I don't understand why you would feel the need to hide anything. Your cousin chose to not invite some relatives, so the relatives can address that with her if they want to know why. If you are asked why they weren't invited simply say you don't know why but if they call the cousin I'm sure she has a reason.

Mine doesn't. Also, I didn't walk in with my wallet. I find wallets and purses extremely inconvenient so I often don't carry either. My money is usually in my pocket and anything else I should need when entering a store. I should not need photo ID to return something if I have the original receipt and they are able to refund the amount to the card they have on file.

I get a Wii u in that situation. You can still play your current Wii games but purchase new Wii u games if you want in the future.

The morning just goes by too quickly in this household!!! It's 12:30 and I haven't even started school! But I did get a bunch of cleaning done. -clean downstairs thoroughly -get school done -dh call bank about error with car loan!!! -kung fu for kids -figure out what I'm wearing tomorrow for wedding reception -help kids clean their room -clean computer room -clean my room -discuss house projects with dh -pay bills

Its not as if I leave the house intending to not have my license on me. But sometimes I don't for whatever reason. Maybe I took it out of my wallet to have my dh hold so I don't have to carry my purse with me while we were out the night before. Maybe I lost it and have not made it to the DMV to get a new one issued. Maybe I don't have it because I had no intention of driving at all that night but circumstances changes while out and I ended up needing to drive instead of the other person. Shit happens. What is the big deal. In all of those instances, I knowingly or unknowingly chose to drive without my license on me and will pay the consequences if there are any. From what I can tell, in my state, you can be issued a fine but upon proving that you had a valid license at the time of the incident that fine will be dropped.

No, I've never lied about why I'm returning an item, they just have never enforced that policy on my. I've always received a full refund. And on multiple occasions was told to just keep the item rather than shipping it back to them

Its not to punish them, it's to show them that I am not willing to do business with a company with such a horrible return policy on an item that I have the original receipt for when I can give my business to other companies that do not have such a policy. In the case of amazon the second purchase would have never happened because it was purchased off my wish list. Had I purchased it before the other person via amazon they would never have seen the game and been able to purchase it. Also, amazon has never enforces a pay return shipping policy on me for returns that were not their fault so I'm more than happy to risk that. In all likelihood if they did enforce it I would just keep the product and list it for sale on amazon since I already sell things on amazon.

For everyone worrying about me not carrying ID, it's not like I makes a habit of it. This particular instance I didn't have it. I did have a form of photo ID in my car but they wouldn't hold my spot in a long line to get it. As for needing my driver's license to drive, if I choose not to have my license on me when driving then I'll happily pay the fine if I get pulled over and they issue me a ticket. Of the 2 times that has happened I have not been given a ticket.

There is nothing tacky about that. The family will likely file a civil suit against him so his lawyers urged him not to discuss the issue at all and released a statement reflecting that advice.

True there are scams but when an original receipt it present and they can track the return via my card they have on file an id is unnecessary. Why is it an important thing to have a photo ID on hand at all times? I don't need it while driving since I have my license number memorized? I'm not purchasing booze. In the case of an emergency there are plenty of other things in my wallet and car saying who I am. Yes having photo ID is handy but I see no reason to carry it all the time.

So dh and I do our Christmas shopping at Toys R Us every year together. We did it on Saturday and had a lovely time. But later that day I discovered one of the things we got for my dd was purchased by someone else. So, I headed there this evening with the original receipt, the item, and the card I used to purchase it so I could return it. They would not allow me to return the item without a photo ID , which I didn't have on me, even though I had the original receipt. Now I completely understand them asking for ID if I didn't have the receipt or was asking for cash rather than them putting the refund back on the card they had on file but to require photo ID for something with the original receipt is absolutely ridiculous. I happily wrote corporate telling them I will be returning all my purchases for my 3 children and 12 nieces and nephews and taking my business elsewhere from now on. The good thing about it is I can probably get all of these items cheaper on Amazon!

I would have an incredibly hard time giving a dog up to a non family member, even if I knew it could save a person's life. But I own dogs in order to relieve my own anxieties and depression so the bond I form with them is deeper than just owner/pet. I'd be more inclined to lend the dog to the person while they continue to look for another dog that had the same ability. If it were a family member I'd happily give the dog to them knowing that I'd still be a part of that dogs life and would still see and care for it regularly.

