Hello. I have been snooping around the boards lately trying to see what they are all about.
I am pregnant with our first child. A baby boy, due May 3, 2009 who is diagnosed with Down Syndrom and AV Canal Defect (the doctor said after the surgery it will be nothing to worry about). We had an amnio done because the multiple marker screen came back abnormal, and the heart defect was found at our 20 week ultrasound, so we had the amnio done right then. The doctor said that the amnio would help give them more information to make sure the baby received the proper care (otherwise I don't think we would have done it).
At 28 I never expected this to even be possible, but have come to realize that I am going to love my little boy no matter what. I am still on that emotional rollercoaster, and go through spells but deep down I know that he will be a joy and a delight no matter how challenging it may get.
I hope to get positive feedback, words of wisdom, and support from this board.

"Awesome Camiguin" Top 5 Page for this destination Camiguin Island by 05nov05
Camiguin Island Travel Guide: 55 reviews and 210 photos
Our day started at 6am, April 5. It was also our 17th month anniversary. Joal and I were so excited to go to White Island, which can be viewed from our resort. It would just take 10-15 minute boat ride to white island which costs P400. We stayed there for 2 hrs. Joal and I had roasted chicken, instant cup noodles and milo for breakfast. The price was affordable.
White Island was just a small island, as in literally small. There were no trees, or big rocks..only white sand, cottages (also restaurants), clear blue water and people. It has a good view of Mt. Vulcan and Mt. Hibok-Hibok. Since white island is a good time for snorkeling and swimming, joal and i took advantage of the 1 and a half hours remaining. Joal did enjoy his new speedo snorkeling gadgets. It is best to go in white island in the morning during low tide, as most of it disappears under the sea in the afternoon.
Kris informed us ahead of time that he wouldn't be able to tour us anymore but sent his cousin, Titing. The 8-hour day tour costs P1500. After white island, Titing brought us to ardent hot spring. I like it there though I didn't swim. Joal and I planned to go back there the next day as we only stayed there for 30 mins.
We then proceeded to Katibawasan falls. Its waterfalls measure about 250 feet high cascades to a rock pool surrounded by ground orchids, wild ferns, trees and boulders. We left after taking some pictures and headed to Catarman Church Ruins.
It's close to 12noon and we wanted to have lunch at J&A Fishpen, but Titing said it's out of the way so we just decided to have lunch at Manitigues Island (P500 boat ride). The island has 4 hectares of evergreen forest fringed with white sandy beach. It's good for swimming and snorkeling as it's also known as a fish sanctuary. Ka Roger (0920.230.0607) accommodated us. He's so nice and very friendly. He said we can actually stay there for a night for P800, but of course we can't. He served us good food for our lunch such as swordfish, seaweeds and soup which cost P800. The water in Mantigue Island is almost the same as in White Island - blue crystal in color and the sand is powdery white.
We didn't stay any longer at Mantigue Island as we had to go back to Camiguin Island where Titing is waiting for us. From there we headed to Mt. Vulcan. It was Maundy Thursday when we came so most Camiguenos were celebrating Panaad. Panaad is a religious activity, a Lenten 64-kilometer circumferential walk that climaxes at the "Walkway to the Cross" in Catarman town on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday, and "Tabo" on Easter Sunday in Mambajao, the capital town. Soon we proceeded to Sunken Cemetery.
We exceeded the 8-hour day tour of Titing so we paid him an additional fee of P200. Joal and I were so dead-tired and yet were so very happy about the trip. We ended the day with roasted chicken, chicharon and mangoes for supper.
Joal really liked the White Island so we went back there on our last day in Camiguin. Our friends Would already be going back to Manila the next day so they just opted to stay in their resort. Joal wanted to stay in White Island until 1pm. Good thing we found a boatman just infront of our resort who offered us a P200 boatride to the island. Joal snorkeled almost the whole morning while I stayed in our tent sleeping. We were supposed to go boating because Joal brought his inflatable boat but we changed our minds because of the waves. Soon the sun disappeared and the rain fell. Joal went back to the tent and we both slept. We woke up when it's already 12:30 and the boatman returned to fetch us. It rained harder when we left the island and couldn't even see it from our resort.
After we had our lunch at the resort, Joal set up the hammock he bought from Mt. Vulcan. It was so relaxing to lay there reading magazine.
- In a nutshell:The best summer getaway... ever!

AJAC And Green Living Announce Collaboration On New Canadian Green Car Award
TORONTO, Feb. 14, 2013 /CNW/ - AJAC (Automobile Journalists Association of Canada) and Green Living jointly announced today, at the Canadian International Auto Show, that they are collaborating to create a new, annual Canadian Green Car award program. The winner of the initial Canadian Green Car award, presented by AJAC and Green Living, will be announced at the Green Living Show in Toronto on April 12, 2013.To compete for the award, Canadian auto manufacturers and distributors have been invited to enter 2013 and 2014 model vehicles that satisfy specific target criteria for such things as fuel consumption and exhaust emissions and incorporate environmentally-friendly technologies, including hybrids, plug-in hybrids, battery electric vehicles, clean diesels and advanced conventional technologies. This award is not part of AJAC's long-established and broad-based Canadian Car of the Year program, the 2013 winners of which were also announced here today. Rather the Canadian Green Car award will focus more directly on the overall environmental impact of the vehicles, with consideration for their real-world functional capabilities and overall value equation. "The strong connection of AJAC with the Canadian car-buying public, as well as Green Living's strong connection with environmentally-conscious consumers, will work together to achieve the goals common to both organizations - namely, providing relevant, trustworthy and criteria-driven advice to Canadians," says Charles Renny, president of AJAC. "Each year at the Green Living Show consumers will have the opportunity to view and test drive the most innovative auto technology on the market," says Laurie Simmonds, CEO, Green Living Enterprises. "Canadians are interested in finding the most attractive and fuel-efficient solutions for their transportation needs. We are thrilled to partner with AJAC to recognize Canada's automotive industry and celebrate the first ever Canadian Green Car award winner at the 2013 Green Living Show." The top five finalists will be featured on the Green Living Show floor from April 12th-14th, and the Green Car Award will be presented by AJAC on the mainstage on Friday, April 12th at the Direct Energy Centre.

Lynx is showing the reactions of passengers to couples snogging on buses in a digital and social media extension of its marketing push for its new Attract deodorant for men and women.The Unilever-owned deodorant brand has rolled out an online video, created by Tullo Marshall Warren, which shows several couples snogging on a bus journey from Leeds to Wakefield, to explain the "chaos" Lynx Attracts creates when men and women wear it.
The video, which has been seeded on YouTube and Facebook, captures unsuspecting passengers' reactions. Graeme Noble was the creative director, Jeff Bowerman the deputy creative director and Alex King the copywriter. Threefold was the production company involved.
TMW has also created a Facebook app, called 'Chaos Watch' which enables users to map sightings of Lynx-related chaos on a map of the UK.
Lynx launched the Attract brand on 23 January, with a digital teaser campaign.
It rolled out its above the line campaign for Attract at the start of this month, with a TV ad, by BBH, showing a series of events that cause chaos to rip through a city.
It features the strapline 'Unleash the chaos'.

