stealing for scrap
Just this last week there was an article in the paper that someone stole 300 bronze vases from a local cemetary.Isn't that the lowest?
Do you scrap or know anybody who scrapbooks. sm
If you know somebody who scraps, or if you do yourself, perhaps getting some pics of the couple at different times in their lives etc and put them in a book. I did that for my parent's 50th. There weren't a lot of pics, but there were enough to highlight 50 years of marriage.
Hope this helps.
If it can't be saved by a rebuilt engine, consider a scrap yard. sm
If you have a husband, SO, or brother, etc that is handy with tools, put an ad in your local paper and part it out. Or you can take it to your local scrap yard. They would take it off your hands. If it is a 2003, the engine block would most likely be aluminum, the catalytic converter has platinum in it, the rims are probably metal of some sort. You would be amazed what your local scrap yard takes. Plus you get money for it too. If you call, they can give you the price per ton for aluminum, steel, etc. We did that to our truck and made approx $1,500 when all was said and done. The only catch is that if they have to take it apart, you will not get as much for everything than if you take it apart. But that is something to consider. Good luck.
This was how I was rasied and I still practice this value

go to Wednesday's practice day if you can
I went to a tourny in Atlanta and aside from the Saturday and Sunday play, my favorite was Wednesday when they got to practice.
By Saturday I figured out that instead of following one set of players from hole to hole, it was better to pick a hole I liked and sat there all day. That way, I got to see every player. I think it was the 16th hole, almost 400 yards, big dog leg to the right, so I sat in the crook where I could see the tee and the first strokes landed the balls right in front of me. I wasn't that far from the restrooms and a snack shop, either :)
Lots of fun. Hope you enjoy yourself! I hope to be a volunteer at a tourney next year just to be closer to the activities and personalities.
It depends on the practice (sm)
I chose mine very carefully because frankly I believe some of the chiros out there are in it to hook you for the money with their visit and payment plans. So go on the recommendation of a trusted friend if you can.
When I went the first time, yeah, he took xrays and a history before any treatment, and his treatment consisted of a couple times a week for a month, then rapidly tapered down to "come in when you feel like you need it." Good luck!
Unfair Practice
Please, please beware of Transcription At Its Best, which is really Synthescribe, a not so stable company. The company will operate and function under different names for a short while, and then will fire everyone the day before payday, and change the way it pays employees.
My 17 yo son has hockey practice
3 nights a week so he really is too busy for socializing except on weekends so that works for me. I like knowing where he is and what he's doing during the week.
yes, you can practice by trying to pick up a towel (sm)
with your toes. Rather than doing the bending back and stretching, which I eventually started to think was actually aggravating my fasciitis, bend your toes under like you are going to pick something up with your foot.
Advanced Practice Registered Nurse - not sure about BC?

I really do like the doctor, but I'm not sure I'll stay with the practice.
It's a large practice with several ophthalmologists. I was seeing the only optometrist, and I believe his schedule tends to back up. I've ordered my contacts through this office, but I'll probably check out another practice for the next appointment.
nope not a gyn, family practice. gosh, i don't know why i am so nervous.......sm
maybe cuz i grew up very poor and just nervous about what to wear, how to act, where we are going, etc. and will i fit in. best part of the story is i was the one who posted about a month ago about getting out of a horrible relationship with an addict/abuser and wanting to stay single so i have had a hard life with a horrible man and this is my first date since single. yes, a little too soon i agree, but i can't pass the opportunity to go out with a doctor and he will IM me in between seeing pts and it is so funny and he is so sweet. he'll just pop up and say what kinda report you typing on now, you having a good day, etc. maybe at least it will make him think twice when he is dictating, LOL.
The wood will last longer if you
use containers inside of it. If you want to disguise the containers you can put something like spagnum moss over the dirt and let it cover the edges of the container(s).
Sounds like it is going to be neat. What kind of plants? Climbing vine?
Always better on the wood stove...
My grandfather had a room in the back of the house that was heated by wood stove (they got central heat when I was a kid, but he closed off the vents and heated that room with a wood stove because he liked it better). Sometimes my grandmother would cook in there just because it tasted better.
wood stove
That really was the good ole' days......
Wood stove
My ex-inlaws still use one.
Any one out there using a wood burning - sm
stove for heat? Preferably a Glacier Bay stove but if not please feel free to chime in. We just bought an old Glacier Bay wood stove so we can supplement our propane heat next winter as the cost of propane is a bit higher this year and he hears they plan to start taxing it to death soon, so we figured this is a good way to cut costs, etc. This particular stove has 2 decorative embossed doors on the front with a winter cottage scene, house in snow/pine trees, really very nice. Apparently originally they were highlighted wtih a bronze or silver finish, according to the sales brochure the previous (or original) owner had. Really very nice looking. They were a rusty gray which my DH refinished yesterday and painted black with the stove paint they gave us. The previous owner refinished everything but the doors. They are solid steel. So my question is does anyone have any idea how we could refinish the doors to their original glory? Or where we may take them to get them restored? It looks great now but obviously would look fantastic if we could re-highlight the higher raised parts of the scene. If I can figure out how to post picture I may do that later today.
cheerios. taget practice might sound gross but it has always worked for me.
I have taken care of and have potty trained a lot of little boys over the years all starting before 2 and the best thing I found was putting cheerios in the toilet and having them try to shoot the cheerios, like target practice. I have also used fruit loops and made a game of which color they could hit. Anything that floats and is flushable is fair game. They love the game and always want to go potty.
If it is warm where you live a few days going pee outside works too. They can go when they want, do it themselves and learn how to control their urges quickly.
On the other hand, #2 for most boys I have found is harder. They usualy hold it for too long and need to get their bowels on a regular cycle. I have had a couple boys up until 4 hold it all day long and then go home and their mother would put a diaper on them so they would go and then want to be changed right away. As soon as the mothers stopped that though the child went to the potty fine. I would recomend talking with his doctor if that happens.
Good Luck!!! It will happen when he is ready.
But this is not a school-wide accepted teaching practice, it is individual (nm)

