Does anyone have a recommendation? I don't need any extra features, just...

    Travelocity vs. Expedia.com: is one better?

    Personally, I like Expedia. There website is very easy to navigate and I've never had an issue with them. As for "reliable and on-time" flight...good luck:eek::confused: IIRC, you live in the Twin Cities area; I'd put my money on Sun Country or Delta(or whoever it is that took over Northwest)...

    Do you have a maid?

    I have been considering hiring a house cleaner to come in 2 times a month. I'm going to be asking people I know for referrals. I think that is probably the best way to find someone who will be in your house. Both my sister and my aunt have their own house cleaning businesses (too bad they...

    acupuncture or chiropractor

    Janie1234: I've heard great things about accupuncture for low back pain. A good accupuncturist will tell you, up front, that if the treatment doesn't help significantly by the 3rd session, it probably will not work. As far as the chiropractor, depending on your specific back issues, you may only...

    I feel like a terrible mom..... Long

    This sounds like a great idea! Just something acknowledging her achievement.:) It doesn't have to be elaborate. My parent's didn't have much money either and they had cake, coffee, & punch for me, my friends, and family.

    Is anyone else a bit disturbed by VW's ads?

    "Slug Bug!" That game made our family car trips so much fun! It was all in good fun and never malicious or mean. It was just something my parents taught me and my sister. Probably to keep them sane; because then we weren't asking "are we there yet?" a gazillion times!:p We also played the...

    Let's Talk St. Bernards

    Have you considered a boxer?:D No drool and very, very sweet. Here is a picture of our dog, Nelle. Boxers are very smart, learn quickly, and love people. As for shedding, the more we brush her the less she seems to shed. St. Bernards are cute! Because I'm a neat-freak, I would have a nervous...
