So Unprofessional

ladym33 @ladym33 (10979) • United States 10 Apr 13

I had to make a phone call to my daughter's doctor's office today because she has been sick and missed 4 days of school so she needed note from the doctor. So the receptionist answers my call, and lets me get through my entire...

hmkoct5 That really was unprofessional. She should have asked you to hold for a second. The other day I was craving a Blizzard from Dairy Queen. I sat in line forever waiting to get helped. As I was looking through the window, I saw a girl make an ice cream cone for a...

What the karate teacher said

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85146) • Shingle Springs, California 10 Apr 13

Monday night I was at Cary's karate class when one of the teachers says, "we're having free classes for parents this week", and ushers us into the other room. Turns out it was basically a self defense overview, and while the kids...

hmkoct5 That is hilarious! But, it was effective! I think that is an excellent technique! lol! But in all seriousness, I think it is pretty neat that they gave you a self-defense overview. I have always been interested in self-defense. I've been thinking of taking a...

Would You Ask For the Money?

ladym33 @ladym33 (10979) • United States 9 Apr 13

My husband makes a bit more money then a lot of our friends and family, and he has a good heart so people are always taking advantage of him and us. We are not rich by any means, and my husband works really hard for the money that...

hmkoct5 I would ask for the money. I would explain the situation and tell them you are in need of the money. I'm sure they would understand! I mean, who wouldn't understand that? If they don't understand, then they aren't truly friends. I guess it's good to be me and...

Red Wedding Dresses

ladym33 @ladym33 (10979) • United States 28 Mar 13

There is a new fashion trend that is trying to make its way in to the US markets and that is for red wedding dresses. Designers like Vera Wang have started designing red wedding dresses because they feel that Americans are being...

hmkoct5 I think I would stick with the traditional white, for a first wedding. I don't really like the red dress idea. Red traditionally stands for power (at least in American culture). Wearing a red wedding dress would signify to me that the woman is going to try to...

Home Economics Memories

ladym33 @ladym33 (10979) • United States 28 Mar 13

When I was in Junior high all of us girls had to take a year of home economics, it was 1/3 designing, 1/3 sewing, and 1/3 cooking. Honestly didn't do that great in the sewing and decorating parts, but I fell in love with cooking...

hmkoct5 I remember taking it during my eighth grade year. I also loved the cooking part. It was fun to make new things that I had never had at home. I also really got into the sewing part. So much so, that I asked Mom to get me a sewing machine. By the time I got the...

hmkoct5 My husband has dandruff really bad too. He switched to the Neutrogena brand that takes care of dandruff. He has done much better. He has been using it for a while and it takes care of his problems. If he stops using it though, it comes back.

My son is really in to the plays and such at his high school. They had try outs last week for the school play and the cast list was put up yesterday. Well my son's girlfriend also tried out. He got a part and she didn't. She is a...

hmkoct5 I've done too many stupid things for love! Hopefully, it won't affect his future roles. I know how much he likes acting! It's sweet that he did that for his girlfriend. I'm sure it made her feel good. He was being chivalrous! Someday, he will probably look...

I Want to Know about a site called UVioO

ladym33 @ladym33 (10979) • United States 20 Feb 13

I signed up for a site a couple of days ago called UVioO where they pay you for sharing videos. It seems a little too good to be true and a little too easy to earn money really fast. I was just wondering if anybody else is on...

hmkoct5 It is definitely too good to be true. You really have to spend some time on the site to figure out how it really works. It is great to begin with, but as time goes on, it becomes all about marketing and getting referrals. If you like to do that sort of thing,...

I Ate Potato Chips Yesterday

ladym33 @ladym33 (10979) • United States 15 Feb 13

As someone who is a diabetic and usually behaves I went a little off the wall yesterday. There are some things going on in my life that are stressing me out so bad. I don't normally eat potato chips but I saw them in the store and...

hmkoct5 I think you're allowed to have something bad for you every once in a while, especially when under such a huge amount of stress. I usually go for sweets, instead of salty. When I am stressed, I have a hard time eating, but I can usually get some ice cream in me...

Frustration with Writing Site

ladym33 @ladym33 (10979) • United States 5 Feb 13

I will not name the site but it is one of the sites I write for. I have written 90 articles on there, but they have been having some sort of technical problem since Sunday and only 15 of my 90 articles are viewable. That means I...

hmkoct5 That sounds very frustrating. Have they got it fixed now? I am writing this a week later, so I'm hoping that it is fixed now. I haven't had any problems on sites for a while now. That is good! It is hard when you do so much work and the site goes under....

I Just Got Done Shoveling the Snow

ladym33 @ladym33 (10979) • United States 5 Feb 13

hmkoct5 We will probably never have to shovel snow where I live. It's actually been a warm winter. Most days have been in the seventies and the evenings in the fifties. It's been pretty much perfect weather. I guess we're lucky we don't have to shovel snow, but I do...

hmkoct5 That's a great memory. I guess I don't have any one memory. But, it is more cumulative. We used to go to see my grandparents (an 8 hr drive from where we lived) every year at Christmas. We would have Christmas Eve at my Grandpa's house and Christmas Day with...

Car?

unconscious @unconscious (32) • United States 28 Dec 12

When is the age appropriate time a person should buy a car, considering I'm 17 at the moment.

hmkoct5 I would try to wait as long as possible. Owning a car is a big investment and it is very expensive to maintain. My son is 17 and we keep telling him to wait as long as he can. He can save money and buy it when absolutely necessary. In the meantime, he won't...

hmkoct5 My dog does this too. I don't understand it all. We have cats in the neighborhood that travel through our back yard. My dog can't resist rolling around in their poop if he gets the chance. I don't know why. I try to stop him, but sometimes I can't get there in...

Paternity Leave

Amber @AmbiePam (92711) • United States 3 Nov 12

hmkoct5 My husband is a teacher, so I know how this goes from his point of view. Does you school have the ability to look at your son's academic progress on line? Like for ours, we can log in every day and see what they are doing, what they are missing, see what their...

hmkoct5 If a parent is going along and will be there to supervise, then I think it's ok. It's something he will remember the rest of his life. I'm sure he would love to tell everyone all about being at the midnight release and he paid for it himself, which means it is...
