I think you may have to look more at why your mom did this (does this happen alot?). Is she doing this to go over your authoritiy or is she just trying to get the kids something she knows they like. She may have asked them what they wanted for their birthdays and your kids told her so to make...

I would question why at 50 this guy is suddenly working for his dad. Do you know what he was doing before he came to work there? He may have lost his job because of his behavior, his dad may already know what type of person he is and hopes that no one complains about him because he is the...

I was thinkin' a pre-workout meal - a bowl of chili with a side cup of Kashi! Sorry Laura - couldn't resist! Diane

I agree w/ Lorrie - let them know ahead of time. It's one thing to know your neighbor is jumping rope outside and another to find out the hard way your neighbor is jumping rope outside. It sounds silly but they may make some minor adjustments like making sure windows are closed or no animals...

I've gotten a few email rsvp. I like them because I can e-mail someone anytime, you can't rsvp by phone at midnight or 6am, which is when I usually remember to do it! As much as I hate to say it, sometimes a rsvp can lead to a 15 min. conversation which I may not have had time for (walking out...

Hey Jerry, Just saw your other thread about your back. Sorry your in pain, I can't even imagine. Hopfully you will find some helpful advice through the forum! Diane

No more back problems!! I used to throw my back out a few times a year. I would be out of commission for a few days, on the couch with a heating pad most of the time. One time I was cleaning the toilet (of all things). I stood up and a knot twisted in my back, I could barely crawl to the...

Since your company is so small you may be able to work out some type of deal. See if you can "bank" some hours and use them as paid time off. You really need to be open with your boss. With such a small company he may not have to hold your job if you are away for any amount of time. Your 6...

Nan I don't know if you've had a chance to see the new Shaq's Big Challenge show but your nephew sounds exactly like the kids on the show. If you can get your brother and his family to watch the show, they may see themselves and choose to make a change. One thing that is pretty obvious is...

I watched the show last night with my kids. My opinion is they knew exactly what the kids were going to do, but how many parents do exactly what Shaq did?! These kids may be home alone after school and get the same type of call from their parents and answer in the same way. It was their (the...

Nancy, The great thing about the books is that they are at liberty to give their opinon. The best expensive hotel, the best economy hotel, the hotel with the best restaurant... It is amazing all the "insider tips" around. The book I have (WWD w/ kids 2006) gave info on what are the best...

Lorie, As far as I know anyone can do it. I personally don't know of any restrictions. Go to Disney Vacations web site and just start planning. I planned our trip last year online. I booked our room, park tickets, meal plan and they have this thing called something like Magic...

I LOVED the meal plan! It was a "no-brainer" It didn't matter whether the price on the menu was $14(chicken)or $25(steak and shrimp), it is the same on the meal package. We went to three Charater Dining events and the kids had a blast! At one, Mickey and Chip and Dale had a food fight at our...

I agree with Shelly Go, Go, Go!! I've been to Disney three times (all as an adult) twice with just my husband and once with the kids. There are so many options, you really need to do research. They have many books about Disney, quite a few are for Disney w/o the kids. If you are on the fence...

Mini-vans are great. As much as I don't like the "soccer mom" lable that goes with them, they are a great purchase. I like being able to get all the kids inside at once, then buckle them in. The sliding doors are great. I can't tell you how many times I've been hit in the school parking lot...

One of the most disgusting things I've ever seen was a mother feeding a bottle to her 2-month old baby while smoking. You can pass as many laws as you like but how much do they really help. I'm sure her children would not benefit by this law and I can't help to think about how people would...

They are both really great workouts (I have both) but if you are looking to purchase only one I would go with B & G. There are just more options with B&G. The premixes are great and work different parts of the legs and it also has two ab workouts, both very different. I rarely use B&G as is...

As a parent, you really need to do what makes you and the others around most comfortable. As I stated, I wouldn't let my boys change where naked women might be (for his sake and the ladies) but I definetly would NOT let them go in by themself to change in the mens locker room! My 5yr old may...

I thought that is why there are dark tainted windows on the backs of minivans! Fairly new to Cathe (been reading for a while) but have to chime in. I have two boys (9 and 5) and I would never take them into a ladies locker room not knowing what they might see, to make everyone...

Heres a flip side. My husband has was told by a head cashier, while carting 20 plus items - "You can go through the 10 items or less, sir." He refused knowing the looks and words he would get from other customers coming up behind him! I think his words where "Thanks, but I'd never make it out...
