I am thinking of leasing a Nissan Rogue. Any opinions? My income is currently about 50,000 but in the next year will reach 80,000 as I graduate with my BA in December. I have another car, fully paid off (2002 Cavalier), that I can use now and then for trips to make sure I don't rack too many miles on the Rogue. I am thinking of doing the lease and then buying it in the end, as I will be in a much more secure financial situation at that time. What do you think?

My husband and I will be going to visit his parents in Virginia in January and would like to get our 6-month-old daughter baptized during that trip. My husband went to Catholic school his entire life and has a church in mind that he would like the baptism to take place, so that is not a problem. What do we need to do to prepare a "destination baptism?" Will we be able to do this over the phone? should I have his mom go meet with the priest? is there any documentation we will need? This is our first baby and I am not familiar with the process of arranging a baptism. Any help is welcome, thanks!

If you have a Hotsling or Peanut Shell Sling, how long did you use it? I ordered one to use with my 6-month-old daughter and would like to know how much use I will get out of it (I ordered the Peanut Shell)

I recently purchased a HP Pavilion TK-53 laptop. It is brand new and I haven't even opened the box. What should I start the bidding at for this item on ebay? What do you think I will get for it?

I am getting auto quotes online and want to know what a reasonable amount would be to finance on a $30,000 car? Credit score 720. Thanks!

We have used the Baby Trend Diaper Champ for 5 months now and it is absolutely rancid. We empty it often, and have even tried bleaching the inside hoping to get rid of the smell. We have started wrapping the poopy diapers in scented bags before disposing of them in the Diaper Champ, which we shouldn't have to do according to the company's claims. This still hasn't helped. Any ideas, has anyone else had this problem with this product? Does anyone know if Diaper Genie gets stinky too? My daughter's room wreaks right now and the Champ is empty. Not so much of a "champ" if you ask me!!!

I sing and my dad asked me to sing for my mom's 50th birthday party next weekend. Any song ideas?

So far i was thinking So Small by Carrie Underwood, Was That my Life by Jo Dee Messina, You Raise Me Up by Josh Groban... and that's about all I have gotten so far. It doesn't have to be country, just a song that would work well for a 50th birthday, preferably a ballad

I have a 5 month old daughter (well, she will be 5 months tomorrow), and I started my first postpartum period tonight. I am supposed to be getting Mirena put in place tomorrow morning and I wanted to know about your own personal experience with "installation" lol, and the few days or months following. How did you feel? What did you experience? Would you recommend Mirena? Positive or negative feedback welcome. I know there are many different outcomes and every body is different. I am just curious to see if there is more negative than positive. Thanks!

I am watching Jenny McCarthy on Larry King Live and I am just wondering, as a poll if you will, if you choose to vaccinate or not? My daughter is four months old and has received all of her vaccinations to date, but I want to hear your stand on this, or any story you may have to share regarding infant vaccinations and autism, or any other side effects you may have enountered. Thanks!

I see a lot of questions asking about baby milestones, and I decided to ask about a few that I haven't seen on here before.

When did you baby first:

sit unassisted?

pull him or herself up to a standing position?

cut a tooth?

I am 21 and I always hear $2.00 you-call-it's advertised - what are they? I know it is a drink special but what does it mean?

My ten-week-old daughter has gained control of her hands and is now fascinated by her ability to put her hands to her bottle, suck on her fingers, and unfortunately SCRATCH HER FACE! She scratched her face on two occasions today and drew blood. There wasn't much bleeding, but the scratches were about half an inch each and it broke my heart to see her bleed and cry. I have the mittens and they worked wonderfully when she was fresh out of the womb, but now she can wiggle out of them... even a nicer pair I have that goes up higher on her arm. I am wondering if any other parents found another solution for this problem. I am very worried that she will scratch her eyes or cause more painful sores on her beautiful face. What can I do to prevent scratching? What can I put on her scratches?
