And, I'm not talking about WHO the stores sell to, I'm
And, no I don't buy from businesses that knowingly sell homosexual material of any type!
99-cent stores in Houston sell milk....
any fat content, 2 gallons for $3. Might be worth a shot if making cheese, though I don't know what the yield would be when converting liquid to solid. Sure beats the $4+ per pound price of cheese in the grocery store.
automotive stores sometimes - hardware stores
whatever is close - advanced auto, napa, whatever. It was rubbing alcohol by the way.
I would sell it on ebay, it would sell like -sm
a hotcake! Then possibly he could donate half of the money to a charity he likes and keep the other half as his prize for the contest, best of both worlds. This way he could maybe get himself a couple games with the money.
sizes
I found juniors to be about 2 sizes bigger than misses. LIke a size 8 jeans in misses for me came to a size 11 juniors.
sizes
I would say it is a 4X or 5X depending on style. Christopher Banks has nice clothes and they don't shrink after the first wash.
clothing sizes
I don't know if this would further offer assistance, but I have also been in junior-sized clothing, and I am in my early 40s. I was a size 0 in high school and am a size 1 or 3 now, depending on the brand/manufacturing, which in and of itself is of consideration. For instance, Old Navy only has even sizes, so I would be in a size 2 for that. Misses and juniors are "cut" differently. Misses are cut wider, with juniors narrower from "east to west" with both tops and pants/jeans. At 5ƈ" and 109 pounds, misses would be too wide/baggy for me, even with consideration of a conversion. I think misses and juniors are two different "animals."
Beagles come in two sizes...
There are 13-inch Beagles and 15-inch Beagles. We had a 15-inch Beagle that weighed 65 pounds. He was solid as a rock, and the vet said that he never had seen such a large Beagle in all the years he has been a vet. We now have another 15-inch Beagle that weighs 45 pounds. If you want a small Beagle, get a 13-inch.
What are the engine sizes?
3.3 L engine is more reliable.
clothing sizes
Shoe size 10 or 11
Misses size 16-18
Just in case the other poster's too small for your shopping finds! ;)
I'm terrible at guessing sizes, myself...sm
I know it seems impersonal to a lot of people, but if you can't figure out her size, how about a gift certificate? I always ended up taking clothes back whenever I got them for Xmas...and I learned to appreciate the gift certificates, that way I could pick out what I really wanted myself....just a thought, though.....
Perfume samples/trial sizes
I'd like to be able to buy some trial/samples of various perfumes. I've found a few random ones, even free ones, but I'd like to be able to try some of the expensive brands by just purchasing those small samples or trial sizes. So far I haven't found a very large selection of these websites and the ones I have found only had a few fragrances from which to choose. Anyone know where I can go to buy these for a decent price?
Thanks.
Yes, it was Dove. I agree that seeing older models of varied sizes..
helps us to imagine what clothing will look good on different body types and older/younger people. I know that Lands End used to have a feature called My Model, or something like that. You input your height, weight, measurements, even age, face shape, hair color and style, and you had a more or less realistic model, and the online shopper could then try the Lands End clothes on the model before buying. It was a little painful to be truthful and put in my measurements, and then see my cartoon model stand there in her underwear waiting to be dressed! LOL But I have to say that it was helpful. I tried on clothes that I thought would look great, and they didn't. When it came to a bathing suit, I actually tried on a recommended suit that I never imagined would look nice. It looked nice on the model and even better on me when it was delivered. It wasn't perfect, but it was a handy tool. I should go back and see if they still have that feature on their site.
Sounds great but what department
do you find this in? Never have seen in my Publix but certainly don't mind asking. I will get and try, anything to keep those babies off the new stuff.
Go to a department store and have it professionaly done. sm
You don't have to buy all the expensive products that were used on you unless you want to. Just pay attention to what is used and then go to a discount store and use cheaper products.
