I'm very glad to read your daughter is fine! holy cow, that is soooooo scary. If I may ask, how old is she? I ask because of the following: My daughter was 3 1/2 the spring I bought her a jawbreaker.....she choked, I slapped her on the back and nothing happened. So then I opened her mouth, and used my index finger to create a "hook" and dug the blasted thing out of her throat! I took her straight to Children's Hosp

, ROFL geez, now I know I won't try THAT ...... and I had considered doing it once........ it's good to be resourceful, btw, you CAN combine liquid dishsoap with dishwasher detergent to get out stains from clothes. The dishsoap that works that way comes in big tall yellow round bottle. I forget the name but it comes in a citrus scent.

I have my screen name, and sometimes I've used my real name on my posts.....hey, if people aren't reading me, then they haven't seen my real name. That's all I go by though.

Reply to Price of Gas too high - What do you do? in Politics JoeUser Forums

when the gas prices sky-rocketed, my son and I started riding the local bus service, weather permitting we walked too when we didn't need too much from the store. It's fun to walk into town, about a mile away. The bus company raised their fares from a dollar to a buck and a quarter for that mile ride, so walking is good exercise.....

p.s. just an after thought here, IMHO there are no flawless Christmas celebrations, that to me is a Norman Rockwell picture, lovely to look at, just not real.

Hurray for spare batteries!! and thank goodness for ( seriously) for shoddy workmanship in the pajama bottoms! If it hadn't been for the shoddy workmanship, you and hubby wouldn't have had that experience together, learning together, experiencing understanding of each other, I think it was a good thing it happened. Sorry though for the hurt feelings, why do us women beat ourselves up so much over our weight?? it never e

I just learned to play squequence, it combines cards with a scrabble like format. Love it, and also love to play scrabble, have forgotten how to play cribbage but my kid sister loved it so much she was in a cribbage tournament. BTW, my first board game was Candyland, circa 1950's!

Awwwwwwww that makes me soooooooo homesick... My boyfriend and I used to go there on the weekends in his all Ford 23 T-bucket... we'd get a burger and onion rings, and they would put a chocolate chip cookie on top of the onion rings, on the outside of the pkg. I liked their chili too........

I don't enjoy my meals unless the phone is unplugged, the tv off, and I'm somewhere ( like my bedroom) where it's totally quiet..... I too like to make lists, of course being an "older woman" I find my memory not up to remembering things without a list! I can't stand to shop with other people, unless we're just window shopping. If I'm going shopping I wanna go ALONE! and of course my son likes to go along so.......I

Reply to Answer Me in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Oh I know what you mean! I can't stand telephones, pagers, cell phones and most other devices like this. I DO like my answering machine. If people don't want to leave a message, well then they can't want to talk to me very bad. I don't know about you, I DO know that I was probably born into the wrong time period. If it weren't for health issues, I'd never have a phone!
