Take a flight to Suriname for a country swathed in tropical rainforest. Dutch colonial architecture dominates the capital city of Paramaribo. Travel to Suriname to snap colonial-era buildings like the Presidential Palace. Old plantation houses are scattered around Commewijne but book a Kumalu river tour to see indigenous tribes. For wildlife lovers, flights to Suriname mean trekking in the vast Central Suriname Nature Reserve, or watching rare turtles at Galibi Nature Reserve in the northeast. Athletic visitors book flights to Suriname to climb Mount Kasikasima. On a Suriname city break to Paramaribo, take a boat to the 17th-century Jewish settlement in Jodensavanna.
After a flight to Suriname, sample the country's culinary mix with Dutch/Indonesian-influenced rijsttafel (rice with several little meat and vegetable dishes), bakkeljauw (salt fish) and Indian roti (flat bread with curry). Take home wooden carvings and paintings by the Amerindians. KLM and partners have frequent flights to Suriname. Book a Suriname ticket to see the traditional costumes at the Avond Vierdaagse carnival after Easter, and music and street parties at December's Surifesta.

Mesh Contrast Inset Dress
I wear size extra small in bebe dresses, but I went with a size small in this dress. I ended up having to go back and purchase the extra small because the small was too big and not fitted enough. The small would have been okay for a funeral or sunday service, but I needed something shorter and more fitted for my vegas trip:) too bad it was a final sale and I couldn't return it:/The xs fits like a glove and the dress is very classy. It's fabric is heavy and well made. So happy to add this dress to my bebe dress collection!

Worldtourism Group
Company Profile
Worldtourism was established in Australia in 1998. We are recognised, both domestically and internationally, as an innovative specialist in the travel and accommodation market. The Australian head office is located in Helensvale on the Gold Coast with branch offices in Surfers Paradise, Sydney, Melbourne, Wellington, Bangkok & Los Angeles. Our policy has always been to utilise local people with local knowledge to sell local product.
Since 1998 Worldtourism has specialised in marketing Queensland (in particular Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast & Tropical North Queensland) as an international destination. In the financial year of 2009/10 Worldtourism booked more then 265,000 room nights in Queensland. Based on our recent research, international visitors come to Australia to see and do as much as they can, because of this we are currently under going an expansion program to offer our travel agents hotels and resorts located throughout Australia.
In 1998 Worldtourism was originally established to promote smaller hotels & resorts who could not afford to or were too small to be apart of a wholesale program or a GDS. Over the last decade this has grown at an astounding rate and we now include some of the largest chains in Australia on our GDS.
Due to the airline competition that has opened up between Australia and USA we have seen a substantial increase in inbound bookings from the USA despite the Global Financial Slowdown.
Our customers come to Australia not to stay in a hotel; they come to experience the country. We take pride in ensuring that their experience is one they will cherish for a lifetime to come.
Worldtourism is more than just about selling a product. We are about providing a service, offering a diverse range of products, innovative solutions and a passion to always exceed client expectations.

i have been very fortunate to have worked with great design clients in the course of my design career. just prior to making a career change 20 years ago from design to the corporate world of italian tile, i had a client that was pure heaven to work with and i chalked it up to my lucky stars never expecting to have another like her.
fortunately in those 20 years i didn't get too far from my love and passion since part of my job was working with some of the great designers, architects and developers across the united states. after 20 years in the corporate world, i'm back doing design work.
working with people, helping to define their space – whether it's their home or office – is really fun! it also has it's challenges, as you can well imagine. when we opened modmood i was able to take a small space in the back of the store and surround myself with fabrics, tile, textile, rugs, wallcoverings, etc. the hope was that i would be able to once again work with people in selecting products for their space. fortunately this segment of our business has really grown.
i find myself with not only one but multiple dream clients. what makes a dream client for me?
one who actually listens to you suggestions: deborah and rusty are perfect examples. i went to their home for a consult and we walked through and around their house looking at the things they had done. as i made suggestions here and there she made her notes. about a week later we spoke and she said she was ready to move to the next level as she had done everything on the list…i about choked. how many times do people ask your opinion and then actually follow your advice? this was so refreshing!
another instance – a client and i were talking about doing some things a bit outside her comfort zone. i was listening to her as she was explaining to me why she wasn't comfortable doing something different. she stopped, looked at me and said "let's do it! why would i hire you if i'm not going to make changes?" to which i say…if you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always gotten!
one who doesn't breath down your neck: i'm currently working on a very large project in boulder. this woman is very high powered, owning her own business with about 10,000 employees. she is a dream client because she let's me do what i do…design and decorate. in the beginning she was more hands on, but once she felt more confident that i understood her needs and i had her best interest at heart, all she needed was a clear understanding of the concept. "what is the design concept? what are the fabrics and colors? what is the estimated cost?" then she would leave me alone to work out the details trusting in my abilities and expertise. does it matter if the bedspread drops 14″ or 15″? to me, yes. to her….?
you are trusted to make it right: as much as i hate to admit it, not all jobs go perfectly. there may be upholstery, drapery, rug, or production issues. the perfect client doesn't go crazy and make your life a living hell. you are given time to make it right. have you ever heard the term "snake bit"? it's used when a job just seems to be destined for trouble. no matter what you do to make sure everything is done correctly, it just doesn't matter – the fabrics out of stock, the manufacturers customer service entered the order incorrectly, the heartland is flooded. a dream client understands that no one wants the installation to go more smoothly than the designer. believe it or not, we care MORE than you. our name and reputation are on the job, not to mention our desire to please!
these are just a few characteristics of the dream design client, but i think you get the gist of it. are you really going to do anything suggested? do you really want something different than what you have? can you trust someone who does this day in and day out to do their job? and can you give them space to make it right when and if something goes wrong?
of course it goes without saying that all designers and decorators are not created equal. it's important to do your due diligence and make sure you and the designer connect, that they do in fact have integrity, and really care about your project. once this is established, if you can say yes to at least 3 of the above questions, you can be someones dream design client!

East Liberty Auto Plant
11000 State Route 347
East Liberty, OH 43319
Map It!
Honda of America Manufacturing's auto plant located in East Liberty, OH (ELP) has earned its eighth consecutive ENERGY STAR certification in 2013.
Established in 1989, ELP is a 2.1-million square-foot facility that is home to 2,400 associates. More than 4.5 million vehicles have been built in this facility including the segment-leading Honda CR-V compact sport-utility vehicle (SUV), the Honda Crosstour crossover utility vehicle, and the Acura RDX luxury SUV.
