to do with her death. I've always been very leary about taking diet pills for fear of what it does to your heart. Synthetic medications taken over long periods of time cannot be good for you, which is why I stopped taking them after Metabolife almost took my life 5 years ago. I was on it for about a month and drank a Coke with 2 pills and I literally felt like my heart was going to explode - severe, profuse sweating, palpitations, vomiting.
Anyways, just speculation, but she did use it daily, according to an interview I watched. Poor gal. No more pain for her anymore at least.

No, but I do trim her nails once a month.

What to buy for new baby girl? :-) sm
I do not have kids and have NO idea what new mothers might find useful. I am looking for an online source, so I can have a box shipped to the new mom, who is a very good friend of mine. She has not registered anywhere and is really one of those people who is fun to buy for because she really does not expect gifts, but I know she could really use some things. I know you gals will have some great ideas! TIA!! 
Oh, I am right behind you! My oldest, my baby girl.......sm
just turned 20, she still lives at home and commutes to save money, but she is in college for teaching, I just cannot believe she is out of diapers, let alone out of high school and out of her teen years!! My son, Adam, is graduating this year, turning 18, and while he also will be going to a local college and commuting, and we are very close, along with his girlfriend, he is on his way, too!
That leaves Alex, who is 11, and although he is still a boy, I am already starting to project, because often he stays over a friend's for a sleepover, my son is out with his girl, and my daughter is out with friends or working, back to hubby and me........don't know where time went, but I have such a hard time getting out those baby pictures, seems like yesterday and I remember and want the time back. Doesn't work that way! And yes, all four of us (myself and my siblings) have been extremely close lifelong with my parents, just keep the love and communication open, have lots of get-togethers of you can. I am trying to look forward to being a grandma (although NOT TOO SOON!!). Much love to ya!
Plus we lost our baby-sitter so that makes - sm
it a bit harder to do anything now.....she left her mom's house after a fight and is now at her dad's which is 45 minutes away....so unless we ask the neighbors (most are retired or our age) to watch the kids we are not going anywhere without them....but will probably fall back on our one neighbor who would baby-sit for us a couple times a year, but not on VD day as she is married too. But I doubt the girl will be back as daddy lets her do anything she wants....even sleepovers in the same bed with her boyfriend....the girl is 16, totally nuts. We are all hoping she does not end up pregnant and her mom is beside herself, basically grieving over the "loss" of her daughter. Big mess, and the courts are involved (dad just wants the support money apparently).
I LOVED my Baby Alive when I was a little girl! NM

Congrats to you!! Enjoy that baby girl :-) nm

Your baby girl is a little doll - thanks for sharing. nm

Little girl found was the Caylee baby
Just in
My baby girl graduated high school today!
I didn't cry a bit. I'm saving that for August when I take her to college. I'm so very proud of her - high honor roll all year. What a fine young woman she's become! Just needed to brag a bit!
It is just like drinking Coors light determines you will have a boy baby and Miller Lite a girl. sm
I have heard that actually; however, it is not true.
I did hear that too much Mountain Dew makes one impotent!
Don't know who dreams this stuff up, but I would have to say it is not true at all. My hubby only drinks Coors Light and we have a boy and a girl, go figure! LOL
Yes, they do. 10-month teachers make more than 9-month
teachers. I know that for a fact. One of my sisters was a 9-month, one is a 10-month. They are compensated for working more scheduled hours.
They don't eat the trim.
They have chosen a spot in the middle of her porch, which is all wooden. My dad even tried replacing it with different types of wood. I think they just enjoyed the variety. I think I'm in one of the lowest populated states...Montana. lol
I wouldn't trim it beforehand either.
 But add some pineapple slices with toothpicks and maraschino cherries to that brown sugar and cloves and you've got yourself one goodtastin' ham...
I will trim my wick and see if that works!
x
I wouldn't try to trim it prior to roasting...
That's what keeps the meat nice and moist and adds all that yummy flavor! (course, I'm kind of a fattie from good 'ol home cookin' so take my advice on that with a grain of salt).
Fabric softener makes towels softer, yes, but it also makes them less absorbent. sm
Which is, after all, the function of a towel, absorbency. :-)
Yes, especially if you are on a month-to-month basis
My mother had rental properties and has evicted tenants twice because her daughter (sis) decided she wanted to live there. Those tenants were pretty upset at the time too, because they didn't want to move. A landlord isn't required to have a reason for taking back their property or raising the rent. They will likely give you a good reference since you're been a good tenant.
A year after Katrina, all the landlords on the Gulf Coast decided to double or triple their rent, just because they could. Due to the housing crisis rents are going to continue to rise, because more people are losing their homes and looking for apartments. Its all about supply and demand.
The bright side is that working at home allows you to live "anywhere", so you could see this as an opportunity to move somewhere completely different. That's what I did, and I haven't regretted it.
If it is a month-to-month lease -
If there is no signed lease stating a specific time (1 yr, 2 yr, etc.) then it is implied as a month-to-month least and either the tenant or LL can terminate at any time.
I would look for a place pronto if I was the OP.
And she should get another job pronto too if the one she got ain't paying the bills. No reason to let it go on month after month, paycheck after paycheck, until you are in the street, that is just plain stupid.
If she is getting evicted --- there is more to this story I believe.
I wouldn't trim beforehand either. Just wanted to second the pineapple-brown sugar preparation
toothpicks & maraschino cherries. I place the ham in the center of the pan, do the "diamond" studding with cloves, surround the ham with pineapple slices (have to admit it, I use the ones in heavy syrup),& then off & on sprinkle more brown sugar on top of the ham & pineapples & use a baster to douse the ham with the juices. Hubby had never had a ham prepared that way before let alone with pineapple - now he looks forward to it!! Guess my age and teachings are really showing here :o)
Might be able to use fabric paint on some of the flowers and find a funky trim/border at a

