I want to write a short note that can be given to the other children in my daughter's day care because this weill be her last week attending the program. Once March comes, she will be old enough to attend the school I teach. I'm thrilled to have her with me, but worried about her missing her current friends....she's going to be 2 years old in March and is too young to understand what going to a new school entails. She has been with some of the children in her current class since infancy. So, I would like some advice on how to word a letter that expresses the above. I think i'm stuck with how to open the letter. I do know that I want to include my phone number to encourage future play-dates with the old friends. Thanks so much.

I've heard about this website, Goggles4U.com and am thinking about trying it....glasses at the store are so expensive! But i want to know if anyone has tried it and what you've thought. Thanks!

Here's a little back info.....My husband works in an office and the office manager's daughter is getting married. He is not friendly with the office manager, and only just met the daughter (who has been working in the office for the past 6-8 weeks). We already declined attending the wedding, should we still buy a gift?

Oh, and btw, the office manager also invited us to her other daugher's graduation party (we did not attend and did not give a gift....we never met the daughter). and we just attended the office manager's son's engagement party. We bought him a gift and went b/c my husband has been workinig with him for over 2 years.

It just seems to us that the office manager is looking for gifts for her kids. all 3 parties were within an 8 week span of time. and i don't know if this matters or not, but the office manager is the boss's sister. Thanks to everyone for your input.

He (and his teammates) just won gold on the last relay. How awesome of a swimmer is he? So talented!

And yes, it really exists.....I looked it up on IMDP, and it came out in '85. DOes anyone else remember being freaked out by it? I can't remember why the bad guy kidnapped the kids....i know he was an artist and the kids had hair that grew really long and fast, but how did they connect? IMDB doesn't explain!

I'm a huge reader, but i've never really read comics. I thought i'd like to try a graphic novel....any suggestions? In novels i like pretty much anything except horror/gore. Science fiction, romance, suspence, mystery, fantasy.....all good! Thanks for your help!

Does anyone have a good recipe for grilling chicken? I am tired of using the same old bottled BBQ sauce (besides my husband doesn't really like it). I plan on having a nice salad and baked potatoes with the chicken. Thanks!

I would like some advice on what to pack and how to make plane travel easiest on my baby, myself, and other plane passengers. I will be taking a 1 hour flight with my 3 month old daughter in June. It will be just the 2 of us, and we were already given the OK by her pediatrician. She told me to nurse on take off and landing to help the baby's ears. I am wondering what is the "best" way to get us through the airport? stroller? baby carrier? should i bring her birth certificate?

I am looking to buy an attachment for my husband's bicycle so he can bring our daughter out for rides. This is going to be a gift, so i can't ask him for advice. I have been leaning toward the front attachment (attaches to the bike frame in front of my hubby's seat) b/c it is supposed to have a better center of gravity. Plus, he would be able to see what she is looking at. We live in a pretty busy area, so i was thinking that the trailer kind would not be as practical for us.....Anyway, i was wondering what kind of bike attachments other people had, and if they were happy with them. Would you recommend the seat you bought? why or why not? I would like to hear about any types of seats....front or rear mounting, and the trailer kind. Thank you!!!

Oh, the one i have really been thinking about is the ibert safe-t-seat. Has anyone used this seat? I have included a link

Is anyone going to follow any of the climbers going for the Everest summit this season? A couple of years ago i read some books about Everest and have been hooked on following the climbers ever since. Would you ever want to climb it? In another life i would.......being married with a baby, i feel it's too risky for me now.

I finished playing the game, but didn't realize that i was only able to get change for the vending machine during chapter 4 until it was too late. I already found all the stars and figured out the mate, but I don't want to play the first 4 chapters again, so can anyone tell me what happens when you put coins and the number in the machine? What was the prize?

I am going in to have my cerclage removed this week. I am 36 weeks pregnant, and just want to know what to expect as the doctor takes the stitch out. I have read all the websites and professional information already. I am really looking for others' experiences. Was it painful? Thank you!

My sister broke her foot yesterday, and has a cast for 1 month. She is not allowed to put any weight on the foot, and has to use crutches. She is a single mother of a 4 year old, and finding it difficult to move around/cook/carry things/etc. I am looking for any advice on living with a cast and crutches that i can pass on to my sister. Thank you.

Did anyone do perineal massage in in the hopes that you would not need a episitomy or tear during childbirth? DId it help? How is it done? I'm 33 weeks pregnant, and have been nervous about the idea of tearing during labor. Thanks!

Can any of you women who have had a cerclage tell me how long did it take you to go into labor after the stitch was removed? days? weeks? My doctor is planning on taking mine out when i'm 36-37 weeks.

And does your husband/boyfriend talk to your belly as well? What do you talk about? I talk to my baby when she starts kicking me! My hubby doesn't talk to the baby much, he likes to touch and rub my belly instead.

I am 31 weeks pregnant, and i have back pain that comes and goes all day. But it's worse at night. I try to sleep on my side with one pillow between my legs and under my belly, and another pillow behind my back. after about 15 minutes, i have to move b/c my back hurts way too much. I end up sleeping on my back b/c that's the only way to get a somewhat comfortable position for my back. Any advice?
