You are so mean!!!! My mom always did that too, but I refuse because it just goes back in the fruit basket. It is funny though! I got baseballs for the boys this year to go in the toe. I also get toothbrushes, body soap, Pokemon cards, candy, and any other little things. Some things are wrapped, and some are not. It really takes a little of the early morning pressure away! Oh--and scratch tickets for Mom and Dad!!

That really would be cool! I may actually feel like I have enough time for a social life!!

This is pretty good: Chex Muddy Buddies Microwave for 1 1/2 minutes stirring occasionally: 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips 1/2 cup peanut butter 1/4 cup butter Then add 1 teaspoon vanilla Pour over 9 cups of chex (I used corn or rice) Shake until covered in chocolate, then add 1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar and shake until coated Spread on wax paper to cool. **Note, do not shake in a plastic bag. The chocolate is hot enough to melt it. Yes, I know from experience!!

I did the first year after I split with my childrens father. I did it so the children wouldnt think that Santa forgot me. Dont feel guilty though..I have been very tempted to do that this year!!! I've been Sooooo good this year!!

Congrats and good luck!! You will do just fine. Remember, you are selling yourself to him. As long as you know you are worth it, he will see that!!

Oh, how I miss those days!!! (Not the peeing part, just having them young enough to come snuggle!!)

I think it's the perception of what "solved" actually is!! Although, I will say, I know many that biatch long after its solved!!

Yes, the idea was good....but the children need to know how to keep the pieces together and out from under my feet!!!

Men have problems?? LOL!

I have a rule to always answer my phone when family calls...you never know if they may need you right at that minute. My sister on the other hand will go weeks without answering because she gets so caught up in her own life. If I cant talk, I will answer and see whats happening, then let them know I will call them back. My family is 1200 miles away, so it is important to keep in touch.

I have multiple colors, but I do like the white lights with a silver, maroon, and gold theme. The kiddos like the colors more, so thats what we do. After all, they are the bosses, right? I love Christmas trees in general. Dont care if they are elegant or gawdy, they are always beautiful!!! I have a big tree, and a smaller fiber optic one set up this year. The fiber optic is pretty, but skinny.

Nice! I got your catalog on Friday, thanks! About how long does it usually take to get an order?

Well, I can honestly say I had never seen the video before. I think if people dont have anything better to do than question and slam other's posts, they are the one with the problem. Better yet, if you dont like the thread, just close it up and move on. If I open one that is not of interest to ME personally, I dont feel the need to make a comment stating that. Some people need to get their head out of the keesters, and realize that not everyone has the same negative attitude as they do. If you want all serious posts..jump over to the political forum. Happy Holidays! Carry on.....

Uh oh! It said you were supposed to keep it private and confidential!

Ha! Funny!!

Thank you, You are so right!!!

Thanks LR. I will be thinking of you BB, and your family.

I would like to know the area as well, but it doesnt really matter. It is something everyone should be aware of and reminded of anyway. It can happen anywhere, and may be different people. It really makes me mad that people would strong-arm the elderly to steal from them.

You should try to find a template online. Its fairly simple, and doesnt cost anything. Good luck on the job!!

I looked in to an auction on Flordia homes a while back. I think you could bid online, or go to the auction. I believe it was on auction.com but not positive. Anyway, the way I understood it was, that you had to be approved for an amount prior to going, and have some sort of "down payment" with you at the time. I'm not sure how the online side worked.

Happy Birthday!!

When I was 13 my step sister stole some fingernail polish, and told me when we left the store. We were walking back to the house, and I was so scared! I have never personally stolen anything. Heck, I get paranoid leaving a store knowing I didnt steal. (Darn electronics, and cashiers not scanning them correctly or whatever)!!!

I wont even get in a self checkout line if I have to wait behind someone!!

Its good with mashed taters too!
