They are great to warm the feet. I uually run hot water over my hands when they get stiff or cold. Haven't tried those gloves yet but maybe someone else will post about them for you.

Pool heaters
Google for In The Swim. They have AGP heaters. They even have those "floating solar" ones, but your pool is maybe too large for that. I think the cost is modest to run the heaters and certainly worth the cost if you want to swim. It is cold here too and we count the days until it becomes unfrozen, which is much too late for me!
Eden Pure heaters
Does anyone have an Eden Pure portable heater or know anything about them? They used to be advertised on the Paul Harvey radio station and recently got a flier in the mail for one, sound good, but also found negative things about them on a message board on the internet. Does anyone have any personal experience with one? Thanks.
Does anyone have any experience with pool heaters? sm
We put in a 24 foot round above ground pool last spring, but didnt use it much until towards the end of summer because the water was to darn cold! We have a solar cover, but it does not help much on the cooler nights. We live in NE Ohio. I am looking into getting some kind of heater to heat up the water so we can start swimming in June when we get it opened up. I was thinking of an electric heater but dont want to run up the electric bill to much. Any suggestions or ideas?? Thanks!
my space
Is there a way to find your kids on my space? I want to check up on my son in college without him knowing but I'm not on it myself.
My son's My Space . .
When my son was in high school (two years ago) his page was soo "gangster". He thought it was cool I guess. Some parents called me saying he was in a gang and some of the students actually became afraid of him because of his stories, all of which were made up. I think he was starting to be a pathological liar. He is not a macho guy at all. Anyway, he lost some friends and learned his lesson. He was terribly embarrassed when he had to come clean. Like the below poster, I think they have to "feel the pain" sometimes in order to fit in. Hope this is the case with you son.
Poll: How many of you have a My Space?
I do.
Jesus has a my space.

ran out of space. Should be: will give it a try. LOL nm

Best of luck - if ya give him space, he might come a-runnin.....he also might be *gun-shy* at the moment...being only 3 months out....
Prayers comin' your way!!
...buildup on the scalp as well. Sorry, not enough space before, LOL. nm

Fake, skinny. Don't have much space...sm
but I didn't want table size tree. Got it last year and was really amazed at how pretty it turned out.

Clueless too and that's what I need to know! I snooped on my nephew's my space...uh-oh
I didn't sign up or anything - I just did a Google of his name with my-space and found it that way...he's not private. He's 18. So how would it/he know who I am? Anyone?
And the best is when I told my sis (his mom) and she said YOU DID?!?!?!?!?!??
I said, didn't you?
She said yeah.
LOL!
Customer service in outer space
I made a service call on my freezer this morning and got a woman who could barely speak English, then had the nerve to tell me I had a bad phone because she could barely hear me - asked where she was and naturally that would be India.
Check out HGTV.com Rate My Space (sm)
Regular people redoing their homes upload pics and others comment on them. It's very fun to see all the rooms, and you can get some very good ideas for designing and decorating your own space.
That space-age memory foam stuff
has some problems. People find that the way it conforms to your body and doesn't breathe is HOT. It also lacks certain spring that a normal mattress has. How can I say this delicately ... married people's beds aren't always just for sleeping, and memory foam doesn't do what you expect a mattress to do. So I've heard. I never had one.
Better to get a mattress with a mixture of foams and/or springs. My hubby likes to turn a lot in bed due to all his aches and pains, so we got a Simmons for the control of transfer motion and we got one with a soft pillow topper to ease DH's tender hips and arthritis aches.
Agree with this. Give the kid some space and autonomy! nm

