Gift Card
Just a note. I learned from my daughter and my neices that the VISA gift cards are the prefered gift card. They can be used anywhere salons, stores, and even gas stations which for a 16-yo can be a lifesaver.
Maybe not a gift card
but a gift certificate to a groomer might be nice!
To Kill a Mockingbird, movie and book

I agree. They always love $$ which a gift card is. sm
Especially if you don't know her. But if you have a favorite lotion you use, or something cosmetic, for that amount $20, they really love new, special cosmetics, too.
I agree with the gift card idea!
It's not worth putting a ton of thought and money into something if they're just going to end up selling it and not appreciating it. A gift card is a great way to give someone a chance to get something that they want. I got lots of gift cards this Christmas and loved every one of them!
Gift card to a game store? (sm)
You could hardly go wrong with that. Here we have one called Gamestop and that is always the birthday gift everyone requests.
i think the gift card or jewelry. girls at that age are sooo picky. most want $ so they can pick o

Yup...got 2 for Abercrombie & Fitch, Starbucks, and a $100 American Express gift card
Love them all! I'm going shopping this weekend!
Gift cert for 1 movie rental at blockbuster (or local video store)
and we wrapped it around an individual pack of microwave popcorn! Loved it!
What is considered appropriate if a neighbor's relative passes away. SM
My neighbor's uncle passed away. She and I are friends, but not best friends, we basically see each other every day as we walk our dogs and we talk every day. Her uncle just passed away and I was unable to go to the wake. The funeral is today, but I cannot go to that either. What is the appropriate thing to do here, a card, flowers, what? Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.
Have U renogiated credit card debt when minimum payment got too high? Do they take your card away,

Credit Card Reform Can Cost Good Card Users
Part of article:
Credit cards have long been a very good deal for people who pay their bills on time and in full. Even as card companies imposed punitive fees and penalties on those late with their payments, the best customers racked up cash-back rewards, frequent-flier miles and other perks in recent years.
Now Congress is moving to limit the penalties on riskier borrowers, who have become a prime source of billions of dollars in fee revenue for the industry. And to make up for lost income, the card companies are going after those people with sterling credit.
We pay off our balance every month. If they do this (punish those who have sterling credit) Ridiculous!! I'll stop using my CC and pay by cash or check.
So much for reform.
ROLLER - DISCO

Roller Disco in San Fran - how was it?? (sm)
That sounds sooo fun! I love to rollerblade and skate and that would just be the most fun thing in the world to me!!! I wonder if they do it anywhere else??
Tessier's Surgical 'Word Book, old but good. And the Quick Look Drug Book and Saunders
.
Also, if there is a really popular item you want...sm
you could map out the store. Saw this on the news once where a lady and her husband drew out a map and each aimed for a specific department/item. It was pretty comical, but efficient when you think about it. As for opening times, the ads will let you know. Anyway, good luck!
The most popular vacation WEEK is the one that

I had one in 1973, LONG before they were popular. nm

IMO a card would not be out of order at all. Except a sympathy card, of course.
I totally agree a sympathy card wouldn't quite be the thing, but it sounded to me that the original poster of that idea didn't mean a sympathy card like one for death. I think sympathy in the sense of "hey, you had a rough time of it with this birth, and maybe things haven't been the way you imagined, but know that I'm thinking of you and I'm here if and when you need me."
I got PPD when my breastfeeding relationship didn't go right, following a birth plan that went seriously awry, and the reality of a fussy, picky baby instead of the happy, sleeping one that I had imagined.
I *did* spend a lot of time on the phone, but then everybody's different. I would have loved to get a cheerful card from a friend, however. Does anybody NOT like a card?
Garmin is a popular model, but DH chose
the Magellan Maestro 4000 GPS portable navigational system for features and price.
He got it on Bizrate through Beach Camera.

I know it's popular, but don't put unsecured debt on your home.
No way, never ever do that. It's a huge mistake, you could end up losing your home. The risk is too great.
Critics hate the movie, but love her. Movie way too contrived, but so

Me, too. I never agree with popular opinion. Same with best-selling books and/or TV shows. nm

I read this book also. Wonderful book.

