Thanks for all the replies. I talked to DS and like another poster said she was going to do, we're going to take some pictures early this summer with our own digital and see how they turn out. He's also going to talk to one of his friend's mom, I know she used to do senior pictures on the side...

DS will be a senior next year and he's already getting postcards from photographers for senior pictures. I know a couple people who used to do senior pictures as a side job so I thought why can't I do my own with my digital camera? The big question I had was if the yearbook photo needed some...

Tonight my husband said the bathroom sink was running slow and wanted to know if he should go to the local (expensive) store for drano or wait until we went shopping in a bigger town. I went in there and sprinkled some baking soda down the drain (actually had to push it down cause it didn't go...

This weather is doing us in. When we had our week of -30 windchills our new furnace wasn't keeping up. The heating guys have been out to our house at least 6 times since then, all free since they put the furnace in 3 months ago. But one of the fixes was replacing the regulator on the gas line...

DD noticed there's a coupon for free bowling on the back of the banquet frozen dinner in our freezer. It's good until 5-31 and there's a place in our area that will take them. Next time I buy tv dinners I'll have to check for more of those so H can take the kids some weekend I work. Banquet...

No I did NOT know this going into it. The registration packet they mailed me (after I talked to someone on the phone who answered alot of questions but never mentioned this, nor did I know to ask since the old studio never cared about what they wore to class) says "uniform leotard, pink tights...

Wow, the disboard are the best :cool1: I have learned so much from all the responses to my questions. It's hard on me when something is NEW and sometimes I just feel so uninformed about these things. Like I didn't actually know there was such a thing as dance tights, I thought they were...

This is really bugging me so I thought I'd bring it up to all my expert friends here since I always get such great comments/advice here. This is budget related. DD was in ballet for 4 years at a studio that was your basic lesson each week/spring recital type place. This studio also stated...

I needed to get DS a gameboy game for his b-day next month. Used yahoo shopping to comparison price the game & shipping. Then went to my rewards program to see which ones I could also get points for, found one that had 2% plus got $10 off for using google checkout. Plus get @ 1% in rewards on...

Our garbage has to be put into a bag that has the village name printed on it or they won't pick it up. The bags are $1.25 each which is great because everyone pays only for what they are using. For Spring/Fall cleanup there's a charge per item; it's not itemized but it's usually $20-$30 for a...

Brown some up and crumble it to put on salads & potatoes. Any breakfast type casserole like stratas you can put bacon in, use it along with or instead of the ham/sausage in the original recipe. Add it to green beans along with onions & parmesan cheese.

Is there a good shopping gene? If there is I don't think I have it. I rarely seem to find the excellent deals posted here or my sister/friends tell me about. I feel so unlucky when shopping. I look all over for the clearance deals but only find things I don't want/need and prices that are...

This was yesterday Left 15 minutes early so I could stop at K-mart on the way to DD's rehearsal instead of backtracking. DS needed shoes and I found some for 50% off which was only $7.99. I love K-mart shoes and they always have a sale on them. Used a $1 off coupon on the bottom of an...

I use spaghetti sauce for chili all the time. It tastes great to me but then I've never made it with tomato sauce so it might seem strange to you.

Thanks to this thread I turned the heat down 2 degrees when I went out for 2 hours, normally I wouldn't for such a short period but every penny counts. I've also been turning it down an hour before I leave for work instead of waiting til I'm leaving. My big find today was at Walmart, I'm...

I went to NYC with my 2 teenage boys. We went with a group tour that included alot of our touring but only 1 dinner in Little Italy and 1 slice of cheesecake on a different night. As a challenge I wanted to keep our food expenses to $50/day, yes for all 3 of us. And I did it!!! :banana: We...

I got an invite last Friday and my sponsor probably thinks I'm a deadbeat :laughing: . The system had me set up my 3 keywords during the application process so of course I messed it up. Then the site is having a problem so I can't delete the problem ones to reset them. Since according to what...

I got our satellite bill today which I always look over to make sure it's right. I saw that they've changed how they're billing some of the channels and now PBS is billed seperately at $1.50/month. Had H call and cancel PBS, we never watch it anyway. With all the talk on the budget board I...

Thanks, I looked into that a week ago and I still have 2 weeks to file a dispute with Ebay & Paypal to try and resolve this. I really want the item if possible so we're waiting a few more days before taking action with the system, and even then will hope that filing a dispute will light a fire...

Directly from her email acct at AOL. Originally we contacted her thru ebay and a copy of that was sent to our regular email but she didn't reply to it so I found her email on the paypal confirmation and emailed directly and she seems to get those. My H wishes we would have checked her...
