Well, I either set a really bad example, or a kinda semi decent one. I'm torn
between these two options. Technically I did something that now that I think
about it, it was really risky and stupid, but I did it for a good reason. I
think. Well, how about you tell me what you think.

First off I would like to say to the people who are sympathetic to aliens in
this country; you should know what I know
I have employeed numerous "Mexican/American" (Mexicans) in the last 10
years, and I can speak from cold hard facts about the things I know and the

Didi called me tonight and we had a great chat.  Can you believe she has no
online access??  She's been in her new home for nearly 2 months now, and for
the moment she & her DH have chosen not to have the 'net there.  It's
killing me, though...I can't stand not being to e-mail ...

So what do you guys think of amending the constitution to allow foreign-born
citizens to serve as president?

Hello, everyone
Some of you may remember me. I used to post here off and on, and last
July posted a message called "How Lenient would you be?" which turned
into a lengthy thread.  My SD (then 17) was behaving like a barbarian

Sssshhhhhh!!!
Right after that post about OS, he drifted off to sleep.  While still
doing his "It's been 7 minutes... 8 minutes..." routine.
As soon as I'm sure he's good and sound asleep, I'll go tell the other

               Ok.. I know I have posted something similar before about
having Adult only bedroom.  I have lightened up a lot on that and the SKs
can come hang out with us if we aren't 'busy' or they can come  snuggle in
the mornings.  Now..  I would really like our office to be ...

Okay, with so much of your help (I clipped so many bits of what you all
suggested, Michelle, Sheila, and others...sorry for the plagiarism, lol), DH
and I have agreed that this letter to SD is a good starting point.
PLEASE help me by editing as you see fit, making suggestions, etc.  ...

YD is going through troubled times. She seems to have a really poor self
image. Though I and others think she's beautiful, she is constantly
comparing herself to her sister or to certain of her friends and she seems
to always find herself wanting.  Her behaviour at home and at ...

It probably does mean that the endtimes are near if I'm starting a thread about
sports.  
I've watched baseball in a limited way all week.  I'm very excited that that
the Red Sox and the Cubs both won.  I'm looking forward to watching the Red Sox

Oh, I am sooooo weirded out right now.
SS came home today in a foul mood.  We all ran to the grocery store, and he
was uncharacteristically pissy about going.  SO ran into the drug store
first to pick up a prescription, SS tells me he had a really bad day.  Well,

Some of you know that our lives have gotten very busy lately.  Here's
what's up with us.
As folks know, Chewy got laid off from his programming job in January,
then went to work as an EMT for a *lot* less pay but a great deal more

Okay, my SS(almost 8) is skinny skinny skinny.  He's a somewhat finicky
eater, and to my mind, way overly concerned for his age about the
nutritional value of whatever he's eating.  We have some history with BM
here that makes me think I need an outside viewpoint on this.

These are curiosity points for me to all of you biomoms who nursed their
babies, after being in this lactation educator program.  (This is not in regard
to any work for my class, this is nosiness on my part generated by the class.)
What was your biggest concern prior to having the ...
