I am trying to find something very similar to this for Christmas for my kids.

I am reading the threads of many people closing shop within the last couple of months. Where is everyone going? I hear talk of everyone moving to a free site or opening their stores on other sites. I know of Craigslist but I cannot sell the quantity of items on that site. If anyone knows please let me know. TIA

Does anyone have any ideas on what are some good games to play for a 4 year old at his birthday party? We are having a Monster Truck theme for his birthday. Any good ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Does anyone know where to find Snoopy/peanuts party supplies? I have looked on Celebrate Express, Oriental Trading, and Party City but there is nothing Snoopy...

Can anyone give me any helpful ideas on where to look for these items?

Thanks in advance..

Has anyone had problems PAYING Bank of America. It takes my husband and I going around and around for Bank of America to accept our credit card payments. They go through a series of off the wall questions like "when was the exact date you opened the account?" How many accounts do you have with us" I mean seriously who knows the exact date they opened the account. And God forbid you pay at a different BOA they give you another series of questions.

They are also holding on to 25.00 they drafted from our Personal Bank that they have not deposited into our BOA account (we set this account up at BOA because they told us that it will make paying the bill easier...NOT), this has been going on for over 4 months.

We cant get no where, the time off from work to deal with them, stress, BOA making our payments late (even though we pay at a branch with a receipt to prove it 3 days before the due date) and them holding our money...Does anyone know if we can take legal action against BOA??

I have an almost 4 year old I just placed into a Spring Camp. He did good the first day but every day after that he has been crying and having tantrums. He is only there a half day. I am a SAHM but I am very active with my SAHMs group. He has about 10 friends that he plays with 3-4 times a week plus we stay busy on the weekends.

He is fine when he wakes up in the morning, on the way there, and going up to the door. As soon as he sees the other kids, he is asking me to go home. Of course I know he needs to grow out of it, but does anyone have any advice where I can sort of try to calm him down. There are days where I can hear him screaming all the way to the car. I just feel so bad for him. Its only for a couple more days. I did this to try to prep-him for preschool which he starts in a couple of months.

Experienced advice is greatly appreciated

I was wondering if anyone knew if drs. do volunatry hysterectomy's? Can they refuse it. I have a long history of ovarian cancer in my family, (my sister was diagonosed at 35 & had a full hysterectomy) I have been diagnosed with PCOS since the birth of my second son. I am done having children, and I have a lot of problems with my periods and cysts. I was just wondering if anyone knows if you can be denied by a dr to have a hysterectomy. I know I would be going through menopause early and I would need to be on different medications for the side effects.

If any one has any opinions on this or has been through a partial or full hysterectomy I would love to hear your story or advice.

Thanks in advance.

I just wanted some thoughts on UTI reaccurances. 2.5 weeks ago I was treated for a UTI with microbid. This past Wednesday it came back and they are treating it with a different antibiotic. Our city water has had large amounts of chlorine/bleach in it. (Everyone in my family gets a UTI upon touching bleach) I have now cut out every thing from coffee, soda, tea, juice etc. I drink nothing but water. (Bottled water only this time around). I take AZO Cranberry. Has anyone had this before. I know reaccuring UTI's are normal but not this close together. If anyone has had UTI's been back 2 back like that before. I have recently lost my health insurance so having a urinalysis might be out of the ?. Helpful suggestions please

Dont know if this is country wide but I know here in S FL it has created a huge problem. Anyone hear of the government buying all these foreclosure and making them Section 8? Just wondering if this is countrywide or just our state.

Does anyone have POS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome)? If so is there anything else besides BC that you do to reduce cystys?

I have a 14 month old who is extremely picky on eating. He is great with carrots, peas, bananas, and grapes. He will eat Mac & Chesse and mashed potatoes and that is about it. I just need some ideas and tips on what I could possibly offer him or something fun to prepare. I offer him everything we eat..chicken, fish, beef etcccc.. My oldest eats anything so he is completely opposite so I never had this problem until now. Suggestions appreciated. Thanks
