    So, when is enough, enough-high risk pregnancy?

    From the people I've spoken to personally, they don't want to adopt because they want a child of their own. Seriously. I guess their genes are just so wonderful they can't love anyone else who doesn't share DNA with them.

    Have you ever been fingerprinted?

    I had to be fingerprinted to get my original (and to renew/upgrade to a lifetime) Concealed Carry Permit. I guess that could qualify as a job need since I get to carry on the job too. I don't remember if I had to get my prints ran when I got licensed as a teacher, although I did have to pay...

    Mismatched socks

    I wear boots a lot with my dress pants during the winter, and if I have on boots, most likely I will have mismatched socks on. I don't do it to be cool:) I just hate matching up my socks! From the dryer they just get thrown into a drawer, and I just grab a couple and put them on. It's also...

    What language did your child take in High school?

    I would imagine the school would love to have a Latin teacher since there are so few of them! We were so happy the Latin teacher at our school didn't retire until DD and her friends graduated because we were worried they wouldn't be able to find another teacher. We were thrilled when the...

    What language did your child take in High school?

    Both of my kids had four years of Latin, and they still use it occasionally to say witty things. Plus a knowledge of Latin helps with understanding romance languages since the romance languages are Latin-based. DD also took two years of German in HS, just because. I found this funny since...

    OT - Hernia surgery recovery

    One more tip: Take stool softeners. The pressure on your abdominal muscles is intense if you don't, plus the anesthesia and pain meds tend to make people constipated. And have a pillow handy to press against your abdomen if you have to sneeze or cough, or laugh too hard. Don't read...

    So tired of the drama - vent (long)

    I have always said I don't want to support any children that I didn't get the pleasure of making.

    OT - Hernia surgery recovery

    How extensive is your hernia? Tomorrow is 6 weeks since I had "abdominal wall reconstruction with separation of components" to repair a ginormous incisional hernia that went from just above my navel to almost the bikini line. It was truly ginormous!! I didn't get mesh. They split the...

    Free ringtones for Virgin Mobile anywhere?

    Phonezoo.com The ringtones are sent to your phone via text message, and it's easy to add them to your phone once you receive the message. I used this several times when I had Virgin, and have also used it for Verizon.

    So tired of the drama - vent (long)

    Since the taxpayers are supporting this child, through welfare, mom doesn't get a choice. Since she can't support the child without the help of the public, she is required to give the father's name. If she doesn't want to name him as the father, she needs to pay back all the welfare benefits...

    So tired of the drama - vent (long)

    Because children being supported by their parents is in the best interests of the child and the community. The county prosecutor or district attorney has a division set up for child support. They don't handle visitation and custody, but the parent(s) can request those issues be addressed by...

    Butt Bling

    IMO, words across the butt are only appropriate for someone between the ages of 16/17 and 25. Any younger, and it's skeevy, and any older and it's a sad and pathetic, seeing an adult who doesn't want to be an adult. For rhinestones across the butt, up to age 25. Again, once a woman is an...

    This is disgusting to me.

    So tired of the drama - vent (long)

    Back child support would only be ordered if mom and the child were on welfare, and therefore Josh would be required to reimburse the state. If she had not received welfare, he would only be obligated to support the child, once he is proven to be the father, from the point of the filing for...

    Oldest clothing

    Mine is a UCLA sweatshirt, given to me by a boyfriend in 1984, so it's almost 27 years old now. I don't wear it often, but it makes me smile when I do slip it on. He had graduated from there, and wanted me to transfer there to finish my bachelor's degree.

    So tired of the drama - vent (long)

    Wait a second. If Josh has never been legally ordered to pay child support, he is not a deadbeat father. Since he and the child's mother were not married when this child was born, he has no obligation to pay until a child support order is entered. Further, unless he signed the acknowledgment...

    Sex offender 3 houses away

    :grouphug: :hug: The sex offenders I know can be some of the nicest people you'd ever talk to. I've been in their homes and have talked to them while they're in our office for their appointments with their probation officer. The assessment tools we use to classify offenders as low, medium...

    Will You Ever Watch A Poorly Reviewed Movie?

    I've watched a lot of movies that the "experts" panned, and laughed my butt off at many of them. Would I watch them over and over? Probably not, but to see it once, if it's funny, definitely. Some movies I will watch again and again. True Lies is one of them. I don't know why, but it's...

    Another Trueblood thread (didn't want to hijack!)--actually genealogy

    I have never watched the show True Blood. I don't get Showtime, or HBO, or whatever channel it's on. I get so excited, however, every time I see a thread or something about this show, and it always ends up disappointing me. See, I do genealogy, and I'm a Trueblood descendant. I think...

    Tent camping

    I'm :scared1: at a $500 tent, especially for people who don't even know if they'll use it more than the first trip! I bought mine from Target for less than $100 20 years ago, and it's still going strong. Well, it would be going strong if I still took it with us. A few years ago, I decided I...
