Love this idea!
Thanks so much!  We need 7 ideas so still interested in hearing other ideas as well.
Love you idea too. Yours is even more
special because this is something you made yourself. Our first Christmas here my kids and I mad cranberry pumpkin bread (miniture loaves) for everyone in the neighborhood. At the time there were about 15 houses, now there are over 50. One muslim family asked if there was meat in it (we did put the receipe with the loaf). An oriental family asked "How much" when my dauther handed it to them. Fun way to get to know your neighbors.
I love the idea of uniforms...sm
Of course, I would not be saying that at age 14 and 16, though! I think that kids can be individuals outside of the schools. It would make the "poor" kids and "rich" kids all look the same. It would take away distractions in high schools (and I WAS one of those girls who wore....revealing outfits!). This is just my opinion. I know a lot of people disagree, especially kids and I see their point of view too. I do, however, think it would better for the actual schooling part of school.
I LOVE the gas card idea...nm

LOVE it! Great idea.
Desperate times call for desperate measures. Love your solution.
This is too cool! I had no idea (and I LOVE Otto!) nm

Love your idea, 1 smart broad!

I love the bumbper sticker idea!! nm

That's a creative idea. I'd love to have a listen, but I'd never have the nerve to ask! n

OP


I Love Sally's! Good idea to get the savings card for $5.00
also. You pretty much make it back and-then-some on just a couple of purchases. And they are not expensive to start, I don't think. MUCH cheaper than the stuff at the salons where they can charge $20 for a bottle of shampoo! I have had much success with finding products you can't get anywhere else, such as salon-strength reconstructors/deep conditioning products the salons "won't" sell you, and charge you 15.00 or so for one application, because they want you to keep coming back for them! Cha-ching! Salons are truly such a rip off. At Sally's, I'm like a kid in a candy store! ;)
Love the doggie car-seat idea - you are a good mommy :)
I'm so sorry about your sister's dogs.
Love the "family tree" idea! My lists inside.........
Let's see........

Jewerly for girls - name bracelets and necklaces.

Name poems and frames (still get updated requests for these and will be on my list this year). Those kind that say J is for so and so, etc.

Rice socks one year.

Candles and lotions. I bought the kits to do this with at Hobby Lobby and let my kids help make them.

Keepsake boxes. I got the copy paper boxes that are very sturdy, wrapped in material, and decorated the box and top. Makes really good keepsake boxes and you could also do several sized boxes too.

Photo albums - also bought plain and decorated with material, ribbons, buttons, etc. Picture frames could be done the same way.

One year we made stones for the grandparents. Bought the kits at Hobby Lobby and decorated with stones and engraved sayings on them. You could do hand prints or just about anything. For my mom, we made memory stones of my sister, my grandmother, and my grandfather. We just put one that said "in loving memory of" and the other's with their names on them. She put them in her rose garden.
I LOVE love love shallots! I use them in everything that calls for an onion and/or garlic. Mmmmmm. n

American Idol - Love, love, love Adam!!!
I think he'll make it til the end! At least I hope so!


BAD idea! Terribly BAD idea!

This could not be worse of any idea.  People need to worry about their own bodies, not what other women do!  This is supposed to be the land of the free, but people are trying to turn it into the "the land of the free as long as you agree with me."  It's a medical procedure and no one else's business period!  For some women, it's a hard enough decision to make without having other people tell them how they should do it! 


If you do not believe in abortion...great, don't have one, but mind your own business and leave other people alone that need/want to have one!  Again, it's none of your business what someone else does. 


I don't have any children and don't want any.  While I always use birth control, that's not 100%, and if it failed, I certainly would get an abortion without hesitation.   I much rather have women get abortions than bring a child into the world that they don't want and mistreat or that they can't pay for and stick ME with paying for it!  There are enough leaches out there having kid after kid they can't pay for, and we tax payers are footing the bill.  Enough is enough already! 


How about all you people that but your nose into other people's business and don't want these women to have abortions pay my share of taxes too since you don't mind paying for all of these unwanted children! 


My niece had a Yorkie, the love of her life! We all loved her so. Lots of love in store for you.

Love movie "A Christmas Story" when dogs eat the turkey and they go out for Chinese. We love d
nm
She's sweet. I think she's gorgeous. Love her hair. Love her sm
smile. I wish I looked that great! I don't even come close, so who am I do judge? I admire beauty greatly in other women...I envy them!
sweet....love the heart charm, he's got love.

