nod Yup, that's the idea....it will be square and seat 8 - two on each side. It is about 56-57ish inches on each side. Our table is sooooo small right now - it is almost impossible to have many over for dinner. The house is only about 800-900 sq. ft. but we have a huge dining and living room and small kitchen, bath, and 2 bdrms. Oh I can't wait.

Looks like you are off to a great start! Can't wait to see how the finished table looks.

I want a new dining table, too. Big Grin

meeshe, when dh was at sea, I couldn't sleep without the TV on. We didn't have kids until almost 5 years after we married (I can't imagine that eerie quiet now laugh out loud) and it's a habit I can't break. If the satellite goes out, or there is a power outage I can't sleep. Does that count as watching TV if it's background noise while I read?Embarrassment

eta had to share something cool. I had entered a raffle at Borders last week (educator week promotion) while I was there using the lovely 40% off coupon. Accidentally bought How to Train Your Dragon book 4, went back today to get book 1 for dd. When the employee at the promotion table saw me she said to hold on because she had my prize.woot I got a few free books with instruction guides, bookmarks, a reindeer Webkinz and a LEGO Toy Story trash compactor set! Yeah my 8 yr old is all about Bionicle/Hero Factory/ Star Wars sets but the Toy Story stuff is cute too. And, it was free.

And yesterday I found a Nintendo DS Lego Star Wars case (pieces on it are actually Lego) for $4, and a Star Wars tin lunch box DS starter kit/ case with car charger and skins for $2! Yeah, ds and dh are absolutely Star Wars fans. Big Grin

Quote from rachael_9667 :
OMW, you are one of those people.
It's kind of funny. I decorated and did a lot for Christmas for many years. It was all inside but lots of villages, trees, etc. We took a break from school from Thanksgiving thru New Years because we were so busy. We made ornaments every year, cookies, parties, etc. Then we moved 6 hours away and every year we traveled back across the state to spend it with family. It got to where we didn't even put up a tree. We weren't home for Christmas.

Now, the kids are grown, one doesn't even live here. We have stopped traveling on Christmas and, yeah.... Last year was the first year for that but I have already had people in town ask if we are doing it again this year.
Quote from dreemedayze :
I am one of those people. We have a TV in our room, living room, and each kids' bedroom. laugh out loud
We have one in the bathroom. We actually built it into a small closet. It just sort of evolved. There was a large linen closet in the bathroom. I wanted washer/dryer upstairs and we were putting in an oversized jet tub. So, w/d is a stackable, tub is 6' instead of 5', and I have a little bitty closet -- with an opening on the tub side for a tv. Figured no way would hubby ever use it unless he could sit in there watch tv.
Quote from sjm :
On the "Sister Wives" topic, my DH was at lunch the other day and wife #1 and soon to be wife #4 were there eating with their lawyer...
And he didn't eavesdrop and get us the scoop? I don't think Wife #1 is liking the idea of Wife #4 very much. It's just creepy and it makes my skin crawl.... yet somehow, I just can't look away. I have never turned it on on purpose but if I am channel surfing and it's there....
Quote from sjm :
I just switched from Synthroid to Armour a few months ago and I love it! Huge difference in my energy levels. Also found a dr that doesn't just go by "numbers" (blood levels), but goes by how I feel. If you have any questions, PM and I'd be happy to tell you what I know! :-)
Quote from rachael_9667 :
I wonder how much I'd have to take then laugh out loud I'm on 325. My new cancer doc said he was expecting Lindsay Lohan to walk in. shake head Said only one other person is on that high of a dose and he is a 350 pound man. EEK! I'm a buck sixty normally but underneath I am a much smaller person. She just hasn't seen the light of day for about 7 years. LMAO

When I hatch this kid, I'm gonna ask to be on Cytomel and Synthroid as I've heard that that's why Armour works so well b/c it is a version of those two drugs (which both do different things). I'll tell SIL that it's back, she'll be happy!
I'm on 250 mcg of levothyroxine. I just still have stuff, ya know? And I don't think my levo dose is too low. I haven't had a TSH in ages but the last one I was sitting right on 0 and having absolutely no hyper symptoms. At 1.0 I still felt dead.

Anyway, still have some really tired days, lots of muscle weakness, all over pain and sensitivity. And my nights have been getting longer. laugh out loud I have been doing a lot of reading and considering this for a long time. Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

Rachael - there are two others brands of dessicated thyroid (Thyroid USP) --Nature-Throid and Westroid. They are actually identical -- inactive ingredients and all. They are both made by the same lab and used to be different. They aren't now. I called HyVee and my mail order pharmacy through our insurance and it and Armour are all available and they both said they have no problems getting it.

