Morning everyone!!!   I didnt get my house finished up yesterday like I had wanted to...I got a litle distracted and started working on other things in each room so I had a few little projects started.  Im gonna try and get at least the downstairs done so yall can see it. I have some beading that I want to do as well.  There are a few pieces that I want to finish before I get my big order of beads in next week.   I ordered worth of beads and 2 books...so that'll keep me busy...Now I just need people to buy em.  A friend of mine said she'd buy them if she was in the states (she lives in Isreal) so hopefully she comes to the states soon!!!  Other then that hopefully its a better day then yesterday.  Kinda had a blowout w/ my old landlord.  But i dont feel like going into it, dont wanna get aggravated again. 

Hope y'all have a great day!!

 Good Morning!

Sorry about your blow up Shannon, hope it works out...good luck selling your jewelry.

Hope everyone has a great pain free day/weekend!

I would love to talk to any and all of you today and in the future.

Thanks so much,

newby from Bama

       

Welcome. You will have alot of freinds here. I do not know so much about MSRA. I have been busy trying to learn about RA and have been doing all my research in that area. Sorry you have this complication. Some diseases conflict with others as if one is not enough. You will be going threw alot of thinking and scared is the norm. I get scared alot sometimes. It is best to talk about it. I pray for a good outcome for you welcome.

Thanks Milly,

MRSA is not fun especially when you are the "exception to the rule" when it comes to facial area.  It isn't supposed to go there, but ..alas, just my luck it has.  The newest problem RA is very scary and I have to admit somewhat mysterious.  I really love the fact that I can talk to all of you that really know the answers, unlike those in the medical field that have never experienced it.

Sorry i left bama. My buddy was having a problem with med side effects and i am sort of having me own problems today. I should really go take a bath? Oh hi Katie. Be patient with us we tend to disappear some times.I said on the poo thread I missed you. Really i did and i said LMHinneyO

Later all of you,

 

 

 hello Milly Katie and welcome Bamagal

It may look like I'm here all the time but my 'puter is messed up...I have to stay signed in til the PC guy fixes my problem...not ignoring anyone

So sorry for you Bamagal, MRSA must be awful and to have RA on top of it is certainly scary. Hope you get relief soon, and the MRSA gets healed up. Stick around...you'll get much well informed help here.

 

Vacation was great! Who wants to hear the pregger cousin story?

 

You get to hear it anyway.

 

So I got to mom and dad's, and spent the night. The next morning we drove north about 5 hours to Spooner to see the rest of the family. We stopped off at my Grandma's house. While there, my aunt (from the other side of the family) called and said "Well I hate to tell you this, but your cousin upstaged you. You'll never guess how....SHES PREGNANT"

 

Now, this is the one who got preg. at 17, and ended up marrying the baby's daddy. The babby's daddy (Jerry) was busted at 18, going online and looking at kiddy **. Got an 18 month prison sentence (did not serve it all) 3 years probation and we think life on the sex offender list. The kids he was looking at were single digit ages....

 

For about 2 weeks she and Jerry had been telling everyone "oh don't come over, Jessica (dumb cousin) has the flu!" Pfftt...my Grandpa went over to pick up the baby so I could meet her, and said to Jerry "Jessica's been sick for a long time, maybe she should go to the doctor" To which Jerry smirks and goes "well didn't you hear? She's pregnant"

ARGH! AND AND WE THINK THEY PLANNED IT. She has no DL, no HS Diploma, no GED, no job, and she could care less to get/do any of it. He works, but ya know, he's a sex offender. He can NEVER be left alone with his own daughter, or this next kid. He can never take her to school, never take her to a park, never take her to the Y, anything like that. So WTF do they do when she starts school and gets sick? Who the hell's going to pick her up? He can't even drive Jessica up to the school to pick her up. He has to stay X number of feet/yards whatever away from places like that.

 

*bangs head into wall*

 

So that was a trip, lemmie tell ya.

Milly~sorry that you are feeling so very bad.  I hope this resolves itself quickly. 

Bama~welcome to the board...you will get a great advice and friendship here.  I hope you will let us walk through this with you. 

Link~I am going to do some working out too today.  I am so very frustated with the way I am feeling. 

Mona~I do think a pink work out suit will work for you.  How are you my friend? 