It's called "cruise control." And it's something that every drug smuggler would do well to familiarize themselves with if they plan on using a car or truck to transport illegal goods. Vancouver's Michael Brachais apparently forgot about that 60-year-old bit of technology on Sunday and was pulled over in Oregon for going 16 miles-per-hour over the speed limit. It didn't take long after that for cops to find his load of weed and guns.
According to Edwards, Brachais was cruising along in his 2000 Plymouth van south of Eugene with his speedometer clocking at 81 mph in the 65 mph zone.
That's when Oregon State Troopers clocked his speed and pulled him over. Almost immediately, the cops became suspicious that he wasn't a typical speeder, so they ordered a police dog to come sniff around.
Sure enough, doggie found 1.5 pounds of marijuana (from the looks of the pics, good shit too) along with two pistols, a shotgun and a rifle, two of which were stolen.
Now homeboy's in jail on charges of unlawful possession, distribution, and manufacturing of a controlled substance, being a felon in possession of a firearm and first-degree theft.
All because he forgot to click the button on his steering wheel.

Wind debate might come before recommendation
ST. JOHNSBURY — Some Vermont legislators pushing for moratorium on wind power projects believe a pending recommendation from a commission created to review the sites won't come in time to influence debate on the bill.
The commission's deadline is April 30, with a draft report expected by the end of March.
Sen. John Rodgers on the committee on Energy and Natural Resources says the panel will have already moved on the bill by then.
Rodgers tells the Caledonian-Record he and other senators want a moratorium to study health impacts of the projects and receive recommendations from the commission.
The five-member energy siting commission formed by Gov. Peter Shumlin conducted a site visit of the Lowell and Sheffield wind projects last week.MORE IN This Just InROCKINGHAM Wildlife will be celebrated at the 17th annual Herricks Cove Wildlife Festival...

MGM Resorts International, Kangaroo Express, And University Of Phoenix Team With American Red Cross Through Service To The Armed Forces Giving Program
WASHINGTON, May 14, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Supporting members of the U.S. military, veterans and their families is an important part of the mission of the American Red Cross, and MGM Resorts International, University of Phoenix ®, and now Pantry/Kangaroo Express, help that important effort through the Red Cross Service to the Armed Forces (SAF) Giving Program.This program was started in May 2012, coinciding with Armed Forces Day May 18, when America honors and recognizes the critical contributions of our nation's service members. Members of the SAF Giving Program are corporations and foundations that make an annual commitment to support Red Cross Service to the Armed Forces."We are incredibly thankful to the University of Phoenix and MGM Resorts for their continued contributions to the SAF Giving Program and welcome Kangaroo Express in its commitment to supporting our work with the military community," said Sherri Brown, senior vice president of Red Cross Service to the Armed Forces. "The Red Cross helps thousands of service members, veterans and their families each year and the generous support of these organizations helps to ensure the Red Cross will be there for our military for years to come." Kangaroo Express is the latest organization to join the Red Cross' military support mission through the Service to the Armed Forces (SAF) Giving Program. This summer, customers shopping at Kangaroo Express will have the opportunity to give back through a customer donation program helping to provide continued Red Cross services to America's military families. Kangaroo Express is the leading independently operated convenience store chain in southeastern United States, operated by The Pantry, Inc. "Considering more than one-third of our employees have a direct connection to the military, supporting our troops is supporting our family," said Gordon Schmidt, senior vice president of Operations, Kangaroo Express. "This summer, our guests and associates will rally together for the fourth annual Kangaroo Express Salute Our Troops campaign to raise funds for dedicated military support organizations like the American Red Cross' Service to the Armed Forces. It is through these organizations that we are able to help support our military families when they need it most." MGM Resorts is supporting the "Boots to Business" program, which, in partnership with the Red Cross, provides pre-employment support services and management training to prepare veterans for managerial positions with MGM Resorts. "Boots to Business" also provides deployment support for current MGM employees who are called to duty, as well as ongoing assistance in the form of mentoring and networking.

New Federal Travel System: Concur Government Edition (CGE)
Concur Government Edition (CGE)
PSC Launches New HHS Travel System
CGE System Is Live! Will Help HHS 'Travel Smarter'
The new system is live! PSC has launched a new and improved HHS-wide travel system that offers enhanced features and benefits for travelers. The system makes the experience easier and enables smarter travel.
PSC's Travel Program Management service is managing the HHS-wide transition to the new federal travel system, Concur Government Edition (CGE). PSC has completed a CDC pilot, CMS and NIH are fully deployed, and we are on target to complete everyone in HHS by the end of July.
The system expands on the successes of GovTrip (ETS1) to provide greater ease of use and expanded functionality. There is increased automation to simplify the reservation, payment, and voucher-processing experience.
"The transition to CGE marks a major milestone in HHS, moving more from travel tracking to a more proactive strategy of travel management," said Kristin Gillham, Director, PSC Transportation Services. "Through features such as increased policy compliance controls and robust reporting capabilities, the new system will allow the Department to significantly bolster its travel budgeting and planning."
Part of managing the change is customer communications and training to ensure users are comfortable and can maximize the benefits. Comprehensive training is available, including computer-based courses in the Learning Management System, town hall webinars to allow users to ask questions and gain insights from the experts, and classroom instruction for travel administrators. PSC is also offering online demos with tips and tricks for using the system.
Some of the key features and benefits offered by CGE include:
- A more intuitive, user-friendly platform, similar to commercial booking engines like Expedia®
- Streamlined booking and authorization processes
- Creation of automatic authorizations
- E-receipts
- Quick tips on each page
- Amtrak interface so travelers can explore rail options
- Increased user security (e.g., greater protection of Personally Identifiable Information [PII])
- Improved policy compliance
In addition to providing management and transition support for the new CGE travel system, PSC's Travel Program Management offers travel program-related services such as task order development and solicitation, system management and integration, policy services, consulting and auditing, plus management of the travel charge card used by federal employees. PSC's Federal Travel Charge Card is used by employees to purchase airline and rail tickets, book lodging, and incidental items associated with official travel and local area as well as temporary-duty transportation solutions.
PSC is Managing the Business of Government™. For more information, contact the Transportation Services ETS2 team at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Thundercats | WilyKat by Emi-zoneWatch
©2013-2016 Emi-zone
Holy cow that's a cool cosplay! Super cute
I love your idea! I am doing a Wilykat cosplay as well. I am inspired by your photo! :3
Awesome work as usual! Great attention to detail! Wonder if it took an overtly high amount of hair-gel though? In all seriousness, it does feel good to take a break from the sci-fi boys and fan-fictionists. First group makes you ask too many story -based questions and the second group nit-picks worse than people with OCD! I owe you big time just for that! Anyhow, can't wait to see what comes out next!
Holy crap this is AMAZING O_O? How did you make your wig? I'm considering tackling WilyKat, and you did him 200% justice, just wow.
There are some mini progress shots here: www.cosplayisland.co.uk/costum…
within the journal section. I bought a lace front wig and a normal brown wig which was butchered into layers
and then sewn into the blonde lace front base. =]
on a second note however... drop the pouches
nailed it !!
What a adorable cosplay just like your other costumes! I really love them all!
Awesome job! The wig is impressive.
Excellent costume. Very nice job on the hair, also.
Aww, very cute. Well done!
Such an amazing costume
Old school!
Great work!
Great work!
Bad pub but blown away by attention and how the hair style is replicated also!

