Just Googled it. Several malls had fights start at the same time. Why?!

I shattered the glass on my Windows Phone. twice. Dh had been trying to get me to get a new phone for a while as I have been praising the fact Apple products are superior. After teasing dh that I dropped my phone just so I could get an iphone, the wifi issue came up. I think I am about to eat my words. :o

Thank you for all the possible solutions!! Dh and I plan to try all of these until we get it figured out. Someone asked what models the phones are, one is a 5 and the other two (one brand new, the other a year old) are both 6's. I ordered the new ones off of Amazon. If we can't figure it out, we will likely sell or return (if possible!) and keep our perfectly good windows phones. I did shatter my screen, but fortunately dh knows how to replace it as he's done it for me before. I

We can't connect to wifi on our iphones. Our wifi works and connects with other phones, computers, and Apple products. Our iphones connect to public wifi networks. Why not here? I've spent literally hours on the phone with Apple support, rebooting router and modem, updating software, forgetting network, etc. What now? This will eat up my cell data quickly!! Please, help me, hive!

We basically do this, though our situation is a little different. We use indian health and drive 45min+ to our appointments. Fortunately, they group them and we can do them in just 2 trips. Our dentist and eye doc are local, and we use urgent care for any appointments that can't wait. It is worth it to us to avoid the fines, yet still get stellar, affordable care.

I was going to say this. :) Don't the Bates have a daughter named Micheal?

Free. Granted we've always found alternative ways to pose with Santa that may not available to everyone. Our church used to do a night with Santa Christmas party. One of the members would dress up and the parents would pre-purchase the presents to hand out. Our current neighborhood does a Christmas party with Santa. We just snap photos with our cell phones. Occasionally, other events have Santa like our local Christmas light display or a music concert. If we didn't find these opportunities we would skip it. Paying upwards of $50 for Santa photos is not going to happen here!!

We've scaled waayyy back. In a previous post I listed our 12 days of Christmas gifts, basically 12 super small gifts or family outings over 12 subsequent days instead of the usual build up to Christmas morning with 3 minutes of unwrapping chaos. I also let the kids put up the decorations. All of them. I didn't micromanage. The back of our tree isn't decorated. I. don't. care. Oh, and they forgot to add lights to the tree, so no lights this year. ;) Christmas Day falls on a Sunday, so instead of our usual Christmas dinner fare we will have junk foods in crockpots, after morning worship service. Things like cocktail weenies and Velveeta cheese dip. Breakfast will be mini cereal boxes and other junk foods in the stockings. I'm not cooking. One thing we did do this year was minimal lights on the house. This was the first year we've had outdoor lighting, so everyone is giddy about it.

Bumping for update in OP.

Thank you all!! heartlikealion, I did sent out a Facebook message, so that should cover most of my regular contacts. hornblower and NorthwestMom, Will definitely try both of these. J-rap, We have one drive. Hopefully it has a function like this. I did order an iphone as a replacement phone. zyxwvut- Excellent idea! Carol and Lizzie- Will try these.

I dropped my phone and can't access the touch screen. Dh was able to pull all my photos, contact list and calendar. I have a couple of crucial, time sensitive texts I am waiting on, and am afraid I may have already received them. Is there a way to view them online? We tried a projection software, but you have to click on your phone's touch screen to use it, which I can't do. It's a Windows phone being used with Net10, if that matters. __________________________________________________________________________________________ ***Update*** After reading zyxwvut's suggestion dh remembered we still had dd's old Windows phone. He put my sim into her old phone and it worked!! I lost texts from last night until about 1:20 today, but am able to access the rest. Thank you so much!!!

Love the bath pouf and umbrella ideas!! We always include breakfast and snacks. This year it's mini cereal bars, rice Krispy treats, animal crackers, and mini goldfish packets. Older girls are getting face masks, younger children bathtub finger paint soaps. Everyone is also getting lip balm. Other things we've included in years past... mini flashlights mini hand sanitizers gift cards pocket tools

Good questions!! What if the electricity goes out? Will you get a running total during shopping? Where are the prices listed? In app? What if there is a glitch in prices? Happens all the time at the local grocery.

Quill, your post makes me sad. :grouphug: I am glad you are able to create new memories with your children.

Is it sad that I can't really remember? I do remember a bike and doll. Another year was a pair of earrings that I had asked for. We've done big Christmas, without meaning to. Most of the things were not much $ or were needed. One year my dd's got bedding. Another I literally printed doll house accessories and got a big Crayola art set. Yet another year we found this wooden train table with wooden trains, fake lego style blocks and other toys for $20. It was awesome!! We've decided to break the mega present buying cycle and give experiences and family games. Not ski trip or Club Med experiences, but more like a trip to Krispy Kreme or dollar movie theater as a family.

About the clogged holes, I've found the best way to unclog them is to fill the cup with water and seal the top with your hand. Flip your hand over and squeeze the cup. The water is forced through the holes and quickly clears any clogs.

Yes! A quick Google search on anatomy helped me figure this one out. When you sit your internal anatomy is more horizontal so pushing it more back instead of up makes a big difference! Don't click unless you want an anatomically correct illustration....https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5254be44e4b0e9fd10b5bc42/t/538cccd6e4b0573d137a0eea/1401736415502/

Yes! Yes! Yes!! Yes! I was a counselor at a summer camp when I was 18 and was very rudely told to find my counselor and not to wander around. :001_rolleyes: I was 21 when oldest dd (who is nearly 20) was born and any time someone finds out we are mother and daughter they are always surprised. I feel badly for her, because I am sure she doesn't appreciate being told she looks similar in age to her 41 year-old momma! Also, I have 9 kiddos and I get similar responses as Janie Grace, "You don't LOOK like you've had 9 kids!!" What does someone who has 9 kids "look like" anyway? (Bolding in quotes mine)

Yes, this. I used to work for an ice cream and dairy store that would replace ice creams that fell to the floor soon after purchase. Usually it was a small child and it was almost immediately spilled, therefore likely not positioned on the cone correctly anyway. Because of this, I do ask for a replacement if a child of mine spills in a similar situation. Never through fraud. Nor as an adult who spilled. Adults can suck it up, buttercup. Small children spilling is a little different and, of course, the restaurant can always refuse. As for the Starbucks couple, ugh, just ugh! They are part of the reason goods and services cost what they do.

It's contagious, but with proper hygiene no one else should catch it nor should it spread. I agree with previous advice. Take precautions and enjoy your day.

I don't see any difference between that and giving 2 math credits for doing geometry and algebra 2 in the same year. Most uni's are looking for an evenly balanced transcript that doesn't taper off in total number of credits toward the senior year regardless of difficulty of classes taken, and number of credits per type of course, ie: 4 math credits, 3 science with lab, etc.

I've had the best results with dollar store tests. Much better than their more expensive counterparts. Congratulations!!

Hmm...weird about the PM's. I sent a message to the WTM moderator. Thanks for letting me know the problem. arctic_bunny PM'd you too.

Thank you! PM sent.
