In Reply to: Looking for ideas for Mother's Day gift for a wonderful friend - sm - allie
Thank you to everyone who responded. The poster who suggested a manicure and pedicure had the perfect suggestion because she LOVES getting those. I never would have thought of that myself because I am not good at ideas for gifts at all. Yep, I am going with that idea! Happy Mother's Day to all you mothers out there!

Ha! Cattle dogs are great. I knew a working one.
That was one happy cattle dog, working a ranch in Texas. We could walk among the bulls in the field without any problems all because the bulls were so scared of the cattle dog.
My Misha was really funny, and I didn't correct all her sassy behaviors because they were harmless and hilarious, but I am reading Cesar Milan's book, Cesar's Way, and I think it's a great book for any dog lover.
THANKS for all the great ideas!
I appreciate your taking the time to share your recipes and post your links. Bless your hearts!
wow those are great ideas
We are in lonescouts. (I couldn't afford everything to go with wolf/cubscouts to join a pack) but the derby was at church. I will suggest those things. #3 is a great suggestion and would prevent many tears. I don't know if you are familiar with upward sports but that is how upward is. (It's a sports program) Every kid gets a star for something like best offense, best defense, most christ like, best effort, and categories like that.
Thank you again! :)
thanx for all the ideas, they are great!

Thanks for all those great ideas everyone!
Okay people the yeast infection thing was a joke!
Those are great ideas!
I've got to find a battery operated mouse or something. My mom always tells me she's going to buy me one of those robotic vacuum cleaners and I've made her promise not to because I'm afraid my big cat would kill it!
Great ideas!
Thanks for the great ideas! I am going to spend time today looking in the paper for some type of thing to do to help the less fortunate, plus I am going to try to see the light in my children's eyes when they talk about Christmas coming, AND I am going to Walmart for that Peanuts sound track. Guess I am Type-A at even trying to get into the holiday spirit. You know I do believe once I take the focus off of me, me, me and put it on others, well that might just do the trick! Thanks, your responses already cheered this Scrooge up a bit :)
Great ideas below, and here's another (sm)
well, an idea, not sure how great. LOL
If they like trying new foods, or have foods that they like that they won't buy for themselves, you could make a little basket of delicacies for them. Before my in-laws had health problems, we used to buy them those little cakes soaked in liqueur, two or three arranged in a basket and they'd portion that out over a couple months.
My FIL likes spicy stuff so we have bought him various Tabasco-related items, or differing brands of hot sauce.
Last year my son sold scout popcorn and we bought him a big tin of that as a present.
If someone likes to cook, you could get them a set of fresh exotic spices.
Good luck, we're right there in the same boat with you!
All great ideas. Thanks so much. nm

Great ideas! Thanks everyone~
I have thought about some of these before but didn't know if they would be worth the trouble or how to get started. You have provided some great information. I would really like to continue to have the flexibility to be at home but just earn a little extra from time to time.
some great ideas!
I just bought a brick of cheese so that is easy. also have some grapes, celery, carrots, and broccoli so I can make a decent veg tray with that and ranch salad dressing. i might just have to stop and get some crackers but i can get those at a gas station maybe.
Like you said, I am the DIL! lol but I know I'd make her upset if we left early so I better have some food so we can stay. lol
Great ideas! These people would definitely appreciate it! nm
:-)
Just my 2 cents, these are great ideas!
I like the card making especially.
Love it - great ideas
Sounds like all the things I did growing up in girls scouts. Good to bring them back to memory and do them again.
Website with really great economical ideas

She has some really good ideas that might work for you.
Be back in a bit, I have to go to the grocery store now! Great ideas. nm

Any funny/great ideas for couples Halloween costumes?
My 24-year-old DS and his SO have to dress up for a Halloween party. His older brother and his wife are going as Dog and Beth, and 24YO DS is trying to come up with something even better than that. Any ideas out there?
Great board and a super idea! How about fall decoration ideas?
Limbo. Great song, great game. Also,
The girls all line up and walk through a room as if they are modeling on the catwalk. Get a couple of bright colored boa's from the party store. It's a real riot and the kids have a blast especially if a couple of brave boys grab a boa and do it too. We've had many a birthday party doing this and it was totally hilarious.
Wow!! What a great attitude! I love that - great perspective!

