Thanks for all the info! She has 2 charges, theft by deception and theft by taking. The 13yo lives with her dad & stepmom with very little visitation to my sister.

I will let you know next time I make them! Hubby is bring more tequila! I didn't have enough to make one drink. 2 and It'll be lights out, makes me sleepy!

Exactly, she was NOT thinking! And I am sure she will have to pay a least some of it back.

You would have been happy at my house last night...burgers on the grill w/ home made fries and cucumber salad. Except one of the cucs I cut up had a funny taste and ruined it all! We are either having breakfast for dinner or pork chops w/ green beans & mashed potatoes. I don't know if I feel like sweating over the grill! I could use a margarita or 2 today!! I might have to break out the Patron and make one!

This apparently came from her attorney, but I find it hard to believe she could serve time and NOT pay it back. Maybe he was trying to make her feel better. He sounded like an a$$ anyway...The person she stole it from deserves to have it paid back. He has a family, too.

My mom has been trying to "fix" it for her. She owes my mom close to $13,000 if you add up all of the house payments, car payments, bail and attorney fees my mom has paid. Oh, and $5,000 when she went to court in Jan as part of the attempt to make restitution. She said she was going to draw up a paper that says when she dies, my sister has already gotten her share of money. I told her I would drive her to have it notarized!! It sounds like you have sister issues, too. We should start that group Mei Lan mentioned!

She is under the impression that she will NOT have to make restitution payments since she is serving time. Everyone I have talked to and things I have read online say that she WILL have to pay still. I can not bear to tell my mom this b/c she will worry more...

It won't really work in her favor. Her probation officer said she could either be at the jail by noon today or a warrant would be issued. She would have gotten her sentance shortened if she would have been able to come up with any of the money that was due by July 5...she didn't have a dime. Now we just have to wait to see how long she will have to be there. From what her lawyer said, she will have a court date in a few weeks.

I know, it was totally, 100% SELFISH. I am more worried about how my mom & nieces are handling all of this. She has to face the punishment for what she did. The doctor she took the money from has a wife and kids....she didn't think about them either. I love her very much but I am still angry about what she did. What amazes me is that she had nothing to "show for it". WTH did she do with the money??? I guess we will never know. Thank you all for the prayers!

Speaking of dropping kids off, Wed my husabnd & I went to Six Flags KID FREE and stopped at Wal Mart on the way since I left my sunglasses at home. We went into McD's (inside WM) to get some food so we didn't spend a million dollars on something at Six Flags and some lady had dropped her 3 kids off in there to eat while she shopped in WM!! The kids (2 girls and a boy between the ages of maybe 7 & 11) were fighting and the boy was doing some MAJOR whining and some man turned around and asked where their parents were. Mom came strolling in a few minutes later with 3-4 bags of stuff. WHO

Long story short, my sister did something incredibly STUPID (stole $70,000 from the dentist she worked for) and got busted. Today she had to put her big girl panties on and turn herself in to jail. She has 2 felonies against her so she may have to serve 4yrs, we will find out in a few weeks. I guess that over the course of 3 years while she was stealing the money, she didn't think she would get caught. She certainly didn't think about how it woulf affect her future or her entire family...TOTALLY selfish... PLEASE keep her 2 daughters and our mom in your prayers. Our mom is 68 is a tota

The bathrooms are the FIRST thing I look at!! Here is the Ga State Parks website. Lot's of great info on there, it'll probably have info about internet connection as well! Upper Stamp Creek is on the Ga Parks site, too. It was really small, clean bathrooms and they had a little sandy beach area for swimming. They are only open Friday thru Monday. We drove thru it the day after the 4th and there were only 2 campsites being used.

What area are you in? I can ask hubby if there are any problems that they may be working on around you.

Small hijack: did you get your ring off? I hate it when people mix up words...eg: I am going to sale (instead of SELL) my car, I know you don't won't (instead of WANT) to make the long drive...Won't is a contraction for WILL NOT!! It really bothers me when people flick cigarette butts out the car window, and when people play ghetto rap with their windows down, nobody wants to hear that crap!

We went to Tanner a couple of weeks ago. We didn't camp, just spent the day. We did check out the campsites for future reference and the bathrooms seemed clean, the sites were close together but it is like that at most campgrounds we looked at. (My FAV was Upper Stamp Creek in Cartersville, only 20 campsites) My hubby & kids had a blast playing in the lake, I watched from the sand since lake water grosses me out! We even saw a guy walking a goat on a leash

I watched this last night and couldn't believe what some of those girls go through. The one that is in the photo having her eyebrows waxed also had a HORRIBLE spray tan courtesy of her stage mom. The dad didn't seem to like the idea of his daughter being in pageants but I have a feeling that the mom was NOT going to have it any other way! The girls are SOOOO much prettier without the TONS of makeup on and HUGE hair. I think they should do the pageants au natural. I have 3 girls and REFUSE to ever put them thru anything like this.

I am sorry this happened. I had the same thing happen when we got our privacy fence 3 years ago. The guy was even someone I grew up with and he never would come back to make it right. I hope that you can get the fence company to come fix their mistakes. I have no advice, I wanted to contact an attorney but my husband is too nice and said he would just fix it himself...I am still waiting for him to do it! (and lots of other projects) Good luck!

Try holding your hand upright, fingers toward the ceiling, for a while (I guess it allows any fluid to go out of the fingers, this worked when mine used to get stuck) then lube it up and try again! Lotion will just absorb into your skin so I would try RNG suggestion of hair conditioner. I hope you don't have to get it cut off!! I had a "pregnancy wedding ring", a cheap band, that I wore during the second half of all of my pregnancies once my good stuff got too tight! Good luck!

If you go to babiesrus.com there is a list of "must haves". It gives you a good idea of what you'll need and some extras that you may not think about. I have 4 small kids and HIGLY recommend a swing that goes front to back AND side to side, my kids all preferred the side to side setting! As far as registering, it makes it easier for you and the gift givers. They will know what you need/want and you will not get 10 of the same thing and have to return a bunch of stuff. You can register online thru most places and there are usually more options online than in the stores. Although, it was al

Go to Chattanooga! GA Aquarium is WAY over rated. It takes a little longer to get to Chat. but the tickets are less expensive and when we have been, it wasn't nearly as crowded as the GA Aquarium. If you go to GA, take noseplugs for the out of towners who don't believe in deoderant and LOTS of patience! Oh, and if you do GA, look into the City Pass. You can go next door to World of Coke and there are other attractions included in the ticket. One of which is Zoo Atlanta! I believe there is also a Chattanooga City Pass but I am not positive.

Well, my fish might not be healthy but it is good! RECIPE! I suppose you could season the fish & bake it IMO, the sauce is what makes them so yummy!! I leave out the jalepeno pepper though.

How do you air dry meat? Wouldn't it get nasty? Otherwise, the meal sounds wonderful!

I have only been there once, can't say I recommend the fish tacos, I prefer the way I make them. Their margaritas are good I will have to try them again soon!

I recently got one of their mega bundles and have not been disappointed with anything. The chichen breasts were great, I smoked a Boston Butt that was fabulous (my kids ate it after I explained it was not the butt of a Boston Terrier, which we have 2 of!) the ground beef makes great burgers and tonight I made country fried steak with the cube steak. Every time I have made CFS, it was tough and chewy. Tonight was the best we have EVER had b/c of the quality of their meat!! Oh, and the bacon...I don't normally eat bacon but their's is AWESOME!! I will never buy meat anywhere else!!

The "everyone pays kid's price" is still going on. You have to purchase tix in advance online (the commercial I saw also said there are coupons at Kroger) The kid's price is $31.99
