My husband uses one and seems to like it. However, originally it was bought for me (back and neck pains) but it just did not work out. I felt as if the insides kept on disappearing and were never where I wanted them.

Any similar weekly planners out there? I have been looking for something to inspire me every time I open it... with no luck so far.

Honestly... I would hate to be the recipient of this. One more piece of junk to have take somewhere... and possibly even to feel guilty for throwing out... It would be another matter if the dish held the gift (like a cake) but this is just not a good idea...

I am hoping to get one of these sooner or later. However, I would want to find out which reader would allow me to actually get the books I would want to read.

So... which of these allows one access to the largest amount of books? I just checked the link suggested by the previous poster but the Coolreader would be useless to me beause I could not find any of the books I searched for. Amazon, on the other hand, had them for Kindle.

Does anyone know of a Bento made of something other than plastic? I love the idea but refuse to buy plastic.

"i feel like the no poo routine would work better on thick hair, i have thin, fine hair"

I agree with this.

I did this for some months. My problem was and is that my hair has been destroyed by untreated hypothyroidism. It is very dry, does not grow much, etc. So.... I have kind of given up for now.

I will give it another try at some point.

When we first teach babies/kids to neglect their instincts, that is when it gets hard to unteach them. I blame disposables, mainly because they have brought along the practice where diapers are changed every x hours, instead of after each time the diaper gets dirty. (Disgusting.. why do people do this to their kids... No wonder there is terrible rash, etc.)

Our daughter did not do #2 in her diaper since she was 8 months old, after I finally figured things out. It is ridiculous to claim that babies are not developed enough to hold it in. (Think of those African mamas who carry their naked babies. Do you think they get eliminated on 20 times a day? Look back in history... I doubt that human bodies have changed that much all of a sudden.)

We have trained ourselves not to know how to respond to the needs of our babies. Then THEY get blamed for not "learning" how to use the bathroom.

I agree with some of the above posters: Teaching numbers to 100 is actually a disservice, unless it is done right. I spent a lot of time as a teacher (1st grade) trying to undo the damage. The way math works, you never count higher than 9. When you reach 10, it is time to move into the bigger house with a different name (tens, hundreds, etc.). Until a child understands this (which won't happen at 2.5), they really should not deal with double digits. (In English it is very confusing, anyway... twenty, etc. In some other languages it is e.g. "three-tens-two", instead of "thirtytwo" which is so much easier for a child to understand.)

For dd the best things were little games where she had to count something and then matched that with the right number card.

I love them! However, I prefer living simply, and something like this will never fit in my budget.

Since, at least for me, the inside is not anything special, how about having a custom made "box" of some sort to put the fridge in.... Woud cost only a fraction and would last forever, as you could replace the fridge.

Does anyone know where I could buy some of that radiator screen? I am not in the US, so I would need to find it online.

Thanks!
