• THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! Cannot imagine a more worthy family - and Connor will absolutely have a great time - as will you all I'm sure! WOW! WOW! WOW! *have goosebumps and tears of joy for you all* (NT) -- Hedy, 16:01:05 01/12/11 Wed
  • I'm with Hedy on this. That is just fantastic!!!!!!! (NT) -- CarolE, 17:10:01 01/12/11 Wed
• Very Cool!!! When do you get to go? He will be so excited. I'm happy for you guys. (NT) -- Cherie, 16:43:50 01/12/11 Wed
  • I don't know!!! They are mailing all the stuff out today so I'll find out how they roll. We are thinking either Connor's birthday which is March 10 or his spring break which is March 30 to April 10. Disneyland only has their calendar up until March 9th right now and I want to make sure none of the great rides will be closed while we are there. I don't want it to be too busy either but busy enough that they have the fireworks and Main Street Parade. (NT) -- Jodi YoB, 17:49:08 01/12/11 Wed
    • Spring break is really busy, Jodi, at least DisneyWorld had crazy lineups when we were there about 5 years ago. I think it's best to choose an off-season time time if you can so you're not lining up for an hour or more for rides. (NT) -- Denise, 12:05:33 01/13/11 Thu
      • Yeah, normally I wouldn't think about going then but I did for two reasons, the first is I wondered because Easter is so late this year, maybe all the spring breaks will be scattered around (my brother's kids have a week in Feb and a week at Easter) and this is 3 wks before that at least. And second I have heard that wish kids don't have to stand in line, they have special access to rides. But I don't know that for sure yet. That would be great but I still don't want big crowds cuz I don't want to lose the kids, I want them to have a bit of freedom to walk on their own. So I'll have to look into that more.

        • Yah, budge those lines!! Go for it! (NT) -- Denise, 23:05:34 01/13/11 Thu
          • Congratulations to you all!! That is SO great!!! Spring Breaks (and Winter Breaks) are different in EVERY state...my kids actually get a week end of Feb/first March and a week in April...I think it's pretty much ALWAYS busy at Disney. I hope you have a TON of fun!! (NT) -- Ceilidh, 14:19:00 01/14/11 Fri

    • For Us By Us. I did not know this either and I had bought some sweat anklet socks on clearance and they said FUBU on them. After having them for about a year my son says to me.... you know that's a brand for blacks? I was like... No, I didn't. I didnt realize there was a brand for blacks. *g* I dont really think its just for blacks......really in this day and age, he said it's real popular with his black friends at school. I have to be honest, Im kinda in the dark about all the boys brands, my kids just wear jeans and sports t-shirts, anything else is lost on me. I got a nephew all he will wear is Hollister? Im not sure if thats how its spelled, but its expensive, and Im thinking isnt this why we have boys because they are cheaper to dress? They cant be going around getting stuck on brands like girls do.... its just not right. *g* (NT) -- M&M, 16:38:19 09/10/11 Sat
      • I guess I'm a white bread as you then, cause I don't know nuttin' bout those brand things. I used to dress my kids from Biway and if they had to have a brand they had to buy it themselves. Btw, my Greek friend who I'm going to the show with loves to tell me that I'm the whitest person she knows. LOL (NT) -- Aislinn, 16:54:40 09/10/11 Sat

• I am nothing but BORING! Although our neighborhood did flood last night and I am Pissed at the DH becuase he refused to be worried or take it seriously and thank god we got no water in the house. The most damage for us is the new landscaping and retainer walls at the end of th driveway but neighbors had wet basements and the golf course was flooded and the wet lands behind us was RUNINING water which we have NEVER seen. Our drainage ditches by the road (where the damage is our now full of other neighbors landscaping rocks that just floated down the hill to us with the surge of water. Today DH and DD left at 8 am for the PSU game and won't be home until 12 or 13 hours later so no working on gardening and landscaping repair...hence I'm pissed! I have to write and IEP and figure out some more stuff for the new job...lots of work on weekends for me from now til Xmas probably! Still haven't see The Help and would love to see it with you Karen! and Michelle! (NT) -- BetsyG, 15:51:39 09/10/11 Sat
  • Well come on up, Bets. I'll wait for you! (NT) -- Aislinn (), 16:55:58 09/10/11 Sat
• Y'all can just insert any previous weekend plans I've had because they're almost always the same - work, housework, homework, laundry. I am going to see the Help tonight but only because DD and a friend are going and they need a chauffer. :p Trying to decide if I should take the Big Lump or call a girlfriend or just go alone..... (NT) -- Maria, 17:01:07 09/10/11 Sat
  • My big lump is already asleep on the couch with Cops blaring in front of him. (NT) -- Aislinn, 19:30:49 09/10/11 Sat