OK Shelly, I love ya, but that is not 100% true......My husband has to register as a sex offender..why? cause he was stuid doing drugs drinking etc and ended up sleeping w/ a 16 yr old when he was 20.  He was unaware that she was 16.  He served his time and knows what he did wrong (this was all before him and i started dating etc).  I see no reason to not trust him and I whole heartedly know that he will never do that again.  Now there are alot of things, as a family, that we are not allowed to do.  We cannot live w/in 500 ft of a school and he is not able to go on school grounds unless it pertains to his daughter.  He is not in anyway a bad person but because he has to register people assume that he is.   Yes there are a lo of BAD people out there that have to register that should resister but know the whole story before you catagorize everyone that does indeed need to register.   Another example.   My friends brother in law needs to register though he never commited a sex crime.  A few years ago he stole a car now knowing there were kids in the car and once he realized they were there he stoped and got out of the car but was still charged w/ kidnapping and therefore they are making him register as a sex offender.  
Sorry it just bothers me when people assume that they are all horrible people and I dont care about publicizing this on the internet since its all public record..

 

Hey Shelly...I'm doing good...hope you're feeling better. You've been having another rough time I read. So sorry hon

Yea Link was supposed to walk a mile for me, instead she tried to kill me and ran the whole mile!

I guess I have a problem lumping everyone in the same pile.  There are definite preditors....those are who I was referring too.  Your examples are lack of judgement, but probably not the same as a preditor.  Sorry for the misunderstanding. 

I understand a lot about preditorial behavior, b/c I was the recipient of preditorial behavior.

No, its ok...It just really bothers me because people automaticly assume because someone registers as a sex offender they are preditors and dont bother to find out what really happened.  My DH could have gotten out of it since he was on drugs etc but hes said many times.  I did it, it was wrong and I served the time that I was soposed to.  Now my father for a long time didnt see it that way and is slowly coming aroundSo how are all the cows Katie? Did you ever get to eat any cheese? Did you ever solve your cheese delima?

A coach of Trey's had an affair with a 16 yr old student, he was 25 and married with a 3 yr old daughter. He spent 2 yrs in prison, and the stuff he goes through to see his child is unbelievable. I think he was an idiot, an adulterer but I know he would never molest a child. He will be a registered sex offender for life.

 Me too Milly...and my hubby is the best! Back then...(showing my age)...no one thought much about it, a lot of girls were married in HS. I was barely graduated, lol

So is pink good? Mona or we going with adifferent color jogging suit?

Shannon, your hubby is FAR from what this guy is. He was looking at girls that were 5 years old. SICK SICK STUFF Plus, we are seriously starting to wonder if there was more to the story. What kind of person gets THAT long of a sentance and probation just for looking? Or are they that hardcore now? We really don't know. My neighbor is a sex offender, but it doesn't say any details. Just says with someone 16 or younger, but it does give the date of the offence, and he was only 18 at the time. We're betting his g/f ratted on him. He seems like a decent guy now (he's 36ish) So you just never know!

Milly, Pink is SUPER. I heart pink!

I agree Katie~ I heart pink too!!

As for the other....there is a definite difference between preditors and a stupid act of youth or just stupidity at it's best.  Preditors usually have many victims and not just a one time deal too.  Also, if the person is within two years of the person's age; say a 16 y/o with an 18 y/o they are not calling it a sex offense anymore.  Even though the 18 y/o is said to be of legal age.  I hate how some stupid teenage indescretion is marked as a "sex offense", because they are completely different. 

I know a few years back it was thought to be great for a women of 15 to marry a man in their mid twenties, because they were established and could provide for their brides.  Although I look at my daughter and she is not ready to get married at 17, but I know that in other generations she would have been starting her family.  I am not sure if that was good or bad. 

Oh Katie the guy sounds sick that is for sure. Stupid cousin is a what i would say also. What can you do but pray and keep an eye on these kids.

So Justin's mom was SUPPOSED to call him when she got back to TN. But of course, she never did. At some point today, she left him a voicemail. It basically said that she had a good time, but that he was not her son any more. She said that *I* had changed him, and basically that she didn't like it. She acted as if him cleaning up his act and growing up (not getting into trouble with computer crimes, etc etc) was a BAD thing.

 

*sigh* Justin is taking it really well, he pretty much said "oh well, not my problem" Which is good. I think his plan is to make sure he always knows her phone #, and she always knows his. But when she calls, unless its an emergency he is going to be "busy"

What do you all think? Good idea?

You know my thoughts Katie...Im sorry she is being the way she is....Just remember I'll share my mom if he needs on