ELP benefits from the real-time monitoring system in place that allows associates to identify areas where energy use can be eliminated during non-use periods. In 2013, ELP created a new on-site consolidation center for the efficient distribution of parts throughout the plant. The consolidation center saved the use of 483,000 gallons of fuel from delivery trucks and eliminated 4.915 metric tons of CO2.
Additionally, by introducing a new process to recycle instrument panels at the facility, ELP was able to eliminate the transport of 39 trailer loads of material to an off-site recycling facility in 2013. The process involves regrinding instrument panels into material that is able to be used to create new panels on site.

Customer Reviews for Fabric Dining Room Curtains and Drapery
"Fantastic drapes"
By customer
I was hesitant to purchase these since I couldn't get a swatch, however I was extremely pleased with the drapes. I returned three other drapes from other places because I wasn't happy with the texture and appearance and I am very happy I ended up with these. They are very soft and appear to be durable. They do let light through but block the majority of it out. The stitching seems sound, I didn't notice any loose threads or runs. Out of the box I am very pleased.
View this product"Great value for money!"
By amberdana from Becker MN
I spent a lot of time shopping for custom drapes for my two big picture windows; it was impossible to find off the rack drapes wide enough, and custom drapes through Costco's partner company were insanely expensive. I am so happy I found Blindsgalore--the employees I telephoned and emailed were so professional, and I am so happy with how great my drapes look!

Happy Friday everyone .
It seems to be cold everywhere so lets all hope we can stay warm . Getting a late start so need to get on the Treadmill and also do those weights. Friday is Weight day at my house.
Good morning,
Thanks for opening, Alabama. I am getting a late start also.
My scale was not friendly this morning and that is all I am going to say. BBL
Have good day all.
Good morning, all, and Happy Friday!
I need to go out to run errands today; I've been putting it off all week but hate to have to grocery shop on the weekend, so today it is.
I'm sorry about the scale, Dianna; don't let it get you down though. As one of the videos I've seen lately says, "getting the body you want starts with loving the body you have." I know it's probably kind of hard to appreciate your body when your knees are so painful.
Thanks for opening up, Bama, and good job on those weights and the TM. Yup, cold here, too, and I hear rumors of more snow coming.
Dang, Barb, more goof-ups. Pretty soon you'll just be expecting to have to do everything twice. My dad stays in, too, when it's below zero (thank goodness!) but he sure does hate missing his walk. I think you're right though--it's colder almost everywhere this winter.
YAH, sorry about the non-sanded roads. I do hope you'll get to do a little baby-sitting next weekend. Hard to believe that second grand-baby is so close; time sure flies. Crossing my fingers for you on the call-in.
Angii, you sure have found what works for you, and you are doing great with it!
Good morning, Sue; hope all is well at your house.
I'd better go get the dogs fed; DH and I have an appt to work out at 8:30. Have a great day!
Good Morning! Thought of what Buddy Max must have looked like a while ago Sue
Thanks for opening Bama and great on your workout! Boy i see even Texas is due for some storm now also! I saw snow in LA. also and they don't usually get it right? We are cold enough, this is the warm day, maybe 10 degree's and then back to colder and even colder on Mon.! Makes winter seem very long as to cold to go anywhere and enjoy the outside! At least I don't have the clothes for it yet And if I put on heavier jackets and go inside, then I'm very hot! I don't know how their going to get well at work with the heat so high though. Guess the whole bldg. is now sick from what my son said. He said all the doors in between floors are closed so its hard bringing carts out and I don't see why if the whole bldg. is sick that the doors are shut anyway then. I'll see tomorrow I guess.
Di, hope your day goes well and your scale is the same as mine so I haven't even gone on it!
Mo, yep they sure need to sand those roads as the salt doesn't work well in this cold And there are those maniac's that think they can still stop on a dime on ice! No call in and I'm sure I woke up at the time but I didn't peek at it. Course Dh was down for coffee and I tried to stay in bed longer as for the cold, but finally got up. Looks like we got snow last night and up north looks bad again! Looked nice last night but...it sure can change up here! Have a good errand day!
Barb, I imagine cabin fever is setting in there to! Its bad when going work is my only time to go out it seems There's so many nice trails to walk on in the woods even in Marq. where the wind isn't so bad. Can ski or just walk but so far. I haven't found any good feeling boots either. Gosh! You sure tend to have to do things twice Hope the next part is right.
Angii and Sue, hoping your day is going great and your warmer than us!
Guess I'll call my DB and see how it has been at his place since they got home from out west and all the snow Have a great day! BBL, Yah
Afternoon ladies. Not much new going on around here. Took Charger to the park. He sure does love to go. I don't usually take him on the weekends though because of the different crowd that is there, and not usually pleasant people. About a month ago some guy with 3 very aggressive dogs threatened another couple with a gun. He didn't actually have one in his hand, but said he would go get it from his car and shoot them. So we have been avoiding the park on weekend since.
Not sure what I will get into today. Cody will be home early and needs to ship something off so I will go with him to do that since I have the CG till 5. We will figure it out.
It is windy here so it makes it feel much colder than the 50* it is outside right now, but I am glad we are not getting the terrible weather the rest of the country is experiencing.
I hope everyone has a great weekend!
Yikes, Angii, whack-jobs abound. I'd be avoiding that guy, too.
You're right, YAH--they are having bad weather in TX. My mom is in San Antonio. Stepdad had to be at the hospital at 6:30 a.m. for back surgery this morning. It took them an hour to do the 15 min. drive due to an icestorm, but Mom said they were lucky--apparently some cars were stuck on the freeway all night! (Stepdad is out of the OR and all went well, thank goodness.)
On another "thank goodness" note, got a text from DS this afternoon. He passed the first phase of Ranger School and had 6 hours off. He said he has never been so cold or so hungry in his life. He lost 20 pounds in 3 weeks! His GF had picked him up and they were going to get something to eat, then he had to "re-fit his gear," whatever that means, and get back. Great to hear from him anyway; he sounded happy.
Gosh its cold out there! Its going way down again and with wind and snow! Guess 100% chance of snow today and tomorrow so hopefully my van will start as I didn't try it since I got home Wed. Wind chill will be way down. Today was suppose to be warmer but Dh says it wasn't.
Mo, wow, glad they got to the hospital. I'm sure she is a safe driver and does not hurry then Glad he's ok so far to! Wow, thats one way to lose weight hey? I imagine they had a lot of exercise and maybe not so much food? Maybe your mom can stay in hospital somewhere?
Angii, yep I would stay out of the park on the weekend to! To many crazy people out there and to say that is crazy!