Just wish I managed to watch Thundercats when it was on >.<
Holy butts, is this you? WHAT
Ikr - where did my eyebrows go
That's awesome. I have to ask: how long did it take you to style the wig?
It's made up of three wigs which took about 3 days on off work to sew them together. We actually left the styling of the wigs until the morning of the event to ensure they were fresh =]
Wow you look awesome ^^
Best TC cosplay outfit I've seen
Oh my gosh, this is amazing! *___*

Hello All!
I am not sure if I am in the right place, but let me know if this sounds like something I can come here and get advice on. I already am a member of the BC's Food and Bottle Refusers, which is great also! Just was wondering around the Internet and thought I would check in here. :)
Little background: My DD is almost 15 months old. We will be going in for her appt in 2 weeks, in which I am fairly certain we will get a FTT dx. She has been a refuser of breastmilk (which she is still on) since 9 weeks old. She also refuses to eat most foods (well, quantity is worse than quality now). She was at the 84th% for weight at 9 months and then at 10 months, started walking, got sick a bunch and then dropped in to the 20s. The week before Christmas, she was hospitalized for 6 days due to dehydration, and lost even more weight, and so I think we will hear that she has dropped even more. She is pretty tall (was in the 90th percentile for height), so she looks pretty odd as a skinny infant. No rolls like my son had. She is getting a bit better now that we got her ear tubes, but she still struggles to get a 'normal' amount of milk in her per day, and food is hit or miss.
Can't wait to get to know you all!

We're Keeping You "Ahead of the Curve"… and Here's the Proof
For an old-time "news guy" like me, social-media outlets like Facebook and Twitter serve as interesting additions to my arsenal of weapons.
True, they act as additional media venues, serving as another set of "pipes" through which media companies can broadcast their work.
They're also a way for me to "see" – in almost real time – how my thinking on a particular subject is resonating with folks.

Naughty America review- 3rd revisit
Concept and Introduction
Naughty America, because you deserve it! Here's a high class and high quality collection of reality sex scenes starring the hottest porn star girls. The mega site has 40+ individual member sites, updates daily, in full 1080p HD.
Porn Talk
Everything at Naughty America is geared around bringing the fantasies of its members to life in explicit detail. Even the search tool, called the Porn Finder, is geared around this idea: you choose the Who, What, and Where of your fantasy, and it lists out scenes that fit the bill. You might look for "Housewife", "POV" and "Bathroom" and see a list of POV MILF porn with hot ladies giving and getting it in point of view bent over their vanity.
Deeper than that are the little stories of each scene; a slutty girlfriend of your sister's who stays over and sneaks into the shower to suck your dick and swallow your cum; your dad's new trophy wife and her big fake tits, that you can't keep your eyes off of; or that lucky turn of events that gets you alone with two hot babes, who are willing to do a threesome, and are just as eager to suck on the other girl's tits and pussy as they are to gag themselves on your dick and play with your cum.
The stories and acting here add a lot of erotic charge to the sex.
And the sex will never disappoint. The girls are the hottest porn star babes - Ava Adams, Dillon Harper, Melina Mason, Diamond Foxxx, Romi Rain, and the list goes on and on. The production is very top-shelf in quality, too, with great action from many angles and a few fantastic closeups as well.
Tech Talk
As one of the premier mega sites in reality porn, you would be right to expect full high def downloads and streams from Naughty America. The site's 1080p MP4 files (1920x1080; 5 mbits) deliver a fantastic quality playback in full high definition, and there's a similarly rated streaming option in Flash that you can watch right in the browser window.
For most of the recent updates they've taken things up a notch, shooting in cutting edge 4K Ultra Definition. There aren't many TVs out that even handle this yet! But if you're got a big monitor, the 4096x2160 resolutions and ultra-high bit rates (20+ mbits) will look amazing. And that's not hyperbole. The quality is jaw-dropping.
Every movie has many other ways to stream and download - lower resolutions, clips or full length scenes, alternative file formats like Windows Media. You will have no trouble finding the best options for every scene.
Don't forget to check out the massive photo sets that come with every scene, too. The pictures are high res and there's a lot of them. You can browse the 200-300 pictures in the sets online or save them in convenient zip file downloads.
Small Talk and Personal Opinion
The NA sites are among the very best of reality porn, right up there with their fierce competitors Brazzers and Reality Kings. NA has always been a little different from those sites in how it puts their movies together. The fantasy is really important in every fuck flick, and for fans who really enjoy the "reality" aspect of the niche, it's probably preferable to the other big mega sites.
In technical offerings it's near perfect, as well. Plenty of top quality download and stream options, and a well integrated members area that puts the entire network at a click of your mouse. You can browse the entire site as one collection, or focus on a specific site in the portfolio. Secondary tools let you browse and search, look up porn stars by name, and more.
In total there are 6,902+ original Naughty America porn scenes here at the time of my visit, and on average 1 or 2 new movies are added every 24 hours. Unfortunately a few of the older sites on the network aren't updated, but most have regular additions made, and a few are updated at least once every so often. They also add new sites once or twice a year.

text: I flashed the bilal_liberty sense 5.5 ROM to my phone, and during the flash, it asked to update the radio. I said yes. i got a lot of random reboots so I decided to RUU the phone and I went back to stock. then I unlocked and rooted. Once I started using my phone I noticed that I can only connect to 2G. Any chance my radio is not right or still on the radio included in the previous rom? wifi works fine. phone hasn't crashed on me, but i can only get to 2G. If I set it to wmcda only, it will not pick up a network, previously it would, even on the old rom.

