Thinking about buying the 09 Saturn Vue XE V6. I am used to driving a Jeep Grand Cherokee with selectable part time or full time 4WD. Wondering how the Saturn handles in the snow. I've never had AWD and this is a major concern in my decision. We live in Upstate NY and in a rural area so Winter driving can get pretty bad. Any input is greatly appreciated!

I am considering buying a used 2009 Saturn Vue XE V6. The dealer description does not say if the power side mirrors are heated. They also did not indicate if the driver seat was powered but I test drove the car and know it is. Is there any way I can find out if this specific car has the heated mirrors? It's summer and hot so I guess there isn't a way to actually test it. I am wondering if there is an icon or anything I should look for to know for sure. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

My husband and I normally take a 1 week yearly Florida vacation alone. This year we are bringing our 3 yr old daughter and family will also be joining us on the trip. In the past we have cherished our vacation together and it has really helped us re-connect and find peace and relaxation from the busyness of life. I'm concerned that this trip will feel more like doing our every day life in a different place. Don't get me wrong, we want to have fun with everyone but need suggestions on how to find time for romance and relaxing?

Looking for a place for my husband and I. We go away yearly for a fall vacation.

Expo brand dry erase marker in black and red. Just small spots on the wall from my 2 yr old. She was careless and turned around and her marker hit the wall. I tried water and the eraser I have for dry erase boards but neither worked. I don't want to make it worse. The wall color is a light beige. Kind of like the color of wheat bread...

I bought some champagne a year ago but never drank it.. is it still good?

I don't want to buy from Ebay and don't want to make one myself from Nick JR. Are there any websites or stores you know of where I can buy a Wonder Pets Christmas Ornament? If they are listed on EBay it leads me to believe that they are sold else where too.

I don't want to damage the leather but I need to get the black pen marks off.

My husband and I are celebrating our 5th anniversary in 2 weeks. I asked him to get me a 5 stone anniversary band to commemorate our special day. He and i picked it out together and he will be giving it to me on the day. We'll be going away for a long weekend too. I just don't know what to get him to make it special.

My daughter is sick and the doctor gave her Amoxicillin for 2x/day. I gave her some at like 230pm then another dose before bed 830pm. It was like 5 hrs apart. Now I'm worried that I gave her the doses too close together. My mom says it's fine...what do you think?

I have an interview this week. I want to wear a suit and it's my first time wearing this one.

It's a grey suit with white pinstripe and a VERY subtle pink pinstripe. The pink is so subtle that you can't see it from like 5 feet away. I want to wear the pants and jacket with a rose pink tank underneath.

For accessories I'm planning a silver earring with pink stones and a silver layered necklace with pink stones and pearls stationed around.

I was planning to wear black strappy sandals. Or I can wear white sandals with a bow detail.

Does this outfit sound like it will work??? What shoes should I wear???

My step-mom is turning 50 and i am going to her birthday party tomorrow. We aren't very close. I mostly just see her at family functions like birthdays, christmas, weddings, etc. I need an idea of something to get her. She is a nice lady and I like her but I just don't know what to get.

I'm re-posting. I think the first time I put my question in the wrong section.

I need new pots/pans. I have old T-Fal brand ones and the non-stick is starting to come off of. I have a 2 year old and I know it can be dangerous if the non-stick stuff gets into food and you eat it. I worry especially for her health. I'm looking for new pots and pans but there are so many kinds I don't know where to start. Can anyone offer advise?

My daughter is 21 months and eats a pretty well balanced diet. I know alot of mom's have trouble getting their kids to eat right. I feel like my daughter eats well she loves fruits, vegetables, dairy, and eats healthy snacks. The only thing that concerns me is that she doesn't eat much meat. She will eat chicken if I give her the pre-packaged toddler meals like chicken with mac and cheese, or chicken with vegetables and mashed potatoes, or a slice of turkey on grilled cheese etc. I guess the problem is I feel like I am always trying to come up with ways to get her to eat meat by sneaking it in with other things she likes. I try meat like products like eggs but she isn't into them at all. I don't think she regularly gets the 1-2 oz recommended serving of meat per day. Can anyone offer advise?

My husband and I just got back from a 2 night trip away. I discovered that while we were gone my mom accidentally used regular crest toothpaste on our daughter. She did not use the flouride free safe to swallow baby toothpaste I provided in the overnight bag. Can anything bad happen because of this??? Please help.

My daughter is 15 months old. A few books I've read say that this is about the time she should begin self feeding with a fork or spoon. She self feeds with her fingers right now. Things that require a fork or spoon, I feed to her. Sometimes I let her play with her baby spoon afterward. Other times she grabs for the spoon when I'm feeding her but won't put it to her mouth and won't let me help her navagate the spoon to her mouth. It seems like she just wants me to do it for her.

Is it too early to teach her to eat with a spoon?

How do I go about teaching her to feed herself with a utensil?

Any suggestions are appreciated.

My daughter is 15 months old. She has never drank from a cup. She won't use a sippy cup or any other kind of cup. I've purchased about 5 different sippy's and she refuses them all. If I try to put the cup to her mouth she swats it away or turns her head. She only drinks milk from a bottle. She won't even drink water or juice or anything. Today I attempted the cup again and when I put it to her mouth she said "stop". She is advanced with her language skills and I think she is too smart to drink from the cup when she doesn't want to. I think she is capable of drinking from a cup but just doesn't want to. This battle has gone on since she was about 10 months old when we first tried to give her a cup. Her doctor suggests I make her go cold turkey and give her nothing but a cup. She wants me to completely get rid of the bottles and basically force her to use the cup. I'm not sold on the idea.

Has anyone else had this kind of problem? If so- what did you do about it?

Is it really a problem if I just keep giving her bottles and waiting for her to use the cup when she is ready?

Do you think she will come around and warm up to the idea of the cup?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I got a bottle of Tequila Rose for christmas. I drank 1 show on new years eve then forgot it was in the liquor cabinet. I tried to look on the website for it but can't find any info on refrigeration. The bottle doesn't offer any suggestions either. Does anyone know if it should be refrigerated after opening?

Instinct tells me it should be since it's like strawberry milk in a way but I'm really not sure.