The main difference between these 3 and the Levo/Cytomel combination is that those are synthetic and these 3 are they thyroid of a pig. EEK! Therefore, there is also a little T1 and T2 and something else that absolutely escapes me at present. (we will be blaming this on hypo fog) The approximate conversion for 325 mcg of levo is 3 1/4 grain or 211.25 mg of thyroid USP.

SJM - Did your switch over pretty much follow the charts on dosage? Do you split yours up into 2 or 3 doses through out the day? How was the switch? And now for one that doesn't matter, but I wanna know, how bad does it taste and do you chew it up?

Thats me totally... I cannot function if I do not hear noise... my house is noisy on a normal basis.. so if it is totally quiet it freaks me out... I am not a tv watcher but find comfort in the noise also Wink YAY!! Awesome I love free stuff...especially surprises!!

BTW, Despicable me DS game was on clearance right now markdown was at 20.98... bought it at that b/c it is relatively newer but may be something to watch out for....

LOL I just reread what I wrote. Should be, books with TEACHING guides.

And yeah the free stuff makes up for the fact that I forgot to renew my military ID. It expired 10/11/10, ID office was closed for the holiday so it's going to be a pita to get on base tomorrow and get it renewed. Plus they prefer people make appointments so I don't know how long the wait will be. *sigh*

Oh, and the DS stuff I bought was at TRU. Should have made that clear.

Thanks for the DS game info! We have mostly Star Wars games and then some that the girls wanted, but the girls are all about the PSP now. Hard to keep up.

eta I noticed that Best Buy has better prices for the How To Train Your Dragon movie release this Friday, anyone seen any coupons? Smilie

Rofl2
sorry you had such a rough night, hon. nightmares are no fun. hug
have you always had wierd dreams? if not, the meds are likely doing this. some meds do that and if you talk to the docs they can adjust to avoid this side effect.

Quote from tootsie67 :
hug The cost of dental stuff with/without insurance is ridiculous. I'll never understand why dental isn't a part of health insurance anyhow. ...
totally agree. i've always thought that that's a law that needs to change.

Quote from bunnies46 :
Need to vent......But the comment, of them having it worse then us really got to me. We gift this family on a monthly basis about $400.00 woth of items. So that's my vent. I guess I resented the comment.
bunnies, hug
sounds to me like your neighbor was trying a passive aggressive way to gain sympathy and ultimately use that to get more stuff, but they sure went about it the super wrong way.
i've tried teaching some friends, but then they see me doing it and it seems so complex, and time-consuming that they are both intimidated and overwhelmed. i wonder if that is going on here... i finally said to them, ok, pick one store that you shop at a lot and let me teach you how to save there. or pick one area (toiletries) or even one item where you spend a lot - toilet paper, mouthwash, diapers, cereal, whatever and let me show you how to save on that.
it worked. i used that as a means to teach them basic rules. truth is that's how i got started. saved on vitamins. then saved on listerine. then on body wash. then i was hooked and started learning one store at a time. and when i tell em that, it works.

you are an angel for giving so much to them. i agree with the suggestion here - start collecting those things and do a sale. it's $s you can use and right now bunnies, you gotta watch out for your family. hug

Quote from mamaoftwins2 :
Can someone tell me what is wrong with me...I don't have a fever but terrible body ache and feeling chilly...It is freaking 80 outside and I am wearing a hoodie....I am going to take a nap after I have fed the kids...
Quote from Nikayla :
....
As soon as I start feeling sick I try to nip it in the bud by helping my body fight whatever it is off. I suck vitamin C and zinc drops. I start taking 500 vitamin c three times a day. I mince a little garlic clove up in tiny pieces and let the enzymes activate in the air for 5 min and then scoop it up on a teaspoon and swallow it with a huge gulp of OJ, I do it that two times a day for a few days. Take a nap and get extra sleep. If I do all those things I don't get sick. Plus I drink some tea with honey a few times a day. The only time it hasn't worked was when I got sick from eating pig poop spinach, and the swine flu.

Actually if I am around a sick person I start with the drops right away. IIRC the zinc neutralizes the sick germs and can kill them off before they get a chance to make you sick. DH always has them when he travels, especially on the plane.
...
mot2... sounds like you are coming down with the flu bug thing that's been going around. i had it for about 2 weeks. yucky. body ache, chills, exhaustion, cough and oh, the nausea.
i agree with nikayla's advice. it's what i usually do, but didn't this time and paid for it. when i start to feel under the weather, i take 2000-3000 mg of ester c a day. and take 2 zinc pills a day. and i up my fluid intake - water, cranberry juice. within 2-3 days i feel much better and don't descend into full sickness.
about a week or 10 days before i got sick, sis was saying she was feeling under the weather. i suggested the c-zinc regimen, which she did and felt all good. i should've followed suit knowing I was now exposed through her. Doh