It took me weeks to decide, but much to my chagrin, I have decided to go the IVF route. I always thought that I would want to do the whole thing naturally, even if it was difficult, but after 3 miscarriages, and hearing all the downer stats, I am going for it.
I am currently ovulating, but starting my bcp today. I went to an RE here in Ny, but still waiting to get test results. Unfortunately, I probably won't get them until after I leave for my trip to India where I will get the IVF done. My family runs a clinic there, and since my insurance won't pay a dime here, I have opted to spend the summer there possibly getting it done.
I am not even sure this is the right decision, maybe I am jumping the gun, and should keep trying for the perfect egg, but I feel time is running out for me....
Anyways, please wish me luck!

Camargue and white horses
I will be in Arles on one of the Rick Steve's tours in late June and will have a free afternoon. I was thinking of renting a car and driving to the Camargue. Has anyone done this? Is it feasible in an afternoon? Thanks!
I will be in Arles on one of the Rick Steve's tours in late June and will have a free afternoon. I was thinking of renting a car and driving to the Camargue. Has anyone done this? Is it feasible in an afternoon? Thanks!
We drove down from St. Remy one morning... had a lovely lunch down near the Mediterranean and saw the "chevalier blanc" and the beautiful white flamingos with technicolor markings... it was doable and wonderful...Just depends on how much time you will have that afternoon...
Yes, it's quite feasible.
The Camargue is the delta between the the Grand and Petit Rhones and the Med. It includes parts of the communes of Arles, but not the city itself. Technically, all you'd have to do is walk across the bridge. Thus concludth the geography lesson and we shall moveth right along to the language lesson. Chevalier blanc (white knight) is a toilet bowl cleaner. Cheval blanc / Chevaux blancs is/are white horse/s. Having finished the nonsense, Aigues-Mortes is a bit more than a half hour away. Mr Steves might not know it exists. It used to be a walled port, but the Med's retreated and the delta's silted in, making it a walled city. It's neat, takes about an hour to wander, and has a couple of good places to eat. It's good enough that you can overlook the touristy factor. The road through the natural park is better than the one through Saint Giles. You'll see eighty-seven gazillion flamingos going through the park and the horses after you come out. Come back the same way unless you want to cut through St Giles and see why it's not a tourist attraction for somebody that thinks all of southern France is St Remy and Les Baux.
Yes, Aigues-Mortes has been forgotten by the US tour books, but it is worth the trip; an unusual place with an interesting history. Try the local special wine. You can taste the salt of the sea in it.
I'll add that the seaside village of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer is worth a visit as well. It has a church with an interesting history and nice sandy beaches.
I think it's a great way to spend an afternoon. You could see both the seaside village of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer and Aigues-Mortes. When I was there I saw plenty of white horses. Unfortunately the only flamingos I saw were metal statues in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. Maybe you'll have better luck!
Flamingos are hard to spot. They're not the bright colored ones we have in south Florida, but more of a slightly pink white - - it has to do with what they eat. They're in herds that are always way gone from where you are - - they look like a thin, light line on the other side of the marsh. I'd always thought it was a stop-off on the Africa migration, but I read somewhere a while back that there's a permanent resident population.
I did see flamingos while traveling by train from Perpignan to Paris. I took a picture, but they just looked like a bunch of whitish dots. Oh well...
If you want to see birds, you can stop by the Parc Ornithologique de Pont de Gau right on the west road (D570). You will also see lots of stables with the famous horses and may be lucky enough to see some out in the fields. The Camarque was one of my "must sees" on our trip to France last June. It was well worth the drive, although we didn't have time to explore all of it. The part we saw of this largest river delta in Western Europe is definitely doable in an afternoon. Google says it's about 38km and takes about 33 minutes to drive from Arles to Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. But that's without stopping and gawking at the horses, visiting the birds, lunch on the beach, etc. Do it if you possibly can.
I have been there twice and the first time we saw a ton of flamingos right by the beach in Ste. Marie and saw the white horses as well. Second time we took some sort of wagon tour (we had someone in our photography group who loved birds) and we saw a total of two flamingos! My expectations were quite different from the reality... I had visions of beautiful wild white horses running through fields with pink flamingos everywhere...that did not happen. But, it was well worth the trip and I loved the little beach town as well.
Fleur de sel de Camargue makes a cheerful little souvenir. That's sea salt, produced in the ancient way by evaporation. Yes, you will taste the difference. I have the brand Le Saunier de Camargue. The sentimental value is only reduced a little by its recent wide availability in supermarkets back home.
And for a bit of trivia: the salt evaporation flats from which it comes were developed by the Phonecians. Hence the nautical term Old Salt, maybe?

Hannaford Bros.' produce departments have something in common with the local farms where its fruits and vegetables are grown: available space.

Stop in today!
Our hours have changed a bit for the new year. The weekend hours are a little shorter because we just aren't busy enough to justify the long hours on both weekend days. We needed to either shorten both days or close on Sunday, and because we have a lot of people who come to us because we are open every day, we decided to shorten both weekend days. So Saturdays we are now open from 11-7 and Sundays from 12-5. Don't worry about not being able to tan because of that pesky 24 hour rule. We've made it a 12 hour rule instead, so you should be able to come in at your pleasure once per day during our open hours. The only time this might be an issue is if you come in at closing time and get on a wait list, then try to come in right at 9am the next morning. Otherwise, you won't be bothered by the silly rules anymore. We are as happy about this as you are!!
So our resolution is to make H2O the friendly, happy, great place to be with a staff you know and love. We have a great team and resolve to keep it that way throughout 2015. A great team to make a great place for our great customers to get a great tan and have a great place to come for great fun and great friends. Isn't 2015 going to be great?!? Come spend it with us.

Well, that's what I'm hoping. I bet the reality will be that I'll have some absurd situation that leads to my permanent ban and everyone will just remember that. If I'm lucky.

New York to Get Flights on Hawaiian Airlines
(UAL - Get Report) and Delta (DAL - Get Report) offer non-stop service from their hubs in Newark and Atlanta. Both fly Boeing 767s. Hawaiian said it will be the only carrier to offer complimentary hot meals in all cabins: It will also offer introductory one-way fares of $212 in coach and $808 in first class for tickets purchased this month for travel in June 2012. The West Coast is Hawaii's largest source of tourists, and it has abundant service to Hawaii from a wide variety of cities. Hawaiian serves 10 U.S. cities. US Airways (LCC) devotes nine Boeing 757s to Phoenix-Hawaii service. However, US Airways' attempt to fly Charlotte-Honolulu, which began in April 2010, was cancelled after just four months.-- Written by Ted Reed in Charlotte, N.C. >To contact the writer of this article, click here:Currently, United Continental