Mainly do inline skating, but mix in a few other things - sm
like running about 1 or 2x a week (kinda hard on the knees, but I take an aspirin and do it anyway), also biking, and skiing when there's time. I like skating best for fitness 'cause it's a good low-impact cardio workout, especially if you go up a bunch of hills. If it rains, I either find a roller rink or go ice-skating, instead.
Figure skating outfits
 My oldest daughter has just begun to take figure skating lessons. Anyone have those outfits for warmups that they no longer need? The ones available on ebay mostly ship from China. Thanks!!! Any information on where else to find them would really be helpful!
PS: Skateboarding & skating ARE 'sports' - and can
actually progress to 'extreme' sports such as at the X-Games. Both activities require a lot more in the way of agility, balance, and general overall fitness than just kicking a silly ball around. I would tell him soccer is for sissies, and the REAL athletes are jumping stairs and grinding rails. Lots more interesting to watch, too!
I didn't start skating 'til I was almost 49! ;o)
.
Really? LATE 50s? That is awesome! I am 40 - husband tells me I'm too old to be skating! (sm)
says if I get hurt my bones won't heal up quickly LOL! But I have rollerblades and I love it. I just have to start making time. Thanks for the reminder!
Update: We went ice skating yesterday pm and he had a great time (sm)
I told him we are going to look into more places where he can go and do the types of things he likes to do. However, I do disgree that there is anything wrong with other sports...to each his/her own. If someone loves ball sports, I don't see that as making them a "follower". Everyone has an aptitude for different things. Thanks for all the suggestions and insight everyone!
Anybody see the movie Sicko yet? Important movie!

The same thing happened with Skating with the Stars between Lloyd Eisler &
when Eisler's wife was 8 month's pregnant in Canada. What a couple of selfish people.
Did you see that OJ got kicked out of a restaurant
He and his attorney are saying it was race related. Could it be that he's just an asz?? The owner was just on Fox and Friends and said it was because of the book OJ was going to put out.
Hopefully, some great restaurant here in...
Phoenix. DH is on a business trip for 2 weeks and me and my lil' ol' laptop are here too! Nice to work with sunshine and a warm temperature all right outside the hotel door!
One I was at a restaurant waiting
in line for a bathroo stall. Finally a lady came out of onel and I went inside. There was urine ALL OVER the seat. I was just livid. Okay lady, if you are too scared to sit down to pee because of the germs, then for crying out loud, WIPE UP YOUR PEE so it's not there for some total stranger to have to deal with. Or hold it until you get home.
Gross, gross, gross. 
Not sure if still there but the Hoop-De-Doo-Review/restaurant was a lot of fun!

I cannot shut up *LOL* - JUNIOR's restaurant..sm
which is ON Flatbush Avenue when you first get into BKLYN.....it's on the right going towards Prospect Park - it's been there for 50+ years and has some of the best food in NY......Junior's......(remembering all kinds of cheesecake....*lol*).....
A local restaurant had on its sign outside
AYCE DailEy specials...it was there for a while, but someone finally got smart and changed it. This is a pet peeve of mine, too. It drives my husband crazy at times when I start pointing out all the mistakes I see. I saw one on some papers from school, but I can't remember what it was...but from SCHOOL...hello???
what ever the Japanese restaurant is cooking up
A GREEK restaurant with no lamb???--sm
not really GREEK then. geez. I LOVE real greek gyros!! yum!
as far as venison tenderloin, it depends on the age of the deer that was killed, how it was dressed and how soon, and most particularly on the COOK! The best meal I ever had was venison stew by someone who KNEW how to cook it!!! y'all made me hungry now. thanks!
niece and restaurant -- are those right? can't get 'em
just hate that. i've added those to my Expander so they correct themselves... i know there's more ...
We had dinner at a very nice restaurant sm
and then went home and ate the top of the cake....not so great, but it was fun. We also watched our wedding video. We had a very small reception, no band or dancing, but the song I had the Time of My Life (from Dirty Dancing) was played over and over on our honeymoon, so danced in our living room to that song and well.......one thing led to another. It was very romantic.
ignoring grumble = enjoying restaurant

Dog found in the freezer at our fav Chinese restaurant sm
well what used to be our fav. Now closed. This happened in the 80s. We still love chinese food though. Have it almost once a week.
you went to a Greek restaurant and they didn't have souvlaki?
You should've asked for your money back!
I've met folks from all over the world and learned different types of cooking here and there...just home cookin'...nothin' fancy.
They're are so many different varieties of southern cooking as in every other part of the country. I'm from NY and didn't know squat about jowl meat in the beans and the greens....salted everything...fat on top of fat...or deer for that matter. I was voted least likely to ever whack, hack, pack and stack a deer for the freezer...and name the parts (including making deer sausage and bambi burgers with an old-timey hand grinder) and deer jerky.
Lamb would be a delicacy on anyone's table these days and isn't usually used in southern cooking.
Don't get me started on seafood...lived near the ocean and bay and I didn't realize how expensive that stuff was until I moved inland 'cause I just went out and fished or harvested it.
Now, give me a bambi burger and I know what to do with that!  Cat
Yes, just like hair salon, restaurant, and facials, etc. nm
Chicken quesadillas. Mine are much better than any restaurant...nm

Ah, that is sorta taking advantage of a restaurant
in fact might border on theft. I don’t think quirky, would be embarassing to me to have your family heist any and everything they could when going out. Do they go out other times or just on a special occasion? Rather than run the risk of someone in management asking me to pay for their "treats," think I probably might make them a dinner at home, then you could make sure to tie down anything valuable to you.
