Fundraising for Relay for Life?
My team and I have to do some type of fundraiser on site at the Relay for Life event. So far on my own I have raised over $2500 but now I need to think of something to do as a team on the day of Relay. I need ideas that are easy. I know people tend to do something like gift baskets and they sell raffle tickets for them but that takes a lot of work. I am the team captain and a freshman in college. I go away to school so I am having to try to plan the team that is made up with family and friends back home while I am away. The team is in memory of my mom who passed away from breast cancer last May 2009. So if you have any ideas on a fun/creative fundraiser to do on site at the Relay for Life please let me know =)
--------------------
One good way to raise a few dollars - and help the environment... collect cans from peoples tents. At my local relay the team that does it just got their idea mentioned at a team captains meeting. Over the weekend all teams left their cans out the front of their tents :) Collect them on the trips round .

Pissed off at the cat-sitter... input?
I went out of town for about 3 weeks because my dad was killed in Afghanistan. Before leaving, a friend of mine asked if there were anything she could do. I asked her if she would be willing to stop by my apartment once a day to check on my two cats, feed them, make sure they have water, clean the litter box, etc., and of course I offered to financially compensate her for her time. She refused to take money, but agreed to let me pay for dinner a few times, and I sent her a couple of gift baskets from bath and body works while I was gone. I spoke to her via texting while I was gone, asking how things were going, checking to see if she needed anything, etc. She said everything was fine and that the cats were doing well. I come home, and immediately smell urine and feces. I look into the walk-in (tile) closet where the litter box is kept, and the ENTIRE floor is covered with excrement. The litter box wasn't particularly unkept. I'm only led to assume that at one point, she must have neglected the litter box so badly that the cats went outside of it...? Additionally, one of them apparently dropped a toy with a bell attachment into the fountain, which she never bothered to take out. There was rust in their drinking water. I'm not sure if that would have negative consequences. I'm extremely upset that I wasn't even alerted to the fact that I'd be coming home to what could probably be considered a health hazard. I have not said anything, and probably won't, but I am angry that I wasn't AT LEAST given a heads up about what I was coming home to. I am grateful for her generosity, but is that NORMAL to just ignore all of those things and tell me everything is fabulous?
--------------------
I'm very sorry to hear about your dad. You've got enough going on in your life to spend too much time fretting about this incident. I don't think I would say it is "normal" to tell you everything is fine when everything isn't fine. I wonder if your friend doesn't exactly have the same "standards" as you when it comes to pet care? That would definitely be a stretch, but not everyone understands what is "normal". The other thing might be that she knew she was doing a sub-par job, but was too embarrassed to tell you. I'm not making excuses for her, but just trying to think what might be driving her behavior. In any case, you've definitely learned that you can't leave your cats in her care in the future. I agree with not saying anything to her. After all, she was doing you a "favor". But, if she should bring up the subject, I think it would be appropriate to (nicely) point out that there were some thing that weren't up to your expectations. Or, you might just say something like "Gosh, the cats had never eliminated out of their box before. I can't believe how much poo was on the floor. They must have been really upset that I left them. I don't know how you were able to tolerate the smell.". That way, you give her the benefit of the doubt and give her the opportunity to provide an explanation, if there is one. I hope this helps, and again, sorry about your dad.

binged for 3days and gained 6lbs?
OMG i am freaking out.Im pretty slim,I have had an eating disorder.I was 7 stone and 9 lbs and a UK size 6-8. since sunday afternoon I have binged everyday and gone from 7stone 9lbs to 8 stone 2lbs. and i have gained 1 1/2 inches on my waist and hips. i feel so bloated and look pregnant im totally freaking out,i look huge but couldnt stop eating these last 3 days.I know what triggered it and i just went out of control eating everything We had an awful lot of chocolate gift baskets etc for christmas so Ive eaten a heck of a lot of chocolate crisps,bread etc Ive tried drinking lots of water because aparently it helps bt its making me feel even mmore bloated I dont even want to go out because even my face looks fuller! this cant seriously be real weight gain right? my anorexic thoughts are in overdrive right now and im seriously going off my head! someone please replky and if anyone who has had a similar situation could help i would be so grateful/ I was still very unhappy with my shape/body at 7stone 9lbs and it took me over a year to get back to that weight after getting down to a low 5 stone. to think ive gained all this weight and inches after 3days is making me feel awful
--------------------
Just take it easy and go back to eating a reasonable amount of food ... try to go for a 45 minute walk after dinner and try to get a couple extra hours of sleep to help your digestive system move all of that bulk through ... the bloatedness will go down once you have a normal amount of food in the "works" ... I get that way, too, but 2-3 days of eating better and getting extra exercise and more sleep tends to put me back right ... I would guess you could have gained maybe 1 lb of "real" weight ... the rest is extra water and extra food ... also, you should avoid dairy and egg for a bit, even in milk chocolate ... the casein in those can make a body bloat and retain excess fluids ... particularly around the waist ...