Me: crossing Woodward with my boyfriend. Young guy in the passenger seat of car stopped at the Woodward red light: yells "SEXY" etc etc at me while I wait for the Congress light to change. This is about thirty, maybe forty full seconds of yelling. He's far enough away that I can't tell what he's saying, so I ignore him until some other college girls walk towards the intersection and he yells at them too about their clothing (skirts). I turn and yell at him to fuck off, notice the asshole is *holding a camcorder* and presumably had been filming my ass the entire time. Light changes, he laughs with the driver as they zoom off. Wish I had a photo or a license plate number but I don't, wish I could just shrug it off and forget about it but I can't. All I can do is sit around thinking of things I wish I had said and I hate that feeling.
Living in Brooklyn has its ups and downs….this week has most certainly hit a very low point.
The reason I haven't updated in so long is because as I was coming home from the tattoo shop on Sunday night I was robbed at gunpoint a block away from my apartment. I was walking home on any typical night when I got grabbed from behind and put up a fight…when he realized I was or could be stronger than him (I am a 4'11" tiny girl and he wasn't very strong and was only 3 inches taller than me) he grabbed my neck, pushed me against a parked SUV, cocked the trigger and stuck the cold barrel of the gun in my temple. At this point he humiliated me by ripping my glasses off and throwing them underneath the car and ripped my grandmothers gold ring off my finger.
"If you turn around and look at me you will fucking die tonight…I will put a bullet in your head"
I proceeded to give him my entire handbag that contained my wallet, credit cards, i.d., only 9 dollars in cash, my salon paycheck, my apartment keys, and old school iPod….but then he disgustingly patted me down…stuck his hands in my back jean pockets and grabbed my iphone G4 out of my front jacket pocket.
"I want you to walk to the end of this block…if you look back…if you look back or turn around…I will fucking kill you right now"
I wanted to break down. I wanted to scream…I went deaf with anxiety and walked to the end of the block as calm as possible…then I crossed the street and ran like I have never ran before in my life…luckily there is a police station a block away…
Getting all my shit back has become an utter nightmare…thank god my parents live in the next couple neighborhoods over so I can stay with them until I get mailed a new phone and my landlord sorts out the key situation of my apartment.
I am not sure I will ever be the same again…at least not for a while…you think you are safe until this actually happens to you. I am so lucky to not be killed or raped…I am trying to be strong and resume back to normal life….its been hard to sleep and feel relaxed but if I can't function then the bastard wins….in the end I will get out on top and this will make me a stronger woman than I already believe I am.
Toronto Police representative Michael Sanguinetti's words of wisdom to students at York University in January that "women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimized" was the basis for Sunday's inaugural "SlutWalk," drawing close to 1000 men and women fed up with institutionalized victim-blaming and shaming.
From the SlutWalk site:
Historically, the term 'slut' has carried a predominantly negative connotation. Aimed at those who are sexually promiscuous, be it for work or pleasure, it has primarily been women who have suffered under the burden of this label. And whether dished out as a serious indictment of one's character or merely as a flippant insult, the intent behind the word is always to wound, so we're taking it back. "Slut" is being re-appropriated.

Last Friday after work I decided to go for a run, it was a cool evening and it was starting to rain, which quickly turned to sleet and then light snow. I was less than a 1/4 mile into my run when I heard yelling — my ipod was between songs, otherwise I might have missed the specifics of it. There was a guy (I am assuming high school age) leaning out the window of a car on the other side of the street who screamed out, "Nice ass………WHORE!!!!!!!!!" I have to be honest, it wasn't just the words that upset me, it was also how he said it — there was anger in his tone, and it felt threatening.
I tried to shake it off as just a bunch of immature kids with poor judgment and kept running.
Maybe a mile later I was on Beacon St in Cambridge when the same car drove by me again with this guy again hanging out the window screaming at me — I had my ipod cranked up so I don't know what he said but the tone was, again, unmistakably angry & threatening. I was freaked out that this was the 2nd time they'd driven by me, and I was getting into less residential neighborhoods where there were fewer people on the streets — I had visions of the next time they drove past me, what if they pulled over? got out of the car? pulled me into the car?? I decided to listen to my gut, cut my run short, and turn around & head back for more populated streets & home.
Unfortunately I was not wearing my glasses & did not get the license plate #. I am getting over this but had an anxiety dream about it Friday night that involved me being cornered by a large man and calling for help that never came. I remain disturbed by the fact that somewhere, somehow, the boys/men in that car learned that harassing & threatening a woman in this way is ok.
Ironically enough last month we had a sexual harassment class. You know when they tell you what is appropriate and what isnt. I thought oh that would never happen in my school. Little did I know that it did. As I was leaving early i see this three kids that were younger than me yet bigger (I am really small) walking up the stairs as I am going down.
I am looking at my phone texting a friend, when this kid calls back "i said hey". I turn around thinking i might know this person, and i stupidly answered "i dont even know you" he starts getting all worked up saying that i should still say hi and not be rude. That just because im hot and he likes my curves doesnt mean i have to be a stuck up chick.
I just walked away and ignored him, but it bugged me. The whole way down the stairs he kept shouting stuff.
The worst thing is that if i report it the kid will prob just get a detention (if that). Cause my school (a catholic one) does the most retarded punishments, once a kid handcuff some grade 7s to a toilet, punishment: oh a 3 day suspension, no biggie. You steal something, oh no punishment if you give it back, no questions will be asked
This happened the day before spring break, before I found this site, and I feel terrible for not saying something.
I'm new at my school, so I don't get a lot of attention, which is a good thing. I was sitting next to this girl, looking out the window, minding my own business, when I overhear a guy in the seat behind me say, "Hey girl, you wanna get with this?" The girl sitting next to me said, "No, thanks," and turned back around. For the rest of the ride, he kept asking her if she wanted to have sex with him, how big his penis was, and at one point he even said, "What, you a lesbo or something?" She kept quietly saying, "No," but he wouldn't leave her alone. I wanted so badly to turn to her and say, "You don't have to put up with this, there's an empty seat up front, you can move," but I was just too afraid. He kept harassing her the whole ride, even as I was getting off.
I really wish I had said something, but now I promise myself that the next time I see another woman being harassed, I will stand up and I will speak.
This April marks the tenth anniversary of SAAM (Sexual Assault Awareness Month), and the awesome activists at SAFER (Students Active For Ending Rape) are calling for a push from awareness to activism, making this years' SAAM stand for Sexual Assault ACTIVISM Month. Students, recent alumni, parents, and teachers are encouraged to participate by "pledging" a direct action against sexual assault this month, whether by fundraising, submitting their definition of accountability to the SAFER website, or checking up on their schools' sexual assault policy and pushing for reform where necessary.
Check out this video for some student submissions of what accountability looks like to them:
One day I came back home from work and went to the drugstore to get myself something for my contact lenses since they kinda blurry that day. I was wearing the same clothes I went to work: black skirt (down to my knees) and a black tank top. Everywhere men were shouting sexual words. I've heard that kinda stuff since I can remember, so I just ignored them and even put my suit on so they'd leave me alone. I crossed the street and kept walking, but one of them must have followed. I don't know because I never look straight at them so I won't encourage them to keep talking to me like that. The guy was very quite, I didn't hear anything. At some point when he noticed there was another path to run at the left, he grabbed my left butt cheek and ran but stopped with his back at me. He wanted to see my reaction. It was part of it. I couldn't see his face but he stopped to hear me. I just said: Idiot! And kept walking. He wanted to feel powerful over me, but I didn't give him that. Didn't give him that power. It happened during daylight! And when I told my dad who is a lawyer, he was so mad and told me that our laws have changed and that is now considered rape here. No man can touch a woman without her permission. It's very serious and if I had told the police he would be charged with rape.
Women everywhere, this is not normal! We have to step out and talk about this and tell the world how we feel. This is unacceptable. Nowadays I never wear nice clothes when I go out shopping or whatever, if I have to walk… It's frustrating. Let's turn the table! Let them know we are coming for them!
I was walking over a bridge with narrow pavements either side, on my way to work. I saw three young guys walking towards me, as we got closer he stopped abruptly in my way, and said 'do you want to move out of the way, you slag'. I was infuriated, I stared him in the face but my heart was pounding so hard because I was so angry that someone could talk to a stranger like that. I actually remember that I said 'no, I don't' (I now know that wasn't the best thing to do but I was so angry). They looked at each other, smirking and walked around me, shouting abuse as they walked away. I turned around and replied with my own array of insults, but for the rest of the walk to work and back I was on edge and frankly, a bit scared.
I was walking back to my house when I saw two builder types each old enough to be my father walking towards me sniggering, and my instant reaction was 'they're going to say something to me, I should cross the road', but foolishly out of some kind of mad hope that the human race might not be full of wankers I stayed, and of course as they walked past one of them made kissing noises at me. Was so angry that I shouted 'Dream on mate' at them, cue much fake laughter from the two. The one silver lining is I then passed another man who I think overheard who gave me what might have been an encouraging smile. Unfortunately my sense of what was going on was so warped by my anger he could have been another pervert for all I know…Shame that I have to question even possible acts of kindness because of all the horrible idiots.

