I have gotten Shutterfly photos in the past, and never had the white boarder on them. I am nowadays too impatient and get prints from the local Walgreens.

Make the green bean and/or sweet tater thingie and eat what YOU like, ...and toss the rest if it won't get eaten. It is once a year, and YOU deserve to enjoy what YOU like as much as anyone else there. Besides, you make the dinner, you get to have your favs! As long as there is other stuff others like, go for it. My mom used to make a congealed "salad" of peas, pickles and peanuts in a creamy dressing that no one ate but her. Here we are having beef tenderloin, pricey but it is just once a year.

Also encourage folks to bring a dish to share. That way they can be sure to have something they like.

Crop the photo so you can trim off an inch w/o cutting off someone's head once you get the photos? So Shutterfly's 4x6, arrange it to have extra space on one side you can trim off later.

May depend on the state. Hubby is an attorney and believe me, he looked into every possibility. Happily we did have pet insurance on Captain, which covered 50% of the cost. But we were still out about $400.

Now that I have read more posts, want to add, while I was waiting at the emergency vet for Captain, hubby called - the police wanted Captain's tag number to look up and prove he had had his rabies vaccinations. The dog that chomped him did not..and w/o proof HE had had his shots, I imagine they would have impounded Captain. If you do not report the attacking dogs, I think the vet will anyway. Hope your puppy feels better soon! PS - do you have a Cone of Shame? If there are any bites on his legs, he may need a cone to prevent incessant licking open of any wounds he can reach (ask me how I know this) :-( We could not get any damages to pay the vet bill since the dog was owned by a renter. Apparently here you can not sue the homeowner for a renter's dog's actions. Or maybe the renters claimed they had no idea whose dog it was - I forget (it has been over ten years now).

I have a large calendar hanging on the door leading to the basement. It is in the kitchen. I check it first thing every morning, and am diligent about writing things down on it...including notes to myself, just before the 15th and the end of the month, to "pay bills". I make note, too, of bills I need to pay on-line. Each month as I, for example, pay the Visa bill I also make a note on the next month a few days before it is due (again) to pay it (we pay the credit card in full each month, too). Bills as they arrive in the mail go right into a small letter-holder that hangs close by. None are left laying around to get lost/misplaced. I am an oddball who still gets most bills via snailmail. I love the Ansel Adams and Sierra Club wall calendars, they are attractive and have large squares on which to scribble all my reminders.

I'd have a vet check out the puppy. Our lab was attached by a pit-bull that broke free of a chain and after the police came and stopped the attack (with a bullet) our Lab ran home. He looked scared and had drool on his fur, too. Took him to the vet through, and they hustled Captain to the back room. An hour later a doped up Lab was brought out with dozens of cleaned puncture marks from being chomped - shaving the fur showed how badly he was bitten. Unless you shave the fur to reach actual skin, you won't know if puppy was bitten or not. If those were 80-lb dogs....:-(

Hope it went well and last night you got to attend your event/show. I finally went in for my over due boob squishing a couple weeks ago and had to stay for extra squishing then an ultrasound - doctors looked at everything before I was allowed to leave but consensus was my new little lump was a result of that dang car crash over three years ago now (yes, my last mammogram was four years ago). A lump of dead fatty tissue from seat belt trauma. Since my poor boob had looked like a friggin' eggplant for weeks after the crash, I am not surprised. I will be more attentive about yearly mammograms now!

My dd had them in her townhome, and it took THREE visits from a pest control place to kill the buggers. Not a fun time.

Modgy Collapsible and Expandable Rize Vase - NOT GLASS Look for these at Amazon. I learned of them since my kid sister put them on her Amazon wish list. They look/are cool and unless filled with water are flat as a pancake. Pretty, too. I think a stash of these would cover any gift-giving situation. They are nine bucks each. Beats another coffee mug.

I have a TON of sets boxed up in the basement since my kids went and grew up on me (drat). Hoping for grandkids living close by eventually - not watch me not get any gk, since I saved so much stuff for them! Playmobile is quality stuff. Not for little kids who may still stick things in their mouths as the heads and event he hair pops off and could choke someone. Check the Playmobile site, too, for clearance/sales.

