I haven't read the whole thread but I LOVE Doctor Who! I just watched the episode and wow! :hyper: I loved it! There is no way I can wait till next Saturday.

:eek: I don't know if I should laugh or cry.... Dr. Edward Jenner (the father of Immunology) is rolling in his grave. The lack of knowledge of basic human biology, let alone the scientific method, by the general public is both sad and a shame. And now a quick biology lesson. Your bodies...

Has anyone thought about the fact that the child in question is a Junior High School kid? Do you honestly think he is ok with causing all of the disruption and upset that would be associated with making a school peanut free? or would he rather gain a sense of responsibility and self reliance...

Oh good lord. It's a G rated Disney movie. Have they ever popped the head off a barbie, broken a wheel off a tonka truck? well there you have it, the amount of graphic violence portrayed in the toy story series... So yeah, let them watch it, it's one of, if not my favorite disney film. I baby...

Oh god, I love this show!!! seriously, I have no idea why. My TV watching usually includes Dr. Who, and House and the Office, nothing like this. But I can't stop watching, it's like a train wreck. :confused3 Personally I loved the "Mommy wants you to smile and wave at the judges!:mad:" ("Oh...

Don't get a camera with a rechargeable battery. Make sure it takes AA batteries, that is my number one requirement for any digital point and shoot camera. This is the number one piece of advice I give to anyone who asks me, and holds true for a 6 year old. With a camera specific...

I really don't see the issue with two 10-12 year old girls on your dock. They were probably just bored and exploring a bit, or saw a fish etc in the water. If they weren't hurting anything, and you could see them why not watch for a few minutes and if you noticed them making mischief, or picking...

I'm going to be the outlier here, but I'm going to say don't do it. I would definitely use the money for the pirate cruse or some other special event, souvenir etc. Having once been a 5 year old girl, the memory of having her hair done really isn't that special. I know that many times girls...

Has your DD ever been with her outside of dance? If not, she may have more in common that she thinks, or may have an interest that they haven't talked about in the limited time they're together at dance. I would have her go at least once, then access the situation. you could run to the store...

Take her to the dance store, have her fitted (it may be a small fee, ie $10 dollars) then go to Discount Dance. she will probably have a basic pair at first, 3/4 shank, wide box etc, shoes that are made for beginners. they tend to be cheaper, around $50 or so on discount dance.

Honestly this is just mean and low. seriously, the kid peeked at his presents and he's NINE! Of course he's going to lie that he didn't see them, what kid wouldn't? I'm pretty sure at some point almost everyone has seen or heard something they were getting for Christmas before they were...

I would let her take the niece to anywhere she wants. Parks, pool, playground. trust me, as a teen babysitter the kids often get even more one on one attention than they do with parents. Especially at places like a pool, or the parks. People tend to underestimate teens. We are not the...

to the PP yes there are always exceptions or special cases, but for your average kid sitting on a plane for a few hours should be no issue. I also like to believe that in general people are good,(and a plane crash is statistically unlikely) and that between the 2 people sitting in your...

I would get your DD's friend a gift. I would get the boy a card. I'm sure the boy has friends coming that aren't his sisters who won't be bringing her a gift, and vice versa.

by the time they're in school they should be able to handle themselves on a plane for a few hours. I flew as an unaccompanied minor starting in first grade. i was fine and I loved it. kids often do well when they're away from their parents, they have a sense of responsibility/being grown up and...

This is the third thread like this today........... on this page........ look down the page, there were quite a few suggestions. Carry as little as possible, it isn't the wilderness. The less you carry the happier you'll be as the day goes on and don't forget to have the kids carry their own...

what are you going as? If it is something like a princess you could get a cheap pair of keds type sneakers spray paint them silver or gold and glue on some of the large "jewels" (plastic, they come in lots of colors) and use gold or silver ribbon as laces. you could also do pretty much the...

Agree 100% at 4 she is more than old enough to know not to go with someone just 'cause they say her name. Get her name they will mean a whole lot more to her for a lot longer. Our rule has always been talk with anyone you want to , go with no one. My kids have always been talkers and have...

Honestly, these rides are designed by engineers who always overshoot values when safety is involved. an inch or 2 under the required height doesn't mean you're going to get hurt. And on the legs not touching the floor of the car, there is no way to determine how people are built. some have...

Yes the height restrictions are put in place for a reason, but they are also greatly increased from what height would be just at the cusp of safety. If you have to be 40" being 38" doesn't mean you're going to fly out of the ride. They are much taller than needed just to account for human error...
