    Is there a particular scent you like?  There needs to be scratch and sniff internet, because I have no idea how I can decide whether "All Hail the Queen" smells better than "Narcissist" soap. 

    That's the kind of thing I want. They have plenty of money, so getting them something they could get at a local store isn't going to feel special, if that makes sense.  I want something that will feel like a nice new discovery, maybe from a shop they haven't heard of.  

    I really like the narcissist scent. Buff City just opened in our town. All of the scents smell pretty good. You can't go wrong with selecting some from there. 

  2. Allegria. I went back to work this year and am standing on concrete floor. I went to talk to my favorite shoe person about what would help & this is what she sold me. Game changer! They have saved my feet many days. I went and bought a second pair because I loved them so much.

  3. Yes, magnesium and potassium will help with leg cramps. Trying to fix it today with those foods will probably help, but won't eliminate it for tonight. You need to be consistent with magnesium and potassium.

    I follow this protocol - https://therootcauseprotocol.com/. They don't recommend the calm because it's citrate and can cause other health issues. 

    For potassium, I take this daily - https://www.jigsawhealth.com/products/adrenal-cocktail-wholefood-vitamin-c

    I also take the Jigsaw B free magesium from the same place.

    Ernest. I am sorry, but the Ernest movies are the only things that comes to mind. Dh likes the Ernest movies and doesn’t see a problem. He says no one knows the Ernest movies, but everyone I know does. His second choice is Earl which was his grandfather’s middle name. However it is his paternal grandfather so his last name got passed down, so I feel no pressure to use his name.

    I will say Ernest isn’t a bad name if it weren’t for the the Ernest movies or Ernie from Sesame Street. 

     

    What are the Ernest movies?

    Maybe for upper level jobs but I don’t for a min think benefits for entry  level are that complicated. 
     

    But oh well. I have impressed upon him how important it is to find out what his health insurance is going to cost him. Both in premiums, deductible, cookies, and out-of-pocket max. What is your things that are not easy for a 21-year-old to realize how important they are

    I sure hope you haven't instructed him to ask about all of that in the interview. He should ask a generic question about insurance, but not all of that.

    Yes I see that but why not? 
     

     

    There are way too many variables on health insurance and the employment package. Companies use the benefits to negotiate with the employee. It's not a one size fits all type of thing. There are family rates, single rates, etc. My husband has to have a physical each year as part of his health insurance for work. They also change insurance companies every few years too, it seems. There would be no way to post that information for someone that is coming in for a first interview.

  7. I would pay her. I would not say, I know you would do this free. Instead, I would tell her how grateful you are that you don't have to worry about the kids knowing that she is watching your kids. College students are busy with classes, homework, friends, etc. Be thankful that she took the time to watch your kids and pay her for her time.

    The child in question is throwing pencils and the occasional water bottle . It’s hardly in the same sphere as flipping tables. 

    I have a friend whose daughter almost lost an eye because her son threw a pencil and it hit the eyeball. I think she had to get stitches. It was pretty bad.

    I would say that throwing pencils can be dangerous. I would absolutely catagorize them in the same catagory.

  9. A 10 year old is perfectly capable of scrapbooking. I don't see why you would

    make her wait to start scrapbooking. I have a room full of supplies too. I would rather my granddaughter use them than they sit for years and never get used. 

    Even if something gets ruined, who cares? Sitting in a box is no good to anyone.

    Twenty years ago this was probably a safe assumption. Times have changed. 
     

    Jean, bring some safe food. Something brown bag/picnic-like that won’t spoil in case there is a meal planned and they actually do serve food you can eat. 
     

    eta reading thru I see that you have decided to bring food, I think that’s wise. FWIW I thought you were going to ask what to wear and I would have answered that navy blue is always good for a 6pm wedding 😂

    I would say the majority still serve food. I am in the wedding industry and follow several messasge boards that discuss weddings. Meals and food are pretty important to many couples. Menus, tastings, and caterers are talked about a lot. The last weddings that I attended had an abundance of food - appetizers, 3 course meal, and cake, along with a desert snack after the dancing started. 

    I really wouldn't say that times have changed that much. Maybe there are some areas of the country where they are throwing etiquette out the window.

  11. If she is listed as the beneficiary of those, he has no claim to them. The letter is a scare tactic. He's hoping she'll just sign them over. He has no right to them and she does not need to sign them over to him.

    I would go on vacation.  The 10 days is a bully tactic too.

    I think it might be more like 7 hours from Nashville....   but Branson, MO has a lot of fun and interesting things and you could stay in one place for the whole week.   

    This was going to be my suggestion too. Lots of different activity choices or you can just hang out at a condo. Silver Dollar City has lots of rides, but also shows to see if one doesn't want to ride. 

  13. That would be exactly what I would say. This has completely blown out of proportion. She knew the room was needed by her brother. She knew she needed to get the room packed up and "tried". She was probably waiting for you to say that she could take all the time she needed, as it seems you have allowed this many times.  

    Nothing has been thrown away, nothing read, nothing misplaced. 

    It's time to move on.

    See I think I have a difference of opinion on a critical factor here. People keep saying that it's Ann's house, but it's DD's things. Ann let her put them in her house. She doesn't get to mess with them because they're not hers. If she had given the due date it would be different, but this was a surprise. That's why I said give the date now. Once that date hits it's fair game.

    I would think that the wedding was the date. If one is old enough to marry and move out of her parent's house, one is old enough to take care of the items that they want to take with them.

    Her tantrum is ridiculous. She is a married woman in a new house now. It's time to grow up.

  15. It's an invitation, not a summons. You don't have to go or send a gift. Since you haven't seen them in years, I would say it's pretty gift grabby.

    But, as far as is that common, yes, very common. The diaper raffle will allow a guest to win a prize. The book instead of a card is to pretty common. They would rather you spend the card money on a book instead. And the registry is so they get the items they would like for baby.
