'Scuse me, I buy ALL of those brands...
I just appreciate nice quality items. I do not have a closet FULL of these items, but I do own them. I also have items by Chanel, Armani, Dior, and Louis Vuitton.
I'm neither rich nor snooty. I prefer to buy fewer items that are of quality, rather than waste my hard-earned money on items of inferior quality that won't hold up for even the season they were intended for without looking like they were fished from the Goodwill depository.
Many times you do indeed get what you pay for.
I look on it the same way I look on MT work - Quality trumps Quantity.
Yes, I saw your post, but my link includes all brands recalled. (sm)
I think it's really important for pet owners to be aware there aren't a lot of safe brands out there right now.
IPOD
My daughter has the 30gig IPOD with video and shes loves it and her brother has a shuffle which he equally enjoys.
She has added all the CDs she used to carry around everywhere with her to the IPOD as well her friends share music with her. Her grandparents aunts and uncles send her Itunes gift cards so that she can purchase videos (0.99 and up) and such and download them as well as whole cds which she can purchase to download for $9.99 and they cost me alot more to actually buy and then she will burn a copy to save in case of loss.
Also the IPOD gives me peace on long trips because each has their own music and I can set the radio anywhere I want.
SUGGESTION If you order your IPOD directly from apple they will engrave for free (whichs helps if it is lost) as well as ship for free and you can also purchase an extended warranty. BTW the new shuffle is extremely affordable at 79.99 if your child is like my son and only has a few CD's but if she is a musci fiend like my daughter you will want to get a larger one. Also you can purchase accessories from ebay and other places for a fraction of normal prices.
HAVE A GREAT XMAS
It's on my iPod, but...
It's mostly a lot of 90s pop and alternative music (Matchbox 20, Third Eye Blind, Goo Goo Dolls, etc). I think I also have some Eric Clapton and Elton John on there as well!
iPod
About four years ago I received my first iPod as a birthday gift. I hadn't asked for it and didn't know why my husband thought I'd want one, especially as I had a really nifty portable CD player. I tried to get that iPod to work, but the iPod and my PC just would not play well together. In the heat of techno-stress (the sort of stress that only comes from not being able to get tech things to work properly), I had a bona fide tantrum. I was ready to throw the iPod into the trash. My son, however, after laughing at me for a while, helped me out. I have no idea what happened, but I am now on my second iPod (moved up to a video) and am hoping that hubby gives me an iPod shuffle for my b-day today, because it has no moving parts, and I want to use the shuffle for jostling workouts.
I love my iPod(s) and think that the iPod is the greatest invention known to mankind. LOL. I found that my iPod works best with iTunes. If you ask iTunes to open when your iPod is connected, the program and the iPod will greet each other and talk like old friends. Also, check that you don't have any other programs, such as RealPlayer designated as your default audio player on your computer. Sometimes, another audio program will open at the same time as iTunes, and that just confuses the iPod. The iPod will work much better with iTunes, since they are made for each other.
And once you get the iPod working, check out the podcasts at the Music Store on iTunes. Podcasts are fantastic little radio/video programs on just about every subject imaginable.
Good luck with it! Once it's working, you'll love your iPod.
iPod
I have an iPod too, and I love it! I have everything on mine from Bach to Metallica and everything in between. If yours plays movies you can use Quicktime to down load movies from DVD to your iPod. Great for long car rides or waiting rooms with the kids.
Suggest
For slow dancing - Best of my Love by the Eagles. Also for dancing, Marvin Gaye Live at the Palladium - I can't think of the name of that song; also Brick House, Play That Funky Music White Boy. I think Elton John would be good to listen to during dinner.
I suggest you get one!
This is even forcing people to keep company with a dog. Some people don't even know I have one at times; it is that inconspicuous. Look the other way if you don't like the idea. Some cities are very dog friendly just like some people. I feel sorry for people who can't enjoy their own life and have to bring others down with them. I have found that some dogs make better people than some people 
Would suggest Kne" :)

May I suggest
You try a holistic brand cat food with all human grade ingredients and no byproducts. Table scraps are fine and healthy as long as they are whole foods and not processed. Also cats do not have molars to grind their food, so dry food is not really conducive to their method of chewing. I only give holistic brand wet food. If you ever noticed when your cat throws up its food it is barely chewed, that is why, they can't chew it and have to swallow it whole mostly.