Try Facebook, Twitter, My Space or those other blogs ..
They are usually on there, at least you'll know he's okay. You must be heartbroken. I have one whose wife plans busy plans every weekend with her mother and tribe, he has no say and he can't see us because he has to go to the in-laws. I wish he'd get a spine! When he does have time, he's blogging. We just wonder where we went wrong. We worked our a$$ off for him and the MIL never worked, so I am considered not so good of a mom by his wife because her mom stayed home and baked cookies, I was in the trenches with the troops. What good did it do me? I was just the working woman, bad in their eyes. I guess my main job was not that of a "good mother" because I worked. I see it as I worked in order to provide a good home for my family and I baked, cooked and cleaned as well, probably not as good, but not good enough. So tired of it! My friends say if they did come over he'd probably have to get nagged in the car afterwards. I wouldn't want that, I love him too much. They do break our hearts sometimes, part of the old saying, "A daughter for the rest of your life; a son until he takes a wife." My heart aches for you, really. I'd find him just to make sure he's okay and if he doesn't respond, it's his choice, at least you tried. Or just see if he's okay and let it go.  Watch me get flamed now, that's all I need, I am heartbroken enough and I get flamed enough in person. I don't need that either, worked too hard all my life, for what?
Don't let the "goodness" be one-sided, give yourself some personal space, AND try to have

I have a my space and use it daily to monitor my daughter and her friends
Yep thats me nosy mom but I have a few moms on my friends list lol

Sore thumb joints from hitting space bar (sm)
They are sore on the opposite side of the thumb, not the underside that hits the space bar. Does anyone know anything I can wear on my thumbs to prevent this from getting worse? I'm afraid I'm giving myself arthritis in my thumbs! Thanks
why is the space bar on the keyboard so long as opposed to other keys? nm

Agree with this. Diaries/journals are personal space, no matter

Sharing laughter, but giving each other some space and "me" time, doing little things

You can ask if it is small
enough to do without anesthesia, and hopefully your dentist has a good idea of the cavity's size and can judge that for you. Without anesthesia there is some heat and pressure and I guess there was slight pain.
Some dentists are extremely good at giving the shots and it's not bad at all.
I'm sorry you have your first cavity. I was in my 20s myself. Just don't wait on getting it fixed and you'll just have a small filling that hopefully won't give you any problems for 20 years or more.
What about her 2 small children?
That is what really bugs me about her and her behavior. What kind of role model is this for her children?? Just irks me to death what she has been doing. I do not care that she has a nanny or someone watching those kids. Why did she have them????? if all she wanted to do was party and act like a spoiled brat?
For that small amount, can't you take

We have a small one and really enjoy it.
I don't think the taste is affected at all.
Small prime rib
Go onto Food Network and see this recipe Prime Rib with Shoe String Fries with Cabrales Blue Cheese Dip by Bobby Flay. I followed the Prime Rib and it was wonderful. I did put some crushed garlic on the outside as well as the garlic pieces inside. Got more compliments from my guests.
Good luck
No it's not really. Small prey will set
off the prey drive in some dogs, and it's often a breed trait. But all dogs should be socialized to children. While cats should be kept inside IMO, the dogs shouldn't be running loose either, and the dogs are upsetting the balance that had previously existed. The parents obviously aren't set up to contain dogs. So the dog owner should offer to put up a fence that will contain her dogs (and those underground electrical fences won't work due to the cats being able to enter the area). If she can't do that or the parents don't want a fence, then she is very, very wrong to be dropping her dogs off at her parent's house. She's responsible for the dogs, not her parents.
Small Pleasures....
ok, let's have a positive poll for a new perspective here!
What little thing do you do that brightens your day, whether it's every day or just when you can? A favorite routine, a little touch of color at your desk, whatever.
Small world -
I actually grew up in the village of Catskill. I lived in Albany for a while, but am now near Rochester. Very cool.
Unfortunately the towers are too small
for the big cat and I just can't imagine building him a custom play tower. It would take up the whole living room!! I do have this thing that is like a pole with a bunch of arms sticking out with little balls tied to them. They love that.
Even if I started out small
do you think I would need all that legal stuff - licenses, health inspections? At first I was hoping to make money "under the table" so to speak. I don't want to be a large corporation because it would be just me baking so don't think I could handle that much.
Really small world.
I have friends who live in Cabot, one of whom I believe is the director of nurses at Children's.