God bless you on your path, all love begins with self-love, so you are really on your way.....sm
We should have less time putting needless labels on things, paying attention to dividing lines, and pratice more love, understanding, and humiility....we will all have things to answer for, no one is perfect, but I believe we are all precious and loved by the Lord, who knows all hearts, and has infinitely more compassion and mercy than ANY of us can comprehend. Be happy and take care of yourself, sexuality is such a small part of who we are in this world, but you have to be happy and at peace.
I love the animal channel, really love it and
my sweetie and I both watch but I absolutely, even if I know nature and the balance of, want to see small animals being killed and eaten and so forth. I know it happens but I either change the station or pick up the paper and read or find another way so I don’t watch. Also watch Discovery, love animals and love those shows!
I love you! hahaha I love your response! You can come over here sm
and kick my butt the next time I "allow" my husband to make me feel crap for whatever reason - which there seems to be many - he wouldn't complain if I made more money than him because his lazy behind wants to stay home and do nothing all day except to play golf. He tells me all the time, "when are you going to own your MT business so I can golf all day."

But, he is very mean, also. He hurts my feelings constantly and doesn't even care. He makes me drive around in his truck with bald tires and I don't like doing that for fear of a blow out and he'll just tell me, "well, don't go anywhere then." We have the money in the bank to get new tires, but he won't get them.

I love your comment, though!

And for all of you who will say, "well, leave the jerk!" It isn't that easy. We have 3 boys and I would be homeless. I only make 300 every 2 weeks MTing. We have a lovely home with a lot of space and besides him living here, the kids and I LOVE it and love each other so much.
Well, I LOVE a challenge too, Would love to debate this one day with you! sm
haha

Seriously, I was a staunch atheist for 20+ years. It's funny, though. I, too, believe that we are all electrical energies and that energy doesn't "die" and so, theoretically, where does your "electricity" go when you die, i.e., your spirit? I believe that "energy" within us is our spirit life - and that must go somewhere, right? It doesn't just go into the groun - which is what I thought for so long.

Anyways, when I learned about our "energy" and how it must go somewhere, I was really testing the waters of Christianity up to that point. After hearing about that, I was convinced that there must be an afterlife. I believe we go either of 2 places.

Anyways, I love ALL people of all religions, regardless of what I "think" or "believe." I don't think any less of you because of your beliefs! If I were to believe in a God who forgave me and loved me in my mut and mire, who am I to judge and criticize those who think differently of me?

I've always liked you no matter what your philosophy on life was....
Love people who love dogs.

I love the dressing and I love lemon pie..sm
My mom's lemon pie that is. I also love this dessert called Texas Delight or some people call it different things but is is layers of chocolate pudding and cream cheese and whipped cream. The food is my favorite part besides the watching my son open presents on x-mas.
Young love/older love
I think it has a lot to do with your age and his. I married hubby at age 59 and he was 49. Best thing I ever did but say if you are 30 and he is 20, hmmm in that case might not be so workable. What are the ages here?
Give her love, love, love and if she...
doesn't want medicine - don't force it. Does she like to be stroked or does she like her belly rubbed? You better than anyone else know how to make her feel loved. Give her that. If her times comes before Monday, all the better for you and her. She'll die peacefully in her loving home. But, if not, be prepared to give her the last loving gesture you can - if it's time to, than let her go.

I had to put my 13 year old Lab down two months ago. It is one of the hardest things to do. But, you'll know when it's time. My dog, Shadow, told me he was done, tired, beat. He sent me the message quite clearly. But, still I waited, not for him but for me! Finally I "heard: him and did what needed to be done. I sobbed for hours and then just suddenly stopped, I realized I was crying for me - not for him! He had had a wonderful loving home with "mom and dad and brother". He was old and tired and wanted to rest. He deserved that rest! So, it's done. Yeah, I'm still sad. But I know that it was the right thing to do. And, yeah, call me nuts if you want - I know that when it's my time that Shadow will come running, knock me over, sit down on my chest and lick me silly!

Now, I'll go and give my cat lots of love and remember the fun I had with Shadow. My thoughts are with you - make the best of the time you have with your loved one's, be them human or furry! My thoughts are with you.
One more idea...

 


I had a friend whose father got her a diamond ring.  It was a heart made out of diamonds, from Daddy to daughter.  She treasured that.  It was her first "real" jewelry as far as something with precious stones, and it meant a lot that it was from her Dad.  If you're a Christian family, as this family was, it could also have the same meaning it had for this family, which was basically a promise from the father to be there for his daughter and a promise from the daughter to remain sexually pure.  I don't remember exactly how they did this, I know they took her out to dinner just the mom and the dad and the Sweet Sixteen-er, but she talked about it for years. 


I just remember thinking my dad would NEVER have done something so sweet.  But I digress.   