buy every month
Melaleuca products you have to buy 35 products points each month to keep your account. Which is anywhere from $40 a month to whatever you want to buy. You don't necessarily have to work the business part you can earn a check each month without actually signing up any customers. Customers will be put under you by other people and you will be making money off of the products that they buy. That is waht my mother does. She isn't in it for the business she just loves the products and still gets a check each month
$347 per month

Don't go out to eat except maybe once a month.
It's amazing how much money you will save by doing all the cooking yourselves at home and brown-bagging lunch. This includes those $2 cups of coffee here and there every day--really adds up fast!
Keep your goal somewhere in site...literally slapping a picture of your dreamhouse on the fridge or some place you'll be reminded every day of why you are making the sacrifices you are making. Good luck! 
Since you have a month, why don't you
get together and do a pic of the team or even a few and frame it! I'm sure he'd like that. You can even go to one of those machines, have it blown up and have it say something special down below.
Also, they like gift cards to the local convenience store. Everyone could use a gift of "gas" especially when they are volunteers...
Happy sporting! Glad you had a great coach!
Ours is usually between $200-$250 per month.
Our electric company has some of the highest rates in the country...lucky us! Our bills usually go up a bit in the summer from using the air conditioning and running the pump for our pool. Electricity is definitely our highest utility bill!
Don't have your mammo at the end of the month, then.
Or it will hurt. Schedule it when they aren't painful. I've had it before, but I took evening primrose oil capsules for maybe six months. No more trouble.
Won't the be surprised next month
This happened to an older friend of mine. Poor thing couldn't get another policy to save her life, and it wasn't a cosmetic issue, it was like entire siding pieces that flew off of her house. Oh, they and came fixed it, then they dropped her like a bad disease. They'd better be careful. Just a friendly warning... I don't know if I'd let the homeowner's insurance in on that deal, I'd cut my losses and replace the carpet.
TOM = Time of the month (sm )
Was trying to be a little modest - sorry!
Just in Vegas about a month ago
Go there a lot, the Flamingo is catty-corner to the Bellagio where we have stayed the last 2 times there. Know where it is because I went to a show there. Older place, smoky, they have real flamingos out in the back with ducks, etc, been there but not to stay. Toni Braxton headlining there and George Wallce comedian there now. Know what I talk about.
I know, she hasn't been on here in about a month or so
Hope she's okay.
I've had it about a month, it's almost gone (sm)
Dr. gave me an inhaler for the anti-inflammatory properties and a decongestant. I keep debating whether to go back but it is so low grade...I will probably wait another week or so and see if it goes away. Hope you feel better soon.
2- month window
and then there won't even be a way to give a bad rating of the dealer.
Will you come and live with me for a month or so? nm
!
wow you pay 350 a month for a HOUSE?
lucky duck, I pay 465 a month for a rented townhouse
Last month I spent $321 for 3 of us.
It's just DH, 18 year-old son, and I. We live in the Philadelphia area. We generally eat far less meat than most American families, but we aren't vegetarian. My son commutes to a nearby university and works there, as well. He provides his own lunches, and probably only eats breakfast at home half of the time.
Now, if you want to factor in what we pay for the meal plan for our son who lives away at college, well then... that's a whole other story! KA-CHING!
My 10 month old, Starr, does that, too.
I actually have pictures of her sitting in front of the TV in the office watching Animal Planet, Kung Fu Panda, and Transformers. I can see her tracking the action with her head and every once in a while she'll bat at the tv screen with her paw.
It's the cutest thing.
$250 a month is average for us.
We live in a TINY 1-bd condo and pay an average of $250 a month. We don't use heat or air and have quit using our dishwasher and have decreased our hot water usage. We unplug everything we are not using. We have been able to knock about $75 off our bill by doing these few things. Right now the only electricity we use is for our appliances (fridge, stove, etc.), lights only at night and when we absolutely need them, and for the TV and computer. We are seriously looking into solar as soon as we buy our new home as the electric rates here are crazy and can't imagine what it would be if we lived in a larger home.
I did about a month ago. There are other options.
Workin at the Q. Money is real tight.
But there are internet sites like Hulu where you can watch TV shows for free. Also at least I know on NBC who can watch some TV shows on there for free, too. Just about any news channel you can watch recorded news stories and sometimes even live if something major is going on.
Also, I found on YouTube that you can watch shows and movies. They have started putting commercials on them, though (same with Hulu). But who cares, you would have to see them on cable TV, anyway.
There are actually a ton of internet sites. I actually got into watching old *Kojak* reruns on Hulu (I know, but I liked that show back when.) They have a ton of old shows.
There is also Netflix or Redbox - you can get the cheaper options for movies.
I can watch my local news on the internet, too.
So, just seek out what options are out there for you. I figure even if it is only temporary (I have some job interviews this week) I can still watch things on TV but on the internet until things are better.
Honestly though, I will have to think about that because I haven't missed my cable TV not one bit.
Tell him you want $100 a month of that $180 he gets for rent. nm

