I just bought a starter pack today

In Reply to: Anyone doing the new Alli diet? - Darva
I'm going to give it a whirl. I figure I have about 40 pounds to lose to get back to where I was for most of the years between having my son at age 25 in 1987, and my daughter at age 38 in 2000. After gaining the pregnancy weight in 2000, I really barely lost any of it and now nearly 7 years later am about 10 pounds up from that. So, I'm going for about 40 pounds but 30 would probably make me happy. I figure since I work at home, if I end up with the "alli oops" at least I'm right by the bathroom.

I keep a little travel pack in my purse and one in the glove box..bought them at Wal Mart..nm
!!!
My son is 10 - bought him a men's 9 today (sm)
I know the feeling! His feet are bigger than mine and the same size as his dads!
I just went there today and bought candles!
Love them! I always buy candles there! I am burning gingerbread right now :)
Well I bought my first Christmas gift today...sm
for this year, and it was a big one. My son has been wanting a Playstation 3 since they came out, which I think was last year. They were $500 last year, and luckily he didn't push the issue cause that was out of the ballpark. Well I saved a little this year so I could buy him this gift for Christmas this year. He says that is what he wants. They are now $400 this year. I saved and saved and I had the money put back to get it. So I gave my mom the money yesterday, and when she went to Walmart this morning, she bought it. I am so relieved because this is a major portion of Christmas bought. I only have the one son. No more children. I am so glad I was able to get this for him this year and so glad I already have it bought and put away for Christmas.
Has anyone else started on their Christmas yet?
Dogs are pack animals. They want to be with their pack, sm
Which in this case is you and the rest of your family. I would suggest putting her crate in an area of the house where you guys are, *especially* at night, so she doesn't feel isolated. Can you put her crate in your bedroom at night, right by your bed?
I also agree with letting her gradually have more and more freedom out of the crate as she matures and is trustworthy not to chew things and is completely housebroken.
My last and probably most important piece of advice is to make sure she's getting plenty of exercise, especially before she goes into the crate. I have 4 indoor dogs, and I've found that exercise is a cure for many, many things. (There's a saying in dogs: "A tired dog is a good dog." So true!) A lot of dogs just simply don't get enough exercise, physical and mental, to tire them out. All that excess energy and frustration has to come out somehow. Maybe that's what's happening with her? Take her for walks, through a ball, etc. I personally use a device called a Springer that attaches to a bicycle and lets me safely take each of my dogs for a nice long run (without wearing me out!) You can find it here: http://www.springerusa.com/ (I do *not* use the safety release that comes with it, and I use a better harness than the one that comes with it, but I have big, strong dogs.)
You can also get a dog backpack for the dog to wear with something in the backpack to add a litte weight and help tire her out more than just walking will.
Some dogs are also just very sensitive to changes in the household. Maybe she's picking up on the hustle and bustle of this time of year and is stressed by it. (If so, exercise with be a release for that.)
Please keep us posted and feel free to share more info. and I may have more ideas. ;o)
slow starter
Any hints on getting going when you start your shift? It takes me a good 30 minutes just to begin every day, no matter how I psych myself up to "get at it". Have been coming to computer a half hour earlier to get set, read emails and fiddle around so when I clock in I'm ready to go, but I still will just sit here staring at nothing, fiddling around, etc., and take forever to get going. Do you all have special routines that get you going? One person I know has a special hat he puts on when he goes into his home office. I have not tried that yet. Thanx
Sweet sourdough bread starter recipe needed
This is sourdough but it is a sweet bread, not typical sourdough. Anyone have a recipe for the starter?
Go PACK!
I have and always will be a diehard Packers fan! LOL@ the Vikings fan because my closest friend is also a fan of theirs and it has always been a source of teasing between us! She has come up with some very creative names for the Pack which I cannot repeat here. lol, and the Vikings became the ViQueens through the years. :) All in fun, don't bash me.
I have never seen a broadway play but hope to someday.
Pack leader
Some dogs are very strong personalities and need to have a strong-minded person as an owner that has no doubt as to who is leader of the pack (and it should not be the dogs). If the dogs are dictating who is allowed in and out and who the territory belongs to, they are in charge and as you pointed out, it isn't the breed so much as the owner.
GO PACK! GO BRETT!
I've been to Lambeau only once but really loved it! Greenbay is about 3 hours from where I used to live so we didn't treck up there much. Especially in the snow!
I would buy a pack, but not 2 packs
x
they can also pack their lunch
x
Also pack anything you buy in your carry-on - sm
one of my group made the mistake of packing her stuff in her luggage, every single thing was stolen that she bought there. I took mine in my carry-on bag, as did everyone else but her. Just be smart and aware.
I'll help you pack...
x
FedEx or UPS will be fine if you pack it
It is how they come to you if shipped! lol
They think like pack animals, not humans. They are
asdf
You got any extras you wanna pack up...
and send to Maine, you feel free! 
This is the first year I haven't had a garden and I'm totally bumming now that everyone's harvest is in. My downfall are the little sweet cherry tomatoes that are all warm from basking in the sun all day and wicked sweet...I ate so many one year I swear I was pooping crushed tomatoes! Totally gross but it was what it was. Man, they really were just like candy!
Congratulations on your harvest!
What do you think of the quality of clothing today. What I looked at shopping today in nice stores
the stuff wasnt even sewn properly. Do you have to look at everything you buy or just hope it lasts a year.
I always put them in the lunch boxes with a cold pack. NM
NM
Pack them a decent lunch. That is garbage.

