    Auto Insurance through Costco

    I have their insurance and have had it for at least 5 years. Rates are great. I have filed an auto claim and it was all paid promptly. The lady in charge of my claim was wonderful. As you can guess I am happy with the rates and service.

    Do your kids have tvs.....

    My kids don't have a tv. My 8 year-old has asked for one a couple of times because her friend across the street has one in her room. I told her no and that was the end of it. My dad gave me a t.v. when I was 12 and I rarely watched it. I don't think it's a big deal, but I don't think I'll...

    SpongeBob Squarepants??? Never thought I'd write this word....

    My kids watch it and they love it. I don't mind and I watch it when I'm by myself on occasion.:happytv: It reminds me of Looney Tunes. Slapstick comedy for children while they have a lot of comedy for adults through the writing. My kids are 8,6, and 3. They aren't consummed by it and they...

    What things are you not willing to compromise on?

    Cheap Shoes! I would much rather have fewer pairs of nice fitting, nice looking shoes than many poorly fitting, poorly made shoes (which fall apart). A nice pair of shoes can last years and years especially if you use a shoe maker and have the soles replaced, etc.

    marriage surviving an affair?

    I don't know of one marriage that has survived. My mom's didn't, my aunt's didn't, my neighbors' didn't, my cousin's didn't, my dad's (2nd marriage) didn't. I guess there must be some that survived, but how would I know if I didn't know they cheated?:rolleyes1

    Anyone from Salt Lake City?

    I grew up in SLC and I currently live in Phoenix (10 yrs). I moved away when I was in my late 20s. I am LDS and I never excluded anyone if they weren't LDS. I'm not saying that doesn't happen, but I've never done it nor have I ever seen friends do it. In fact, at my 20 year reunion, we all...

    How Often Do Your Kids Play With Their Friends?

    My kids play everyday with their friends. We live in Phoenix so it's usually nice outside. They walk home from school together and then stop at the park to play for about 15 minutes. Then they come home and all the kids go into their homes to have a snack. Usually my kids do their homework...

    Has anyone bought outdoor furniture from Target?

    I bought a couple chairs and table a few yers ago. They seem to be holding up ok. I didn't pay much for them. It retailed for about 175. I have noticed that the cushions are beginning to settle and I can feel the bars on the chairs. I have a feeling that I'll need to replace the cushions in...

    Doing double batches....

    Speaking of frozen waffles. I also cook double batches of those and pancakes and freeze them. In the mornings, I just pull out the number I need and pop them in the microwave. Kids really like having a "hot" meal for breakfast. My husband even does it now.

    What do your cabinets say about you?

    Mine says: Does an 8 year old really need to use a sippy cup anymore? BTW, I do have a 6 and a 2 year old, but I find that there are less spills if everyone has a sippy cup. Baby likes to sample everyone's drink. ;) Name brands I buy. Some cereal and definately bread. I buy whatever's...

    Anyone besides me actually enjoy doing their taxes?

    I really enjoy it too. In fact, I plan to print the forms off the IRS website and do them by hand and then do them with Turbo Tax on-line to see if I can do them by hand acurately without the help of a program. I know, what a dork!