By the way I like your quote too.
May I suggest?
My daughter is a hairdresser. I have short straight hair, but she recommend to me a shampoo called Catwalk-Curls Rock. It can be used for curly or straight hair I also have color on my hair. I got a large 25.36 oz. bottle of the shampoo and the same size in the conditioner. They both have a pump dispenser on them.
What would you suggest?
Would anyone have suggestions for MTs looking for a higher pay rate? If one has good references, background, experience, and skills - what more can they do to earn a starting pay greater than 7 cents?
I agree that it is not much financially but with all things considered this seems to be the going rate these days for an MT with less than 5 years experience.
all i can suggest
is a green-apple spray. check with your vet and/or pet store. good luck!
What I would suggest - sm
I would send out either via e-mail or regular mail a little dinner invite and state specifically "no presents" on it. If people want to show up with presents anyway that is up to them, but you have stated your preference. I actually LOVE this idea!! Best wishes...
What I suggest - sm
There really is no comparison in my mind. My hubby had the snip when he was 30. It took no time at all, was done in the doctor's office with 1 Valium, he spent 1 day off work with an icepack, and was probably completely back to normal in about 5 days and even playing golf. He said it was no big deal. Several of our friends have had it done with similar experiences. It really is the way to go!
i would suggest
talking to your doctor. That kind of swelling can be several things, maybe even kidney problems. I am a bit older than you and 40 lbs overweight, but don't have the swelling. Have some blood work; get things checked out. you may be able to nip a much bigger problem in the bud.
Anyone have MP3/IPOD stuff?? sm
i'm thinking of getting an MP3 player so when i walk i won't have this bulky CD player in my pocket. i know you download music on it, but can you take one of your own music CDs, put that music on the computer and then download that music off the computer into your MP3? did that make sense? just thought i'd see if anyone here knew how that stuff works. thanks!
I have an IPod Nano.
Yes, you can record songs from your CDs. I also have an adaptor for my car and a home stereo you attach it to so you can play the music out loud. I really do not use anything else for music anymore. I love it!
An IPOD cover. nm

Thanks - mine's not an Ipod though- would (sm)
would your computer not even recognize it as a mass storage device?
Love my Ipod too
Do you have the plug in adaptor so you can play it out loud in the car and the home docking station to play out loud while home? Got to really hate buying entire CDs just for a couple of songs and then the pain of having to skip through all the songs I didn't like. Then started making my own CDs but oh what a pain that was. This is just SO neat. Love it!
I have the iPod video
I have lots of movies on mine!
Help -- I got an IPOD shuffle and
I don't know how to get the music from playlist to my IPod.
Can you help me out? ');>![](http://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/sowhat.gif")
IPod envy
It kills me, but I cannot justify spending the $$ on an IPod when my curtains are blowing in the wind through my 30-year-old rattling windows and other miscellaneous home improvements that need to be done. Yup, the CD player is big and awkward and it eats batteries. I am waiting for my son to get whatever new and improved IPod exists and then he can give me his old outdated one!
Glad you like the name!
No problem. Don't get him an IPOD. nm

If he doesn't want an iPod, why are you getting it?
Is it your idea that he'd like one?
A few years ago when iPods had just come out, my husband bought me one for my birthday. I didn't want one, and I he knew nothing about them. It sat in it's box for about a month, and then I finally used it. Well, that was it. I became addicted! I now think that the iPod is the greatest invention known to mankind. Heck, as far as I'm concerned, NASA could have saved the trouble of going to the moon, because the iPod is better. LOL!
I'm just joking, but I really love my iPod. I eventually got a video iPod and I also have a shuffle. I like them both. I really enjoy podcasts, which are like radio shows produced on just about every subject you can imagine. I have enjoyed learning about new things and even taking Italian lessons on my iPod. I also download audio books along with music and travel videos.
