Don't forget to ahead of time...sm
Figure out what you want to sell things for, and check ebay to see what items you have are currently selling there, and don't sell for less than that at a yard sale.

For example, recently I sold a used PDA for $20 + $10 shipping on eBay that my attempts to sell at a yardsale only had offers of $5. It had all of the original packaging, books, cables, etc and retails currently for $100.

I also sold a sump pump on eBay for $25 + $15 shipping that originally cost $80. At our yardsale I had guys bickering at wanting to pay even $15 for it.

Bottom line: Know the market and have fun, but don't be a sucker! :o)

It was a great time - I just hate the time we are in now
I liked your post. Thanks for replying It's nice to know other people were raised like me. We seem to appreciate the things we have. Oh I should've also said we didn't have A/C growing up. My parents idea of A/C was having my sister and I wave a piece of cardboard in front of them. HA HA HA.

I just couldn't stand the 90s and 2000s are even worse. I hate all the politics going on today, the world events, the bleak future. The degenerates running around, listening to kids talk back to their parents, girls gone wild, etc, etc. I'm grateful my grandparents and mom are not alive anymore to have to go through this with us.

I love watching old movies and the music of the 40s/50s. If I was alive back then I would've been doing the jitterbug and all those other fun dances. Life seemed simpler and cleaner (even though I've got a mouth like a sailer - guess I got that from my Army days).

I wouldn't mind the turn of the century either. I love the clothing and the simple life. Those are the times when the husband took care of the wife. If I could be transported back to the 1800s I surely would in a second.
The pain has not always been in the ribs
Did not go there (diagnosed in 2004/2005) until around the first of 08/2007. Now it could be the connective tissue that is around the ribs but nevertheless still ribs front and back. I realize physicians think some are drug seekers- I am in later years, trying to work most days, have things I like to do such as traveling and really just want a little pain relief. I was given Lyrica and Flexeril. I believe Lyrica has gotten a bad rap but will have to check up on that. Thanks for the post!
Question about spare ribs (sm)
I have a slab of pork ribs to cook for dinner (not baby back) I like them cooked with sauerkraut, but DH doesn't.  Any ideas?
baby back ribs
Any suggestions on how best to cook a rack of baby back ribs?  I've searched the web a little, but I don't want anything fancy.  I think I used to boil them (so they'd be tender) and then pop them in the oven for a while with bbq saucer, but the recipe on the package says to slow cook them in the oven (350).  I just don't want to ruin them!! Thanks. Again, no fancy schmancy, just regular ribs :-)
Have a Great Time
Even though I'm not a country music lover, I love Tim. Relax and have fun.
While it is a great time to buy...
the banks are very picky now who they are lending money to. DH and I just this morning refinanced our mortgage to 4.8% but our lender (Countrywide) let us know the type of person they are looking for. We have been with them for 15 years, have a great pay history, never late, always pay extra on the principal each month, have a credit score of 805 and no debt but our home. They told us the rates are high for anyone not at 700 or above credit score, anyone with any unmanageable debt (including car payments) and now MUST prove income (which is great compared to how anyone could get a loan not too long ago). Make a few calls and see what rate you can get. We were also offered a 3.75% for 15 years, which is fabulous. We only owe 160,000 on our home, so we jumped at the chance to just drop a full point down to 4.8% on a 30 year and may even take the 15 year. Good luck.
This time of year can be great but

Dealing with in-laws is awful sometimes.  I just need to vent so whoever does not want to hear it you mine as well stop reading now.  My father-in-law is crazy and I mean he is bipolar.  He thinks he is so innocent and people are out to get him when he stirs up trouble constantly.  This is the first time we have seen him at Christmas in 3 years.  He has caused trouble with my BIL and SIL and they have wrote him off yet again.  My hubbie says he does not want to do that because of the fact of what if something happens to him, he would regret it.  He wants to be forgiving which I understand it is his dad, but oh my gosh he stood in our living room last night and told us a bunch of lies which I am know for a fact are lies and then starts preaching to us about people and unforgiveness.  I was getting so mad I wanted to cry right there and I could not go to sleep last night I was so frustrated.  AAAHHHAAHHH!! 


