  1. never! i know your sordid pepsi past
  2. I look forward to seeing how various family members will explain how their not drinking caffeine sodas still makes them morally superior to my Dr. Pepper drinking self *^.^*~
  3. You do not tell a family to change their little boy's name. To even suggest doing so shows an amazing lack of respect for deaf people.
  4. My 6 weeks of maternity leave was classified as short-term disability, which was 60% of pay. Gratuitous thank you to employer who provided paid maternity leave: I was glad that it was enough to keep my insurance going. I then took another 2 weeks which was classified as 'bonding', which was unpaid. I was just glad I already knew about how to breastfeed before going back to work this time around ^^
  5. I am looking forward to showing off the Boise temple to my new member husband ^^
  6. If I worked for a company that offered longer maternity leave I'd be loyal forever ^^
  7. Kbear 101 Idaho's Only Real Rock Station Weird Idaho Laws " Ille*gal for a man to give his sweet*heart a box of candy weigh*ing less than fifty pounds. "
  8. Idaho - Dumb Laws - Strange Laws Remote control hunting using the internet is illegal. So is betting on the outcome of elections ^^ Oh and I forgot, here in the city you can now keep chickens, but you can't keep rabbits. Not that that's going to stop ppl
  9. I'm glad your vehicle is working, RB. IDK how this thread went into real rape vs. fake rape, I think we all agree letting rapists have rights to children conceived in rape is a really stupid idea. In Idaho it is illegal to fish from a camel, and from a giraffe. I would really like to know who thought there was a need for this...
  10. We're getting a chik-fil-a in Twin, yay! It's always exciting to see a new restaurant open in a town that already has about 50 already
  11. no. no no no no no no no no no. No. NO. Nyet. Sheesh it's hard enough to try to raise a taller-than-average teen to have good body-image. I had no idea ppl would even think about this stuff for teens and preteens. I guess getting this kind of info late is a result of banning all 'women's magazines' from the house
  12. It's kind've a fun thing, to be in the 'rebel cult'. Anyways... You should have seen the Magic Valley area when the Twin Falls temple was being built. One church in particular seemed to think that if we had a temple, in a place where the majority of people were members of the LDS church, it would surely usher in Armageddon and all sorts of calamities would befall our fair Idaho, and indeed this very nation. It was pretty hateful and suprisingly well- organized.
  13. I always go back to my favorites, like less than jake and the offspring. what I love about our globaliness is that we have so many more options. My guilty pleasure music is and
  14. Anne didn't say there was a violation of free speech, she said there was a defense of free speech.
  15. 9 Investigates: Welfare Drug Testing | www.wftv.com This article sums up what's going on in Florida. A few things: the applicants pay for their own drug testing, reimbursed at a later time if the drug test is negative. the cost is $30-40. IDK about anyone else, but when I was at my poorest and seriously contemplating asking for help that $30-40 would have been HUGE. And, I did not know Idaho did this as well. I'll have to investigate to see what our numbers look I've never been asked to pay for any pre-employment drug screening. has anyone had to pay for theirs?
  16. Where to start....seriously, idk where to even start.
  17. I have good news! It's been 2 days since I woke up in pain I am thrilled that the end seems to be in sight. It's still sore in spots but def an improvement, a dramatic one, no less. Thank you all for your suggestions, they made me go to the internet and I found a really neat site for all stuff tooth-related Animated-Teeth.com: Illustrated consumer information about dentistry and dental issues. It seems to be a fairly easy-to-use site. Iggy, I hope you feel better!
  18. Last March I started having incredible toothaches, and like the procrastinator I am I did nothing about it. Mostly lazy, partially not knowing exactly what my dental covered. After a few months I realized I was going through about 24 ibuprofin tablets a day, and that got me worried..so through the next few weeks I researched toothaches and my dental plan, then made an appointment last month. Turns out I had 3 wisdom teeth coming in wrong, which was shattering 3 molars. Ow. Well, as way turns to way and the river of life goes on, and my basic procrastinating nature, I decided to get all 6 of the offending teeth removed at once. I don't regret my decision, but I could use some help with dealing with the pain. It's been 2 weeks and still hurts like crazy, but not as much as last week lol. Any advice? Thanks!
  19. I forgot this part. I tend to forget it a lot more than I should, all the time lol. But it's true for the both of us, Ana.
  20. I saw your pics, Ana, and was struck by how cute you are! Adorable, really. It sounds to me like you need a hobby. Of course there's volunteering, that's an excellent way to get out of your head. Church activities, scrap booking, crafting, MMOs (I recommend FFXI lol). There's so much! Just an idea ^^ You might want to get one of those little bikes, not a huge exercise bike but the one that just has foot pedals. Or a set of dumbells? You can use them while working on your pc, watching tv, reading. I'm getting one of the bike pedals for my husband for when he plays his video games
  21. I blame Monsanto. When one company controls almost 70% of the seed markets you lose the genetic diversity needed to withstand droughts. /off soapbox
  22. I've been feeling like this, too. No way am I moving to Missouri
  23. Am I the only one who thought of World of Warcraft? Yes, I have no help for you, OP. I can remember a talk about avoiding addicting stuff, but I couldn't tell you who or when, except it was within the past 8 years lol.
  24. I think she was just showing off, it fits with what we've learned of her personality ^^
