You'd be smart not to bother getting newborn size.

The baby would be out of them in about 2 weeks from what I remember, so much better to get the next size up.

newborn diapers
The "newborn" aren't for weight they are for a cut out for the umbilical cord to heal. So the weights are the same for newborn and size one.
How long does a newborn typically
stay in newborn size diapers? My church wants to give a new couple who have been coming with their brand new baby a gift of diapers because they don't need anything else, and I was asked to get newborn size. The baby will be 4 weeks old this Sunday. He's not an extra tiny baby. He looked like he was about 7 lb. I think we should get the next size up. I would hate for her to be stuck with a bunch of diapers she can't use.
My youngest turns 13 on Saturday and I honestly can't remember these things!
these don't really bother me
the KY ads drive me insane! I mean, they border on pornographic, especially these *Valentine's night* ones...We know what it's for, we don't need a demo!
It would not bother me at all.
I have no problem with anyone's religion as long as they do not attempt to make others conform to their religious beliefs.
would this bother you?
I googled the phone number for my son's daycare and found a profile of a worker there. In her pictures she is holding a rather large gun and her husband is smoking something that does not appear to be a cigarette. Her personal life should be her own but this bothers me somehow. Look for yourself and then give me your hones opinion:

Would it bother you?
for your child's teacher to call him/her Sweety or Honey?
Does it bother you and, if so, why?
Don't bother getting into this field
your not going to make any money working for a company. The only way to make money is to own a business, and just starting out can be very expensive.
There are many of us trying to get out of this field for various reasons - mainly the BS that companies give us.
Wouldn't bother me at all.
In fact, I know a single guy who will not date women with children. Don't blame him.
but why do you bother to read them???

They don't seem to bother my plants
at all. They do, however, ravage my birdfeeders this time of year and throughout the winter. I used to wage war against them but I've softened in my old age. Now I figure they need to eat and survive too so I just let them be.
Doesn't bother me
For some women it takes more than soap and water. Not a biggie.
Doesn't bother me at all either
Some people need it. It's really no big deal.
I am so curious to know does it bother you ..sm
like everyday? I mean do you think what your child you put up for adoption is like and does it get to you a lot? I have often wondered what parents must go through who have done that. I know it must be very hard. I can't imagine.
The bussing would bother me too...sm
The school district I live in is so cash-strapped that they make the 9-12 kids ride the city bus. They have 30 day passes with student pricing. The K-8 kids all ride the school busses unless you live within a mile of the school of course. My DH takes our son to school which starts at 9:15 and gets out at 4:00. He is home by 4:30.
The state of Michigan requires 180 days of school. He has the usual summer vacation days, but if they exceed the number of "snow days" then those get tacked on at the end of the year. But usually they get out the first week of June. We have one week for spring break and 2 weeks at Christmas. We also have the usual assortment of in-service meetings etc., but no 2 hour delays and definitely no every Friday in May off.
If I were you, I would start going to your school board meetings and start making your opinionknown. The more noise you make, the better. And you might just find other people in the same boat as you are. In my city, the school board term is 2 years then they have to run again. There have also been successful recall elections too. Also check to see if your school district has a citizen liason office. We do and they do an excellent job when they are needed. Work your way up the pecking order. If you don't get satisfaction at the city level, move up to the state superintendent of schools. There is always somebody higher up in the food chain that can help you. You just have to be persistent.
Good luck.