I would have looked at Person B and asked them "Why didn't you put on your warmer robe?" or, if it is an older person, later on I might make sure a warmer robe is out and hang the cotton robe in the back of the closet. If this is your elderly relative, I'd gently remind them they had a warmer robe "My, it is cold! Would you like me to help you find the warm robe?". If it is a teen complaining about being cold, I'd have gone "Oh! You poor dear! Let Mommy help!" and gone to give them a BIG HUG." That would teach them to complain when they had not the sense to put on the warm robe I had bought them. ;-) My now 21-yr-old dd complains about being cold, as she runs around here in the Midwest in winter wearing little cotton socks on her feet. We have wooden floors in a chilly 1906 house.

Now curious - where does the money come from to pay for the buildings, teachers, insurance, etc? Ok - Googles it. So where does the local state or territory get the money? Taxes? So not a property tax, but still you pay via taxes some other way. Got it. Haven't had my caffeine this morning.

I just made this trip two hours ago with our 20-some year old Princess - vet expected her to go over a year ago but only this weekend did she stop eating (even her fav bits of salmon filet and sirloin I got for her when cat food was rejected) and obviously indicate it was time. When they have had a long, full life it is hard to let them go, but a kindness to not keep them lingering if they are in pain (and kitty cats are experts at masking pain). Princess had shown up, a stray, almost 20 years ago when I was babysitting the neighbor's three kids along with my four. Seven kids ages 10 and under squealing with joy over a cat, petting her, etc. and the cat was so chill about it we just had to adopt her. Think of all the good times you had with Mr. Neelix. You gave him a good life. That final trip to the vet is the hardest part of being owned by a pet.

Depends on the interests of the kid/young adult, but I tend to always include: .new battery-powered toothbrush .Ghiradelli peppermint bark bar .Swedish fish .fuzzy socks (girls) .tree ornament tied to their interest - my 26-year-old gets My Little Pony ones since he is a Brony! his twin with autism gets Star Wars or Simpson characters, etc. this year the two girls are getting those small alarms you keep on your key chain, and since they moved out, R2D2 screwdriver things from Think Geek (on sale when I got them) Some years I get a LOT of stuff from Think Geek and/or Hot Topic, but not so much this year. Pez candy if you see a character they like is fun, too. Or little Hot Wheel/Matchbox items. Silly Putty used to be a standard, too. Oh, and always a foil-wrapped chocolate Santa! College kids could probably use more Command strips to hang posters. Once I got a kid one of those little hammers that you can unscrew the handle and find assort screwdrivers, too. At check-out at the local small hardware store. And - themed duct tape! Every adult kid can use duct tape and now it comes in all sorts of patterns/designs. But I wouldn't give it to a young kid unless you want to see the cat or a sibling in bondage ;-)

Buy yourself something YOU want. Or take time to yourself and ignore housework.

Sure she is an adult, but I would put my foot down and say NO and perhaps mention if I am paying for any of her college, I won't do so if she takes this unsafe, unwise position/living situation. That family is trying to take advantage of an young student with little life experience.

Is the Korean show on Netflix? Searching only gets me Freddie Highmore's version which I already watch and love.

The Crown Gilmore Girls Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is very silly. movies...... Moonrise Kingdom Sand Storm is a very good foreign film - yes, subtitles, but worth it.

I'd ask your sister to shut the teacher down if she starts in again "Oh, you should probably discuss this with the mom". And also ask sister to NOT repeat stuff back at you if there is not much you can do about it.

Is there a Car Max nearby? Otherwise be specific at dealerships that you want to see gently used cars with 30,000 or fewer miles on them. Most of our cars have been that - usually former rental cars so only a year old.

An Instant Pot and recipes. Both my dds have them now thanks to moi, and if DS moves out I am potting him too. That did not come out the way I intended :-)

It is not hard to change a poop bag. Just kinda gross. Could a family member learn how to do it if the gentleman can not do it himself? (I managed to change my bags while still recovering from major surgery etc post car-crash). I agree on contacting the local media etc (and cc the hospitals) about this. Good luck!

Could you shift YOUR schedule? I have a friend here in town who when her hubby got a different shift that required him to work at nights, the entire family shifted to "dad time". When he slept - they slept. They got Daddy around for a couple hours in their version of "morning" and at the end of his shift, too. Bonus - grocery shopping etc. in the "off" hours means fewer lines :-) Isn't one of the joys of doing school at home this ability to be flexible? Just a thought.