Well I see they close down the Big Mac bridge and a 20 vehicle crash must have occured on this side also. Must be really blowing it around there. So far the snow is just coming down here, not blowing yet. If it does like this all night, will have to shovel myself down the steps! Kind of wish I had it off for once.
Hoping everyone is having a good day? Guess I'll be hitting the bed soon to keep warm and all Dh is upstairs already and can save the heat for early morning a little. My son's work this weekend so I will at least get to see them a bit. Have a good night and a great weekend! Yah
Hi ladies,
I didn't accomplish a darn thing today. Oh well, it will all be waiting for me tomorrow. We did have a fun dinner out with the gang. DH and I splurged on prime rib so we will have leftovers for dinner tomorrow. And leftover popovers for breakfast. It's been at least a year since we've had it there, or anywhere else for that matter.
Snowing and blowing here earlier. DH just went out to put the car in the garage and said the snow had stopped, but it was still blowing. Glad your mom & stepdad got to the hospital ok, Molasses, and that the surgery went well. DH called his friend in Houston last night and they were preparing for rather unseasonable weather down there too. I would much rather have snow than ice.
Glad your son did well, too, MO. That's quite a bit of weight loss! Nice that he gets a break after that.
Yikes on the weekend dog park patrons, Angii! I'd be staying far, far away. Glad the weekday crowd is much better.
Hope I don't have to start doing everything twice! Not concerned about the delay on the block heater. The van still starts ok. DH put a new battery in the Jeep yesterday too so all of our vehicles have new batteries now, and my car is in the garage and plugged in.
Just found out from a GF tonight that we are getting a really awesome spot on the busiest corner in town for the Art Walk! Hope something sells this year. We will at least have a lot of traffic!
Just saw that tomorrow morning's windchills are -35 to -45. Ugh! We seriously lucked out on getting our propane tank filled last week too. The price was up to $2.59/gal, but the price has now doubled - yikes! I will definitely be prepaying at the summer rates. I've been turning the heat down a couple of extra degrees at night too.
I did get on the scale yesterday, but I'd had a snack and coffee. It wasn't pretty, but not up as much as I feared. This darn hibernating weather (and my total lack of willpower)!
Good Morning! This is the large wood dome structure in Marquette by NMU and I guess the 5th largest dome structure in the U.S. Anyway, would be nice to live by it as you can walk around inside it in winter.
A very Cold one again today and boy, of course we got a lot of snow finally on my day of work! Storm door had to plow through a bit as I checked and van needs a lot of shoveling off also. Hopefully it starts as it was Wed. since it was going and no engine heaters and no garage here! And no newer battery yet either. Really hate to go work in this as i see its still snowing and highway is covered up good as plows probably don't worry to much as no school buses etc. on the weekend. No 4 wheel drive here either
I got up somtimes before 4 and couldn't get to sleep and finally I looked at time and it was 4:10 a.m so decided I might as well get up as it goes so quick and will have to start car earlier and all that. Hopefully my kids have no trouble getting to work either and the other one in Marq. probably has to snowblow before his MIL comes and all
Hoping you all have a nice day and weekend and stay warm! Yah
Hope you have a safe drive to and from work, YAH. We are supposed to get some snow today but hasn't started yet. It appears to be snowing in both sides of us but we are in a hole.
DH was supposed to be gone all day for a train day and DD and Gkids were going to come for a couple of hours around noon. But as of last evening all plans are in a holding pattern until we see where the snow goes.
Glad your mom and step-dad's got to the hospital okay and his surgery went well, Molasses. Yay, on your son passing the first phase of ranger school. Wow, 20 pounds lost in three weeks. Can he afford to lose that kind of weight? Hope you had a good meal during his 6 hours off.
Barb and Alabama, hope you both had a nice evening out with your friends.
Barb, I am not getting much done around here either. Spending most of my time on the quilt. Dh has been knee deep in paperwork the past two weeks so no house projects getting done. I've pretty much given up on that idea for now. Great news about your location for the Art Walk. Hope you do well with it.
Oh my goodness on the dog park incident, Angii. I don't blame you for not going there on weekends. I hope someone reported the guy and he is banned from going there.
My day will depend on the weather. If DD and Gkids don't come it's wide open and I'll likely just quilt most of the day. If they are coming, I'll need to do some quick tidying up and get the food ready. They only have two hours to spend here because GD needs to get home for work.
DH is up and moving, have to see what he decided about going to his train show and lunch meeting.
Have a great day.
Sorry I missed your posts Mo and Angii.
Glad your step dad is doing well Mo and yea on the 20# loss for your son.
Angii, I hope someone reported that guy to the police or someone anyway . I assume the park is run by the town so he should have been reported. Strange things happen anymore . I would rather be safe than sorry any day so I would probably stay away from the part on the weekends.
Barb, prime rib sounds delish . One of our favorite meals. Lol we went to Godfathers pizza . I have never had theirs and I will say it was nice . Another thing I liked that it was quiet and you could talk to each other without screaming to be heard. So it was a pleasant evening but very cold when we went out.
Holy Cow I am sitting by the kitchen window and I just saw our female walker go by. We have seen her at 4 am 8 am which is now and we will see her again. She walks most of the day and all year long Skinny as a Rail . DIL says she has been walking for years and that her Husband is a nut tooo.LOL> I mean it is cold out there. My feet couldn't take all that walking. She must walk the whole town as we have seen her everywhere. I can just see it now .
Well I need to order a book from the Library since it is going to be an inside house kind of day.
Morning ladies. It is going to be a long weekend. Dad is already pushing button's and being a pill. He hasn't been turning at night the right way to get into bed, and so he is falling into bed. I am very frusterated and will be spending some time this next week looking over our budget and minimum payments (right now we are paying extra on everything) and looking at what we can cut, so I can start looking for a job and put Dad in a nursing home. I am done. I am sick of all the fighting and tension at the house. I am disappointed that I will have to go back to work. But I don't think we can cut enough from the budget alone to allow me to stay home. I am having a really hard time right now. Yes. the CG has helped immensely. But Dad isn't willing to help himself, and I am sick of being the bad guy.
I hope everyone has a better weekend that I am having so far.
I am so sorry, Angii.
Feel free to vent away. We are here for you.
I'm sorry, too, Angii, and am sending hugs your way. Any job you can find is probably easier than what you are doing now!
Cute graphic, Bama!
YAH, hope you got to work without any trouble and then weren't short-handed because of the weather.
Sorry about the stalled projects, Dianna, but I hope your quilting keeps you too busy to worry about them. Hope you do get your company; sounds like a nice way to spend the afternoon. DS didn't need to lose any weight, but I'm sure he'll put it back on after Ranger School when he gets to eat his fill again.
