Gift cert for 1 movie rental at blockbuster (or local video store)
and we wrapped it around an individual pack of microwave popcorn! Loved it!
As I was saying. Your own children. I love mini yorkies and when my kids
are old enough, I will get one from her. I have bought a lot of things for her dogs and do not resent her at all for not coming to see me. I am very emotionally healthy, have a great relationship with Christ as my savior, but actually feel sorry for her that she is missing out on so much because she refuses to leave her dogs. How can that be at all healthy? And you say you don't want to be around your family because they are not dog lovers? So what? Whenever our family gets together we ALL have things that the other person does or doesn't do, but we still love them as PEOPLE. My mom misses out on a lot and I feel for HER.
As a Biblical Christian, we are called to love others (she is too), and reach out to others. It says absolutelly nothing about keeping your family and friends out of your lives because "they don't like your dogs" or because you don't think they love you if they don't accept your dogs. What an enormously selfish way to live your life.
No, but I love that my neighbor's mini yorkie is named ZEUS! haha nm

I love that stuff too
It usually takes everything right off my stove in just a few minute. I also sometimes use that old fashioned stuff that now comes in a creamy liquid formula now called Barkeepers Friend. It even takes pot marks off my sink. I also recently discovered those cool white Magic Erasers Plus and now those three products are all I need except dish soap and window cleaner! Why did they wait so long to invent those Magic Erasers anyway?
me too - I love that stuff.
I go to Target just for that purpose.
LOVE this stuff
I use it mostly on my feet but my fingers too when they start getting chapped. It's a solid lotion that is beeswax based from a place called Beekeeper's Blend.
love wizard of oz stuff; dorothy and tin man. nm

I'll join you!! I agree.made me cry too, love this stuff!

I always love gift cards :-) so I can buy what I want (sm)
at the exchanges I've been to those are always favorites. Like a box of popcorn with a Blockbuster card, a Bath and Body Works card (my favorite!), Target, etc.
I know they are expensive. A pedicure alone
I wanted to get my grandma one but i just can't afford that!!!
I agree. They always love $$ which a gift card is. sm
Especially if you don't know her. But if you have a favorite lotion you use, or something cosmetic, for that amount $20, they really love new, special cosmetics, too.
Anyone else get a foot spa pedicure and end up with a fungal infection?
I am horrified to say the least. I never, ever go get manicures or pedicures because I am aware of all the nasty germs that lurk in places like that, but one of my friends wanted to go and I went with her. I have to say, it was a lot of fun and very relaxing, but when we were leaving I saw their health score framed on the wall. It was an 83!!! That was 4 months ago. The infection is only on my great toe on 1 foot, so for that I am glad. So now it is 3 months of Lamisil and LFTs every month.  Anyone else ever experience this?
My college-age kids love finding stuff at the Goodwill Thrift Store. Go figure! They like their

Heck yeah I'd love a gift certificate to Tractor Supply!
I found a really neat gift there for a horse lover thats only $50. It's a (fake) bush that is cut like a horse and has Christmas lights on it. Very cool (at least I thought so!)
Maybe a personalized saddle pad? You could get someone to embroider his name (or his horses name) on it.
I know this sounds weird, but take him to a salon.
Ask them to help with clothes cuz they'll give him cool tips.... He'll feel really great to have a fresh new look for high school....
$30.00 for haircut.... Upscale salon...
I usually give her 5.00, but 10 if she colors. I love her though and gave her 20.00 at Christmastime.....
Ahhhhh, a day at the salon.......I totally agree
with treating yourself to an upper class salon once in a while. Mine serves refreshments, coffee and even wine/beer. And don't you just love the head massage (something new I am finding), it is no longer just a shampoo, they do a massage on the scalp. It's wonderful. Cheers!
Yes, just like hair salon, restaurant, and facials, etc. nm
Sorry, didn't mean to offend. I meant, at a better salon. Hope that

