Pedi. Bath or shower?
Bath/shower gel? Pair of earrings?
Nightgown/pajamas? Gloves/ scarf? Candle? CD or DVD? Purse? Movie tickets?
oops - baby shower - wrong shower!
Sorry, tired eyes here. The thank you notes envelopes might stand and you could make a puzzle with baby words.
Baby shower gift or shower
Anyone have some creative or unique baby shower gift ideas or shower ideas? or what is something that you couldn't live without when you had your baby.
I have heard of giving a book instead of a card and signing the book. Also heard of wrapping the present in a blanket or crib sheet instead of spending money on paper to throw away. I have heard of charging an "admission fee" of a package or diapers or 1 package of diapers buys a raffle ticket for a prize.
Sorry, that's "warm bath" but arm bath is okay too LOL
Hope you do well, I'm thinking of you!
I have seen them at Bed, Bath, and Beyond....
or it may be Linens and Things in your area.
What do you use to bath him? - sm
My min-pin was always itching and scratching and rubbing on anything he could. Then the vet told me to use baby shampoo on him, and it worked. Plus I only bath him like every other month or so. Gets a little stinky, but I love him anyways. I don't usually give him a bath until his coat starts to look not so shiny. Seems to have worked so far.
Not until after his bath, LOL.
He just came out of the shelter and I can hardly wait for him to be clean.
But oh does he appreciate belly scritches.
He is such a good boy.
LOL the bath tub
I JUST thought of doing that. I'm sitting here telling myself my husband will think I have completely lost it if he comes home to see I have filled every empty jug in the house with water and the bath tub!!! lol I'm doing it anyway. Glad I'm not the only one to think of that.
We are also in MI. I keep thinking back to the other ice storm we had a few years back and the blackout where there was no gasoline or anything. Scary stuff but I would just like to try to prepare this time around if I can. As soon as I finish up here I'm working off your list. Some really great ideas to catch up laundry, charging batteries, etc. Thanks!
Have you tried a cool bath. sm
I have also heard rubbing the child down with alcohol helps. Prayers going up for your baby.
Old dog getting stinky - even the day after a bath! (nm)

Bath and Body sm
My DH got me some B/B red leather collection stuff, makeup bag, manicure/pedicure set (awesome) and a little purse which came with Moonlight Path shower gel and body lotion. I already had the overnight bag and the tote. I just can't get enough of that red - I'm a bling, bling girl all the way!!!
Bath and teeth
Maybe it's the toothpaste. Some of it tastes yucky to a kid or the mint may be too strong or brushing could be irritating his gums. Let him pick a child's toothpaste and soft toothbrush and see if that helps. As for baths, I had to be dragged kicking and screaming to the tub. What mom didn't know was that my older sister kept sneaking in and pulling the plug, telling me I was going to go down the drain. She said if I told mom she would call the adoption agency and tell them to take me back (I wasn't adopted, but at age 4 I didn't know that). Maybe he saw something on TV that scared him. Some shows are pretty graphic (news too). I recall one show where a lady was brushing her teeth and blood started pouring from the faucet. Try letting him sit in a dry tub with a bucket of water for a sponge bath. Sit down and talk with the kid (not talk to) and assure him/her that if there is something going on you can help.
Why did they say your dog needed a bath?
I just throw my collie mix outside when it rains and maybe take him to the groomer 2 or 3 times a year. If he was rolling around in mud and dead animals, that would be different.
How did an innocent bubble bath
This discussion the strangest thing I have ever heard in my life! My husband uses body butter from Bath and Body Works, but he's not gay, and he is very, very masculine. He just has dry skin and cares about his appearance. I'd prefer clean and fresh, then nasty, stinky, unkempt with dirty fingernails. I don't think there is anything wrong with a man caring about his appearance. To each his own I guess. 
I like the ones from Bath and Body called
socks to sleep in. They are so soft and so warm. My feet are also constantly freezing. I wear slippers all winter long. I have some, the brand is "old Friend" and they are leather with sheep skin in them. Your feet do not get sweaty, just toasty warm. I go through a pair every year because I wear them until it is about 70 degrees outside.
You rock! Thanks.
Good sprinkler for a noodlehead like me.
Rock On! Same here..
after 20 years of carting my kids, their friends, sports equipment, saddles, and of course helping half the planet move -- my youngest just got his license and I got myself a ragtop (2-seater) Saturn Sky. I may be old and pudgy, but I'm having a BLAST and it's all mine, mine, mine! Enjoy
I haven't tried the cool bath or the compresses yet.
I will try those and see if it helps to break the fever. Thanks so much for the replys.
Buy one of those bathtubs and fill them up with bath toys sm
and baby towels, washcloths, Johnson & Johnson stuff, etc.
Or buy one of those dishwashwer tubs that fit into the dishwasher that holds nipples, pacifiers, etc and wrap that up in a baby bath towel with a big bow on it.
Get a basket and fill it up with onesies, socks, kits that include medicines, etc.
I love going to baby showers and creating unique gifts!
tub bath outside in sun or cozy in front of fire
!
If you have a bath and body works locally, try...sm
their shower gels and body butter in whatever fragrance you prefer. I too have such dry skin that it cracks and bleeds, especially on my hands and feet. I can write on the skin on my arms and legs it gets so dry, and my face looks like a road map if I don't moisturize. I also have very sensitive skin, but the perfumes they use don't seem to bother my skin. I use the Neutragena Wave foaming cleansing pads on my face and then use the body butter. Also try not to take really hot showers, the heat is very hard on the skin, and make sure you pat dry, not rub as that tears the skin. Apply the body butter first thing in the morning, right out of the shower and again right before you go to bed. That may seem like a lot, but it does not take much of the body butter. I use it usually about 3 times a day, sometimes more on my hands, and mine still lasts quite a while.
Throwing out the baby with the bath water
It seems somehow kinda wrong to determine that the health care is good enough for our military but I sure as heck don't want it for me. It's like those situations where instead of increasing standards all around to make something to be proud of, you lower the standards to the least common denominator. There is no reason not to use the military system and fix what's wrong with it rather than determine that it won't work. My girls were delivered in naval hospital, had surgery in naval hospitals, saw Navy doctors, etc., etc. The care my family received through them in wait times, time spent with patient, treatment, etc., was no worse than it was when we belonged to Kaiser years later.
PUGS ROCK!!! (nm)