What age should girls know how to take care of their bodies?
I have 2 step daughters ages 7 and 9 (almost 10). Recently their father had to give them a hygiene talk because they went 5 days without a shower . They live with their mother full time and he gets them every other weekend and once during the week. He tries to tell his ex about the situation and she plays dumb. The girls are never showered when they come to stay and they can never remember the last time they took a shower. They are getting older now and their bodies are starting to change. I dont know what we can do to get them to realize that they need to shower atleast every other day if not every day.They dont even understand the importance of changeing their socks and underwear every day! This last time we had them they were wearing the same socks for 6 days and they were stinking up our house. We didn't realize that they were the same socks because they have identical socks at our house. We just figured they had stinky shoes and set them outside to get some air. What age do you think girls should know how to take care of their bodies and their own hygiene? I know that when i was 5 i would make my own bath and make sure i was clean and by the time i was their age i was showering every day without anyone telling me to ! I dont want them to be the stinky girls in their school. Dont you think they should know this stuff by now? Does anyone have any suggestions? I have already taken them to pick out soap and shampoo and smell good stuff and they use it when they come to our house. I have gotten them stuff to take home (little girly gift baskets). My husband and i have talked with them about how they need to take care of their bodies but it is like they cant grasp the importance of it all. Please help!

Make a list of the things your kids are expected to do everyday & hang it up. When they want to play video games, play with friends, watch TV, etc say "Is everything checked off your list?" After a while they will have the things they need to do memorized and will do them automatically. For example, I would have something like. Daily Goals 1. Clean room 2. Do Homework 3. Read for 15 minutes. 4. Take shower. Just tell them the things on the list must be done every day before any fun activities occur. Also remember that kids that age may have trouble turning on/adjusting the water to a comfortable temperature, my daughter is 8 and I still have to do that part for her.

Is this any good?
A slight reworking, but still at a dead end. Any help with this would be much appreciated, thanks. The Many Places... A bustling parking lot, a white washed house, and a strip of stores. A neighborhood that looped 'round back, and a private road, often traveled. Ivory covered houses behind petal storms, sitting like faces behind veils against a backdrop of woods. A little girl, a red tricycle, and a blue dress, threadbare, yet loved. A little boy, and his group of friends, 10 speed bikes and mean faces- a challenge and a chase, a lost little girl, and a highway that would lead her to other places, to other homes and other townships and cities. To schools, boarding schools and finally other states. To downtown excursions, late night rituals, and first drunken tirades. Tales of sabotage at the hands of friends, and plotted escapes. To the trailer in a trailer park, the first home and a small spending spree. A fake diamond ring and plans for a wedding. To a broken union and baby's first kick, the birth, and a proud mother, a bewildered mother, behind a smile, booties and bonnets, and last minute plans. A trip back home, and another shot at family life, a second first home in a basement. Hung pictures, simmering stew, and seasoned sachets. A white wooden crib and a screaming tot, a screaming pot, screaming parents, and slamming doors. Slamming doors against mothers who leave their kids like gift baskets upon your lap, a diaper bag and its contents spilling across the floor; cased secrets spinning upon a shelf, and a shaking room against screaming, screaming , and accusations. And then tickets upon a night stand, a quickly scrawled letter, and a ragged suitcase, threadbare, yet loved. and a plan, a half hearted plan to get away. But not until years later, when ripples settle, and waters have since stilled, with a child half grown and plans of her own, on a random event. A requested stop along the way, a brief pause beneath a sycamore tree and an out of place bird upon a limb. A welcoming chirping chatter, like an old friend. A small parking lot, a small gray house, and a tiny little plaza. The same size it has always been.

How to go about doing this? Please answer!?
My mom and her mom are doing a lot of crafts and gift baskets and such and they want to sell them, but they are not sure how to go about doing this. Do you have any suggestions? They don't like want to go into an industry (lol). They'd like to know how to get started... so any suggestions for that? I know about the farmers market, but it's to late for us to sign up for that, and were not aware of many craft shows near us... So is there anything they can do? Do you know of any ways of finding craft shows? Thanks for your help!
--------------------
On your local newspaper website, you should be able to do a search for craft fairs and crafters wanted. Make sure you go back to last year and see what fairs were held last year. You can call the organizers and ask if they will be holding it again this year. .

