begging for peanuts. i heard senator obama stopped by to give you a pat on the head.

if that's what you want then i say go for it! i had a housekeeper once a week for several months. i didn't mind spending the extra money because i was making extra money but i stopped because i couldn't find anyone to do it well enough to suit me. granted i'm not a good housekeeper myself but if i pay someone i expect them to do a good job.

i spend $1.00 a week on lotto. i figure my chances are just as good with one ticket since i'm not winning anyway...but the gambler in me has to have one per week. occasionally i buy scratch offs. i seem to do better with them. i usually break even.

:icon_hug: i am sorry angie. i can feel your pain through your words. can you get a script for a generic antidepressant and get it filled at wally world for $4 ? going cold-turkey off of an antidepressant is not a good thing. as for me, if i don't get any help, i don't give any help. in other words. do your own laundry, fix your own food, keep your own little area clean...let the others fend for themselves. :twocents:

medic was all excited...she was learning to birth babies. she found out there was a woman coming to the er in a taxi who was in full-blown labor. she ran down to the er...swung up the cab door hopped in and said "take your panties off so i can check you"....um oh...she realized this wasn't the right cab and this patient was not pregnant. slow down medic...don't get so overly excited!
