Copied this so it is not to "you" just some rules.
Get ready for a big surprise: According to traditional American etiquette, wedding gifts are purely optional. That's why it's uncouth to include any mention of gifts with your invitation—it comes across like you're expecting a gift.

Asking for Monetary Gifts
You’re planning a bridal shower, and let’s face it – the bride and groom have been living together for three years, already accumulating at least two blenders and a toaster oven. What they could really use is some extra cash (they’ve been dying to remodel their bathroom.) However, blatantly asking for specific gifts – monetary or otherwise – is in poor taste. Just imagine an invitation that reads: “I could really use some new shoes – please send me some strappy sandals.” (Just because Carrie Bradshaw got away with it does not make it ok!) What you can do is let guests know if they ask that the bride prefers cash gifts. Send shower invites without registry information; inquiring guests will ask where the couple is registered, presenting a perfect opportunity to respond with the bride’s preference. Some guests will still prefer to give a tangible gift, so the couple should register for a few items. Avoid drawing attention to the cash with a “money tree,” or other cash-displaying gimmick, so guests bringing tangible gifts don’t feel awkward. Simply display all cards and gifts together for the bride to open and acknowledge.

Bottom line? The happy bride-to-be should always remember to feel privileged, not entitled.

Giving Monetary Gifts
You’re sorting through your mail, and to your dismay discover a shower invitation with a cutesy rhyme such as...

…To make it easy for you
and avoid a shopping spree
We thought that we would have instead,
a little money tree…

Although this presents a clear breach of etiquette, it does not justify an uprising of the etiquette police. Pointing out another’s faux pas is just as rude as the original blunder. Here are your options:

Bring a monetary gift – If you choose to participate with a cash donation, give whatever you feel comfortable giving. The shower host will start the tree off for guests by tying a bill or small envelope on the tree, and guests will follow suit. There is usually no way to tell who gave what amount. In this instance, bring a card separate from the cash for the bride.

Bring a tangible gift – I say this with caution, because you don’t want to appear as if you’re protesting the shower theme. However, if you’ve put a lot of thought into selecting something memorable for the bride, take pride in presenting her with a thoughtful gift to acknowledge her upcoming nuptials.

I'd really like to read your son's story. Are you sure that's the right site?
Try this site!

I use this site
Vacationstogo.com and I got my trip last year thru Kitty. I only went on the land to Alaska and it was a wonderful time, part by tour bus and part by train. I in younger years went all over Mexico, Europe and the Caribbean but had traveling companion (daughter) then. Now she is grown and wants to do her own vacations and me also. I hope never to get too old to travel. Bon voyage!
cant they set their site to

private and you cant view it without being approved by them?


but if your son is college age...well, he is pretty much on his own isnt he? or he should be.  why stir up crap for yourself?  what if you find something you dont approve of...what are you going to do...tell him you were snooping and what the heck is he doing???

Here's a site that may help.........

Here is a web site.

http://www.dogsbite.org/blog-dog-bite-statistics.htm


The problem is that no matter how responsible a dog owner you are, dogs can accidentally escape.   What would happen to an innocent person walking down the street if your dog happened to escape your yard or your house?  One story on this web site is about two little boys who were walking down the road when a pit bull came bounding out of the woods and knocked one of the boys to the ground and latched onto his face.  


No one can ever convince me that this breed has any unique combination of personality traits that make it worth risking innocent human lives to own one.  I think the entire breed should be destroyed.  The evidence of their inherent danger is overwhelming. 


site
I did read the website, but it still doesn't mean anything to me. I still can't be judgmental & say that the whole pitbull breed are killers and I can't say it's the people's fault either, and I can't even sit here & say that every attack that involves a "pitbull" is actually a purebred 100% "pitbull", can you??? Again, UNLESS I was there & heard and witnessed everything that happened, I can't pass judgement in any of the dog attack cases what so ever and I leave that completely up to God. And I know you said previously that you were not passing judgement, but it sure sounds like are you. I just can't do that. I see the broader picture in everything and I leave the judgement up to God. And in everything in life just in general there are always two sides to every story.
I saw that site too....sm
I think when I get another one made I will try it on there. That is a cool site.
if you go to the irs site
there is a section called "where is my refund" and you enter your ss#, what you claimed (head of household, single, married filed separate, etc) and the exact amount of your refund, and it tells you when it should be sent or deposited. It tells you who to contact if it hasn't been received by such-and-such time after the date, at least it did back when I looked in February. I got my check a few days earlier than it stated, but I had mine direct deposited.

hope that helps.
How do you post a pic to a web site?
I have a picture at Snapfish and I would like to just copy and paste it to a web site.  I can't seem to manage it.  I have tried copying the URL to the web site and that works - they can click on the link and go to Snapfish but that is not what I want.  I want the pic to show up within the post of the web site.  I'm sure its simple but I just don't know how to do it.  Can you help?  TIA
eek sorry if I posted a bad site (m)
I was just googling for jewish actors and saw that site had a list that might be helpful for the OP to find who she was looking for. I did see the statement it was not a hate site and didn't really look at anything else on it.