What do you think of this business idea?
I want to have a local "of the month" club. I was thinking of a couple of ideas; A kids craft club, where every month they get sent a different package with a theme, say Mexico...A Mexican type craft to do, extra craft pieces, flash cards to learn about different things, book suggestions from the library, and a few other things. With this I thought parents, grandparents would like it, to get the kids off the video games. A baking club, With different treat sent to your house every month An Adult craft kit club. And a couple more... I would keep it local. That way the cost would be cheaper. I would also sell different themed gift baskets, or too order baking goods, say someone wanted homemade cookies at Christmas time, but the didn't have time. They wouldn't have to be in my club, they could just order the cookies. I would advertise in the local paper, maybe bring stuff to the farmers market. Have cards at different shops around town, and put it on craigslist and kijiji. What do you think?
--------------------
I would sign up for the kids craft club! That's a really good idea!

How about me and you put that whipped cream to good use? ;) 10 pts.?
Haha first off sorry about the creepy title, i promise it does pertain to the question. i just wanted an interesting title so people would actually be willing to read this. My question for you guys is what should i buy my best friend and my girlfriend for christmas. They are both girls and my girl friend is 15 and my best friend 16. I really need some ideas. Don't give me lame ideas i've already heard "get her a basket of coffee" and "buy her refrigirator magnets." rofl what kind of teenager wants coffee or magnets as a gift? (rhetorical question) Ok so here are my ideas: For my girlfriend: Nice looking jewelry from kohl's, but is still cheap! Maybe some chocolate as well. For my best friend: Perfume and a can of whipped cream with a note on it that says "how about we put this to good use tonight?" haha im not planning on cheating on my girlfriend but me and my best friend have a funny sense of humor. I'm sure she would laugh like hell at it. 10 points to whoever can suggest anything better than those two ideas. The whipped cream idea is pretty funny, but im sure you guys can come up with some other sexual joke involving a gift that would be even funnier! Thanks in advance!

How should I reward people that have helped me during a recent incapacity?
Since I have never been in this situation before, I wanted some advice on how to repay people that are helping in my recovery from a broken bone. I have two aunts that between then have taken me to doctor's appointments, picked up my mail and did some some shopping for me. A person I work with has agreed to water my plants at work while I'm out. It seems crass to offer them money, which they probably wouldn't take anyway. I thought about sending flowers, but I don't know if they are allergic and cut flowers seems like a waste of money to me. And with everyone watching their weight (I think at least one of my aunts is diabetic), candy is not an option. Would a gift certificate to a local supermarket be okay? That way they can get what they want and need. Now the question is as to the amount I should recompense. Any further suggestions? Also people at work sent me a basket of living plants and a fruit basket. Do they have to be acknowledged? How so?
--------------------
How about taking your recovery helpers out to lunch, or have them over for dinner and explain to them that you greatly appreicated their help during your recovery. Nothing says thank you better than a free meal. You have some wonderful family/friends/co-workers. As for the people at work how about bringing a couple of desserts along with a thank you note. I'm glad to hear that you are back on your feet!

Is this a Good idea? PLZ I NEED FEEDBACK!?
We dated for a whole year broke up about 7 months ago..I was his first love and he's also mine..And i still love him.. Well anyways my dad has been sick for about a month now..in and out the hospital etc. and it's really been tough..but, he's been there for me. & I really appreciate it, and all the other things he's done for me. We've been talking ever since and It's starting to bring old feeling but i'm kinda skeptic whether i wanna be in a relationship with him again,because he's gonna be leaving for college soon & will be in another state..and I don't wanna set myself up for something i'm gonna end up mad at myself for & getting my heart broken. But, I do wanna give him a graduation gift that include things that'll remind him of us...like a few pictures and all the notes i have that he's wrote me in 10th grade and the ones i wrote him but never gave to him..and also one of those recorders so I can explain to him why i did this,the meaning of each thing in the basket, and a message to him!..but what else should I put in the basket...how should i arrange it..i need help with this.. Over all is it an good idea?
--------------------
Sure its a good idea. Being sweet is always well, SWEET . You guys are also friends so hey, why not. Put a few other things in the basket that he will be able to use while away. Maybe some cologne and things like that. You sound like you still love this guy, so why not give it another try. Let him know exactly how you feel and what you are looking for out of this long distance relationship. Dont just jump right into it. Long distance relationships are really hard to keep going girlie:) but if its meant to be, it will be. Ya feel me! Good luck.

