12 inches is not deep pocket--sm
12 inches is barely even standard these days. Mine is 21 inches deep. I need 22 inch deep sheets to at least stay on. You shop around and see where you can find that size for under 200 dollars. If you do, let me know!
If you have a Linens&Things nearby, they usually have a 20% coupon off every weekend

I like the ones from Bath and Body called
socks to sleep in. They are so soft and so warm. My feet are also constantly freezing. I wear slippers all winter long. I have some, the brand is "old Friend" and they are leather with sheep skin in them. Your feet do not get sweaty, just toasty warm. I go through a pair every year because I wear them until it is about 70 degrees outside.
These things called batteries...they power your radio. nm

The department you deal with in Michigan for things like this is called "Friend of the Court".
You need to get in touch with your version of this in your state and tell them what is going on and file a form for re-do the visitation agreement. You may even have to see your original divorce attorney. We went through this with my husband's ex-wife and he filed papers to amend the visitation and what they call an "in pro per" form. Which basically is a DIY form. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but you need to get started now to get your ducks in a row.
Have you thought about talking to somebody at the local VA office in your state or city? Those guys are a wealth of information.
Good luck to you.
Sorry, that's "warm bath" but arm bath is okay too LOL
Hope you do well, I'm thinking of you!
Take a deep, deep breath...sm
and slowly exhale. Phoooooooo. Feel a little better? You may have been venting, but you still kept your sense of humor. I do sympathize, though. My brother did not think he needed pain meds after his vision-correction surgery. I kept telling him the anesthetic would wear off. I picked up his meds without him knowing. He was so grateful later that night. Chalk one up for little sis. BTW, I hope your hubby gets better soon.
Bed linens, what am I doing wrong?
Every sheet set I am buying not fitting. The bottom fitted sheet pops up. Recently bought a new king size bed set and wondering if it could be I have the California King. How would I know what I have, do I measure somewhere? I would love for the sheets to stay on overnight!
And you thought you only had to worry about the linens....
Truly disgusting.

I did pay out of pocket for daughter's
college- son did not go and I said should have been on welfare so did not have to work so hard and long like I did. She did not get grants, etc. and it did cost me a lot plus her books.
Admit it that YOU put yuor nephew's and your SIL's inheritance share into your POCKET.
It is me who 'got it' very clearly.
It was not just about the sheets

fitted sheets--sm
I understand what you mean. Measure not only the height of the mattress, but measure the length, as well. California King sets vary in the length, I believe.
I had run into a problem when I bought a queen-sized pillow top. Mine measures 21 inches in height. Try and find oversized fitted sheets for that, which do not cost almost $300! I finally found some at 22 inches and they stay on very well. Prior to that, I had to buy 20 inch sheets and use the elastic clips, which look like garters, across all four corners. Those helped too.
I have turned those sheets every which way
but loose, have about 3 sets and nothing has been working. I am making notes of all these answers and check the mattress out. It is huge and thick so have to get the measuring tape out.
Boy you pay a lot for sheets! - I have a king - sm
that is a 12" thick mattress and I have 3 sets of sheets for the bed, and I know I did not pay more than $40-$50 for my "deep" pocket sheets (I have 2 sets of those) at JC Penney's. Shop around you can still get good quality and not pay through the nose.
Followup to getting sheets to fit
What would I do without all this wonderful information? I took the information about measuring the mattress. I measured the width and length. They were Cal Kings and I had been buying the regular king and kept getting popped during the night with those sheets pulling off. A relief is here! I got Cal King and lo and behold, I have slept for the past 2 nights in perfect bliss. No more pulling away from the corners. Thanks to all for the suggestions!
Maybe dryer sheets between the
pages? That's a lot of dryer sheets.
When I was recently car shopping, looking at used cars, there was only one I sat in and instantly got out of due to that smell. They should Febreze a car before they show it to prospective buyers.
Towels and sheets are the one load
I never use softner sheets on because it seems like there is a waxy coating on them that I don't like. They don't seem as absorbent or clean-feeling. I take my own towels with me when I travel because at people's houses they feel coated with wax, and at hotels they have that fishy odor sometimes, like school gym towels - ugh. I think that smell comes from using bleach but then not drying them thoroughly before stacking. Yuck.
Can you rub fabric softner sheets on it?
I do that with my animals actually to help them with the static in winter. Or a spray bottle with water and some liquid fabric softner squirted over things. Easier and cheaper than 'Static Guard' in a can.
Good luck and congrats on your new furniture! 
bounce dryer sheets?
But, I don't know what it does to the paint...maybe someone else will chime in or maybe Google will have the answer :o)
Vet called before and after surgery, and assistant called this
this afternoon. I cant wait to see her. She has only been gone for 1 day and as one lady stated, the house is empty. Working from home, I have become quite attached to her and her to me. Thanks for all the well wishes and Boo Boo Kitty thanks you too !!
Hummus in a wheat pita pocket is great. Get them off the white bread, white crackers,
s
$300 for SHEETS? Try Wal-Mart, Target, or Ross!
.
fabric softener anyone? Bounce sheets?
so towels do get that musty odor.......but I find fabric softener works REALLY well.......no complaints so far
oh and I use TIDE with bleach (also works on colored clothes) for washing......(but I love the smell of Gain, just think Tide washes better)
Thanks for the idea!! Never thought of the softner sheets! nm

