The best thing for dirty diapers - mini diaper bags at the dollar store that sm
smell like powder. You get 50 to a bag - they are little blue plastic bags. Tie the poopie up tight in the bag and VOILA! throw it in your trash and no smell!
Maybe a mini-makeover would
give you a confidence boost. Never hurts to go to a highly recommended hair stylist and see what they might suggest to update your look. You could go to one where they do makeup also. Ulta does both.
I love to watch What Not to Wear to see how big a change can be made and to get ideas. Sometimes the difference is huge, and they don't call it "being on the market" for nothing, LOL.
Dell Mini
With a mini, can you do everything that you can do with a laptop?
Anyone remember Mini-Poo? ...
For those who don't know, Mini-Poo was a product to put on your hair to prevent it from getting oily (it was like a talcum poweder). Well, I thought it was a great idea and I was sitting in class in high school one day and my best friend was sitting in back of me. She mentioned how nice my hair looked that day and as she said it she patted the back of my hair and, you guessed it, the Mini-Poo looked like smoke coming out of my hair. She couldn't help but laugh....it was embarrassing as everyone in back of me noticed it.
There are many rescues for mini pinpins
We just purchased a puggle and she has been very gentle, and very smart. Not one accident even in her kennel at night. She is a big baby though and doesn't like to be alone, a lap dog pretty much, but has playful moments too. If you are looking for an indoor dog you might want to check them out or the mini pinpins. Good luck to you, whatever you get, I am a firm believer that like children the "parenting" is what is going to make the difference in a good dog or bad one. :)
Why a mini-strike? Keep it up and they will step up

Maybe he had some kind of a mini-stroke or something, and it
Asian chicken mini skewers
Marinate cubed chicken breast, about 2", in Teriyaki sauce with lemon zest overnite in a storage back. Soak wooden (round)toothpicks in water about 30 mintues before skewering. Set oven to 400º. Skewer once piece of chicken per toothpick. Place on lightly sprayed cookie sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes. If you want, heat the left over sauce on the stove for 20 minutes, until reduced. (You must cook it before using it to avoid contamination). Braise chicken skewers with sauce reduction immediately after removing from oven.
mini-dauchsands - maggie and milo
Maggie and Milo. both girls. Last one was Ginger - also a mini-dauchsand - she died at the age of 18.
Mini-marshmallow shooters. Saw them in a catalog (sm)
thought they might be a fun for grandchildren. Will their mom kill me? It says for outdoor fun, but you can imagine they will be shooting them inside at least once. They are pretty good about picking up after themselves though.
ANyone have/used these and tell me if I am going to get in hot water if I buy them some. TIA.
cash cab
Anyone out there enjoy The Cash Cab on the Discovery channel featuring Ben Bailey?....Just found this and I'm an avid armchair player...I'd probably freeze-up in the cab.

cash cab
I caught that several months ago and liked it, but could never find when it came back on - when is it? thanks, I'll look forward to watching it, there's such junk on T.V.now I can't stand to watch!
I would not cash it out. If he wants it so -sm
bad let him cash out one of his, but you will have to pay penalties for early withdrawal as well as taxes on the money. Go get a car loan at one of those dinky used car lots, we have something called DriveTime here that says "everyone" gets approved. Plenty of people trying to sell cars and make a sale, just get a loan and keep your money in the bank. My husband insisted we get rid of my Suburban this April (of course then gas plummetted) though it still ran good at 230K miles, had some cosmetic issues inside and a few dinky problems but ran great (had no engine issues). His parents insisted on loaning us the money though we were just going to get a car loan. So we borrowed $14K, got a 2004 Trailblazer at Carmax with 42K miles, and had been paying them back at $650 or so a month when they "forgave" us the balance of the loan ($10K) as a Christmas gift (they gave my BIL $10K a few years ago for his house downpayment, guess they wanted to even things out). Granted not everyone's parents or in-laws can act as a bank, but if your's can you can always ask for a loan (and put it in writing if necessary--we did not as they knew it would not be an issue). My in-laws are very tight with their money so it was a complete surprise for us, and obviously greatly appreciated. We have had a lot of bad karma lately so I think they were just trying to be helpful, that and even things out between the brothers.
We used mostly cash
I think I may have used credit just once for something that was more expensive. We did try to spend less than usual this year.
I used cash.....nm
ss
cash only
We used cash only and spent a little more this year as we bought little gifts for everyone. Dh has a PT job making deliveries and he got tips at Christmas time that more than covered Christmas.
As I was saying. Your own children. I love mini yorkies and when my kids
are old enough, I will get one from her. I have bought a lot of things for her dogs and do not resent her at all for not coming to see me. I am very emotionally healthy, have a great relationship with Christ as my savior, but actually feel sorry for her that she is missing out on so much because she refuses to leave her dogs. How can that be at all healthy? And you say you don't want to be around your family because they are not dog lovers? So what? Whenever our family gets together we ALL have things that the other person does or doesn't do, but we still love them as PEOPLE. My mom misses out on a lot and I feel for HER.
As a Biblical Christian, we are called to love others (she is too), and reach out to others. It says absolutelly nothing about keeping your family and friends out of your lives because "they don't like your dogs" or because you don't think they love you if they don't accept your dogs. What an enormously selfish way to live your life.
You should be able to cash the check at...
their bank as long as you have ID. They don't have to tell you if there is money there; if they can't cash it, you'll know. If not I'd go in tomorrow or Friday. Good luck
times for cash cab
6 pm and 6:30 pm EST and Cash Cab After Dark at 11 pm EST on Discovery Channel....Enjoy the game!
If there's ever a Cash Cab marathon...
I'm callin' in sick!!!
My daughter (21) and I play along and we complement each other's knowledge very well (baby boomer vs college-educated LOL) and we would SO be rich!! I think if we happened to get lucky enough to catch the Cash Cab, we'd say...Take us to Boston!!! haha!
... but I think Ben is a little scary ;-)
you can't go wrong with cash! nm
I am planning several long weekends this summer for mini-vacations.
We are going to drive up to the Omaha Zoo for a weekend. We live in rural Missouri north of Kansas City, so it's about a three or four hour drive.
Then, we have a family reunion in southern Missouri and I'm planning a 4-day weekend for that so we can spend some time in the Ozarks.
Then, we will go into Kansas City to Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun.
Then, I'm planning a four-day weekend in Branson.
So I guess we are going to explore our state too!
Plus we have a public pool in our town that the kids spend a lot of time at. Then there is girl scout camp for my daughter. My son will be getting a job this summer as he's 16 now and mom can't afford gas for my car and his car and to pay for his dates all of the time.
As you can see I try to keep my kids as busy as possible! There is nothing worse than bored children when you're trying to work!
Try to catch a ride on the Cash Cab.