Anyways just wanted to vent.  I do love this time of the year with the decorations and Christmas music just could do with a little less of the drama.  I wish people did not have to be dumb sometimes.  Okay I am done,  Thanks for letting me vent!! 


 


Yippy! Have a great time. Now you
can do a little shopping, LOL.

I'd have a ball in Yellowstone. Just be careful around the beautiful scalding lakes!

If you have time, you might want to use Google Earth and see what you can see from there.
Congrats, have a great time!........nm

Was having a great time (Beware, long rambling:-)

while I was scooping the back so thought I'd try to get a couple of pics for DH, who is gone for the next 10 days for work.  He's a labradoodle that we got last summer at 4 months old and before anyone jumps in here and says they're overpriced mutts (which they are ) we got him from a shelter in another city.  All of the dogs I have had have been from shelters and would never pay hundreds or thousands when there are so many dogs that need homes.  We saw a brown one last summer that DH fell in love with, so I did some searching and this shelter had several.  The others had been picked up as strays, a couple of older dogs and several puppies, which I guess all but a couple died from parvo.  Jake was turned in by a family who thought he was too energetic for their 2-year-old.  He had kennel cough, we discovered, when we got him home and was sick for a few weeks, but not too bad a case, had some snotty nose and coughing, was really worried about pneumonia, but the vet said to go ahead and give him the vaccine and sometimes that helps them get over it a little easier.  He's got a nice combination of lab and poodle coat, needs to be raked once a week or so, but he doesn't shed.  He's a little pill for sure but I think is going to be a great dog with a little more work.  He's still pretty ~boisterous~ you might say on walks.  I'm a Dog Whisperer fan, just love that show and Cesar Millan, so we ordered the collar that he uses on that show, and it really is making a huge difference.  Also, I was really impressed when we got it.  How many things do you find these days that are made in the US?  His packaging on the collar had ~~we proudly support our country, made in the USA~~!!  Even more of a fan now!


I have been checking out boxer rescues and if we can afford a home of our own, hopefully next year sometime, I'd like to get a pal for him.  I'm actually a big boxer fan from way back, have a pic mom took of me as a baby in diapers sitting in the middle of a litter of boxer puppies with them crawling all over me!  a wonder any of us grew up, huh , with all the things we came in contact with like that, she'd probalby get hauled away for child abuse these days.  Dad found the mamma boxer wandering the country roads one hot summer day when he was hail adjusting.  She was struggling, pregnant, really hot and thirsty, so he brought her home, no one ever claimed her, so Duchess became a part of our family.  I had a boxer some years ago that I adopted from a puppy mill raid, where I helped take care of some of the dogs that were rescued, 200 and some of all varieties and ages, mostly all sick, filthy, malnourished, etc. in the the middle of January, below zero, snow, and a lot of them kept outside with no shelter, was a horrible mess, but people in that town really stepped up to the plate, donated all kinds of food, leashes, collars, bedding, vets donated their services, and all but a few of the dogs (too sick and had to be put down) were adopted.  Duke was a very sick pup at first and didn't know if he'd make it, but he was a wonderful dog with my kids when they were young!


Anyway, just sitting here browsing the board and rambling on...By the way Hayseed, I visited your website the other day because I wanted to see your web cam (really cool!) and saw you had an RIP pic for Arf, sorry for your loss.  I remember you said awhile back you thought it wouldn't be long but must have missed when he passed and crossed the bridge.


Update: We went ice skating yesterday pm and he had a great time (sm)
I told him we are going to look into more places where he can go and do the types of things he likes to do. However, I do disgree that there is anything wrong with other sports...to each his/her own. If someone loves ball sports, I don't see that as making them a "follower". Everyone has an aptitude for different things. Thanks for all the suggestions and insight everyone!
Sounds great..Question about baking time/temp..sm

How long do you bake the muffins and at what oven temp?  These sound wonderful & so much easier than making pumpkin bread.   Thanks!