Yay on the Art Walk location, Barb, and on filling your propane tank before the price hike, too. Yikes. Glad you had a good dinner with your friends; sounds like you were needing that.
Hope all is well, Sue. You must be busy with some project.
Not too much going on here this morning. It's snowing, but we are only supposed to get an inch or two, nothing drastic. DH and I worked out earlier, and watched another episode of Friday Night Lights. We had steel cut oats for breakfast, and my first attempt at homemade almond milk. Totally delish!
Happy Saturday, everyone!
Well today didn't go as planned. DH canceled his day out and DD and Gkids postponed until another time because of the weather forecast. The snow never came and the sun is peaking in and out. Didn't get to the quilt yet today either. But I made a pot of GF Italian wedding soup for lunch, it was yummy. And we now have everything ready to get our taxes done. I did them just to get a feel for where we stand. We owe for the first time in years, but not too bad. Maybe the accountant will find something I missed. DH went on Medicare plus a supplement last year and that reduced our itemized deductions considerably. But we aren't complaining since what we owe is almost nothing compared to what we saved on insurance. I guess there are some advantages to getting older.
Evening ladies,
Hugs Angii. Maybe it is best for all concerned. I think you have done a lot and now it time for you. I know it hasn't been easy for you. You're so young to have had to take that on. I know you will make the right decision.
We got some snow today also but not as much as they thought so far. It is supposed to get to about 17 below this week which is cold to us for sure.
We haven't done much of anything today other than I went with my son and then cooked been reading and watching tv on and off today.
Di, We never have enough deductions to claim and we have been paying for a few more than I want to . We cashed in some stock this year so we will be paying big time . Sorry your family didn't get a chance to come over. My DD didn't either so we will probably stay another week so I can spend it with her .
Have a pleasant evening all . I think some award show is on and I may catch some of that.
Oh YAH I love the fat cat for Christmas. I went up some pounds too but back to normal now. MMM yummy chili sounds good. I will bring a loaf of French bread to have with it. Yeah well YAH back in NY you have some awesome deli's....and I used to go to the Italian deli for my pastrami sub and the German deli and we also had a Jewish deli a couple doors down too. One of the things I miss a LOT about NY. Shopping trip went great. Oh we loved it YAH, pink paper in you nice blouses and all my dresses and stuff. Underwear all wrapped up nice. We were spoiled rotten LOL
Yeah I had cotton stuff too and I ironed them, but certainly was NOT one of my favorite things to do Wow you really had the old fashioned kind of washing to dry...I don't envy you that, as my grandmother told us about it and I have read about it and it's very hard work. HUGS
We turn out heat down too, YAH and Chuck wakes up early in the a.m. and puts it up.
Molasses, I am with you on the goose liver, but I did love liver and onions as kid for dinner...yeah I was a very weird child...plus I adored chicken livers too with some eggs. In fact when I met Chuck he'd leave the apartment while I cooked them up as he couldn't stand them. And worse the smell of spinach made him sick, so I ate that on night's he worked or bought the fresh spinach and ate it that way.
Molasses as for the institute find out if it's ACCREDITED or not...BTW I personally think you would make an AWESOME COACH!
Thanks for the hugs Molasses, and have to say not missing the snow. However, I sure wish we would get some rain, as now they are talking about water cut back.
Glad you got out and about a bit Barb, but I know I could never live in those temps anymore. Thanks yes things did improve and shopping was great.
We turn out heat down at night too, Bama. Those are good prices for the books, Bama. I got mine from Amazon or Barnes & Noble.
Sorry Molasses, I found that all of the green ones I tried, didn't keep soaping up at all.
Dianna, they can be a meat pie, but also made with vegetables too and some have gravy and some don't. We are going to make some with cheese and those are delicious too. Yeah us too out here Dianna, lots of price increases and because the meat went up...from what I heard they need to feed the animals for the meat, hence grain went up and since that's important to so many other things....they all went up too.
Molasses, we loved our cheese pasties too.
Holy cow YAH that is some drift to reach up to the power lines. But I remember that even back in the 50s and 60s in NYC and even on L.I. we got a lot more powerful storms as we had drifts very high on L.I. and poor NYC had to find a place to move the snow. Plus the Hudson River, like this year, froze over too.
Oh YAH that "choc., peanut butter one with Reese's bars crushed on top" cake your son had would be right up my alley. MMMM good.
Barb, you, I and hubby are in a special group, as we also clean the dishes off and rinse and scrub them of stuff before we put them in the dishwasher too. Thanks for the reminder, Barb...as you know I have the mega size bottles of vinegar.
YAH, glad you got your pills, sorry you missed your son and I just love the pic of the bird in the snow. Glad you got some groceries too. Oh YAH Winco is enormous but we love it, it's well lighted, the isles are nice and big and it's very well organized with signs on the isles with what's on it.
So Angii, what is this book series you found and are reading???? Glad your week went so well. Oh Angii, I am so excited for you too, a size 14 is awesome. Your plan sounds great and I am just so happy it's working so well for you. Kudos to you.
Dianna, how about just walking around the house. Hubby walks up and down our hall into the living room and does it for 10 minutes. He will eventually build his time up. That's what I did too when I did my walking...only mine I was up to 20 minutes. But what's nice you can start with the time your knees will allow and move up from there.
Yes, Molasses, I thought Chuck's idea for the MP3 player was awesome and as for the pharmacy, it will be either CVS or Savemart and we have used CVS for Chuck's stuff for a lot of years now and I did some of mine in early years too. Plus if a doctor wants to change, like my primary does for my BP meds eventually, I will be able to go and get them.
Oh Bama, I so miss double and triple coupons of past years, just don't do that at the stores here. We pay close to 9% too, 8 1/4 or 8.5 Chuck just said.
The bearded iris is gorgeous YAH.
Molasses and Dianna, I wish you both the best with the food changes.
Bama, not cold everywhere, California is having record highs in many areas, ours included! I am blowing hot air that way.
Sorry about your scale, Dianna, been there, done that and this will pass soon too. I know never as fast as we want it too, but slow and steady wins the race.
Molasses, hope your errands went well on Friday. We never liked the weekend shopping either. Very few times in our lives did we do it on a Saturday.
Oh my goodness, YAH, yes that is exactly what Buddy looked like. Rewatch the Buddy video and you will see how close it is.
