In Reply to: Was it rude of my bride friend to register for... - info?
that's how my family does it. we will have several go in together to get an important big item. also, i think when doing registeries a lot of people home and kinda like a shopping spree. they know they will or will not get items, but what's the hurt to put the items on there just in case.

Health Maintenance Resources
You can order on line -shipped to your door, no commitment - it was developed for morbidly obese people pre gastric bypass - to get some pounds off before they could have surgery or to determine if they for sure could not lose weight. Food is really good and filling. Check different sites - prices vary. Best site I have found is in Texas. I was really appalled at the taste of Nutrisystem - absolutely had to throw things away.
This wont help. No money or resources to put an

I am in hopes to call CPS
It is family and if they find out what I did there will be a big to do. I hate standing by watching kids and the handicapped get treated so shamefully and it has taken a tole on them over the years. The 12 yo and 9 yo definitelly has psychiatric problems. I hope it can be undone. I hope the 2 yo can get out of it before it grows up with so many problems. Bad part is, it is the parents that are paying for the crap that aunt has done. They even admitted that it was aunt that messed up the 12 year old.
As someone who hopes to adopt some day..
Thank you for the great ideas!
Boy, I bet DH hopes it's the yard work! LOL

Yes, dad has the same hopes as you. Ah yes, Mother raised us right.
Too bad all women are not as perfect as she (rest her soul), nor as fortunate to have had such a loving and dedicated, albeit rough-around-the edges, husband.
Don't want to get your hopes up in case I am wrong
but I am almost positive I read that Friday Night Lights will return next season but probably not until October or later. I too love this show!
But I am posting this at the request of the parents to get Leigh's story out in hopes that anothe
Jen, I felt strange too but the parents requested it. Thank you for reading the post. Hopefully we can help them in some small way by passing the word.

2 teens, but only 1 ticket (so far!)
My oldest DS got one his first year of college where was going to school. It was an expensive lesson for him, but one he learned well.
$500-700 -- depends on what the big ticket item is! - nm

Traffic ticket/warrant
I do not know what state you are in but in Oregon if you would have shown up and shown that you got your renewal they cut the fine well below half. Also the warrant that they issue will only be enforced if they happen to stop you. They have more pressing matters to go after than somewhat with a warrant out for not paying a traffic ticket. Also it takes them 3 days to process it and get it out to the cops on patrol. They will revoke your driver's license which costs more to reinstate than the actual ticket. We also get the opportunity to "write in" and still plead not guility or mail in copies that you did "fix" the problem. They also give you 30 days to pay from the time of appearance. So I guess I am glad that I live in Oregon afterall. And how I know all of this is that my nephew is Captain of Police here. Too bad you live in such a state. It will get better, keep after the child support. Good luck.
Also Nizoral shampoo might be just the ticket.
I like the OTC one, but there is also a Rx one with the same active ingredient. I just didn't like it as well.
The OTC one is expensive, like $12 a bottle, but it's great stuff.
Glad I could help!! Walking is the ticket..sm
and it doesn't have to be FAST walking - just consistent walking everyday and everyday doing a tad more in distance.....
I also wrote down what I ate during those 6 weeks and tried to keep everything under 1000 calories per day....but I forgot to protect my teeth/gums...and bottom gums receded (early)...take minerals/vitamins if you do this!!!
Good luck hon...*S* It can be done!
Then buy a 2nd plane ticket for it to ride next to her, lol.
nm
Duct Tape is the ticket......
 and leave it on for days..........do not remove it daily
On the occasions when I but a lottery ticket I say a
prayer that God will allow me to some day have the money to do the work I want to do with animals. They are the dearest things to my heart, each one of them. God Bless all who contribute and do what they can!!! Keep dreaming . . maybe one day. 
Does your hubby know you use him as a meal ticket?
Or is he just arm-candy to you? And, yes, I've no doubt once he sees through your thinly-veiled greed, he'll be off and running with the first pretty young thing that doesn't expect him to hand her everything on a silver platter.
I didn't even realize women like you still existed in the real world.
But then...you're not actually living in the real world, are you?
BTW, my hubby is a good deal younger than I am; however, he knows he's here because I love him, NOT for what he can HAND me.
You're so insipid, yet somehow so comical. Interesting combination!
Just recently sold a ticket on Stubhub
I am seasoned ticket holder for the Fox Theater in Atlanta's Theater Under the Stars and one of the shows was Stomp. I sure did not want to see that so I sold a 2nd row seat from the stage that sold for $46.00 for $25.00. Not trying to make a profit, just did not want to use it.
Did it ever cross your mind that HE'S using YOU as a meal ticket?
So now it's you that has more money than the younger hubby. Hmmmm...food for thought, but perhaps I was off base earlier and it is, in fact, YOU that is the meal ticket in that power-couple relationship of yours.
Better stick with that guy for as long as he'll tolerate you. Today's younger guys like their women independent and enjoy EQUAL relationships.
If I were you, I'd peek into his cell phone on occasion. Ya know, just check the incoming and outgoing call lists. He might already be shopping around for a less expensive model, something that requires less upkeep and doesn't consider community property 'hers'.
closing a pool Help!
I just purchased a home with an above ground pool and have no clue as to how to close it for the season. First of all, the water is a yucky green because I didn't add shock (I think?). Is that what I need to do? 
You should go to the pool store SM
We have lived in a house with a pool for about 10 years, in the ground not above. If you take a sample of your water to the pool store, they will test your water for free. They will tell you exactly what chemicals you need and exactly how to close your pool. If you close it correctly, opening in the spring will be a breeze. If you don't, it will be a nightmare.

