    Yet Another "People and Their Comments" Thread

    RE: Yet Another "Then another chimes in with, 'I'd lift weights, but I'm afraid of getting too big." Let's pause for a moment and ponder how ridiculous it is for someone who is 50 pounds overweight to be avoiding exercise because she doesn't want to get too big." ROTFLMAO!!!

    What response do you prefer as a woman....

    I was once whistled at, very quietly as I got off an elevator, where only he and I had been and was surprised at how flattering it was...normally I hate the loud public whistles but this was a really great compliment.

    So what do you do when...........

    Logbook, logbook, logbook, and guard it with your life. I hope you take it home with you at night. If he touches you again, I'd look him in the eye and say "Please don't touch me, it make me uncomfortable." and if he says things that make you uncomfortable, say it does, be professional...

    Rock Star Super Nova

    I also think the Apprentice is fixed, ie, they already know who they are going to choose, the rest of course is just to sell commercials. It is a brilliant moneymaking scheme on the part of all the companies involved however, I admire it from that aspect. It is all to get the sponsors...

    Unsolicited Parental Advice (long)

    Hm...well, it took about 6 months. A LOT of wasted time with the pediatrician getting the proper referral and waiting for people to call me back. Plus just not knowing what type of doc I needed. Family members telling me "You crazy? He is NOT autistic" because my son does not fit the classic...

    Unsolicited Parental Advice (long)

    You did the right thing. He sounds like he needs to be evaluated for Aspergers, at least. I have a son who is a younger version and has made amazing progress. It is sad that society blames the family or decides kids like this are "bad", because it makes them feel safe as though Autism and other...

    Another Christmas present question

    I would think either buy for both or for neither. Is there going to be one big present opening session with everyone there? I don't think the kids will notice either way, as long as their sibling doesn't get something that they don't. I don't think it is necessary to buy him something just...

    Hope this is not to personnal

    I have 3 little kids and I spend $100 each on them, I suspect it will not change as they get older (7,4 and 2). They are happy kids, they don't know the difference. What else do I need to say? I suspect I could get away with spending even less. I think if you can afford to spend $$$ I have no...

    How do you manage to eat clean with family??

    Double/Triple/Quadruple the suggestions NOT to let him do the grocery shopping. Stock up on the things that will help you stay strong....I don't normally see sugarfree/fatfree chocolate pudding as "clean" but it will give you something to nosh on while he is having his bowl of ice cream, or...

    ADHD

    My son has SI Disfunction too, like Pinky mentioned about her son. We just had him tested for it, I have not gotten the results yet but I am sure that is what he has, the profile was him, all over. He is only 4. Hard to assess at that age. LOTS of stuff masquerades as it, you need to be very...

    Who as their christmas shopping done??

    Drawing names for adults and keeping the kids is a good idea. We dropped sibling adults on my side a while ago. We have yet to drop siblings adults on my DH's side, but one brother doesn't have any kids yet. We have kept the parents, and the grandparents are going to get a gift certificate to...

    I think my neighbor ...

    I would keep track of the comings and goings if I were you. Why wouldn't you want to help the investigation? The cops can't be there every second and if they were, the bad guys would notice and be more cautious. If there is something going on, they are BETTING on you not wanting to "get...

    OUT SOURCING...

    The workers in India are paid quite well, a very good living wage for the work they do for the company my husband works for (which is owned by a Japanese company, by the way, even though it is a US operating bank...interesting, huh). Specifically, it is a good living wage for someone living in...

    milk, does it really do a body good?

    If she is eating a lot of yogurt I would watch out for all the sugar in most flavored varieties. They have a TON of sugar in them!! Go-gurts, for example, are considered a dessert in my house.