      • My BL stayed home to watch the NASCAR race. The girls and I had a nice time, the movie was really, really good, and it followed the book well. I only cried a little in a couple of spots, laughed out loud in a few others. It was very gratifying to hear the girls talking in the backseat on the way home. I've raised a good kid who cares about people no matter their color or ethnicity, and she has great friends too. :) From the discussion I heard their outlook doesn't always jibe with some of the 'popular' girls, unfortunately there are Hilly's everywhere. :( (NT) -- Maria, 23:50:24 09/10/11 Sat
        • Oh and I was surprised to see Nate Berkus was one of the executive producers! I didn't know that. (NT) -- Maria, 23:52:17 09/10/11 Sat
          • Yeah, that surprised me too about Nate B. There is nothing that makes me more proud than raising kids that are color blind. (NT) -- M&M, 10:01:30 09/11/11 Sun
            • Me too, re: Nate Berkus! And I absolutely loved the movie. I couldn't believe how closely they followed the book except about Constantine's (who knew Cisely Tyson was still alive!) daughter but I guess that might have taken to long to explain, although it would have made more sense with a black lady having the nerve to attempt coming in the front door. (NT) -- Aislinn (), 16:01:21 09/11/11 Sun
              • Glad you liked it! True about Constantine's daughter, but as you said, would have taken too long. I knew Cicely Tyson was still alive, but it's been a few years since I saw her in anything, I think the last time was Because of Winn Dixie. I looked her up when I got home - she doesn't work much not because of her age (b. 1933) but because she will only portray strong, positive women's roles. I about cried when I saw her face, she was a favorite actress of mine when I was young, loved her in the Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman. (NT) -- Maria, 19:28:37 09/11/11 Sun
                • And I loved her in Roots. The young'un that I was with didn't know her at all cause she was 10 when Roots came out. LOL (NT) -- Aislinn, 22:18:04 09/11/11 Sun
              • Glad you enjoyed it. I wanted to hit Hilly upside the heid w/a 2X4 throughout the entire movie, what a bitch!!! Thought the book was a bit draggy to begin with but now that I'm at the halfway point I'm liking it better. Still prefer the movie. I'm ashamed to say that 100 years post Civil War and the South was more like 6 months past it. Disgusting!! Inside>> -- CarolE, 22:56:43 09/11/11 Sun
                • You're going to love that part of the book which really explains Constantines reason for getting fired. (NT) -- Aislinn, 14:37:30 09/12/11 Mon
• The Help has had really good reviews but it sounds like it would be too emotionally engaging for me. I only see comedies or some milk toasty detective or sci/ fi films. We've been out on the scooters for hours already this weekend - have covered all the back roads on the south and west sides of the island and only been chased by 1 dog. We see lots of deer in the trees and ditches and we came around a corner and scared a raccoon up a tree. I had no idea they could climb that fast. We've also seen several wild turkey flocks. I love retirement!!! (NT) -- M.F., 19:51:52 09/10/11 Sat
  • I totally envy your life, Robbie! (NT) -- Aislinn, 22:37:24 09/10/11 Sat
• I spent Saturday out at our local horse jumping place Spruce Meadows. We don't really watch the show jumping ( world class, Masters) but check out all of the other stuff. We've had wonderful weather here and it was lovely day to spend with my mom, sil & wee Jack. Tomorrow we're heading out of town for a picnic with some family. I haven't read The Help (not really my thing) but I will see the movie in a year or so when it hits movie central. Karen: you would have laughed you ass off if you had seen my face when I read the word negro *G* (NT) -- Cherie, 00:25:36 09/11/11 Sun
  • Hahahaha. (NT) -- Aislinn, 16:09:08 09/11/11 Sun
• WOW, we did get very boring, so much so, I stopped stopping by! Currently vacationing in the Okanagan Valley and had time to cruise by. Cherie, sorry about Josi and the step up to meds, she was very mature to handle the diet at her young age. Tam, don't know what to say, your situation is not going to rectify itself without professional help and major committment from all involved. A retired Steve is only going to be more micromanaging Steve. I'm very sad for you all. On the PD front... I better go inside don't know how wordy I may get. -- PD, 10:05:33 09/11/11 Sun
• How does helping your DD clean her closet sound for boring ! *G* Oh, and watched Penn State loose a football game. Put clean sheets on our bed. But I did manage to squeeze some shopping in-hhad Kohl's cash buring a hole in my pocket. (NT) -- Merc, 19:08:20 09/12/11 Mon

