I heard on the news that if you have the new PS3 you can take it down to Taco bell and turn it in for free tacos for life.

Can you see all the kids running to do that???

What a beautiful woman! Wish I could have gotten to know her better. Would have love to pick her brain about genealogy. Im into it and I just love working on my family tree.

 I hope you are all doing well.

I would definately speak to the principal about this. This should not be tolerated in ANY state let alone AZ.

You also are doing right about talking to your child about this and finding out how he feels. Maybe ask how he would handle it next time.  See my daughter has been harrassed in school the past two years. One a girl is teasing her about her clothes. She doesnt have the most expensive clothes or top of the line products. She has decent clothes that are not dirty or torn. I have told my daughter that its not about the clothes that makes a person worth anything but whats inside that counts. She has also been told that she is fat. My daughter isnt EVEN fat. She is a perfect size for her age and is quite healthy. I have explained to her that she is not fat and to keep herself from being overwieght that she needs to excercise and to not eat a ton of junk food. As long as she watches what she eats and excersise she will be fine.

Just talk to your children about what is right and wrong. And what goes around comes around. Things are called Karma. It will come back to bite you in the end.

please bare with me and my typing. Just slammed my finger in the door of my truck.

Two years ago my neighbor who was pregnant with her last child was stuck at home due to having precenta previa. She couldnt work cause she was bedridden until her baby was born. She had 3 other children and a verylimited income from her hubby. So I took it upon myself to buy those children a gift or two and a neightbor bought a ham dinner for them. Felt so good to help someone else for a change. I am good friends with them still. They have a healthy baby girl who is 2 yrs old. She ended up being taken to the hospital via ambulance a month later cause she was hemoraging. Her hubbyt came to get me to watch thwm while he fue;ed up his car. He was gonna drive to the hosp. I said no Im calling 911. He finally listened.

 So they have an adorable girl.

Golly! That is so sad. Parents just need to keep an eye on those kids. Cant turn away for a moment.  It just upsets me to no end when parents fail to watch them then whine cause thier kids are hurt or dead. Yes Im sad for the parents but more so for the kids.

We have four dogs. Two are large breeds and two are medium breeds. They are all good with our two kids. We have a Chocolate Lab, A German Shepard, A coyote Mix and a austrailian blue heeler.

We also have one fish. The other three have died in the past month. Last two didnt get along.

Sounds nasty. I dont like anything speramint or wintergreen. Or Cherry for that fact.

Honestly I dont need to take that stuff cause 11 years ago I had a tubal ligation done. So no need for birth control.

Ya know she said she was taking Vicodin for PMS? That bull. Nobody has that bad of PMS where you need a narcodic. Sorry.

Sheesh a pathetic spoiled brat.

My biggest fear and it still bothers me but Im getting better. Moths.

I am so afraid of them because of something that happened when I was a little girl. My parents put in Updux in the ceiling to let out hot air and ventalate the house. If you know what I mean then you will understand. For those you dont know its a screen that you put into your ceiling to ventalate it. Anyways the holes are about the size of a quarter. That night while I was going to sleep the A/C kicked on an the flap opened up letting 50 to 100 moths down into my room and on my face. Shudder the thought.

I have been terrified of them since.

In my line of work I have dealt with alot of drug users and it is amazing how many from different walks of life are high.  I have taken scumbags all the way up to suit and tie guys to the hospital cause they have done something stupid while being high. 

My last shift on Thursday night we got a call for a woman who owns a fancy dancy business up in Payson was sitting in a car in an empty dirt lot. So when I got there the police was there and she was obviously high on something (dont know what it was) and very suicidal. I was the only female there and I was able to comunicate with her somewhat. In the end she was taken to the hospital with superficial wounds to her neck and both wrists and ended up being restrained with leather straps cause she just flipped out. 

Drugs can really mess up people and especially kids dont seem to understand that it is adictive and will end up killing you by either them ODing or doing something stupid like driving high or whatever.  Kids have got to realize that they are not invincible and can died in an instant if they choose to do somethin stupid. Seen it all too much in my line of career.

OH GOOD LUCK!

Will say a prayer for you that you get the job. Let us all know. My hubby has one tomarrow. Pray that he gets it cause my marriage is really suffering and might be ending.

Dear God! How horrible for that child. How could they sleep through something like that. It doesnt matter if the pup did it or the ferret.

I hope those parents are punished severely.
