  1. they are in the upper 50's-low 60's and yeah....that was my gut thought for them as well....but I have no experience as I have not made a big move like this myself in 25 years. Thank you.
  2. Friends are moving about 700 miles from their current home. They have been in their current place for about 30 years and they have a lot of stuff. They are sifting through their belongs and downsizing for sure. They are moving into a home that is similar in size to their current home. But the main question is about the physical moving. They are planning on getting a moving company (yes, they are aware of the cost of that), but were wondering if it made any sense (money or time wise) to rent at least one U-Haul truck and move some things themselves. They know that moving companies charge by not only square footage of space, but also weight. So they were contemplating moving some of the heavier things, like boxes of books (he is a bookoholic)....or actually just anything. They don't know enough about weighing that out to make sense of that. I told my friend that you guys are a wealth of knowledge and experience and if anybody would know....it would be the hive. So, I know you won't let me down. 😊
  3. I have an over abundance of ground pork sausage and brats in my freezer. I need some creative recipes to use these up. Send me your best ideas. Thanks.
  4. just so you know, the buttons are VERY secure. They are not the "safety" buttons that only go through one layer of the stuffie.....they are actually sewn all the way through the head and tied on the other side. They are not coming off unless they are cut. Thanks for the color and pacifier idea.
  5. I have just discovered a love for making hand knitted items on a knitting loom. I wanted to start making baby blankets and little stuffed animals for gifts. But, do young moms these days appreciate those kinds of things or are they more interested in store bought items? I know that it is something that will be different from mom to mom...but I was just curious if anybody has any insight into this. These are a couple things I have made and I am now working on the striped blanket and although the picture makes it look like one of the sides is wonky...it's really not.... so the question is...would a young mom these days like something like these as gifts and would use them? thanks for your opinions.
  6. Yeah, that is our current insurance situation. We know many people who have done it using our exact insurance. My daughter's husband is on his parent's insurance too. It goes until they are 26 years old....the grad school thing is our situation....it based on age for our insurance. We are basically waiting for them to have a job where they will get insurance. There will be one year where they will be over 26 and he will still be in school. We aren't sure what they will do for that year yet.
  7. Thanks to all of the wonderful people in the hive that gave me their opinion on the shared medical cost companies. My conclusion is to move on to another idea. This is our situation. My husband is self-employed and we need to look into cheaper medical insurance. We do not have any health problems. We have 3 kids..daughter who is married and while her husband is in grad school we were keeping her on our insurance (which we can do until she turns 26) and 2 college aged sons. we would need dental, eye and prescription coverage too. My husband is in his low 60's and I am in my mid 50's. If you have insurance that is not provided by employment, what do you have? thanks.
  8. Thank you for your help in this. We greatly appreciate it.
  9. Might you be willing to share which one you use now?
  10. can you tell me more about this? do they ask you directly what religion you are?
  11. they are on my list to call. So, thanks for that.
  12. interesting.....I thought I saw that they do cover "regular" stuff...guess I better start reading between the lines to find out for sure. thanks.
  13. Has anybody here used or is using a medical cost sharing type insurance? ( Medishare, Liberty Healthshare or Sedera....to name a couple). I am looking for thoughts and opinions about these kinds of companies. I need a family plan and we would like to have the option to seek alternative (more natural) doctors on occasion and have those be covered. Is that an option with these companies? I just don't really know how these work or how reliable they are to come through for you when you need them to. How much extra work on our side it is. And ANYTHING else you can share. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!
  14. it's called a 10 stitch blanket....look for a video by Wambui on you tube...it's the easiest video to follow. It's long, but so worth your time. I thought about doing a temperature blanket in this pattern, but wasn't sure how to do it. If you figure it out, let me know.
  15. pretty.....did you make this?
  16. I am amazed as to what you can do on a knitting loom.....you tube has tons of videos....check it out!
  17. thank you. But will they make usable baby blankets? That is what I am trying to figure out.
  18. These are 2 blankets that I started. They aren't perfect as I am just learning....but I am thinking the weave is good and so is the weight. But I would love to hear your opinions on these. Would you like to have a blanket like this for your little one? The colored yarn is a Baby Bee from Hobby Lobby yarn and the blue is Premiere Puzzle yarn from Walmart.
  19. what was your favorite yarn to use? and how big did you make them? thanks.
  20. I want to make a homemade (knitted) baby blanket for someone special. I am struggling with a couple things. 1) if the weave is too loose, will little toes and fingers get caught or something? 2) do people really use hand knitted blankets over flannel ones or fleece ones? 3) if I were to make one, what size is ideal? I would love for this to be a loved item for years to come, not just used once in a while while the baby was tiny (yes, I know that is sort of up to the parents and the child...but I would love it if both would love this blanket so much that it might become their "go to" item.) so with that in mind, what are your thoughts on the subject? thanks for your input on this.
  21. I just spoke to my brother, who checked with his IT guy and he suggested that I get a gmail email account and close down the AOL account. He said AOL is so old that the security isn't want it needs to be compared to the hackers out there now and that I was an easy target. So, I am making a list of all of the people, websites and accounts that I will need to contact in order to make this change. I also have emails that I want to keep, so I need to find out how to move those over. SIGH...this is going to be a HUGE job I fear.
  22. I did find in my settings that I can block everything that doesn't come from a person in my contact list...so I might try that...unless someone here thinks that isn't a good idea for some reason.