Quick physics question?
For a birthday gift, you and some friends take a hot-air balloon ride. One friend is late, so the balloon floats a couple of feet off the ground as you wait. Before this person arrives, the combined weight of the basket and people is 1280 kg, and the balloon is neutrally buoyant. When the late arrival climbs up into the basket, the balloon begins to accelerate downward at 0.50 m/s^2. What was the mass of the last person to climb aboard? how do I get the mass?
--------------------
1280 x .5 = 640N. 640/9.8 = 65.3kg.

Garden Party Baby Shower favor ideas?
Hi ladies! As most know I am preggy with my second son. Although some find it tacky to have a second baby shower, I am going to. Not for gifts...NOOOO. I have everything I need for him ready ;') I feel every child is special and deserves his/her own welcoming celebration surrounded by loved ones. My first son's baby shower was HUGE. 78 people, guys, gals... tons of food. I am not traditional. My first baby shower was in the fall at an Italian Resteraunt. Each table had a fall foliage basket and candle. Plus we had extras sitting around. As the games were played, we made sure everyone left with a gift. Since it is spring, we are having a garden party. I need some ideas on favors. I thought about a spring arrangement with Bath & Body Works lotion or something tied to the bow... But I am unsure. I like to give things people love and won't just toss in the garbage or corner. And ideas? Thanks ya all!!

Seed packets or gardening tools. You could send guests home with a potted plant with Riley's name and the due date on the pots. Maybe you could send the kids, if you have any coming, home with little toy gardening tools.

Is my niece spoiled or just being a normal kid?
I am single and do not have any children of my own. I have a six year old nephew and a 7 year old niece who I love dearly. Since they were born, I usually was pretty good to them during the Christmas season by buying more gifts than I should. My nephew seems very appreciative, but it seems like my niece is becoming spoiled. My sister was telling my niece that this is going to be a hard year for Santa due to the economy. My niece told her that she did not care because I always buy her lots of gifts anyway. Most of the adults in my family thought it was funny and cute, but I found that comment very hurtful. Am I over-reacting? Shouldn't they teach her that she is not being grateful? In addition, I think my niece has made inappropriate comments on other holidays also. For example, during her birthday, she told her mom that it looks like she did not get that much. She got several larger more costly items items like a dvd and tv. During Easter, she told me, you just bought me two toys? I didn't give baskets because they get so many from other people and they have enought candy. Also, I really don't go all out for other occasions like I do on Christmas. It is hard financially to do that all year long. And, I don't know, I just choose to buy more at Christmas than other holidays. That should be my choice. I just was wondering if I could get some comments and feedback from actual parents to see if I am letting those comments bother me too much and if they would let their kids say things like that. I'm beginning to think I should just give her one toy and that is it. As she gets older, she is going to thing she can get anything she wants.
--------------------
My daughters are 10 and 11 years old. . My brothers are both single and have no children, so they, like you, love to buy gifts for my girls at Christmas and other holidays. As a parent I look at it 2 ways, #1 Sometimes I feel like my kids get too much, and ARE spoiled. My girls always look forward to my brothers coming here for Christmas, they love their uncles very much and I'm sure they would even without the gifts. The gifts isn't what they remember at Christmas as much as the good times we have when the family gets together. Every year people ask them, "So what did you get for Christmas" and would you believe they have to think about it?? It's shamefull!! they simply get too much. #2 We have a 1800square foot house which is a good size compared to others where we live, but the kids clutter takes up too much room. they have too much stuff,and can't appreciate what they DO have. they get tired of things too quickly. Every year before Christmas we get a HUGE box from an appliance store and try to fill it with things that are in good shape that we no longer need/ want and donate it to the Salvation Army. they always feel good about this, and find they don't miss anything either. Because they always get so much at Christmas! Here's an idea, My parents did this one year when we were kids and I always remember it. We all had LOTS of gifts under the tree one year, (which was unusual for us as we didn't have a lot of money when we were growing up) the gifts had our name on it and were numbered. We had to open them in order. Which was fun all by itself (afterall, everybody likes to open gifts) each box was empty except for a note. A memory from the past or a "we love you because...." then the last present was our actual Christmas gift, Maybe you would like to try something like that? I would say buy her 1 gift at Christmas, and spend time with her. that's what she will remember most.

When the late arrival climbs up into the basket, the balloon begins to accelerate downward at 0.50 m/s^2. What was the mass of the last person to climb aboard?
--------------------
Did it. 1280 x .5 = 640N. 640N/9.8 = 65.3kg.

