who knew your situation, didn't step up and say anything.

The lady pretty much said that people who are working class people don't take care of their children and need to hire a maid if the mom works, etc. etc. etc, and your mother, knowing you are struggling to get by right now, didn't at least change the subject. She agreed with everything.

But your mother takes care of two of your siblings, and two of her grandchildren, but doesn't even act like she cares about you and your family when you come to her needing help.

PS- by taking care of brother and his wife, sister, and brothers two kids, I mean paying ALL bills (brother lives in own home she pays his mortgage) and sister lives at home.

They both drive luxery cars (mom paid for), and none of the three adults work. Mom doesn't work either, she lives off her old man's paycheck (which isn't enough to take care of all these people, they struggle more than most) but she seems like she is too good for you.

Does anyone know someplace to get information on disciplining a 16 month old who bites? How do you discipline a 16 month old. She doesn't talk, so she can't tell you what's wrong yet, or why she does it.

Okay, so we were trying to move to Nashville, but not having any luck.

I have been praying that God show me what to do or where to go.

My grandmother got diagnosed with cancer and is only expected to live 2-3 months, but it looks only like 1-2 weeks, if that long. She's not being treated, she's ready to go, so it will be soon. We decided to postpone moving for a couple of months.

Today I got a call from an agency in my home state to transfer to her department, where I would LOVE to be. But I also love my job here, and there is more security here, so I turned her down.

Then I got an e-mail from a place in Nashville wanting to know if I was still interested in the job that I had interviewed for twice. I expect my grandmother to go soon, so even if I accepted the job, I would still have several weeks here.

At this moment we are not financially ready to move though, since our plans had changed with my grandmothers diagnosis.

What is God trying to tell me?

Okay, so my grandmother got put in the hospital. She is severly dehydrated and is now 80something pounds. She has always been very skinny and petite, but for the past several years, has managed to keep her weight in the 90s. Over the past couple of months, she has been made to move in with my mother because she can't live on her own anymore. She has been deficating on herself and not eating. She can't swallow, the doctors think that it has something to do with her esaphagous, which they are going to test Friday morning. It has been my experience that all old people who go into the hospital after things like her life deteriorating lately, go down the hill very fast a pass away.

I am not going to visit her in the hospital because all my last memories of other grandparents, kin, etc are bad. The last thing I can remember about any of them, is being sick and in the hospital, etc. I want to remember my grandmother the last time that I saw her, having a good time and smiling.

Has anyone had this done? How much does it cost? What do you think about it, if you have had it done?

Okay, so my hubby is an Alabama fan, and I am an Auburn fan. We have been seeing a lot of cars with Auburn tags on them upside down. Recently he saw a Tennessee sticker on a truck with an Alabama tag, but the TN sticker was upside down. Is this the 'new' thing to do to your rivals or what?

Okay, we took my MIL car out of town. It has leather seats in it, and it did smell really nice.

We weren't supposed to smoke in it, but after a while, we broke down.

We kept the windows down and rode for a long way back on the interstate with the windows down.

But....she doesn't smoke, so I know that she will smell it.

How do you get the smoke smell out, and get it to smelling fresh again.

And don't lecture me, I am free white and over 21 and do whatever I want to. Only answer this question if you know how to get the smell gone. Thanks!

Okay, so I have been fostering a mama dog and her pups for about 5 weeks now. I just got told the date that they are to go back to the shelter. It's 3.5 weeks away.

Anybody else cried when they found out the date?

I don't know about all this song sharing blah blah blah.

All I know is that I need any Dave Matthews Band and the soundtrack for Into the Wild, put on my thumb drive so that I can put it on a Pioneer Inno.

Any help?

Also, I am at work, so I can't download anything, or sign up for anything, etc.

