    another wedding dress question

    Go to www.theknot.com You can search based on style, material, etc. Honestly though, you're going to be looking for a while - there are an infinite amount of wedding dresses on there. I would call the store back and ask to speak with a manager about the dress, there is no reason they should...

    Won't be checking in after all

    I'm very sorry for your loss. I'm almost recovered from an ectopic pregnancy - I go for (hopefully) my last hcg test today to make sure the level is back to 0. I don't know what a typical miscarriage is like so I can't help you there, but I wanted to tell you about Babycenter.com - they have a...

    Thank you everyone for your kind words of support. I'm feeling better emotionally but I've had some intense physical dicomfort that had me in a bit of a panic last night. I called my Dr. (at 11:30pm! :o ) and he talked me down, told me it was normal but to not hesitate to call at any hour w/...

    I was diagnosed w/ an ectopic pregnancy at my ultrasound yesterday ;( They gave me metho. to hopefully stop the embryo from growing and be reabsorbed, so I'm sitting here waiting for the process to begin. I'm fairly uncomfortable, I feel a lot of abdominal pressure which I attributed to gas...

    New here w/ ?

    Thanks for all the advice :-) Things seem to be going well, no more spotting and I'm experiencing more symptoms which is reassuring to me. I agree that this will be the last trip for quiet a while, I hadn't really thought of that initially - I'm going to go and I'll just have to tell them...

    New here w/ ?

    Hello, I just found out last Monday that I'm pregnant, DH and I are thrilled though completely shocked! I'm approx. 5-6 weeks, due in early Feb (seems so far away! I'm sure it will fly by though). I've had to have some hcg/prog. testing due to some bleeding (probably implantation) and...

    I'm falling apart - I have to vent!

    You need to rest - try 3 weeks then slowly reintroduce cardio and the 4th week add some weight training. I would also recommend using a stationary bike for your knee - though elliptical machines are considered lower impact they still produce quite a bit of impact on your joints, any Physical...

    Tinted Eyelashes??

    I had mine done a few months ago. It was free w/ the purchase of a facial, not something I would pay to do. It's completely safe for the eye area, it's a vegetable dye. It doesn't last too long, 3 wks tops depending on how often you shower. I liked it because I didn't feel like I had to put...

    Our decaying 50-year-old concrete pool... do we:

    Actually, in New England a pool decreases the value of a home - too much upkeep for too short a time. I'd fill it in and make a nice patio area if you don't already have one - patio's are big right now (I watch a lot of HG t.v. :))

    CARS & IMAGE - - lets have some feedback :)

    It's funny that this came up - just yesterday I was on the highway, bored, thinking about what everyone's car around me said about them. Like the guy passing me at 85mph in a Prius - "wants to appear environmentally concerned but failing miserably". I think the best thing you could do is...

    guess what - I AM GOING TO HAWAII!!! :D seeking input

    Missy, It was pricey, $400 for the two of us I think and that was 4 yrs ago. It was us and another couple in the helicopter, the other tours fit 6-8 and you run the risk of sitting in the middle, ie, you won't be able to see much. It was definitely worth it, we got some amazing pictures and...

    Bald Britney?

    www.perezhilton.com Scroll down a bit. It's all over the news, even CNN which is pathetic, IMO. She did it last night and was apparently very distraught and shaved her own head when the stylist refused. She then went and got 3 new tatoos, then went to the emergency room - she needs rehab or...

    Funny!

    Here is the Washington Post's Mensa Invitational, which once again asked readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition. The 2006 winners were: 1. Cashtration (n.): The act of buying (or building) a...

    guess what - I AM GOING TO HAWAII!!! :D seeking input

    Lucky!! I'm so jealous! We went to Maui and Kauai for our honeymoon 4 years ago, it was heaven! We also stayed at a condo on Poipu - it's a gorgeous beach but be careful of the undertow, they were rescueing people everyday. Our condo was called Plantation something, can't remember exactly...

    adult acne

    Isn't it great? On top of all the new little wrinkles and under eye circles, why not have a little acne to boot? I find it very frustrating. Anyway, I have an allergy to anything w/ perioxide in it so I can't atest to the effectiveness of products like Proactive (main ingredient is benzoyle...

    donating blood

    Ugh, what a nightmare! First time giving and I get the rookie phlebotomist, I only assume she was b/c I've had blood drawn and IV's and never a problem. She couldn't get into the vein, she only stuck me once but she kept moving it around until it was finally semi tolerable. She kept looking...

    donating blood

    I know strenuous exercise is to be avoided after donating blood but what about before donating? I was hoping to do Butts & Guts today but wonder if I'd be better off doing a something lighter, maybe a cardio w/o? Anyone have experience w/ this? I know about drinking extra fluids and eating...

    Detangler -HELP

    Brush your hair out before you get into the shower and comb your conditioner through with a wide tooth comb. I second the suggestion for Paul Mitchell the Detangler - it's a conditioner, not a spray.