MOMS of Yahoo! - What should I get my mother for her birthday?
She'll be 48 and I'm 18 and she said not to get her anything (her usual response to "what would you like for your birthday") so I'm stumped. I'm spending about $50 on her. She doesn't listen to any music in particular or have a favorite author. She doesn't want CDs or DVDs. She can't use scented, pretty soaps or shower gels so a basket of bath goodies is out. She's impossible to pick clothes for. She's not a lover of spas and I'm not getting her a gift certificate or anything as I want to get her an actual gift I can wrap. She really doesn't need anything SO ... what should I buy her?
--------------------
Hey, that's me!(the mom). I don't want my kids spending their hard-earned cash on me, and I have everything I want. I do like though, getting a really nice card. Since you are real keen to spend more how about donating the rest in her name to a good cause, like an animal shelter or whatever and get a receipt and put it in with the card? You could put it all in a box and wrap the box.

What should I get for my kids for Easter/Ostara?
This will be my kids first Easter/Ostara knowing the bunny is me. I need ideas for a couple of gifts for them. I have a 10yr old son and a 8 yr old daughter. I usually go with a theme. Like, one year I got them some candy and build-a-bear stuff and put it into a build-a-bear tent instead of a basket. They aren't crazy about finding the plastic eggs, since they know I hid them. So I thought I would hide a gift for them like a treasure hunt and give them clues to find them. I just can't think of what the heck to get for them! Any theme ideas?
--------------------
Maybe get them each a book that they want. I have done this with my boys, and it helps motivate those that are not big readers to read a bit more. Esp with a cool bookmark for the book as well. One year I even got carried away and got them all Harry Potter stuff, so some got coloring books, some the real books, and then each got a towler, or shirt, or boxers, or such, and they all loved it. I often do the same at Xmas is to get them each a related gift. Hope this helps. And Enjoy....

Okay, we're probably going to change the date to a Sunday, is this a good budget?
$12,500 is the total, honeymoon included. This is my plan: PLATINUM PACKAGE 80 guests $6,247.74 (tax and service included) Ballroom (5.5 hr event time + 2.5hr setup) (I have no idea why they give so much time) Access to Cocktail Area / Game Room Access to Patio & Gazebo Area / Ceremony Site Access to Bridal Suite 1 Security Officer (I am keeping him/her for personal reasons) Banquet Chairs and Round Banquet Tables Chair Cover with Sash (color of choice) Table Cover with Overlay (color of choice) Skirted Head, Cake, Gift, and Registration Table Centerpiece – Glass Candle Holder on Mirror (she is upgrading it for free!) Ceiling Drapery Décor China, Glassware, and Flatware Linen Napkins (standard selection) Professional Bussing Staff Full Service Setup and Cleanup Dinner Buffet with Menu Option A Entrée (choice of 1) Starch Side Dish (choice of 1) Vegetable Side Dish (choice of 1) Salad (choice of 1) Rolls and Croissants / Tortillas Water with Ice Tea or Fruit Punch They are also setting up the outside area for guests who smoke, and giving me a deal of $150 for a fruit tree or platter and a small chocolate fountain. The venue also comes with a pool table and tvs for entertainment while we're taking pictures since it is all indoors. Now, am I missing anything from below? We're not using a limo, please don't suggest one lol $680 dress, veil, tiara, petticoat, and undergarments $350 flowers (just six attendants total for us and then our moms, his dad, and my grandparents) $100 invitations, place cards, tags (I'm getting printing for free) $50 candy bag favors (tulle bags with M&Ms in our colors, no print) $450 wine (3-4 bottles per table, it's not a sit down dinner) $300 cakes (friend is doing them for $1/slice, cutting is $1/person) $40 'wishing' tree (manzanita branches and tags for wishes) $200 bride/groom pampering (nails, hair, makeup and his haircut and whatnot) $30 shoes (I'm a good shoe shopper) $950 photography (this includes 5-6 hrs, and a CD, and I think bridals and engagements as well) $275 minister (eh, I'm trying to get a friend to do this) $315 wedding party gifts (once again, small WP) $30 bridal jewelry (found a great set at DBs) $60 groom's accessories (shoes, and whatnot) $30 postage $70 knife/cake serving set, flutes, guestbook (buying online) $50 flower girl basket and ring bearer pillow $2,500 honeymoon (not sure about this yet) We may actually have more room to save now that we're waiting a couple more weeks than planned. So does this look okay for a budget? Am I missing anything? = $12,727.74 $249.74 over budget!