If you only knew!
I'm not a pagan, just simply educated on many different religions and other things of interest to me.
I knew when I saw what was going on,
simple. He was having wrecks and letting me know about them. His wife was deceased and I tried to get help for him and even telling him he was being taken, did not think so. Red flags flying all around- 1 lady who cared for his wife before her death, married, younger than me, all of a sudden taking interest in a 90 year old man who did not use deodorant? No way. I was out of town, bottom line after his death the person I spoke had got $60,000.00 from him, had him set up an account in her name and his social security check and other monies going directly into that account. I knew what I saw. She went to the bank the day after his death and pulled all out. I have been there.
see, I knew you all (most) would come through
for me. Sounds like a good alternative. You guys have given me great ideas.
Knew you could do it.
Didn't take long at all once your Realtor knew you meant business. Better for him, anyway.
And to think I knew all of these
guess not, have so many of those sayings and yet had never heard of this.
I wish I knew
I have one in the house now that keeps landing on my computer screen. I can't get rid of him. Even my cat is no help this evening.
They say she knew nothing - I don't see how though (nm)

That is when I knew that...
...it was over in my first marriage When I was glad to see his a** go out that door and say to myself *good*, then I knew I had really lost that lovin' feeling.
THanks so much, knew there was a way nm
mm
maybe you took him b/c you knew
x
I never knew that
But with the large refund we got it's paying a credit card that we've been trying to pay off forever so I'll take the refund anyway I can.
I knew someone who did this too
I think this is a wonderful idea - of course, it wouldn't work for everyone but I can see a lot of benefits if it could work for you...
No...I never knew that either
Not that I care either way, I like her, just never knew that
Yes, and this is how I knew as well. sm
When you get to I don't give $ ___ you are there!
I wish I knew what to say but I am
65 now and have yet to have a midlife crisis. What is going on in your life that you just want to sleep and nothing else. You have no joys in life, just work alone? I have been in what I call ruts before but eventually snapped out of those. One thing is with my work if I would ever just get so fed up with working a lot and burned out basically, would find some time to take off from work and do other things I might enjoy, such as an escape to a movie, the zoo, etc.
Hey thanx, I never knew that! :) sm
About only adjectives with three or more syllables getting the comparative/superlative form of "more" and "most".
I've ALWAYS said "more stupid", but "stupidest" or "most stupid". Why, I don't know. But I usually avoid that word in any form.....
if you knew you were about to die
A friend of ours was a heavy smoker and drinker. He had an heart attack and quit smoking because of it. He has a bad liver and had to quit drinking. Now he found out he has about 9 months to live if he is lucky. He has cancer and it is in all his organs. He had started back to smoking and drinking heavy. Would you do the same thing?
We knew that - we won't dock your pay for it! LOL

thanks Jon-but I knew difference between the 2.
Gee. I knew that would happen! LOL!
Thanks so much to you all. I KNEW I needed help! :-)

Where are you? Wish I knew how to send
pictures so I could show you what our place looks like. I live in suburb of Atlanta and even the bigger homes in my neighborhood, say the 2-3 story places do not run, say over 400-500$$. I could not imagine paying huge price for a home to have a cracker box. I think lot of people paying huge amounts for homes would be surprised if they went on line and checked for homes say in Henry County or Fayette County, both just right outside Atlanta. You really get a bang for your buck here. Not only the cost but wonderful place, clean, quiet, really nice. What are the costs of your homes there?
I never knew they had that! Thanks for giving
me JUST ONE MORE snack to try!!! LOL. 
The last I knew they were about to wrap and that was some
strike would make any difference.
I knew what you meant
You know I did not even notice that, and I knew what you meant! I work third shift so believe me, I was in tune with what you were thinking...I get up too early every day.
HOW DARE YOU! She said she DID before she knew this (sm)
How rude of you to tell her to get a clue!! Very mean!! Why does somebody have to be mean in every thread?????
oh - I thought maybe you knew something
different and I was ready to go get it! Mine has attempted to get peanuts out of my peanut feeder when the squirrels let him.
If you knew me personally you would know that I do sm
not try to keep up with the Jones'. Far from it, to be honest. This post all started when I was really shocked to see that others had to leave certain areas in the ward whenever she wanted to visit the common area, etc. And then to suspend 2 docs for checking out her chart. I just found all of this odd to me. I am not obessessed with celebs. And when Di died? I really could have cared less. I mean, I was sad, but I didn't watch or read anything about it!
It certainly is! If you knew this family and this SM
young man! He used to have the lead in high school musicals with such a wonderful voice, is such a good musician and an all around good guy. It makes me so happy. He left for his tour of duty about 2 weeks before Thanksgiving, a very hard time to leave his new wife and family.
Thanks for your post.
Probably knew you'd be complaining about it
I'd say he expected you to carp on him about it, maybe because he really wanted it and figured you wouldn't, and that you'd complain about it, about the price, not really needing it, whatever. I'd love it if my hubby brought home a nice new TV.
As I stated before, if you knew what
the emails said, you would think differently about the whole situation. I have told her to not contact me if she isn't getting the kind of response she thinks she deserves or wants. It is not my place to give her any info about her bio dad. If she found me, she can find him. I have no right to allow her to disrupt his life, just as she has no right to disrupt mine if I don't want her to. Again, so sorry if I don't come across as the loving, nurturing mommy type to you. Is your life unfulfilled, because if so, I'll give you her number!
