My grandson was just walking across the yard and his foot gave way and went down to his waist. There are other areas, some large where the ground appears to have sunk somewhat. They live in southeast georgia. If you have experienced this, please share.

Sink holes
Thank you for your response. My daughter is concerned cause not only because of the hole my grandson fell in, but also a large area in front of her detached garage has sunk a good bit. She is afraid if someone comes out they may deem the property unstable and have to leave. What do people do, particularly if they carry a mortgage. Homeowners insurance usually covers the structure and not the ground it sits on.
sink holes
We had a cistern open up in our backyard from alot of rain one year. It was an old well that had been covered up. Had no idea it was there
It has been 10 years since my mom's sink holes
she had to sell it to a horse breeder/stable instead of dividing it into tracks and selling individual home sites due to the sink holes. Fortunately they were several acres away from any structures and have not recurred in the last 10 years. One parcel has recently been sold near the first one that opened. That neighbor happens to be on the county commission and resides over the real estate zonings and gave permission for the new owner to be a home she felt would "blend" with her homes and golf course. I would certainly have someone look into it as there you don't know what is happening underground.

Try RealSimple.com. This is a marvelous website for anything you might want to know.
oops. s/b sink OR swim not of

Heck, I can't even keep my sink clean
And I hate shoes. I guess I need to be more dedicated. Just working on my hot spots every day would do me a world of good.
My sink is the only thing I've sm
been able to keep clean. I just can't get back on track. I do MT out of the house 35 hours and do MT part time from home. I really have trouble with piles of papers. I was just reading Flylady's answer to that, keep no paper, so I will have to work on that.
Just wondering how many many MTs follow flylady. Thanks for answering.
By the way, flybabies are followers of flylady.net a really good system to get organized (when you apply it Ü). Sm is see message and NM is no message so you don't waste time opening an empty post.
Black vanity sink
What is it made of? Marble, granite, synthetic? I would go to MarthaStewartLiving.com to look for an answer.
First holes age 10, second age 16 sm
I told her she needed to be old enough to take care of them, keep them clean when she had them done the first time.
My mom did the same thing, except it was her 1st holes - sm
I got my second holes when I was 17 in college, then over the years my mom went and got 2nds, then 3rds, and wore ear cuffs too. My mom was quite a character.
Opinions are like butt holes, everyone has one. (nm)
Anyone else have holes in their pockets? It seems like I can't make enough
money anymore to keep bills paid up. Am I the only one in this shape, sometimes it feels like it.
I think she was 9 or 10, and I got my second holes put in at the same time. Bonding experience! :)

I've worn holes in my keys.
I found a keyboard that I liked and kept it until I was forced to trash it. Who needs letters anyway?
budget busters...patch those holes! =) sm
No, you are NOT the only one...our pockets don't just have holes...
rising costs are ripping GAPING TEARS in our pockets =) But the fact that you're aware of it is a good thing...because you have the ability to mend those tears. I don't know if you use a budget, but if you don't it might help to create one. Having a financial plan and a budget are the "needle and thread" you need to keep your pockets full. (and I bet a LOT of people are just going into more debt rather than adjusting their spending to put a patch on those soaring fuel and food prices.) So...grab your needle and thread...and Happy Sewing...anyone for a Quilting Bee?! =)
Don't worry. Modern houses don't have big holes in the floors and walls. NM

