oops - baby shower - wrong shower!
Sorry, tired eyes here. The thank you notes envelopes might stand and you could make a puzzle with baby words.
Baby shower gift or shower
Anyone have some creative or unique baby shower gift ideas or shower ideas? or what is something that you couldn't live without when you had your baby.
I have heard of giving a book instead of a card and signing the book. Also heard of wrapping the present in a blanket or crib sheet instead of spending money on paper to throw away. I have heard of charging an "admission fee" of a package or diapers or 1 package of diapers buys a raffle ticket for a prize.
Can't believe he wasn't even in the bottom three! nm

I always comb from the bottom up
Use a wide tooth comb. When hair is wet, start from the bottom and comb up a little at a time. Tangles seemed to "slide" out better going bottom to top., and it keeps you from ending up with a big knot at the bottom.
bottom line
The bottom line is the rules. We all have rules. We all have choices. There are consequences to our choices. That is life. Whether or not you agree to the rules and/or the consequenes is irrelevant.
If one does not like the idea of a teacher getting his/her jollies out of paddling a female student, then one must keep that in mind when choosing to break a rule.
There were 2 choices of punishment here and, one of which was not corporal, but IMO missing class would hurt your daughter more in the long run. I do think she made the right choice and I also think it was wise to tell her that next time she'll have to miss class.
It's so easy as parents to set rules and consequences and not follow through with the consequences, but in an environment with hundreds and sometimes thousands of students, teachers/administrators must follow through or there would be no education.
I'm not saying the punishment fits the crime here, but after the fact is too late.
It's obvious that you completely understand the above because you are not arguing the unfairness of the punishment, but anxiety over your child. Any good parent would feel that way.
I'm just posting this in response to the posts that argue against corporal punishment. I don't agree with it either just for the record. There are laws I don't agree with but guess what? In the real world, I break a law I don't agree with and I get punished.
I hope you slept well and all went well today (Monday). Please post a followup.
Bottom eye liner sm
Gosh, I am waay up there but have absolutely no bottom eyelashes, I put a thin brown liner on or everyone tells me I look sick or awful, and I also think I look really bad. Please tell me a thin brown line is okay on the bottom lid. I know they glue eyelashes on, but want no one near my eyes. Anyone else bottom lash bald?? As for the younger kids, as long as they don't look like a racoon, less is more and keep it light, it's okay but preteen, is questionable. Even my 5+ year old puts a little blush on and lip gloss to play and then we make her wipe it almost all off before she leaves the house. They just want to fit in. So do I!! Help!
cashews... top or bottom?

why are big bras on the bottom and
the cute little AA's on top. If I reach for the ones on the bottom, I may just keep going over, unable to stop myself!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
We will be leaving the space between our pillows where Fred slept each night empty in his honor. I truly appreciate the love and support you all have shown. Only those who have walked in our shoes can understand the depth of the love and the enormous loss we feel.
I think the bottom 3 tonight will be
Lil, Matt, and Allison. Possibly Kris. I think Matt's going home, simply because he's not as memorable as some of the others even though I really like him.
I agree with you - the bottom 4 now are all GREAT
That is still a high $ pole - even at the bottom! nm

Middle here, too, for everything so you don't scorch the bottom or
s
I was glad Adam was in the bottom two.
He's getting so monotonous. I would have preferred Allison go before Matt though. And what about Kris?! He should've gone before Matt or Allison. Guess the young girls are voting enough for him to keep him around. Either way, at this point, as long as Danny stays, I'm happy :)
I wonder how much damage is being done by the groups like 'vote for the worst' and DJs who tell them to do that, etc... Wish they'd let it play out without interference.
don't believe they were the bottom 3, Ryan said results in NO ORDER. (nm)

The bottom line is an infected person in
the largest city in Texas... not good.
Now that I've reached the bottom of the bottle but...
thanks for the info. I love this product and so did my mom. The funeral director asked what my mom used on her skin as it was in such good shape and she was a beach goer. Oh well, back to Vaseline! Any other brand name this goes by? I have used the CVS brand also thinking it is Olay with a private label of CVS.

