Hi everybody! Thanks for the intros! That totally helps because you get so used to seeing screennames, but forget the real names.
Solo, sorry so late with this, but I am soooooo sorry about the panic attacks. I get those alot and they always seem to happen at night. On a good note, I have actually been thinking of you lately. Just fantasy because I think I found your perfect husband. LOL. Actually, I have a friend in Atlanta who has a son who is way smart like you and I always tease him (my friend) because his kid is so good looking and on his way to being a doctor. How funny though. I don't know either of you, but yet, my mind put you too together. Yes, I think too much and when my brain runs out of useful things, it wanders.
Anyway, back to reality. I have been so busy and everything I have been doing has been kid things. I totally need some adult conversation. But now I have to go run another child to school so I will hop back in here later.

Vocal, I couldn't do it at the moment because I've just been diagnosed recently with fibromyalgia. I've had the symptoms for years, but didn't know it. At least this year, I won't have a cracked rib to go with it like I did last year! (That's another story).  Seriously though, my body couldn't handle the long periods of standing, and using the muscles you have to use etc. My body would be in a mess by the end of things. So, I'll just have to look forward to a time when I can sing properly again and not be hurt in the process.

Hi guys! It's me again. The one that pops in and out on a whim! Things have been crazy busy for me. The company both my husband and I work for is hurting financially so instead of laying people off, hours were cut. I'm working 24 hours a week and my husband is working 32 hours a week, which is nice to have the days off, but it hurts when we get our paycheck. Praise the Lord we are still employed though. The bad thing is, I still have a full time amount of work to do, so the few days I'm here, I'm swamped. I'm caught up for the day, but more work will be piled on my desk soon enough. I'm hoping to come in here more often because I need the encouragement from other Christian women.
I think I mentioned before that I'm a moderator on another message board somewhere, but I'm the only, and I mean ONLY Christian there. They know that and respect me, but I'm getting tired of some things they have said about religion and I'm about ready to move on.
Also, my husband and I changed churches last summer and while I LOVE my new church, I have yet to find my place there and I haven't made any friends yet, so I'm feeling somewhat lonely. I still see some of my good girlfriends, but they have all been so busy lately.
Anyway, that's what's new with me. I'm really hoping to post more than I have in the past.

Hey Becky! Good to have you back!
(((((((((((((((((((((BECKEY))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Vocal, yes, I did get taught how to keep the muscles in shape, but I've forgotten. It's been a very long time since I've had a vocal coach.

Solo, that's a toughie, isn't it? I was about to write more, but I'm really tired. Maybe that's a good thing....maybe it means I'll fall asleep early tonight.

Gee Solo, I'm sorry. I don't know what I'd do in that situation. Have you tried making other kinds of contact with him, such as the phone?

Eh, I can't seem to find his number...they may not list it. I'm just not sure what else there is to do, and I can't figure out WHY he's not answering. He could be on a long trip, sick, never got the emails...or I never got the reply, etc. I don't get it. I doubt he just gets them and never answers; even if there's a problem, they usually tell you what's going on, and they usually have an auto-reply when they're out of their office for an extended period of time. I got none of that.

Hi Everyone! I thought I'd give you all some thing to make you smile.....kinda corny but I'm sure you'll all smile!!
In the hospital the relatives gathered in the waiting room, where their family member lay gravely ill.
Finally, the doctor came in looking tired and somber.
'I'm afraid I'm the bearer of bad news,' he said as he surveyed the worried faces.
'The only hope left for your loved one at this time is a brain transplant.
It's an experimental procedure, very risky but it is the only hope
Insurance will cover the procedure, but you will have to pay for the brain yourselves..'
The family members sat silent as they absorbed the news. After a great length of time, someone asked, 'Well, how much does a brain cost?'
The doctor quickly responded, '$5,000 for a male brain, and $200 for a female brain.'
The moment turned awkward. Men in the room tried not to smile, avoiding eye contact with the women, but some actually smirked.
A man unable to control his curiosity, blurted out the question everyone wanted to ask, 'Why is the male brain so much more?'
The doctor smiled at the childish innocence and explained to the entire group, 'It's just standard pricing procedure. We have to mark down the price of the female brains , because they've actually been used..'

