I LOVE Freecycle!!! Today I got a butcher block table and SIX chairs! Isn't that awesome??? And my little Sparky (toy fox terrier) is a freecycle baby as well. We've been able to get rid of a lot,...

We're having massive prank wars at work. Good ol' harmless stuff. But I got "gotten" today, and it's payback time for my boss. Any ideas? This is an office setting, so stuff dealing with her desk,...

What a great thread! My daughter will be traveling to Europe with her French club in June, and since I've never been abroad, we can use all these tips and more. I love the underwear one...disposable...

My little ones make up construction paper baskets w/handles, put a few candies in the bottom and some homemade paper flowers (too cold here yet for many fresh flowers). We live in a small village...

Don't hate me because I'm a utilities bill collector...I started about 4 months ago after being a sahm for 9 years. It's a thankless job, but someone has to do it. And I'm not getting rich, either. I...

Well, through donations and fundraisers, my daughter is actually going to go on her trip to Europe with the French Club this summer. What an incredible opportunity!
But now we're scrambling to take...

WOW! That poem sure fits some of us parents to a T. Thanks for sharing. I think I'll print and frame a copy to put by my desk.

Thanks for all of the great ideas! I knew there were "classic" games out there. I just couldn't seem to remember them. Hubby dickered and dealed, called in a few favors and located us both a popcorn...

We're throwing my soon to be 8 year old daughter a birthday party. And we've decided to go with a carnival theme. But money is really really tight. So does anyone have good ideas for cutting costs...

We only got a light dusting overnight, but it must be icy, because the kids have a 2 hour delay this morning. (They also have a scheduled 2 hour early release, so I'd say it's going to be a pretty...

I like my OJ the same way I like my milk. With a glassful of ice. MMMMMMMMmmmm!

I seriously doubt this is all there is to the story. They gave no reason as to why this was done. Not that I'm condoning it, but I like to know the whole story before I form a solid opinion. It says...

While you're busy sending things to harass our president, please remember to send a few dollars to aid in the tsunami relief, or maybe send some items that will help make our troups more comfortable,...

I feel your pain...literally. It has plagued our house, as well. I have the most nasty case of "pink eye" I've ever seen. Been sick with a nasty sore throat and a relentless cough for over a week...

Haven't ventured out yet, but here in Southern Michigan, hubby says we've got about 4 and a half inches right now, but the worst is yet to come. He just finished shoveling out the entire area in...

Well, we worked all day trying to warm it up, but no luck. Our mechanic told us how to check to see if it is the fuel pump, and that is still working, thank goodness. He seems to agree it's probably...

Okay...so who amongst us still believes a dog's mouth is cleaner than a human's???
We have to guard the kitty litter box, or the dogs will often stop at the Cat Box Buffet. I got no other advice for...

Apparently, the gas line froze on my van last night when I was coming home from work. Or at least I think that's what happened. Driving along, got a little ways, then the van stalled. Now it acts...

Tadbit, that was very amusing! LOL. We started doing our own "Series of Unfortunate Events" years ago. We no longer get those photocopied holiday bragging letters.
Good luck with yours, ezmoney163....

My son is 13. He's very much into Yu-Gi-Oh. And he likes t-shirts with crazy sayings on them (Like "My imaginary friend thinks you have mental problems"). He also is a huge Lord of the Rings fan....

Hovering around zero here in Michigan...and that wind is bitter cold. Here's the kicker. My van doesn't apparently appreciate the frigid temps, either. Had a heck of a time getting it started, just...

Congrats!!!! I started my new job just recently, too! Good to hear things are looking up for you! YAY!!!!

This has been a tough year for us. I mean, really tough to the point of feeling like it was never going to get better. But just when I think I'm finally at the end of my rope, something happens.
I...

Thank you so much for organizing this! What a wonderful "family" we have to make so many kids' wishes come true.
