My daughter had a doll but we bought a lot of furniture and clothing over the years at Target and she was tickled with it. How old is the person you are shopping for?

Target
I will go in with my husband, buy a coffee at Starbucks but refuse to buy anything. Don't like their 'return restocking fee', their return policy in general, and the general rudeness of their clerks. Their refusal to let the Salvation Army outside their stores several years back and then stopped the "Merry Christmas" from the clerks just added fuel to the fire....
Target
Target has a line of clothes for 18-inch dolls. They are called My Generation or Our Generation. The clothes fit the American Girl dolls. My daughter also has some of the other items, such as Salon chair and bathtub that are similar and MUCH less expensive.
I think that you are on target. sm
My son graduated last year and we ended up paying about $400-500 for pictures including the sitting fee. These were outside pictures as well as inside, sports equipment, etc. Another friend is going through this right now and her sitting fees are around the same price; she is also going to a few different studios pricing things and such. I think you are okay, they just know they can get you!
It's at Target...
hi
I don't know where you shop, but Target has them for under 100
Target has 500-count king size (up to 18" deep) for $70 on their website. If you're thrifty, you should have no problem finding them elsewhere for under 100 dollars.
I got my Wii at Target 2 months ago
They seem to be getting more and more in lately. I HATE Walmart.
I just found out I am a PA target.
I have been for years and just didn't know it. I knew I was the person everyone went to to feel better, and I would give everything I had (people pleaser). Most toxic people I have kicked out of my life, but it is hard when it is your sister. And it's hard to figure out you are a pushover. LOL!
Nip Tuck at Target
Let me know if you're able to get them at Target. I couldn't believe the price. I actually missed the first few minutes of last week's episode, although I did hear about the hot tub scene. I'm glad I didn't see it. Yuck.
For what it is worth, you are right on target sm
For one thing, this didn't come from the ex's mom, it came from the ex. You are 100% right in saying if she calls or comes to your home, you will not be rude to her or ignore her. Since you are included in things with the ex's mother, I doubt she is carrying any kind of a torch for your husband and her daughter. I think she is well over that, but thinks a lot of your husband and wants him to be her friend. It sounds like the mom takes people into her life as she finds them, which is a mature attitude...then again she is an adult and you and your husband are also adults. The ex is acting like she never graduated from high school! SUCH GAMES!
You handled it with much more grace than I could have. My hat is off to you.
Try Target......and call stores every day - sm
we went through this in August. Heard 2 things, they will only be selling them in bundles from now on (which we did not want)....and starting to sell them in China now, so not a lot coming to U.S, most are going to China right now so it is very hard to find them. We had bought a used one at Game Stop, but found a problem with it on the last day of the warranty (7-day warranty return policy on used stuff); took it back that night and still had to fight for a refund, and started hunting again. Told to call Wal-mart every day and run in there when they said they got them in (ours was getting 30 a week back in August with 1 weekly shipment but they would sell out in 2 hours). I found them at Target a day or two after we'd bought the used one.....of course they were gone when I went back a 5 days later. But my DH went into a Target in the town he was working and lucked out and bought one there. So if you have a Target, try your luck there, and keep calling until they get a shipment in and drop everything and go when you do find one. I am thinking about seeing if I can luck into any and resell on ebay, make some Christmas money! You can find them on ebay but I am sure as Christmas draws closer the price will rise dramatically. Good luck.
I call Target, WM, KB, Toys R Us...
Circuit City, Game Stop, Sears and Best Buy every day and have been for the past 3 weeks - no one has any in stock. They are really popular right now and when they do get them in stock, they sell out within minutes. I'm also signed up to receive emails from Toys R Us and KB Toys when they get them in stock online, but they too always sell out within minutes. It's just ridiculous how hard it is to get one of these. My parents are actually in central Texas this weekend and I'm hoping they'll be able to get one for me while they're there. ebay has them, but they're at least $100 over the normal price and right now I'm not willing to pay that. Oh, well. Hopefully, I'll be able to find one before Christmas.
LOL! We got ours at Target back at the end of the July
My husband was at Target one day back in July and called me at home to tell me that they had just gotten a bunch of Wii systems in and asked me if he should get one. I told him to get one because you never know when they will have them again, and we had been wanting to get one! We are both totally addicted to it! We keep going to Gamestop to buy more games, and keep buying games on eBay! LOL!
