I agree - LL may be 21 but has had bad influence for years (sm)
That's not an excuse for LL but her mom should be in trouble too!
Lists
I agree with this. Also, would say it depends on account specifics and how the hospital wants it done, all up to them.
Do what you want to do, not what the lists tell you -sm
Just because it is on a list does not mean you have to do it. I planned my whole wedding well in advance and it all went great. All we did was a wedding in my parents back yard, had about 40-50 guests, had food catered and enjoyed ourselves. I did get a cake though (my 1st and only wedding hopefully) as I had this vision of how I wanted certain things to be, flowers and a wedding dress; but that is about as traditional as I went. We had a swim party reception; no DJ, just the radio playing. Still somewhat expensive, all in all it cost about $5K, that is everything from flowers to the honeymoon, but in terms of the big picture rather reasonable. As for a wedding gift to hubby, we sort of did that, but not on the wedding day. He ended up buying me china on our honeymoon (found a complete set of 9 of some beautiful Wedgwood in Canada for $400, so we stamped it up); and I got us a weekend package to the Pocono's for race weekend (Nascar) as a 1-month anniversary gift. Just go with your gut and don't get pressured into doing anything you do not want to do; and have fun!
Yeah but so why do they buy lists
of people with bad credit and inundate them with offers of credit cards (at huge interest fees of course). And people who have filed bankruptcy, they can't give you enough credit after that.
I'm not saying everyone who files bankruptcy is scamming the system but the ones who do by running up as many charges as they can before declaring it so they don't have to pay for any of it really tick me off and they totally get away with it. And I think the credit card companies just write it all off anyway. Meanwhile those of us who are plugging along and paying them off, albeit it slowly, are treated like second class citizens.
you can choose a realtor who uses/lists
with the MLS service. We've moved a lot and never would use a realtor who didn't.
We had luck too before listing in the LA Times or San Fran papers when we had a place in the country/mid USA..had a party fly out to see it, and paid cash. Appeal to what people are wanting, ie, escape the high crime, the crowded city, live surrounded by nature/georgeous trees...good luck!
There are probably waiting lists for little dogs at the shelter and/or

Two of my daughters have them on their lists. Found them at K-Mart for 29.99 nm

Pet food - is there a web site that lists all the foods being recalled? nm
Worried about my golden retriever. 
Here is a great site that lists all current deals on CCs......
Use the drop down menu to search the different features. I have used it to find balance transfer deals, etc.
I've seen Smokey and Bandit show up on other top 10 lists. Sadie?? nm

Love the "family tree" idea! My lists inside.........
Let's see........
Jewerly for girls - name bracelets and necklaces.
Name poems and frames (still get updated requests for these and will be on my list this year). Those kind that say J is for so and so, etc.
Rice socks one year.
Candles and lotions. I bought the kits to do this with at Hobby Lobby and let my kids help make them.
Keepsake boxes. I got the copy paper boxes that are very sturdy, wrapped in material, and decorated the box and top. Makes really good keepsake boxes and you could also do several sized boxes too.
Photo albums - also bought plain and decorated with material, ribbons, buttons, etc. Picture frames could be done the same way.
One year we made stones for the grandparents. Bought the kits at Hobby Lobby and decorated with stones and engraved sayings on them. You could do hand prints or just about anything. For my mom, we made memory stones of my sister, my grandmother, and my grandfather. We just put one that said "in loving memory of" and the other's with their names on them. She put them in her rose garden.
I haven't started yet, but have started my lists.
The only reason I haven't started yet is because of $$$. But I have started some good lists for the kids and the DH. I actually have some good ideas for him this year (he is hard to buy for).
I'm like you, I love Christmas but hate the commercialism of it. We were at Costco a while back looking for Halloween costumes and they already had their Christmas stuff out. They always make me feel like I'm already late on my shopping!
I may do a lot of online shopping this year. It's easier with little ones. My 2yo is more aware this year so taking him with me to buy his own presents is out. Darn!
It always seems that Halloween (my favorite) takes forever to get here, but once it's over, then the holiday rush is on.
Happy Holidays everyone!
