Mattel Recalling More Chinese-Made Toys

Seems they are recalling alot of toys that have magnets in them due to the magnets or the lead paint.

What is with China??? Are they trying to kill us??? I found this on www.azfamily.com

Oh good question Raine!

 I feel my parents even tho they are my adoptive parents did the best that they could have. My Dad worked all my life at First Interstate Bank. My Mother stayed home to raise me and my big brother Kelly. 

I think my Mom should have not been so protective of me. I was totally sheltered. Which drove me nuts. I was a good kid but I was limited on things I could do.

One good thing they taught me was that money isnt everything. I never had the expensive shoes or clothing. I shopped at K-mart. Being raised like that makes me appreciate the stuff I have and I dont care about having the most expensive things. I dont care to have the top of the line car. My 1988 Chevy Camaro is just fine for me.  I dont have the big ole diamond on my wedding ring cause I dont like it. Gross. I am trying to get my kids to understand the same philosophy as I had. They understand that you have to work for what they want.

My parents tried thier best. My brother didnt make things any easier. He was hyper and walked the fine line between life and death and he fell on Sept 1st, 1988. So my parents had to deal with the death of a second child. And deal with me and my emotions. Tho I kept all my feelings bottled up and in the end that nearly cost me my life. I can close to hanging myself. Nothing my parents did right or wrong then. It was my fault for not talking. But I saved myself. Never again did I try that. 

Another mistake on my parents part was not telling me sooner in my life that I was adopted. They waited unti I was 19 yrs old and married. I dont think it was right BUT I understand why they did it. My brother was told that he was adopted and my Brother was very resentful.

I saw this on the news today. I cant believe that this woman would do this. Just doesnt make sense. Must be a power trip they are on.

I hope they hang her. Shame on her for abusing her child. Certain people just should not breed.

Thanks.

I hope he enjoys it as time goes on. But if not then I wont hold it against him. At least he is giving it a try. I picked it for him cause he needs abit of self esteem building and so forth. Hope it works.

Thanks all.

He so far is excited in the two days he has been there. So far its just talkin and getting to know everyone. I cant wait till he gets his uniform. As soon as he does Im gonna take him down to the photo place and have his picture professionally done. I will take a pic with my cellphone and post it here.

I know this will help him cause he has been harrassed so much over the past few years. That is why I moved both my kids out of that school. Good thing I did or he'd never be in this program. JrROTC is at a local High school and he feels so grown up ya hes in 9th grade but he is riding the bus with high school kids. 

Cant wait to see what else they will be doing. I remember this program when I was a kid but I didnt know much about it then. Still dont but it will be a learning experience for the both of us.

Ya this is a tough question.

I have talked to my daughter about this and that now that she has her menstral cycles that the chances of getting pregnant is great. I have told her that nobody is allowed to touch her without her permission and that she needs to wait till she is WAAAAY older to have kids. BUT I told her that if she does get pregnant that we will be supportive of her. Ya disappointed but we will love her no matter what.

I have and hope that she understands to wait until she can live her life before havin kids. Go to college, get a good job, find the right guy THEN have the kids. The world is open to her and I want her to experience things before kids. 

Have yet to talk to my son. Will get onto that soon.

I havent spoken yet to my kids about Huffing. Now that they are in Jr. High things are a changing in my house. They see thier father smoking cigarettes and the years of drinking (which he has been sober 5 months) and they dont like the things that he did or still does with the smoking. I have told them that this will end up killing him down the road as Dad gets older. And they know that this is not cool.

With my job as an EMT if I have good calls (youd call em bad) I would sit down and talk with my kids about this. Like drunk drivers and those that go and get high and things I have to do to help save thier lives. I would take pictures of accident scenes and show my kids that this is what happens when you drive drunk or not paying attention. It helps.

This was a great article!!!

I do not carry a purse. Absolutely hate them. For one I grew up watching my Mother digging through looking for stuff she lost at the bottom of her purse. Plus its a girly thing. Sorry not into that.

I do have a hip pack but it is mainly for work.

What I have in there???

1. stethascope

2. 3 pairs of trauma shears

3. small spiral notebook for hosp entrance codes

4. wallet

5. Pens

Bren,

Thanks.

I feel soooooo much better that what I had felt 7 months ago. I am so excited that I am cleared to return to work on Sept 2nd. And that my Chemo is now over. So I decided to take a new picture and it turned out good. Cellphones. Sheesh.

Solamente el fuertes sobreviven - Only the Strong Survive!

Oh I do!!!! I feel so much better then I did 6 months ago. I didnt realize that the reason I was so tired was because of being sick.

Im so much better. All that new hair is sooooo soft too. LOL.