I don't meet the survey target , but
my two boys had a 10:00 p.m. curfew on school nights when they were 16. Curfew was 11:00 on weekends, unless something special was happening. I was told I was absolutely barbaric for setting such early times. My kids didn't tell me that. Other parents did. Not that I cared, mind you.
Each son proved himself to be trustworthy and responsible, and so the day they turned 18, all curfews were lifted. I only asked as a matter of courtesy that they tell me where they were going and give me an approximate time to expect them home so that I knew when to officially start worrying. They didn't have to tell me, but I asked them to tell me, which they did. In fact, for the first week or so after they turned 18 they'd ask me for permission to do something or go somewhere, and I'd reply, "Why are you asking me? You're an adult!" LOL!
They are 18 and 20 now, and doing just fine. The 18 year-old is commuting to a university in our city. He refers to us as his college roommates.
We found 2 different DVDs at Target. nm

I'd heard about Macys/Kohls but not Target. (sm)
Could you possibly share this website or where you received your info? I remember the flak caused by Salvation Army not being allowed outside Target doors - wondering if that has changed? I was curious about Home Depot/Lowe's who changed to 'holiday trees' instead..... Thanks much!
$300 for SHEETS? Try Wal-Mart, Target, or Ross!
.
Target has 400-thread count for $39.95 per sheet
Are you kidding?? That's a GREAT price. I'm going to Target. (sm)
Oh, the hot tub scene was great! I first thought it was blood, though, and I thought she got her period. Maybe the color on my TV is off?
Finally made it to Target. Got Season 2 & 3. They were out of 1.
I'll get it next time.
Get a reciept book from WalMart, Target, etc.

Same problem for me. Deep pockets - Wal-Mart and Target have them.

Timex Clock Radio with Nature Sounds - Target NM

And not to mention
that the Feds are always illegally targeting and collecting info on individuals who have done nothing wrong. Which is why our Mayor of Portland opted out of the Terrorism Task Force- he knew they had a history of doing this and without being given the security clearance to be able to oversee his cops and be sure our civil liberties were protected he was not going to have any part of it.
And God help you if they have erroneous information on you-you could be turned away from boarding a flight because of that, God knows what else, and trying to fix it will make correcting your credit report seem like a breeze.
And then there is past history to go on- The TSA promised not to and then turned around and collected millions of personal records to test its Secure Flight pasenger screening program.
When Bush was trying to sell the Patriot Act he specifically said that wire tap requires a court order, that nothing had changed there. We all know what that was worth.
And yes, the feds will blackmail the states into complying by pulling funding for all kinds of necessary services. They did it to Portland when we were the only city in the country who had the audacity to not follow the script.
Brief novel, but must mention...
Watched an MSNCB special the other day (couple years old) about a lady who's hubby was burned beyond recognition (12 pounds left) in a car crash. She got $150,000. She had an infant and a 4y/o from prior marriage. Within short period of time she had new BF. "Jake". 4y/o started showing out. Family curious. ?'s asked. They faked the death. Jake was the husband, with just a hair color change. Dug up a mentally handicapped elderly lady's body from her grave and put it in car and sent it over cliff. That lady's last wishes was that she not be cremated!
Reason behind them faking the death, not insurance money...He was fixing to serve time for raping his niece and they did not want it to ruin his life because he would have to register as a sex offender after that! She saw no wrong in this. Did not see anything wrong with desacrating the grave, said that was "just a body". Did not even seem to think she did wrong by telling child his father (step) was dead and then bringing him back with a different name. People are sick.
Moral of that story...You never know!
How odd you should mention that
 I was just telling a friend last night I was thinking of just loading the dog in the car with me and taking off a few days. I just got out of a 28 year marriage and think it would be lots of fun! Let me know how it turns out for you. Best of luck!
Just to mention
I just read on the internet that Helio's fiancee of 6 years broke it off, maybe the poster below asking if he has a brother, does not need a brother, maybe she can go for the real thing!
Did I mention...
You sound so much like me! And I am 36 also! I am already dreading the daughter-in-law thing! You know with girls, they always want their moms around, with boys, it is pretty much up to whoever he marries! I wanna babysit the grandkids! Time to kiss butt to the new daughter-in-law, hope I like her!!!! Does anyone have any recommendations as far as good companies to work for? You know, not too big, with good QA people. I don't need fulltime or benefits. Thanks for any info!
