That is very cool! Our next son would have been Joseph Perry but he never showed!

My husband and I finally saw the commercial last night and we cracked up! We love Aerosmith and Steven Tyler. By the way - did I ever mention that our son is named...... Steven Tyler!

How very sad that is! I believe most people have them but don't pay attention to them. Some are stronger than others so you "feel" it more. Women more than men.

Stay off your feet - don't get up and move unless you have to go to the bathroom. My mom bled for 8 months when she was pregnant with my brother. Not saying you will. Just stay put until you go to the doctor again. Where there is life, there's hope and you said there is a heartbeat!

When you say blood levels are you talking about progesterone? They can give you progesterone to take through your 15th week. I'm sorry you are going through this worry. I miscarried three times and it is heartbreaking. My levels were very low with my third pregnency and they gave me progesterone. My son is 19-1/2 now! I will pray for you and I wish you the best of luck. Gina

I think I'm going to make this cake but with less layers. I know it will no longer be "Smith Island Cake" but it should taste the same and it sounds really good!

WOW! Mini-me really IS a mini-me, isn't she?! Very cute. I love the little boys in their tuxedos! You have a beautiful family. Congratulations! You will be a very busy Mommy with all those little kids.

I voted for A because I thought it was easier on my eyes. Too much white is too bright - and boring.

Steaks on the grill, baked potato, salad

There was a Chinese buffet in my hometown and they had a reputation for scraping plates back in to the serving dishes after people got up and left. It was a rumor. Then, they accidentally scraped a plate back in to the server that someone had put out a cigarette in. That stopped that rumor. And the business of this particular restaurant.

I have a neighbor who spends a ton of money on cruises (not the cheap ones), the best phones and computer equipment, the finest name brand clothes, etc. These people have money. But we refuse to eat anything that comes out of their house. They also don't seem to care too much about keeping their bodies clean. Like I said, money doesn't decide nasti-ness.

My son is in the same boat. Did not pass the math test - again. But has really good grades and has had them throughout high school. Not sure what the math disconnect is with him. He passed all of the other graduation tests. He can still walk though by getting a special ed diploma, even though he passed all regular ed classes. They call it a "transitional diploma" now........ Then, when he passes the math graduation test (maybe this summer, maybe next year, who knows, they will send him the regular ed diploma.

What makes you think the people who go to the "high end" buffets aren't just as nasty as the ones who go to Ryan's or Golden Corral. Nasty is nasty, no matter how much money they have.

when and where is it?

We are waiting to find out if he passed the graduation math test. (please God please God please God)

they leave them filthy because that's how they lived in them.

I wish you all the best!!

I could live without the internet and a cell phone. I use the internet at work for e-railsafe but that's about it (and I use it to mind everyone elses business on paulding.com when I get bored here at work which is pretty much an every day occurrence). My cell phone (Go Phone) I hardly ever use. It stays in my purse, turned off. I never give the number out to anyone. My husband has no idea how to even turn our computer on at home so he could also live without it (and he is a functioning member of society). My son uses it to look up song lyrics and stuff, homework writing assignments and

I don't get it.

There would have to be some major renovations done to that place before it opened again. It used to be fun 6 or 7 years ago. Then it got run down and dirty all the time. We had season passes for about 5 years in a row. We haven't had passes there or even gone there for the past 4 years. It's a shame because it was close and it used to be a good time - our son loved going there when he was little. It would be great if somebody bought it and cleaned it up.

There is a woman in the religion forum who posts under the name Genavive (sp?). She is a very good source for all things Catholic. She is quite knowledgable. I am also Catholic but, as a cradle Catholic, I can't always answer "why" we do what we do. It's just what I've always known to do in church. You know? Anyway, Genavive seems like the go-to person for Catholic questions you need answered.

meatloaf, mashed potatoes from a box and green beans from a can. I'm not looking forward to dinner tonight - making it or eating it.
