    schools punishing with food

    Hi Sara, I just wanted to say how shady it is to use food, or lack of food, as a way to punish kids. Talk about leading to problems later on in life. And to only be concerned that you aren't making more money selling snacks. Give me a break.... I was just wondering, though..... Is your...

    The Classics Vol 1

    Hi, I have the Classics and I really like it. Okay, the set and the outfits are a big throw-back to the late eighties/early nineties (leotards, butt floss, scrunchies, high top sneakers) but I think it's cute and reminds me of high school. The combos are easier, I think, than some of...

    What's the going value of wedding presents?

    Hi, I've never been to a casual-style wedding before, so my two cents may not apply here. In my family we typically give money, not gifts, for the wedding. We reserve gifts for showers or engagement parties. I went to a wedding this summer for my cousing and gave them $250. Same for a...

    Hi, I had a similar problem with my dog Sherman. He would scratch frequently, but didn't have fleas or any visible skin irritation/inflammation. I started using oatmeal shampoo with him, and even occasionally I put some oatmeal lotion (I think I used a lotion from avon) on his itchier...

    Stupid Scale

    Hi, I know its no consolation, but keep in mind that a lot of crap is quite salty, so you end up picking up some water weight gain after indulging. It's horrifying, isn't it? To me, it's like the equivalent of realizing my husband put my jeans in the dryer for too long. I know in my...

    Single People, Please Exit the Building

    This guy sounds like an idiot, but lets give him the benefit of the doubt and hope, really hope, that he's just socially inept and was making some kind of bad, bad joke. I believe someone already mentioned this, but companies can't hire OR fire people based on marital status, just like they...

    I always bag my dog's poop, so why...

    i actually don't blame the woman. the fact is, even if you do pick up after your dog, you certainly don't pick every bit of poop each time. there's almost always going to be some, eh...... residue left over. you would probably not be happy if some neighborhood kids walked all over your lawn...