Don't use them myself, but my MIL uses her Discover for the cash back. nm

We, too used cash this year as we have for about the last 10 years . . .
glad, too, because the work load always crashes right after the holidays for a few weeks and at least I don't have that extra headache right now . . .
We paid cash, spent about
$1000 total for grandkids and gifts for each other. We are debt free except our house. There is nothing like being able to sleep well at night and not be afraid to answer the phone should it ring. We have lived this way for many years, have learned to save money, pay cash for what we want. This has been to our benefit as we haven't had our CC companies drop our limits or increase our percentage rates at all; in fact, our limits keep rising even though we only use them once or twice a year. The thought of having to pay for something many months and years later is baffling to me.
This is my way of making some cash on the side...sm
I can sew and I love making cute crafty things. So this is a purse I made. I put it on ebay. We'll see if it sells. Give me ya'lls opinion please.
I hope you have a receipt for the cash - sm
she may be nuts enough to take you to small claims court over the $300 saying you were quoted X dollars and did not pay her husband. Though he might have to be the one to actually bring the lawsuit since he did the work, though she might talk him into it. I also hope you had a written contract as well in place, always pays to cover your butt in these situations. She is obviously desperate for cash (is she not eligible for unemployement?) or having contractor remorse for hiring out her hubby and thinks he short-changed himself and that you took advantage. ----- When I first started reading this I thought it would be, oh I hired a friend's husband, he did a lousy job, we don't want to pay him....that sort of thing. Glad it was not that, seems like you we happy with the work, paid for it as agreed and that was it, then the wife/friend got involved. My DH is not one to haggle or overcharge for anything, gives away his help on big things, and it drives me nuts, so I normally handle that sort of stuff though it is rare for us. We do a lot of bartering on my road, you scratch my back, I will scratch yours sort of thing, from helping start cars to fixing TVs (my DH has saved our one neighbor mucho $ fixing their TV a couple of times). If we cannot repay the favor we either pay in cash or beer, though not so much in beer anymore as the one couple we do this the most, his wife wants cash though the husband is the one doing the work, so to not make waves we usually give him cash depending on what he did for us. He will do car work for me when I cannot get my DH to do it, I pay him for that. But little stuff like moving something we trade favors on. ----I hope she does not become a huge problem for you.
I would give $100 cash and leave it at that- sm
if you can afford a little more and think $100 is too cheap than do so--I certainly would not go over $300 though. If you don't want to do cash then give a gift card to a store you know they like. I think it is ridiculous for a kid (or parent) to expect a gift for graduation. I would just send a nice card. Kids (and some adults) are way too entitled these days and expect everything just given to them. If you do end up buying something engraved make sure is is something that will actually get used and not tossed out by the kid. They might use a keyring for that nice new car he/she has.
No, but I love that my neighbor's mini yorkie is named ZEUS! haha nm