There are several areas you could cut back on expenses. 1) The wedding party gifts. You should be able to cut that in half if you get creative. 2) Wine. Like the other poster said, just serve enough for toasts. Can the rest be byob? 3) Cake knife set. Surely you can find some cheaper. Check out Target, Hobby Lobby or another party store. 4) Flower girl/ring bearer. Surely you can find some cheaper. Check out Target, Hobby Lobby or another party store. 5)Honeymoon. (We took a 7 day cruise and spent $1500, maybe $2000 after paying the on-board alcohol bill.) 6) Wishing tree. Is this really necessary? Just leave cuts of paper on the dinner table. Are you having any music? DJ? Band? iPod? This is just my humble opinion. Do what you want. I'm just suggesting areas where I can see you can save money.

You should read Faster Than A Kiss. It's a great manga. Here's a summary... After losing their parents, Fumiko and her brother move from one relative to another. Fed up with the constant moving, Fumiko decides to quit school and find a job to support her brother herself. While she sits on the park bench contemplating her situation, she suddenly finds her teacher standing in front of her. Surprisingly, their encounter ends with a marriage proposal and her teacher's promise to support and take care of Fumiko and her brother. Is he serious or just playing around...!?

Sister's first baby, what to buy her?!?
Hey there girlies :o) Basically, my sister is 32 years old & having her first baby (it's a girl). We're having a baby shower for her in November and the baby is due in January. I already have a good idea of what I'm going to buy her. She hasn't made any registries or anything yet, but I'm going to buy a big pink basket and fill it with a lot of newborn and clothes up to a year old. My sister isn't very girly and doesn't like shopping, so I figured I would buy as many clothes as my budget allows. I also plan to buy her something off of her registry whenever that will be made. Anyways, do you have any ideas of what I should put in the basket other then clothes? What are some things you did for an expecting mother or as a mother already what were things you would NEVER buy but would love to have as a gift? thanks so much! I appreciate it.
--------------------
Honestly, your idea sounds very sweet and you sound like a wonderful sister to have .... but.... If you have enough money to buy a couple of outfits and other things I would probably use that money to buy one bigger thing that she will get plenty of use out of (e.g. swing, play mat, bouncer etc) and one gorgeous outfit you love. I just had my baby and many, many people give you cute outfits as most people's budget stretches to an outfit as a gift, but not something bigger. I have had trouble getting good wear out of all the clothes as they grow so fast. If you went ahead with your idea, it would be VERY appreciated I am sure, but as an Aunty I would consider buying one bigger thing that she will use quite a bit. A good friend of mine bought me a rocker for my baby and I was so impressed. It sits in my lounge and she sees it anytime she visits and I feel good that she sees it in use. Whatever you do, it will be appreciated!! PS. If you are going with a basket a few things I was given was - a dummy (I wasn't going to use it like most mums but we all seem to cave!) - a dummy clip - a rubber ducky(or similar) that you put in water to test the temperature of the bath. - a wrist rattle or one with a tiny skinny handle to grip. - comfy & washable fabric change mats/pads to go over the cold plastic mats (baby has so many accidents and I only bought one!) - any thin large flannel or muslin wraps that you can swaddle with. - Burp rags (I have a puker!) You sound like you are going to be an awesome Aunty!

What unique gifts have you thought of this year?
With the economic times being the way they are this year, obviously some people are putting a lot more thought into their gifts this year, and i'm just curious to see what other people have come up with:) Like us, for example, my niece and nephew are very into the Disney's GummiBears ever since our in-laws gave each family a set of the GummiBears on DVD. And as anyone who remembers them knows, they drink "gummiberry juice" to get their bounce. Well they like to pretend they're drinking it too and bounce around the house. We were at Wal-Mart a couple weeks ago and saw these holiday coke bottles in the shape of ornaments and when you peel the wrapper off, they look just like the bottles the GummiBears used to hold their gummiberry juice in. We bought some and when we finished drinking them, we washed them out, peeled off the labels, filled them with "gummiberry juice" and piled half a dozen into a basket with a few GummiBears plush toys that I have had since childhood. I can't wait to see their faces...I know they'll love it!

My boyfriend enjoys hunting. He killed a nice 8 point deer a couple weeks ago. He was going to just cut the horns off but I talked him into getting the whole skull mounted. I have a father figure that is a taxidermist (mounts animals) and I talked to him about this. He helped me come up with a plan... We told my boyfriend that the horns broke when I pulled them out of the freezer because they were stuck. I told my boyfriend I threw them in the household trash compactor at the local recycle center. (Im not the type to lie but I feel this isnt technically a lie since he will figure it out on Christmas Day). My father figure let me use his shop to skin the deer myself and skull mount it. I am going to put it in a small box then pack it into another bigger box with bags of dirt or something (for weight) and include a certificate to mount the deer for free later on. So for Christmas my boyfriend is getting his 8 point deer skull mounted with a coupon for a free full mount. :D

