Yes because caring about animals that have no voice is such a terrible thing.

Watergirl news flash if this was a dog people would still give her crap about how she is treating the animal because news flash how she is treating the animal is crap.

This is not a cat issue this is a neglectful owner issue.

Plus its not meddling when you broadcast your laundry on a message board.

ETA: Come to think of it if this was a dog instead of a cat she would be getting more crap then she is now because for some reason people see cats much differently then dogs. Dog is mans (or womans) best friend when a cat is just a little intruder that no one can understand why people love them. Odd.

I read most of the comments on the first page. In some cases parents are just putting kids in meds to make their lives easier. On the other side there are children out there that really need the meds.

I have always been one to really limit sweets, snacks, caffeine etc. My kids have always been on a tight schedule when it came to meal times, they drink a ton of water, no video games etc. Yet my youngest still had an over abundance of energy. It was like he never stopped moving until he almost literally just fell out. He would run in circles, get up running through the house, etc he could not sit still until he passed out somewhere. And no we did try and stop it but it never seemed to do any good. When he went to bed at night he would be up in his room laughing, playing, just having a good ole' time for hours. From about 7:30pm to midnight he was wide awake. About midnight he would pass out then be back awake in about 2 hours and cycle like that and be up and running ready to go at 6am. He did not take naps during the day and just wide out all day long. We cycled like this for a long long time.

When he started school he teachers noticed this same type behavior. I resisted for a long long time until a few things happened. Teachers were afraid to hold paper for him to practice cutting because he would not or could not concentrate on what he was doing. More than once he almost cut one of his teachers because he was not paying attention to what was happening. Then I was called and told that my son had gotten up from rest time and took off running and literally ran over a sleeping little girl because of he just wild out. This is when we really started talking about him seeing a doctor.

I filled out a questionnaire of behaviors as did the teachers and we took all the data to a doctor (his doctor) to evaluate. In the end of it all he was dxed as being ADHD.

The meds help quite a bit but not totally but he is better.

We have 6 computers in the house. 4 use XP, 1 is a mac laptop, 1 is a new HP laptop with Vista. When I first ordered my laptop I was really worried about Vista because of stuff that I had heard about it. But i ordered this computer anyways knowing that Vista was one it.

I have had this laptop since Jan (granted not an awfully long time) and I have had no issues with Vista. Start up is great, no lag in opening programs, etc.

My XP computers always seem to have a lag, start up is not great, always seem to crash etc.

The mac I have only used once. I just do not like the programs, OS or layout of that computer.

at 6pm I got a text alert from local news station House pass stimulus plan. I guess it still has to go through the Senate?

i have tried to use nair in the past a few times and got nasty chemical burns. Veet does the same to my legs.

i shave my legs once a week on a great week, every other week on a good week, sometimes even longer than that. i wear long pants/jeans 98% of the time so shaving seems like a huge waste. Hubs never complains.

Thank you Christie i will show that to hubby when he gets home.

check your manual. I have 3 places where there are fuses. 1 is under the hood. There are 2 inside the car; one when you open the door (both drivers and passenger) its on the side of the dash board.

Thank you everyone for the different point of views. I can see that more or less this is something in my own head. I have never been one to worry what others think of me so it was unnerving to feel this way. So last night I cracked up a math book (college level) and started practicing it.

 One last question, how do you feel about Mexican Restuarnt foods? Surely someone is atleast a little afraid of them? Thank you everyone again, you are all a huge help!

I have heard of people that don't like Mexican food, but afraid is something I have never heard anyone say before. What about it are you afraid of?

I know my hubby became very ill this Christmas Eve (still in tons of pain) and had to go to the ER. We were able to get that filled on Christmas Eve I just had to be ack to where we dropped it off by 5pm (they closed at 6). I am glad most stores are closed 1/2 day on the Eve and full day day of because that means ,unlike thanksgiving, my husband got to spend that day with family.

Work my schedule and see how possible it is.

My biggest fear is when the stores open, tomorrow, I still won't be able to get to them until at least Monday.  So I'm going a week without getting to grocery shop.  I don't keep a bunch of boxed goodies in the cabinets.  We rely on fresh foods, so we're shopping several times a week.

I understand you work long hours but 1) why can't hubby do some shopping for food 2) there are no 24 hour stores you can pick a few things up from after work.

I don't like wearing undies and I only wear them during a certain time of the month. Bras I only wear when going out in public. The only other times I wore undies all the time was when I was pregnant.

First off I agree with PG is post 9. Can you really trust a guy who has already proven himself to be unfaithful?

Everything this guy has already told you every guy says when he wants to get a little on the side. So I will just tell you know: He will never leave in the girlfriend, he will never be with you forever, and chances are if you ever get pregnant by this guy he will do the same to you. Cut ties and get out now.

BTW I am surprised the girlfriend is still with this loser if she knows he is sleeping with you. Kid or not pregnant or not my guy would be booted if he even attempted that.

Goth that was how I dressed as a teen. Now I still dress like that but very subdued and not all the time. A few months we went and visited my ex step mom. I was wearing a tight black AC/DC shirt, black jeans, my chain wallet and my earrings. My ex step sister was like "OMG your goth?" Me and my ex step mom looked at each other like she was crazy. I have dressed in straight black with piercings and chain wallet for at least 11 years. Where the heck has she been (she is 16).

Nomo yes in my opinion goth and vampire is different. I know someone saving up right now to get fangs done. Plus she has a kick butt vamp bite tat.
