    Who else is getting their kid ready for their first year of college?

    I sent my oldest off to college in June. She's an athlete and had to report early for training and two classes. She's home for the next three weeks or so and then she probably won't return until Christmas Eve. We had to rush and buy stuff for her as she left four weeks after her high...

    What makes you decide to relocate?

    I would love to move to somewhere warm especially after these past few weeks. I am SO OVER Winter 2014!! Our kids will have their 4th "snow/extreme temperature" day this month tomorrow. Realistically I have to remain here for at least 15 more years until I can retire. At that point, I plan...

    High School Class of 2016/College Class 2020

    My "baby" will start high school on 8/17. I can hardly believe it! When I joined the DIS, shortly before our first trip to WDW, he was only TWO years old!! :eek: He will be joining his older sister and will be wearing regular clothes for the first time since pre-k. I'm excited for him, but it...

    SPIN OFF! Did you live together in sin UPDATE in Post 1

    Got engaged in December. Got an apartment the following June (I was a joint leaseholder) but I didn't officially move in until September @ two weeks before the wedding. If I had to do it over again, I would have moved in right when we got the apartment. You learn a whole lot about each other...

    Several wonderful memories of Whitney Houston

    I was lucky enough to see her in concert @ 20 years ago when she was near the pinnacle of her career. She was amazing! Truly sad for her family and millions of fans. Just last week, two days before the Super Bowl, I was at my dd's varsity basketball game and her version of the National...

    Products you can't find anymore

    Does anyone know of any Target store that still carries Market Pantry Parmesan and Rosemary Popcorn? I have looked in IL (Chicagoland area and near western suburbs) and even as far as Orlando, FL (when we were there in June). It just disappeared!!:confused3

    My 12 yr old DD got her period yesterday and is devastated. Any advice?

    When my dd started @ 13, we had "Woman's Day" (like Mrs. Huxtable did for Rudy on The Cosby Show). I took her for a special lunch. Now, two years later, it has gotten better. DH and I always know when IT is on the way--she gets very surly!! My advice to you: Purchase her Summers Eve...

    To the CM's on the board: what is the one "tip" you can give us?

    I have one too... If your family is willing, wear character shirts. When we went to Disneyland in 2005 for the 50th Year celebration, my family and I all wore matching t-shirts featuring the "Fab Five" and the lettering stated that we were "celebrating 50 years of magic at Disneyland" on...

    So tired of the drama - vent (long)

    I agree 100% with everything that you posted!! I always tell my clients that if the alleged father asks for a DNA test, do it!! I've been told that the tests can be done in the hospital shortly after the birth:thumbsup2 That way, the truth is out at the beginning and he can never have this...

    MIL Christmas Gift Thread 2010

    I too look forward to this thread every year. I read the older posts to my dh and dd -14. Both fell over laughing out loud. :lmao: For the record, dh voted that his favorite gift (from years past) was the bubble wrap!! I'm partial to the Meowy Christmas sweater. I have been wishing my dh a...

    Tell me again why I had kids? Who else has older kids break their hearts?

    FWIW, I am a caseworker from IL and I have never heard of anyone being "locked up" for throwing a pregnant woman out of your house--she's not 16, she's 30!!! Hope everything works out for you. I have a 14 year old and she can be sweet as pie, but catch her on the wrong side of her cycle and...
