No...old XB works in new 360 but new doesn't work in old XB.
Hope that answers your question.
Oxycise!! 15 min a day - works great (sm)
about $30 - do a Google on it.
Sticky paws works great!
We also got all brand new living room furniture last year, and we have 3 cats. We went to Petco (you can get it at any pet store), and they have a product called Sticky Paws. It is a double-sided clear tape that you put on the edges of the furniture, where cats tend to scratch the most, and when they go to scratch, they hate the sticky feeling on their paws and never go near it again! We have been using it for a year since we got our furniture, and our cats haven't once tried to scratch it since putting the sticky paws on!
Abreva. Works great, but it doesn't really
make the ones there go away. It'll stop new ones from coming out and will stop current ones from getting any bigger. You have to use it consistently though when you have a break out.
I use Rogaine for wormen 2% and it works great
for me.
It is recommended for persons who have high blood pressure, as Rogaine lowers the blood pressure. This was the first usage of Rogaine to lower the blood pressure. As secondary effect was discovered that people who took minoxidil (main ingredient in Rogaine)
started to grow more hair.
But one has to have a good heart to use this.
All precautions and possible side effects are printed in the pamphlet that comes with the bottle, it is a liquid spray, sprayed on the scalp, twice a day.
i've had mine for almost three years, still works great sm
i leave my monitor on all the time, but it has a "sleep mode" after so long. it's a Dell. actually the whole computer system has been great!
NeilMed Sinus Rinse works great if you can do it on a regular basis.nm.
Vacuum cleaner works great for me! Love those midair catches.

Try Benadryl, the generic is cheap. Works great, not habit-forming. NM

Awesome!!! Keep up the great work! nm

You know that would work - great idea!! (sm)
Actually saying that in a joking way fits both of our personalities perfectly - very perceptive of you, thanks! I have to tell you though, that was sooo embarassing so we may not go back to that particular store together!!LOL
I am amazingly surprised by it!! It really does work great (sm)
and I have barely had to clean the shower. I would buy all those in the spray bottles, but let's face it, no one but me is actually going to spray the shower in this house and half the time I forget! I can actually get the kids to press the button on this when they are done in the shower and it gives you a few beeps before it starts off, so they make a game out of it.
We just moved into this house a fever months ago and it is even beginning to remove the crud that I could not get off from the previous owner and it is literally starting to shine - and I am only on the second bottle. This is really one product I can recommend, especially if you hate cleaning the shower as much as I do!
P.S. When the beeps go off, don't watch to see what it does without goggles! :)
I see them using them in the clothing stores. Work great! I imagine you'd

Fine Homebuilding is a GREAT magazine, even if you don't plan to do all the work yourself. (sm)
I would think that you two could be your own general contractors. IMHO they're usually pretty worthless and it's difficult to find one who will be as committed to the project as you will be. Good luck though. Start with plumbing, electrical, structural stuff, then go from there.
power nap