no tx just 9-month visits to eye specialist...sm
Told me to keep tight control of the sugar and to be seen q.9 months at this special eye institute....seems to have gotten better too over 2 years....hope your goes away soon....
changing your OB in the last month of pregnancy?
I was just wondering if anyone here had any experience with changing your OB in the last month of pregnancy? Or if anyone knows anyone who changed their OB late in pregnancy?
Without going into too many details, my OB was away on a personal emergency this week and her partner was not in the office due to the holiday. I was having some problems this week and I needed an OB on Friday. I called but my OB's office only had a recorded message. There was no answering service. So I stuck it out until Satruday and went to the emergency room at the hospital where I was supposed to be delivering this baby. The Triage Nurse at the hospital was so awful and mean to me that I burst into tears and stormed out of there. She didn't flat out refuse me medical attention, but she gave me such a hard time about being there that she made me feel very uncomfortable, and in so many words she forced me out. She was the nastiest most unprofessional person I have ever dealt with in the healthcare industry. DH agrees.
So now DH and I are totally turned off to that hospital and I don't feel comfortable at all delivering there. Fortunately for us, we have 2 other excellent hopsitals close to our house. The problem is, my OB only delivers out of the hospital where I had this incident. So I was thinking of changing back to my old OB for the end of the pregnancy. He delivered my nephew and my sister said she liked him and had no problems with him. But he has not dealt with me pregnant. I just went to him for 2 annual checkups several years ago, then decided to change over to my current OB because my sisters and friends raved about her.
And it's really been a textbook pregnancy -- no problems with me or the baby. He would just need my records sent to him, and he'd need to know that I will be a scheduled c-section. Really at this point all I need is for someone to go in there and get the baby out for me.
Any advice? Do you think he would refuse my case since I'm 35 weeks already? The whole incident is unfortunate, and I love my OB, but I am so turned off to the hospital that I'd be willing to go with another OB just to be able to deliver out of another hospital where we'll feel comfortable and taken care of.
a month is tooo long.....sm
My Paps are supposed to be back to my doc around a week. The last time I had not heard, so I called and left a message that I wanted the results of my Pap ASAP. I got a call within a couple of hours and the nurse was very apologetic that I had not heard from them. You have been patient long enough! This is your health and being a MT has nothing to do with it....if anything, being an MT makes us more aware of how some docs drag their feet on tests results and how others are very prompt with reporting these. You make that call again and let it be known you want a call today with results.
Is this for 1 month? Just January 2007?