My son's idea
He wants to make fry bread and call it Native American fry bread so that it would be an N food.

Still searching for something fun with a Thanksgiving theme.
Another idea...
We have 3 golden retrievers, 2 of which are female that we bred. We used to use (dogs are now fixed) little girls underwear and cut a hole for their tail. We then used regular panty liners inside those. It was much cheaper and actually worked better than the things you buy at the pet stores. Both dogs got used to them and usually managed to keep them on most of the time. My human daughters also got a kick out of picking out the underwear..lol.

Word of warning though...don't ever keep her outside when she is in heat if you don't want puppies. We had a Rotweiller go through 2 fences and and a shed door to get to our female.

Good luck!
Here's an idea......sm
My husband cannot stand light when sleeping....it all started really in collge when he would put a pillow over his face to block out roommates being up, etc. After watching him put a pillow over his eyes for 20 years, I finally made him get an eye mask...which he now has been wearing for a number of years and likes it a lot. They are soft, doesn't bother him to wear, and now I can read with the light on and not watch him nearly smother himself with a pillow!!
I like this idea...
Just a thin board I can prop on the sill and attach a hook at the top to keep it flush (so no dreaded light comes through). Plus I can just keep it under the curtain and no need to attach fabric since the curtain is dark enough (of course) not to show through.
And you're welcome with yours. That's why I decided to ask you guys - more people, more ideas.
An idea:-)
Can he go on line and track his banking that way so he doesn't have that problem again? I check my account every day, especially before and after going to the store for anything, to see where I am plus use Quicken software to see my budget for the weeks ahead. That way he will always know what's in there, what was taken out, and keep better track of it. He can add in his Quicken or MS Money on what day his cable company takes their money out for every month and will see how much that leaves him that week. That's terrible how much money he lost on that. Sorry to hear that!
My DH has no idea how I can even do it - sm
he knows it is hard, though he does complain I don't make enough, but that is another issue (I goof off too much--procrastinating). Sit your husband down, put headphones on him and tell him, okay, so you do it and let me know how you do. He will shut up really fast!
Here's an idea. Why not something other than a K then!
I just always hated that, all names with the same letter or that rhyme. Ugh.
It's an idea, but...
That would be punishing the kid for the dad's behavior.

 Hey Mammamt,


I love your idea and the way you were able to express the joy of your son coming into your lives....I've been planting trees for siimlar reasons for years.  You're a loving and compassionate person.

Had an idea
Kids were wanting to go to Blockbuster which got me started thinking. Obviously cannot give movies or movie cards but how about movie CANDY and popcorn (crunch and munch or cracker jack or those 3-flavors-in-a-tin so popular this time of year?)!! And I thought about hitting the dollar store - I get stuff for my kids there - the little simple games, notepads and pencils/pens... You guys have gotten me inspired. THANK!
You know, that's not such a bad idea.

business, and they do all right in regards to pay.  I also have a friend that just does local (rich) or what I call (rich) people with big homes, and she gets to use their vacation homes for nothing.  She does a great job and is a nice person.  Word of mouth has been her way of getting new clients. 


I am in agreement with the "in front of the computer" thing, but I need a few more years with the kids.  However, I have thought of working part-time in a local healthcare facility and doing this part-time again from home when my kids are just a tad older.  I'm almost there though.


Does anyone have any idea what happens
when you end up pregnant and are in-between insurances/jobs??  If you don't go to the doctor with your existing insurance that is running out in a month, will your new insurance pick  you up, or better yet be obligated to pick you up, when it goes into effect, after you are 3 MO preg??  Curious, and surprised.  We make too much $$ to go on any kind of state plan, and didn't know if any new insurance when a person is already 3 mo preg would consider it "preexisting."  Any input appreciated!!!! 
Idea
If you are a walker or runner, you could completely fix this dog's boredom by making friends with the people and get permission to walk their dog. You could offer to do it for a fee if you think they have more $ than time. Or if you need an excuse so they won't feel like you are criticizing them, you could say it would make you feel safer to have a dog with you.

If you are not a walker, consider the huge benefits to your back and legs. It could make a huge positive impact on your health, too.

