This is so wild!!

Yeah, that one made me say, "what the...." too!

RE: Favorites?

Well, I don't want people knowing if I have an interest in them before I'm ready to share it with them by email or flower. I like having that 'privacy' factor. If I want them to know, then I request to put them on my friends list.

BTW, THANK YOU!! I feel very privileged.

RE: Favorites?

No. This discussion was just brought up recently in another thread. I still say I wouldn't want people knowing who my favorites are. That's what a friends list is for.

This is so wild!!

You're very welcome!

RE: Child Support

Yes, we certainly do, Ras. I remember working 2 or 3 jobs at a time to make sure my daughter had what she needed. And I always seemed to be 'robbing Peter to pay Paul'. But I didn't want to 'live on the system' because I didn't want my daughter thinking that it was the easy way out. I've always been a very determined, hard-working person. I wanted to instill the same values in her.

This is so wild!!

I just wish I had HALF their energy!

Please keep catwomen64 in your thoughts!!!

Hey girl! Thinking of you & your mom sweetie.

Just remember....... SAN FRANCISCO!!!!

RE: What's something ya want RIGHT NOW?

A computer w/internet at home!!

RE: Child Support

EXACTLY!!!

I used to get soooo angry with men I'd talk to who said, "I give her all that money & she spends it on herself!" I kept retaliating with, "Do you think she takes each of HER paychecks & says, 'OK son, this is for you & this much is for me'???" A good parent will pay for/buy whatever is NECESSARY for the well-being of that child. Made my blood boil!!

RE: Child Support

No offense Snuggs, but I think your stereotypes are a bit out-of-date in the modern world. It's not just the man's job to be the provider, while the woman pays the bills with his money. It is now a shared responsibility. With today's economy, most families couldn't make it on one income. JMO.

RE: Child Support

I totally agree. My ex paid sporadically while my daughter was growing up, which was extremely hard. The only time he paid was when he had a girlfriend & they put him in jail. She'd bail him out. He eventually became over $8000 in arrears.

Now that she's 22 & on her own, the SCDU is going after him full-force. And now, he's FINALLY paying on a regular basis. It would've been much nicer to have the money when she was growing up so that I could do more things for/with her. I hated saying no to her all the time.

I've been helping her out now with the payments I get... buying clothes for her children & such.

RE: BAD BOYS???

Yep, it's the 'challenge'. God, how I HATE that word!!

RE: Say something....to anybody...TRY to be nice...

Perfect! How's it going Jesse?

RE: Say something....to anybody...TRY to be nice...

How sweet of you Larry. Thank you!

I was looking at netbooks today. Quite a bit cheaper than regular laptops & definitely better than what I have at home right now... nothing.

Any views on these?

RE: "Ignore poster function"

But see, on the other forum, the only person who couldn't view the particular poster blocked was the person who blocked him/her. I just think that if you're being harrassed by someone, but want to post to an interesting thread, it'd be a nice feature to have.

RE: Say something....to anybody...TRY to be nice...

Hello all

RE: "Ignore poster function"

Sure, you post an interesting thread & now I have to go!

Have a great weekend all, if I don't get back online. But I probably will at some point.

RE: "Ignore poster function"

See, I think it should be toward the poster. There have been posters on here... in the past... who I didn't have time for their nasty remarks. I would've just blocked them altogether.

RE: "Ignore poster function"

I'm better. Thanks for asking! TGIF!

How's your day going?

RE: Good Morning CS

Well, I did get 3 gorgeous, adorable grandbabies out of it!

But still, I could've waited quite a bit longer.

RE: "Ignore poster function"

There have been times in this forum, where a certain poster will start an argument with me & then follow me from thread to thread, posting horrible, vindictive things. If we had that option, it could save some a lot of hurt.

RE: "Ignore poster function"

I belonged to a forum once that you COULD ignore certain posters. When they posted to a thread, if you had them blocked, you didn't even see their posts! That was a nice option.

This is so wild!!

You Really need to watch this video!




These girls are AMAZING!!

She nearly brought tears to my eyes

Thanks! She's quite an inspiration, isn't she?

Don't do anything with the color, it's BEAUTIFUL!!

RE: Good Morning CS

I told my daughter 50, but did she listen?? Nnnnoooooooo!!!

She nearly brought tears to my eyes

Wow! I like the new pic, Arlene! You look great!

RE: Good Morning CS

Lucky!! Keep her locked in her bedroom when she becomes a teenager!

My daughter was almost 18 when she had my oldest grandson, Owen. Then she was almost 19 with Tyson. Now she's 22 with THREE children!!!

But she is a very good mom & loves her kids dearly.

RE: Good Morning CS

Well, so am I. But my daughter didn't care.

RE: Good Morning CS

Alivia was born on October 29th. My birthday is October 9th & my grandmother's was October 18th.

I never got around to crocheting any of the grandchildren blankets.

But I have 2 blankets that were given to me by friends at my baby shower when my daughter was born. I need to wash them & hand them down to my daughter for Alivia. They were both crocheted by these women for me/her.

RE: Good Morning CS

Congrats! My granddaughter was born last October. She's such a precious little joy!! So are her big brothers. Grandchildren are so much fun!!