However, YAH, Buddy didn't go bring the dish....that was Alex, the black lab (original Marley)..who finished his water and as a puppy carried the dish down to us in the family room and dropped it as if to say...."FILL IT UP" please LOL
Yes, my girlfriend in New Orleans area was flabbergasted by it and the kids in the house being in their teens weren't around the last time it happened and were amazed by it LOL
Yikes on everyone being sick it the building YAH and sorry to hear you have to be exposed to it too. As I said a while back, I got sick the most while working at the hospital/university when I worked there. As elevators were used by workers and patients. Hope all was well with your brother.
Angii, glad Charger got to the park on Friday. What a shame there are such A-holes at the park on the weekend. And yikes on the gun and threats...
Glad all went well for your step dad, Molasses. Congrats to your son, Molasses and glad you got to talk to him.
HUGS on those brrr temps, YAH and that poor little birdie too. Wow on the bridge closure and oh no on the 20 vehicle crash, so very very sad. Glad you will get to see your sons.
Some days you gotta say, what the heck, Barb and glad dinner with the gang was nice. MMM prime rib, love it especially with some horseradish on it. MMMM popovers for breakfast too. Glad you are getting the awesome spot for the Art Walk. Glad you got your propane at the lower price and yikes on those wind chills...I shiver just reading them.
Awesome pic of the dome, YAH. Hope hubby got the shoveling done and helped with cleaning off your van too. I am sorry you had to go out in the weather today and sure hope you can get a battery soon too.
Dianna, hope your hubby got to the train day and DD and Gkids got to visit with you.
Bama, we used to get pizza from Godfather's in Sacto years back and we liked theirs too. I love the Maxine comic...so funny.
Oh Angii, HUGS to you and so sorry your dad isn't cooperating. Seems he doesn't appreciate all you do and what it will mean to him. He is lucky to have you over the years. I hope maybe he gets better and if you continue as you were till you are ready.
Sounds like a nice Saturday and all is well, just the change in schedule and stuff I am getting done.
Sorry your day didn't go as planned, Dianna.
Well I am all caught up again and off to nap time,
Just a thought? Rather be fat than any of those things right? The roads were very icy both ways! That hard kind of ice that just stays on the road and salt doesn't work in these temps and they sure don't want to sand them yet! Just had to go slow and started earlier. No Sue, Dh was in bed and I had to go and brush the snow off the van Was drifted around it. I could use some High boots. But it started right away. Now its going to be colder tonight even so I'm hoping no one calls in. Tried to sound like I wouldn't be available I did pull my sciatic nerve or? a little bit and boy for a little bit, sure hurts when you move a certain way! I did go son's and carried some water then after watching tv and enjoying it there. Didn't wait for him to come home though, so cold outside and he works tomorrow so figured he might want to nap and watch tv etc. as he doesn't have to go until 11:30 a.m. And only 5 min. away Not as much snow in town, just all icy roads.
Bama, love the graphic And hope you get to enjoy your DD next week to. Your lucky you can go to warmer places soon
Di, love your graphic's to Boy those forecasts sure do interfere with plans hey? I know thats how its been around here to. Hope you enjoyed your day anyway.
At least my DB and SIL didn't go through any bad storms on their way back from out west but had to miss a wedding and some meetings because of their sore throats. Then all the Big snow when they got back!! Neighbor had plowed enough so they could get to garage.
Angii, just do what you think will be best and your dad I'm sure will know its time and he might even enjoy the people at the nursing home when he does go. You sure did your best to prolong his stay there. Hugs!
Barb, I know, I got a big electric bill from trying to heat with that also! Just trying to keep oil longer but....
I just know they said in MI. that propane has a shortage so up to almost $6 instead of the almost $2 before. So many people went to that around here lately.
Well I should soak my feet for a while I think as the tops are hurting as usual. Have a nice evening or night for some of you and Sue I'm glad your ok as when your not here I tend to worry You sure catch up great though! Have a super 'me' day all!! Yah
Hi again,
I am with you YAH, I'd rather be fat too than the other options. Oh I hated those kind of roads too, YAH. Sorry hubby was up to help you. I hope no calls in too and I think a pair of boots for yourself are in order...HIGH one! Oh no on pulling your sciatic nerve or ? Too. Glad you got to stop at your son's too. Hope your foot soak helps and sorry about that, but with our new schedule I was all off this week. I do post on cardio every day and will have do the same here...just say HI and bye if I have to....and then catch up later like I did. Thanks looking forward to my me day. I am hoping no call in so you can read your back, feet and body and not have to go out in the cold and snow.
Well off to clean up after dinner,
Morning ladies,
Not much to report from the northwoods. Light snow, headed for bitter cold again. Same old, same old. Our water froze up Friday night (early Saturday morning, actually). Makes me so mad because where it freezes is at the junction in the street. We have everything wrapped up, heat tape, straw and snow piled on the line, and it freezes under the road. Evidently it's still our responsibility. Anyway, had to call the City to come out and zap the line. Overtime 'cause it was on a weekend, too. Don't know what that cost me, but I'll find out when we get our electric/water/sewer bill next month. I think a call is about $100, plus the overtime. Not likely that they'll fix it anytime soon - like probably not ever. So, we are supposed to keep a small stream of water running -- until the ice goes off the lake, which will be sometime in April or May, if we're lucky. I hate the waste! We will be looking into a permanent fix, but that's thousands of dollars. Our water rates are reasonable, but our sewer rates are outrageous. Don't say it -- I'm beginning to believe that there is a little black cloud following me around. That's not how I live!! Anyway, enough of my rant.
Sending you lots of (((hugs))), Angii. I know you will make the right decisions and you have to do what is best for everyone, including you! I hear ya on not wanting to go back to work. I'm dreading even looking for a summer part-time job.
Love the J.K. Rowlings quote, YAH!
DH is cooking breakfast (yay!) and it's almost ready. BBL
Sadly today it would be a legitimate question in many cases!
Well didn't get to watch Wolverine Wednesday night as it's a very long movie and we didn't get an early enough start. That was alright, we watched 2 more episodes of Castle and checked some more disks. Was a very nice night, plus got us off to bed time a bit earlier, unfortunately with Charlie Sheen and then one of my favorite ladies, Joy Behar came out and we ended up watching her, she is such a hoot..I remember getting to see her do stand up back in the day in the Catskills. Got to see a LOT of good comedians there, as they a very large majority got their start there.
Slept but have had better nights' sleep. Weird dreams and a snoring hubby LOL Did however get all my dusting done Wednesday night after dinner and only had the bedroom to do on Thursday and then vacuumed after breakfast.
After OJ I put a load of stuff in for the gentle cycle on Lucy and then cleaned up the lettuce we got, put it in the colander and on a dish and in the fridge it went to drain and crisp up. It's now wrapped and in the fridge and will make us up 2 small salads Friday to go along with our dinner Friday night.