I agree. The health department
needs to go in and take over. The poor little girl is probably dealing with an alcoholic or drugged-up mother or maybe she's mentally ill. The little girl shouldn't be living with such an irresponsible mother. At the very least the health dept needs to go in and fumigate and clean them up and monitor the house and family members. Better that than having 30 families trying to contend with this problem.
I think Chadwick's might carry larger sizes, too. And stop in a bridal shop & at

Travel, travel and more travel
years ago took my children on really nice vacations, Mexico, Carribean, Greece and the like- now they are out and gone I travel by myself on tour groups, last year Alaska, this year another fab trip. My hubs and I go to Las Vegas a couple of times a year and then we go visit Mickey Mouse sometimes but I have the traveling bug more than he does.
When you travel...
prefer to stay at a hotel or with friends or relatives? I personally, as well as my immediate family, prefer to stay in a hotel. You can just do what you want to do. I have a relative who insists that she stay at my house and I just can't understand it. I wonder if I'm strange or if she is strange.
Check with your local department of the aging, too. nm

I guess I lucked out in the stepmother department
Because I honestly love her as much as my biological mother. I was 8 when my dad remarried, and to be honest, my sister and I were pretty much brats. It wasn't instant family love, but she and my dad worked together to make sure that none of us were treated any differently just because of who had which parent. She did look at it as an adoptive type situation and even gave me a cross stitch poem about how I didn't grow under her heart but in it. It has been 27 years since they married, I never call her my "step"mom except when I'm trying to clarify things for people, and I always tell people that I have 2 brothers and 2 sisters, not steps, halfs, full, whatever, because that is how we were taught. I know not every situation turns out like this, probably only a minority, but it does happen. I'm sorry if I offended anyone because that was not my intent.
I would check with your parks and wildlife department. sm
I believe in Texas it is against the law. It used to be and I think still is.
Deer are beautiful animals, but they are very destructive. They are best admired in the wild.
Ask for first/last name and then call local police department
to see if they will do a check on these people to see if there are any reports of misconduct. This sounds too good to be true, actually. Light housing for free rent may lead to cleaning the pool and pressure washing the house.
I have been trying to find a room mate off Craig's List. There are many legitimate but why take a chance of ending up profiled on Nancy Grace, is my thought. Another woman I know who has done this successfully takes their name and birth date and calls the local police dept. She said when she tells them she is a single woman and about to interview a stranger for a roommate, they oblige.
I'd also say, take a gun if you have one.
Robbery is going to skyrocket in this economy. That is another concern.
I did contact the State Department. Sorry I asked....
I had no idea there was a website I could go to in order to get information, but I did find it after I posted my question. The travel advisory is largely for border towns. As far as Cancun, they just ask you use common sense in travel i.e. do not go alone after dark or to "bad" parts of the city, careful with money etc. The same advice you would give someone visiting L.A., Detroit, or New York for the first time.
I'd check with your state's unemployment department.
Likely they have better information than your co-worker. ;) They probably have a website with all the information about who is eligible, how to apply, etc.
Of course, if you don't like the job, there's really no reason to fight to stay on, if you can't meet their goals and expectations. And be sure to make a note of what you just said, about the working conditions, and the fact that the people aren't friendly certainly contributes to a hostile work environment.
Meanwhile... start perusing the "companies" section of this board (and the MT Companies section of MT Chat as well) to find names of companies that people like working for, hunt down their websites, and start applying online. And keep a list of the ones you apply to, when you applied, and what happened. You'll need that information if you are approved for unemployment, to prove you are job-searching.
I did what I just talked about above, and that was how I found my new job, after nearly 28 years working for a doc who closed his practice....
Best of luck, and keep us posted!

I saw the same thing, on a travel ad
busses?? This is a well known agency.
I'm married, but I travel alone often.