Pool heaters
Google for In The Swim. They have AGP heaters. They even have those "floating solar" ones, but your pool is maybe too large for that. I think the cost is modest to run the heaters and certainly worth the cost if you want to swim. It is cold here too and we count the days until it becomes unfrozen, which is much too late for me!
Are you 2 the last to pool your money, probably so
Hubby and I both signed onto each other's accounts, but he has his bills he pays each month and I have others. When large bills come, we half those so it works well for us both. I do not balance my checkbook, though, and my daughter who is accountant just grits her teeth but it works for me. One good thing I found out, whenwe did our taxes the person told me next year just to send in about $2500 and that should be fine with out deductions and what hubby pays in. Sounds good to me! I have traveling on my mind. I would hate and I mean hate to let hubby know just how much I do spend.
Pool chlorine
We've always used chlorine and never had any problems. We've had our pool for ten years. The kids have already been in ours three times so far. A record for our area. Usually it's not warm enough to swim until sometime in June.
At my apt. we have a robot that cleans the pool ! (nm)
..
Does anyone have any experience with pool heaters? sm
We put in a 24 foot round above ground pool last spring, but didnt use it much until towards the end of summer because the water was to darn cold! We have a solar cover, but it does not help much on the cooler nights. We live in NE Ohio. I am looking into getting some kind of heater to heat up the water so we can start swimming in June when we get it opened up. I was thinking of an electric heater but dont want to run up the electric bill to much. Any suggestions or ideas?? Thanks!
Easter. The pool or the beach?

Geez, it's gotten HOT today anybody have a pool???
Well, we just got back from getting pool supplies. This is our third summer, we used Baquacil the first 2 years, dh said we were switching to chlorine this year because it is so much cheaper! Anybody done this before, I wanted to keep the Baquacil because of the grandbabies, but was just wondering about the switching.. any & all info appreciated.. tia.. gina
1 In 5 Adults Uses Pool As Toilet
Officials: Swallowing Urine-Contaminated Water Isn't Harmful
PHOENIX -- A new study by the Water Quality and Health Council found that nearly one in five adults admits to urinating in a swimming pool instead of using the toilet.
Eight in 10 adults are convinced their fellow swimmers are guilty of such a crime, the study said.
Nevertheless, health officials insist that swimming in and even swallowing urine-contaminated water isn't harmful to someone's health.
"Urine in itself has been purified through a whole variety of bodily processes so that it's removed a lot of the contaminants in it," said Don Herrington from the Arizona Health Department.
Swimmers should be more concerned about swallowing parasites than swallowing urine, officials said.
Last summer, dozens of swimmers in the Phoenix area got sick from pool water, forcing the closure of all 29 Phoenix city pools.
The parasite which caused the illnesses, Cryptosporidium, comes from diarrhea.
Phoenix Parks and Recreation spokeswoman Amy Blakeney urged sick swimmers to stay out of the pool.
"People who are sick need to stay home and remain at home for 14 days after they're symptom-free, especially if they have diarrhea," Blakeney said.
Though city pools electronically monitor chlorine levels, the city of Phoenix has begun to require swimmers to shower before they jump in the pool as an extra precaution.
"Taking a shower allows those materials to rinse off and go down as sewage, and then gets a clean body into the pool water, which is what we all want," Blakeney said.