Got my mail cleared out, some correspondence out.
Oh have a question for you...what are your McCormick pepper prices like where you are? Ours went from $2.38 to $4.38 at Winco...crazy. I wrote to McCormick but they of course said they have no control over prices. But it's also in the high $4 range at SaveMart too. They said they will send me coupons, so we shall see.
Did some other checking too, plus changed my nose piece and will have to order some more of those too, soon.
Got the numbers from hubby for the bill pays and that's on our sheet too. Also got more computer maintenance done too, plus worked on some pics. In addition Lucy & Ethel got my load of sweaters, etc done too.
We had a yummy breakfast for dinner Thursday night...scrambled eggs in a tortilla. Took longer to cook as we like them light and fluffy and hubby does a marvelous job of cooking them up. Buddy was thrilled as he got to have some scrambled eggs too LOL
Even with it taking longer, we did get Wolverine in Thursday night and it was good.
I was exhausted and even dozed off watching Jeopardy as WOF we lost the signal for. We've had very HIGH and bad winds Thursday and AQ was 152. YUCK!
More strange and weird dreams on Thursday night and woke up tired again on Friday. Will be very glad when my thyroid pills get here so I have a full dosage to take, as I am sure that is not helping my tiredness or chills.
Friday got my workout in, made up our salads for dinner. I am having one of my Gorton's Skillet Crisp Garlic and Herb Tilapia Fillets in between 2 slices of Italian bread with a slice of lettuce and a little Wish Light Parmesan Peppercorn Ranch dressing on the bread along with my small salad with that small dressing...dessert a scoop of Candy Cane ice cream.
Also got our Netflix lists updated and picked out our next movie and went through hubby's Amazon list. Got a bunch of other things checked and cleared off my list. Got our budget numbers for 2013 all done too, plus got 8 more of my 45 records' songs cleaned up too before lunch. After lunch, I did my mail and then put a couple of fun articles up on the blog.
OMG the tilapia fillets were just fantastic between the Italian bread. I toasted the Italian bread and then after I made up the sandwich, popped it in the microwave to heat it all back up again and it was just fantastic and the fish stayed nice and hot. I hate my food getting cold and this was so yummy. A definite repeat for me. Plus I still have one fillet left....so I shall be doing it again.
Had a nice night of TV with the last episode of Castle and one of the Dukes of Hazzard too. We finished checking disk and now only have 1 disk left and will be done.
Oh and my Lucy has a new agitator, as Martine came on Friday too and replaced it, so Lucy is very happy and so am I.
Saturday got my dusting done, the towels ready for Lucy and all my normal Saturday stuff I do while Chuck is washing up. He came out and wanted to start breakfast and I hadn't gotten a chance to go in and check mail, do up my food journal, sign in and all that stuff. So I will have to adjust that for next Saturday. Of course we had words, but I told him, it won't happen next Saturday as I will do all the other stuff after. Only means the time will still be used up for me...and then it will impinge on his time after breakfast, so deal with it I say! He says you could just not get on, well yeah, but while I am washing up, making the bed up and dusting in there, you have some time too to do stuff. Not a lot but some, as he takes Buddy out and feeds him and sets up our morning stuff. Something I will have to contemplate on LOL
Hubby made up pancakes for Buddy today, so Buddy was thrilled. He also made up some for himself too for dinner tonight as he doesn't want his frittata. I told him, I was having mine. However, I had to laugh as for over a year and a half now I told him to use the nice big plastic measuring cup with a pour spout to dispense the batter. So today he tried it, went to go get it and mind you I just showed him earlier this week where it was, so he opens the cabinet and bends over and says oh I don't know where it is. So I walk over and grab it off the top of the blender bottom and if it was any closer it would have bitten on the nose. However with the new batter we got (thinking that's why the other pancakes were a bit tough....the batter was old) they came out very nice and light. Plus Buddy got a small one to have today...yeah I know he's so spoiled. But he's worth it.
Hubby got some great pics of a squirrel in the tree out by us too.
Got a bunch of stuff checked and other stuff added to our wish list at the DVD club too. Plus watched my workout for next week. Can't believe the month is almost over.
Best of all Saturday I got both my thyroid meds in and my prednisone...so Sunday I can go back to having a full dosage. Hallelujah!
Weather has been nuts here. While the rest of the country is freezing, we are breaking record highs, right and left. Friday it was 78 degrees...we NEED rain...and winds as all the high temps are doing is keeping this crummy air quality and making it worse and worse each day.
It's Sunday, Sunday Sunday and am looking forward to me my day...my boudoir is all ready for me with my 'product' LOL and as is the norm, clean sheets, taping shows and Lucy chugging away are also going on. Off to breakfast as Buddy is ready for his pancake and I am ready for my English muffin with some of that yummy chunky PB I bought.
So have a great Sunday and same for the evening,
We used to go and do this back in the day too, minus the making fun!
You tell em Koko!
Good morning, all,
I'm totally impressed that you are ready for your taxes already, Dianna. Good for you! Sorry you didn't get to see your DD and GK, but it sounds like you had a nice day anyway.
Sounds like a nice day for you, too, Bama, and hope the weather doesn't keep you from enjoying some time with your DD and GD next weekend.
Thanks, Sue. So far I can't find an accredited health coach program online. I guess because it's a fairly new area, the legislation and regulation hasn't caught up yet. Some universities have certificate programs, like Duke, but nowhere around here. I haven't bought pepper lately, except for the McCormick Grinders, but they were on sale for $.99 a few weeks ago. I wonder why the price hike if it didn't start with McCormick raising their prices. Glad your medications came in, and hope the full-dose thyroid pills help with your tiredness and coldness. Enjoy your Me Day!
Love the quote, YAH, and I totally agree--being mean is so much worse than being fat, they are hardly even comparable. I'm sorry about the sciatica and hope it was gone when you woke up this morning. Hoping for no call in for you, too. What size shoe do you wear? I have some boots that I don't wear because they are too small for me.
Oh, Barb, sorry about the frozen water. I would hate the waste, too. You could always run it into a pot for use, but I guess you don't really need barrels of water sitting around your kitchen or bathroom, waiting to be used! That is so frustrating that it's your responsibility when it's in a place you have no control over. Sending hugs your way.
Hope your weekend has improved over yesterday, Angii.
Not quite sure what I'm going to do this afternoon after everyone is fed. Do the puzzles from the paper, do some reading. . . maybe work on a crafty project. I need to start some more steel cut oats soaking as DH and I both loved them yesterday and this morning. Wishing you all a wonderful, rejuvenating day!