Age old dillemma, what to get someone who has everything?
my step-father-in-law is rich, he is generous beyond believe, he feeds the homeless 5 nights a week, he loves his wife and her kids (and their wife's and children), he owns his businesses (he doesn't wear a suit or tie), he is a christian and is very devoted, he likes to cook (but has storage's full of cookware and recipe books), he doesn't wear cologne, he gives away watches that other people buy him... there are a lot of other factors... i'll edit once i remember.. He is always so nice with us, we love that my "ma" has found real love after being in a love-less relationship for so long, he takes good care of her and loves her so much. We just want to get him something for Xmas that shows him how much we love him too. We've already agreed on a beautiful christina card with some good chosen words from us but what kind of gift would be nice for him? i was thinking of some sort of Gourmet basket...
--------------------
Basket is a good idea but here's my take on it. Start with a bottle of non-alcoholic sparkling water and 2 wine glasses. Include a gift certificate for a dinner and movie date or a couple's message at the local spa. If money isn't an issue, a special motel would be in order. We have a nearby B&B that dresses up individual rooms like different countries. But if the sparkling water and glass basket is all you can afford, it still gets the point across that you appreciate the man he is and what he's done for your mother-in-law and indulges him in what he probably wouldn't spend money on for himself.

how 2 annoypeople at the store .........very long?
how 2 annoypeople at the store "Accidentally" get stuck in one of the frozen food doors. Give people strange looks and see if anyone helps you out. Add really funny things to other peoples' carts and watch them pay for it and see if they notice. Around Christmas time, start caroling. Ask for money from the listeners. As the cashier runs your purchases over the scanner, look mesmerized and say, "Wow. Magic!" Ask if you can buy a shopping cart. Ask other customers if they have any Grey Poupon. Ask Someone if they know were they sell little babies! Attempt to fit into very large gym bags. Bring a friend and get in a shopping cart. Have them push you around while you yell "ye-haw!" Buy chrome hubcaps and put them on in the parking lot Challenge other customers to duels with tubes of gift wrap. Constantly wink at a person you don't know. Follow them around and blow kisses to them. Dart around suspiciously while humming the theme from "Mission: Impossible." Do all of these above without getting thrown out! Contributed Drag a lounge chair on display over to the magazines and relax. If the store has a food court, buy a soft drink; explain that you don't get out much, and ask if they can put a little umbrella in it. Drape a blanket around your shoulders and run around saying, "...I'm Batman. Come, Robin--to the Batcave!" Dress as a Jedi and randomly tell other shoppers in you're best Yoda voice,"May the force be with you". Everytime you walk out the door (or try waiting by the door for others to walk out), make a dinging noise then say mechanically "We're sorry. You have activated the Wal Mart inventory control service. Please step back and a Wal Mart associate will help you. Thank you." Fill your shopping cart with matchbooks and gasoline and walk around smiling at people. Find a parent with her kid in the shopping cart. Point at the kid and ask the parent, "What aisle are they selling these on?" Follow people through the aisles, always staying about five feet away. Continue to do this until they leave the department. Gather a bunch of bouncy balls and bounce them into neighboring aisles. Get 20 people together and play hide-n-go-seek. Get a dish towel and bucket and sit on the floor singing "It's a hard knock life for us!" Get a friend, put on as many articles of clothing you can find and start sumo wrestling (use diapers if possible) . Get a group of friends together and take lawn chairs from the display then rewind the movie playing on the display TV in electronics, sit down and watch the entire thing. Get one of those fake dogs that barks/sings, place it on the ground in front of a group of people and press the button to make it sing/bark. Then proceed to bark and growl like you are going to attack it Go into the dressing room and yell real loud... "Hey, we're out of toilet paper in here!"

