My hubby and I both have baby blues. We always joked when people would ask "Do you think your baby's eyes will stay blue?" I'd say "They better or I'm in a lot of trouble" My mom and dad both have very similarly colored blues too. My hubby swears they're cousins because he thinks I'm a major hick. There is a difference between being a hick and a redneck! A hick is only a hick when they're still i
[quote]Spoken like a true bachelor! [/quote] My thoughts exactly. According to "The Rules" my husband is the woman ;) [quote]I don't care which way He wants to leave it, I just want Him to be CONSISTENT about it, damnit![/quote] I live with 3 guys so the seat is always up. Like you said, consistency is key. I'm guilty of using a lot of these "words". I think one thing that would make it a lot easier on men is if they could grasp the concept that so
[quote]I would be leery for now. After all, the Dalkon shield looked good at first too.[/quote] No comparison Dr. Guy. There was only 1 clinical test done on the Dalkon and that was pregnancy rate only. The Essure has ongoing 5yr observations for all concerns. Unlike Dalkon also, Essure has no part that can foster infection apart from improper procedure. If you have an excellent doctor, there should be no concern there. So far, the risks are far less than the pill. People don't s
The description of the Essure sterilization sounds barbaric - not a good visual! But it's good that women have other options! How is it more barbaric than cutting you, sticking instruments in and cutting you some more?
Just John, sounds more likely that the infection was a result of surgery. You can't get an infection from your own scar tissue and the coils are sterile metal so it's bloody unlikely you'd get an infection from them. You guys were coming from the opposite problem though.
For those of you out there who don't want to be parents ever/ever again, there is a non surgical female option. I recently talked to my doctor about tubal ligation (getting ones tubes tied) and he told me about Essure. It is a procedure where tiny coils are placed into the falopian tubes through the vagina and then the tubes scar around them preventing pregnancy. I checked out the website and even though it is a very new procedure, the results sound really great. A l
My favorite insult recently came from Brad: "Do you swallow your tongue if you aren't concentrating on not doing so?" I also adopted the term "asshat" from JU.
My babysitter and I were talking about this the other day. I can understand the "stranger danger" one but the rest is just upsetting. Whatever happened to childhood silliness. Kids know the difference between what a "monster" does and what they should do. "Cookie Monster" is just that, a monster that gobbles up cookies. Kids know that it is just silliness and find it funny. When all adult forget what it's like to be a kid, all is lost. Luckily there
Wasn't expecting that!
Ciao, I'm off to behave like a child for as long as I can tolerate the cold. Be grateful. Be driven. Be crazy. Amen to that sista'! I think remembering your inner child is the key to true happiness. Dreaming big dreams, being thrilled by the little things (like snow) and telling it like it is. Kids also have huge ups and downs and aren't
Being grateful is a path to happiness...not a roadblock. I agree that counting your blessings (i.e. being grateful) is the path to happiness if you tend to only have moments of gratitude every day. If you tend to spend your days counting your blessing for what you have and being happy with what you have, you don't tend to not look for more thoug
I'm afraid I didn't catch the name of the author or the book but I heard a TV program playing in the background the other day talking about the key to happiness. They talked about the differences in twins when one was a generally happy person and the other wasn't. One phrase stuck with me, "Attitude of gratitude". They were saying that feeling grateful for what you have rather than always wishing you had something else is the key to happiness. I can understand
They are all so beautiful! Like TW said, I can't imagine dealing with 3 Ashley's! Best wishes.
My babies. My biggest baby is 11yrs old so he won't let me refer to him as my baby anymore.

Is it just me or does it seem odd that Mitt is topping the majority of everyone's list? It doesn't for me. It doesn't take into account what a polished appearing politician he is. He seems too good to be true which seems to be making a lot of people very suspicious of him. If it switched Thompson and McCain and Huckabee and Giulian
[quote]Hey, for all he knows you have that excellent record due to other cops letting you off with a warning. [/quote] I told him it was only the 2nd time in my life I had been pulled over. Whether he believed me or not is another thing. I was very respectful, genuine and made a very minor violation. I didn't cry or make excuses. I sure got rewarded! If it ever happens again I'm going to bawl my eyes out ;)
This is my result: 78% Mitt Romney 67% John McCain 65% Fred Thompson 62% Tom Tancredo 61% Mike Huckabee 60% Bill Richardson 56% Rudy Giuliani 51% Chris Dodd 51% Ro
Do you have a PROBLEM READING? You might have a problem staying on this site after this. Nothing to defend yourself as to why to let you keep posting here. Instead you just add another insult. I am only a user so I can only blacklist when someone irks me. The owner of this private site can ban people who irk him. I can't s
Hey...21 years without a ticket is an awesome feat. Thanks. And that wasn't because I didn't drive much. I drive pretty much every single day. I just had bad luck catch up with me I guess. At least it wasn't a car accident. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%
Her "getting choked up" was misinterpretted. She sees potential in our country and was nearly brought to tears at the fact that so many voters are too stupid to vote for her I don't think there is a genuine bone in Hillary's body. She is a power hungry litigator through and through. The fact that she's female makes absolutely no difference to me just as Obama's skin color should count as nothing too.&nb
It really won't be a shock to anyone when she gets put in jail for killing you. He incriminates himself all the time. I have an army of people who would take the stand in my defense <TABLE cellpadding=8 wid
[quote]I guess they're just serious about school-zone safety? [/quote] Probably and I'm okay with that. Thanks for the info about getting it dismissed. I think by the time I got the kids squared away with a sitter went through the hassle of going to court, it would end up not worth it. One thing that irks me is that pretty much all of the other violations that carry the same fine and points were way more dangerous than going 5 over the limit. Oh well, I'll chalk it up as o
It would have been nicer if he just gave you a warning. It sure would have! Actually, the officer was being a jerk by doing that. 5 over? Please. I'm really not sure why he picked me since other cars we
I'm 37 yrs old and just got my first ticket. Was it for doing 100mph down the highway in a sports car? No, it was for going 35mph in a 30mph zone in my mini van. The officer was very nice and looked to be about 10yrs my junior. He asked me if I knew why he pulled me over and I honestly told him I unfortunately did not. He told me I was going 5mph over the limit and asked if I had any tickets on my record. I told him I had a very clean record and then he t