My DH and I have different ideas about what is fun. After a few years of trying to make joint vacations work, trying to compromise, and trying to love what the other one loves, we've decided that separate trips are better for us. Even our honeymoon was a disaster! LOL I'm the outdoors type, and would rather camp and backpack, and he's a serious track and field competitor who thinks that a great vacation is a week of running in competitions. We both like history and museums, so what we do is sprinkle weekend getaways here and there in our lives. But he couldn't do a week in the woods with me, and I can't stand sitting next to the track waiting for him to run.
I've done all sorts of week-long trips by myself, and I highly recommend it. The first time you do it, you might feel a little nervous, but gradually, as you relax and enjoy yourself, your confidence builds up. I happen to travel without groups, but my mom has been widowed since 1983 and has done lots and lots of guided trips around the world. She loves traveling that way. Pays one price and everything is planned. She meets new friends and sees wonderful places.
Get out and see the world! You'll love it! And if anyone wants to share info about Ireland, I'd love to hear it. My son is planning a "tramping" trip to Ireland, backpacking and staying at hostels.
Travel the world
Although, I would have to win the lottery for that! I'd probably take out every loan I could and run up the credit cards. I've been to France and NYC (both of which I absolutely loved!) I would love to see Italy and Greece. If I absolutely could not get $ for that, I would volunteer at animal shelters/rescues and volunteer with kids, maybe with Big Brothers, Big Sisters. I've had some scares with health myself and I have thought about it, unfortunately. I would just try to be as happy as possible! I wish you and your SIL the best.
My daughter and I both travel alone
she likes to go to Cancun (we had traveled there years ago when she was much younger) and I have traveled the past few years (plan to this year also) to places like out west and Alaska. I used to travel in the 80s and 90s all the time, just me and my 2 kids out of the country to the carribean (spelling?), Mexico, even to Greece. I absolutely would never let being afraid keep me from going.
And I don’t think it is dangerous just to travel, sm
If I had waited for a Starbuck I might never had a trip before. Believe it or not, never remember seeing 1 anywhere I traveled. Your response is strange.
The local police department told me to call them so
I called the department back (not 911) and advised them to please not tell anyone else that. I also had the email address for this person at Paws and sent her an email telling her sorry I got her at a bad time, did not mean to interrupt her day and to have a nice day. I went back within the next week to check again on this doggie, no other reason. Hubby did not particularly like when I told him (later after the deal done) but fed her again and then followed her to see where she was going. She went to some homes close around and I figured maybe that was where she lived. No one that I called there seemed to have wanted to give assistance. I could not bring her home when I first saw her because noticed she had droppy boobies and need puppies close around, but ?? I never expected a reply like that from someone who supposedly helps animals. Makes you kinda cynical, doesn’t it?
Hubby is a travel agent...sm
We have been to many all inclusives. For us, we go with a big group of friends every year on vacation, and we will always do AI. The best yet was Barcelo Tropical in Puerto Juarez. It is about 25 minutes away from Playa Del Carmen and 1 hour from Cancun. You never have to leave the resort. The food is EXCELLENT!!!! This place is amazing. Check it out on trip advisor. Lots of places (in Mexico is all I know) are AI and NOT worth it, meaning the food sucks, drinks are watered down, no activities. You have to be careful because you don't want to spend the $$ on an AI and then have to go out to eat.
Definitely NOT work! Be with family, travel if possible. Try
s
Wow!!! that's so disgusting. Makes you not want to travel or eat out ever! (nm)

Same here - retire, hop in an RV, travel the states!

Didnt say that! I said if she's uneasy with travel to
the US? Mexico will still be thre (unfortunately), so just wait and go when the the crime rate drops a little bit. We Americans have had great big TARGETS on our backs for a long time now, or havent you noticed? So the statistics might not be on an American tourist's side there right now. And if I'm going to be the victim of a crime, I'd rather it were here than in
Mexico. Sure wouldn't want to end up in one of their jails, or even in one of their hospitals.
I think, though, that the main thing that was meant by the gov't. announcement was that college kids shouldn't be going down there at this particular time, especially the girls. Not a very good place to be naiive and inebriated, even in the best of times.
