I'm so sorry for your loss.

:grouphug:Prayers for both of you.:grouphug:

There are light, heat, cold block-out blinds that offer complete privacy. They are more expensive, but help with the heating and cooling.

:grouphug:Poor little guy, hugs and prayers for both of you.

:grouphug: I'm so sorry.

Aww, hugs and prayers for mom and baby.

:grouphug: I love a happy update.

What a beauty. Congratulations~

:grouphug:I'll be praying here too.:grouphug:

Dust is normal here, open a window or door and there you go:glare:.

Columbia coats are another great cold weather choice. Most have a fleece zip out inner coat that can be worn separately as well as the top shell. It's like three coats in one. Windbreaker, fleece jacket, and super warm winter coat. They also come in temp ratings. LL Bean, Lands End are the others we wear. We moved to a cold winter place, and I'm shocked at the normalcy of owning more than one winter coat. :001_huh: Don't forget the other layering essentials to staying warm. Pointelle silk, scarves, gloves, hats, warm socks and slippers. The LL Bean slippers and silk long-johns are my favorites.

That would be a lot to budget for a field trip, but individual cost per child isn't that high. Have you offered to barter. I helped clean out stalls when I was a kid, so I could ride for free.

I think marble is gorgeous. My sister lived in Italy and had the most beautiful floors and counters. Congratulations on your new home and kitchen.:001_smile:

:grouphug:Pamela:grouphug: Aww, you poor thing. Remember there has always been evil in the world and plenty of mean people. I'm sorry you are so hurt by them.

Spread on fresh baked bread.

Peela,:grouphug: I'm just learning about testosterone/teen boy thing.:grouphug: My dh asked what I thought my ds would do once his sister moves on. Neither of us see him happy at home doing lessons on his own. Strange to know homeschooling will end one day and then what... I wish you all a wonderful transition.

I didn't realize there was a difference purchasing on ebay or other places. I'd still pursue the refund. Did you receipt show a date mailed. It sounds like the dealer sent the small package with delivery conf. as a way to cover his hiney. I'm really sorry for you and your dd.

I've gotten that occasionally too. Comments like, "He really shouldn't know that yet, because he'll be bored in high school." On the other hand, they've considered my kids way to lacking in worldliness.tongue_smilie:

:iagree: Either it was open or defective. ***fwiw, I'd put an ice-tray or something with warm water inside it and make sure the door is closed. If it isn't frozen after a few hours, I'd insist on a refund or exchange.

:grouphug::grouphug::grouphug:Goodness, I'm sorry.

:hurray: Congratulations to both of you.

Very pretty name, congratulations on the baby girl.

:hurray: Congratulations~
