  1. Susan: Thanks. And sorry. But thanks. I finally found the ignore feature and put it on there. :crying:
  2. Nope, not even close to alone. :crying:
  3. It's already happening. My mom was on an insurance plan before Medicaid kicked in where they asked her weight (she had gained about five years before then but certainly nowhere like where I was) and they charged her an upcharge for being outside the weight range they wanted.
  4. What is your problem? Seriously? You really should be on meds because you have a major MAJOR mental issue.
  5. It's the fat little doughboy who seems to have nothing else in his life to do other than live the life of pond scum. Oh, and he puts up pictures of his mama too. No wonder he's single. *shudder*
  6. Wow, you are a piece of work. I never said I hate men, YOU did. I never said I blame DH, YOU did. I never said I don't accept responsibility, YOU did. You sound like a woman hater who is just bound and determined to make a dick of yourself, and you succeed mightily. Were you born that way or do you practice in the mirror daily? Fucking troll... blow up your boyfriend and tell it to him.
  7. She won't even be able to give them undivided attention.
  8. No, it's because she's a cuckoo bird! It is NOT HER RIGHT TO FORCE THIS EXPENSE ON THE TAXPAYER!!! What do you not get about this??? If SHE was paying for them all, I say knock yourself out. Once you become beholden to the taxpayer in ANY FASHION, you LOSE your right to not be accountable. Good lord, people can't even keep housefuls of cats or dogs, but you think it's okay to have kids like this when you can't afford them?? I can only hope CPS gets involved and thins her herd and finds these kids some good, loving homes.
  9. Very Alice in Wonderland of you. :crying: She's using these kids to try to fill a need she has. As Dr. Phil said today, kids should not be born with a job to do. Good point.
  10. Um, if you are forcing others to have to come to your rescue INCLUDING the state via money, you do NOT have that right. She is not a Duggar, people who, though I think they're nuts for having so many kids, have made it work without relying on the system. They are there for their kids, seem to have a good working system in their home, and did it the right way. That's like saying I have a right to live in a five-bedroom home and force the taxpayer to pay for it. What kind of insanity are you espousing, Patty??? Oh, and by the way, did YOU at least pay back the money the state paid to you for your irresponsibility? I doubt it... :crying:
  11. Dr. Phil was talking about this case today and had the mom from what's-his-face and Kate plus eight, and she was talking about how hard it was for her with SIX newborns and only two other children. She had a crew of no less than 50 people a WEEK helping out, and the only thing she ever got to herself was 15 minutes a day that she was made to eat her lunch on the patio away from everything so that she could have a few free moments. On Phil they showed the cost of their household -- again, mind you, "only" eight kids -- and they came up with $1.5 million a year. This idiot has six more than that, so you can nearly double that cost. Forget college funds. Ain't gonna happen. That's just the average cost, and frankly, I don't know if it's the first year (i.e. diapers, etc.). OH, and for just the six, it would require 30 hours a day of breastfeeding, an amazing feat no matter who you are.
  12. Don't lump all of us in with this nutcase. I have never done anything like this; I have never done something that has caused me to need services (and I don't mean just lose a job and need unemployment or temporary help -- I mean do something STUPID that REQUIRES the state to HAVE to take care of you). I had student loans, yes, but that's what they were -- LOANS. I paid back over $8,000 in student loans. She will not be paying back the money she is bilking from the state. God did not intend for her to have these children. SHE chose to have these children; and worse yet, she made this choice after proving she can't even take care of the first six. NOBODY has the right to put their wants before the rights of others. Her wants will cost the state dearly. She does NOT have that right, and to do so makes her a bitch in my book -- a spoiled, selfish bitch.
  13. No worries, I'm ignoring the troll.
  14. Wow, that's fantastic!! I'm 3 hours out from lunch and hungry again. :crying:
  15. That's abusive! Omg, what if people lost their jobs (especially these days) for missing work like this for such stupid stuff??
  16. YEP! The blue team rocks, but so does the one green girl.
  17. Yeah, I don't know what it is. Maybe it's some of that weight loss hormonal thing I've heard about. :crying:
  18. Thanks, slim. Are you kidding me??? Letting out due to a possible thunderstorm??? I mean, I went to school in blizzards, with snow drifts up to second-story windows. Now they can't go in the snow or if there's ice. But NOW -- thunderstorms???? I'd be asking somebody to do some 'splainin.
  19. Well, I'm home. The crap may hit the fan tomorrow or Friday, but I don't care at this point. :crying:
  20. I would also think that any prerequisite procedures you did should work towards the operation and not have to be repeated... but find out for sure.
  21. Omg, are there those?? :laugh: I thought if people were diligent and listened to their bodies and really worked the band, we could all hit our sweet spot. Hmmm...
  22. I wish I could, but I start a new 12-week class tonight that will be 3 hours long. Ugh. I think I'm leaving now though. I've had it. If they want to fire me, then fire me. Screw 'em.
  23. No thanks! :crying: I'll pay for a hysterectomy tho...
  24. Now I'm getting yelled at at work by a boss for something I didn't even do wrong -- the golden-haired child (who's not here) did. But she came out and reamed me a new one. I'm about to go home. This is one effed-up day.
  25. I would guess by now (fourth fill on up) they would last longer... I know it's different for each person and also depending on how much each doctor puts in but it's gotta start slowing down at some point.