Their scoops are GREAT. I have perfectly shaped cookies all the time now. (sm)
I have had this scoop about 8 years now and wouldn't give it up for the world.

Also have a stone I use quite a lot. Great to get that crispiness on something without having to fry it in grease.

Their stuff is a little high dollar, but the quality is great and if you have a party yourself you can get quite a bit of stuff for yourself.

At least go and enjoy. I love Pampered Chef parties.

Friend has a Cuisinart grind and brew type, dispenses 1 cup at a time. Great coffee! nm

Go ahead but you are so wrong.....
So the more "so-called" religious people are, the more judgemental, self-rightous, opinionated, and unforgiving???? Nothing in the bible has been proven. There are endless contradictions. Heck, some people believe it was fiction. It is only the way you lived and the way you treated others that will matter in the end, and hon, pssssst......you're failing! lol
You are so good to think ahead!
We bought a PS2 last year...what were we thinking...now of course our son wants a PS3 for xmas this year. Go figure.

I hope to start a xmas fund for next year but I always say that and never get my rear in gear to do it. Xmas just gets more expensive as they get older.

I have only bought a few small things so far but trying to look at catalogs and get some ideas and things done now. It is right around the corner!

Good for you to be able to get a big gift out of the way so early. I bet that feels great! Who knows, maybe this will be a great xmas memory for you and your son. :)
I would go ahead and make an appointment
with an ENT stressing the problem you are having. If you end up getting better or going to an urgent care first you can always cancel the appointment. It you know of an urgent care that you trust you could give that a try. Good Luck

A lovely young lady came up to me while my mother and I were inspecting my perennial garden in my front yard.  She introduced herself as a missionary from Nepal from a nondenominational Christian organization.  She was just adorable.  She was selling jewelry as a fundraiser for her group.  It was some really unique, eye-catching stuff.  I spent $35 on a bracelet and necklace for my daughter, my daughter kicked in $20 for the matching earrings and my mom spent $40 on a bracelet and necklace for my niece for her birthday.  This was such an unusual thing for me to do, but I have been working so many hours and really not enjoying life and I had  fun looking at all her stuff.  I gave myself permission to splurge because it was for such a good cause. 


After the purchase, my husband looked up the name of the group on the internet.  My mom, daughter and I just contributed $95 to the Moonies. 


They jumped ahead 5 years! Not sure why!
The only thing I can think of is that they wanted to find a way to keep Orson on there without him somehow getting out of doing the jail time for running over Mike. Also could have been a way for Nicolette Sheridan (can't seem to think of her show name right now) to come back so quickly with a brand new husband.

In those 5 years, Mike and Susan got into a car wreck in which a mother and child were killed. Susan (or both of them) had a really hard time dealing with the fact that the mother and child were killed, and it ended up causing too much of a rift between them so they divorced. We just found out that that Nicolette Sheridan's (is her character's name Phoebe?) husband was the husband/father of the mother and child killed in that car wreck, and he blames Mike for it and is seeking revenge. He's trying to become good friends with him, and we don't really know what he has planned for him.

While Orson was away in prison, Danielle came back and took the baby away from Bree because she had married and now wanted to raise him. Bree had such a hard time dealing with losing the baby and Orson being in prison that she started drinking again. During that time, Kathryn was a big support to Bree, and they became very close friends and business partners in a catering business.

Kathryn and Mike have just started dating, which isn't settling too well with Susan because deep down she still loves him very much even though she has a new boyfriend.

Carlos lost his sight from his injuries in the hurricane that killed the Mayor, Gabby's husband. Gabby and Carlos got remarried and had 2 children. Carlos just got his site back.

Tom and Lanette have been running their pizza business and raising their children. Their oldest son, one of the twins, was having an affair with his friend's mother, who was married to an abusive man. Lanette and Tom found out, and Lanette tried to force them to stop the affair. Well, the married woman told the boy that she was pregnant. Lanette was confronting the woman, and the woman's husband overheard them talking about her being pregnant. The husband beat the woman, and Lanette went back in to help her. Then the boy confronted the husband at the husband's bar and threatened to kill him in front of everyone.