Frank Masi/20th Century Fox Cruise takes Diaz on an international tour of danger!
The Dinner: Sausage and onion pizza, beer, at Pagliacci (550 Queen Anne Ave. N.).
Frank Masi/20th Century Fox Cruise takes Diaz on an international tour of danger!
The Movie: Knight and Day, at Pacific Place (600 Pine St.).
The Screenplate: Alec Baldwin once advanced the idea that, for actors of his '80s generation, you couldn't become a movie star if you first became known on TV, if your face became associated with soap operas and deodorant commercials. Baldwin, currently doing some of his best-ever work on 30 Rock, has come full circle from his soap opera days. The career of Tom Cruise, only four years younger, may prove his point. While Baldwin was toiling on The Doctors and Knots Landing, Cruise went straight from Taps to Risky Business. And while Baldwin is clearly the better actor, Cruise may in fact be the last movie star of the 20th century. He's worked hard for that status; he clings to it, perhaps more than a 48-year-old (next month) should. People mock him for his smile, his stature, his energy, his couch jumping on Oprah, his cryptic serial marriages, his Scientology...and yet even a mediocre popcorn movie like Knight and Day makes you appreciate how he's still trying.
No matter what unfathomable thoughts are going on behind his now middle-aged brow, the guy sets a standard. Cruise delivers a reliable, quality product that some take for granted. Critics may be eager to mock, but those same cynics are the sort to end up in line, late at night in Lower Queen Anne, at the perennial favorite pizza joint in town...
Like Tom Cruise, Pagliacci has been around a while (it was founded in 1979). And like all his blockbusters and sub-Oscar awards, Pagliacci has long dominated our annual Best of Seattle® readers' poll. So much so, in fact, that we granted it a Best of Seattle® Lifetime Achievement Award in 2008 after dominating the "best pizza" category for 22 years. Cruise has been a movie star for about the same time.
Is Knight and Day his best movie? That's like asking if this slice of pepperoni or that slice of plain cheese at Pag's is the best you've ever ordered. I like Tom Cruise movies and I like Pagliacci, and there is a range of quality to both. Just as pizza slices may vary from overly greasy to oven-scorched, the Cruise canon ranges from Rain Man to Cocktail. Considered strictly as an actor, he's been excellent in Magnolia and a self-caricature in Mission: Impossible III. Certainly there's a vestigial bit of Ethan Hunt in Knight and Day (and a bit of Jason Bourne, as many scoffers have noted). But there's also considerably more self-lampoon to the character of Roy Miller--a CIA superspy gone rogue--than many give credit. The website Jezebel.com has fun compiling the movie's critical pans, and all of them have some foundation. I would argue, however, that the movie is best enjoyed as a cartoon version of the Cruise persona, and that the star is quite aware of the self-critique.
Since his breathtakingly funny turn as vulgar, profane Hollywood producer Les Grossman in 2008's Tropic Thunder (now supposedly to be the basis of an entire feature film), Cruise may now be seeing a way out of the leading man trap. You can't stay in those virile action roles forever. Bruce Willis got out gracefully; not so Harrison Ford. After the three very profitable Mission: Impossible movies, what more does Cruise had to prove in that department? You can't do your own stunts (or pretend to) forever. You can't take off your shirt in every movie (though Cruise does here, after whisking Cameron Diaz away to an undisclosed tropical island location). Back in 2002, he was willing to spoof himself in the Austin Powers movie Goldmember.
Knight and Day is also essentially a spoof. Secret agent Miller, who picks up June Havens (Diaz) on a flight from Kansas to Boston, radiates crazy from the start. He isn't The Spy Who Came in From the Cold so much as The Spy Who Jumped on Oprah's Couch. Nothing he says can be believed. There's no reason a girl should trust him. If his superiors (Viola Davis, Peter Sarsgaard) say he's a mendacious, criminal psycho, we should probably believe them. In his chatterbox sincerity, his loquacious chivalry toward June, he comes across as a spy off his meds, badly in need of lithium, a bipolar action hero.
Am I being glib (as Cruise once accused NBC's
Brian Williams of being)? [Correction: Matt Lauer; thanks to sharp-eyed reader below.] Fine, let me be glib. The character of Miller--nuts, lethal, polite--is completely unhinged. He says he wants to protect June, when he's obviously using her, dragging her into ever more dangerous situations all around the globe. (The plot MacGuffin is a perpetual battery you can fit in your hand, the answer to our present energy crisis.) Before landing a jet in a cornfield, Miller sensibly finishes his drink first. After their first night together, curiously lacking in sex, he covers June's apartment with considerate Post-It notes and makes her breakfast. Any sensible woman would flee, but instead June accompanies him to New York, some remote island, Austria, Spain... where they duck bullets, rescue the magical battery inventor (Paul Dano), and negotiate with arms merchants and CIA bosses. It's excessive, but so is Roy. It's implausible, but the movie, directed by James Mangold (Walk the Line, 3:10 to Yuma), never seriously asks you to believe in anything. The only question is whether the heroine can believe in the hero; in that respect, the movie owes a huge debt to Charade.
If Roy Miller (or Tom Cruise) walked into the LQA Pagliacci, talking way too much and being way too solicitous, the staff would be cool about it. They've seen weirder; they've dealt with the drunks from Peso's and Ozzie's; they've pretty much seen it all. Like the U District location, the staff is young, the house music reflects their tastes, and they're tolerant of quirky customers. In which respect, you could imagine Diaz's character, June (who restores muscle cars for a living), working there during high school. She's a tomboy pushing 30, manless, who wouldn't mind learning how to shoot guns, land jets, and battle assassins on a train. If Roy is crazy, she's liberated by that craziness.
Is Knight and Day a great movie? Of course not. But it's the most enjoyable summer action movie to date this season; the blood and violence are more Road Runner than Jason Bourne, and no one--including the director and stars--seems too invested in convincing you this isn't also a cartoon. If, following the film, my tab at Pag's was $10.11 (two slices and a pint of Mac & Jack's), same as a movie ticket, both experiences were also equal in value.