So, June Cleaver... what do you pack for lunch?
Finger sandwiches? Please. It is one meal of the day and kids would eat far worse if given lunch money. Now why don't you run along and iron your aprons or something :)
Your post says exactly what mine did. Animals are pack
fa
Guys tend to pack light, and
probably would be embarrassed by something you were calling a hope chest. Nothing wrong with having a bin with practical essentials for them to take with them, but if it goes beyond what they can see they'll need immediately when they venture out on their own, they might leave it behind. And if it is girly or can't take a beating or isn't flexible about going from DW to MW to oven, it's not going to get used IMO.
Midlothian, Virginia - would pack and move back now
if I could!
Pack the cookies in more than 1 reusable container with lots of wax

Can't you pack hot stuff in a thermos? Chili, soup, stew,
s
Added fresh chives today. to the egg today.
and a SMIDGE of soy sauce.
My hubs had it done, in office, local. Needed an ice pack for 2 days or so. No problems back in

The smaller M&M candy cane, Almond Roca packet (has 3 in it), baseball card pack

you should have bought it together.
my husband adn i shop together at the sex shops. i would be angry too if you were trying to hide it.
What GPS was that you bought ? ...sm
I am terrible with getting around. I could get lost easily and the older I get the worse I get with not wanting to drive. I would love a GPS that has the capability of telling you exactly when to turn etc. I have no sense of direction.
Thanks
I just bought something like that, it was about , sm
$14.00. I have 2 cats and they would just play with the mouse, so I thought I'd try something to keep it away.
I just bought it the other day and so far no sight of the mouse. Hope it keeps it away.
I bought one...sm
I just bought one this weekend for my 6yo son. He LOVED it. I made the outside only rule too and so far he has obeyed. It doesn't hurt to get "hit" with one and it seriously provided hours of fun for him.
Just bought my mom...
I just bought my mom Paula Dean's set which you can purchase at Wal-Mart. It is stainless as well.
I will take more than I bought in the first place
if they don’t cough up the $700 plus Tuesday morning and according to what (if that is the way it goes) it brings in on the court house steps, then I get % and the courts take % but not as much as mine. I can hardly wait until Show-Down at the OK Corral Tuesday morning. I just get ticked off thinking about their nerve.
Our son just got married in May and I bought
Regularly $129.00 and I paid $35.00 for it, so it is not necessary to pay a lot of money, the sales are out there. The colors were blue and gray and I wore a darker pink dress (not bright) and it worked out really well. I am a larger sized woman and the dress looked very nice in my size. I wish you the very best.
Just bought a Fleetwood PUP (sm)
and you don't want to know what we paid!! But we plan to have for years - into retirement so looking at it as investment. Have been out twice so far - we have the hard-sided bathroomm - we absolutely love it. I was concered about storage inside but very spaceous. We're on west coast so no advice on camp sites. Have fun and Happy RVing!!
My daughter bought that for her son
and he LOVES it. He learned so much and had a lot of fun with it. I remember my three kids all watching that show and it brings back memories. I really helped my grandson with several things he kept "forgetting." Does anyone else like Bill Nye the Science Guy? My grandson loved that too and my grownup son is still crazy about it. I say more good shows like those! Bring them on!
I actually just bought a Rug Doctor
from their web site. It is the best thing ever! It does a great job on the carpets and furniture. I can't wait for the weather to warm up so I can try it in my minivan. We have owned the store brand ones like Bissel and Dirt Devel, but they just don't do nearly as good of a job as the Rug Doctor. Ours came with huge supply of different cleaning fluids too. I love the thing!
I bought a new car a week ago...
If anyone cares. A brand new Kia Spectra. I got a great deal on it. They gave me a $2000 rebate so that meant no down payment. And they took off an additional $500 for applying for it on the internet. I love the car and it gets around 35 mpg. So that is my good news!
what is something you have bought in the past you will NEVER
Mine is Little Critters Omega-3 Gummy Fish. Cute concept but the berry, lemon and strawberry flavoried gummies somehow manage to taste like fruity flavored fish ![Shocked](http://www.thedailyplate.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_eek.gif") When I got them, my kids gagged with the first one and wouldn't even touch the second one for the recommended 2 a day. So guess who is choking down 2 of those suckers every day now?
