I just keep making circles on the U.S. map but I'm staying put for awhile.

 I just don't get the Martha craze.  I've watched her show a couple of times and it's really rather boring. She talks in a monotone and her hair keeps falling into her face. What's with that?  I usually walk straight past her stuff at Michael's. It just doesn't appeal to me.

 3 yrs old is fine as long as you can leave if he gets scared.  Last year was the 1st year we actually got to GO see fireworks. My DD is 11 years old and has hated the noise all her life.  We tried earplugs and headphones a couple of times. They worked as long as we weren't close to the display.  My...

 Ronny, Great LO!  I LOVE it!

[quote="deerewife"] My dd has this issue.  Beware if the bites get really hard and hot, plus the fever exists - you may need antibiotics.  DD has had to be on them at least twice for bites. I swear that someone on here recommended Vicks Vapor Rub for bites - It really does seem to help. Je...

 Good for You!  My daughter is also the youngest in her class (Nov b-day). She started school in California where the cut-off is Dec 1st.  She's 8 and going into the 4th grade. She does okay academically, but you can definitely tell the difference when you compare her with her classmates.  Some are ...

 My DD is allergic to "skeeter" bites. We found out abruptly after moving to Houston several years ago and she woke up with her eye swollen shut. She was 2 then and she's 8 now. She still gets HUGE lumps (half dollar size) that are HOT to the touch. A few times she's had a low grade fever....

 My Dd has been bugging me to go to a Mexican restaurant. So, instead, we'll be making Enchiladas and Tacos at home. I'm on a diet and I can make them lower fat (and carbs). I'd eat WAY too much if we went out.

 I bought Fearless the day it came out! I LOVE JE books but I didn't think this one was as good as the others. It also seemed very short. It seemed like she just zipped this one out without much thought.  And it definitely didn't have enough Stephanie vs. Ranger segments.  :winkb:   Won't stop me fr...

 Oh how I WISH my DDs were a little like that.  Everything goes on the floor in this house. Nothing gets put away.  Cereal boxes and milk left on the table. Clothes on the floor right next to the hamper. Trash misses the trash can 99% of the time and stays where it lands.  Wet swim suits wadded up i...

[quote="SBcrazee"][quote="baggleflap"]Saw that you are in So Cal.  Where abouts?  We used to live in Rancho Cucamonga east of LA.[/quote] I'm further west near Burbank but I have a friend in Rancho C. that I visit sometimes.[/quote] Yep, drove that way often. My bro lives in Simi...

 Y'all type too fast!  I'm trying to answer and my DD comes in to ask a question. By the time I get back to my post, I find y'all have had a whole conversation without me! lol Yes, I live in South Carolina. We moved here from So. Cal. Before that it was Houston TX and before that it was NORTH Caroli...

[quote="pjw"] Welcome!  I'm from Anderson, SC ~~ are we close? [/quote] Not REAL close but about 2 hours maybe.   I'm just south of Charlotte, NC.  My bro lives in Greenville....well, Simpsonville actually.  Have you been to Scrapbook Creations in Spartanburg?  It's a nice store.  A little...

[quote="SBcrazee"] Hey there, welcome to ACOT. We have a Flapdoodle on here & now a baggleflap :-D[/quote] I saw the Flapdoodle. I wonder if it means anything.  Baggleflap is just a word we got my 2 year old niece to say when she was learning to talk. It drove my bro crazy! My niece is...

 That should be fun.  We were on vacation one time and we just happened to stumble across a filming of an old King Kong movie.  The extras were having to run screaming and of course at the time of the filming there was no King Kong there. It was fun to watch but I bet the extras got tired of all the...

 I mostly record shows so I can zip right thru the commercials.  But, I'd say the most irritating commercials are the ones for Cialis.  They are way too long and I have to change the channel if my kids come into the room!

 Whoa!  I just checked out your LOs and they are awesome!  Great job!

 Hey Y'all!  Introduced myself on "General Talk" but thought I should say Hello here. New to ACOT but not scrapbooking. Started scrappin about 10 years ago with my daughters' baby books. Now I'm working on several albums. My albums are chronological but I work on whatever I feel like worki...

[quote="stephfez"] we go to Nags Head in July every othre year for a family reunion.[/quote] We started going to the Myrtle Beach area when the kids came along. More to do there.  BUT, DH would like to go back to the Outer Banks because it's not so commercial. When the kids get a little ol...
