    Gift Receipts - Beware

    Ok, this is how it is really suppose to work at Kohls: If you earn Kohls Cash on a purchase and you return an item that puts you below the earning amount ($10 Kohls Cash for every $50 Spent), and it is before or during the time you are eligible to redeem the Kohls Cash, the Kohls Cash gets...

    Oh MY!! It's going to take 3-4 months to close on a refi??

    Wait and take a deep breath.... Now do the math again. Today is November 12th and in 2 months it will be the middle of January. See, it's not as bad as you thought.

    bar mitzvah gift

    I would say $25 minimum but certainly not higher than $50. How about a savings bond, haven't bought one in forever, but $25 buys you a $50 bond so it looks like more and might actually get saved for college or something important.

    Need Help on storing fresh strawberries???

    Definitely agree - we picked so many strawberries and they lasted over a week (with zero mold). The advice above is what I found on the web and used this time around with great results.

    Best strapless bra

    This sounds so interesting! I need to find one for my daughter, who is going to her eighth grade graduation celebration dance. They are pretty much wearing prom dresses and hers is strapless, but comes up to a nice level. Still, I don't want her tugging at her bra all night pulling it up...

    Property management company increasing rent

    I definitely agree with the landlord of 22 years. I have also been a landlord for 16 years. Can you believe we have had the same tenant all those years? I can't even imagine the cost of turning the place over and fees associated with it. We have been so lucky - she pays all the utilities...

    Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom Advice Please

    Yes, it is still there. Waited on that line last year, thought it would start moving at any minute, then I felt like I had invested so much time in waiting in the line that I just couldn't leave. Later on, I met up with my older daughter and her friends and they told me that the number one...

    Will this work???

    It should work, since the bank is a third party and won't know what you buy. But another example is Kohls - when they are offering Kohls cash ($10 for every $50 you spend), it excludes Kohls gift cards.

    Sick and tired of bread prices!

    Anyone have any good Gluten Free bread machine recipes? My daughter is on a GF diet (no wheat) and the pre-made bread is terrible. I've been buying a mix (Namaste) and making it in the bread machine, but the mix is $6 a loaf. Thanks.

    OT: Washington DC help RE: hotels

    Stayed in a few of the hotels in the Washingtonian center. They are all nice. I think they are all Marriots (springhill suites, residence Inn, Courtyard and the upscale one - I can't remember the name, but the beds were excellent!). The metro center is about a 5 minute drive. The only...

    Before I invest in replacement vanity countertops

    Just saw this on Dr. Oz today about hazards in your home. They actually said that some granite countertops have radon trapped in them and emit the gas in your home. I would just ask if they test their slabs. It was an interesting show.

    What do you pay your nanny?

    I agree with both sides of this argument. I think the best solution is this: Your nanny needs a set salary that she can depend on. So you should pay her from noon to 6pm. That being said, she should be there from 12 - 6pm. You need to think of things for her to do from 5:30 - 6pm. If she...

    H1N1 vaccine

    ditto squared. We do get all our other vaccines, but I'm always hesitant. We make sure to keep our immune systems in good shape. Vitamin D, Zinc, C and a good multi vitamin.

    Budget Friendly Hotels near Hershey Park?

    We were there in October and stayed at the Springhill Suites in Harrisburg/Hershey. It was brand new - we stayed there the 2nd night it was open. We have 6 in our family, so we needed the extra pull out bed. It was a beatiful new hotel with an indoor pool (although the pool was tiny). Enjoy...

    Question about Wii Warrantly

    Just had to send our wii console in for repair. It was out of the warranty period, so we had to pay. But the warranty is a full year and they are very helpful. Just look in the operations manual and you will find an 800 number to call. We sent our wii out last Monday and it is already being...

    best way to sell an unwanted gift card?

    Do any of these stores sell other gift cards? For instance Kohls and Staples sell gift cards for itunes and other places. Can you use this gc to buy another gc to a place you usually shop?
