    CELL PHONE SNAP SHOTS CAN HELP FIND MISSING CHILDREN

    I read that this morning and thought what a fabulous idea that is. Very smart. Five minutes after my daughter leaves the house I forget what she's wearing.

    Cool fitness pics of women-all sizes/sports

    Thanks for sharing this, I thought it was really cool. I bookmarked it so that I can show it to my tween daughter. One thing that really opened my eyes was watching the various shapes of the female athletes during the Olympics, particularly the swimming competition (I seemed to watch that...

    Starting a new chapter..... HELP

    Ellie - I'm inclined to agree with Wendy (wgilchrist). I wouldn't step into anything too soon...give yourself a little time to adjust. The end of the school day DOES come around rather quickly, especially if you're running errands, etc. Make sure to take some time for yourself, okay?

    Denver anyone....

    One set of my in-laws lives about a mile or two from Red Rocks! It's a beautiful area.

    Denver anyone....

    I live north of Denver. Both sets of in-laws live in western Denver suburbs. I think it's a great area to live in. The summers DO get hot, but not quite as hot as AZ and it's not humid here, either. I love living here and could never get used to not having the mountain skyline if I had to...

    Social Groups

    Is anyone else having problems getting into social groups or is it just me? For a while this morning I could not access any part of the site. Now I can come to the main site & forums, but not the social groups.

    I think I'm getting FIRED...(long, sorry)

    They really suck as an employer. My husband worked for them several years ago, both in a few different departments as well as a shift supervisor (something along those lines). They will nitpick at little things and I think their tactic is that when they feel you might cause them issues (real...

    Green smoothies for kids

    Does he like spaghetti? Get no sodium added cans of veggies like carrots and puree them and add them to the spaghetti sauce. You could also make spaghetti squash and serve it mixed in with regular spaghetti and he would never know the difference...it looks and tastes like slightly underdone...

    Why Does my House Never Seem Clean?!

    I wrote down the main chores I need to do to keep my house looking decent (clean the bathroom, vacuum 2x/week, clean the kitchen floor, etc) and divvied them up so I only do 2, maybe 3 chores a day tops. Because even though I'm unemployed right now, I don't want to spend hours cleaning my house...

    Why Does my House Never Seem Clean?!

    My house is comfortable. It is far from being immaculately clean but it is clean enough that I'm not embarrassed when someone comes over. I keep it clean for the most part, but with two large boisterous dogs that shed and a 10 year old child, I need to have lower cleanliness standards LOL.

    just ordered an urban rebounder

    I have a cheaper mini-tramp and I just store it on its side, leaning against the wall in the corner.

    kid advice

    I say let them ride their bike. It is close enough and if you lay down the rules ahead of time, then all should be fine. I agree with another poster that you can't live in fear of the 'could happen' scenario. They are old enough to go on their own and as they reach that age, they don't want...

    Michael Vick and Eagles???

    I do know that's not what you meant. I said what I said to emphasize how your wording sounded. No one is that cold hearted. When you cannot hear the tone of the voice, things can be misunderstood. And sometimes what makes perfect sense to us does not make sense to others. I agree with you...

    Michael Vick and Eagles???

    Wow, that's a pretty ignorant remark. On many levels. So all of those individuals that have been killed by a drunk driver were just not fast enough to get out of the way? Or they took their life in their hands by going out after the bars close? You know, it's not just the bar crowd that...

    Quit Smoking - would like some encouragement

    It's been 11 years since I quit cold turkey - the day I found out I was pregnant with DD. When I found out, I had one more cigarette and then I quit. It was hard, particularly because DH did not quit (he still smokes, actually - just not in the house, not in the car). The first few days were...

    Anybody else having issues with Facebook?

    Gayle, I use Mozilla and I was just able to get on to my Facebook page with no problem. Hopefully your issue is resolved soon.

    Mommy dilemma - what would you do?

    "it boggles my mind that people will try to cram as much knowledge in there as they can as early as they can" is what I said in my post, but PLEASE don't think it was directed towards you! I'm not saying you did, but just wanted to make that clear ;). We worked at home with our daughter during...