power
We never lost power - had a scary period of time for about an hour - but no damage here. . two bordering counties did have a lot of damage - we were lucky. .
about DD. . I too spent money I really did not have while she was in high school. . She does seem to appreciate things but my future son-in-law's parents just have so much money and they are very controlling - and I have to admit, I am a little jealous. . DD is going this weekend to bridal fair with her future MIL. . I have to work and it is 2 hours from where I live. . but it is always that way... she is always doing things with them... my fiance says they have my DD where they want her . . they will keep her close and I will gradually be cut off. . I really don't think that will happen because DD & I went through a lot together, but you never know.
how do you keep your will power??
You are so lucky you like raw veggies. I dont at all! :(
I am a carb freak! Luckily my metabolism is still high but im nearing my 30s and no children yet so im sure after all that it will go downhill dramatically...
Honestly I would rather have bread or pasta for a dessert than sugary stuff. im not trying to say i dont like dessert because i DO but im in love with bread products, crackers... etc.
goodness...
good for you though!!! i know i need a diet change but i dont have that self control yet!
It doesn't matter "where you stand." What works for you is fine. What works for me is fine.
Comparing ourselves as to frequency is ridiculous.
How we cut our power bill...sm
The bill arrived yesterday and it was $40 less than it usually is when compared to any summer month last year. Here's how we did this:
- I enforced people turning off lights when they leave rooms.
- We switched the light bulbs in the living room and bedroom to the energy saving energystar rated bulbs.
- When the washing machine died we replaced it with an energy saving one.
I was suprised that the power bill went down this month... especially with it begin summer and having the A/C running.
To help the kids remember to turn off the lights when they leave a room and to not leave water running that is not being used I gave them the incentive that if the utility bills came in what our usual budget is then they can have the excess money for extra activities this summer. That has sure gotten their attention!
You are a power of example by helping sm
When I was younger, I would not only cry, sometimes I would not attend or attend and not sleep for days. I think being in the MT business made me realize how short life is. I am amazed that now I look at death in a different way. I cannot believe how I have changed. Most of my friends were brought up to wear black, look sad, cry a lot. I was brought up to avoid it, stay away from wakes and funerals; so could not handle it. Thanks to transcribing so many autopsies, horrible situations, illnesses, educational seminars on death and dying, etc., I am finally able to celebrate life. I do have others now not understanding why I do not cry. It's a miracle to me that I don't have to act that way anymore. I think with age and experience, I have matured. I have a friend who barely worked outside the home. Her Mom died in July and she did not put up a tree, send cards, etc., this Christmas as she is still in mourning officially. I lost my younger sister, put an angel out front, white lights, etc. I did the same for my parents, lots of white lights. I do believe now in celebrating life. I spent the days before my father's funeral preparing a "program" for his funeral which was beautiful. I included my whole family in the funeral, chose the music, etc. This would not have been possible in my younger years. My SIL was confrontational when she saw me at work during the time we were awaiting the funeral (it was over a holiday). I told her I was t preparing for the funeral. There will be some whose family tradition is to cry, wear black, shut out the whole world for 30 days, that's their way. I am so happy that I now have a (what I consider) healthier attitude toward death. I cannot believe the change in my attitude. Perhaps we all celebrate life differently. I, for one, am happy I look at things differently. When people cry, mourn, carry on, it's probably their tradition and it will continue as this is what they are used to. They are not wrong to do so. My DIL's family all wear solid black and God forbid anyone even wear a white blouse to a funeral, it is considered disrespectful! All I know is, I love the new me, I am much happier today now that I have a different attitude. I hope people celebrate my life, not stop living. I am writing my own obit, short and sweet and will probably plan my own funeral instead of leaving that task to my kids. I celebrate the life and spirt left behind, but do not disrespect those who continue to wear black and cry, as that's the only way they know how to mourn and it's not wrong. We're all different, it takes time and sometimes traditions will never change in some cultures, they are entitled to their actions and opinions, it took me a long time to change but I am much healthier and happier now. All of this is IMHO, of course. You are doing your best in your own way, good job, we need the "doers" in times of grief as well as the mourners. I would rather be a doer and feel better "doing."
power trippin
I told her we could make it a $5 dollar challenge for everyone like a game, but no it has to be a regular present, just at her budget.
The real truth is that last year I went to the fanciest store in the mall and bought her daughter a set of coffee cups she wanted. She was so jealous and mortified that I was making her look bad to her kid. She did not know they were on sale for $2 a set. She thought I was showing off. I thought was buying a present that was requested!
Good for you, now send some of your Will-power my way please. nm

Good for the school! More power to them!
Someone has got to teach the what-comes-up-must-come-down and action/opposite reaction and other such lessons.
power outage yesterday
Will someone explain how it is that a power plant shutting down in Miami yesterday caused 3 million people across the state of Florida including myself to lose power 100s of miles away? I'm literally like 270 miles away and had no power for 2 hours. Since I'm an IC, no power equals no work equals no money! Urggh so frustrating how often we lose power in Florida!
Maybe it was the main power station for
the state, everything may have run through it.
Such as how much nuclear fire-power you have....

USA needs more women in power to balance things
I don't think women's hormones are a reason not to vote for them. Men (cough Bush cough) tend to have little-man syndrome, or little something else syndrome and like to start big wars to prove something imo. "Me strong man. Me powerful." Their egos are just as dangerous as any hormone fluctuations women may have.
I think we need a more equal balance of men and women in power. Together we can see every angle of a situation. Just like with raising children. Ideally it is best to have both a mother and a father for the child so that it will have the best of both worlds, and I think the same goes for our country. (nothing against single parents - I was one for a few years, but it was difficult going it alone, and I have the utmost respect for single parents. They have the hardest job on Earth!)
If you do something like that make sure you have a generator as a source of power.
will eventually run out and you will have no way to recharge it. In the event of an emergency you would be out of luck unless you have a generator to provide power to the outlets in your home. We have one landline phone with absolutely no features on it. It is simply a basic phone line connected to a regular telephone that plugs directly to the phone line. It is not a phone that requires electricity. A basic phone line with absolutely no extra features is inexpensive.
Power Outage @ Traffic Intersection
We met during a power failure. He was running a generator to keep the traffic lights at a railroad crossing working (worked for road commission), and I was at my second job doing transcription and trying to find out when the power would be on so I could do my reports and go home. Walked up to the intersection and asked him. He said he would called electric company in about a half hour and check back then. 90 degree heat and humid after hellacious thunderstorms knocked the power out all over the city. I came back and took him a bottle of water, a cookie, and a bag of chips. He said thanks and said it would be about one more hour. He watched me walked back to the building and when the power was on came and told my boss how nice I was and checked the fuse box. Came back two nights later with flowers and asked me out. The rest is history . . . Married five years and still going strong.
The woman and their babies often died - knowledge is power-