37 y/o and I still have long thick blond hair to my bottom! sm
I have had long hair my entire life...and will probably keep it that way for many, many years to come. I used to be a very blond when I was young, but the older I get the darker it gets....so I do a nice color on it to keep it blond. I have a 13y/o daughter and we are looking more like sisters than mother/daughter..but I am not trying for that at all. I jut love my hair and dont care who else does or does not.
I graduated the bottom of my high school class (#136 out of 137), but
I have an IQ of 160.
But, lets bottom line this, being as married to the most powerful man in the US
I let her slide in her clothes, shoes, etc. She has a tall brother, therefore maybe her father tall, don’t know about her mother. She carries a lot of clout, no matter how she dresses, wears, her height, and on and on. Don’t hate on the First Lady.
Just wanted to comment on the wonderful quote at the bottom of your post!

Frito corn chips in the bottom of a bowl, chili
on that with your choice of toppings - we usually put shredded cheese and onions on top. The local BBQ joint makes it with corn chips, shredded pulled pork, bbq sauce and bbq beans - SOOOO good!!
shower...(OP)
Thanks y'all for all the great replies...apparently I am not alone in my feelings here!
Anyway, as I mentioned, this is my DH's family...the ultimate shower-givers. They give a shower for every baby (in my family, it's 1st baby only...unless--like mine--they're 8 years apart), every wedding, new home purchase...anything you can think of. BUT...the kicker is...if I don't show up to this thing, next year when my DD graduates and I have her grad party, they WON'T show up...that's just the way they are. So, I'm thinking of taking a "vacation" that weekend and just mailing a card with my "greenbacks"---BTW, love the fake money idea---after all, that's all she really wants, right?
Ah, families---aren't they just WONDERFUL---
Mr. Clean
Boy, do I have work for him!
I like clean but don't like to clean (sm)
My house is cluttered and it's hard to clean or dust. When I worked at home I would wash my hands every 5 minutes or so because I was always touching dust and the sink was so convenient. Now I work outside in the dirt and I go hours without being able to wash up. I hate touching trash cans without being able to wash, but I remind myself it's just potting mix and and plant material we put in there, so I try to convince myself it's okay, LOL. I do keep handiwipes on my golf cart to use after touching really stinky, rotten dead plants. There is usually a trace of dirt under my nails now - so weird. I have to shower twice a day when it's hot.
Shower curtain or not?
I have a bathroom that goes off my office and really not used but having a dinner later on and I do not have a shower curtain here. I had the bathroom painted and did not want to get a rod that would have to be on the painted part as afraid it would pull my paint off if removed. The shower/tub is a wrap around and being as I do not have another shower curtain in the house (enclosed showers) wondering if anyone can tell me, does the rod fit on the shower part or would it fit outside, that being on the painted part. I hope this makes sense. Any suggestions?
Wedding shower...
My niece is getting married in August and is having a shower in July. Long story short, they live together, have been for a looonnnggg time now. On the invite, it says "Money preferred" with a bunch of $$$ around it. They're calling it a "greenback shower"...Is it just me, or is this totally disgusting and greedy? Makes me not wanna go. Also, I am not even sure how much to give. We never see them, only at family functions (DH's family..... )...anyway, is it just me that feels this way?
wedding shower
I agree. I think they have a lot of nerve expecting guests to "finance" their life together. Are they getting married after so long just to make some bucks? Or are you supposed to help offset the cost of this wedding? Are they registered? I'd give her a gift (if that's what you'd prefer). If you feel you have to give money, I'd probably stay in the $25.00 range or whatever you feel comfortable giving. Of course, you could always make an excuse and not go. After all, they'll probably want money as a wedding gift also!
Good for you! I think a hot shower sometimes can
do wonders. I know what you mean about the flashing in the field of vision. My mom and I get that, too. She describes it as zig-zaggy lines. I only had that about 3 times, but was at the mall and was trying to read a price tag and could not understand why everything started to look wierd. You are right. . the headache came later. My mom said if she took something the minute she saw the flashing, etc. she was okay, but it she waited too long she got a terrible headache. I am glad you avoid that one! 
shower head
 I'm looking for a shower head that will help me get all the shampoo & conditioner out of my hair. I have one that allows me to adjust the settings and that helps. I think the problem is that I am so short that even with the high pressure it doesn't completely remove all the shampoo since I am so much farther down than the shower head. I want to get one of the removable ones but before I went and spent the money I was hoping for suggestions. Whenever I go to my hairstylist, my hair always feels so much better for a week or two after she rinses it with that high-pressure sprayer so close to my head. I'm sure her shampoo makes some diffference too, although I'm pretty sure it is just not being able to completely rinse my hair out that is causing me the frizzies. Thanks for any suggestions on a reasonablly priced shower head.
I moisturize right out of shower, then go sm
do other things getting ready, then do my BE. I think it is better if your face has dried.
isn't that a baby shower?