Family Reunion Activities Planned For You
Summer time is one of my most favorite times because it's a great excuse to get together with your family. It's also the perfect time to plan family reunions. Planning the perfect reunion can be difficult.
That's why I gathered the most unique and fun activities to help you plan your next family reunion.
I've narrowed down 50 ideas that are all fun, exciting, and will help YOU plan the most memorable family reunion!
Usually I like to list each idea by putting them into categories, but I found that my search was so wide and unique that I felt putting them in categories would 'limit' their creative potentials! I want you to read the ideas and let YOUR imagination run wild with the possibilities and not be limited to use each activity exactly the way it is presented. Have FUN with the list below. See what memories your family can build when you plan your reunion using these activities from The Dating Divas!
1- Frisbee Golf with a Twist by The Dating Divas: Frisbee golf is such a fun sport to play. Make it super unique by creating your own 'course', split the family into teams, and at each 'hole' have a fun family fact, trivia question, mind game, etc. for each small group to complete before moving on to the next hole. Instead of keeping score, the fun becomes learning more about your family and building friendships.
2- Family History Date Night by The Dating Divas: A family reunion would not be complete without trying to gather more information about your ancestors! If you think about it, without your ancestors, your reunion wouldn't even be happening :)! Make sure to include this activity when planning your reunion.
3- Candid Photoshoot by The Dating Divas: Every family reunion has to have a family photo shoot. But this is no ordinary shoot – have each immediate family take their own pic using the timer on their cameras, then put together a slide show of all the pictures for everyone to enjoy.

4- Story Book Time by The Dating Divas: When you plan your reunion, you have to include this activity.

5- Donut on a String by My Joy Filled Life: Every reunion has to have a little friendly competition to make things interesting! Hang donuts on a string, tie the participants hands behind their backs, and see who can eat their donut the fastest.

7- Balloon Stomp by My Joy Filled Life: This game might get a little rough, so be prepared :). Blow up balloons, tie them to your ankle, then go around and try to pop everyone else's balloon. Whoever has the last unpopped balloon is the winner! Fun!

Get some plates, whipped cream, sour patch kids, and messy clothes and see who car untrap their sour patch kids from the cream! Having this game as part of your plans is to for sure to put a smile on everyone's faces!
9- Cheesy Head by My Joy Filled Life: This is meant to be more of an outside game…but, get some shower caps, whipped cream, and some cheetos (cheesy puffs, etc), split the family into 2-3 groups, then divide up to see who can toss the most amount of cheetos on the other person's cap. The group with the most points wins!
10- 4th of July Conversation Starter and Joke Cards by Happy Home Fairy: Every planned family reunion needs to include conversation building skills, or someone telling jokes!

11- Ring Toss by Roots and Wings Co: Create your own horseshoes using the materials you have inside the house and getting some rings. This will be a crowd pleaser, no matter the ages.

28- Talent Show by 71 toes: My kids' favorite thing to do when my family gets together is to participate in a talent show! They love showing off for their cousins and seeing what everyone else will come up with. This is a for sure when planning your family reunion!
29- Olympics by 71 toes: Everyone likes the Olympics, and might even wish they could compete in them! Well, now's their chance. Set up your own Olympics for your family reunion and see who wins. You could even pass out medals for each event! Your events could be: water balloon toss, relay race (on land or water), potato sack race, broom stick jump, basketball toss, wheelbarrow race, three legged race, limbo, home run contest, swimming relay, fastest swimming contest, etc. This will be a hit overall.

31- Slumber Party by 71 toes: I haven't had a slumber party since I was a kid. What better time to do another one, than on a family reunion. It's time to get the party started with your slumber party!
32- Paper Airplane Competition by 71 toes: Find this idea under her 'favorite aunt competition'. She brought a book of how to build paper airplanes and the kids were loving it. I thought, why not do a whole competition for the family and see who can get an airplane to fly the farthest?! Fun!
33- Science Experiments by 71 toes: Again, not an 'actual event' at her family reunion, but a fun one she did with the kids. Why not include fun science experiments with the whole family where you not only get to create your own volcanoes but a great learning experience for them too!
34- Group Meetings by 71 toes: This activity sounds BORING! BUT it doesn't have to be! Have a family meeting to discuss family matters or learn about your ancestors, but make them more fun by passing around treats or a small ball that you never know will be thrown at you or not.
35- Dance Party by 71 toes: Let's Dance! Get your groove thing on with a dance party for the whole family. No one should be left on the sidelines for this memory maker activity!
36- Group Flags and Badges by 71 toes: Start this by splitting the children up into age groups, have them pick a group name and decorate a flag, and challenge the group to do random acts of service. Then Grandma and Grandpa get to hang out with each group to give them some awesome one-on-one time. At the end of the reunion, the group caught in the most random acts of service will get a small prize!
37- Award Night by 71 toes: Assign a very creative person to come up with individual awards and present them on the last day to each individual.
38- Reunion CD by 71 toes: This family tradition sounds like a fun must have for anyone's family reunions! Before getting together at the reunion, each family member sends in a favorite song, then at the reunion, you try to guess who sent in each song. FUN!
39- Scavenger Hunt by 71 toes: This is a fun, and easy activity to plan for a reunion. Assign a super creative individual to come up with the scavenger hunt or have a random list of items and objects for the teams or individuals to find. Whoever finds all items first, wins!
40- Volleyball by 71 toes: You don't have to be good at volleyball to play with your family at a reunion! Relax, play and have fun while enjoying a little friendly competition!
41- Fear Factor by 71 toes: This game of Fear Factor only encompasses the realm of eating yucky things. See who is the best at choking down some nasty foods! Sounds like a party to me!
42- Create a Family Crest by Family Reunion Helper: My mom grew up knowing what her family crest was, thanks to her grandma. What a special time it would be to create a family crest for your family to enjoy and help build relationships.
43- Who's Who Photo Game by Family Reunion Helper: Have everyone send in a baby pic before getting to the reunion. Then have a competition to see who can guess who is in each picture! Fun and easy activity for your reunion!
44- Video Scavenger Hunt by Family Reunion Helper: Instead of doing just a regular scavenger hunt, each member of the family should be given a camera or video camera to PROVE they found the items. This leaves no room for cheating!
45- Make a Deal by Family Reunion Helper: Assign a family member to bring random small prizes and then throughout the reunion challenge other family members to 'make a deal' or not :).
46- Jugball by Family Reunion Helper: This is a fun game that was made up by a family about 20 years ago. You need lots of milk jugs a couple of balls, and then pre-determined goals. It sounds very similar to football. Make sure you check out the link for more in-depth instructions on how to play this fun game!
47- Ice Breaker Game by Family Reunion Helper: Unfortunately there are some family members who have never met each other or don't know each other very well. This game is perfect because it allows each individual to relax and get in the groove of having fun with each other!
48- Brain Games by Family Reunion Helper: Everyone loves games – so why not challenge your mind and other family members to play these brain games! You will have fun while learning new things!
49- Bingo by How Stuff Works: Bingo is a classic game that never grows old! Play a few games to really get the party started!
50- Hot Potato Camera Game by How Stuff Works: This is just like the game hot potato, but with an awesome twist! Get a camera that has a timer on it. Pass it around the group, with each person having to hold it up at arms length (as if they were going to take a pic of themselves). Whoever is holding the camera when it actually takes the pic is out of the game! Be careful not to drop the camera! You might want to sit on the ground to minimize damage!
Aren't all these 50 ideas just perfect to help you plan your next family reunion?! Remember, be creative! There are so many different variations you can use for each of these activities to help it fit for your family.