Yes - does not work! Hoax if you ask me. MetaboLife doesn't work either.
The only thing that works for me is exercise and eating correctly! No quick fix, unfortunately.
Ahh, the power of confession. For each confession posted here sm
know that you are all one step closer to overcoming or changing your confession into something positive. The first step to change is confessing there is a problem. You have brought your issue to the light - and once exposed you can now change it. Whether or not you want to change it, you probably will change it for the sake of conscience.
Except for the sake of popping zits on the backs of pigs. Blech!
Oh, I confess: I will exaggerate to make a story appear better than it actually is, I don't like my looks at all, I don't like my in-laws one single bit, and I, too, have mildew in my shower!
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!

Let's see if this works

WW Works
I am a successful WW-er, having lost over 75 pounds. WW allows you to have all your favorites, but in a sensible fashion. There is no food category that is not allowed. That's the key for me. WW trains you in how to eat with healthier food choices and it is definitely a lifestyle change as regards food choices. Of course, as with any weight loss program, you cannot return to eating whatever you want in unlimited amounts once you have lost your weight. You must continue to take the tools you were taught and use them each and every day with your food selections. I would definitely recommend attending meetings, though, as accountability is always helpful in staying the course.
it works for me! LOL. (nm)

Nothing works better than
hanging out in the sun to dry, so fresh smelling, great for sheets also.
What works for my little one...
We always alternating Tylenol and Motrin every four hours. This works better than giving either one by itself. I put him in a tee shirt and his underwear and use cool compresses on his head. Hope your little one is better soon!
what works for me
is medicine, Maxalt.
This works for me!
No but I know what works well sm
I used green tea patches in the past. They don't sell them anymore (probably because it was too good and you'd have to get an Rx), but you can still find them at sites on the internet. Also Hoodia is really awesome. I am taking Hoodia 2 a day and the pounds are just flying off. It is something from cactus discovered that the natives take in the jungle for stamina and to keep fit. It is not expensive at all. I got mine on e bay but found it and also green tea pills at Walmart not expensive. I have had more energy and feel better since I have been taking these 2 things and total cost for the 2 was no more than 25 bucks for the month. Sorry I don't know about the product you asked about but I wanted to suggest to you some cool things. Good luck!
Try T-Gel. Works for us.
..
This works!
I did the same. It only took one summer (last year) of doing this and then we slowly tapered off the chore chart. I would "forget" to print it off the computer from time to time. Since then I no longer have to ask but when I do it is already done, just had to get in the habit of doing it without question, I think. My child is like OPs that he really is a great kid but for some reason brushing teeth was a nightmare twice a day every day. The only difference in our allowance chart was that for each item completed (without being asked or questioned) my child would get 25 cents - totaled at the end of the week. He still had to do everything, it was just a matter of initiative and no arguments on his part. I think max would be $5 a week or something like that. I had it calculated out so I new there was a limit. Truth be told, he asked for more than $5 of stuff every time we went to the store (and that was another fight) so this did double-duty in that if we went to the store he had to use his own money. Amazing how picky kids get when its their money.
Yes, but I am not too sure how that works.
Is that like a second morgage?
Do you barrow against your house at a lower APR?
what works for me -sm
I get a massage once a week NO MATTER WHAT! I have been going to the same lady for 5 years, who gives me a break on the price. For 30 mins it is $25, which is a bargain and SO worth it. I also schedule lunch every Friday with a friend of mine and go nearly no matter what else. You have got to make time for yourself and be selfish about it. Best wishes! :-)
If you have MS Works - sm
Use the spreadsheet program and throw it in there. Then I think it's data/sort and go from there.
Yes, please let me know how it works out(sm)
The bedroom is still quite cold at night depending on the temperature outside when you close the door. Hubby never cared because as a child, his room didn't have heat either, so he was used to it, but now that he's older, he's getting to be a little bit too much to handle.
He tried a gas wall heater but it used to much fuel. We tried an Eden Pure, but it died before the winter was over.
He only needs the room around 60 so he cut a hole in the wall above the door and put a fan in to draw the heat into his room but the fan is so noisy, it's hard to get a good night's sleep.
It works!
When mine were smaller they had more fun unwrapping and playing with the boxes.
They are all between 12 and 17 now. I told them to count their blessings if they get Christmas dinner this year let alone presents. This year kinda stinks, but I am sure they will get a few things they each want. I always figure it out.
