Belladonnis, are you talking about bringing a food item? A dessert? Hmmmm |

And by the way, welcome back! |

Well, just as a suggestion -- I make up coloring books. |

I love that idea, Qsilv! That's along the same lines I was thinking when I asked if she meant food, because I was thinking a specific game or activity might be more fun and appreciated than another dish or dessert. There is a game called Apples to Apples. They have an adult version and a kids version, but I would recommend the kids version. It's still just as fun for the adults, but with words the kids will know and recognize. It's a fun group game and brings out lots of laughs. You can follow the rules as they're written, or just make up your own set. |

Today was a milestone day for my 12yo son! Ever since he was small he ahs argued about taking showers. It's something I just don't understand. His dad and I both have impeccable hygiene, so don't know what his opposition is to it. He will also argue about brushing his teeth. I've even tried to explain the whole "pick your battles" thing to him, saying that it seems weird that he would choose a ten-minute shower as a battle. But still it continues. Until today! |

ANSWER: I am an expert marksman... How did that happen... |

FYI: You can adjust a rifle's sites to fit any consistent shooter... For example, if you always miss your target low and to the left, you adjust the site left & down to force your aim to come up and to the right. You keep adjusting until your shots are on center... So consistency is the end all of marksmanship... |

With reference to your bisness going bust, matthew ... there's no need to feel shame ... BIG businesses are going down; it's a sign of the times. I wish you better luck in 2010. |

- bisness + business |

LOL Robin, "Never mind the dogs, beware of neighbor!" If you find that spell book, would you do for my neighbors with the yappy dog? (giggle - but kind of serious!) |

Missed the spell discussion. I have done with & without appurtenances such as candles, feathers or what all. The Universe simply supplies us with what we carry in mind. (Think YIPPY DOG and you get more; think NEIHBORHOOD HARMONY & away she goes.) That is the short version, but it's worth a try and you don't have to unpack any books. |

Also just noticed Sheftali's time remarks. "Halb acht" IS 7:30, which is quite the same as half-way to eight. Normal was confused while living in Germany by Brit friends who said "half-eight" and meant 8:30! Don't get that at all. |

Normal, enjoyed reminder of idea: "Think YIPPY DOG and you get more; think NEIHBORHOOD HARMONY & away she goes." Reminds me of scene in "Autobiography of a Yogi" where the teacher says to the student, "You look poorly today." The student says, "Well, now that you mention it, I do feel poorly today." The next day the teacher says, "You look well today." Student says, "I do feel well, guess I recovered." Next day the teacher says, "Guess you didn't recover afterall, you look really poorly now!" |

I used a small shotgun when I was 5... Shot guns are good when you are needing something that targets an "area" not just a "spot"... A shot gun shell contains a bunch of pellets that spread out as they leave the barrel of the gun...I graduated to small caliber rifles a year or two later... Rifles fire a single bullet and you must be much more accurate with your shot... |

Figure skating was the 1st thing to come to my mind as well, but you get the scores after each skater... So that is out... |
