RE: Surviving Family Thanksgiving
My husband is allergic to cats and it was a miserable day for him when we went to his aunts. If it was a child allergic to the cats would you make him go into that environment? NO. I would suggest putting the cats in the basement away from the furnace, and cleaning the house really well, or meeting at a restaurant. Mother-in-laws can be a pain but if the cats bother allergies that is not her fault. I love cats but can't have them due to husband and child. I had to get rid of one I loved. One day of the cat being in the basement will not hurt them. Good luck, let us know what you do. Restaurants are easy clean up. ... View related article.

RE: Fighting The Flu
My doctor told me the flu shot contained Mercury. I am Leary of giving my kids anymore shots, especially if they contain mercury. I am not going to give them the H1N1 due to lack of testing on it. ... View related article.

RE: Buying Wholesale Dented Canned Food
Not a good idea. I work for the schools and if things are dented we can not serve it. It can cause one to get very sick. ... View related article.

RE: Wash Cloth for Telephone Space Around Toddlers
Sometimes people get calls and need to talk on the phone. My father was very ill when my children were toddlers and there was no way I was going to call him back when they took a nap. Children are precious and we just need to make sure their environment is safe and they have something to entertain them for a moment so you can make a call. ... View related article.

RE: Helping Improve a Child's Concentration on Studies
I agree with the 1st poster. The others I do not think realize you are dealing with Middle School children. They are still young, but not that young to play all the games with. Have them tested if they have not already been, if they had a problem it would have shown up by now and teachers would have been complaining. It could just be your child is at that age where they are going to try and get away with as little as possible. If you except them getting average grades or bad grades then that is all they are going to produce, unless there is a learning disability. If it is true ADD then you will have to except that what they do is what they can, or medicate. Coffee in the morning is a good way to get them motivated and ready for the day. It is a stimulant, but so is the med. they would take. Try that. Another thing to try if they are only having problems in a certain subject is to get a college student to tutor. I had one and she only charged 15 and hour. Good luck. Kids at this age are hard. Elementary school is so much easier. ... View related article.

RE: My Frugal Life: Recession? What Recession?
I agree. I would have loved to have bought all kinds of new things, and eaten out all the time, but we did not and we can still afford our house, and still can eat. ... View related article.

I have to agree with the rest. Being thrifty is one thing, that is not, that is almost like stealing from those who really do need it. ... View related article.