I'm not familiar with the items you used
but I do definitely try to find natural cures if possible. I flatly refuse to take prescription or OTC cough medications. I make my own, because it's so much better for me, and it doesn't contain all those chemicals that wreak havoc on my body. I have and continue to use herbs for various things. I think it's important to know about alternative cures. There may come a day (and it's here for a lot of people) when we won't be able to get prescription meds, or be able to afford them, and we'll need to know how to take care of ourselves for a lot of things.
Engraved items
Anything engraved is always a great gift, photo album, frame, etc. I love getting beautiful keepsakes for my children. Monogramed baby blanket? You'll think of something great! It's the thought that counts anyway. She will cherish whatever you send her.
We do use our bleach for our pool instead of chlorine (cheaper)...
but never knew about peroxide being so useful! I have one bottle for cuts and scrapes for the kids but will have to get more now and put it in a spray bottle! Thanks!
Local pool place for sure. Or even have a service do it the first

He may be....but $300 pool versus a $30,000 truck, and a boat, etc., etc.? nm

some of the items you mentioned for a child--sm
to me, are also too restrictive. Cribs are for *infants* who are not mobile, as well as bassinets. Play pens and baby gates are for toddlers and are mostly for the parents, who do not wish to be *inconvenienced* by supervising their off spring. Puppies are pretty much mobile from the day they are born. If you begin training them early, you would not need to be afraid to leave them unsupervised if you needed to be gone. They would already know. Besides, since when are *material things* like carpeting and furniture more important than a living breathing being?? If a person does not want to take the time to supervise either a puppy OR a child, then they should not have either one. This is just my opinion. I am entitled to feel the way I do, as are you. Crate your dog if you wish too. Barricade your children, as you do not wish to be *inconvenienced* by their presence. Watch your tv, drink your drinks, have your fun, and call yourselves good parents and tell yourselves, and others, that you do these things for the *safety* of the children and the pets, and for the protection of your prized material belongings. It all comes down to selfishness. JMO
What items do you mean? I am thinking of doing this myselt -sm
bankruptcy is not an option for me; but I am drowning. I know what every cc you put in your can never use again; i.e. close account, which is fine with me. What I will try to do is get a new cc with a very low limit and use that for things like gas only; try to rebuild my credit with that one, as I consolidate the other 3 I have maxed out as I had to live off them for about 10 months during a very rough patch, racked up quite a bill unfortunately and just cannot get out from under. ---Any one have a particular service they were happy with?
Depends on if parts can be used with other items I have.

Second-hand and generic items
I am shopping for second-hand items at resale shops and buying only sale and generic items at the grocery store. I don't drive as much or as far as I used to to shop. I am working more hours, although for less pay as an MT.
I think the the crooks (politicians) who put the American public in this position should be prosecuted.

Children are blessings! They are not luxury items!!!
I bargain hunt for clearance items
and resell them on ebay for a small profit. I also go to estate sales to find used hard to find stuff and resell on ebay. I usually stock pile the stuff I know are good sellers and sell them around Thanksgiving time and before Christmas. I made just over $400 last Christmas. It was a very nice amount and made our Christmas very nice. I also have an online store on ioffer.com that I sell some of the stuff.

stay away from C items, coffee, cola, and chocolate...
Actually the people with money buy all the nonsense items for their kids
and the others without money are all trying to keep up with the Joneses and of course getting in debt because of it because heaven-forbid their kid doesn't have what everyone else has. How could they ever be seen in public without the gel french manicure nails, cell phone, ipod, blackberry, brand name jeans, etc., etc., etc. What a world we live in where the children now rule! lol Pathetic. The other day I saw a woman and her maybe 15 year old, all highlighted hair and all, at the nail place, and unfortunatley I got stuck in the seat between the two of them. Well the kids nails alone cost her 65.00. lol! But the best was the kid must have not liked something and was mouthing something to her mom, and then the mom was like whispering, what, honey, what is it, what is wrong, do you not like something, honey, do you want a design, tell me, what is wrong? what is it? And I'm in between them, right? I wanted to say please excuse me while I get up to throw up. LOL. It is just amazing to me.
bought/sold couple hundred items
i've had a good experience both ways. it is time consuming, communicating with customer/feedback/packaging items/mailing, etc. Like you, i thought of doing same. but you really have to have something special/in demand to market, or maybe do the drop-ship method where you don't even keep the inventory yourself to make a real business venture. I don't think it's any more of a golden goose than other business ventures however.
