Only he does not think it should be used for something the kids can tear up.  He thinks we should use it for something else, maybe something to store blankets in or maybe his deer hunting gear.  So I guess I did pretty well at that G-sale.  I even bought Little Touch Leap Frog book with all the cartridges for $18

Nothing like the old show...very hip, very edgy, very sexy.  I'm sure they'll be showing reruns....maybe already are...haven't sat down to watch TV in what feels like forever!  (although I do have a few Good Eats in my DVR so I can skip commercials and just watch that oh-so-edible Alton Brown!)  

Yes, go to the Dollar Store, buy all kinds, then buy a couple rolls of aluminum foil to line pans.. Bake in oven as often as possible, bread crumbs and a little non-fat oil go a long way! After using once, throw foil away, use new foil to line pan, use again. After pan falls apart, make the decision whether to buy another one for a buck!  Worried about veggies? Do the same, steam veggies in pan lined with foil, follow directions as above. Save money, clean bill of health. Who needs Cephalon?? Be good to yourself, you work, Lady! Well, just kidding but I do this sometimes when I need a break and it works, really!!! I heard Cephalon and T-Fall are good. But how do I know? I like throw away better,too busy for all that other stuff. Good luck to you. Each time I open my cupboard door, I get hit in the head. Rather it be lightweight aluminum than a great big real pan. Happy Turkey Day. Using one of those dollar store bought ones for that. It has a really cool double strength bottom and I can throw it away after. To each his/her own, depends on the situation and whether or not you might get caught!!

La Crueset was too heavy for me as is cast iron plus cast iron is bad for people with hepatitis problem(s) so I tend to stay away from cast iron (puts off iron in the food and hepatitis C feeds on iron) as I have a family member with this particular hepatitis. 

My hands are also very bad after transcribing for 30+ years - so I tend to want nonaluminum lighter cookware which would be something like Farberware or Revereware if they still make the latter.  *lol*

Like an idio t, i thought it was my imagination that stuff wasn't getting cold enough or frozen hard enough in my fridge/freezer so i haven't said anything to the manager of our townhous complex.  around Wedesday I noticed my cool whip wasn't frozen. Now my "frozen" fish sticks are softer and easy to break.  Are they safe to eat? what happens if a "keep frozen" food gets thawed out? Is it still safe to eat?? The office isn't open until Monday and he probably won't get here until Monday afternoon at the earliest so what do I do with all my food in the meantime??

How can you do that? Wouldn't it have to be an awfully big freezer? Regardless, what a horrible way to die.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Police say a woman accidentally fell into her freezer and died before a friend found her and called authorities.

Colorado Springs Sgt. Tim Hogan says a woman called police Saturday morning to report her friend was dead in the freezer. Hogan says that an initial investigation makes it appear the woman fell into the freezer, then got trapped and suffocated before she could get out.

Foul play is not suspected. The woman was not immediately identified, and police didn't say how long the woman had been dead in the freezer before her friend found her.

Maybe it's the toothpaste.  Some of it tastes yucky to a kid or the mint may be too strong or brushing could be irritating his gums.  Let him pick a child's toothpaste and soft toothbrush and see if that helps.  As for baths,  I had to be dragged kicking and screaming to the tub.  What mom didn't know was that my older sister kept sneaking in and pulling the plug, telling me I was going to go down the drain. She said if I told mom she would call the adoption agency and tell them to take me back (I wasn't adopted, but at age 4 I didn't know that).  Maybe he saw something on TV that scared him.   Some shows are pretty graphic (news too). I recall one show where a lady was brushing her teeth and blood started pouring from the faucet. Try letting him sit in a dry tub with a bucket of water for a sponge bath.  Sit down and talk with the kid (not talk to) and assure him/her that if there is something going on you can help.