Go up to the clerk and say code Red! and see what they do! (I know it will work I did it.) Grab handfulls of super bounce balls and go wild. have a couple of friends go with you and dress up as power rangers. Battle the invisible enemy and tell shoppers to stand back. Hide in the clothing racks and when people browse through, say things like "Pick me! Pick me!!" hide in the toy section, when someone comes close jump out at them throw a ball and yell "Pikachu I choose you!" Hold indoor shopping cart races. In the auto department, practice your "Madonna" look with various funnels. Joust with the electronic assist carts and wrapping paper (they usually won't throw you out) Leave Cheerios in Lawn and Garden, pillows in the pet food aisle, etc. Leave cryptic messages on the typewriters. Look right into the security camera, and use it as a mirror while you pick your nose. Make a trail of orange juice on the floor, leading to the rest rooms. Make farting noises as you walk by someone. Make the entire auto department smell by sampling all the spray air fresheners. Make up nonsense products and ask newly hired employees if there are any in stock, i.e., "Do you have any Shnerples here?" Move "Caution: Wet Floor" signs to carpeted areas. Nonchalantly "test" the brushes and combs in Cosmetics. Page yourself and then after the employee says your name, say..."Oh that's me, I've got to go. Thank you." Pay off layaways fifty cents at a time. Play "Marco Polo." Play blind chicken with 12 friends putting a blind fold on one and them having that person trying to find you . Play soccer with a group of friends, using the entire store as your playing field. Play with the automatic doors. Play with the calculators so that they all spell "hello" upside down. Pour bubble bath into the fountains in the garden section. Put M&M's on layaway. Put random items in the shopping carts of others while they aren't looking. Randomly throw things over into neighboring aisles. "Re-alphabetize" the CD's in Electronics. Re-dress the mannequins as you see fit. Relax in the patio furniture until you get kicked out. Repeat whatever the store clerk tells you. Ride a display bicycle through the store; claim you're taking it for a "test drive." Ride those little electronic cars at the front of the store. roll cans of soup down the aisles. run around the store yelling I'm a princess while holding a toy wand. Run around yelling for your pet ferret "Stinky". check out all the funny looks you get! Run up to a complete stranger and say "You're it!" Run up to a new employee in the pet aisle and point to an invisible cash register and say "Hey you! That cash register over there, well um, I think it's magic! It made my little sister (or brother if you have one) disappear!" Wait and see what they say and the expression on their face. Sample all the fragrances in the perfume department. Say things like, "Would you be so kind as to direct me to your Twinkies?" Set all the alarm clocks to go off at ten minute intervals throughout the day. Set up a "Valet Parking" sign in front of the store. Set up a battle of laser tag . Set up a tent in the camping department; tell others you'll only invite them in if they bring pillows from Bed and Bath. set up like ten pineapples in the shape of bowling pins and start bowling with a coconut. Shoot the bungee tops at customers. Start Humming the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Theme song. Whenever someone looks at an item near you scream "TUTLE POWER" and run away as fast as you can. Strategically scatter those novelty dog poops throughout the store and wait for some to announce "cleanup on aisle ..." then yell "BAD FLUFFY!" Switch the men's and women's signs on the doors of the restroom. Take a snickers bar, go in the bathroom and smoosh the snickers bar in your hand and reach over to the next stall and say "uh do you have some toilet paper over there?" Take all of the free AOL cd's on the end of the check out counter Contributed by Keith Take bets on the battle described above. Take shopping carts for the express purpose of filling them and stranding them at strategic locations. Take up an entire aisle in Toys by setting up a full scale battlefield with G.I. Joes vs. the X-Men. Test the fishing rods and see what you can "catch" from the other aisles. Throw as many shoes as possible onto the floor in as little time as you can. TP as much of the store as possible. Try to fly on a broom. If anyone asks what you are doing tell them in a very annoyed voice, "the brooms don't work!" Tune all the radios to a polka station; then turn them all off and turn the volumes to "10". Unload then entire bin of giant bouncy balls, get in the bin, have a friend put all the balls back on top of you. When someone walks by jump outta the balls causing them to fly everywhere. Walk about 10 centimeters in front of a moving shopping cart and yell "Its gonna get me!" walk around in rubber boots , a rain coat, and an umbrella on bright sunny day! Walk through the store pushing a cart that is upside-down. Walk up and down yelling mommy , mommy then keep saying out loud have you seen my mommy I'm lost and I cant find her. Walk up to a person and say I'm the FBI and I heard that you have been shopelifting and we need to check you. Walk up to an employee and ask where the laxatives are, changing your voice as if you really need it. Walk up to an employee and tell him in an official tone, "I think we've got a Code 3 in Housewares," and see what happens. Walk up to complete strangers and say, "Hi! I haven't seen you in so long!..." etc. See if they play along to avoid embarrassment. Walk up to the automatic doors and walk back and forth through them and each time u go though look up at the sensor and yell "how does it work or ITS MAGIC!" When a woman with children walks near you in the toy aisle, throw yourself on the floor, screaming "mommy, I want that toy" When an announcement comes over the loudspeaker, assume the fetal position and scream, "No, no! It's those voices again!" When someone asks if you need help, begin to cry and ask, "Why won't you people just leave me alone?" when someone steps away from their cart to look at something quickly make off with it without saying a word. When someone steps away from their cart to look at something, quickly make off with it without saying a word. when the speaker/pager deal comes on start mimicking them.