sheets or liquid fabric softener?
do you find that one is better than the other with line drying?
Does anyone have any good links for homeschool sheets for 1st grade? sm
I am now homeschooling my 1st grader, but didn't want to "buy" a cirriculum. I was hoping to find some websites online I could use as kind of a guide and print out some worksheets from. TIA!
I have seen them at Bed, Bath, and Beyond....
or it may be Linens and Things in your area.
What do you use to bath him? - sm
My min-pin was always itching and scratching and rubbing on anything he could. Then the vet told me to use baby shampoo on him, and it worked. Plus I only bath him like every other month or so. Gets a little stinky, but I love him anyways. I don't usually give him a bath until his coat starts to look not so shiny. Seems to have worked so far.
Not until after his bath, LOL.
He just came out of the shelter and I can hardly wait for him to be clean.
But oh does he appreciate belly scritches.
He is such a good boy.
LOL the bath tub
I JUST thought of doing that. I'm sitting here telling myself my husband will think I have completely lost it if he comes home to see I have filled every empty jug in the house with water and the bath tub!!! lol I'm doing it anyway. Glad I'm not the only one to think of that.
We are also in MI. I keep thinking back to the other ice storm we had a few years back and the blackout where there was no gasoline or anything. Scary stuff but I would just like to try to prepare this time around if I can. As soon as I finish up here I'm working off your list. Some really great ideas to catch up laundry, charging batteries, etc. Thanks!
Oh no, now I am in deep......
Hubs out of town, returning tonight. I told him I had bought something really good for him today, some succupnongs and got me some home-grown tomatoes. Well I never thought he would do that but then said how he loves those kind of tomatoes, how many did I get? I lied, yes I did, if I have to eat them all tonight before he gets here. OMG I probably have a good dozen left but I don’t want to share....I did buy him those others, why are men never satisfied?? I am so full right now I do not think I can eat those other 12 just yet.
Have you tried a cool bath. sm
I have also heard rubbing the child down with alcohol helps. Prayers going up for your baby.
Old dog getting stinky - even the day after a bath! (nm)

Bath and Body sm
My DH got me some B/B red leather collection stuff, makeup bag, manicure/pedicure set (awesome) and a little purse which came with Moonlight Path shower gel and body lotion. I already had the overnight bag and the tote. I just can't get enough of that red - I'm a bling, bling girl all the way!!!
Bath and teeth
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.
Why did they say your dog needed a bath?
I just throw my collie mix outside when it rains and maybe take him to the groomer 2 or 3 times a year. If he was rolling around in mud and dead animals, that would be different.
This native NYorker agrees! Nice restaurant meal & clean sheets

I know deep down in my heart that this is wha I WANT to do. But, I'm not sure sm
how difficult it would be to get back into MTing/QAing after a year or so. It took me a long time to get the job I have now (QAing/MTing).
Thanks for your input! Will keep everyone posted. I hate doing QA right now and typing!......ha
Do you need DEEP POCKETS to buy them?

Deep down inside what we all really want is to be.........

Anyone who thinks introverts or shy people are slow or retarded is just ignorant. I'm sorry, but racism is ignorant and judging people without knowing one thing about them is ignorant. This person is double-ignorant.
Can't give you advice, but my son is a lot like your husband. He is incredibly intelligent and the wheels are always turning, he just doesn't spew out every little thing that comes into his head. He listens. He learns.
All I can say to you is thank whomever you supreme being is that you have the pleasure of this darling man in your life. I'm not sure even if you tried to explain his nature that she'd understand. Not to mention she knows everything.
Deep south - only hog I know is as in
pigs.
First, take a deep breath - sm
Yes, the school should have called you, but they did not and you cannot control the actions of others, just your own. You also cannot control whether the other mom calls you to apologize. Should she have? Sure, but again, what you do is NOT necessarily what someone else would do. Set a good example for your son and let him see this for what it is - a small incident in the big scheme of things. He will likely not even remember this in a few months unless you harp on it endlessly. I would definitely let the school know about my displeasure at the events of today, but after that just let it go. These things happen. You cannot protect your son from life.
Deep Freeze !!!
Holy icicles batman ! It is -8 here in New England !
How about where you live?
How did an innocent bubble bath
This discussion the strangest thing I have ever heard in my life! My husband uses body butter from Bath and Body Works, but he's not gay, and he is very, very masculine. He just has dry skin and cares about his appearance. I'd prefer clean and fresh, then nasty, stinky, unkempt with dirty fingernails. I don't think there is anything wrong with a man caring about his appearance. To each his own I guess. 
Rock. Bath or shower?

Pedi. Bath or shower?
I've heard good things and about things about taking prednisone. My mom was on it for SM
for awhile and it made her look so swollen. I sympathize with you.
Deep Purple Dress
Bridesmaid dresses in a deep purple. Not sure if I should go for metallics- gold or silver or stick with black? The wedding is in the afternoon in church and a reception at a golf course. What do you think?