In the meanwhile, Dave, Phoebe's husband, set the club on fire to cover up that he murdered his psychiatrist because he was going to tell Mike who Dave really was. Dave has framed it on Tom and Lanette's son, so they are dealing with trying to prove that he didn't do it.

Lanette paid the woman off and made her leave town. Turned out that she wasn't even pregnant after all and was scamming the boy to try and get out of her marriage (I guess).

That's the basics. Not sure if you even wanted all that information. I sound pathetic knowing all these details I'm sure, but what can I say - I'm hooked and don't miss a week.
Not boasting, but I'm actually ahead of the game sm

We changed our lifestyle quite a bit over the last year.  We just built a new house out in the country, so we are not ordering in as much.  I actually make a menu for the week and buy groceries for that menu.  I plan my meals ahead of time, but we still allow ourselves the luxury of eating out, usually once on the weekends.  We were very fortunate to be able to budget for a geothermal heat pump, so heat bills!  YEAH!!!!  Because we went with the full geothermal (not just a regular heat pump), our light bill didn't go up that much either. 


I have 3 kids and they are all elementary age and play lots of sports.  They're all playing baseball, and the parents were given the option to either work the concession stand 1 game per child per season or pay $20.  Needless to say, I'm working the concession stand for 3 games and saving that $60. 


I also took on a part-time job in direct sales.  It has been a Godsend.  Not only do I get out a couple of nights a week with other ladies to have a good time, but I also get paid to do it.  I make about $200 a night for about 4 hours of work, although it doesn't feel like work.  I'm also on my way to earning a free vacation for next year through this company.  This year, we're headed to Disney with the money I've made so far from direct sales. 