Did not mean to offend anyone.

New Lifestyle, the Chocolate and Chocolate Mint are great. Vanilla is okay, Strawberry not so great. I bit the bullet and ordered 2 months worth, in the past I have gotten 2 weeks worth and alternate with Total Soy shake powder which I get at BJs which is the only way to get a good price on these things in bulk. But the NL shakes are only available from that website unfortunately. Cost about the same as Omnifast, Medifast, etc. but from reports taste a whole lot better.
I haven't done it in a while, but here is a site
that looks pretty good:

http://ezinearticles.com/?Crate-Training-A-Puppy-Or-Adult-Dog&id=87816

Keeping the crate in the family area during the day and your bedroom at night is very important for a puppy. Being alone is distressing, and they don't learn as well when they are stressed about that.

I know you're probably getting tired and frustrated, but you can do this. Good luck.
Can you name the site you looked at? Thanks!

This is the greatest site...
It gives 150 categories. This particular URL is for kids parties. There is a huge list but when you pick individual themes it is broken down to other peoples personal parties and what they did which gives you more ideas. Click on Dress-up party and it breaks down to some 10-y/o parties. Not sure what your child is "in to" but this might be of help.

Just looked at the site sm
and no we just have a regular chainlink fence. We had the fence put up when we moved here 6 years ago for our dogs. Our first cat (11 yrs) was an indoor/outdoor cat before we moved here but was a bit timid so stayed very close to our old house but goes over the fence here all the time.
I have worked on-site, but I'd have
to disagree with the fact that the typists are not taken seriously is due to the fact that it is a work from home position.  The big national companies took this from us.  I was an on-siter, made fairly good money (hourly), will collect a pension, and had all of the benefits (which kept getting more expensive each year).  I make plenty more here from my home being an IC with my own accounts.  Once the hospitals and physicians began to know that there were companies they could call on the phone, dictate, and have no worries, they took them up on it.  Why should they pay benefits when the transcription companies could alleviate this expense.  No worries right?  No vacations to pay.  No sick time to pay.  No workers' compensation claims to pay for carpal tunnel or back injuries.  I still feel that we are professionals.  There are actually work-at-home Moms that are note typists, but have made a nice business for themselves.  The work-at-home thing is a trend for parents to take hold of their finances and still run the household.  I know it is not for everyone, but times are a changing.  This computer age has really taken a hold of the economy.  The media has really taken a hold of our children.  My Mom would tell me about how they show so much more now on TV about the war then they would have ever in the past.  We were saved from all the guts and blood.  Those days are over.  It is a dog-eat-dog world out there now, but I can say there are a lot positives.  Virtual assistants are all the go... enjoy the ride!!!  LOL - Take care! 
I bookmarked this site. Thank you. nm

Can anyone recommend a web site for
a Leek or Leak procedure of the cervix to remove precancerous cells.  My 18yr old niece is having this done next week.  My SIL knew very little about the procedure and when I Google I am not finding much info.  Thanks.
found the site sm
Went to the site mentioned here, showed step by step, sounds wonderful, snug as a bug in a rug, may make one for myself!
I just visited the site
It is really pretty, but kinda pricey. Did you order from their website or can it be bought someplace else that's less expensive?
I love this site

I did not know what I had until I looked at the site
and it has worked for years for me. Having said that, in the process of having tooth implant in upper front, guess my canine tooth, not sure, the 1 next to the big 1 right in front. Very expensive, hope it is worth it. The flipper on bottom, works great!
Thanks for the site, I have already used it twice today. nm

okay, I'm out of the loop, what new site?

don't know "other site," either

Is it some inside secret or something?


Yeah, they definitely needed to lighten up over here big-time!


This site is now being run by new owners
The old owner of this site started her own board. There was a lot of posts about this before the list changed hands. It was also down for a few days.
Thanks for the site! Just what we needed! (nm)

There is also a web site all about bluing .
for Mrs. Stewart's bluing. It is www.mrsstewart.com

There are also some other uses for it that are very intersting. I think my 7-year-old would love to make the salt crystal garden!
Why is this site so slow lately?
I just wondered if anyone else is having a problem even getting into MT Stars.  When I can get it, it is so slow.

for using coupons and stocking up on groceries is www.thegrocerygame.com. It does cost a little to join the web site, but they have done an amazing job at matching coupons with various grocery sales. You can choose your stores, like Kroger, HEB, CVS, etc. I used to do this a long time ago and still have a stock pile of shampoo and toothpaste. I quit for a while, but I think I may need to go back to it. I could get like $300 of groceries for around $90. No lie!
thanks! I love this site also. nm

why i love this site
from your first paragraph! I feel like we are a bunch of invisible sisters/mothers/friends... I love asking advice here even if I get mean or rude answers or people disagreeing because I know everyone has an opinion and it helps me to grow as a person to see other's views. because there are always those that are truly concerned. Great advice and I appreciate it dearly. If you saw my above post... she did write me and I am feeling a lot calmer, but still cautious :) I will let you know how it turns out!