Bite the bullet and go to good salon for recolor. Leave it in

Maybe a mini-makeover would
give you a confidence boost. Never hurts to go to a highly recommended hair stylist and see what they might suggest to update your look. You could go to one where they do makeup also. Ulta does both.
I love to watch What Not to Wear to see how big a change can be made and to get ideas. Sometimes the difference is huge, and they don't call it "being on the market" for nothing, LOL.
Dell Mini
With a mini, can you do everything that you can do with a laptop?
Anyone remember Mini-Poo? ...
For those who don't know, Mini-Poo was a product to put on your hair to prevent it from getting oily (it was like a talcum poweder). Well, I thought it was a great idea and I was sitting in class in high school one day and my best friend was sitting in back of me. She mentioned how nice my hair looked that day and as she said it she patted the back of my hair and, you guessed it, the Mini-Poo looked like smoke coming out of my hair. She couldn't help but laugh....it was embarrassing as everyone in back of me noticed it.
There are many rescues for mini pinpins
We just purchased a puggle and she has been very gentle, and very smart. Not one accident even in her kennel at night. She is a big baby though and doesn't like to be alone, a lap dog pretty much, but has playful moments too. If you are looking for an indoor dog you might want to check them out or the mini pinpins. Good luck to you, whatever you get, I am a firm believer that like children the "parenting" is what is going to make the difference in a good dog or bad one. :)
Well, for one thing, Cash Cab in a mini-van, not a car.

Why a mini-strike? Keep it up and they will step up

Maybe he had some kind of a mini-stroke or something, and it
Asian chicken mini skewers
Marinate cubed chicken breast, about 2", in Teriyaki sauce with lemon zest overnite in a storage back. Soak wooden (round)toothpicks in water about 30 mintues before skewering. Set oven to 400º. Skewer once piece of chicken per toothpick. Place on lightly sprayed cookie sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes. If you want, heat the left over sauce on the stove for 20 minutes, until reduced. (You must cook it before using it to avoid contamination). Braise chicken skewers with sauce reduction immediately after removing from oven.
mini-dauchsands - maggie and milo
Maggie and Milo. both girls. Last one was Ginger - also a mini-dauchsand - she died at the age of 18.
Mini-marshmallow shooters. Saw them in a catalog (sm)
thought they might be a fun for grandchildren. Will their mom kill me? It says for outdoor fun, but you can imagine they will be shooting them inside at least once. They are pretty good about picking up after themselves though.
ANyone have/used these and tell me if I am going to get in hot water if I buy them some. TIA.
I am planning several long weekends this summer for mini-vacations.
We are going to drive up to the Omaha Zoo for a weekend. We live in rural Missouri north of Kansas City, so it's about a three or four hour drive.
Then, we have a family reunion in southern Missouri and I'm planning a 4-day weekend for that so we can spend some time in the Ozarks.
Then, we will go into Kansas City to Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun.
Then, I'm planning a four-day weekend in Branson.
So I guess we are going to explore our state too!
Plus we have a public pool in our town that the kids spend a lot of time at. Then there is girl scout camp for my daughter. My son will be getting a job this summer as he's 16 now and mom can't afford gas for my car and his car and to pay for his dates all of the time.
As you can see I try to keep my kids as busy as possible! There is nothing worse than bored children when you're trying to work!
The best thing for dirty diapers - mini diaper bags at the dollar store that sm
smell like powder. You get 50 to a bag - they are little blue plastic bags. Tie the poopie up tight in the bag and VOILA! throw it in your trash and no smell!
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!
No, because they always put stuff in the L&F -sm
so why would this time be any different? Plus she probably would have called me at home to tell me that she took them home, she knows I am there 3 nights out of 5. Yes, I hope I am upset over nothing, but I fear that is not the case. Just makes you wonder if you can trust anyone these days.
GPS stuff
As a family we do something called "Geocaching" (geocaching.com) which uses GPSs and coordinates from the internet to do a 21st century treasure hunt. Over the past 5 years we've had both Garmin and Magellan devices . . . if I had an option, I'd choose a Garmin. Our first Magellan let me download maps, etc... which showed me where restaurants, hotels, etc... were, which was a super bonus on vacation with a 1-year-old and a cranky need-food-now mommy! We vacation in Maine, and there are only so many roads, so if you can't read a map, a GPS won't help much ! Have you tried out "www.thegpsstore.com"? They have reviews, etc... that might help you sort out what you need, and what you really don't. Some systems may cost $75, but you won't be able to download maps or anything. However, the big bucks versions might have too many bells and whistles that will just make it more of a hassle than a joy. I'd also suggest a sporting goods store, i.e. Cabellas, Dicks Sporting Goods, EMS (Eastern Mountain Sports) since the salespeople will more likely have a clue about how to use the thing and be able to tell you pros/cons of each system.
Sorry for the ramble . . . hope I didn't confuse the issue even more!
Never, but I look at the stuff on there a lot.
Money is tight right now, so I never bought, but most of the stuff is cool. Some of its just weird - once I saw homemade reusable tampons made out of bamboo and yarn I think.
I do stuff like that
I have to say that probably it is the thin skin of your daughter and not your lack of experience with death. I rarely say anything to my teenager (when they are upset) that is the "correct" thing to say. I think the drama is actually coming from these young people's first experiences with death, and I have found that teenagers can be profoundly sensitive to even the deaths of people they do not know.
You are just "mom." Your job is to keep her from going over the emotional cliff. Even when it is a member of your own family, that is still your primary job. That "everything is going to be okay" is the correct thing to say.
fun stuff!
I jumped on my sister in an elevator because I'm cool like that and because someone offered me 1,000,000 dollars.
My son's did not turn out so well at all . . .
I loved my brother under your bed because that's how I roll.
If he wants to come and get his stuff, that
is fine. But I would not have him bring an officer, I would have him set a time to do so and YOU have an officer there with your paperwork on the restraining order.
My niece had a Yorkie, the love of her life! We all loved her so. Lots of love in store for you.