I like my shuffle because it has no moving parts. I take it on hikes and runs and use it when I work out. They are now about $50. They're very simple. You simply load the audio and the machine plays it for you. You can't select songs or see any info. The video iPod has way more features, and you can even watch full-length movies on it. I've also loaded photos and can carry those with me. Of course, it has all the audio features of music. My son has an iPod touch which he seems to like. He's an engineer, and he likes gadgets. LOL. The nano is still available, and they are a nice step in between the video iPOD/touch and the shuffle.
I have an Apple iPod 30 GB.....
and I friggin LOVE it! I've had it for about a year or so now. My stepson has one as well. I use mine everyday while I type for work. I bought a Bose speaker dock. I've got like 1,800+ songs on this thing and I haven't even used up 1/4 of the memory on it. I bought a cable that plugs into most new vehicles so I can listen to my iPod in my vehicle.
My brother has a Zune MP3 player. He seems to like his as well but I don't know much about that brand. I just know I love my Apple iPod and my Bose speaker. The Bose speaker sounds awesome and you can take it outside for parties, etc. I is small enough to put on my desk for work without cluttering it up. Also, when I have my iPod on the Bose speaker....it charges the battery on my iPod.
You can buy cheaper iPod docks than a Bose one, but I really like my Bose!
Ha! I might suggest that to the poor
folks who still work there. This woman would probably put them on KP duty, though.
;op
I would suggest she also speak with
the hospital administration about this issue. I would think it is a definite violation not to have him in an isolated room, which would be indicated outside the patient's room. Not only are they being exposed, but the patient may be being exposed to other viruses in an immune-compromised state.
I would like to suggest one thing to you, OP...SM
Please talk with your husband and tell him that before he makes any more threats about military school or what the next step will be, that it is a decision that the 2 of you make TOGETHER. I have a DD with several psychological issues and what I find is that if DH and I disagree on anything, it's a weakness that she swoops in on. She is a product of your marriage, and your marriage should NOT be defined by her and if you two are not in agreement, that's exactly what will happen. I'll be thinking of you!
You have a lot to deal with here. I suggest (SM)
you take 1 issue at a time. You have a good list started...prioritize based on safety and legal issues. Re the will, POA, etc., download some forms from the internet or buy some...they are widely available. Fill out one of them as a draft, leaving blanks where he needs to give input. Then take it to him, go over it with him, and ask what he wants in the blanks. Then compile a final for him to sign and take him to have it notarized, if needed. Then move on to the next thing on the list. I wouldn't make a big deal out of anything, just make dealing with one thing part of your regular routine when you visit him.
Re the house, spend some time making a safe, clean space in it for him to live his daily life...kitchen, one bathroom, to start. Get and install any grab bars or other equipment he might need. Get him a medical alert necklace for his birthday. I found one at WalMart that doesn't require a monitoring service...it dials 9-1-1 in an emergency.
This is just a start, but that is what you need to do, just start. I hope some of these suggestions are useful.
I was going to suggest the same things...sm
Next time he threatens suicide, call police and get him Baker Acted. Then mental health professionals can confirm what you suspect (true mental illness), or at least find him some outpatient resources.
If not, get restraining orders, at least your mom should.
I know it hurts because it's your dad, but it sounds like it's more than you can handle on your own.
Too funny, I was just going to suggest NOT doing that
Someone already has everyone's address or they wouldn't have gotten an invitation to the shower in the first place. I've heard rumblings at showers when this has been done and some guests just don't like it. Everyone has their opinion and not stepping on toes, but I think it's tacky.
Agree with everything else...the list of gifts for personal thank you notes is very important. And I had the paper plate with the ribbons. Games are always good, too.
My favorite thing for iPod -
My daughter's best friend bought her a cassette tape attachment that you can plug in an iPod to in the car and play it over the cassette player. It was just $10.00 at WalMart, and between her iPod and mine, we never need to listen to the radio again!
I have the 60 GB iPod video and love it
and have tons of albums and videos on it. Some of my favorite ones are Matchbox 20, Third Eye Blind, Oasis, Coldplay, Goo Goo Dolls, The Fray, Dave Matthews, etc. I always take my iPod to the gym with me. I sometimes listen to my it in my car also since the stereo in my car has a plug in for iPods and other MP3 players, but I usually just listen to my XM satellite radio while on the road. I love their new Starbucks channel on the XM cafe.
