    College Program Parents Thread...

    Thanks for the info. Our DD mentioned we could potentially get a 50% discount if she stays with us. That's awesome. We are limited as far as places though because we are a family of 5.

    small town in the south?

    I would consider Greenville, SC. We live a little over an hour from the city and it has a lot to offer. Lovely refurbished downtown area, good housing and tax prices. Climate wise it has a gentle change of seasons. And it is centrally located to a lot of other great places. Approx 3 hrs to...

    HELP!!! Williamsburg, VA and Busch Gardens?? Yea or Nay?

    Sorry I didn't see this earlier to respond! I think the place was Williamsburg Woodlands or something like that. If you do a google search for colonial williamsburg it will have info on tickets and places to stay. There are several, not the cheapest, but not fancy, just your basic hotel with...

    Advice..cheating boyfriend of daughters..

    Wow that's a tough one but I'd also just give her time. She probably knows it's true but just doesn't want to believe it. BTW how old is she?

    Why is this news?

    I don't see how it's a scandal but I think if she couldn't sing it live they should've gotten someone who could. It would have been nice if they had picked a military singer, not someone famous.

    Your favorite SOUP

    I love soup and make lots of different kinds. One of our favorites is homemade tomato with grilled cheese sandwiches (using really good bread, mozzarella and cheddar cheese). Also love to make cream of broccholi. BTW the chicken noodle soup at Chick Fil A is really good.

    Using medical parking when pregnant

    It seems to me that if you need to use a medical spot at work when pregnant then maybe you shouldn't be working . Not to be sarcastic at all, but in normal pregnancies a little walking is healthy.

    Thanks for the info. I've seen alot of pictures of kitchens on pinterest that I love and alot of them have wood counters instead of granite. The price is alot cheaper too.

    Ikea kitchens

    I like the looks of the ikea wooden counter tops. Anyone have experience with these? They look really great and the price is right but are they too much upkeep?

    Anyone Live in South Carolina??

    We have lived in the upstate of SC for the last 15yrs and we love it here. However I have lived in the south most of my life, so I'm a bit biased. I think you'll love it. The weather is soo nice and there's lots to do..Charleston, Myrtle beach, beautiful mountains. You have the beach on one...

    Ok so I got bi-focals...and I hate them!

    See that's what I was expecting. To put the glasses on and just be able to see better. I went in today after wearing them for 2 days and they told me I just wasn't used to them and I needed time to adjust. I'm gonna keep them on through the weekend and see what happens I guess.

    Washington DC First Timer-Where to Stay?

    We visited DC this summer with our 2 sons. We got a great rate at the Mayflower downtown. It was a beautiful hotel in a great location. If you can find a good deal I would definately choose to stay downtown. We were torn where to stay -probably more than any other vacation I've taken. I was...

    Ok so I got bi-focals...and I hate them!

    :furious: How long will it take to get used to these things? I went from using non prescription readers to these and I just don't think this is gonna work. I was expecting to see better not worse!

    Alzheimer's and Nursing Homes...

    I think people refer to both assisted living facilities and skilled nursing facilities as "nursing homes" so I guess it depends on what your're talking about. A skilled nursing facility takes patients with more medical needs such as IV's , trachs, wounds as well as other illnesses and problems...

    Alzheimer's and Nursing Homes...

    Here in SC you only go into a nursing home if you have medical needs requiring a licensed nurse. OP says her mother needs custodial care which usually means an assisted living facility. I'm guessing that's why the social worker said that. There are many assisted living facilities that have an...

    Anyone else disklike David Letterman?

    Completely disagree with this statement. I think he's a biased hack, so to each his own.