I knew I needed to make a little extra income.  I work part-time for an MTSO now about 6 hours a day, and the money is good, but I wanted a little for the extras.  This direct sales thing was right up my alley.  I don't know how long it will last in this economy, but I intend to "ride the wave" as long as I can. 


~~~A smile costs nothing but can be everything to someone~~~


Okay, here's my posting! Go ahead and post your LAST WORD!
I know you're just ITCHING to!

and thank you for the entertainment! :)

Can you go ahead and print the alignment page?
The print heads on HP printers are in the ink cartridges, so when you change the ink you've got new print heads to align.

I think they require this alignment before they will work properly, so if you can print the alignment page successfully, the message should then disappear. If not, then check your printer properties in Control Panel for other diagnostics.

I call ahead and ask if he's running late.
They'll usually tell you. Then I get some other errands done. They have said that if he gets caught up in the meantime you will have to wait.

Funny, but I find the earlier I arrive for my appointment, the earlier I get in. They must take arrived patients in if the scheduled appointment is late.
Go ahead and flame me now....There is not one woman I would nominate...
let alone vote for. And I certainly would not vote for one running simply because she is a woman. Women, in general, tend to be catty, jealous, use their gender to get ahead, and hold grudges much longer! No way do I want some hormonal woman making decisions that affect millions! And yes, I am a woman, and I don't feel bad about my opinion.
yep - Spring ahead, Fall back.....

not every child in the 3rd grade is going to have the mentality of a 3rd grader. some or ahead
and some arent.  some still believe. there isnt that much difference between 1st, 2nd and 3rd graders...i am talking about an entire classroom of thirty children.  she didnt use the word " exist"...she had children raise their hands as to what parts of the story is false and fiction...i just think she could have found a diff story, didnt have to talk about santa ya know?
Hysterectomy. Thank you everyone for your thoughts and opinions. I have decided to go ahead with t
After obtaining the opinions of different physicians, the concensus is that my safest bet to avoid developing cancer given my borderline ovarian tumor is to proceed with a total hysterectomy. After pondering and fretting, although I am not thrilled with having a hysterectomy at age 42, I also don't want to be faced with developing cancer in the future, as they tell me I have a 20% probability of developing problems in the other ovary with my history. So full speed ahead....hysterectomy it is. If anyone of you has had a complete hysterectomy, I would love to hear from you regarding how you fared after the whole thing, if you required hormones, felt good, felt bad, etc. Thanks in advance.
Lucky Gwyneth!!! Go ahead, make your Monday :)

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!

No! That sounds too desperate. TIME. Just give it TIME. If it is real, then sm
something will definitely evolve. If you like him, flirt back! Don't act desperate because if he DOES like you, then the suspense will just make him want to get to know you more. Trust me on this.

I worked in the medical records department of a hospital when I was single and dated a few co-workers in my early 30s. It was fun. Nothing serious came about any of the relationships.

This sounds like fun - the beginning of maybe something to come....Keep us informed.
Totally agree, get these from time to time since teens...sm
It's a neuro condition, it does not mean there is anything at all wrong with you, it is actually related to narcolepsy, hypnagogic (sp? I just got up!) hallucinations, etc. And I HATE when I get these, it is always freaky, my siblings get this too, at times. I can "go away" for years and years before you get another episodes, so don't worry! I heard that when you are under a lot of stress or are very busy with things that this happens more??? Take care!!
It's time to stop when you or the kid(s) feel it is time, and no sooner. sm
My grandmother (who passed away at the young age of 107 back in the mid 1990s) was STILL celebrating every little holiday for all of her many kids and grandkids, and she would STILL give me a chocolate bunny every Easter, as she had since I was a toddler and even though I was 40ish at the time (and I still delighted in biting its head off in front of her, as I had also done since I was a toddler, which always met with mock disapproval from her).

Don't let anyone dampen your joy in celebrating your traditions.
What great determination and help from a great friend! :) nm

I am sure that you are a great mother and a great cook,

The very 1st time he talked about killing you, was the time
The guy sounds like a psycho.
Rachael Ray has a segment from time to time
on using the bottom of the bottle receipes (i.e. bar-be-q sauce, peanut butter, maple syrup) and I have used many of her ideas and been amazed at how far you can stretch a dollar that way. Go to her website, it will give you many ideas.
Oh Amy, surely there was a man who "kept" you from time to time..
or you were at least married and had access to money!
Time out and then spanking if time out
If we are out in public however, we do not go home. Spanking right there and then and the kids learn REAL QUICK mom means business. I do not mess around and I have a 17-year-old now that has enlisted in the military and THANKS me for his tough upgrowing. It helped him through basic training.
Well, I have questioned myself from time to time.
I figured this was typical.  DD has lots of friends but two real close friends.  I guess this is all part of building social skills.  I am glad I did okay then. 
Same thing happens to me from time to time - sm
if I roll over too quickly. I have positional vertigo. There is not too much you can do about it except try not to move or get up too quickly from a supine position. I have never had an earache in my life either so that has nothing to do with it. I don't ever feel sick from it though, just more of a nuisance for me every now and then. If it keeps happening obviously get checked out, you may have a more severe case, though again there really not much you can do about it, all it is is some particles in your ear breaking loose and that causes the dizziness, etc.
If I had not asked time and time again
for the daughter to ask me are you upset- are you angry- are you in a bad mood- People can think what they want- She is a very intelligent person and my asking to please should be enough. Gest of the posting. Selfish, OMG, that is really a laugh. I have and do take care of others well before my needs- I have given of myself, my time, my finances, the whole thing until, now this will sound selfish- it is my time now. I take care of me now- this is selfish but this is the truth. I raised my family, did all I could (still do for the daughter if she needs assistance which she never asks for but I offer)and now in golden years, me time.
Yes. Next time put a time limit on it., but is there any way you

I keep it in the office part time and on the patio part time
I've got the self-cleaning electric litter box (and boy is it worth the $100), and have a huge throw rug under it with a smaller rug by the litter pan that has a bumpy mat on top of it to catch the excess. I keep it in the office from April to October but on the patio from October to March as it is too hot in FL to leave the patio door open for them during the summer months. I also put out a spare box when we go out of town for the weekend.

Try a box that has deeper sides maybe, or not as much litter in it?
Great one! Thanks!! nm