I have an 80 gig iPod video and love it
I couldn't live without mine!
recently got an IPOD video - how do
I organize my music on it? I recently added Christmas music, and instead of taking it off, I wanted to put it in its own folder for next year. Does anyone know how to do that?
got my IPOD - what are your favorite downloads
trying to think of everything I want to put on mine - so far - everything from Creed, Joni Mitchell, Paul Rodgers, Sarah MacLaughlin, Peter Gabriel, and the theme to "Saving Grace" - Everlast - I LOVE that song!
Son wanted an iPod last year...
He wanted one really badly but I just couldn't afford to spend that much. I ended up buying a Sony Walkman instead. It had a bigger screen, twice the memory and has just as many features as the iPod for half the price. He loves that thing, never leaves home without it. Now the only problem is finding accessories to go with it. It can hook up to any speaker system, it just uses a regular headphone/speaker jack but there are so many accessories out there specific to iPod that the Sony won't fit directly into the holders, have to use the speaker/headphone jack instead.
I guess it all depends if he's an accessories kind of person (which the iPod is the better choice since it's the leader in the market for accessories) or if he just wants a good MP3 player to carry around with him, then the Sony is perfect. Also, if you take a look a Zune, you can order one with a custom lasered cover, which is a pretty neat detail.
If he wants IPOD, it is brand specific. sm
find out which one he wants and get him that one. They are the best, and especially if he wants an IPOD.
any ipod savvy people out there??
My ipod just bit the dust and I just purchased a new one tonight. When I tried to sync Itunes to my new ipod I wasn't able to do so, as the sync option was grayed out. I am going through severe ipod withdrawal (an entire WEEK without it!) and I just can't seem to figure out how to sync itunes to my new ipod. Is there a brilliant genius out there who can help me with this? My daughter and I would be eternally grateful!
Need gardening help. Can anyone suggest a flower sm
particularly one that will come back every year but doesn't have to, to plant in an old, antique bathtub? It's a standard size, sits in a lovely area under shaded trees. It's full of dirt already and I am looking to plant something resilient, yet pretty. The previous owners grew tulips, I believe, in them. I haven't done anything with this tub for 5 years and all of a sudden I developed this green thumb. I have planted gorgeous flowers all over my property and in really pretty containers. I've been spending almost all day outside these past few weeks. I live in AL if that helps you any. Do you have any suggestions? doesn't have to be all flowers - can be greenery with flowers. Like I said, lots of shade......Thank you!!!!!!!! 
Then I would suggest for clean water and
beaches you take them to Cancun. Florida has some bad water and beaches a lot of times. The water in Cancun crystal clear and the sand, no matter how hot it is, never burns your feet.
I thought of an iPod, but he already has one and because he lives in the city, the air gun
It's such a quandry trying to buy for a teen! I really don't want to just get him a gift card. "Auntie" really wanted to do something memorable. He's getting older and he's just not that little bitty guy anymore! 
I have that song on my iPod and listen to it when I'm working out
NM
:-) Birthday Girl - Mine is not an Ipod - LOL!!! sm
Sorry...just giggling over here. Maybe when I take this one back I should get an Ipod instead ;-)
You beat me to it! I was going to suggest Estelle Harris
and Renee Taylor (even though YEAH she was blonde). She has the nose but Estelle has the hair. LOL.
I was going to suggest taking a walk, but jumping around
aa
i suggest making an appointment with your doc ASAP sm
the health of you and the baby might be at risk...why take a chance? you already have enough to worry about and have 3 more months to go! i'm glad you came here for an opinion, but we're not practitioners...i think you need to get off your feet and talk to your doc stat!
Would suggest that Katrina be omitted, at least for a few years! :) nm
s
Odo Ban - I highly suggest it. The smell is terrific. sm
especially if you have animals, etc. My friend gave me hers as she bought it from Sam's Club and I love it. You get a gallon jug and then a sprayer. It's an all-in-cleaning. She even puts it in her towels when washing. I just am very pleased with the smell. Just a little suggestion if you are having guests this holiday season!
