    Photo blankets fleece plush, question if you have ever ordered one....

    I've had several made. The one I had made with just one big picture on it, I used Photoshop to up the resolution of the picture. Like someone said above, if you do a few smaller pictures then it may not be as noticeable if it's not quite as sharp. You can check and see what they're minimum...

    dental fears - anyone ever used ativan?

    Ativan is prescribed as an anti-anxiety medication. It sounds like going to the dentist makes you very anxious. If you have a prescription for it then, of course take it. If you don't already have a prescription for it then contact your PCP about getting a prescription so you can take it that day.

    Do people really tip the pizza delivery person so little?

    I tip about that, too if we get pizza delivery. They deliver the pizza. They don't cook it or box it. They take the box, get in a car, drive it to you & walk to your door to hand it to you. Why would I tip them the same as a waitress/waiter that brings me my entire sit down meal.

    My twins left for college when they were 17. My oldest had already left. He, too was 17 when he left!

    When do you hope your kids will leave the nest?

    My 3 kids have very big student loan payments so living on their own is and will be a challenge until they get good paying jobs. Because we had 3 in college at the same time, we were unable to help with the cost of school. We helped them with living expenses, school supplies, etc. So we always...