  • Oh my goodness Tam, wasnt expecting that!!!!!! I do NOT get the 50 lb thing at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you try another dr./hospital? That is just sort of insane! DH is over managing, son is home, school and working, doing things around the house, I dont see the problem. It sounds like the Army, which you know, but I think prolly Steve see that way with getting results and doesnt understand why it doesnt work for his kid. Youre situation is way out of control to be Switzerland.

He calls me every morning of summer at 9am to ask "what is on my agenda for the day" Every fuccking day! And I know that it is to make sure I'm up. He'll leave me ewith "Have a productive day!"

  • You can tell Matt for me I think he is a sweetheart! Just a thought but has he ever tried Weight Watchers? I work at the Polls with a woman who is in the same process and they told her the same thing about losing some weight. Matt is awful young for this drastic surgery. Be prepared for him to lose his gall bladder within a year of the gastric bypass. Everyone I know who has had it done has had theirs removed. Don't know why they don't just make it part of the initial surgery. Please give him a motherly hug for me. As for the rest of it, I'll just keep my mouth shut and listen. Vent here any time you need to. AND you are NOT fat!!! (NT) -- CarolE, 17:22:29 08/31/11 Wed
    • I took Matt to WW with me when he was about 16. The first week I lost 6 lbs, he gained 2.. He just didn't follow it. I'm just down on myself now, cause I've gained about 20 pounds from this time last year. Stress and working too much and nto getting to the gym as much. (NT) -- Tam, 09:04:05 09/01/11 Thu
  • Jaysus!! I wondered how things were going to go in Fergus with them all there together. I personally thought Matt was lovely and was just sorry I didn't have a chance to talk to him until Sunday night. Michelle has some good advice, and I think it's worth a shot. You are not fat and you can vent all you like here. That's what we're here for. (NT) -- Aislinn, 20:05:01 08/31/11 Wed
    • He was on his best behavior at Fergus and he seemed to enjoy it. Although he did micromanage what we ate (or tried to) and what I spent. Kinda sucked the joy out of it. (NT) -- T, 09:05:25 09/01/11 Thu

  • I hate to hear Josi is going to have to go on meds. Hopefully it'll be a small dose. I'm not sure how all that works. Hugs to her and to you. As for Matt,he desperately wants the surgery. Although, even though he's passed all those tests I don't think he's of the best mindset. I think he sees it as a cure all. I keep trying to get him to go on some of the Gastric Bypass message boards,, but he'd rather play games online with his bestfriend Cory, who is back at U of Arkansas. (NT) -- Tam, 09:18:55 09/01/11 Thu
    • Meds were pretty much inevitable. They were actually very happy that she managed to go almost 2 years before it was a necessity. She lost about 25lbs, and has maintained that for a year. This winter seemed to be bad for both her & me. I've gained back about 1/2 of what I lost last year. That pisses me off cause I can't wait my "skinny" clothes. J and I are going to get back at it. I'm hoping that having to keep her on track will help me keep on track. (NT) -- Cherie (), 10:24:40 09/01/11 Thu