Funny you should mention that
When my son confronted me about Santa (I forget his age but had to be older than 7) and I told him the truth, he was outright mad, but more so, hurt. "You lied to me." I felt absolutely horrible.
But I guess it's a tradition that we parents do *for the kids,* but I wonder if it's not for us.
We love to see their faces when they believe there might be some real magical fantasy person out there...
Not sure how my daughter (7 years younger than my son) took the news. I think she heard it through the grapevine and still plays along for my sake -- she's 19 LOL.
I seriously do not think it's wrong to not do the Santa thing, but I don't think it's appropriate subject matter for the classroom... hope my son never becomes a primary education teacher!!
Oh, forgot to mention....
there was absolutely no need for prepainting, Kiltz or anything. The job turned out really good and neither 1 professional. All you have to do is buy white indoor paint or whatever color you want.
forgot to mention--sm
if you go to rembrandt's website, you can view Griffin House video of *Waterfall*, plus hear some others of his music. In case anyone else wants to hear what I am so excited about. he he.
not to mention philodendron (sp), as well..sm
main reason why I do not have live houseplants in the house. Cats will eat them out of instinct. I get grass plants for the cats, and maybe an occasional cat nip plant. (love to watch that!). Holly is deadly, as well. Poinsettas, too. Too many to think about.
You did not mention if he is neutered or not, if not
t could definitely be stud tail. If he is neutered, it would not be. To treat stud, a bath is usually in order. Believe it or not, to ready my stud male for a show, I put mayo on that area, rub it in and wipe it off with paper towels for a few days before his show bath, then his bath comes out really nice and he is nice and silky.
forgot to mention
that we did this for less than two weeks and they started to turn black and fall off. You need to make sure that you tape it on there really good so that the acid can work its magic with the tape keeping the air from the area.
You're welcome, don't mention it..*S*..sm
and again, try to have a relaxing weekend - good news can be celebratory!!! CYA next week!!!
because you mention paleontology
. . . this is one of those friends cousins exboyfriends brother-in-laws best friend had a buddy whose wife once knew someone who . . . 
you get the idea, but the owner of a security company I worked for went to college with David Schwimmer.
someone much closer to me has eaten lunch with Wayne Williams (YIKES!)
P.S. I currently am without the apostrophe, so please pardon the above.
You didn't mention their age sm
If they are under 10 years of age, I would hesitate to get them real diamonds because, even though I am sure they would be very careful and take good care of them, there is always the chance that they might lose them. And here I'm not concerned with the value so much as how bad they would feel about losing them.
There are some really beautiful semiprecious stones out there - garnets are my favorite, deep, deep red. Also topaz, jade, pearl - lots of choices.
JMHO. I think it is really nice of you to want to give these girls a gift, and I don't see anything inappropriate about it at all. I have recently been reunited with some family members who have children and believe me on the children's birthdays I plan to get them something VERY nice!
You did not mention if a father of your son
is around or involved in any way. I think your first attention should be towards your son, not the BIL because apparently your child is doing some acting out and it tends to escalate. When parents of young children oohing and aahing about them, I think about how it turns like your story now a lot of times. I had somewhat similar bad behavior (although never went against my telling no), some drugs involved. I just told my son would send to my daddys home- would have been worse than prison for him and I knew that- ole timer- early to bed and early to rise, take no junk type person. My son turned around because I always told both my children I did not have time for crap- I had to work and make a living for them and I would never put up with backtalking, walking away and doing what they thought they could so, swearing, hitting or the like.
Forgot to also mention
Black Beauty. I was an absolute nut for horses when I was a young girl. 
Funny you mention this - (sm)
My parents were telling me about their neighbors, and I thought it was a cute story. These people moved in maybe 18 months ago and have a son, about 11 years old. This little guy came by to see my dad, who was working outside. Pretty soon he announced that he was good at that kind of work too, apparently wanting my dad to give him something to do! This amused my dad because that's how my older brother was. So he put the kid to work, helping him out in his spotlessly beautiful yard. Pretty soon the kid's parents came over and kept chatting with my parents, not leaving. Finally my mom asked if they would like to come in for a glass of wine, and apparently that's what they were waiting for, because they said SURE and went right in the house for some indoor socializing. Sometimes people are just waiting for an invitation I guess.
