    Is it just me??

    I didn't have a clue about child pagents until the jon-benet case, and at that time I was working with a woman who's daughter went to pagents-so I asked her about them. Her daughter had been doing them since she was 8 or so and enjoyed them. She said the minute her daughter told her she wasn't...

    Living social deals, anyone with experience?

    I've bought a pair of boots and a bullet blender through living social/online site and so far I've not had a problem. Both of these items were under $40 so my comfort zone was ok with it. Both these items were shipped in a timely manner and my debit card was correctly billed. Hope this helps

    Forgotten Aunt

    Dear nieces and nephews- I remembered your birthdays and gave you presents every year until you were 18. I give you a christmas present every year. I took all of you (individually) on a special outing or trip when you were 10. I've never asked anything of any of you, because I didn't do these...

    How to Handle House in an Estate

    I had a similar situation as previous poster in that I lived with my parents and took care of them and paid the bills and taxes on the house while they were alive. They had a quit-claim (or ladybird in some states) deed made out to me so that upon both their deaths the house would pass to me...

    Just a family rant...

    I'm in the same boat. I'm the youngest of my family of five and have no children. I've been going through old photos and postcards and I've asked and asked if anyone is interested and get no responses. I've decided to pull out the photos that have any connection to each of my brothers and/or...

    Well then YOU make dinner...

    In the olden days :rolleyes1 my mom would serve the food family style and everyone took as much as they wanted-but you better have put at least a little of everything on you plate and finish what you did have on your plate. My father insisted that we at least try everything. After dinner he...

    Bonehead Kitchen Mishaps

    I was frying a hotdog in a pan and I did what everyone tells you not to do-I left the pan unattended. It was only for about five minutes, but by the time I got back it was flaming. So, I remembered not to put water on it and I remembered to pick it up with a oven mitt--but here I am holding a...

    book "Alas, Babylon" and WDW

    ok, I've had this in the back of my mind for a lot of years and I just want to see if anyone else who has read this book has had the same thought. background: "Alas, Babylon" is an old book (published in the late 50's early 60's -I think-like cold war era). The premise of the book is a...

    pepsi lovers and meijers

    sorry--I'm in Michigan. The store name brand is called Encore! and they have the blue label for the pepsi match-up and the red label for the coke one. I've tried scores of other store/off brands and always ended up back to the original pepsi--but this one has gotten me to switch. Doesn't hurt...

    pepsi lovers and meijers

    Has anyone else tried the meijer's brand of cola-w.the blue label? It is the only store/off brand I've tried that actually tastes like pepsi, for less money. They also have a red label that they claim tastes exactly like coke.

    Have any of you ever taken anyone to small claims court?

    we did, or rather my parents did. we had a tile sheet floor put in the kitchen and a few weeks after it was put in it started to bubble up. we contacted the installers and they sent someone over who "cut a hole in the tile" (supposedly to send to manufacturer) and then left. we then spent...

    annoyances to get off my chest at the end of the year

    --think of this as a sort of festivus for the rest of us-- and I totally agree with the cars pulling right out in front of you, especially when there is no one in back of you. I'm alway like "really? you couldn't see a large RED sedan coming?"

    annoyances to get off my chest at the end of the year

    I've got a couple that I just want to complain about so I'm not burdened by them next year (though I probably will still get a twitch about them occasionally). I work in a place that has uni-sex restrooms (single room restroom). It bugs me to no end when I'm in the bathroom and someone...

    Question about Prednisone and no tapering?

    I've had prednisone prescriptions several times (rheum.arthritis) and the first couple of times I had tapered doses. The times after that she didn't prescribe tapered doses. I asked her and she said since I voiced no negative effects from the other times I had had a short course she felt I...

    I could use some pixie dust....and some pain relievers--UPDATE pg 2

    I'm so sorry about what you are going through. I have RA and last Easter I had a flare-up of gout-it's bad enough to be in pain anytime, but around the holidays are even worse. I would suggest you be very careful about using the Tylenol. Very toxic to the liver-more than people realize. Do...

    The things you don't know about a person

    my grandfather had three grocery stores at the start of the depression, but because he kept so many people on the books (gave them credit) that he only had one at the end. I found this out from my father's sister-in-law, he never told me this himself. She also told me he was never paid back.

    Any tips for Halloweekends @ Cedar Point?

    Big tip--wear a jacket!! It can get cold sometimes, especially after dark. And if it is cold I would suggest ear muffs on some of the rollercoasters-if they let you keep them on. This sure made riding some of them more pleasant when it was cold.

    I just won half a million dollars!

    I keep on getting calls from Lansing, MI (our state capitol and where state lottery is). I have voice mail but they never leave a message. I think next time they call I'll pick up and before they have a chance to say anything I'll tell them "if this call is not about me winning a million...