  • I have printed off the Biggest Loser application...TWICE, but he jsut rolls his eyes at me. >>> -- T, 09:29:16 09/01/11 Thu
• Thanks y'all. Matt's family doctor originally reccommended the surgery. There are many studdies that say the best thing for teens and young adults is surgery. I think it falls into the frame of mind that if they got that big that young they need the help. Matt had to go to a seminar, get clearance from a psychiatrist, and from nutrition department. He's done all this. We had him seeing a counselor but he won't go anymore. Steve and I went to marriage counseling this time last year and it turned into the "How can we make Steve feel better Show". We stopped going when I started working full time. I'd been going myself to a diiffernect counselor who I adored, but she "graduated" me. lol >>> -- Tam, 08:57:47 09/01/11 Thu
  • Sorry about your job, I wondering what happened. I'm so sorry about Matt . Don't you wish you could just shake them and make them see sense. I don't have the answer to your problems, I wish I did. But I do think perhaps a Vegas trip or something might help?!?!? (NT) -- Cherie, 10:21:48 09/01/11 Thu
  • Sorry (((((Tam)))). So much for you handle right now but lots of ideas and support here so let us know how things are going. (NT) -- Jodi YoB, 14:33:19 09/01/11 Thu
  • Oh my. So much stress! It's terrible for everyone. I can so sympathize with your dilemma with Steve though. Luckily, things got better with between Thom and I but it was touchy for a while. Mind you my getting sick was kind of a help in an odd way but I sure wouldn't wish that on anyone. Major hugs to you and the kids. (NT) -- Aislinn, 17:56:45 09/01/11 Thu

      • Well I am glad you are getting some Girlfriend time YOU Deserver IT!!! Sounds like it is TIME to tell the doctor he is NOT losing the weight so now what -- I still think the Biggest loser resort is the ticket but it is costly--if I had the money I would go--I so need a push like that. So very sorry about your job that just sucks! but you know that---what would you do? Sue Steve for alimony?? You are entitled to half that military retirement! And I think Matt can be on your insurance until he is 26 now. Hugs Hugs Hugs! (NT) -- BetsyG, 19:43:18 09/01/11 Thu

• I really feel for you, Tam. Don't suppose there's any way that just you and the kids could go for counselling - my memories of living with my military step-father through my teenage years make me cringe! Everything was always so black and white and tense! Wish I could do something to help. (NT) -- M.F., 20:17:40 09/01/11 Thu
• (((((Tam))))) Haven't been here for a month but so sorry to hear about all your drama. You really have two of the nicest kids I have ever met. So sorry to hear they are struggling. (NT) -- Fiona, 11:10:25 09/06/11 Tue
• Tam, when I looked into lap-band surgery several years ago, they didnt' require that I lose weight, but that I join a program for X number of months to show that I could stick to a strict lifestyle change. Could you talk to the doctor about that? I know the reason behind some of it is that if the patient can't prove they can change and follow the rules then the surgery will only be a temporary fix. Even if he loses 200 pounds, if he doesn't stick to the eating rules for the rest of his life the weight will come back. (((Hugs to you and yours)))) (NT) -- TanyaB, 12:43:25 09/06/11 Tue
• Tam, my BIL had this surgery several years ago and is doing great. He was overweight his most of his life and at around age of 50 had the surgery. He is a long time teacher and now vp at a 7-12 school. He is the kindest, easiest going, smartest guy. My sisters and I call him the Good Egg of all the spouses. All I have to do is ask him and he will call or email you or your son without blinking an I. If your intereseted email me. I've been on these boards for years, mostly lurking, but I am not an ax murderer. On the DH front we are in a similar place and all I can offer you are my prayers.

She got by on a student loan that we helped her with it, mind you she was only in college for 2 years. Keith wouldn't go to college so the minute he graduated he had to pay room and board. No school, no free ride. It only took him 2 years to finally move out. (NT) -- Aislinn, 20:48:46 04/15/11 Fri

• We're not there yet but the rule in my house growing up after high school was 'full time school or full time job'. They would support us like they did in high school if we went to college (food, clothes...but only local schools where we could live at home--cars, insurance and gas was ALWAYS something we had to pay for ourselves)...if we went to work we paid rent. I took a 'year off' and worked 4 jobs (1 full time, 3 part time)...then started classes part time and still worked full time....then got engaged so stopped classes. Then the rule was I could pay rent or pay for the wedding. I paid for the wedding....THAT was stupid! ;) I DID go back to uni a year after I got married....felt so OLD at 21...and 16 years after DH graduated (I didn't) we are STILL paying off those student loans! *sigh* We borrowed $30000 between us....consolidated them to one...did deferment for a few years...I'm hoping to have them paid before Joey finishes uni. :( (NT) -- Ceilidh, 08:24:45 04/16/11 Sat
  • We have told Joey that if he still doesn't know what he wants to do at the end of high school then he should go to trade school so he'll have a trade to 'fall back' on AND a way to pay his own way through school. We'll see...I'll be back in 3 years! ;) (NT) -- Ceilidh, 08:25:17 04/16/11 Sat

