    Need lots of positive vibes for 5 yr old grandson

    I work with several autistic children. I can only imagine how difficult it must have been to receive the news. I'm working with a child right now, preschooler, who is speech only but I think she's on the autistic spectrum. Is your grandson mild, moderate or severe? In my school system...

    Apple iPods

    I have a nano. I wouldn't worry about 500 vs. 1000 songs unless you're a complete music freak because I still haven't hit the 500 mark. I have a long ways to go. To listen to your ipod in the car, you can purchase an itrip. The itrip connects to the bottom of your ipod. You tune the itrip to...

    Boredom.... any suggestions?

    After about the 2nd week into my school vacation, I got bored too. I knew I had to find something to occupy my time since we don't go back until middle August. So, I ordered some books online and taught myself how to sew pillows. I don't know if you have a sewing machine but they're fairly...

    Savannah, GA

    My mother and her side of the family are from Savannah. It is a nice area, for the most part. Of course, there's alot of Savannah that you don't see on tv so I strongly suggest going there and seeing it for yourself. You could stay in one of the bed and breakfasts and just take your time. If...

    I remember when....

    I remember... eating Life cereal because Mikey ate it getting my allowance and walking to the store to buy Bazooka bubblegum and reading the comic strip when stereos took up the entire wall wanting to be in the "dogpound" on the Arsenio Hall show having a pair of jelly shoes in...

    Movie Eight Below

    I thought it had something to do with their coats. I wondered the same thing. I would have thought to leave them inside and just make the rooms as dog-proof as possible. However, in the movie, even though they brought the dogs inside for awhile, during night-time, they took the dogs back...

    Tempur-Pedic Matress

    I'm really interested in the Tempur-Pedic too. It's time for DH and I to get a new mattress and he has a bad back. I looked up some reviews for the memory foam mattress and didn't get very good feedback. It seems quite a few complained that after laying on the mattress for a short while, the...

    Anyone have a boxer and a pug?

    I would love to get a pug. That's the type of dog I wanted before I met Lexi in the pound. I've thought about getting one but also worried as to how the babes will take to their new playmate. I already have the name picked out: Sassy :)

    Carpet question!

    I bought new carpet not too long ago and every carpet store told me not to go with berber if I had dogs. They said when the machines make the carpet, it's a long continuous run so if my dogs are active (what boxer isn't?) they could start a run in the carpet. Kind of like stockings. However...

    I need help... (long)

    I'm not sure how this would effect your back, but have you thought about being a school psychologist? Being in a similar profession, it's hard work but there's not any physical labor involved. I don't know how your back would take sitting in a chair for an extended period of time, but you...

    LIfe Under Microscope?!!

    She named her kids after yours? Now that's wierd. Are you friends? Seems this lady doesn't have a life of her own so she's using yours. I'd keep an eye on her. Reminds me of the movie Single White Female. I'm sure that vision helps alot. :) Seriously though, just seems she's kinda sad.

    any good books

    Oh I just got finished with "The Kite Runner" by Hosseini. I thought it was excellent. I haven't read a book that good in awhile. It's rare that books will make me cry but this book did. Go to www.barnesandnoble.com and read the summary and reviews. I read "The Bookseller of Kabul" too...