$167/month...breakdown inside....
$60 for cell phone (husband & I are on the plan)
$60 for unlimited long distance phone plan with voice mail and other features in the bundle.
$47 for cable TV.
So true. Everyone should sit in on a class for one month and
hjk
That $6K a month I presume is before taxes - sm
if so, I highly doubt you can afford such an expensive house. My DH makes $70K, I make about $15K; even with the 2 incomes it gets tight, and our mortgage is only $1K a month. However we put about $800 a month into a 401K plan, another $210 a month into a college fund/plan with the state, another $150 a month for our life insurance; what is left to pay bills/buy food after the mortgage is about $1500. Believe me it goes fast. Taxes take a huge chunk, and no we do not get a big refund, maybe $1200 if we are lucky; owed this year for the first time in years. If you can I'd max out at $300K on a house. I am looking forward to when ours is paid off, which will be in about 6 years at the most (10 year mortgage); we also try to make extra principal payments when we can. This is w/o car payments too, can't imagine how we would do it if we had that too; guess I'd work more, the kids would have less stuff which would be a good thing and we'd eat more frugally. Babies are expensive, diapers, formula (not all women can breastfeed or want to), daycare presuming your wife goes back to work if not, then there is no way you can make your mortgage on $2K a month, daycare would be $500 a month probably. What if one of you loses their job, any plan for that? I would want a little less stress myself if I were buying a home with a baby on the way. Find something more affordable, sure it won't have all the bells and whistles but do you really need all that? Remember to ask yourself if you need it or want it. Big difference.
My 23 month old is a live wire lol
I really did not have much of a problem with my 5 yo at this age but man my little one loves to run. I think she thinks it is a game. She will run from me in stores. If I look at anything and I don't have her strapped in a stroller or on that harness she is gone. In church she wants to run all over the sanctuary. I had to take her to a parent/teacher meeting last night in the school cafeteria and she wanted to run all over the place. I did have a harness on her and she is already wise to that and she tried to jerk that thing out of my hand. I told her no so she laid in the floor and yelled.
Anyone have any suggestions.
Another kid question. As stated earlier, we met my 5 yo teacher. She seemed real nice. We got to see dd class room, not as big as the pre-K class room but still pretty nice, looked kid friendly. Some of dd pre-K friends and daycare friends are going to be in her class so it isn't like she doesn't know anyone, but dd bawled and clinged to me. She said she was afraid I was going to leave her there. I said no, but I will Monday. She stayed upset. This is not like her. She went to pre-K last year at the same school and she found her chair, sat down and was ready to get started. This year is a total about face.
The only thing I can think of is...I never took her out of pre-K for any reason unless she was sick of something but last summer when I had some time off I took her out and we went swimming, bowling, shopping. I am thinking that in her mind she thinks if she gets to stay at home she gets to do that stuff. I tell her no that is not what we are going to do. Mom and dad are working and cannot play with you right then but her little 5 yo friends will be there like sue, and Kate and Zach. She is still not satisfied. I tell her if she doesn't go to school the police will get us and she will have to go to a meaner mom and dad. Not satisfied. Is there anything to make this easier?
My 14-month-old has a stuffed up nose....
anyone know of any safe medications I can use or some other remedies to treat her congestion...she woke up last night from it and I just want to make sure she gets a good night's sleep...She isn't cranky just a stuffy nose...I have been using the bulb syringe also...thanks in advance...
I just bought a Rug Doctor last month
The thing cost almost $1000 (I financed it) with a year supply of cleaning fluids, and one of my friends wanted to borrow it. I don't think so!
Same here - closing on house end of next month
and these ideas are great. I did craft projects for Christmas last year and was a bit overwhelmed because I started to late, so this year I'll need to get started earlier. I love the family tree idea, as well. I may have to borrow that one. Thanks!