sheet rock
I have seen this painted and I have also seen people do sheet rock mud over it to smooth the lines. We have paneling that I hate. Bought MIL's house. Hubby loves it. Too dark but in great condition We are just going to put sheet rock on top and go from there.
under rock I suppose...
sorry, just never heard that one before...pardon moi!
Rock of Love
I just got done watching. I'm so glad Lacey is gone. I really like Jes. Most of the other women that were on the show were just too trampy for me. I have the feeling he's going to pick Heather though. I love all the shows you mentioned. How about I Love NY? She's from here in Syracuse. Feel free to email any time to talk about the shows. The same goes for JMR down below.
Now that is very sweet. Rock on, ma!
:)
Better climb under a rock,
or have all the posts been there for years? Nothing new. Liz Taylor stole Eddie Fisher from his wife, then had affair with Richard Burton (who was married)- hmmm guess they were way past their prime (also dead) to make to DWTS- this happened in the 60s and Ingrid Bergman (in the 40s) had twins with a guy she was not married to (married to someone else.) Like I said, better just go to a remote island and be alone for it not to happen.
Schoolhouse Rock
I love those! I want to get them for my 7-year-old son. I learned so much from all of them, especially the preamble to the constitution. Your kids are gonna enjoy them!
Fraggle Rock
I love Fraggle Rock. We got a couple DVDs for my friend and I got some for myself and made the kids watch it. :-)
FYI - Rock Band
We were going to trade in 1 guitar for the rock band set and were told the Rock Band still has a lot of kinks to work out and the sales person advised us to wait until after this Christmas as it will probably be the big thing for Christmas and the problems will be worked out.
I would love to get the 80's one too! I didn't know they had that! My husband was a DJ in highschool and I bet he would love that. Ok, that's now on his xmas list. lol Thanks!
I must live under a rock...
as I did not know that either! Not that there's anything wrong with that 
I wasn’t clear enough, I meant when others bath your furkids
Sorry..
What rock do you find these kind of men under?...
You are not respected in your marriage. Tell him to go by himself, save his own money and take your kids somewhere YOU want to go while he is gone. Please don't say that other than this he is a wonderful father, good provider, yada,yada...he has no respect for you or your opinion, which cancels out any good attributes, IMHO of course....
Remember Schoolhouse Rock? I just got the 2-set DVD from sm
our local library. My kids are loving it! They are 3 and 5 and 11. All boys. The 3 year old loves it the most.
I can't believe how much I'm learning! I just learned a few things on the song "I'm just a Bill, sitting on Capital Hill!" HAHA