LOL I just bought some candles SM
at the dollar store - I actually prefer them. I think because they are such cheap candles that the scent is not as strong as the nicer ones, but for me it is perfect - just enough to smell nice without being overpowering. I was just thinking I could buy 325 candles for the price of 1 of those Jo Malone candles. LOL
We just bought a new mattress - sm
It's a Sealy. Can't recall exactly which one but lower end on the price bracket. I think it was about 1000.00 for the mattress and box springs.
We had one of those air beds for a long time and I will never ever recommend one of those.
My husband also has back problems and needed a comfy mattress so he wanted that number bed thing. It was horrible. I would wake up with lower back pain that would stick with me half the day. His pain was worse too.
Not to mention the fact that his side of the bed sprung a leak so after about the first year or so, there was no adjusting it to a comfort zone. Had to pump it all the way up and by morning, it was completely flat and he was laying in a hole inside the foam frame. It was cheaply made, uncomfortable, and a HUGE rip off.
Go for a Sealy, it's worth it. I'm loving it.
No, but I bought a few things from WP
I bought a convetion oven a year ago and it puked out this past week when I wanted to broil a london broil. I was very disappointed. Up until then, I used to make cakes and whole BBQ chickens on the rotisseie which all were great, plus the baking/roasting things. I'm hoping I just did something wrong when but I'm afraid I might not have. I also have his SS pots and pans bought a year before that that are still sitting in the box because I found anoter set of pots and pans that were given as a Christma giflt, so I'm using them.
i will be making chicekn again this week rotiserries style so keep your finers crossed for me. Of course, the warranty ran out prior this happening.
You should have bought different camera. We went
xx
I just bought some this morning -- our
local convenience store (Sheetz) sells them in packs of 3 for $1.00. Love 'em, but nothing beats scraping the pot when it's still warm!!! MMMMMM!!!!
I bought everything I need for my Kodak EasyShare....sm
at Wal-Mart. Target & Walgreens also carries everything you need.
Need some advice. I bought what I thought was new
jacket (listed stated New with tags) on E-bay. Paid through PayPal. Got the jacket. It was obviously a used jacket (had a business card in the pocket and a small stain on the front. Contacted the seller. Said I could send back for refund minus $1.50 (for what I'm not sure). Contacted again. Offered to keep the coat for a refund of $10.00 only. Seller wouldn't do that. Will not refund money until he/she has coat in hand. This means I have to pay for return shipping. I want him/her to refund my money before I send coat back. After all, I didn't make the mistake, he/she did. besides that, if he/she would ship an obviously used jacket when New with tags was listed, I'm not sure this person is very trustworthy. I have to wait 10 days to file a complaint with E-bay. Should I keep pushing for the refund first or just wait and file a complaint with E-bay. BTW, this was supposed to be a Christmas gift, so, of course, I had to buy something else to replace this. TIA for any advice. Sorry for the long post. 
I've bought several things on E-bay and this is the first
time something like this happened. I hope your purchase is a good one. Most of them are. 
Years ago I bought a used Blazer from a guy -sm
who had gotten an extended warranty (6-years), he paid $1200 for it, it had 4 years left on it when I bought the truck. I had it transferred to my name for $100 along with the powertrain warranty. It came in very handy in my case, but it only covered parts, I still had to pay for labor. I did get my money's worth, but I only spent $100, I had way more than $100 in parts go over those 4 years, but I did pay a fortune in labor unfortunately. But if I was buying new, NO, I would not do it. They rarely pay for themselves, you'd have to have a real lemon to get your money's worth, and you don't want a lemon. They are just another way to suck money out of you. Whenever we have bought new appliances we always say no, and never has one died in the 3-year (or whatever) period of the extended warranty. Granted a refrigerator is not a car, but unless you are really hard on your vehicle I would not waste my money.
I watched it on Oprah and then bought the CD
It's an interesting CD and I really like the theory behind it, which has been around forever if you think about it. What I didn't like was all the emphasis on material things, wealth, money, etc. To me it seemed that was the focus of the CD whereas on the show the panel focused on many other types of issues besides just getting wealthy.
