    Furby. Ugh.

    Careful, I gave four of these things out as gifts and ALL of them have broken at the 24-48 hour mark. Returned them back to Target and the lady said they've been non-stop returning them because of issues.

    OT- Where's best deal on Furbys?

    I'm getting these for my best friends little girls. I have no clue as to which ones to get:confused: One is 10 and the other is 7 years old. Pink is a "no-no" so which two colors does everyone recommend?

    Planting trees -- saving money on labor?

    I have had tons of trees planted. I've used the actual nursery the plants came from most often. They charged 30% of the plant value which included the labor, delivery and a warranty. Well worth the cost because of how expensive these trees were! If I'm spending the money anyway, I'd rather have...

    Budget for WDW: Can it really be this much?

    The hotel expenses can be much less if you want it to be. Are you staying at a deluxe hotel? If so, consider renting out points for DVC. We have a sponsor on here who charges either $12 or $13 per point. It can actually come out a ton cheaper in the end! Google DVC point charts and see how many...

    It's only $300 a day! That's cheap for a vacation..

    My parents felt like Disney was so expensive and I think their total was going to be just over $2000 for room and tickets. (This is before I bought DVC and this was during free dining!!). But anyways they didn't end up going because that was just so much money:confused3 Even though a trip to the...

The must haves are ocean front rooms, clean, pool and under $160 a night per room IF possible. Do you think this budget is on target or should we expect to pay more? When's the best time to...

    Filling plastic Easter eggs--for teens

    Every year I help out or run an Easter egg hunt. Honestly, Target is awesome for finding little trinkets and candy. Just take an egg with you and test out things to make sure they fit. Maybe even get a couple of those huge eggs and I think you might be able to fit a pair of cozy socks in those...

    How much to charge for house and pet sitting for 3 weeks?

    I just puppy sat for a friend in January. $80/ day + food. Her kennel charges $45/night and $20 extra for play sessions. It's not even the nice place. Just because someone decides to take a long vacation doesn't mean you should be paid less each week/per day. Just looking up some local...

    Are there any jobs out there that offer health insurance still or are they doing away

    In my opinion jobs with health insurance are very difficult to find. Most companies seem to be ending any and all benefits. I guess everyone figures that even if they keep on cutting pay and benefits someone will still work for them. Even my friends who are pretty young and haven't been out...

    Places to order plants, trees and seeds?

    Can anyone recommend a quality online(Or catalog) seed/plant company? The plant variety at the big chain stores were bland last year. Well, at least what was left each time I went. While the plants at the local nursery were so expensive and the quality didn't match the prices I paid. Any great...

    Any new restrictions on buying a resale contract - which resort to buy at?

    Thanks Deb & Bill! You made that easy to understand. Sandisw - Thanks for the info on the new rental language in the book. I'm counting on being able to rent out points when I won't be using them. Like next year the plan is to take more beach trips so I may only use 100-200 points for the...

    Any new restrictions on buying a resale contract - which resort to buy at?

    Hi, just checking in and wondering if any new resale terms have been added this year?(can't rent out points etc) I've been saving up and looking at possibly getting either a 100-150pt HHI or SSR contract. I just don't want to buy if I can't rent out points I can't use in the future. This will...