Good Afternoon! I try not to give up! One day at a time i guess. Well luckily no call in and really hoping not tomorrow either. Suppose to snow which it is already but more later and tonight plus high of -4 for tomorrow's temp! Now thats the coldest one we got so far! I work Tues. so I hope the snow is call a bit better by then. With the wind, I'm sure the wind chills will be drastic to.
Barb, so sorry about the frozen water pipes! I know my son's are by his driveway and go about 60 ft. to the road and he has to plow it so no snow on it but he said the warm stuff going out to sewer should help and so far, its been ok. Our's is a drilled well so it comes in from side of house. And Dh has a big snowbank over the pipe going to the septic tank Hope somehow you don't have to pay for it all!
Sue, well you can start blowing some of that Hot air our way anytime! Wonder if its cause of those fires that your AQ is so bad? I see one in Portland, Oregon to and i think there was one closer? So dry and drought in places I guess. They can have some of our snow. Glad you got a new agitator! My DIL"s sis is having to get a new bunch for her new Frigedere washer as its been chewing up her new clothes, nice big sheets she got for xmas etc.! They didn't help much when she called about it so she had a friend call and their coming to fix it, free! Warrant on it so..... thats what I need a good strong talking woman to call for me for things Love the comic's and so funny with the hose and I used to love sitting at mall watching also! No one to have fun with though, just love people watching and you get some ideas on what to wear and Not wear! Haven't done it since the kids were small I guess. They would be gone together to look in the stores as wasn't a scary place then. Have a great 'me' day and I'm sure you will!
I slept to late for 'patch', had dreams to. Got a tape with sermon on it but it was a wrong one and glad I found it as it was me giving myself a Finnish talking lesson from long ago! So am going to play it once a day at least, and try to remember stuff as I understand it good when I talk in Finnish on it, as I really used the tones and sounds to the language, got ABC's , counting way up there, colors, things in kitchen, bathroom, things to say to people, just a lot of things in Finnish My voice sounded a lot better back then to! It started with a little bit off a old recorder my DB had, with my oldest son saying things on it and it must have been on one of the trips up the farm when my DS and BIL and DB were there with their kids as I have a little bit of my missing niece on there to talking. I can just picture it all when I hear it! That was in 1970's. DB had only 2 of his 8 kids then.
Mo, I wear a size 8 or 8 and a half sometimes shoe and get wide usually but my calves are wider anyway and I'm sure your calves aren't I would have to get the widest one's if their tall at all. With zippers very easy to bend over and use Thanks for thinking of me though Hope you have a nice 'me' day to! Hope you find some kind of program to get more prepared for your dream job
I see Dh didn't shovel deck at all so i will have to go out to do it a bit or birds will never find the seeds as a lot of snow has come in 2 days. And it looks like a continuing today and who knows. If it snows, it should be warm! I saw that the Big Mac was looking pretty bad again today also so may be closed again if winds start blowing also. Have a feeling no school tomorrow.
Had a good team yesterday at work and one lady helped with cleaning dryers at the end. She did one and I did the other Course I did bring some extra chocolate stuff with me also
Di and Bama, hope you are having some nice quiet time and enjoying your day!
Angii, hoping things are better today! Well off to shovel a bit and carefully to. Yah
Afternoon all, Only quickly went thru the posts. Got my nose stuck in a Sisterhood book and was just taking a break. I saw Mo, that you are cooking the Steel Cut oats and I was wondering if you were cooking them in the Crock Pot . My other forum which is a Crock Pot forum has many that cook them overnite in their crock and really like them . I did buy some and may remember to do it tonite. Well let you know if I do. Now I need to get back to my book . BBL later this evening to finishing reading the posts.
I cooked my oats on the stove, Bama, but first I soaked them for 24 hours in warm water with apple cider vinegar and buckwheat. Is it necessary? I don't know, but they sure were delicious. Kinda funny DH and I were both so into them--we are talking about oatmeal! Here's the soaking method I followed (I didn't use the cooking recipe, just cooked them in water and then stirred in some almond milk near the end):
YAH, glad you had some good help yesterday. And you are a wise woman--chocolate is a great motivator! So cool about your Finn tape! I wish I knew more. I have a vocabulary of about a dozen words from my grandparents, mostly to count to ten and the words for "bread, milk, porridge, butter, sleep, sit." And "little bird" because that's what Gramma used to call me. Now I'm learning some swear words from DA, but that isn't exactly ideal! Our feet are about the same size then, it sounds like, bummer.
Things are a little better today. I went through our budget, and on Cody's income, and what I get for Sissy, we could pay all our bills, and have a very little bit left for groceries and gas. Not really doable at this point without me going back to work. But maybe in a year if I can get some growth with Herbalife, and we can get some things paid off. We can make it with out me going back to work.
Oh Barb, you poor thing and it seems you can't get a break and wow on the city not just fixing that. Seems to me it should be their responsibility. What are the customers paying for. Makes me so mad.
Oh Molasses, I love the McCormick grinders too and wow 99 cents is great. McCormick's wrote to me that they have no control over the store prices, well DUH I know that but it must be costing them more to carry it for the price to go up and that means it starts with McCormick. Sorry there aren't any universities in your area. Maybe someone in the health arena in Duke might now of one in your area or close by. Yes, I am hoping the full thyroid pill kicks in too. Plus I have to wait a week or so before I can schedule my blood tests and then get myself back to my primary.
YAH, you are giving us some wonderful quotes and the one today is one of my favorites...one small change at a time. Glad no call in today and hoping none tomorrow either. Yikes minus 4....brrrr Hope the weather is a bit better when you go in on Tuesday. I am blowing hot air your way. Our bad AQ is because we have had NO RAIN and this is our rainy period...November, December, January and February, but NOTHING NADA ZIP....and since we are in a valley all the bad stuff accumulates and doesn't go anywhere...giving us bad air. And yes with no rain, it's dry and the fires we have had are just making it worse. Our sky actually looked dirty last night...YUCK.
Our my agitator was just popping up and out it wasn't snapping in like it should. So he bought over a whole new assembly.
Oh no your poor DIL's sister. Glad they are coming to fix it. My kind of gal, make a big stink and talk strong and you get things done. Glad you enjoyed the comics. Yes, us too back in our early days. We could afford a ice cream from Baskin Robbins as they were cheap back then and so were the chocolate chip cookies too. We'd walk around and just people watch. Yeah malls today are scary places with all the nut job out there. How neat on the Finnish talking lesson. You will have to talk to us in Finnish once you get it down pat. Had a very nice 'me day' and sorry and glad you slept in a bit, but sorry about missing the patch though. How cool on the tape and wow 8 kids....reminds me of the show Eight Is Enough...I loved that show. Sorry hubby didn't shovel the deck. Hope you were careful and I am sure the birdies appreciated it. Glad you had a good team at work.
