I thought it was very good. I can relate to the film, just not in that magnification. My faith and christianity has helped my stay in my marriage thru a lot. I am not Catholic, am of a christian faith. I have made the decision to forgive my husband of everything that has happened on my own, no outside influence, infact all of my outside influences have advised me to do the exact opposite. However, I did make a promise to God when we were married and with God's will I will keep my promise. I know I will be blessed for it one day.

He caint paint it, one on the outside at all, because he isnt paying the rent right now which will become a mortgage in september. And he was told that he can do anything to the inside with supervison. I am all about posters and black lights and even painting the walls with designs in woolight (it glows in black lights). However I will not have graffitti type destruction on the outside where the whole world can see it. Yes its his room, but its my property,(that I'm paying 200,000 dollars for) that I will be living in long after he has flown the coop. Its a respect thing...

If you and your husband have one room and the boys have the other room then who is in the third room? I think eleven is a bit too young to be out in the M-I-L house. I say make him move back inside where he can be monitored. I think taking away priviledges works very good with kids. What's his favorite thing?? His guitar. Take it away for awhile and tell him that when he can prove to you that he cares about his property he can have it back. Our daughter is in the third room. He is however moving back inside for the summer, b/c our middle son is spending the summer in TX with his grandparents so one of the bunks is open.

I will try to answer everything that was brought up... My son that did this is not my biological son, however I have been "mom" since he was 18M old. His birth mom chooses to not be around. My husband says I don't discipline the kids and this is why things are they way they are. Nothing could be further from the truth. I have spanked them all since they were old enough to get spanked and understand why, they all get grounded (from what and how long depends on their age). So if this isnt discipline, I have no clue what is. My son has issues with any female authority figure. The band room that I mentioned is where my son sleeps becuase dad thought it would be ok and it also gives him a place for his guitars and drums. There is no band yet, but he has been playing the guitar for going on two years and I must admit is quite good. We also only have a three bedroom home and he was previously sharing a bedroom with his two younger brothers and it was very crowded. This room is only maybe 1500 feet from the backdoor of our house. I was raised in a very strict "old-world" style home where my sister and I got knocked into next month for nearly everything. My dad was a bit overboard, but I would have never in a million years would have thought about spray painting my parents home. Even the friends I hung out (boys included) wouldnt have dreamed of doing this. When I took the friend home this morning, I spoke to his dad and all dad said to his son was "son a good rule of thumb is, if you didnt buy it, dont try it". No apology, no nothing. My husband has backed me on the decision I made to forbid our son from associating with this kid. Thanks for all of the feedback so far... I really helps me to see the broad picture by hearing others opinions. I must give dad kudos tho, he currently has our son out in the horse pasture picking up all the poop, and well we have two horses and a pony, so there is a lot of poop. On the home-schooling thing, I would love to be able to homeschool all of our kids, however, I work fulltime, and have an amazing job that pays really well working for The Methodist Conference. And as far as counseling goes, I have wanted to get him counseling for sometime, for two reason one to help me and him have a better relationship and two to help him work thru any issues he may have from his birth mom not being around. However, dad I can't say doesnt support the idea, but isnt totally into it. Maybe with him gone for 4 months I can get some counseling done. I love this child as if I had given birth to him, but he aggrevates the ever loving dog crap right outta me...

Last night I agreed to let my oldest son have one of his friends over. I had previously decided I didnt like this kid, becuase anytime my son was in trouble at school, this kid was apart of it. I really didnt know tho who was the instigator, so I let the kid come over to spend the night and give him a chance. About 11p, my husband called ( he is working out of state for the next four months) and he wanted to talk to our son. I took the phone outside to the band room where he and his friend were hanging out only to find that my son had spray painted the outside of the band room door (its actually a mother-in-law house). It looked like bridge graffitti. I was so mad I was shaking. My husband talked to him for awhile and our son had to stay up last night scrubbing the paint off with mineral spirits. Today he has to repaint the door. This morning when I went into the garage, I see where his friend had spray painted two of the panels on the inside of the gargage. His dad told me last night that he would sleep on his punishment, but by the way he was acting last night, nothing will be done. He says its just something 11 yro boys do.... I see this as a really big deal. Our son has been getting into trouble since the 4th grade, this year he was kicked off the bus twice and had ISS and work detail numerous times and was expelled once for a day. And this is normal to my husband??? I was considered a bad kid, but I didnt start getting into trouble until 7th grade and even then, I didnt do anything near as bad as this. I don't know what to do. No kind of punishment really works with our son. The only thing that really gets his attention and then it isnt for long is a good butt whoopin. We have tried everything from grounding to good (big) rewards for good behavior. The next 4 months with my husband working out of state is gonna be hard enough with out having an 11 yro that I can't control. (He is also as big as me at 11).. thanks for reading my long rant...

"AnyDVD" works great too!

I love spoons,but havent started collecting yet. Right now, I am focusing on Shot Glasses. My boss travels quite a bit and always brings me one or two back. My most favorite is from the Bahamas, its a jummy buffet shot glass, but it looks like a little margarita glass... I love collecting stuff!

Thanks for the chuckle Billy, I needed that!!!

Do it....you'll regret later in life not doing it! Ding! DING DING... Go for it, you only live life once and if your in a position to do something like that, by all means, do it and don't look back. If it doesn't work out, you'll have peace knowing at least you tried, if you don't go 50 years from now, you'll still be wondering "what if"...

ahhh... a man after my own heart..... that is the BEST cut, and BEST way to cook it... PERIOD!!!

I agree they suck rotten shitty monkey ass. I dont have enough time to waste listing all they have done too me. Just know this, if I had all the money that they haven taken from me for no just reason, I could buy the new AAD, that I so badly need....

ROFLMAO!!!

That would so make me barf... my gag reflex is so sensitive, anything at all at the back of my throat and Im gagging!!!

Are you trying to compete with Billy Vance? That is some truly disgusting shit... Im gonna go throw up in my mouth now...

I thought it was just me, I kept getting "fatal error" message and then some scropt about the forums...my computer is such a piece of bat crap that I never thought it wasnt my computer doing it...

yes, short trip to the ER, 6 months on crutches... lesson learned....

love that first pic... thats trippy!!!

I just had the best Ebay experience ever! As like many I have my Ebay horror stories, but I try to move on and use it especially when there is something I want. Well on May 1, I bought an older Javelin with a Triathalon 160 and a Tempo reserve for what I thought was a total bargin. I sent them a certified check for the rig and shipping + Insurance. Well today I get a letter from the sellers wife refunding me the difference between what they quoted me for shipping and what it actually costed. I was floored. Especially since the rig sold for (IMHO) a lot less than it was worth. I just wanted to share a "good" ebay story for once and if any of ya'll know Scott Best (he jumps in Ohio somewhere)..tell him thanks and that I'll buy him a jump if we ever meet up!!!

I guess we all have to believe in something. I don't have the mental reserve available to ask them what they think they are seeing tho, when they see pics of a ROUND earth????

love it its defintly a 10 in my book!

I just filled up at wal-mart for 2.98/gallon which was 3 cents cheaper than posted cause I used my wal-mart card...

Jump if your feelin froggy...

yes Im having one today while I sit at work with huge deadlines staring at me....

That was great!!!! Go Grandma!!!!

Where did you get this information? I didnt get it anywhere, I just know that i started becoming attracted to men and being boy crazy per se around the time of puberty. Up until then, I could have cared less about boys and it was all about competing in rodeos and hanging out with my girl friends....
