marble effect."
Minny - Home & Garden Tip Award

size clothing, mark their first initials on hidden places

down on the arguments!"

"When packing to move, use dish towels and bath towels
to wrap glassware. Also use them for cushioning loose
items so they don’t roll around."
JennyinSeattle - Just for You Award

for sinus and allergy problems."

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN ROBBED?
It seems like we can't go 1/2 a day around here without
hearing of a robbery from either a store, a home invasion
or somebody being robbed. It's so scary. Have you ever
been robbed? How did you deal with it? Do you take
measures to try to protect yourself -- home & car alarms,
carry mace or pepper spray, take self defense classes...etc?

ARTICLE PICK OF THE WEEK
------------------------------
HELPING CHILDREN OF DIVORCE THROUGH
THE HOLIDAY SEASON
What day does Thanksgiving fall on anyway? What
about Christmas and New Years? What year is this
and who's got the kids for the holidays? You realize
you are going to have to go dig out those divorce
papers and see what year it is and if it's odd or even
and if you get to see your children or if you'll be
heading to Grandma's without your kids in tow....