Quote from kallison423 :
If anyone has jujuli's addy, can you please PM me? I don't have the money for flowers, but I would like to send her a card

and bunnies, same sort of thing happened when I took stuff to donate to a local mission....
i would love jujuli's address too, if someone has it, so I can send her a card. thank you!
kallison, i was donating a lot to a food pantry. every time there was a free after q food deal, i would work at rounding up qs (ips and inserts) and run to stores to do the deals over and over so i could take em bags and bags of food. then one day one of the "helpers" was irritated at having to carry the food in (as I later learned) and began questioning why I was donating and whether I had been stealing things from stores. EEK! I never returned to that pantry to donate and I stopped doing tons of freebie deals for them.

Looked for another pantry to donate to, but they said you can bring the stuff in on the days we accept donations and we will inspect it and check against our list to see if it is stuff we want or need, and if not we won't accept it. pfffft. really? when people are going hungry, they'd rather not take in a few extra boxes of cereal or whatever?

I've come to realize that most people/places that we donate to don't realize how effortful it is. when you show up with a car full of stuff, they just assume you're someone that went on a shopping spree and then are giving it away to pat yourself on the back.

Quote from gt6mk31 :
.... Extend an invite, answer any questions but other than that, sell your stuff, stop giving it away.
...
Applause absolutely right gt!

Quote from kallison423 :
getgreen or other clarisonic users- do you find that your skin changes tolerance level after using your clarisonic? I don't normally have sensitive skin, but everything is making me extremely itchy. I can't tell if it's the Clarisonic or a new product that's doing it (new moisturizer).

And I was able to do a return without receipt last time in store and they took my DL#. Is there a return limit? And what about products without packaging? I know they used to, but I'm sure it got abused. I'm gonna go a few days without that moisturizer and see if that's the culprit and if it is, I really don't want to keep it.
i have very, very, very sensitive skin and clarisonic has not caused itching. i use the delicate brush.
have you tried the new moisturizer on your elbow or upper arm as a patch test to see if you itch? if you wash off the moisturizer off your face, without using clarisonic, and then put nothing afterwards, just leave your skin alone, does the itching go away? if so, it's likely the moisturizer.
returns: i was just having this discussion with a friend today. they still take things back without packaging but they ask for DL and i believe there's a limited number of times a year. i don't think they will harass you at all if you take it back without packaging and explain that you had an allergic reaction. every cosmetic retailer understands that and generally they let you exchange for something or give you store credit.
also, to soothe your skin, do you have any aloe gel? walgreens sells it in tubes and bottles. get the white one (no dyes or perfumes). put the tube/bottle in refrigerator to chill the gel and then put a thin layer on your face. it will dry quickly - it moisturizes and soothes and leaves skin very soft.



Quote from ank220 :
...I can tell you a nice story...

...
ank that is a VERY NICE story. please do tell it every night. Big Grin

oh and sweetie, thank you, thank you, thank you for the vinegar/baking soda car fix. it worked! woot the rotten smell is gone. the vinegar smell is mostly gone thanks to the baking soda, though it still smells a little vinegary. and i managed to get most of the baking soda out of the seat and about 80% out of the rug, using a dustpan/brush and then a handheld vac (that i got at Target, haha )
so yay! free cleanup sure beats a $50 detailing job. and you taught me a wonderful technique, which I hope I never need to use again.

Though, I could watch poker all day or HGTV.

I do very much prefer that eerie quiet though! LOL! Freaks my DH out to find me sitting in the quiet or the dark. I luv it!

I fergit what else I was going to say. I guess that's my cue to go to bed!

Wave

GG - glad I could help! The vinegar smell should dissipate when it's fully dry. Smilie

And I hope you never need it again too!

Oh Dreeme - I almost forgot...

I was thinking about you and about working at T. I thought - wouldn't it be fun one day to purposely scan the "wrong" barcode on every coupon just to see what happens...

Have you seen any "couponers" at your store yet?? That would be pretty nifty.
Just says to scan only the left barcode. That screen still pops up on the coupons valued 4.00 or higher. Annoying. It doesn't give me the option to hit K1 but rather "clear" and when I do, the amount is 0.00. So I void that and enter it manually.

For us, it works. I do have limits on how long and when they can watch TV. For myself and oldest dd, we could go days without turning on a TV. Other people in the house, not so much. LMAO
*laugh* Yeah, I think my toddler and DH are addicted. My oldest can't stay away from Facebook. (but I guess she gets that from me as I can't seem to stay away from SD)

Ahh... no funky adding $2,427 to the order, eh?

And thanks for the info on the $4 mq's. I'll have to make sure I watch that if I have any. Is it on all mq's higher than $4, or just certain ones? It sounds soooo annoying.
