    I finally have a decent picture of the 4 of them

    Wonderful photo, Dan. They grow up so fast. Beautiful family. Where are the girls, though??? Tell Vince and Natalie to keep trying for those girls. :)

    what car ideal for 80 yrs old?

    Another reason the CRV might fit him better is the seating. In a minivan and suv you sit with your legs straight down. In regular cars you sit with your legs out in front of you. If you have bad hips or knees this can put a lot of strain on your joints and cause pain. I also find it much...

    cantilever umbrella

    Have you considered a sun sail shade? They come in many sizes and shapes for the area you want to cover. Try a google search if you are not familiar with them for images. These are quite cost effective. I have seen some for about a hundred dollars.

    Patio awning replacement

    We just had this same situation. My awning frame is 10 x 18. When we bought the house 17 yrs. ago we had my BIL make us a cover. He did apholstery at that time. He no longer can. We had him make a flat rectangle with grommets all around. We use the nylon zip ties to stretch it across the...

    HVAC experts- run AC fan setting auto or on ?

    When you put the setting on 'auto' the air conditioner or furnace will come on when the temp you set it for is not met. The fan will blow only when the unit is working. If you put it to 'on' the fan will all the time. ALL the time. Frankly, it drives me crazy to have it on all the time...

    Has anyone heard an update for/from C.Ann?

    I haven't been here for a long time but just found this post. I am so sad to hear the news about C.Ann. She has always been one of my favorites. Sending lots of good thoughts and wishes to her and her family. :grouphug:

    Dear Lord, We pray for the Godless heathens in England.....

    Is this a LDS mission or another church? LDS missionaries go everywhere and they actively spread the "word" to recruit members. My own experience is that they don't do so much helping the poor as trying to knock on doors. Again, this is my own experience and may not be completely accurate...

    Somebody's been shopping at Target

    I learned very early on that debit cards aren't as safe as credit cards. We have a credit card that isn't connected with our bank or accounts. We also have a 'ATM' only card. It isn't a debit card. We had to fight our bank a bit to get them but they renew them without fuss. That card...

    Any Honda Civic owners?

    Does no one ever consider the Toyota Rav4? My DH replaced his Miata this past winter. He was getting pain in his hip and neck. Guess a 6'3" guy has his limitations. He looked at the Honda, Subaru, Kia, and so forth. One of the biggest things was cargo room. The Rav has a lot more than...

    Worried/cat throwing up and scratching bum

    When one of our cats was young he chewed up some string and part of it was passing but would retreat back up into his bowels when he would go. The vet ended up keeping him for a day and giving him some lubricating type of medicine to help him go and it passed. Otherwise it could mean surgery...

    11 1/2 year old lab with cancer-what to do?

    We just went through this situation in July. We got a dx of liver cancer which was a real surprise. Our guy was just 8 yrs old. He was too far along for any treatment. We got two weeks more time with him but the last few days were really bad. Unfortunately it was over the weekend so we put...

    Best amusement parks

    I have always lived within an hour of Cedar Point and unless you are a coaster freak most people we know don't go. I have to admit I am older now. It has always been lauded as a great coaster park. It is beautiful around here. We have decent weather most of the summer and the area has grown...

    Just shaking my head

    OP, I agree it is difficult to hear hurtful things expressed. I am nearly 60 and do remember many of the things which were portrayed in the movie. That said, I live in Ohio. Our small town had only one black family but I did play with the children at times when I was young . My parents never...

    DIS moms...HELP!

    My little monsters are 26 and 28 now. My oldest had reflux and I used to let him nap in my snugli. I always used it with him facing me so his head would be on my chest. I could feed him his bottle and rock with him and he would drift off. He was able to keep the milk down much better and...

    Tips for dealing with a nosy neighbor

    I think many of us have nosy neighbors we just don't know about. I think I would say that you appreciate her interest but your family values your privacy. I don't think there is harm in saying you are a nurse and you work at so and so. I would then thank her that your mind will be at rest...

    OK I literally just got kidnapped.....

    This happened to us many years ago. We had two hungry youngsters and after more than an hour we let them loose inside the dealership. They had a lot of fun playing with all the sets of keys on the easel. They had them all mixed up. I figured it was payback. :goodvibes :confused3

    Car dealers are so funny

    We also bought through the Costco program and saved a lot. They were more than $3,000 less than the other dealer for a better vehicle. I have no idea how it worked but I'm happy. :goodvibes

    Does anyone have a rechargeable lawnmower?

    Our mower is not working well and the yard looks bad. Both DH and DS just don't seem to care much but DH has been traveling a lot. I would love to see them get a rechargeable. I am tired of the noise and the pollution. Our neighbor's mower really smells awful and comes right into my family...
