I have an opinion on this issue that will not be popular with most. I am a soft hearted person with three pure bred dogs (original breed Irish Setter and two Llwellen Setters). My husband is a bird hunter. That is why we have this breed. That is what they have been bred to do. He does not...

Nothing to add to the thread, but I LOVE your quote Gayle! :) Makes my day a little better! :)

This post makes me cry. I am so sorry you are feeling down. Totally agree with all the other posters. Live your life for you. The right person will come along. Take care.

I'm thankful for my dogs....Gus, Pip and Ellie. :)

I have been a teacher for nine years. This post fires me up. I totally agree that there are some bad teachers out there. I have worked in three different districts. One of them being a Catholic school. That was my first year. Those students were gold. I had 18 in my class and the parent...

This post makes me so sad. I'm sorry. :( I am not close with my family at all. I have been with my husband for 15 years and his family has been wonderful to me. I know they love me and would do anything for me. We don't talk a whole lot, but I do know they care, and I care about them...

Hi! I am teacher, but one of my friends is an LPN. She left her job so she could pursue her RN degree. It is extremely hard work, but you are right, all jobs are really. She has such a passion for her work and is great at it. I say go for it! Good luck! :)

Hi! I am new to smart phones and just got a Blackberry Curve 8530 3G. I have the memory card, etc. I love my ipod, but would like to try either Pandora or Slacker radio on my phone. Does anyone have any experience using either of these? Which one is better? Is it easy to use? I...

I wear a 9-9.5 in street shoes (depends on the brand) and when I buy my running shoes I get a 10. I found out about buying them a bit bigger the hard way when marathon training. My toenails bruised up really bad and they hurt. Gross, I know. Good luck!

I am an Oil of Olay gal, but my aunt uses Strivectin (sp?). It is super expensive, like $100 a bottle, but it works for her.

Since this is a dog thread I thought I would post about a new book I am reading. My BF got me this book for my birthday, since we are both dog lovers. It is Amazing Gracie: A Dog's Tale. It is pretty good so far. I am only on page 83, but have been enjoying it.

As an educator, this post struck a nerve with me. I do not think it is acceptable that your daughter has been given instruction that is not correct and has been treated inappropriately. If you have spoken to the teacher about all that you say is happening and things are not changing, you...

How terribly sad. :( May peace be with Ceasar and his family. Daddy lived a long, good life. We have three dogs and some people think we are crazy. It really is not hard to manage. The dog food goes quickly though, which is kind of a pain. :) My life is better because of my dogs...

Running a marathon is brutal. The training is brutal, especially when you work full time. I have been running for 16 years consistently and just did my first one in May of last year. I did the training as prescribed and my ITB still hurt and my toenails turned black. My toenails are still not...

My heart is breaking thinking of what you all have to work with at home. :( School can be a bad place with bullies acting out. I don't put up with anything like that, but unfortunately, kids work behind the scenes and you don't know everything that goes on. I run a strict classroom and...

Thanks for sharing that story! How sweet!

I totally understand your feelings. I work with a lot of autistic students every day. We have to have a meeting with the principal, my co teacher and the special ed teacher because my co teacher is not providing accomodations for him. She is holding him responsible for all the work in...

I am a teacher and I have had many students with autism. They are all so different. Our school district does an amazing job with our kids. Our principal gets calls all the time from area schools asking us to take kids in since we do such a great job. We have school of choice. We have an...

I was born with hip displasia (yeah, used to think only dogs got it) due to the way I came out. I have mild arthritis in my hip due to it, but I do not feel it at all. I ran a marathon last May and will be running another one on 10-10-10. Nothing will stop me. If a hip replacement is in my...

"Buy a cabin for my DH on the au Sable River in Michigan and buy a home in the Virgin islands for the winter." -Baylian (I don't know how to do the quote thing). I live in Grayling and it is truly a beautiful river. Is your DH a fly fisherman? I am sure you could get a good deal these...
