I do not want to hook the phone up to service but just use them as an intercom from upstairs kids bedrooms to the basement master bedroom. Is that possible or do you need to be plugged into a phone line?

Thanks!

I woke up this morning to find my bank account empty and a charge for almost $400 to a hotel in another state. I called the hotel and found out that it is my ex boyfriend that is checked in there.

They have agreed to void the charges which will take 3-4 business days to post back into my account (next thursday at the latest) I also canceled my debit card that was used and will not receive another for 7-10 business days..with bills to pay and life to live this is really a huge pain not to be able to access MY money.

This ex is pretty slimy and I can totally see him stealing from me but here is the catch, about a year ago I helped the ex out by booking a room in this same hotel and they may have kept my debit card info on file. So was it his intention to steal my money? His responsibility to make sure he was using his own card? Or is the hotel to blame for charging the wrong card or not being more thorough when accepting payment?

Should I file a police report against the ex for theft even though the hotel voided the transaction?

I have a very messy 8 year old son. Every shirt he wears is instantly covered in dirt and food stains. I wash promptly, use a color safe bleach laundry additive that is supposed to help with stains and often pre soak his clothes with stain remover. So far nothing works :( Any suggestions?

Thanks!

My 8 year old son wants to go... I can see its rated PG13 for "language, sensuality and epic battles"

I'm ok with my kiddo hearing some language/sensuality/epic battling but dont want to go if its too vulgar/ graphic etc... any first hand opinions? Thanks!

Without my knowledge or permission a co-worker linked my blackberry to her phone using my bluetooth connection. I have no idea why or what that does. What information could she have gotten from me? Could she use/ steal my service that way? Did she view my text msgs or emails? Why would someone do that?

Thanks!

I am building a super cool paper mache tree for my sons bedroom. The tree is about 4 feet tall and going to hang in the corner of his loft bed to give the feel of sleeping in a treehouse :) Just checked on it while drying in the garage and discovered HUNDREDS of earwigs feasting upon it! AAARRGG! Yuck! Dont want to spray it with chemicals but also dont want to infest my sons room and bed with these bugs either :( Any ideas on how to salvage my project? Thanks!

I just moved into a new house with a large yard. Only problem is that a busy street runs along side of the back yard. Currently there is a 3' chain link fence. Replacement with a 6' wood privacy fence seems awfully expensive for a rental so I was looking for ways to use the existing fence to create privacy... with slats or something. Wondering how simple it is to extend the chain link up another 3' ie do I need to replace the posts etc.

Anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks!

my dream job would be to work in an elementary school to be on the same schedule with my own kids. Perhaps as office staff but open to any other ideas! Does anyone know what it takes as far as education and background to get such a job?

Thanks!

My 7 year old sleeps on the top bunk of a tall bunk bed at Dad's house, his little sister sleeps on the bottom. He has been bugging Dad for more space, he really wants his own room, being unable to accommodate such a request his Dad has instead hung a tapestry as a curtain around the top bunk to give my son more of a private space.

We are in total disagreement about the safety of this tapestry.

What do you think?

My son would like to celebrate his birthday at the movie theater watching the new Disney Earth movie. Due to the high ticket prices I have estimated I can only afford to invite 6 of his friends plus kid popcorn's and drinks.The time has come to send out the invites and I am having trouble!! First I am unsure how to politely state that parents and siblings are welcome to join us but need to purchase there own tickets and the theater cant list show times more than a week in advance! This particular theater has a little cafe area they said I can use for serving cake I can bring but unsure if I should plan to serve before or after the film? They also have a small arcade area so one idea is to show up an hour/hr and 1/2 early, have cake and play games to show time.

Has anyone else out there had a movie themed birthday and had to deal with these problems?

Thanks :)

My score is 694. I have a couple low limit credit cards with out too much debt on them ( about $500 combined) and a high interest car loan and no negative items on my report :)

Will it help or hurt my score to pay off all my credit card debt in full?

What else can I do?

I am sure it is but I dont really get it. Who gets screwed on this deal?

I am planing to get married to the love of my life in about a year. I have no personal debt while he on the other hand has somewhere around 100k! I am wondering if anyone has experience with this and knows if I will be assuming his debts/credit score etc via marriage?

I just bought a new pair of winter boots I love but the left is just slightly too small and starting to hurt :(

Are there companies that alter boots? Or methods of stretching anyone has tried themselves?

Thanks!

My son is in the first grade at a public k-8 school. There are some aspects I have not been thrilled with. The size for one, not only k-8 but the high school is on the same campus. The school setting and playground seem to cater to the older kids. And they pushed reading so hard in kindergarten my son not only fell behind but became very discouraged and felt "stupid"(his words). He is doing much better this year. Almost all caught up in the reading dept. has lots of friends and seems comfortable in his school.

The problem is now is the time to open enroll him if I choose to do so.

I am looking at a public k-5 art focus school that is waldorf based.

Cant decide if it would be more detrimental or helpful to switch him for grades 2-5? Any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated!

My son loves these things and apparently so does everyone else because they are sold out everywhere! Can anyone tell me why they are SO popular or what the game is about?

My son is in the first grade. I was told the end of the year reading expectation is i level books. Currently he is reading B level (a level below expectation) I am having a hard time finding books listed by A-B-C ect. level. Does anyone know where I can find books or just see what an i level book looks like?

for a person to get sober?

My son is 6 and in the 1st grade. He is struggling with reading. He is getting extra help at school and at home but as an added fun activity I have started writing notes on his snack bags(zip lock type) It has to be fairly easy to read. So far I have written "Your Mummy Loves You" with a picture and "Who,Who is the best kid? You, You" w/ a drawing of an owl of course! Anyone have any other clever ideas for me?

thanks!

Thinking of starting a cleanse type of detox and wondering if anyone has any opinion on good or bad ones.