Call a minister or hospital social service department - nm

Thanks TravelinMT. Point well taken. I did check out the State Department's advisory
and they do have one, but they break it down into areas of Mexicos. Obviously, it is the border towns that are dealing with high crimes and they warn about going there. As far as the "tourist" cities such as Mazatlan, Cancun, Puerto Vallarta etc.. they ask you to use just common sense, as you have stated, not walking alone at dark, down alleys, and just caution with money etc.. I also travel to Mexico every year (love, love PV by the way) but this is the first time we've been to Cancun and everyone just freaked me out. I have always felt safe there. The people really do encourage tourism but that is how they survive in most cases. I definitely would feeling safer walking around Mexico than some places in large US cities like in Chicago etc. Crime is everywhere. You just have to protect yourself and use common sense.
Travel Agent... off original topic
Always looking for a new career away from MT...Since your DH is travel agent, would you recommend it? Can you make a good living at it? How to get started? Have thought of this in the past, but never really knew how to go about it. My DH and I love to travel and he will be retired in a few years, so a career change may do us both good. Thanks for any info. 
The department you deal with in Michigan for things like this is called "Friend of the Court".
You need to get in touch with your version of this in your state and tell them what is going on and file a form for re-do the visitation agreement. You may even have to see your original divorce attorney. We went through this with my husband's ex-wife and he filed papers to amend the visitation and what they call an "in pro per" form. Which basically is a DIY form. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but you need to get started now to get your ducks in a row.
Have you thought about talking to somebody at the local VA office in your state or city? Those guys are a wealth of information.
Good luck to you.
Sounds good to me. I am going to get in that car and go or go with a travel group. Life is too
short to wait around on other people for whatever. Probably plenty of people to talk to. I just got out of the habit of going alone actually and it is time to get back into it. Sometimes I agree you go with people and spend more time worrying if they like where you wanted to go than doing what you want. Yep I am going to go for it.
will high gas prices affect your spring/summer travel
j/c. I wanted to go to the beach this year but I don't think we will now. 
I keep a little travel pack in my purse and one in the glove box..bought them at Wal Mart..nm
!!!
see if you can sell her to the
If parts are that expensive, sell her to the mechanic that gave you the quote. He at least will give you the amount you still owe and he can part it out.
to sell more books
She wants to create more hype about the books. I agree, I don't think it was at all appropriate to discuss that in relation to what is marketed as a children's book.
At least you have kids trying to sell them to you....sm
around here we'll oftentimes see the scout "moms" with tables set up outside of Wal-Mart and grocery stores selling the cookies for the troops and have maybe only 1 scout around at that time.
We also sold them for 50 cents/box when I was a kid. I still love to get the thin mints and freeze them, then pull the box out on a hot day in July. Ahhhh -heaven!!!
sell the sale
As you are shoving the leftovers in the fridge say,
"Amazing sale on turkeys at such and such, you should go get one!"
My mom used to sell it years ago and
when I decided to do something to pad my income, I asked her about. She said she made good money back then, but so much has changed and the people she buys from now say it's hardly worth it.
After doing some research on my own, I found another direct sales company that offered their reps more with less out of pocket and less financial responsibility. I sell jewelry to people at home shows. I signed up in January and since then, I have made about $7,000 in profit (about $1000 extra a month). The benefits are that the customers pay up front. The customers handle their own returns/exchanges. Everything is backed with a lifetime guarantee, so no complaints if they don't like it. The orders are delivered to the home of the hostess, so no deliveries.
The startup cost is zero. I earned my display kit free with my own home show and it also came with enough paper supplies to get me started. Since then, I have invested in some marketing materials, etc, but it's still very profitable. I really enjoy the money I make and a couple of nights out a week with the "girls"!
If you'd be interested in hearing more, you can email me privately. If you decide to go with Avon, good luck, and remember -- you only get out of it what you're willing to invest in it!
Threaten to sell him to the gypsies!
