I know you need to complete basic step 3 times. What does "complete" mean? I've done it a bunch of times and I always get a lot of perfects and score pretty well. Advanced step hasn't opened up yet.

My husband and I are trying to get away for 1 night from visiting my parents in ft. lauderdale. We are going to South Beach. We're in our mid 30's and are looking to be at the beach, go to a good restaurant and maybe a bar or club, but probably not anything too wild. Just a good fun night away from the kids and the routine.

The weekdays are so much cheaper!!! We think we found the right hotel. Can we find what we're looking for on a Tuesday night, for example?

My 6 month old son eats cereal and fruits/vegetables. I go back and forth deciding if I should give him his bottle or his food first. I don't think I could go back and forth because he would not be happy to have the bottle taken away from him. He likes to eat. :-)

If I give him his food first he's a little difficult and wiggly because he wants it faster I think, but I think he would want to have the bottle last so that he can drink after he eats. If I give him his bottle first he seems to be calmer when eating his food.

There is no right answer I'm sure....just curious about what you do and your opinion.

In the corner of a window sill in my home I discovered a yellow lump. When I touched it, there was soft dirt-like stuff there. It seems so gross. I cleaned it up, and it was like cleaning mud. Could it be from rotting wood, some sort of eggs, bad gutters?

I've been breastfeeding him and every night since he was born he's been getting a bottle of breastmilk from my husband around midnight. He's never had a problem taking this bottle. About a week ago he started crying during this feeding and not eating. We thought maybe he was eliminating this meal. Then my husband tried to give him a bottle during the day because I go back to work next week. He is refusing the bottle now at night and during the day. We try once a day and he just cries and eats maybe 1/2 ounce. Any ideas? I am back at work so we have no choice. He will need to be fed about 3 times while I am gone. My husband will be with him for the next month. How can we get him to take the breastmilk in a bottle without getting upset?

Oh yeah, we tried formula the first time, before we knew the bottle would be a problem. He screamed his head off so I thought it was the formula. Could this experience have turned him compl

My son is 9 weeks old. I'd like to read this book but it is so long!!! I've started to read it, and plan to finish it, but would love to get some new practices in place ASAP. I really wish I read it before he was born since now I barely have any reading time!

So the question is, what are the main ideas/principals in the book? What are your suggestions for getting a child into healthy sleep patterns? I'd love to hear from experienced parents.

How/when did your child begin to sleep through the night?

I asked that in the parenting and the newborn categories. It got deleted due to a "chatting" violation. Maybe since YahooAnswers isn't answering me, someone else might have an idea.

What do you think?

Currently my child is exclusively breastfed with one breastmilk bottle at night with Daddy. He is 7 weeks old. He currently wakes every 3-4 hours to eat. I'm OK with this, but would like to get an idea of what lies ahead.

I would like to hear actual things that you did, or did your child begin on his/her own? What worked for you? How old was your child?

Thanks!

For my baby. He/she is coming in just a couple of weeks. Do you use both? Have both? Please share your parent knowledge with me. :-)

where ever you live, how much do you pay for a dozen mixed bagels? Nothing special, just a variety. Please include where you live in your answer.

Thanks

why is she called Jordan. I don't get it? What's her real name and why does she have 2 names?

Hi. I'm really asking a question that's not exactly about me. I have a friend buying a house. Here are the facts:

-The house cost $400,00 (it will appraise for about $450,000)

-She makes $60,00 a year

-She is putting down 5%

-She is taking $20,000 from her 401k for down payment

-She is doing 6% seller's concession

-It is a legal 2 family, tenants pay $1,300 monthly

-She has less than $20,000 in the bank

-She has a credit score of 695

-This is in NYS

-Her broker told her he is going stated (remember,95%financing!) and mentioned nothing to her about reserves.He told her he can get her 6.5% and didn't mention PMI

Here are my two questions:

1) Is there any way this loan is going to happen?

2) Will she be able to afford this in the long run?

I'm not totally nosey, just clearly worried. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

I have a soreness/pain in my lower stomach muscles when I laugh or cough.....it started yesterday, but has now spread to the muscles along my sides. They are tender to the touch and it hurts to get up out of the bed or a couch. I have been careful about what I am eating today. Mostly soup and toast.

Here are some details:

1) I have moved my bowels a lot more than usual over the past few days and am thinking I may be sore from this.

2) I have not excersized over the past few days so it's not from that.

3) I am trying to get pregnant and may possibly be about 2 weeks, (may or may not) but this feels extreme for that.

Any ideas????? Seem familiar to anybody???

What's the quote that Dr. Evil says when he puts his pinky up to his mouth?

the lyrics in it are: "brrrrmp...it's one of the original.... brrmmp...(something) boom boom boom boom)

Okay, so I clearly don't know the lyrics, but:

Do you know the name of the song?

Can you find a link for me to listen to it?

I put Nestle semi-sweet chocolate chips in a small pot, inside of a bigger pot with boiling water. I've done this many times to make chocolate covered fruit and pretzels. (I've never bought baker's chocolate) This time I got a big ol' lump of chocolate. It never got liquidy to dip into.

Why?

Maybe my bottom pot had too much water. Does this matter?

Did I buy the wrong chips?
