    Biggest Loser Special on HIgh Schools ...anyone see it?

    I think the parents whose children qualify for free or reduced lunch would seriously object to this. Since public schools get funding to provide services for low income families (lunch is just one of the many services) schools would again be financially impacted. Also these students would then...

    Biggest Loser Special on HIgh Schools ...anyone see it?

    Does anyone have a California Closet?

    I had California Closets do my master bedroom closet, which basically goes the length of one entire wall of my bedroom. I have sooooo much more storage capacity and the lay out perfectly reflects what I need in a closet. It was pricey and soooooo worth it. You'll be amazed when it's all done!