If the dog is a puller, the quickest fix I've found is a prong collar. Maybe they have one.
just trying to get a better idea
multiple marriages possibly? i THINK you mentioned you worked 3-4 jobs at a time that sort of thing, maybe he feels abandoned? when was the last time you talked to him? does he have contact with his father?

i realize they are adults but even adults have hurts that sometimes stem from their childhoods.

i know my mother, though in the same home, was totally absent emotionally. she worked several jobs at a time too and i suppose i still have some resentment about that... never having her to talk to. i had the materialistic things i needed but not the motherly love i needed. i try very hard to be there for my children... suppose that would be part of the reason i work from home...

i have a relationship with my mother and i will always love her but i will admit there are times when i'm short with her. sometimes i think she has selective memory as far as the facts of my childhood. i believe she thinks everything was perfect and she was the best. lol.

she has never apologized about ANYTHING..... suppose that would be part of her denial. just wondered if things may be similar between you and your children.

you may very well just have ungrateful children or maybe they have hurts that need healed. :)

i hope you made amends with your son. very sad to me.
I do not know if he is, still, have no idea
A mother does not deserve abuse from him or from anyone else. I do not have in my own home. I went to his home to give him a gold watch my father wanted him to have, a family Bible and had several watches I did not want and offered him those. I basically was ambushed and could not believe his anger. This was in 2005. I do not know if he is still on this, did not ask them, have not asked since. He is a grown man. He has a wife and grown children now. I do not tell him what to do nor do I try to put myself in their lives. If I were ashamed of my actions, I have no problem saying I was wrong. I hope for his family's sake he is off drugs. I talk with his wife occasionally - she called recently to say sorry for the loss of my longtime pet.
Just an idea....sm

Little league fund raiser...candy bars $1.00 ...What we did was stand inside the vestibule to the bank on Saturday morning...Ya know they're going in to get money and weren't gonna pass up 2 boys with mitts filled with candy and deny a contribuion to the home team.      


Now, if we were in an office setting we'd all be selling each other wrapping paper, candles, candy or cookies on the behalf of our daughters or sons on a regular basis, or hit up your family and friends. 


Who in their right mind would let their daughter or son walk up to a stranger's door in this day and age? 


The good ol' days of 50 cent cookies (that I sold as well door-to-door), magazine sales, and the black and white TV are long gone.

Idea
"I do not think I would be able to get anyone for what I pay her . . . " Maybe she wouldn't have to steal if you paid her a decent wage, and why do you need a housekeeper if it is just you and hubs?
an idea that may help....

I am not sure if you can do this feasibly, but if you have been communicating with this person, the police can track his computer ID number and find out where he is.  If you have any kind of conversation in an email, IM, or even through the site, they can track his computer.


Another suggestion may be to report this to craiglist, as this is where you found him and they will have info on him to give to the authorities. 


I hope this helps you. 


 


Another idea you might consider - sm
When my grandfather passed away, my grandmother was in the same situation as your dad.

Might sound crazy but this is what we did.

Gma and Gpa had a three bedroom home and I had two kids. I talked it over with Gma and we moved in with her temporarily. Her wishes were the same. She wanted to die in her home, her bed.

She was still fairly active but she did have some significant health issues and memory issues. Her safety was a big concern.

The kids weren't too thrilled at first but it was probably the best 2 years of their childhood. Gma always had a story or something to talk about and we all really re-connected.

After Gma passed, we moved back into our home. We did have an occasional home weekend when my aunt was in town to visit. That way they could have a more personal visit and we had a little time to ourselves too.

It worked out well for us. Might not be the same for everyone but I sure was glad we could give her what she wanted.
I have no idea.
I just went to elementary school with the girl and then she moved so I have no idea where she went from there. As far as I knew she was not under any treatment or anything. Most of the other kids just thought she was "weird." Aside from that I have only transcribed one report for such (several years ago) and it did not go into much detail. Sorry I do not have any more information for you.
I had no idea
xxxx
I have no idea whether the mom

had any issues with the fact that she was being deployed.  There was nothing mentioned in the social history about caregiver issues, psychosocial stressors, etc.  So, I'm not saying she wanted to stay and was denied.  I guess I was just questioning what the maternity policy is in the service dept.  I guess I just thought when you had a baby in the military, you were given the option of being discharged or being stationed in the USA.  Since your hubs is in the Air Force (bless him by the way), could you tell me what the maternity policy is for female officers?  Are they only allotted 6 or 12 weeks (for a healthy newborn delivery)?  Can they request to be stationed in the USA for a period of time after that?


I have kids, and I just can't imagine being separated from them at such a young age.  Of course, any age would be difficult, but an infant is so dependent on her mom.  Wow - what an eye opener and definitely some food for thought today.


another idea
Actually according to top scientists the earth IS in a cooling age right now. He and other scientiest (many) say we're on our way to an ice age.

Anyway...I have another recipe....So so simple and so good.

1 reg size package of cream cheese and one can of chile (with or without beans - your choice).

Mix them and heat til hot and bubbly. MMMMMMMMMMM I can eat the whole thing by myself.
