    Airtran checked booster seats?

    Does AirTran charge you to check booster seats? Neither of my kids technically need to be in one by FL law...but I think their laws are ridiculously lax. But because they use boosters, they can't use them on the plane, so my only alternative is to check them....anyone with any experience with...

    OT: Opening presents at birthday party?

    We open them at the party. IMO children miss out on a great opportunity to show their appreciation and learn the social skills involved in being courteous to others, when they wait till the friends have gone home.

    Salvation Army rant!

    I think people forget that the people asking for these gifts are just like our kids. They want to fit in...they want to have the same things the other kids have so they don't look poor. Its really sad when you think of it.

My reason for this was that I saw a super cute cake I wanted to...

    OT: Anyone on new WW Momentum Plan??

    Set points are for eating out, I believe. Rather than estimate how much of whatever you are eating, you use the set point for it.

    Is she at all religoius, in any way? I just finished reading "The Shack" by William Young. It is not normally the type of book I would ever read, but I really liked it.

    Who else refinanced this week?

    We are refinancing as well. Our payment will stay the same, but our equity loan will be paid off! So that will save us nearly $200 a month.

    At Sam's you can get 100, I believe, for about $25. I think that is a great deal if you send out a lot.