Its already 1! I was up most of the night with my feverish dd. She's still feeling run down but the fever seems to be gone. The only thing on my list today is to go Christmas shopping with dh. Every year we drop the kids off with mil and go and do all their Christmas shopping together. Its a bit early this year since I want to be done by the time Advent starts. This is one of my favorite days of the year because I LOVE watching dh in a toystore getting excited about giving gifts to the kids.

But from what the OP said the issue was not brought up by G the problem was brought up by the girls problem with her. I was addressing the other girl's issue with one particular girl. That is their problem not OP. If they have an issue with it they need to address it not the parents or teacher. OP didnt indicate this was an issue for G. If it was G's mom who went to OP and knew her dd didn't know what the issue was then OP might need to help resolve it. But other parents taking their dd's issue and trying to dump it onto OP is not something OP needs to deal with.

No, we won't be making our kids play a sport. I see no point in making them do something like that if they don't want to. My children do martial arts and love it. They chose to start at 3 years old because mom and dad both do martial arts, dad teaches it, and it looked like fun to them. They wanted to start before 3 but the program starts at 3. The only thing I'd enforce is swim lessons until they were confident swimmers

It sounds like you are trying to deal with a problem that is not your problem. This is the girls' problem and they should handle it how they see fit. G is feeling the consequences of her actions and needs to learn that people have every right to not want to hang out with you if you treat them poorly. I wouldn't address the girls at all. I would encourages the mom's to encourage their daughters to handle the situation themselves in a way that is respectful to G. That doesnt mean they shouldn't exclude her if they want to, it means they should discuss their issues with her and let her know why she's been excluded.

Will do! Just text dh to bring his pie book home. It has been in his locker at work for months because he lent it to someone and he only uses it this time of year.

And while you're at it change that apple pie to a bourbon apple pie!!! dh also makes that every year.

Cranberry apple crumb. Dh makes it every year and it's awesome. Its different enough from a normal apple pie that you could make both

I love when the week goes quickly. -drop kids off at sil's house -do 1 hour glucose test (1 hour in the day to just sit and read!! Yes please!) -get school done -mail package - clean downstairs - kung fu for kids Not sure what else if anything yet

Well the entire state of Delaware is Hardee's territory apparently except the northern part, where I live. I can't tell what color northern de is because its too small on the map. I know that them go to burger places here are Jake's and five guys.

It's not a dialect thing. I am from northern Delaware which has a few odd pronunciations but nothing that would cause the confusion. I talked to his mom about it and she pointed out to me that he can't say the difference either. He is in speech therapy and it is a known issue. Since he can't say it apparently when he says it to himself in his head he says it the way he would say it out loud and that is where the disconnect it. He can recognize the difference in words when he reads it but once he hears it verbally and tries to decode it his brain will only say the -ang sound because he's used to hearing himself say -ing words as -ang. So I guess we'll just move on and in dictation when those words come up I will enunciate as best I can and remind him of the issue and help him until he's able to say the correct sounds himself. Thank you all for the input.

Couldn't mail my package because I realized the person I sold books to never gave me their address. Now that I have it I'll get the box ready and make a trip while I'm kid-less tomorrow. Time to fold clothes and watch tv.

How much electronics time do they actually get? if it is a reasonable amount and they are still sneaking around and lying that is one thing. If they get next to nothing and are doing so its because the environment in the house is not feeding a need for technology that they have. I have a hard time with the way you got information out of them. You deceived them and are shocked that they deceived you in the process. They may not have known you were deceiving them when your dh happen to notice the ipod missing but it doesn't matter if they knew. You can't ask for trust from someone if you are not willing to be honest with them. So I would not discipline the lying to you at all. I would discipline the sneakiness and taking something without permission. That would likely be a limit on any ipod access and I'd change the passwords on all things so you'd have to enter it in for them to use it.

A few board games and books.other than that I don't want anything but I'm sure I'll get more. I will be purchasing a dishwasher shortly before or after Christmas that I tried to convince dh to make that my Christmas gift. He wasn't letting that happen