Bamboo? Not really a wood, rather a grass
I pulled out all my carpet (have a very hairy cat who sheds constantly) and put in 1400 s.f. of bamboo bought from Lumber Liquidators. It's not really wood, though it looks just like wood, it's really a grass made into wood-looking flooring. Easy to take care of too. My cat throws up too but now on the floor (and not the rugs that I now have in several places. *S*
Once I did this, I could now *see* the dirt that I couldn't really *see* in carpeting and one gets to see what y'all have been breathing in (with carpeting) for decades no matter HOW much one vacuums. I must say we are all BREATHING better since I got rid of the wall-to-wall carpeting!
Best of luck in whatever you choose to do. *S*
If you don't already have a wood scratching post - sm
get one, you say you have some cat things, but is it just plaing wood, not one of those carpeted ones. I got ours at PetsMart, it is a special wood post with holes in it to "attract" the cat. We got ours when she was a kitten and has always uses just that. There is the stray try on the bedpost or dresser, but luckily I have always seen these attempts and just yell at her and she stops; so far no harm has been done as I have always caught her before she dug in. The only other thing she likes to claw at is an exercise mat (one of those that go under a piece of equiment), we have it over the brick pad in our kitchen (for a wood stove that we do not have) so the kids would not fall and hurt themselves. The cat loves to claw on that, I generally let her though cleaning up the little black pieces is a drag, though the vacuum gets them up quite nicely. But she leaves the furniture alone except to lie on it and sleep all day! My daughter wants to get another cat, I don't, can't believe we would get another that would be so good. I guess you could just keep a really good eye on them and if they start to scratch, maybe use a spray bottle on them to deter them, or a sharp no (that is what I do when I catch her in her rare lapses). I hope you find a solution.
The wood chucks eat everything in our little burg

My last MIL cooked everything on wood stove
and things were delicious. She never had electric nor gas and probably would have never wanted one. How she did it, I will never know. She cooked everything from collard greens to breads such as biscuits and cornbread. Yum, yum.
We have wood laminate and LOVE it easy to
throughout our main floor other than the bedrooms and it is very easy to care for (we have 1 dog and 4 small kids). We also have Frieze carpet in our downstairs it is light beige, but has flecks of darker colors in there and our dog (and kids) have thrown up on it many times and you can't tell. I do however have a Bissel shampooer that I use whenever something happens to the carpet, but it seems to wear really well.
Maybe you could get wood, Pergo style or tile?
Of course if your carpet is in good condition, that could really hurt the pocketbook.
We have Pergo (Wilson Art brand, actually), and it works well for the dogs, although it is a little slippery and cold. (My dogs like cold though, and our carpeting was trashed). Real wood would be warmer. You'd need to keep nails cut and discourage running in the house to keep it looking really nice though.
Question re wood laminate flooring
We have wood laminate flooring in our study, which we love. However, we are going to put a room-sized rug in there because my beloved dog, Fox, a 10-year-old Pomeranian, not only has problems with patellar luxation (with four surgeries on his back legs in his first 3-4 years) but now has chronic dislocation of his right shoulder. So you can imagine how much trouble he has trying to stand up on the slippery wood laminate floor. We have tried putting down runners all the way across the floor, plus he has a bed and a blanket down there, too. But it is much cooler lying on the floor, so that's where he stays. He is in here with me all day as I work, but every time I get up, he gets up, scrambling like crazy to get his balance and get his legs firmly under him.
So....to my question. This is a fairly nice rug we are buying, but it says it has a polypropylene backing. Should I get some kind of pad to go between the rug and the laminate floor? I have included a link below, I don't know if that will give you any more information. But I don't want to damage the laminate - the backing on one of the original runners I bought (cheap, from Wal-Mart) stuck to the floor. It didn't damage it, but it was a very small area and I found it fairly quickly. This rug is going to be on the floor long-term.
Thanks in advance for any info! 
Love the Wood Wick candles...sm
sounds like a crackling fire...and they are strongly scented - excellent quality. I also like the Swan Creek Candles. They are highly scented and have some delicious scents. My favorite is Buttercream Vanilla and they have crumbs on top of the candle that melts...wondeful...
Never heard of Circle E candles but try Swan Creek if you see them!

Followup to unfair practice and followup
This goes along with my first post. None of my references have ever told me they were contacted. That is just a waste of time and energy. I don't know why these companies lead you on. I would just love to find a stable company.
Google, google, google and make some practice
