As most of you probably know, the colors of the Awareness Ribbons cover MANY different causes! For example, the yellow ribbon represents Adoptive Parents, Deployed Soldiers, Endometriosis, Equality, Hope, Liver Cancer, Liver Disease, Missing Children, Missing Persons, Suicide Prevention, Testicular Cancer, and Childhood Cancer... Is there a way that an individual can change the color for a specific cause? If so, HOW? Who or what organization do I need to address? I'm at a loss here, so I thought I'd see if anyone else has tried (or succeeded) at this same task.

If the parents are divorced, and said child lives primarily with one. What legal rights does the child have, if under the age of 18?

I am in charge of crafts for a women's group this fall/winter/spring, and wondered if anyone had ideas? This is a church-related group of adult mother's of young children. I have *lots* of ideas of my own, but was hoping to get a few more from someone else. We are limited to just 20-30 minutes of craft time, and budgeted to just $2 per project per woman. I realize those are some tight guidelines, but there are some things I've found! Any suggestions?

Thank you!

What about someone who seems to have plenty of time to ask dozens of questions every day, but seemingly does not have the time to complete the question/answer/vote system. Or do you even care. . . Do you just answer to give your opinion and then move on?

It seems that I saw a product a few years back that you could add to a can of paint to create an almost glittery shimmer effect. I don't remember where, and I can't seem to locate it on the internet. Maybe I'm calling it the wrong things?

I was at a Pot Luck dinner, and *somebody* brought these awesome cookies!!! They looked/tasted like they had white chocolate chips, blueberries, and maybe cranberries in them and they were *SO* good! Of course, with it being a pot luck, I had no idea who brought them to ask for the recipe. . . I looked for a name on the container, and asked around. Nothing!

My best friends child has terminal cancer. I'm thinking of asking her if she would like to make a package for her mom for after she's gone. Do you think this is wise? The child is 14, and is an only child. Dx'd at the beginning of the year, only given to the end (maybe) of this year. I was thinking, maybe notes, or small trinkets for special days, or just letting her use her own imagination, with the promise of delivering.

It seems I've read of this before, or saw it in a movie. Would it be appropriate, in your opinion, for me to even casually mention it? Or should I just allow life to go on as it is? They are *extremely* close.

Our lot sits a little higher than our neighbors, and we had *so* much rain recently, that you could literally see the water pouring through the privacy fence into their yard. We also have problems with a bit of water on the garage floor when it rains a lot. Are their any plants or shrubs that might help eliminate this problem??? We live in Zone 6A (South-Midwest US)

It worked fine yesterday! After interrigating my children, I have discovered that while the drive was open, it was hit from the side "on accident". It doesn't appear visibly broken, but apparently it cannot load the info from the discs anymore. I put one in that worked fine yesterday, and all I get is a noise that is a sort of clicking-hum for a few seconds. The drawer does feel a little loose on the side it apparently got ran into with a knee.

Is there anything I personally can do, or will it need professional care?

seem to figure it out for myself! I have yahoo e-mail. I know this has to be simple ~ which frustrates me more!!! lol

I can't open my e-mail, but can come here. . .What can I do? It has been most of today that I've been unable to get into my e-mail. It doesn't even give me the option of typing in my password ~ Just has the "Internet Explorer Cannot Display the Page". . .

Although I like it spicy, I'm afraid I overdid it for my kids. . .

I have lived a very blessed life. Really, the only big losses I've had to deal with is the death of several grandparents. There are day to day dramas ~ things that at the time seem huge. But they all pale *greatly* compared to this.

She had her first appt. last week (we had all just thought maybe she had growing pains), and is now in a hospital 4 hours away, on chemo. Initially, it was believed to be just in her knee. Today, they discovered several other places.

My friend is very strong emotionally, but this is tearing her apart! And I totally understand that. But I don't have a clue what I can possibly say or do. Aside from saying "I'm here if you need me for ANYTHING, or if you just want to talk." This is her only child.

Has anyone else gone through similar situations and can give me ideas?

of the family with him over his lifetime, and I noticed that the Dr.'s wife used to look pretty average, but now seems anorexic! Does anyone else see this?

My best friends aunt ran into me the other day, and that is how she referred to her. I didn't know what to say ~ it's not a word I've ever used. I looked it up, but wondered if anyone uses it in their everyday vocabulary?

We have all agreed to just do 'snack' type dishes. They're coming between mealtimes, and I just plan to make duplicates for each day. My thinking was something like a festive "vegetable pizza" wreath: http://www.cdkitchen.com/recipes/recs/76/Appetizer... a cheese ball and crackers, cookies, peanut butter balls, and the old crock pot cheese dip standby; sausage, cheese & cracker tray; veggie tray; and little smokies. My dear husband thinks I should just limit it to the dip, meat & cheese tray, veggie tray, and little smokies. Not me. What are some good, festive, *easy* finger foods you like to fix for just such an occasion???

garage sales, and Goodwill?