What can we use on the yard for fleas? I got a
cocker spaniel a few months ago to go along with the cats but since the end of June/beginning of July we have been fighting fleas. I'm surrounded by neighbors who both have 2 dogs but their backyard grass is about 3 feet high so now matter how much spraying I do in the yard, the fleas still comes back. I've had the yard and house sprayed a few times this month but the fleas keep coming. We never have a problem with fleas until summer months. I just wish the neighbor would cut his grass more than 3 times a year.
yard work
Did some yard work. My husband mowed the lawn Friday evening. Got delayed for half an hour because I disturbed a yellow jacket nest.
Went to a state park in the p.m. and watched my baby while my husband fished. Didn't catch any as raine poured on us, so we ate at a nearby fish restaurant and got us some good good fried catfish. HHHHmmmmmmm good.
Yard sale
The 4th would be okay if your area gets a lot of traffic. A lot of people "running around" on the holiday weekend. I have known people who did very well on holiday weekends.
Just to warn, clothes don't sell well. Toys, baby items, household items are good sellers. I like to price toward the lower end so that I get rid of it. Those who price high take the risk that the buyer won't bother to "haggle". But you should stand firm if you feel a price is fair, maybe give in if it is getting towards the end of the day.
Have a good one!!!
Having my first yard sale. Any suggestions?
It will be some time in July. Any particular weekend that would be best? Probably not around the 4th because people will be out of town, right?
Have lots of clothes and other stuff. Anything that I haven't used in the last 6 weeks or that was not a gift is going. No more clutter for me!
I've never had a yard sale before. Is there anything I should know? Oh, and I hate to haggle. Should I price to high and take the first offer or just price low and stand firm (who me?). I'm not looking to make a fortune. I just want to get rid of my junk and have a little to show for it.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Camping in the back yard with the kids sm
when they were small. We had the most fun there than anywhere we went. We had big bonfires, cooked grilled cheeses over the fire and just plain fun. We live near the woods so we had the raccoons, etc, just like being at a campground and it was all free! 
Does anyone know how to reset a DVI? I purchased one at a yard sale and *sm*
it did not come with a manual. I am trying to use it for the first time and the dial tone comes up but it is asking for a log in ID. I would also like to purchase a manual if anyone has one. I do believe I can go to the DVI website and ask about purchasing one but that will not help me throughout the weekend in trying to figure out what do do now! Assistance is greatly appreciated!
Yard sale maybe? I have a friend who made $600 in one day
Don't know what it's like wherever you live but in my town yard/garage sales are some people's weekend hobby lol. Get friends to sell stuff too so it is a big one that people will stop at, make the signs big.
hit some yard sales early in the morning
Yard sale! If you have anything in your house you can part with
have a yard sale, or post a cheap ad in those little throw away papers like Pennysaver, NOT the regular newspaper as the ads are too expensive.
Remember that things can be replaced. Good luck!

Buying and planting a tree or shrub in their yard,
something that blooms/flowers so that they can seek comfort every year and it is symbolic too.
That happened to me once... guns drawn out in front yard..
lived in a track house, so houses were real close together. Turns out the single woman living next door who seemed to have no end to her money to buy nice stuff was running a racket out of her house, somehow tapping into computers in warehouses for big companies and having merchandise like applicances and computers sent to people without them having been paid for. FBI surrounded the place, digging in trash, etc. They finally got her and she went to federal prison for a while, then came back and skipped parole and they were back for her again. Weird.
I worked grave yard for years but then my jobs all
disappeared by midnight. This very large company said they needed help late and I always did my work, did all the preop hps, etc., but now I am lucky to get 5 jobs a night. This happened to several others that I know, too. It is simply that the off-shore do it cheaper. I did not get paid a differential, either. I just like that shift, but I also need work, so good bye big company
Also, be careful that little girl/parents don't throw something toxic in your yard sm
for the puppy too eat. Sad, but a lot of sickos out there.
Try ebay, yard sales, Recycled Software or BuyCheapSoftware.com
to find inexpensive software. Also, see if you can find a newer version of MS Works because I think it comes with Word now, or you can buy a standalone version of Word without springing for MS Office.
For that matter, wait until you find a job before worrying about it. Not everybody uses MS Word, and some companies provide their own software for you to use. What about going back to Medware or another company that provides software and/or equipment?

We lived on Riverfront Drive with the river running through the back yard.
I always figured it meant riverfront property or the house was in front of the river. LOL
Yard work, painting kitchen cabinets, sanding and priming
kitchen chairs. This morning went out to breakfast with DH and then ran a couple of errands, have already spread weed and feed in the yard and used weeder killer in other areas, cleaned off the patio, cleaned off the bookcase in the den, recycled some stuff, Freecycled some stuff - busy, busy, busy.
I use round glass lids from old Corningware and other glassware for all my pots. Find 'em at yard

we've lost our sense of community, no more back yard fences, no more coffee klatches
It's the sense of community we miss, and there is some semblance of it here. My son has been online since age 10, and he knows the status of the marriages and pregnancies and jobs and traumas of his gameing friends, from his age on up into the 60s, male and female. They comfort each other, congratulate each other. Ranges from students to cops to medial installers to computer geeks. It's a sense of commnity that has sprung up, but that society doesn't really recognize as REAL yet, it's too new.
Without too much effort?! A good yard sale takes a good deal of effort, IMO.
