So glad you're ok!!! Merry Christmas... I'd be taking a shot of vodka so I could relax.... :)

Looks Beautiful!! Makes us wanna be in Hawaii :) Merry Christmas!

The best adrenaline rush I ever got was kinda "following/chasing" down a guy who had shoplifted from Wal-Mart. I was in my van calling 911 and the sheriffs got him!! The called to let me know he had like.... $2500 worth of cds and stuff in his suitcase that he had strolled out with!! Exciting!! Then I got to go testify to the panel that was deciding whether to charge him!! :)

I need to know what rum balls are and how to get or make them!! :)

Yay!! Merry Christmas!! :)

This is Soooo funny! I bought the book when we got our dog... three years ago. I found it at the Goodwill. It did make the way I let our dog sleep in his crate with us... happen :) I also take our dog everywhere, although he stays in his crate in the car as opposed to people inviting him in. Course... he's around 65 lbs of love :)

6 Yrs and 2 Months. He's older..... :)

btw, perhaps some of the other training like... clicker training would work.. :) Small fun pets... I can't think of any.. I liked my squirrel :)

I understand, I do!! From Experience!! And.. on the Vegan thing, can you not take a few things. Wouldn't eat plastic.... (margarine) I've taken my own butter to restaurants.... And, I'd be taking a couple of dishes... So sad that they can't join. I can do no meat... but vegan is too much for me!! :( Sorry!!

Oh so sad!! Crazy news at what should be such a happy time!!

Congrats!!!!!! Enjoy!!

Hey There, I'm not in NJ, but can I just lyk that I SOOOO miss my days there. :) I miss fresh bread.... and Friday Night meals from the local Jewish Deli. Yum... I miss it all :) (Well, I don't mind not being a Nanny:)) :)

Crazy thought, but think about acupuncture, animal massage and also animal chiropractors..... One of these might help with compressed spines... Just a thought.... There are some places here that offer these treatments... The first Chiro I went to, actually started with animals because he didn't have enough "human" business... Good Luck!!

Sorry for you:( That's just crazy sad!! :(

MMMM... I kinda think it looks a bit lunch baggy. It is cute :) I took a look at their others... Do the rest have the Sherpani "labels" on the side? It's exciting that they were 30%... where did you find that sale?? :)

If I had it to do over, I would have got a Kanoe Hammock or an Amby.... A baby carrier... (sling, Ergo and something like a Moby) a stroller like... a MacLaren....(which is what I got) a spot to put baby while sleeping.. while I'm not. Cloth diaper (diaper service quality) a few "night clothes"..... Some easy sweet day clothes... and some wooden toys... (and wooden rattles) Dr Sear's Baby Book Cloth Mama and Br**st Pads for me :) and ... one of the belly huggers.. at least one.. for when i was out and nursing... (goes around...the belly) :)

So, this is how my little boy got around nicknames. It was totally just a natural... maybe too much Southern Calling of his first and middle together... but... He would introduce himself to others saying I'll do yours.. with made up middle and last... for how it sounded... (switching to the female gender, of course) My name is Abigail Elisabeth Smith.... but you can call me Abigail for short. Seriously, no one has ever shortened it to a nickname, because of how he introduces it.... (Well, except immediate family that had a "baby" name for him)

Yup, of course!! They are the fun ones for my to purchase gifts. They. never. complain!! And, the children use the toys to play with the animals. Perfect!! Kitty cat *new* has a new toy to swing around with exchangeable ends. Older Kitty has...hmmm... can't remember, but a gift. (The new kitty was her Christmas gift, right? She finally doesn't find him a curse, at least) And the puppy dog (age 5 :)) is getting smoked trachea. A favorite :)

What do you know :) If you happen to get the eyes... here's a great blog to get you started on eye soup or eye stock. http://bettereflteacher.blogspot.com/2010/02/unusual-recipe-from-colombia-cows-eye.html Yup :) If someone tries it, be sure and start a thread!! I'm pretty sure I'll never be cooking any up! :)

"Originally Posted by dmmosher Yeah, that, and folks who think there will be a package of Eyes in HALF a cow" The little guy from Thailand at the fish out of the fish he brought for dinner. I betcha somewhere that cow eyes are a delicacy. :)

That's crazy!! Sounds like a social worker that needs to experience that ...once in her life. She wouldn't do that to someone again.... "a little stronger"...??? How happy for the family receiving them!! Christmas triplets!! I'd like to find those under my tree ;)

Funny, our little orange bundle of joy, who is 4 months old... has left our tree alone. I was worried, because I thought he'd try to bite the cord. I asked my husband to start the decorations at least a foot up, wonder if he listened to me... I'll have to go check. Other than spraying the cat with water... cats climb trees... it's kinda part of the way they are.... ;)

Try http://getantsy.com/ seriously, I made diapers... I know how much the stuff costs.... You'll get better mileage with a "proven" pant, and it's SOOOOO much easier on the brain :) :)

What a loser the weasel was!! That was very deceptive! It probably would have been horrible to have to work with them... I'd be taking Christmas Candy to the nice ones :)

Oops.. antsys are for "toddlers" and up... although I think my crawler would have been fine with them. For littles, I really like diaper service quality diapers (little sized, not regulars) and then Bummis whisper wrap for the covers. If you want wool, it's very easy to use soft wool shirts like Pendleton... cut in the wrap shape and lanolized. Or... crocheted or knit. Also, if I had another newborn, I would have some ones for when they are little... that are like... the sleepers... they are wool...and you just put the diaper on.. and then the wool protects everything.. Green Mountain diapers may have some. Wool is really wonderful. You just air them out between washes... (You wash about every week or so) :) Just a thought :)
