Uh oh Osi,
My son is over 30 lbs I hadnt really tried hard to look for plastic pants, I heard Walmart had them but I didnt think about sizes.
If I cant find there I suppose I would try Babies R Us if you have that near you. Let me know now I am going to get worried.

Leighann-

Will try to remember to ask my sister if she's had any luck finding them.

Jayne - wow, that's such a funny story! It sure would be awful to be the poor checker who took the money! Someone sure had a lot of nerve to pass of a phony $200 bill! When I pulled up the newspaper sight, it had Tuesdays news, but not this story. I tried doing a search on the site, but couldn't find it.

I'm not sure of frugalness today, but last night I went to the store to get a few things that were on sale, and they were out of the canned veggies, and weren't giving rain checks, cause it was while supplies last. Dog gone! I did pick up a case of really good tuna and 25 lbs of sugar. Can't remember the prices, but they were good. I also found the big packages of polish dogs, not sure how many in the package, but their usually at least $5.99 a pkg, and they were $2.99 so I bought 4 pkgs. I shouldn't of waited to go back.

I'm excited!

I just got home from Cato's (LOVE that store!) where I bought a 3 piece outfit--dress, pants and long jacket--for $17.99! It was actually supposed to be a 2 piece but they put the pants with it. I also picked up some stocking stuffers for my dgds for $1.99 each and some cute necklaces for $1.99. Im the QUEEN of cheap jewelry.

I do require that it be tasteful and not cheap LOOKING at least.

They are moving over to a new shopping center in a couple of weeks so hitting them again the week before. All of their clearance stuff will be marked down again since they're sending it to other Cato stores rather than move it.
Middle dd was with me and bought a bunch of stuff--all on clearance--for just a little bit. I LOVE saving money!

Carol--I was tickled to find that this little town not only has a Catos (I've shopped them for years all over the South) but an It's Fashion as well--which is owned by Catos. The outfit (for 2 pcs.) that I picked up today was marked down from $40 to the $17.99 that I paid. The people who work in there are wonderful as well. I ALSO bought me a small tub of peaches and cream body butter for $2.99--full price. I already had some coconut scented that I bought there and it works great. I put some on after showers and before bed and my skin is drinking it up. This peaches and cream smells good enough to eat. Yummy.

Good going nagymom-

Don't ya just love clearance!!! That's always the first place I zero in on. Really need to go to Kohls, they are doing 75-80% off summer stuff now although I haven't seen much in their ads this summer that I wanted, it's all so 70's style.

Jayne - that sounds like some nice lotion. Have you ever tried Healing Garden lotions? They have it at Sears, and lots of other stores. I keep finding it at my grocery store on sale. They have a Jasmine scented one that is wonderful!

Just wanted to let you all know what the latest is.

The doctor confirmed that the cyst is 13.5 cm and that it is septated (sectioned/divided). There is also "fluid in the cul-de-sac)" - I have no idea what that means as the only cul-de-sac I know of is the one at the end of the street. They think that the cyst is on the right ovary because they can not find it. The last sentance in the radiologist's report reads: "I can not rule out a malignant type of an ovarian cyst particularly in the presence of fluid in the cul-de-sac."

I want to thank you again for all the support.

((((Vicki)))) Has the doctor set a date to do surgery?

Keep us informed. BTW NOT to scare you but to reassure you, I have a friend who had ovarian cancer. Hers was so far that her stomach was distended and she is doing MARVELOUSLY. She has a great faith and never faltered and she recently received a clean bill of health from her doctor.