I see you and Fern are having a wonderful time together Bama...which one are you up to now?
Yeah Molasses I so wish my father and grandmother had let me learn English when I came back from Germany with my mom when I was young and also keep the German but after telling them in perfect German what my Opa told me to do the dog that scared me "punch him in the nose and kick him in the a$$" well both my father and grandmother went of the deep end LOL But like yourself I know the numbers and certain words too. Plus I can see the Elvis song....Wooden Heart (all the German parts) along with the English LOL
Oh Angii, I see you have checked it all out and I hope it all works out. While I have no idea what happened I would give it a couple of weeks or more before you make a finals decision. JMHO My continued prayers and HUGS.
I am all cherry blossomed and off to work on some pictures and play some Bookworm.
Well as not to many to encourage me around here, I guess all you ladies are my motivaters for sure! And I thank you very much!
Bama, I don't seem to get any reading done in the day, only the tiny bit on breaks at work and when I go bed but I still get lots done Glad you got to enjoy your day!
Angii, hopefully everything will fall into place and your business will also fly high!
Sue, LOL about the German talk there! Since my parents only talked Finnish in my younger years, thats all I knew also, but had to switch to go school I see on the tape where I shut off the tape between certain things, must have been to say it the Right way as I understand it! Glad you had a great 'me' day also and so sorry about the air as if your in a valley, must get more pretty thick there! I see some earthquakes higher north of you also
Mo, you must have learned Coffee in Finnish also right? Seems my first words were, I want coffee and bread in Finnish Biku Lindu is what you were called then? If I spelled that right Means little bird Maybe I should play this in my ears while sleeping and take it all in hey? I guess visiting with my mom a lot and sometimes they would talk Finnish, well I got to understand it also. I always try to say stuff in Finnish to residents at work that I know are old Finlanders and I think they like it and start talking to me. Now I'll have a few more words maybe.
Hope you all are enjoying your evening and sleep good also! So hoping I don't get called in! Its a Monday, never know. C U, Yah

This Week's Trivia Answer
Posted by: Kelley Welf on Oct 28, 2010
The answer to yesterday's Trivia Question is: Whales.
In 1964, Charles Lindbergh first learned that the great blue whales and great finbacks were endangered. He sprung into action and got the editors of Reader's Digest to become interested in this subject. He attended meetings of the International Whaling Commission, and wrote letters to the Prime Minister of Japan and the President of Peru, to warn them that continued whaling could cause the extinction of these animals. He also wrote to ambassadors and cabinet members in the U.S. government asking them to apply pressure on those countries, and encourage whaling bans until the whales could reproduce sufficiently. According to A. Scott Berg's biography, Lindbergh, Charles even permitted a photographer from Life magazine to join him and his son on a two-week gray whale-watching trip to help the cause.
Today, the Lindbergh Foundation is also on the side of whales. Paul Slusser and Daniel Geery are using remotely operated hyperblimp airships to study the endangered right whales. This technology allows the animals to be observed without disturbing them. You can read more about this exciting research here.
Thanks for participating in our Trivia Question. If you enjoy the trivia, please comment and let me know. While you're at it, let me know what you'd like to read more about from the Lindbergh Foundation Blog.

The Kick Off and National Night out events, which were previously hosted in August, have been moved to October this year in order to take advantage of the cooler weather.
As always, there will be exciting entertainment including children's activities, various displays and demonstrations by law enforcement professionals, live music and great food – ALL FREE!

This is an excellent opportunity for people considering a career in law enforcement to have their questions answered by experts in each field and to find out what their jobs are all about. It's also a great time for citizens and officials to interact and to discuss important issues in our community.
The Kick-Off Party is a prelude to the 29th Annual National Night Out Against Crime, which St. James Parish will observe on the evening of Tuesday, October 16, 2011. Citizens can help us celebrate this event in a variety of ways, such as having a block party, a cookout, flashlight walks, or by sitting on their front porch with their lights on – a symbol that has become a tradition over the years. Those organizing parties or gatherings on October 11 are encouraged to call Capt. Craig Poche with the St. James Parish Sheriff's Office to have officers visit their neighborhoods. Please join us in promoting crime prevention awareness and neighborhood unity in the fight against crime!

It's normal for many parents to disagree regarding the proper way to raise and educate their children. Sadly, such disagreements become more prominent when two parties decide to divorce. Naturally, if you no longer wish to cohabit with your partner, you probably no longer trust that person to make many parental decisions.
This is when your family lawyer will come into play. For example, if your visitation rights are being threatened, your attorney can negotiate with the other party and ensure his/her visitation rights are being respected. When a child is living primarily with one parent, this can make it hard for the other parent to visit with the child, particularly in cases where the recently separated parents are living in different cities, or even different states.
What we see lately are parties proposing Skype visitation during the week in addition to regular weekend visitation. While such Skype requests are liberally granted, it leaves us wondering, are these Skype visits sufficient?
The parent/child relationship is one that is formed over a period of time and often requires trust, love and affection. When parents use Skype visitation as a way to maintain, or even more challenging, to refresh a parent/child relationship, they're missing out on those aspects of the bonding experience. As technology progresses, these methods will be increasingly utilized for visitation, but make sure your lawyer demands more to ensure your visitation is as valuable as possible.

Thank you Card
Circle Classic Thank You Cards Affordable, helpful staff, on point with timing and tracking, many color options. Even helped to customize the back of our invitations when we wrote a note in the comment section. I used Magnet Street for invitations, programs and Thank you cards. Very happy with them!
Very similar to how it appeared on the proof.
Circle Classic Save the Date Magnets Very nice magnets. They are very similar to how they appeared on the website.
Exactly what I was looking for
Circle Classic Tea-length Invitations Very impressed with these invites; they turned out perfect! They are good quality, simple, yet elogent and preppy.
Lovely RSVPs
Circle Classic RSVP Postcards I loved the way these turned out! The quality was great and the look amazing!
Simple and Classic
Circle Classic Save the Date Cards I was really happy with the card. I wanted something with hints of navy, and that was basic, simple, but looked classy and elegant. It was a little smaller than I anticipated, but that's because I didn't pay much attention to the measurements listed. Additionally, I was happy that I could easily add our website address to share with guests, and that it didn't impact the design of the card. t have already gotten compliments from our friends on the cards.
