Not on purpose I don't think and I hope I never have to. There are just certain places that I never need or want to go. You're the one that brought Paulette Braddock. I don't recall singing her praises in this or any other post I've ever written. No, she shouldn't be representing anyone, but I opened a topic about Victor Hill not Paulette. One has nothing to do with the other.

Unfortunately, my mom would leave me and my sister with practically anyone who would watch us, that may be one of the reasons I am the way I am. Luckily, both of my daughters and 5th grader to this point, have missed out on the same things you and your brother did and that has been my goal all along. And I'm right there with you crawling on the jumpy thingies looking for my kid. Or better yet........bellowing his name in the middle of 80 kids. Hadn't lost him yet!!

:lol: :lol:

Has Paulette been indicted on 40 counts of anything? While she certainly isn't my idea of an ideal representative of this county, comparing her to Victor Hill is like comparing apples to oranges.

Hubby was on his way to work this morning and actually pulled over to call and tell me! We were talking about this a few days ago and were certain that there WAS NO WAAAAY he would land as sheriff. WTH!?!?!

That's what Hubby said too.

This is just cruel. Were they unable or unwilling to find food for these poor animals? And no water, that is unacceptable. Maybe the male and female should be denied food and water for a while too. There were beasts on that property, but not of the equine variety.

Indicted on 40 charges, says the most outrageous things and they re-elect him. WOW!

If your son is an adult and he hits a kid, he'll end up under the jail. It's really hard for me to believe that he is sitting at school, minding his own business and someone out of the blue comes up and starts kicking the car. Why hasn't he walked into school and reported this? Something isn't right about this story.

Is there a place where you can run and hide form that comment?? I think not!!!!!! :rofl:

Another side to this subject is, is that no 'regular' or 'normal' pageant people will ever be seen on TV. The only thing we will ever see are the over the top loons. I'm sure that there are good points and benefits in a pageant and it's a shame that only the crazy parents and horrible kids get a TV show, so most people will think that's all there is to it.

:clapping: This is one thing that people have a hard time grasping about our family, there isn't a family. 5th grader will never go off with his grandmother because shes a pill head and always has been. Of the two uncles, one lives out of state and he never sees him and the other has kids SOOO horrible, I'm more afraid of them than the stranger on the sidewalk. He is allowed to go off with Hubbys sister and her daughter, but besides that, he is with us, either Hubby or me or one of his sisters. There are two families that I let him spend time with, one we have known since he was in pre-k and

And that is exactly why I'm labeled as 'crazy' by so many people that I know. 5th grader has never and will never be left alone at practice of any kind, he's not allowed to wander around stores alone and up until about 4 month ago, he wasn't allowed to go into the mens restroom alone. But even now, I stand at the door and monitor him so closely, I think I make grown men uncomfortable to go in the themselves. Do I care? NOPE! I know where all the 'family' restrooms are and that is what prefer. The point is, is that my eyes or Hubby's are always on him, no matter what. I'm the mom, that's my

I agree with you there.

You are correct sir!

Oh Lord, don't even get me started on that one. My mother was in a coma.........a C-O-M-A........and she was refused disability, because the judge in the case couldn't speak with her, it sounds crazy, but I was there and I heard it with my own ears. However, I have family members who are alcoholics or pill heads and are on disability when there is NOTHING physically that should keep them from working. But they can ski, golf and do practically anything else. Yea, they're disabled alright.

You're not stupid, you're hopeful and optimistic and want the best for you bf. But sometimes 'the best' never comes for some people and unless you want to end up beaten down and defeated, you need to get some help yourself. It's a horrible road to travel, but this kind of behavior is like poison and your bf may never be better. Can you live like this forever?

Been there, done that with my MIL. It took 10 years to finally call it quits and it has been the most peaceful 2 months of our lives. It's a terrible, hard decision, but one that has to be made at some point. You can threaten and threaten and at some point you have to stand your ground and do what's best for you. For us, it was cutting her off. To some who have never dealt with it, it may seem harsh, but the terrible things that she heaped on for years was killing us and it had to stop. Her fault, not ours. I'm not saying that we will never speak to her again, but her actions in the comin

Honestly, I think the pageant circuit should be the least of the worries of this 'Honey Boo Boo' family. Can people really be this ignorant and still breath on their own? It's unbelievable!! And I do absolutely believe that these little girls are sexualized to the detriment of themselves and society. I wouldn't have wanted my teenage girls to act the way that these 'mothers' encourage their 4-8 year olds to act. And the fact that this is such a HUGE industry and to some it seems so mainstream, what on earth are they thinking? So many of these kids are nasty, spoiled, rude and not even real

Call the Marshall's office, I've called about several things in our neighborhood and they are very prompt to respond. We had a family two houses down that was collecting cars in their backyard with the idea to start a car lot. The Marshall came out and they were gone in two weeks. We have no HOA or covenants, but there are still county rules that people have to abide by.

Exactly, stare at it and don't glue anything until you have it just like you want it. I know it sounds odd, but I swear, it works.

You can go to Michaels and buy shadow box frames. I've made several and just finished one for Hubby for running the Peachtree Road Race for the first time. They have several sizes, depths and shapes that you can choose from. Along with the things you already have, I'd include pics from his early career, copies of any citations or awards he has received, any special or news worthy events he's been involved in, clips on promotions, etc. You can use the paper goods as a backdrop and put the more prominent things on top of them. A pic of his firehouse, the kind of truck he was on, his men

I'm sitting here weeping because of the last line in your post. We live this everyday and I wouldn't wish it on any family, anywhere. My granddaughter is beautiful and loving, but she will never be OK. As I wrote in another topic, she was a fine, fully functioning 4 month old, had her 4 month shots and within 12 hours, that baby was gone. We were left with a baby that didn't walk until she was almost 2, no talking until at least 6 and at 9 she is on the level of a 3-4 year old. I will NEVER believe that those shots were not the cause of her issues. Now, having said that, I'm not going to c

No kidding. I had State Farm and was in an accident with another State Farm insured, it was her fault when she turned left in front of me at an intersection and I broadsided her in the front quarter panel and passenger door. It took almost 2 weeks for an adjuster to even call me back, much less get a rental or to begin to pay for medical bills because I had been hurt. The settlement process was even worse. After they finally settled, I was cancelled because of my 'driving record'. First of all, we had had ins with the same agent for almost 20 years and had never had a claim. I had gotten one

EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT post. +100!!!!!!
