Oh, please, more of those??? Debating whether I should go or not because I'm in one pisser of a mood. I am thisclose to quitting. No job is worth the mess my new boss is pulling on two of us there. :tt2:

Ohhh la la!! :tt2:

I like tall guys! I'm only 5'7".

I thought you do that if you had a stinky... ah, I get it.

Hehe, I know. I just never cared. :tt2: I would tell DD, I birthed you, I raised you, I pay for you, I'm not having the government or anybody else telling me how to handle you.

Crap, I can't pull this up at work, but: Cops already called twice to octuplet home Video - Breaking News Videos from CNN.com

And here you were disputing the $135,000 a month. :tt2:

Well, I HEAR God mentioned a lot from you, but He certainly doesn't shine through you. He's part of your vocabulary and nothing more.

I bet she'd keep them until they got grey hair and STILL suckle them at her breast. :tt2:

I don't care about controversy or public opinion. They are NOT adults, and as such, are not afforded the same privacy that adults are. They are our responsibility, but society tries to hold us accountable for what they do yet tie our hands in how to do it. This mama never played that game. I would do backpack checks, room checks, checking in with teachers, etc. She was not allowed on the internet in my house except for school, and in the end I found out she was accessing it at friends' houses. One mother even came to me with a bill where our daughters had gotten those "free" cd's in the mail for so many minutes of internet use, but once the time is up it charges to your phone bill. She tried to tell me I owed a couple hundred dollars for that and I said sorry, not my problem. My daughter isn't allowed on the internet in my home. If you aren't watching what they are doing in yours, it's certainly not my problem.

Well, that tells you something right there. She has two boys and they don't even do their OWN yard. Shame on the parents.

Through my church many years ago, DH and I attended a seminar called Raising Kids God's Way. The stuff they said could work for anybody, though, regardless of belief. First off, there are certain chores a child SHOULD do without pay because they are a part of the family. Other things like mowing the lawn, taking out the garbage, etc., can be extras that they EARN money for. The basic premise was that kids should not be paid for being part of the family and partaking in certain activities. Real life doesn't work that way. Also, I don't know how old DS is, but that mouthing off thing? Um, no. Take the goodies away: Ipod, walkman, tv, internet... start with the small stuff and work your way upward. For ANY bad behavior. Kids live for their "stuff." Or, "What was that? You want a ride to the skate park? Um, remember when you..." They rely on us for EVERYthing... the stuff they have, the places they go. If it starts drying up, then what? Liberties can be very rewarding, and very painful to lose if you lose them.

Cattle prods.

Yes, but it took removing her bedroom door, nailing the windows shut, inserting a GPS chip under her skin, weekly urinalysis and lie detector tests, and tying her to a chair when not visibly seen at all times. Other than that, things were fine. :tt2:

So see, you're dropping body fat and gaining muscle. I don't care WHAT Jillian says, I believe that happens. Nothing else can account for people who go down two clothing sizes but stay the same size. Eh, I'd keep it at 124 since you apparently have the BODY of a 124 pound person. How's that?

Nearly 6 feet tall?? Hell, girl, I want YOURS!! Yeah, me bad. Tap is being SUCH a good girl!

I guess PG would call her a horrible mother, then. :sneaky:

Think of it this way, Ebony, would you rather weigh 130 and fit in a 22W or be whatever size you are at and be in a size 8? :sneaky:

And another one: ONLY with my husband and ONLY when drunk. :sneaky:

I say try it with another guy first. If you find that fun and entertaining, then try for another chick. :sneaky:

I would call them and ask what their return/exchange policy is. Sometimes they allow for that. I know that when I have bought big jugs of powder stuff at other places (like Trader Joe's), I asked if I could return it if I couldn't stand it. Speaking of Trader Joe's, I don't know if you have one near you but they have a Protein drink in a can that has HIGH protein. I got a few for my liquid phase before and after my surgery and liked it pretty well. They only had vanilla and chocolate, though it may come in more flavors. It was a bit thick, but the flavor wasn't bad. I don't usually like vanilla drinks, so I would use the vanilla one and flavor it with pumpkin and spices in a blender. It was very good.

unjury sells one that is tasteless. I have added it to Soups before and been very pleased with it. It is simply called "unflavored."

Omg, DITTO!!! :lol: I'm SO bored today... I could use the entertainment. :sneaky:

Personally I'm glad he didn't. He doesn't sound even remotely worthy.

Ooooh, Ebony, I got so caught up in the SMS saga that I missed your news on the smaller size!! WAY TO GO!!!!! *clap clap clap*