I'm sorry all that stuff happened to you, too, and
am more glad that you moved on as well! Thanks for bringing me perspective again. I have to run now -- off to the happy world of MTing.
The stuff is awesome!
Works when nothing else does.

Anyone have MP3/IPOD stuff?? sm
i'm thinking of getting an MP3 player so when i walk i won't have this bulky CD player in my pocket. i know you download music on it, but can you take one of your own music CDs, put that music on the computer and then download that music off the computer into your MP3? did that make sense? just thought i'd see if anyone here knew how that stuff works. thanks!
Then you might want to try some fresh stuff.
I just made a turkey breast today that was very tasty. In a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, I chopped up some fresh rosemary, thyme, sage, and a couple cloves of crushed garlic. Then, I just rubbed that onto the (skinless) turkey breast.
I oven-roasted that with some vegetables, but you could put that on chicken breasts and bake or grill them. They'd be good either way.
Good luck!
Has anyone else watched this stuff?
I watched this on CNN last night and this guy had been planning this for a LONG time. Even the news station had to edit the video because of language and could not show all the pictures either, much less read anything of what he wrote. One newscaster did say, however, after reading over some of what this guy was spouting off in his video, was that the whole motive behind any of this was envy. Envy of what other people had, as far as possessions. He even idealized himself as a martyr, comparing himself to Jesus Christ. This guy had been stated as being an imminent danger to himself and others two years ago by a clinical psychologist! Now really, I seriously do not think any of his sick psychosocial mental fixations had anything to do with him being from korea! He was just a walking time bomb that exploded. JMO
They have jobs & pay for all their own stuff. Just have to do away

strong stuff
I use to sell the stuff and let me tell you the backing should not hurt the flooring. Actually, I took a screwdriver and tried to scrap, chip or just try to mar the surface of the flooring and I could not even scratch it at all.
Follow up on this cat stuff
I just got back from the store and bought some hairball control dry cat food. The older cat I spoke about drinks water so no problem there. I got the dry as well as several cans of wet hairball control so probably will mix a little of the wet with dry to start out with. I also bought glove to run over the cat and get rid of some of the excessive fur. This is not a common shedding as she has had for sometime, surprised she has any left. I have hairball gel that I could give them in addition to this. Thanks for the insight!