I am in a small town between
Abilene and San Angelo called Ballinger. My husband has relatives in Abilene.
also being from a small town...
I would call and speak to the principal directly about what you heard. You can do this anonymous if you want, just don't use your phone as they very often have caller id now. I think it is up to the principal to decide if the comments of your child/friends have any merit. The principal should have ALL information and he/she should go from there. To me, my first and foremost priority would be my child. As for this child being falsely accused of something...well...maybe his parents should have taught him to be prepared to deal with the possible consequences of his actions. All kids make mistakes but sooner or later this individual will have to answer for his remarks and take responsibilty for himself - from my point of view, the sooner the better. I would definitely want to know if my child was speaking to others in this manner. I would not want to jump to conclusions but if your gut feelings say to keep your child home from school, do it. Missing a couple days from school is not the end of the world and I am certain he will not be the only one.
By small, I mean size 7 or under. I only wish I was.

In my small town
He was a city boy from 12 hours away living with a cousin for a while. I was a small town country girl. We met one night after I got off work and met up with my best friend to go "riding" around. He was with a friend of mine who was his cousin's girlfriend. We got into her car and rode around together. He was asking my friend about me that same night. He finally called about a month later after some misinformation that I was seeing someone and we've been together ever since. I was 16, he was 19. Married 12 years this year with the three best kids in the world!
Not everyone lives in small towns
I took the bus and T (subway in Boston) to high school and college, as did most kids. Try parking in Harvard Square, or anywhere in Boston for that matter.
When I moved out west to continue college in a city that did not have great public transport, I lived on campus for the first year without a car. After that I bought one for $1000, and insured it for $35/mo (this was in 1993).
My mom does not even have a DL, and did not have the money to pay my tuition, let alone get me a car for school, yet somehow we made it. Kids don't NEED cars in high school. There is always the big yellow bus if you live somewhere there is not public transportation. I was shocked to see how many high school kids were driving around in new SUVs and sports cars like Mustangs where I used to live in the South.
Since it is a small dog, assuming it's healthy,
it actually should not be hard to place. Do contact rescues in your area if you don't have a network of dog-loving people you really know well. Also vets' offices. See if they will put up signs. Sometimes when people lose a pet, they want to get a nice adult dog fast so they won't be alone.
I'm also in NC, and I know a woman who wants a small dog. She's in her 50s, either divored or widowed, needs a small, clean, adult dog that's already trained and won't cost her a fortune. Look for somebody like that.
So sad she has left a small baby as well. nm

Small World. Hi neighbor!!
*waving*
Yes..in the small shops that are Asian run...many to..
choose from. My sis and I saw one lady buy $500 worth of purses, we counted 15 that she had. Every top of the line brand you can imagine. Next year when we go I am bringing and extra suitcase to haul more home! We ate at LA Mela, a fabulous Italian restaurant on Mulberry Street. Sis and I are Italian, so we know good, homemade Italian food and this was top notch! We and our spouses ate and had a bottle of wine, only paid $130 for all of us.
Tell her not to sweat the small stuff...
I read recently that wearing red to a wedding is considered bad luck. News to me! (In some cultures the bride wears red!) Does she really think she can control what all the guests wear? If your dress color is such a big concern she should have told you long ago, so it sounds to me that putting you in charge of the guest book is a recent thing. Keep it pleasant, otherwise you'll be blamed for causing a problem, but tell her you'll pass on that responsibility so you can enjoy the wedding.
Small children, in first grade and
3rd or 4th but I remember feeling so special when I was in a child about this age because I had diamond rings (not big, chip diamonds mostly) that my grandmother gave me, had several boxes of them and if I lost 1 I chose another. I am not talking about spending over 50$ apiece on these.