Okay, so here's the deal. The past couple of weeks, maybe a month now, I haven't been able to sleep very well. I tried to take Tylenol PM, but it got to where I was taking 3 at 6pm, and still couldn't go to sleep until 11pm or 12am. I tried a Unisom, I took it at 7:30 the other night and didn't go to sleep until after 11pm. I wake up feeling so tired. I am tired all day, to the point of exhaustion. I only have about two hours around lunch where I am fully awake. I don't have the time or energy to go see a doctor right now, it will be several months before I can get to see him, because of work, which I can't miss, or I will have no job anymore.

Anyone have any suggestions?

And please don't say drink warm milk - it's nasty.

Hot relaxing bath - sounds great, have tried it, too exhausted to deal with the kiddos coming in every five mins and 'checking' on me, and by the time I put them to bed, I'm way too tired.

I am exhausted, but can't sleep. Please help!

What do you think about my myspace page? How can I improve it? Thanks!

Okay, so here's the thing. I got these really cute strapless shirts. I have a strapless bra, but it always falls down. What is a good brand, etc, for a chunky 38D woman?

What do larger women do when they need to go strapless?

Thanks!

I HATE MY HAIR!!

Okay, I have to wash my hair everyday or the roots look like I poured french fry grease all over them.

But the sides and ends are frizzy, like I just stuck my hand in a light socket. My hair is not curly, but it sticks out everywhere and the new growth sticks out all over the place.

I use a leave in conditioner sometimes, and sometimes I use a frizz ease product, ,but nothing helps.

I am a very busy employed mother, with two jobs, so I don't even have time to blow dry my hair in the mornings. Everyday it goes into a ponytail because I am tired of looking like I got hit by a lightening bolt.

Does anyone have any suggestions, I really HATE my hair!

So what if your credit isn't up to par? What happens, so you pay more of a deposit? What if you can't rent an apartment? Where do you live? What's the deal with apartments?

Has this ever happened to anyone, and what did you do about it? My 15mo daughter has been biting at daycare. She bites very far and few between at home because we bite her back. At daycare, they put her in time out, but won't do anything else. They sent home a nasty little letter saying that they can't have other parents withdrawing their children because mine bites them. I don't know if they are taking stuff from her, or what. I don't know what do to, but I do know that my 6yo had the worst K year ever because of kids bullying him, so if she is standing up for herself, more power to her. But I don't like being threatened by the daycare. And how come they can't handle a 1 year old? Has this ever happened to you? What did you do? Also, can they legally kick her out because they can't handle her, or because they are letting other kids take stuff from her? She has a dominant attitude at home, but she is not a brat who just gets her way all the time. Help please?

I will be moving to Nashville, TN soon. The area that we are looking at moving to, my son would be going to first grade this year, second next to this school. Does anyone have any comments on this school? Thanks!!

I have gone to careerbuilder, nashville jobs, and monster. Any other websites? Any large businesses that might be online that I can try? I am in Alabama right now, so everything I am doing is online pretty much. Thanks!!

My husband and I and our two kids are leaving all of our family behind and moving to Nashville in the next couple of months. We know one person up there. Most places that I have looked at are more for dating. Does anyone know a sight where we can go to meet people who are like us, have kids and pets and just want someone to talk to sometime? Anyone on here?

Does anyone know a website that tells you basically step by step how to move and what to do to keep the stress level down? We will be moving to another state, and I want to make certain that everything is covered because we won't be coming back.

So here it is, my family and so called friends are all crappy and have through the years treated me and my family (husband, kids, pets) like we are the black sheep of the family. We seriously haven't done anything to anybody, I have always been that person who is there for everyone. Well, with siblings and others having children, older family members are treating them WAY WAY WAY better than my kids, for no apparent reason. So we have decided to pretty much write everyone off, and start our family over in a different state and we don't plan on ever speaking with them again. I have mentioned before that we were moving and everyone is just like, why? and they ask it like they have no idea what is going on. They are stupid to the fact that we have feelings. So my question is, while I don't believe in burning bridges. We will have a party when we leave, so everyone can get together and so we can say goodbye, what can I do so they know they are the reason that we are leaving?