Try baby oil in the shower but
Also, only pat yourself dry after showering and make sure the water is not too hot, and then put the baby oil on.
My fav lotion so far and I've tried quite a few is St. Ives the one with collagen. It's not even that pricey.
Another good one is Eucerin as mentioned above, but also Avon has Moisture Therapy that is wonderful and hubs loves that one plus one from Bath and Body Works but it's pricey but he says it stays with him. He hates "the girly stuff" but he doesn't want eczema patches to form.
Getting towels clean
Anyone have any suggestions on how to get towels to smell clean again. I've tried various detergents, Borax, hot water, cold water, hanging to dry, dryer sheets and nothing seems to work. I wash my towels, we use them once or twice and they just don't smell fresh anymore. Also after we use them we hang them on a towel rack to let the fresh air dry them. My husband hates the bleach smell so don't use that.
I use OxyClean, but it's the clean
feeling and whiteness I notice. I only use my towels once and then wash them again, but DH uses them more than once.
Mine was also to clean out some but
I had an artificial plant, still had the price on it, for $24.99 and had priced at $9.00. I had a guy who walked up and said I only have $5.00 left in my wallet at which time I told him better keep it, hard times might be coming. You know, I had really priced everything so right, had a pair of women's leather sandles, never worn, just bought this summer and had paid over $50.00 for them, had marked for $7.00 and 1 lady offered me $4.00. I am not hard up and when I price things as good as these, they can sit there forever before I just hand them away- that is unless I want to and then I can take to Goodwill and get deduction. I am older and I really paid dearly for this in terms of wear and tear on me. It was hot, humid yesterday morning starting out and by the end of the sale my body had so many aches and pain and just pure exhausation. I made overall about $200.00 on it but after paying my housekeeper who came, spent the night and helped me the next day, I came out to the good about $60.00- not enough to wear me down again. I just spoke with hubs and any and everything left over I am donating to Goodwill (and getting that write-off at the same time).
I agree you clean up after yourself, but
to go "BALLISTIC" over it seems a bit much. Must be lots of other things going on.
Clean house
Almost forgot my other idea - to do as Neacy on Clean House and have the family sit down and make a list of the things that routinely get done around the house and assign tasks to each person.

Give 'em a shower! sm
I spray mine with 409, let it sit for about 10 minutes and then shower it off. Or, I stick them out in a down pour and they get nice and clean.
Shower/Wedding gifts
The only time that I give money or a gift card as a gift is if I am traveling to the wedding and then it is just easier than trying to pack a gift, get it through security, etc. When I take a gift, if it is something that is duplicated or something the couple does not want or need - I leave it up to them to return it - I let them figure out where it came from and how to return it with no gift receipt. Today's brides and grooms are a bit too greedy and ungrateful for my taste - I can't count how many thank-you notes I have never received - so I make them work if they want a return - which now days usually cannot be for cash.
After your shower, elevate legs
and rub lotion into your feet. The massaging action with your feet elevated really moves the blood out of them that collects during a warm shower.
why pay for him to have heat, bed, shower, food.

Run a hot steamy shower in the bathroom and
Put the baby in the bathroom alongside of you, of course, but not in the shower. Just try to get the baby to get the steam from the shower. I used to do this when mine were little, and it worked great.
baby shower gift
I see all these different gifts here and they are all just wonderful gifts. Something that we REALLY appreciated after the birth of our twins was a couple of friends paid for a housecleaning service to come over and do a one time big cleaning for us. We were a month early with them and while I really appreciated every single present we received, that one was a biggie. Also, your time. While the cleaning people came in, the hubby came over and helped my hubby get the cribs together and a dresser (we were not quite ready (lol)) . And the wife helped me with the children and picked up some food. Also restaurant gift card or now even a Visa gift card would be great. That way it can be used for anything they need, now or later on. Hope this helps. Main thing is, give it with your heart.

He takes his cellphone in the shower????
What the heck does he do for a living? If it does not require constant use of his cellphone, then no, you are not being paranoid! Do you always hear him on his phone? Does he make it a point for you NOT to hear him?
I don't know you, him, or the situation but something about this is bothering you to the point of putting out feelers here. I would not let him know about your **paranoia** yet, but I would not let him move in permanently either. You need to take some time to find out about this feeling you have. Could be nothing, but you need to find out on your own before discussing it with him.
