Roxy15

Congrats:) she is a cutie:) Hope your baby and wife are doing ok:)

Now I am second guessing myself...talked to my cousin on facebook last night. She told me she had been in an auto accident and she got a half million dollars. I am glad that she lived..that is the most important thing:) Now I am second guessing myself when the judge gave the money I deserved to have away! My lawyer threatened to appeal the decision so the people who got the money, decided to give me 5,000 dollars. I needed the money and decided to take the 5,000 rather than take the risk of getting 0 money! My cousin has one more surgery left. We both had surgeries..too many to count..the only difference was I was in a coma, I was paralyzed amd I had a cornea transplant. Thanks goodness she wasn't in a coma or paralyzed like I was. I thank my blessings that I am alive and more..but..now I am doubting my decision for not appealing the judges decision. Do you think I was right to not appeal? I know it is too late now...but..am wondering if I messed up by not appealing and need an answer from someone who knows if I messed up big time.

Ok...the people by our house that I talked about once, where she put her boyfriends clothes outside in a container after fighting the night before and through her cell phone out..well apparently she took him back. I was sitting outside yesterday later in the afternoon and I heard alot of fighting going on over there again and thought somoneone was going to blow someones head off! I saw a different neighbor of mine was outside...so I went and told him that there was a big fight going on over there and that my hon wasn't home yet from work and was nervous. He told me they are always fighting over there and that he would keep an eye out on our house. I had no idea they were together again. We went and talked to our neighbor later who was keeping an eye out and he told us that he saw cops all over the place awhile ago..but..that the guy who was causing the fight again..had taken off before the cops could get there. Man I wish they would just move and get out of here! Am so sick of it. With the housing situation the way it is...you never know who you are going to get as neighbors. Good news though..my hon's team won their softball game last night:) Another himmm though...we were on our way home last night and a car by us...yes..it was a woman driver...was smoking a cigarette, talking on her cell phone and trying to drive at the same time..that drives me crazy! I wish a cop would of been there to see it and nail her you know what! My sister who does talk to me..finally joined facebook:)whohoo:) so that made my morning start off right:)

I want to change my puter wallpaper to something to do with the Huskers. Could any of you please suggest some wallpapers for me when you have time? And Remember....We Are Family:) Love ya all

Even though I am a womaan.(.watch the woman patrol come after me on this one lol) I will say this: Women can be bitches big time...I like men a heck of alot better to have as friends and could care less if I have a woman friend to hang out with and would rather watch a football game or baeball game with guys to get input on the games..and not talk shopping talk..ugh. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJPgxEi2BM8uskerfans

fro daddy..hope I typed your name right...I am so very sorry...geez..what is it with families who treat us like this anyway.. my sister- the social worker...cleaned out my bank account and never gave me the money that I had in it...she gave me 50.00 a month to live on when she was conservator...I called her when our sister died..I got the answering machine..left my phone number in case she wanted to find out the details..she never called me..she didn't give a crap and she did something else that really hurt me..but..I will keep my mouth shut on that one..it hurts me too bad. I don't think Alice on The Brady Bunch could even fix these family messes on here... Ok...bad joke...seriously...I am sorry for you and other members on here who have family crap like I do. Maybe we should have a big keg slumber party at my house and I will make appetizers ok? Who is game on that one? Love you all...hugggssss

I bet we could have a long talk.. My sister who won't talk to me...HATES to cook...when I was staying with her while I went to rehab...I don't remember her cooking at all...she ordered out alot. She did let me cook one meal because I begged her to let me. Her hubby really liked it and thanked me. I hate take out food all the time. I am very sorry about your wife's family situation..so sad. I am trying so hard to let the paat go and move on..but..when it comes to family...that hurts me alot. Take good care.

This HMMM>..is one of my biggest I talked to my sister on the phone just now...our other sister who was guardian and conservator of me when I was ill..won't talk to me on the phone. I asked my sister who will talk to me why our sister won't talk to me and she told me that our sister just doesn't think we have anything in common. I told my sister that I think being family should be common enough. I just don't get it why our sister who won't talk to me took time to help me when I was in the hospital, etc. and why she won't have anything to do with me. It makes me very sad. She got money from SSI for one thing and more when I was ill being my conservator. I would hate to think it was just for the money. Well..at least I know in my heart that I have tried to contact her. And to think she is a social worker and got the Big Sister Little Sister Award once..go figure. Am I the only one who has a dysfunctional famiy? I wonder sometimes.

Thank you for accepting my apology:)

I owe you an apology and hope you accept it. I was a b-tch! I should stay away from topics that concern drunk driving. My dandruff gets riled up too much when it comes to drunk drivere...so sorry. It wasn't fun putting my life back together and all the therapy I had to go through. I feel real bad for familys who get loved ones killed or hurt by drunk drivers. Again...I am so sorry.

I have no idea what you meant by "make Roxy-pleasing decisions in everything they do" and I don't really care either! You don't know me from Adam! Am I perfect? NO..noone is! You are right that parents are not to blame for the actions their kids are resonsible for. My point was that I don't care how nice the parents are and I still don't care either! Their kid is responsible for killing people..that is all...should the blame be put on the parents...NO! I just wish more parents woud take the time to talk to thier kids about the consquences of drunk driving! Maybe his parents did talk to him- and if they did talk to him about it..apparently he didn't listen! For being an honor student..he sure didn't use his brains by drinking and driving! GEEZ....Roxy making decisions is uncalled for..I AM NOT PERFECT AND NEVER CLAIMED TO BE!

Cook the vegetables until they begin to soften and caramelize. Remove the vegetables from the pan, and pour in red wine. Deglaze the pan using the red wine, be certain to scrape the browned bits off of the pan with a spoon.

Spoon on potatoes. ***You can Deep Fry the skins once they are hollowed out. Just long enough to get golden brown then use the oven to melt everything together. ***Be careful not to scoop too much from the bottom or the potato skin will tear.

I agree with you..the ones who drink and drive that end up hurting someone or killing somone..NEVER get hurt! And it pisses me off big time that repeat drunk drivers never seem to learn their lesson and don't pay by getting their you know what in jail! That really pisses me off! Schlichtemeier was convicted in Lancaster County Court of driving while intoxicated in 2008. I know this isn't about me..but..it pisses me off big time that the a-hole drunk driver who put me in a coma..didn't have to spend one day in jail!!! I have no sympathy for drunk drivers and I don't give a rat's a_s how nice their parents are either!! If they were good parents at all..they would of sat down with their kids...tell them the consequences of driving drunk or better yet..take them to a rehab center where innocent people have paid big time by getting hit by a drunk driver..let them see innocent people in wheelchairs...head trauma and more!!! I HATE DRUNK DRIVERS AND I HOPE THE COPS NAIL EVERY DRUNK THAT DRIVES!!! AND IF THEY PASS THE TEST THEY HAVE TO TAKE TO SEE IF THEY ARE DRUNK..I STILL DON'T THINK THAT THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO JUST GO ON THEIR MERRY WAY....MAKE A FRIEND OR SOMEONE PICK THEM UP OR SOMETHING!!' For being an honor student...HE HAS NO COMMEN SENSE!!! AND THAT MAKES HIM STUPID!! ok..done venting....drunk driving pisses me off big time!! My hearts go out to the family and friends who had loved ones who died.
