    Photographer nightmare!

    When my nephew was married this past spring, they came home for the wedding, but live in California. As gift suggestions, they said they would like $$ towards the photos. This photographer made up gift certificates for us to put in cards and then kept track of the funds. Then when the kids (...

    Cake smashing at weddings

    Hey, I'm tacky too! :goodvibes Most weddings in my area, back in the day as well as now, either daintily used a fork ( which I think looks pretentious ), bride or groom does a "smear" of icing, no big mess, or they both eye each other warily waiting to see what the other one does. That being...

    Horror books

    WDWBarb - I'm so glad you read it! Agree about The Stand, but 11-22-63 was amazing! That guy really knew his history and when they were in the cab in Dallas? I thought I would fall out of my chair trying to make them go faster! Hey look! Pennywise! :clown:

    Horror books

    When I read "IT" years ago, I slept with the lights on for two weeks - because I could see the bathroom sink from my bed. :rotfl2: "The Stand" took me completely out of reality so that I was surprised to see people out and walking around healthy. (Been wondering when someone was going to name...

    Big Brother Spoiler Thread

    Did anyone else notice Derrick choose an incorrect answer, hear the audience groan and then he quickly changed to the correct one? I was glad he won, but am surprised they didn't say something.

    Cookie Jam on Facebook

    Is anyone having difficulty with Cookie Jam loading on Facebook? I can load the other games I play, but Cookie Jam just stops at the load screen. No amount of deleting it or refreshing it will get it moving. Let's just say - I NEED THIS! *ahem* It would be nice to play it again. :rolleyes1

    OK, super embarrassing, but so funny! AKA:The Fart Thread

    "Don't come over here Mary..." has to be the best ever! We now use it in our daily conversations....if they are about farts. I had an interesting experience, rather gross, but I sat in the ladies room cracking up all by myself (thank God!) On the way to the bathroom at work, I had a...

    New neighbor's dog never stops barking!

    Another victim here. I live in an apartment/townhouse complex. A neighbor 4 doors away has a puppy, cute little bugger. I've seen the son out with it once or twice. It's obvious he doesn't know to interact with a dog. Sits in a lawn chair and puts his hands down a bit. Take it for a run! Throw a...

    "Worthless" lifeguards...

    I use the pool at my apartment. Most years, this year as well, we have young kids ( older teens ) as guards, provided by a pool service. They sit and visit with friends, text and read books. I have watched them as people enter the pool. They do not know how many people are in that pool. They...

    Giving up Splenda

    I used to drink my coffee black, just a little cold water. Gradually, I started adding sweetener and coffee mate because the office coffee was... office coffee! :rotfl2: I agree with trying to cut back on splenda etc. Adding hot water helps a little, but I recommend flavored coffee drops...

    Do you visit the cemetery?

    I never did until we lost my mother. Before that my parents, aunts and uncles always made sure there were flowers for Christmas and Easter for our grandparents. I believe I was asked if I wanted to go along, I said no and that answer was fine. Now that Mom is gone, I do go quite often. For...

    wedding gifts

    My nephew (very close) is getting married tomorrow. :hug: I wish I could afford to give them $200 but it's just me and I am REALLY strapped for cash. Since they have come home to get married, they, to quote the bride, "don't want to take pots and pans back to California on the plane". LOL What...

    Have a cold and one watery eye

    I've been fighting the same thing since the beginning of January. Just finished my third round of antibiotics ( these were stronger ) , was feeling better, mostly fine and everything came back within 2 days. My eye looks horrible - only one this whole time! The "rock" in my throat whenever I...

    Cat chewing Wires

    Aquarium air tubing sliced lengthwise then stuff the cord through the slit. That worked better than bitter apple drops for me. It's the softer cords - they have something in them that makes then flexible and whatever it is attracts cats.

    Should I tell the parents?

    When I was in 5th grade and dinosaurs roamed the earth, I had a bracelet, a trinket from the World's Fair ( hey! Stop doing the math! :thumbsup2 ). I loaned it to my best friend, as kids do, to wear outside to recess. I stayed inside that day. When she came back she said she "lost" it. I was...

    Just got a call from "Microsoft"

    They tried to get me too - I lied my face off. Told them my BIL had set up my computer and he had everything all set to protect me. Poor guy was confused! :rotfl: The joke was on me though, my computer started running really slow and I wondered if he was legit. But argued with myself that...

    ? How long would you expect back pay

    They will also have to refile their own corporate taxes, both quarterly and annually. Make sure they give you any tax documents you may need should you have to file an amendment to your own taxes. As a former Payroll Specialist, I know they can process the payment as reversing the old hours...

    Pets and the Time Change

    Yup - count me in the 3am, paw on the face, lamp crashing group. The past few years, both cats have backed up wake-up time at each time change. So instead of forward, back, forward, back, we get back, back, back, back. At least the jumping on the bladder has stopped. Jake used to push...

    Classic Dis Thread Questions??

    I remember the brown paper bag. That was the one where the neighbors pulled up then slipped a brown paper bag throught their own window instead of carrying it through the door, right? Wasn't someone assigned to lurk in their bushes and find out?:lmao:

    Sorcerer Mickey Jack o' Lantern Stencil?

    I like the picture from the link. Try saving it to "Paint", then change the black to grey and the orange to white ( to save ink ). Print out in size you like and paste onto pumpkin to carve away!
