    J.C. Penny's "fair & square" pricing...the results are in

    My mother and I worked in retail for many years, her specifically at JCP. According to her, items came in with the pink "clearance" tags from the warehouse and never hit the sales floor at full price. Believe me, coupons and big sales are part of the overall budget of these big box retailers...

    And we thought reusing refillable mugs was bad...

    I have ounces of compassion, truly, and would never stop anyone from taking napkins and ketchup packets but it IS stealing if you don't ask, no matter the reason. Do you think McDonald's or wherever plans for each customer to take 20 ketchup packs and huge wad of napkins? These things do cost...

    Declawing cat or soft paws?

    We just had our three year old "kitten" :goodvibes declawed in April because we were moving to a place that wouldn't allow us to bring him otherwise. At our last house we had to pay $700 in new carpeting before we could move because he just wouldn't stop tearing it up. We tried everything...

    Disboutiquers Part 23 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

    I have seen some advertised on a craft site and I didn't really realize it was possible. Has anyone ever just ironed on the appliques instead of ironing and sewing? If it works, I might do a few last minute Mickey Head cut outs this weekend. Anyone have any advice?:confused3

    Minor child used my debit card online....

    Well, OP, I feel for you because my kid did this too:headache:. Only DD was 7 and only did it on one site and there was no PayPal or anything else involved.

    WWYD...Sister's Wedding

    I think weddings are family affairs and that includes kids. At mine, one of my oldest friends little ones "chattered" all the way through the ceremony and it was a completely happy sound:goodvibes I loved it!! At the reception, all of the kids danced and played and had a wonderful time. I can't...

    Lazy, Unappreciative 18 year old....

    OP, I started to write a really long response but as felt my blood pressure rising I stopped. Let me just say that my brother is 39 and has never been out of my mother's house for more than a few months at a time, even for the year he was married(the ex threw him out on a pretty regular basis)...

    We found NB slip resistant at RackRoom Shoes in VA. They were $60? way worth it for my DH who is a chef and on his feet about 10h a day. They look like black sneakers. He loves them.

    Does anyone think this situation is unfair?

    I guess I just don't understand how this one girls "ranking" hurts the other students? :confused: I do know its totally sad to think that they can't show some kindness to a fellow class member who seems to have triumphed over such odds~ If I were their parents I would be mortified to have raised...

    Coffee lovers - help me

    Get Cinnamon and Vanilla syrup from the coffee section at the grocery store or at a coffee place- Starbucks sells their syrups- you just have to ask at the counter and if you ask also they will give you a pump for the bottle. If you use syrup for flavor then you can use any kind of dairy that...

    A question for the ladies - hysterectomy related

    BUT I think you should get a second opinion before you go any further. I have been in your shoes and had a ******l hysterectomy. If your doc is suspecting a condition that requires a biopsy beforehand then you should not be having the kind of hysterectomy that destroys your uterus as it comes...

    Health care provider, frustrated with patient's or guardian's attitudes

    It is completely frightening to me as a patient that you cant find two minutes before walking in the exam room to look at my chart!!:eek: and if you had just taken those two minutes that you say you can't spare it would have saved all the minutes its now taking to make up for being so rude.
