Yes.

I have a sun on my right leg and the solar system on my left leg (they represent my spacey years) - a vine around my belly button (bad choice) - tribal on my lower back (tramp stamp) and I just had a hibiscus and tiger lily added onto two weeks ago - a superwoman logo on my left shoulder (this gets the most comments, lol) - and my name is the 5 languages of past exchange students going down my neck. Ready for more!

They are not illegal in Finland, however most people don't own a dryer. People choose to hang their clothes outdoors in the warmer months, and in the sauna in the winter months.

I took my three girls (and myself) clothes shopping last night. After I had selected 12 articles to try on I asked the young man working at the store for a fitting room. He looked at my clothes and asked, "Are you planning on buying any of them or will I just have to hang them all back up?" Sarcastically I replied, "Would you like to see my bank account before I try them on?" He snickered and said no. Now keep in mind, he still has not made any steps to unlock the dressing room. Then, he continues, "There is a maximum of six items in the fitting room and if you're not going by any then I don't want to have to rehang the clothes; they all have to be put back out on the racks a certain way and it makes me job hard." <insert fumes from me> At that point, I was done in the store. My children had already picked out 10 items to buy, and I was about to add to that number (if I liked anything I tried on). We had a nice-size pile at the register. I told the young man that his tone and comments were rude and uncalled for. He just shot himself in the foot because we were four customers shopping. I put all my things down and told the girls it was time to go. :auto:

Yep.

My kids (2), our current exchange student, and family gifts for a past exchange student - in addition, we bake bread for others.

I didn't enjoy bellydancing, but I do enjoy something similar called Zumba.

Have we done a thread on what you are getting the kids? Here is my list: Dd 8[/b] Something you want: Lyv dolls Something you need: house robe Something to read: mermaid book (can't remember the title) Dd 12: Something you want: rollerblades Something you need: bed light Something to read: journal of animal researchers on the field (can't remember the title) Hungarian exchange student: Something you want: Starbucks gift card Something you need: pajamas Something to read: The Notebook

I agree. When children are that young, of course they want a dog (and a pony). Perhaps a dog isn't in your future; the children will not be scarred if they don't get a dog (or a pony). We've adopted from a rescue shelter before and had to sign papers that the dogs will only live inside. If you are interested in adopting from a shelter, I suggest you find out their policy first.

I never thought of soup! What a great idea. I can buy "soup at hand" and warm it up at the gas station - that will be a time saver (and a money saver) for lunch. We don't do lunch stops because we travel with animals and can't leave them in the car. I should also mention that my kids are older (but that doesn't stop them from being messy).

The requirements are healthy and not messy. Ha! So far I have: apples, bananas, nuts, jerky (not healthy but a must), rice cakes, carrots; what else is there?

r u sur prolly isnt a wrd

My husband is deployed this time, so it's my first Christmas alone. :(

What career would your child like to pursue versus what career would you like your child to pursue? Answers: 12 year old dd wants to be in the fashion industry. I would like her to pursue music. She has been playing for 9 years and plays multiple instruments (well) and I would love for her to use this gift as a career. 8 year old dd wants to be a make-up artist. I think she has a fantastic idea because she has been into my make-up since the time she could walk.

My vet is also in the 6-month camp. My little guy is 4 months old and 2 lbs. He is hoping that my dog will reach 3 lbs before he operates; although he doesn't think that he will get that big.

He was stumped; no answer.

should they tithe? Interesting question on the Dave Ramsey Show this evening. I'm still up in the air about my answer.

My chihuahua started sleeping through the night at about 12 weeks old. It will happen, don't worry!

I know how to make a traditional Finnish Christmas drink, but that is not what you are looking for.:svengo:

I never realized how much we speak of bodily functions until we started to host exchange students.

My class is having a get together in December. I haven't decided if I'm going yet. Maybe I'll go, sit at the bar, and hide behind a menu. :tongue_smilie:

:drool:21 Jump Street - I loved that show!

Thanks! I'll check those places.

Let the punishment fit the crime.