Between a rock and a hard place - HELP!
Okay, back towards the end of last school year some mothers decided to have a coo at the elementary school and take over the PTO for this coming year from the ones that had been running it. Shortly after that, the now ex-pres moved in next to us. The neighbor across the street is now on the "new" PTO. Somehow, they didn't elect a president for the coming year though and they came knocking on my door "oh you'll be great, we'll do all the work, we just need you to run the meetings, etc". Well, I let the principal know that I would and now am regretting it. I have a full-time job plus type part-time at night (switching to just weekends when school starts). My husband is gone during the week so that leaves me to take care of kids, homework, games and practices, etc. I get calls and emails all day long regarding PTO. I thought about just sticking it out for the school year (I do have the flexibility to be off or leave early, come in late from my full time job) because I really want to be more involved in the school since my child is going into the second grade. Well, the final straw was a few nights ago when a bunch of us parents were sitting in our driveways watching the kids playing. It wasn't until after the ex-pres comes outside (she hasn't talked to any of us since all that happened), that the neighbor across the street starts talking PTO stuff at a level that the ex-pres can hear (I never replied to her about anything). My husband went ballistic! We came in the house and he said that was uncalled for, we need to move, and that he's very upset about me taking on the role of president. SO, what do I do now? How do I gracefully back out but not get shunned from being up at the school and helping out with some activities?
The other story with that neighbor across the street that has bugged me this week - everything my child gets (we are not frivilous by any means), she makes sure her kids get the same things, even down to the exact same pair and color or tennis shoes for school, clothes, bicycles and now, the yard ornaments that we have had in our yard, i see she has bought some and are now in her yard also. I cringe now when I see her but I hate to keep my child from playing in the front yard just because her kids are out there (same age). Any ideas on this too???
What a crappy week!!! 
I need room under the rock, I didn't know either.
no msg
Navy Seals ROCK! sm
I am not surprised they were able to accomplish the rescue. Have you seen those shows where they detail what exactly the training they go through entails and you watch people actually going through the training? It is brutal. Those guys who make it to the end are the cream of the crop. Once again our military comes through! I am so happy about the good outcome! 
Don't use alcohol. Fumes are no good. Just playing in a coolish bath while
s
Don't feel like the Lone Ranger. LOL. I get that from Bath and Body Works. sm
Seems like the minute I run out of a fave scent and go to get more, it has been discontinued. I think it is a conspiracy by Bath and Body works. LOL.
shower...(OP)
Thanks y'all for all the great replies...apparently I am not alone in my feelings here!
Anyway, as I mentioned, this is my DH's family...the ultimate shower-givers. They give a shower for every baby (in my family, it's 1st baby only...unless--like mine--they're 8 years apart), every wedding, new home purchase...anything you can think of. BUT...the kicker is...if I don't show up to this thing, next year when my DD graduates and I have her grad party, they WON'T show up...that's just the way they are. So, I'm thinking of taking a "vacation" that weekend and just mailing a card with my "greenbacks"---BTW, love the fake money idea---after all, that's all she really wants, right?
Ah, families---aren't they just WONDERFUL---
Reality show fan too! What do you think of Rock of Love?
LOL! And I Love New York from Flavor of Love! Surreal Life. lol. These are the best entertainment these days if you ask me. And there are so many I can't even remember all of them.
Also love Top Chef, America's Top Model, American Idol, etc., and that hair show called Shear Genius with Jacklyn Smith. Hope that comes back.
I had to get something similar to TIVO so I could record all of my shows!!!!
spent NYE playing Rock Band for PS2
a lot of fun though discovered I'm never going to be a drummer (or a singer) :) So I guess I won't quit my day job.
Were you at all aware of the 60s and 70s? That's exactly what the bulk of rock stars WERE doing!
fffff
Think what you need are called deep pocket sheets. Try Linens n Things, Bed and Bath, JCP. nm

Put all the food in a cooler, fill freezer with pots of hot water, & bath

Shower curtain or not?
I have a bathroom that goes off my office and really not used but having a dinner later on and I do not have a shower curtain here. I had the bathroom painted and did not want to get a rod that would have to be on the painted part as afraid it would pull my paint off if removed. The shower/tub is a wrap around and being as I do not have another shower curtain in the house (enclosed showers) wondering if anyone can tell me, does the rod fit on the shower part or would it fit outside, that being on the painted part. I hope this makes sense. Any suggestions?
Wedding shower...
My niece is getting married in August and is having a shower in July. Long story short, they live together, have been for a looonnnggg time now. On the invite, it says "Money preferred" with a bunch of $$$ around it. They're calling it a "greenback shower"...Is it just me, or is this totally disgusting and greedy? Makes me not wanna go. Also, I am not even sure how much to give. We never see them, only at family functions (DH's family.....)...anyway, is it just me that feels this way?
wedding shower
I agree. I think they have a lot of nerve expecting guests to "finance" their life together. Are they getting married after so long just to make some bucks? Or are you supposed to help offset the cost of this wedding? Are they registered? I'd give her a gift (if that's what you'd prefer). If you feel you have to give money, I'd probably stay in the $25.00 range or whatever you feel comfortable giving. Of course, you could always make an excuse and not go. After all, they'll probably want money as a wedding gift also!