Just my size!
I'm not advertising for the name brand... just stating a fact 
I don't mind underwires, however. I do tend to look for "full coverage"... I don't wear skimpy tops and if I did I wouldn't want it to look like a butt on my chest! 
Anyway, with full coverage, underwire or not, I've never had a problem falling out, ever. So, that would be my only suggestion. I don't really have a preferred brand, just a style preference. I've got everything from Olga/Warner to Victorias Secret to Walmart and K-mart specials. If it fits, covers and I think it's pretty, I get it!
you were smart to do that.
I am so glad I posted. Even though I declined on that rat hole, I need all this for future referance.
Thanks. You guys are great.
You are smart
Although so many posters are telling this is normal, I was disturbed by your original post because you seemed alarmed at his tone of voice. Of course kids say hateful things to each other all the time, but the fact that a 10yo would say this to his mother, not in the heat of anger directed his sister, tolls the alarm bell.
It is normal for siblings to fight, but there is also plenty of abuse within families which would never be tolerated if a stranger were to do. I've seen people whose children have thrown scissors, at each, stuck forks in a sibling's tongue, broken bones on purpose, and they parents have actually tolerated this.
You sound a great mom. You recognize his perfectionism which he needs to learn to recognize and deal with as soon as possible. The very best to you and your family.
My 15 yo son is 6Ƌ and in a size
16 shoe, and getting ready for another growth spurt. I can always tell because for days he complains his legs hurt and then all of a sudden he is taller and shoes hurt his feet. Buying shoes for him is soooo much fun because when he finds shoes he likes, they usually go up to 13. Found a store that carries them up to size 20 now. I feel like I am going boat shopping when I take him shoe shopping. I was thinking of writing Shaq for leftover shoes....lol. My 13 yo daughter is 5ƍ and in a 9. Here I am at 5ƈ and a size 6 shoe. Daughter is looking into modeling but son is too tall for it they say.
What size is this?
My sister-in-law weighs about 300 pounds and is about 5 feet, 6 inches tall. I would like to buy her a nice pull over, but I do not know her size and I don't want to ask. Does anyone out there know what size this would be. I am guessing at the weight compared to my husband's (her brother) which I already know. What's the favorite store for plus sizes? I saw Lane Bryant was closing some stores, but are there any other good stores?
Plus size
I would think if she weighs 300 lbs and is 5' 6" tall, she wears a size 30, or 4X. If she's a little over 300 lbs, I'd get a size 32 or 5X.
I would also try to shop at Catherine's, CJ Banks Woman or Lane Bryant. They're better quality and last longer than the things I've gotten at Fashion Bug or any of the others. I do buy underpants and plain t-shirts at Walmart.
Catherine's is my personal favorite for both the styles and the prices.
If you're not 100% sure of her size, a gift certificate would be a safe way to go.
Oh look, they're having an "up to 70% off sale" right now!

wouldn't bother me...maybe he is just suddenly==sm
into aromatherapy. maybe he just discovered that certain scents make him feel good, as we all do. If you are worried, just ASK him. Probably nothing. Don't make a mountain out of a molehill and keep suspicious mind to yourself. If he thinks you suspect something, he may give you something to be suspicious of. good luck to you.
If you don't have a suggestion, don't bother replying.
As parents, we all have rights to name our child whatever we like. If we want to name them all starting with the same letter, that is their prerogative. When someone asks for something in particular, if you don't have any suggestions, don't respond at all. Why does there have to be someone like this for almost every post?
Don't bother with a cleaning service...
Save your money. We had a cleaning service twice a month for a year, and the day they cleaned the house, it looked wonderful, but the day after...yikes! Like it never happened. We have 3 kids and 2 dogs, and it's honestly like shoveling in a snow storm! So my husband and I took the job back and do our own cleaning. We teach the kids to clean their rooms, otherwise it won't get vacuumed. I clean the 3 bathrooms on my day off, which really doesn't take too much time if I spot clean in between. We just keep after the kids to pick up after themselves. I always have a to do list in my head for myself every weekend and feel good when I actually get them done! I know that's strange, but I do:-) Just take one day at a time, think about what you really want taken care of, and it'll get done. Don't sweat it, but I wouldn't throw money at a service to do it. Your husband has to work as a team with you. If he likes organization so much, then he can handle that part of the duties. I never grocery shop or really cook...so my husband took that over from the beginning. We chose the things we like to do and then get them done. Who cares who does them? Good luck!
But....these are good and harmless. Won't bother you a bit! Quite sm
friendly, actually. Heard they wouldn't hurt you - just keep away and let them do their jobs.
I've actually fainted from arachnophobia before, so believe me when I say this.
Don't let it bother yoyu Hayseed
I love reading your posts. They always make me laugh. These people have no sense of humor. They must work to hard and leave no time to joke and keep things light. P.S. By the way, I also have that fascination.
Anybody have stress bother them and then get sick?
Ever since I have been stressed over a certain situation in transcription, and my family's budget I have become extremely tired and it is really hard to get my line count. Every day as the pressure builds regarding this my line count gets lower, no matter how hard I try. Anybody in this situation or ever been, I'd appreciate advice. I am trying stress busters, exercising, reading books, taking time to go outside, but nothing is working.
Every time I sit down to type, I just get more and more worried and I can't produce! It is like my heart is going on strike against the position I have because there are problems with the situation and it makes my money situation even worse. My husband is very understanding but this has got to stop. I want to feel good about my job again and my production. If you say get another job, I understand about that, but what about until the other job starts, what do I do? Arrrggggg. I know life is no picnic but it could at least provide piece of mind so I can do my job! Thanks in advance for any and every suggestion or advice. It will be well appreciated
Worn off letters do not bother me at all, I

