My 8 day old has suddenly decided not to latch on the last two days. I am doing all I can to get her to wake up for feedings every 3 hours. Most of the time I have just ended up trying for a long time with no success to get her to latch, so I pump and feed her the pumped milk by syringe. Is it okay to skip a feeding in a newborn as long as I still get up to pump every 2 to 3 hours?

I have a wood fence that is coming apart at the brackets between each panel of wood. The wood is in good shape. I think if I just try to screw the wood to the brackets again it wouldn't quite fit, like the fence has separated. How do I repair this?

I would like a few specific recommendations for good mid-priced wines. I am hoping someone will be able to tell me specific names, types, and years to look for.

I prefer sweeter wines, but not too sweet. I'd like both red and white and the more unusual the better. Thanks!

I am having a wine and cheese party in a few weeks. We've asked everyone to bring a bottle of wine with them. We also want to provide some wine for the guests, but I want to get a few bottles that are more unusual. Could you suggest a few good wines that are unusual? I'm assuming my guests with bring the usual wines like pinot noir, reisling, etc. Also, which cheeses would you recommend?

I am just about done reading The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey. I think his ideas are great and I want to follow the baby steps. I have the $1,000 emergency fund in place, but when it comes to the debt snowball I am a little stuck. I currently own a 2004 Chrysler Pacifica. I owe $11,000 on it. I am not opposed to selling it, but they are only selling for $9,500 to $10,000 in my area. So I would take a $1000 to $1500 loss by selling it. Also, if I did sell the vehicle, I would definitely need another one ASAP..... since I only have the $1,000 emergency fund for savings, how would I purchase the replacement vehicle?

Where do I enter the amount of property taxes I paid when I am using H&R block's taxcut program? The only area that I can see is labled "real estate tax" Is that where I enter it?

I bought a high efficiency washer and dryer in 2008. Is this a tax deduction?

We are having a fitness challenge at work. We need to come up with a name for our team..... any suggestions? We work in an imaging department (x-ray, ultrasound, cat scan, etc) and will be competing against different departments. HELP!

I got 3 large tubs of sugar cookie dough on sale. Does anyone have any recipes using sugar cookie dough? I'm looking for something other than cookies.

I have been looking to get some new kitchen knives. I have found that you should look for a high carbon stainless steel and a full tang. I found two sets on sale at my local Herberger's. The first set comes with more pieces, but is less expensive... can anyone see a reason that the second set would be more expensive?

I am thinking about buying "The Big One" towels at Kohl's for a christmas gift. If you've owned these towels - Did the color fade quickly with washing? Did the hem stay together for a long time? Did they give off a lot of fuzz at first? Overall, what did you like or dislike about these towels? Would you buy them again?

I have a 16 oz. jar of alfredo sauce. Do you think that jar will be enough to cover 14 oz. of fettuccine, 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts and 2 cups of broccoli?

I have a bag of already made meatballs in the freezer. What can I make with them, other than spaghetti and meatballs?

I have some frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts, some cream of chicken soup, some fettuccini and some egg noodles, any ideas of what I can make for dinner in the crock pot?

I bought a small jar of roasted garlic from the produce department at my grocery store. I really love garlic, but now I don't know what to do with it. Do you have any ideas/ recipes?

I'm trying to think of a bunch of songs to put on my ipod for when I have parties at my house. I want music that will appeal to a wide variety of people. What are some songs you'll never get sick of on your ipod?

I am going to Sandals Antigua in December, will the water in the ocean and pool be warm enough so that we can swim?

My husband and I want to go to the Carribean sometime between December and March. We would like a resort that won't take long to get to after we leave the airport. Can anyone suggest any specific all inclusive resorts?

My husband and I are trying to plan our next vacation.... we really wanted to go to Sandals St. Lucia but once you add the airfare, it's over our budget. Can anyone recommend a mexican vacation for a young couple? We'd like all inclusive and if possible a place that doesn't allow children.

I am thinking of going to Sandals in St. Lucia in December. Has anyone been there at that time of the year? How was the weather? Would you recommend going in December? Anything I should know about?
