:iagree: Very wise, Rosie.

I'm a 3rd generational pantry/cupboard storer. We like it room temp and have never had it spoil.

Ummm... not sure what happened when you went on, but they ARE indeed available to buy. Perhaps you experienced a server glitch or logged on at a time they were switching around the pages of the main website? Yr 2 and 3 are pre-order right now, and they've just released the Digital Edition.

playing shadow games when you study light, tracing shadows, tracing line art onto walls to make a mural, letting the kids (in older grades) create a presentation... oh and for really cool sleepovers, using it to make a movie theatre. Just some thoughts off the top of my head.

You could get an MP3 player for under $30 and they're just as good as more expensive ones. I like the wallet idea too. Or how about a briefcase, or grown-up lunch cooler with thermos in it? There are lots of books available for young men who are transitioning into adulthood... Focus on the Family has some that may interest you.

We have one, but I'd honestly say to stick with a whiteboard. The gelboard always stays "dirty" looking, unclear... it is difficult to get it completely clean. It's also hard to get a fine tuned look to what you are writing. It is, essentially, a magnadoodle. We have both and magnadoodles are superior. IMO, if you think your dc would like a gelboard, then I'd opt for a magnadoodle. Just my two cents.

WOW. Some people need help! Sounds like they are dealing with their own messed up whatever and had to stomp on you in order to feel better about themselves. Totally rude, uncalled for and just plain vicious. I'm sorry that it happened. Hopefully they'll feel remorse over their words!

Mandarin chinese... what defines a rigorous education?
But what's really funny is what I THOUGHT it said! I thought it said:
Mandarin cheese... what defines a rigorous education? Ah, I love hearing and seeing things. It's so much more interesting! :tongue_smilie:

Aw, please don't stop shipping to Canada! We're nice people here! Cold, but nice! :tongue_smilie: Simply take it to the post office and get a few shipping options. When you get payment, all you have to do is fill out a little form at the post office, which they'll be able to help you out with. Here's the thing, if folks bid from Canada, they know that it will cost a few extra dollars, and they're more than willing to pay that. You're out no money, and you've opened your ebay market to more people. From a Canadian perspective, we appreciate doing business with you and appreciate your willingness to continue selling to us! :001_smile:

NEVER sleep with socks on, and NEVER eat ice cream before going to bed: it'll give you nightmares.
Whatever :001_huh:
I have done both. No nightmares.
Also... NEVER say never.
Never? :tongue_smilie:

If he's working on losing weight, why not get him a watch that measures your heartrate? When he's jogging or walking fast or doing any activity, it will help him to monitor where his fat burning levels are, and where his cardio levels are. You could find a handy chart online and print it off for him.
Alternatively, you could make a slide show presentation (or scrapbook) about his life, and collect little notes from all his friends and family, even people he hasn't spoke to in eons. Always a neat little keepsake. Cheap to do, but does take a lot of time to compile.
Failing that, how about gift certificates to a fine dining establishment? Read: no fast food LOL! :tongue_smilie:

Vegiforms would be cool, as he could mould veggies into cool face shapes. http://www.leevalley.com/garden/page.aspx?c=2&p=51543&cat=2,2200
You could find a top quality gardening store, similar to Lee Valley above, and find some neat books on gardening, reprinted from the 1800's. What about a mini greenhouse, or Wardian Case? http://www.leevalley.com/garden/page.aspx?c=2&p=48554&cat=2,50560&ap=3
A real bonzai tree would likely be a hit, as he could prune it and sculpt it through the years. Paired with a great book about bonzai art, I'm sure he'd find it inspiring.

I've purchased 6 or 7 movies from them. I did stop for several reasons. One of the films is quite scary for children (bearing in mind my dd is sensitive and won't watch Snow White or The Little Mermaid because of the scary witches) and we found that they pushed WAY too much, even after purchasing the movies. My dh did some research and found that they are a mormon organization. Not to open up a debate here at all, but due to our own personal convictions (and their shove-it-down-their-throats sales tactics) we ceased supporting them. This is why you don't find these movies in Christian book stores. That said, the majority of the shows we saw were okay, I mean, "just" okay. The Seventh Brother and Scamper the Penguin were my faves, but we haven't seen them in a few years. Hope that helps.

The "Basic Cozy Essay Course" is great, from Splashes from the River. It comes as a DVD and workbook (or CD to print the pages) and Marie Rackhan, the teacher, is quite endearing. She creates a comfortable and memorable learning experience. :001_smile:
So if you had to buy your 16yo dd something to "play" with. . .

Thinking like a 16 yr old, I'd like a challenging 3D jigsaw puzzle, a great book, a crafty thing that is more grown up than Klutz (wood etching tool, stuff to make your own soap, etc.)
