RETIRED: Target chit chat

Thanks... I plan to mention it to my doc at my next appt. I think it was just a headache though, since it hasn't reappeared and I *was* stressing a bit. (and staring at a very bright puter screen in a very dark room)

I do have a swaddler around here somewhere - it's the "around here somewhere" part that's the problem... *laugh* I do well with the blanket though. I always call it her cocoon - she looks like a caterpiller all bundled up with her head sticking out.



Sorry about the snickers. I think I'd if I developed a pb allergy. Just thinking about it makes me






Thanks for dpci of the mixer - I somehow missed this last time I read/skimmed. What's the price? Can someone hide one at my store so I can get one when we have money again?? *laugh* My beloved pro-kitchenaid died a few months back and we've not taken it to be looked at/fixed yet. *sob* I soooooo miss my mixer.



Well, I chatted with DH last night and he was like, "WHY are you worrying about that???" and he eased my worries a lot. I had forgotten we still had money in the FSA (I think that's what it's called) account, so that should take care of some of the bills - and the rest will just kind of wait until tax return time/get done as the $$ comes in.

I had the same thought about the library. We used to have a program in Ohio for the holidays (easter, thanksgiving, christmas) where they would forgive a fine for each perishable good that you brought in.

I hate to admit it, but my fine is up to $30 now. I had gone about a week before Mavis was born to get books for the girls and stupidly took out a huge stack. Then came home, had the baby, and promptly forgot about them having to be back. I feel like a huge dufus. I'm hoping to maybe see if they'll forgive a part of them on the account of having the baby, or make some kind of deal for me. I could even offer to volunteer or have dd volunteer.



Yes, they do! Thanks! I'll pm ya.



That's my plan - going to sit down and call all the medical places and see if they will wait and/or make a deal.

I hope you feel better soon!



Wow. Just wow. Makes you want to someone!



We must share a brain...





this works pretty good for Mavis too... and helps cut down on the gas. I've been a little leery of doing it at night with her congestion starting up again, but I do let her sleep like that during the day when I can see/hear/check on her. All my kids have been belly sleepers.

Just don't make the mistake of mentioning it to the ped! I had a doc once that gave me such a lecture I thought for sure I'd have CPS on my doorstep by the time I got home!! (we found a different ped...)


And... for the good news...



I had a great shop at T and am now the owner of 2 new (and nice) towels!!!

I also found a fantabulous jedi who invited me back tomorrow when he works 10-2 (we were chatting about a local event he's helping promote and he's going to bring a flyer for me...) Yeah... I knew it was great when he says to the coupons "I wish you'd just go through - you know I'm going to push you through anyways..." And then to me, "I just put them all through. I don't care if it says 'item not here' or what..."

Yeah, so guess where I will be tomorrow morning around 10ish??? (God willing, of course)

The bum thing is that I was going to (gasp) get 2 cake mix boxes while there, but totally forgot them. Guess I'm making a cake by scratch after all. GRR.

I did not tempt fate and take the little kiddoes to Kroger. Figured baby would need to nurse and toddler was probably at her max tolerance for shopping.

First, yay on the great run..And wow your jedi told you his time..Make sure you are able to do more runs when he is working...

And I did mention it to my ped abt DD....He was actually cool abt it and told me to be very careful if I put DD on her belly..Make sure I can watch her and stuff...But it all worked out great and it is just a matter of time before she starts rolling and then you wouldn't have to worry abt her sleeping on her belly...And we always co-slept...

Allergy season has hit with a vegenance here ,
I know this is really gross but have you tried a neti pot ? Or a squeeze bottle with salt water solution ? I'll go hunt yo down a video. BRB

This works wonders and I have chronic sinus problems..not so much anymore

you can also do this using a squeeze bottle with a narrow tip ,or a squeeze bulb ,like a suction bulb for ba bes.

I use 1/4 tsp salt 8 oz of water.


Here it is with a bottle http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yO...re=related

ok, so here we docile folks are trying to cure nausea and drain sinuses and wring laundry and mount flatscreens to walls... but over on the other side... dramaaaaaaaaaaa.

i think i'm going to go ... in my bed.

The box of K-cups has a strength chart on them, it shows whether the coffee is light, medium or bold. You'd probably want the light or even some of the medium ones. In my opinion, these 3 are very light and not bitter tasting:

Tully's Kona
Green Mountain Nantucket Blend
Coffee People Donut Shop (the lightest, too light for me to enjoy)

You should buy a combo pack if you can find one, that way you get to try out several types. Even though you prefer mild, it's quite possible a stronger flavor of a certain brand will taste good to you.

HTH, Enjoy your machine!

I usually just use a nasal spray and aspirin. Most cold/flu crap makes me feel worse than being sick. Nasal spray keeps my head open and I feel human. I just got 10 new bottles from Walgreens last week. Never tried this kind but I have a feeling I will be testing it.
