With my boys, we have had some people get 1 card for each, some get one card for both. Honestly, we don't mind either way. We have had some get a gift for each, while other's get one gift they can share. I may be of no help here, but we don't mind either way. Here lately, my boys get excited about getting their own gift card. It doesn't have to be for a large amount.

No advice, but sending :grouphug: :bigear: I'm interested in what others have to say.

:iagree: times are tough, and you really need the money.

:grouphug:

Love this!

:iagree:

I figured I would chime in here since I'm still with West at Home. Pay varies depending on the line group our working. You will always get at least minimum wage for your state. The average is about $8 an hour. Depending on which line you are working for, hours vary. With GE, hours are from 7 am til 10 pm ET. As far as the phone line, you have to have a regular phone line. I have Verizon and just have them turn off my call waiting and voice mail.

It should have provided the email address for the person who sent the funds. :confused: It is quite difficult to contact paypal, not sure why, but I hope you get this resolved soon.

:lurk5: Just giving this another bump, hopefully she'll see it. I did recently receive an email from her recently so I know it has worked out, but I'll let her explain ;)

:iagree: We have been married for 14 years, and we are in a really good place. Right now, it seems easy, but the reality is that it took years of hard work to get there. Lots of hard seasons, but some really good and easy ones too.

We take our kids each.and.every.time. Nothing wired about it. As far as they won't learn anything, yeah ok. My kids are 11 and have always gone with us. The poll workers even know them by name and we don't even live in a small town. :lol:

:lol:

I second Micah Charles, which is the name of a dear friend's ds.

My boys are 11 and apparently due for vaccinations at our last visit this visit. Due to my boys seizure history, I was uneasy. Yes, they had all vaccinations up until this time, and I don't want to make this a debate about vaccinations. I came across this during my research and this literally made my stomach turn. These were links posted in regards to the HPV vaccine specifically. http://www.citizen-times.net/archive/article/?id=71631 http://www.boston.com/business/healthcare/articles/2010/05/03/nm_woman_sues_alleges_hpv_vaccine_hurt_daughter/

Thanks for your replies! The other moms have decided they want to read it as well, so we'll be reading as a read aloud and then getting together to discuss each week. The goal is to red though the book before we see the movie :001_smile:

Opinions please! We have a book club with about 5 kids. We decided to do one book a month and chose The Hobbit for the month of November and December since it is a longer book, with plans to watch the movie in December. The kids vary between 4th and 8th grade. When I looked up on the Scholastic site as far as level, it shows interest level 8th grade, reading level of 9th. Would this be too difficult for this group of kids?

It really is important to count our blessings. While no one's life is perfect, it's surely important to be grateful for what we do have in our life. I agree with you 100%. I have PILES of laundry (waiting for a dryer replacement knob to be delivered) and no food in the fridge (because I haven't had time to get to the grocery store) but really am so thankful that these are minor inconveniences that don't compare to what many others are going through.

:grouphug: Wow, so glad you are all ok. I can't imagine how scary that would be.

I agree. I think it's important to have a back up plan. I pursued my degree and while I choose to stay home, I know that I have that in the event I do have to pursue employment outside the home.

I spoke to my grandmother and aunt in Brooklyn. They still have power. I have not been able to reach family members in Staten Island or in New Jersey.

Such great advice. This was good for me to hear in dealing with my own tween boys.

:iagree:
