So it is based on the book.... I only caught the title and a line about "north of the wall", but I wondered if it was based on the book. How exciting!

:eek:

They both sound high to me. I don't know what our insurance paid, but I think we paid approx. 3,000 ourselves, so maybe our original bill was high, also. I "get" paying for facilities and expertise, I really do, but I was at the hospital for about 11 1/2 hours (on the same day) and after my 35 min. of labor and the initial cleanup of the baby, a bath for the baby later in the day, one meal for me, and the clean up of the room after I left, I made no demands on the hospital. I kept the baby with me, used no medication, and Dh kept my water filled. Oh, the nurse did bring me an extra blanket when I was shivering. But still, if the bill was anywhere close to 28,000, it was way overpriced.

:iagree:100% It gets my goat when people assume you must be either ignorant or stupid to believe the Bible.

Once at my inlaws, my MIL provided a rag from old underwear for me to wash the dishes with.

Dh loves my parents and siblings and their families. I love his siblings and their families. His parents are difficult, but his second sister more than makes up for them.

We had our first TKD tournament this morning. It was fun.

I loved this.

I just added a picture to my signature. It doesn't show much, but gives a general idea.

I am positive about everything in the future that is in my control - which is very little. There aspects of the country that I am concerned about. Too much debt, too much entitlement, too much interference in daily lives from the government.

Or show it to her when she is 13 and she thinks her world is ending because of a crush.

We just got them for Christmas. My kids (7,6, and 4) are all enjoying them.

Would she be interested in the Thornton Burgess books?

A keepsake for the baby? Baby Girl got a personalized picture book. A nice bank. A little kit to do footprints/handprints.

Communal. Everything is share and share alike. We each have a vehicle in our name and joint names on the house. We were advised to do it that way for legal purposes. But even though the van is in only my name, it is ours. His truck is a bit different. He gets a vehicle allowance through his work, so his company makes the payments. Since it is a work vehicle, we consider the "truck" to be his, but the "money (that we'd get if we sold it)" to be a family asset.

I don't even know what a Fossil Crossbody is. When Dh got his 10 year award, he wanted to get me something. I thought it was sweet of him, but I told him to get himself something. It sounds like you Dh is very thoughtful whatever a Fossil Crossbody is.

We use Veritas Press Bible which has several years in the OT. Are you looking for anything in particular?

I'd up the score if there was at least one sceen that I could read over and over again for whatever reason. It doesn't have to be a big thing. Like in Mary Stewart's Madam, Will You Talk? when the protagonist is racing the train. Big whoop, she was racing a train, but the writing tickled my fancy.

Another for "ruze".

I recently got a Miele, and I love it; but I'm biased against uprights.

Sometimes hunters use them to keep warm(er).

Please tell me it didn't come out something like a female body part.

Crimson Wife has a point but not every region is like SF. In my parents' town, the superintendent makes over 120,000. For a school system of approximately 300 kids. And he decided to make himself Activities Director for an additional salary. And he (the school board, really, but at his request) hired his wife for some non-job which I can't recall right now. The average household income in that town is probably 40,000 or less. I don't know about all superintendents, but that one is overpaid.
