I live in Massachusetts. I was literally in shock when I looked out my window (I heard the screaming before I saw anything) and saw what was happening. There were tons of adults and other children outside as well RIGHT NEXT TO where this woman was abusing her child, and no one did anything. A few of them LAUGHED. It was…

Aaaah okay. That makes sense. I have no problem at all being a witness or anything like that. I'm just kind of afraid of the girl downstairs' boyfriend and his creepy friends. Knowing they won't find out I made the complaint unless something goes to court is good to know. Either way, honestly, if it happens again I will no…

I haven't watched American Idol in a while, except for the initial auditions which I watch just so my fiance and I can yell at the tv when they pick the wrong people for hollywood. Might have something to do with how I auditioned for season 2 and that didn't turn out so well...LOL

:smooched:

Oh, I definitely agree. I'd take any job I can get at this point. I've applied everywhere and I do follow up with phone calls. Hopefully soon I will find something. Thank you everyone for your kind words and help!

Just a note, this isn't the first time I've had to call the police about stuff going down in my parking lot. Last year there was a group of adult men making lewd comments to the 15 year old girl who lives across the hall from me, and she was trying to walk away from them but they kept grabbing her and laughing. After that…

I told them all of this. I was really flustered though because I can't even remember the color of the car because I was so upset about what was going on after I got the plate # down that I just went to my fiance (who had just come home from work right after the woman pulled out of my parking lot) and asked him where to…

I called the police department and the man who took down the info asked me a TON of information about myself, too. I'm paranoid he's going to tell this woman that I made the call about it. Are they even allowed to tell people who called? I'm glad they're looking into it but I don't want this kind of person knowing anything…

I don't even know if you can report this kind of thing, but I just saw a woman in my apartment building's parking lot beat the crap out of her little boy. He was on the ground crying and she was literally kicking him and screaming. :mad: I wrote down her car's plate but I don't know her name, just that her kid stays with…

Unfortunately the only route I could go when it comes to my depression is getting a new doc who will reffer me to another psych, because my parents would help me pay for that. My fiance and I have no money whatsoever to spend on anything other than bills and life necessities like food. I'll write that down, though, and…

This is not necessarily true. She won't be able to do any fancy strokes or swim competitively, but she could very well be able to swim well enough to go to the pool or the beach and be comfortable in the water. My fiance is 24 years old and he won't put his head in the water, but he can swim just fine.

Definitely tell the teacher that you don't feel she is ready to go under. I've coached swimming in the past (at the Y and for the special olympics) and it can definitely scar her to force her to go under before she is ready to do it.

Yep! Those are the agencies I was talking about when I said I use them. I got a response last week to an application, but I never got the call the email told me to expect.

We're not paying for the wedding (thank god), my mom is. I don't have any friends in MA where we live, though, so all of the planning is totally on me. My bridesmaids live in Florida and Texas. I know that having to pay for everything would increase the stress an unimaginable amount, but I'm still having a hard time with…

One of the schools I've been to was like that! The very young kids (I'm talking 3-4 year olds) were learning about black holes and totally understood the concept.

Unfortunately books haven't helped me. My PCP put me on fluoxetine but it did not help, and she will not prescribe me anything else unless I see the psychiatrist SHE wants me to see (whom I refuse to go to because I do not want to see a male and his wife was my old PCP who I did not get along with at all). I'm trying to…

I appreciate them!

Yeah, I have. I've gotten all of my nanny jobs in the past through agencies and I've been searching for other jobs the same way. It's been three months and I've only gotten two calls, neither of which ever called me back when I returned them.

I'm not really sure what you mean. I will try pretty much anything right now (anything legal anyway :laugh: ). How did you do this?

Thank you. It's just hard not to stay in bed all day and cry because my fiance and I have last minute wedding prep to do (94 days until the wedding) and the money stuff and the wedding stuff is just making everything in my apartment really stressful. :brokenheart:

I lost my job in November (nanny). I've applied EVERYWHERE for EVERYTHING (I'm talking from other nanny jobs to McDonald's to jobs at the mall and random jobs on craigslist) but nobody has called or emailed me back. I think the economy probably has a lot to do with it, since people are losing their jobs and I doubt many of…

:noway: :noway: :noway: Wow. There are two Montessori schools that I've been to/observed for classes/had kids I've nannied for attend here in Massachusetts and they were both fantastic. I'm in total shock that a child in 6th grade would think Africa is Texas! I guess these schools can differ widely!

I've only nannied for children who go to Montessori schools, since I do not yet have children of my own. I have taken courses that go pretty in depth with this type of learning, and based on that and how the kids I've nannied for have liked the schools and done well in them, I can say that my kids will be going to a…

I did really well yesterday! I went to the gym for an hour and fifteen minutes with my fiance and all of my food goals were on target except for being a bit over in sodium. :smile:

Unless you really like ~side effects~ like those associated with the pill Alli, I wouldn't recommend a sea salt cleanse. :sick:

I am a 34DD right now, and was a 38DDD at my highest weight in 2006. When I lost weight in 2006 I got down to 154 (I'm 5'9") and they were more like a 34B. Even now that I've gained a lot of weight back they still look like I've breastfed a whole litter of kids. I don't think anything can fix it but surgery, unfortunately.…

I only have 95 days until my wedding, so I don't even know if I should join a challenge with people who have so much more time to go. Since my wedding is on a cruise ship and both my entire family and my fiance's family will be on board for 8 days (some of them are gorgeous thin ladies) I want to look at least half way…

I'm getting married on May 23rd, so I don't have a whole lot of time and I know reaching my ultimate goal weight by then is impossible. I definitely want to look a lot better by then than I do now, though!

I already emailed these in, but I'll post them too. Weight: 179.0 (as of this morning) Neck: 14 Chest: 39 Arm: L- R- 13.75/13.5 Waist: 32.25 Hips: 42 Thighs: L- R- 24.5/24 Hmm...bad habits. My worst habit is snacking after dinner. I mean like an entire box of cereal "snacking". I think having just some fruit or vegetables…

WOW! THAT'S AWESOME! :happy: This is my first week too. Hopefully I can lose half as much as you did!
