Hey guys...
We finally heard back from the pediatricians office while I was trying to make dinner...Nothing like making us wait till the last possible minute Mad ..Anyway, they said the results of the Xray showed that the spacing was less than desired/normally seen between the bone plates in a baby of his age and size but that they were NOT fused at this time...So, they will watch him carefully thru the next couple of growth spurts to see what develops and do an MRI/CTscan this time around if necessary instead of an Xray...
I am thankful that he has avoided this diagnosiis for now and praying it continues to remain unfused until he is done growing...I just have to hope that they dont find it later on when the remedy (surgery) would be much more invasive and traumatic for him...Unsure

Thanks for all the prayersheart...you guys are great!!nod
I am glad that you got good news today! We will continue to Pray for more good news!!

I know what you mean, but I've been Targeting since the "old days" and usually don't do big runs, very seldom over $130 or so BC. I think it's more that we only have 1 Target in a 60 mile radius and with 3 or 4 of us 'couponing' there, they noticed. So all of us have decided that it's probably better to lay low for a bit and let things calm down. Threats of legal action of some sort have surfaced, and even though I really don't think that's much of a possibility, who needs the hassle? Adding to my Panenten stockpile just doesn't seem worth it, lol.
Things have gotten weird here too....very quickly...what area are you in?

[QUOTE=schnauzermomma;11792877]WAGs is usually $5.99 or $6.99 for the multipack, and you can only use one of the $1 q's on it, so not great at all. In addition, DH says these (in a can) taste different than the ones I get at Target. I think the JJ website said Sam's might also carry it in my area, but I'm betting it's a 'by the case' price.

I wish I knew what was up with Target not carrying it. Right now, I still have coupons too, but not too many left. And I've stocked up enough that we'll be ok for at least three months, but after that I'm not sure.

DH swears by the stuff, I guess if I can't find more in the next couple of months, I'll ask a store manager to see if they'd consider carrying it, or if they can order it for me.

I know, for example, there's some stuff, to help stop nosebleeds, that I can't get anywhere, but CVS can - and will - special order it for me. Good thing is, it doesn't cost any more than ordering it over the internet - in fact, less, since I don't pay the shipping.[/QUOTE]

So weird that you mention this! I had never heard of these, and I just saw the boxes in my cvs tonight in the blister-care/band-aid area. The boxes were on the bottom shelf. Hope your cvs can get these in for you!

I find even if I have time to go every day, It might not be the best use of gas, and I have multiple Ts around me within 10miles. Maybe I should just read posts every day and go once a week? Sometimes I end up just peelie shopping.

How often do you all go to T?
usually once a week. for really good deals maybe a few times a week at different times on different days (to avoid seeing same employees for the same deals).
i've got a really good target just across the street with all the good items (large grocery, lots of trial size selection, etc) so that is the one i go to most. i also have one down the street, but product selection is comparatively crappy so.. yeah.

on super good deals like the pampers i have 4 other stores, in addition to the first 2, to do a major run and hit all 6 stores. only do that once every couple weeks though and only for what i said - extreme good deals. (there is also a target a couple hours drive away, where my parents live, so when i visit them sometimes i stop by that t too! Stick Out Tongue)

then there are other times i'm just lazy, or deals are only so so and i don't hit the T at all for a couple weeks or a month at a time. OMG

OK, so I'm helping some friends with couponing....what websites, besides SDs do you all find to be the best? I don't want to focus on just Target, or Walmart. I mostly want to show them how to find printables. etc. You can PM if you'd rather... will rep when I get a chance! Thanks much hug

For those of you going to TRU to get your free trains, the cranium fort we were all looking for at Christmas target clearance is 75% off at TRU, 12.99 retail. I was able to use the 5/25 since I had the Thomas train. Not sure if I'm keeping it yet but they only had 2 and grabbed it just in case.

Hubby and I both find it hard to actually pay full price for a toy when I have all the target GC. But still 75% off isn't full price--

I struggle with the same thing laugh out loud I saw a lot of clearance at TRU yesterday, but between K and T I was like, nope I can get it cheaper laugh out loud

I was also thinking the same thing at garage sales today, but some of the stuff I got was way cheaper than paying tax on it at T so I guess it works out!!

I think I remember some of you mentioning the Parents phone toy at T. I just wanted to share that Soph has it and it has come in very handy lately!! Her sister recorded her a message on the phone before she left for the summer, now Soph has "conversations" with her sister all the time. It is very cute!!!

Haha I saw the fort and was a good girl and didnt buy it! I did however get a train, could only get a wooden one and we have the Take alongs. I also got and elmo book, 2 foam puzzles, and Elmo blanket and box of tic tacs to make it to 25.00.

I know what you mean about paying full price for toys, I did it the other day at Kmart for something I knew he would love, no coupons or anything. But I was right, he did love it!