If this is so boring - why bother? they need posters over there can't you tell
by this thread?
As I said if you cannot play nice don't bother - sm
to comment.....I know I did a lot of things wrong...don't need salt poured in my wounds.
Sorry to bother you again, what are tthe measurements?...nm

My kids are smart. sm
Haysees I have always liked reading your posts, but don't critisize my children that you know nothing about. My husband and I are very active in our children's lives and that is how I know they have some pretty wonderful teachers.
Plus-size dresses
My friend is getting married in August and I need to find a dress quickly! Can anyone recommend a designer with a line of plus-size bridesmaid dresses? I'll require a size 14 or 16 depending on the fit (probably 14).
Also, I realize this is late and I may have to buy "off the rack" or via internet versus using a bridal shop. Any recommendations in the Philadelphia/So. Jersey area?
Noticed your plus-size??
I hate to be the one to tell you but the average size now in the states is a 14. I in no way consider that plus. Oh, to be a 14 again. See shoulda checked before hand- now that is not politically correct because it makes us hefty girls feel sad!
My DH had one on his shoulder about that size
He had to have it removed and did well afterwards.
What smart oddballs you have.
They sound really fun. I might still have a cat if she'd have used the toilet ... instead of my bed!
Grr.
She is one smart cookie
You can't fool her! I'm glad she's eating. That is always a good sign. Hope you both have a good day.
My 17 yo DS wears a size 14...
my DH and 19 yo DS wear size 12. There are lots of big-footed men in my house, and I'm constantly tripping over their enormous shoes.
You can't do anything to keep their feet from getting bigger. Just get to know places like DSW and Zappos!
My 8 y/o is a size 5, but she's SHORT...
for her age! I really hope she grows into her feet soon, looks like she has clown feet :) She's only 4 ft 3 in., but has some of the biggest feet for her age.
I wasn't trying to be smart, I was
actually confused.
Smart girl
You are right on track. Right now don't worry about divorce or not. Take advantage of NOW while you can and get to school. Medical transcription has no where to go now. There is no bright future for it where you can "advance your career." I too am in a marriage I would leave if I could, but I want to be smart about it and get that education first.
smart comments
Me, too. Makes me want to jump in and blast them back! No reason for it.
You mean in clothing size? 12 to 14? nm

Smart mouths
Chances are the parents have smart mouths as well, or they have no backbones.
I would have sent the kid home last night when he condescended to you at the end of the first argument. If he is almost 11 and hasn't learned to respect other people's rules, he probably will never learn this lesson. Attitudes are pretty well set by that age and if he gets away with that kind of behavior at home, he's going to have a tough row to hoe in the real world.
Congrats to you! I would not have that kid in my house again if I were you and I would your son and that boy know the reason why.
I think he is smart by admitting it now.

Some women are too smart
They're brainwashed, and may never wise up. Nowhere in the Bible does it condone this type of lifestyle. Some lecherous man declared himself a prophet and wrote his own book - and that's what they base their religion on, not the Bible.
Try going up or down in band size.
For example, try a 34 DD or a 38 C. When you go up or down in band size, it changes the size of the cups. I ended up having to do that and you'd be surprised how different the cup sizes are when you adjust the band size.
That bathroom's about the same size as
