I tried the seasickness patch (worn behind the ear...someone recommended it..scalpamine?, I think). The patch made me sick and when I took it off and just took the less drowsy version of Dramamine, I was fine and actually took a second cruise. I think that I would try ginger or Bonine (I...

Nicole~ I have the same memories and I do it now with my kids but never thought about it until your post!! Made me laugh out loud!! I LOVE pointing out all the lights and saying, "Look! Look!!" :)

Well...It's A Wonderful Life, of course!! Prancer. And Miracle on 34th Street (both versions) "Your Honor, every one of these letters is addressed to Santa Claus. The Post Office has delivered them. Therefore the Post Office Department, a branch of the Federal Government, recognizes this...

The way I look at it, there is so much in our society that rushes our kids to grow up too fast. I am trying to keep the spirit of Christmas alive for my kids for as long as possible. If you don't believe in Santa for your kids, please start another thread about that (and the whole idea of...

I like the Traverse City red wines (pinot noir is a new favorite). (Aren't you from Michigan, Beavs?) You should go on a wine tour. That is a cheap way to try lots of different wines. I only sample the reds, since I know that I don't like the whites at all. If they know that you intend to...

A small bowl of Kashi Cinnamon Harvest with some skim milk is my favorite! The milk helps me feel full and I love all things Kashi!!! Jenn

I work in a school, too, Gayle and see the exact same thing. It is so sad to see these poor sick kids who just want their mommies :( Then we have to call and wait for someone to come and pick them up. It breaks my heart :( AND it makes me MAD:mad:!! These parents know their kids are sick...

Another victim of the flu here :( It has hit us hard for a full week!! It is not fun at all!! Coughing, aching, fever...They have even closed many of the schools in our area, since there are not enough students present to count it as an instruction day (more than 25% gone!!) Flu, flu go...

I typically pay $100 per full day (including an overnight). So if we go away for a weekend and leave late Friday night and arrive home Sunday around noon, I would pay probably $225. I also leave money for incidentals (pizza or other easy meals), maybe $50 and don't ask for change. If they...

A topic near and dear to our hearts!!:confused: I posted about this about a year ago and looked for ideas and you guys came through! THis year we are trying for ONE fundraiser only, a walkathon/silent auction. All of the items for the silent auction have been donated and the walkathon is...

I read The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society this summer and loved it! I finished my book last night, too (Lipstick Jungle), and am now reading book 9 of the Debbie Macomber Cedar Cove series (well, I will be starting it today!). This is very light reading, but I like it! I...

Lipstick Jungle which is pretty good. I bought it from Amazon upon the recommendation of one of these horrible threads (just kidding :) These threads just help feed my addiction to reading!!) I always love these threads and just keep adding to my list!! I actually just started a lending...

**happy that DD is finally on the mend from the flu (It's been almost a week!) **happy that the doctor was WRONG and Mom does not have liver cancer! **happy that the schools closed for so long due to above illnesses and we all have a chance to fully recover! Great thread!! Jenn :)

He should drink lots of water all the time (to prevent future ones from forming). They can do something called lithotripsy (sp?). I think that is non-invasive. They have lots of other ways besides surgery. It depends on the type of stone, size, location, etc. Someone I know just had a...

This woman cooked in a crock pot every day for one year. See if she has any recommendations on her blog. If nothing else, she has some great recipes!! http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/ Jenn

Bethany~ I had it done, too. Mine was about 12 years ago though. I had the same issue with the valium. They wanted to give me TEN mg and I refused and took half, which was still plenty!! I had some halos at first, but for only about a week. I have had perfect vision ever since! I am 40...

Someone earlier was thinking of "Beaches" with Bette Midler. The one that gets me is "Life" with Michael Keaton and Nicole Kidman. That one is unbearable! He is dying and she is pregnant and he videotapes himself talking to their unborn child. Couldn't even talk! Had to cancel plans after...

Ys, I read The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society this summer! I also loved it!! I have recommended that one to lots of friends, too. I will look at the other suggestions, too and spend the rest of that giftcard!! Thanks for the suggestions!! Jenn :)

The Help was such an awesome book! I loved every page of it!! I loved the characters and the writing. Thanks to all the book lovers here who recommended it! I had a giftcard to Amazon and ordered it (along with 4 others!). I loved it and recommend it to others. It was about 3 women in...

I like them both but I like the first one better (especially in red!!). For me it would come down to price. If I liked them both very well, I would buy the one that was less expensive! Under $200 is a great deal for that dress!! Good luck!! Jenn :)