Ugh, I went out with my two nephews and sister tonight. One is about to be thirteen, and the other is three.
I notice that no one really cares how the older one eats (at home or in restaurants), and he says the most inappropriate things...both at home and in public. He lives with us part time and with his mom part time. Sometimes he'll go to his other family's side for a day or two. Anyway, I want for someone to attempt to teach him things, like how to eat and what's not appropriate to say, but it seems like his mom either doesn't have time or doesn't care (she works a ton b/c she's a single mom), and his dad is the same way as my nephew-- and HIS family excuses him as well.  The problem is that no one taught him. I guess it's not gonna kill anyone, but it seems like there's some level of decorum to maintain. I'm not sure if there's anything I can do... I'm rarely around because I'm in class all day, and the things he says... I'm not sure what to do about that either... or where he gets some of the stuff. It's pretty bad though...both the eating habits and the crude stuff he says. I know it probably sounds like he's been conditioned, but that's the way his dad's side is. They were actually in a cult and his father is gay/getting a sex change, and he's been confused in all kinds of ways. Plus they claimed they were homeschooling him but were not, so now everyone calls him slow, but no one ever tried to teach him. I really feel sorry for him, but we have to start trying to get better at some point.
Still not heard from my research mentor. 
I'll come back later to read the other posts; I'm really tired and need to memorize Spanish.

This woman I know lets her kids behave like that also, and she also tells them rude things to say to people she dont like... like right now she told her husband she dont love him...so he is moving out and she tells the boys to say really hurtful things to their father... its sad :/

I guess I just feel sorry for him, because he spent his first years really being brainwashed by his cultist father. Now he thinks we're the evil side of the family, that only the other side of the family loves him, and that the other side of the family is better. He's really good about saying "We'll gradma X told me that you guys...," so we think it's coming straight from them.
Before my sis married their son they knew their son was gay, but since they wanted a grandchild no one told my sister he was gay... so they got married, had a son, got divorced (he wears women's clothes and is in the process of becoming a woman), and now we see how badly our nephew/son/grandson has been messed up by them. He's very confrontational about religion, and although WE know how he is, if he gets into it with someone outside the home.... they may just feel strongly enough about their religion that he'll end up being hurt over it. He's extremely sensitive...there's nothing wrong with sensitive boys, IMO, but this is too sensitive for anyone. He cries or gets very upset when corrected or not spoken to in a soft voice (his father's voice is almost a whisper, and his father never disciplines or corrects him)...so if people talk in anything other than his dad's voice, he'll claim you're yelling at him and either get mad and confrontational or cry. And in reality, you were just talking in a normal voice. He has a temper and will get up in your face if he feels you've wronged him, even to my parents. My mom commented the other day that she's afraid that he'll kill her or something if he gets mad enough at something she's corrected him on or not let him do...so we're debating whether or not he should stay here.
There's just so much that's been inculcated into him...we're not sure what to do. We're trying to get him caught up in school, because although my ex brother-in-law's parents homeschooled my ex BIL, they're old now and can't really do it anymore. So, my nephew spent his time doing nothing when he was supposed to be homeschooled, so people call him slow/retarded, when I really just think it's a lack of actually being taught.
Although I hate that he doesn't really know how to eat and speak the right way around people, he needs help all-around. Sometimes I wonder how he'll react to the world when he's really out there in it with none of us around, but I suppose you can only do what you can. I remember once when he was at school a kid said he was slow, and my nephew decided to leave, cross a busy 6-lane highway and go pacing up and down the sidewalk over there. He goes to school near here and I live right off part of the highway. Not a good place to pace... prostitutes and drug dealers routinely go walking up and down there, not to mention how much traffic there is. I know it hurts his feelings when people call him slow, and I think that's why he did what he did that day. I'm just not sure how to help him other than with homework. Since he spends time with the other side of the family, anything we try to teach him gets negated and overruled over there. We've been trying to help him learn more etiquette....just simple things no one told him. We've tried to show him how to chew with his mouth closed (you can hear him smack from across a room, at a restaurant or at home) and how to hold a fork and spoon (he stabs his food and holds the spoon to where all the food drops out before it gets to his mouth)... then if he goes to the father's side, they tell him it's okay, so he never holds on to anything we try to teach him. Plus since he thinks that side's better, he probably just automatically goes with what they do. It's just an odd situation I guess. I never knew families like that existed before I saw my ex BIL's family. One thing I can say is that my ex BIL's father does disagree with what his son and family do (the parts of the family that are participating in this). He won't allow his son to wear dresses/makeup etc when he's around him, and I know he's told them that what they're doing isn't right.
Fluff, I know women like that too...that'll teach their kids to say bad things at times. I see it especially when there was some kind of bad divorce/breakup. :(

Lol. My mom goes to get a colonoscopy; she finds me a doctor. She goes to the ob/gyn; she finds me another doctor... Anywhere she goes, she can always find someone for me. :) But I also hear daily how I should date my lab patner. (Mom just thinks he's so adorable.) My own mind wanders too though; I'm married to all kinds of people in my brain. Hehe.