Ok so I am a FTM & have nothing for the baby....I found out my shower is Sunday & I peeked at my registry & there is not a lot of stuff that has been bought. So my question is do you think most people 1)will buy something from your registry that you really need....do they wait until the last minute maybe....2) or do you think a lot of people just think it is easier to buy you gift cards for where you are registed 3) get you a gift that has nothing to do with your registry? I hope I am not sounding like a total brat...I am just starting to worry that DH & I will have to come up with a lot of $$ to get all the stuff we really need for baby that we don't really have.
Baby Showers & Registries....do most people buy stuff off your registry??
I found that majority of people waited to buy stuff until the day before or day of the shower.
Also, I'd estimate that maybe 50% of the stuff we got was stuff we did not register for. People like to buy what they like I think. That's the only explanation I can come up with for that.
We didn't hardly get any gift cards; I think two in total.
Just save everything you don't want and take it back and exchange it for things from your registry. That's what we're doing. We've got about 200 dollars in stuff we're returning because we didn't register for it, or got double of something we registered for. We'll be putting that towards the stuff that is left on our registry --- stuff we need.
I know most of the peeps I know might buy off the registry but then don't update it. Then there are a lot that don't want to do that, they think it takes away from the "gift" aspect of it. So it is really hard to tell. Good thing with mine is a lot of people bought from target & walmart which allowed me to return the items I didn't need or want for a gift card and then I could get the things I needed. I would just sit back & relax because you will probably get a lot of great stuff and some things you might not have thought about

I feel the same way. Mine is the 12th and so far out of 2 registries only 4 things were bought. I'm afraid I'll get all this stuff I don't need (baby clothes and dresses, or other toys etc) from other places and I won't be able to take it back. I'm hoping people have waited until last minute or are giving gift cards cause as you mentioned its a lot of stuff and really expensive.
P.S. the above happened with my wedding shower so that's why I'm worried.

I found it depends on what you're having. With our girls, we got ALOT of clothes and not alot of our registry, whereas with our boy, we got almost everything off our Target registry and gift cards, so I think we'll be well prepared this time around.

DD Anabelle (4/20/03) and DD Stephanie (7/20/05)�#3- a baby boy! EDD (4/26/11)
In my experience, most people do not buy off the registry. They want to buy the cute clothes (which I totally get because that's all I really want to buy too!). So you may not get anything off your registry, but you will probably have a fully stocked closet!! And if you hate the stuff, just take it back...Target and BRU have pretty liberal return policies.
I got a few big ticket items off my registry, and a few smaller ones, but overall, most people just buy what they want to buy. Be prepared to get a whole lot of things that you'd wish they didn't purchase lol.
I had one aunt buy me probably ablout $40 worth of baby items from the dollar store. I seriously wish she got one or two nicer items for that amount instead of just looking like she bought a lot. Ah well, nothing you can do about it!
My first shower was this past Saturday, my next one is on Sunday coming up.
I noticed a TON of stuff got bought the day before/day of the shower. I was very blessed in the fact that I got a TON off my registry, a TON of clothes and lots not on my registry but useful things none the less. I also got at least 6 gift cards and a few checks. I was so afraid that we'd have to spend a ton of money buying things we needed but it looks like we won't have to do that at all. The gift cards/cash should cover everything.
As dumb as it sounds I was most excited to get socks & hangers. I have plenty of clothing but not a lot of socks (now I do).
We are quite blessed that we have so many people that love us enough to purchase almost everything that we need for this baby.
Desiree -JD 4/3/11
Proud POA Mama!!
First let me start by saying that I'm NOT complaining, because I got a ton of great stuff that I'm very thankful for!
Now for the real answer, as far as my shower not many bought from my registries. I had one at Target with 72 items and 18 were bought (8 that were given to me before the shower even came), and then I had one from Walmart with 15 items and 3 were bought.
People absolutely shop last minute though. Of the 18 things (8 that I already had, so really of the 10 things I got at my shower from my registry), the last 6 or so were purchased within a day or so of the shower (that's the last I had looked).
I agree that a lot of people buy what they like though and you will get a lot of clothes, because they're cute and fun to buy.
That said, we got a ton of essentials (diapers, wipes, health and hygene stuff, etc.), a few big items from the registry, about $275 in gift cards and a TON of clothes. I took back anything I got in double and any clothes that the size didn't match the season that LO would fit them and was able to complete all of the necessities from my registries. There were other "wants" that I'm going to do without, but all in all, we're all set.
Good luck! :)
I love this mommy stuff!
One more thing I'd like to add is that I think a lot of friends my age (especially ones with kiddos themselves) are the ones who stuck to the registry. So if you have a lot of girlfriends coming, I think you have a better chance of getting registry items.
I almost feel like the registry thing and having to pull it up yourself on a computer in the store is almost overwhelming for most of the older guests.
Just something I noticed...
I love this mommy stuff!