  • Transferring to universities -- Merc, 10:28:24 04/17/11 Sun
• Do they still do CO-OP? Brian paid his own way through college and worked summers and every other semester at an engineering firm, took him five years instead of four, but he had much less debt when he graduated. He also took night classes the summers/semesters he was working. I was curious if they still have these type of programs out there???????? (NT) -- M&M, 19:19:16 04/16/11 Sat
• I know I'm a broken record with the book 'Teaching With Love & Logic' (there is a parenting one, too) but it just makes so much sense. It's all about teaching kids responsibility. When ds went to university I was a single parent and didn't have the money to pay his tuition even if I had wanted to - which was fine because I'm a big believer in people making there own choices and then being responsible for them. ds always had a job, paid his tuition/books, etc. and took the bus the first 2 yrs of uni until he had saved 500 bucks to buy an old car. The one thing I gave him was free room and board as long as he was in school. I CANNOT believe ds will be 40 this year!!! That's impossible! (NT) -- M.F., 03:36:55 04/17/11 Sun
• THANK you, everyone, so much. I don't know what people who don't have such a wonderful resource as this DO when they just don't know what to, well, do. *G* In here please >>> -- Maria, 03:44:27 04/18/11 Mon
  • So much to think about! I have no advice that would be novel, but it seems you have thought out all the angles. The only other school that may be nearby and may have different entrance requirements etc, is University of Windsor, my old alma mater. Tuition isn't nearly as high in Canada, as far as I know. Might be worth a look. (NT) -- Denise, 11:40:14 04/18/11 Mon
  • Maria we were at Purdue today, and they told us anyone that wants scholarship money they have to apply early early early. :( I wanted to add, any program that he can get a Masters in 5 years........nab it!!!!!! A lot of colleges arent doing those anymore because basically its worth more money if they go longer. (NT) -- M&M, 19:13:10 04/18/11 Mon
  • Oh wow you have thought out all the angles! I think at this point I might call for a face to face interview with Mercy financial aide and tell them what you told us==it really does sound like the school for him and perhaps they can advise if he would get more aide with higher scores?it really does sound like the school for him and his interestes and career ideas. AND how the heck with the new health care can the employer of your DH get away with not giving him insurance? arghhhhhhhhhhh (NT) -- BetsyG (), 19:21:54 04/18/11 Mon
    • I'm going to call Mercy this week and see about Dylan retaking the ACT (they give it there, in a private room, twice a week) and share my concerns. I really do think it sounds like the best place for him, if he can swing the money. DH's employer did offer insurance, and would pay 20% of it, but it was still sooooo expensive and DH still isn't getting consistent full time hours so we had to say not now. :( Those laws about ins. don't go into effect for a couple of years and the way things are going they'll probably overturn them or something anyway (NT) -- Maria, 01:24:38 04/23/11 Sat

    • OMG, so funny you say that about his hair. He got a TERRIBLE haircut back in June. When the girl who usually sweeps the shop takes scissors to your baby's curls....RUN, RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN!!!! It's slowly growing but I just wanted to cry all summer. So we get to Hawaii and with the humidity his hair was perfect, just like you said. *g* Even he kept saying, "Mom, my curls came back!". I was a little vocal about it all summer. I'm out at the lake now but when I get home I will post a pic of his "home hair". It's bad. :D (NT) -- Jodi YoB, 21:52:59 09/01/11 Thu

We've got great weather in Calgary, and I'd rather be camping but we seem to be camping midweek in the rain (and thunderstorms) and staying home weekends to avoid the crowds.

• Survived, yes. :) We have WAY too much food left over, as I planned for 100 and only about 40 came, but oh well, we'll be eating pulled pork and nachos for a while. *shrug* I was exhausted after the party, then I had a weeks worth of studying to do in about 4 hours, an online class, an online test, an in person class and test, then work yesterday and didn't get home until 7:15am so this is really the first chance I've had to sit down and do anything. I'll try to post some pics later today or tomorrow! (NT) -- Maria, 15:00:20 06/14/11 Tue