best cash-back credit card?
We've been using the GM card to get new cars for less, but i'm open to a different card that rewards general purchases, food, gas, apparel etc, with cash back. Any recommendations? thanks!
Do any of you do online surveys for cash or prizes?
I've done a few surveys over the last few days, and was wondering if this kind of thing is really worth my time.
manicure/pedicure salon gift cert or mini spa day. They love that stuff! (me too) nm
Happiness is a heart thing; pleasure is a head thing.nm
I do the same thing
I like it when there is a web site that has pictures of the docs/PAs/nurses . . . so funny to see how they look, after already having an image in my mind from hearing their voice.
I once had a boss, with whom I had only corresponded by e-mail, IM, etc. When I finally did speak with her on the telephone, my image of her changed completely, although I still do not know what she really looks like. In this case, she went from a very professional-looking, large (as in big-boned, tall, etc.) red head, to a very large (as in fat), short, still red-headed (but in a messy bun, rather than professional shoulder-length style), barefoot, straw-hanging-out-of-her-mouth, country bumpkin. LOL :)
it cut off the first thing is said.
i said to say how you wish you could change it all for him but you cant...and also, the plot of this angle would be putting guilt onto him that what his father has done to him, he did to him...not to your children and that they shouldnt have to endure the same pain as he has to go thru. when i play this reverse psychology stuff with my husband, of course he gets angry..bla bla..says whatever, btu then i always see him using my advise later..it does soak into their hearts.
Only thing you can do is pay or it will
go on your credit. Sorry this happened but I would not cosign even if it were for my own child if I thought there was even a remote chance that they would default from lack of responsibility/funds. I would tell her that you will pay it but that she has to pay you back and set up a payment schedule for her to pay you back. If she will not go to the other girl, that is her problem, not yours. Tell her she will have to pay you back and be emphatic about it, even if it is at $10 a month to show her that is not the way to handle responsibility.
The only thing I know is what
my realtor told me. When we were signing contracts, there was a special on TV about this. He made some comments because apparently he does not think this is a good idea. From what I know, you cannot see inside the house before the auction or have an inspection or anything. It is as is. Unfortunately, you do not know what type of structural problems this could include. They showed one guy who bought this house he had his eye for a long time at a very cheap price. When he got in there to start renovations, he found a lot more problems with it than he anticipated. Luckily, he was a contractor though and had the means to fix it up cheaper than you or I would and was actually selling these homes once finishing them. He said that one he about broke even on. He said it was a hit and miss when buying like that.
I agree with the other poster though that you should find out the laws in your state first and see if it is occupied still which could present another headache in itself. Good luck!
It was the best thing I ever did. sm
Had abdominal hysterectomy due to endometriosis, ovarian cysts, adhesions, fibroids, etc.
I wish I did it sooner is all I can say. I was up and out of bed the following morning. I, like you, had previous c-section, so I anticipated the pain, etc.
Really, no big deal for me at the age of 37. I am completely without pain now. What a relief! Had problems since I was 13 - now none! I can honestly say I feel like a new person.
Good luck in whatever you decide.
My son does the same thing... sm
Who says we're not focused on our work in our home environment???? AAAYYY?
My doc said the same thing
live your life. I've not had a flare since 13 months ago. I've defintely found keeping my mind busy and my body active makes for a better attitude.
We do the same thing. nm
nm
Only thing I would add is that I would definitely not
allow my child to talk to this person on the telephone - that is what caller ID is for. Otherwise wonderful advice.
I was going to say the same thing, I am also
wondering why such a wonderful man would have two ex-wives.
One more thing -
Do give your MIL the number of the vet you use in case she needs to take kitty there for something. I have done this with the people who have watched my cats over the years. They have never needed to take them to the vet for anything, but it gave me peace of mind knowing it was in place should it be needed. It sounds like you have covered all the rest. Enjoy your trip!!
And another thing....
I didn't choose to work at home because I was too lazy to go find another job outside of the home. I chose to quit my job outside of the home (making more money than I do now!) so that I could do this instead.
Also, I am starting school this year to get another job outside of the home. I guess when I am balancing all this and going to school, I will still be lazy and unprofessional to you! Whatever....
Like I've said before, people chose professions for all kinds of reasons. Staying at home was my reason. So what?! That does not mean you do your job any better than me or the rest of us. That is all in your head, which is a very big one at that!
first thing I would do - sm
Pay off all bills and set up college funds and trusts for my kids and any grandkids I may get in the forthcoming years.
Then I would be a little more conservative and buy a fixer upper and turn it into my dream home. Who needs to build another house when there are so many beautiful old neglected homes out there?!
The next thing I would do is buy this old building in town that used to be a school and renovate it into a group home for unwed mothers/fathers, dormitory style so I could help them build futures for themselves and their children.
That would be my dream.
Maybe she needs to go out and do her thing? nm
x
And another thing-
I would be willing to bet she does not show up on Dancing with the Stars. When I heard she was supposed to be on there, I thought nah, don’t think so.
I know that this is not the same thing..sm
but I had a kitty cat who had diabetes. with unchecked diabetes, the kidneys are at risk. my kitty started kidney failure and had alot of the same symptoms you described. She would not eat or drink, because she did not want to p because it hurt to p. She became so severely dehydrated, I had to put her down. she was 13 years old. Has your doggie been checked for diabetes?? It is just a thought and I am not trying to scare you, but I would have started forcing fluids before this, with your doggie. Good luck. I hate it when pets get sick and you don't know how to help them! Also, has she been checked for the parvoux (sp) virus??