I forgot to mention
it was suggested to me throughout this process that the cat could have a urinary tract infection. I guess it is common that they will use the litter box and other places if this is the case. You can buy litter that changes colors to see if there is an infection. It's very difficult to get a sample from them. I found the litter at Wal-Mart.
funny you should mention it
 My daughter, who is 39, is hooked on it also after being at a party where they snuck it from the 8 year old kids!!
Funny you should mention it!
I was at a birthday party Saturday night and "Rotel Dip" was served among many other things. Needless to say, it was the hit of the night! (By the way, I am in Texas!)
I should mention that it is very time
consuming and can be messy, but we had great success with it. I did it on Sat. morning so we would have plenty of time. I also used Danorex shampoo on them the night before I did the Cetaphil. Wet hair and massage in, cover head with plastic bag and let set for 20 mins, then rinse out. If they withstand the stinging from the shampoo, it will kill live lice. Then we did the Cetaphil treatment.
Wow, I remember that, too, now that you mention it. sm
I don't so much remember seeing people smoking, but I remember cigarette butts being on the ground pretty much everywhere, and I was a kid in the ྂs. I also remember people going barefoot in public a lot more, including the grocery store. To this day I still call it "Winn-Dixie feet" when somebody has dirty feet!
not to mention exhausted!
I might give it a try if it also included a 7 day challenge for housework! lol
Funny you should mention this
I threatened my 14-year-old daughter with both of them yesterday when we saw them side by side at the drugstore. LOL.
Forgot to mention this...sm
I used to have sugar and lots of it in my coffee, and I just couldn't stand the taste of the sweeteners but I gave it a try anyway. One day at the Dunkin Donuts I switched and asked for Equal in my coffee and now I don't use sugar at all. I even tried Splenda but didn't lose any weight for about two months and I was getting sugar lows. I switched back from Splenda to Equal and dropped seven pounds that week after not dropping anything for two months.
I did NOT mention in my above post
that circumcision is necessary for hygiene. I was asserting the exact opposite: that it is NOT necessary for hygiene. And I said that because we perform this procedure in a sterile environment, we have duped ourselves as a culture into thinking that it is less barbaric.
Cleanliness is easy: Pull back the foreskin in the shower & rinse away the smegma, & voila. Lack of soap & water is the sorriest excuse for surgery I've ever heard, & don't go quoting statistics about cancer unless you are prepared to take on the AAP. I'm just the messenger.
Of course you're going to fight the concept that you've been duped & that children have suffered as a result. I hardly blame you.
Forgot to mention
that he quit having his paycheck direct deposited into our joint account, and I had just sent a house payment, so now there's nothing left there. "His lawyer" (He also lied to me about hiring one.) supposedly told him he should be paying child support. That, to me means putting money in that account, even if he's not using it. It's in both of our names, so shouldn't we both be able to use it for stuff for the kids, if nothing else?
Tonight, his mom kept telling us it wasn't fair that he should have to come here to see the kids. She kept talking about how I "wasn't being fair" to him. Well, was it fair that I had to leave my home and my life because I couldn't stand to be treated that way anymore. I talked to a pastor about it even, who asked me why I didn't respect myself more (before we left) I told her the alternative sucked, too.
I don't really know what resources are available, but I am in counseling, so that has helped a lot.
Forgot to mention
When you live in a remote location, sometimes what they call off-grid living is actually cheaper.
Composting toilets can replace septic tanks, though not necessarily cheaper, just without hooking up to water supplies or requiring re-digging the hole in 10-20 years when the original septic reaches the end of its lifespan.
Solar water heater.
Solar or wind powered well pump.
Solar electricity for household power.
Propane tank and propane powered appliances.
Just some ideas for you.
http://www.lehmans.com/ is an awesome source for off-grid living (like the Amish)
yeah, and don't forget to mention--sm
that it is HUMID there 99% of the time, even in the winter. If you like to sweat, it is great! There is also the possibility of hurricanes, depending on how close you are to the coast, but even inland can get the effects of them. Just some of the cons. thought I would throw them in. I lived in SE Virginia, clost to NC border...hated it! Beautiful country!! but lousy weather! Glad I am back in WI.
