I don't remember ever losing a shoe in a public place. However, one time we traveled out of town for church services. When we got htere I realized that I did not bring my dress shoes to go with my dress! So I had to wear my tennis shoes with my dress to church!

Your rates should not go up. However, whether they will pay for the repair or not depends on what you have on your policy. If you only have liability insurance it won't pay any. If you have full coverage it should pay especially if you carry uninsured motorist. Either way your rates should not increase.

I really prefer live trees, but like you have come to enjoy the convenience of artificial ones. They can be put up when you want and taken down earlier as you pointed out. It saves money and the environment. Although recently there have been some creative ideas on how to help the environment with the used trees.

Like you said, I wouldn't cut them off from their own cousins. That wouldnt' seem fair as the children have done no wrong. It would be an unfair punishment! I would talk to my own kids openly and honestly about the situation. I had to deal with a similar situation with my kids. I told them just what they needed to know then answered any questions. I am finding that if they know enough to ask a ...

I think it depends. IF the husband works outside the home and the wife does not, then it becomes her "job" to maintain the house. However, if they both work outside the home it should be a shared responsibility. IT's nor fair for them to both work outside the home and then when they come home he props his feet up to watch tv while she after working her full day out has to cook supper, do laundr...

I really don't know if we can actually think before each and every act! However, if we make some personal decisions concerning ourselves it is much easier. If I decide to always be honest then that will dictate some actions in advance! So there are decisions that can be made before an act occurs and allowing those to dictate what I do is kind of like thinking "before" each act.

I don't guess I've ever seen them offered in a restaurant. But then, of course I don't eat out very often anyway! How were they served in the restaurant? Was it with cheese, or vegetables, or some sort of meat. I guess I have seen them in Chinese food places now that I think about it!

Several have mentioned making them with eggs. I have yet to try that one! I can't make it sound good yet! My son-in-law puts boiled eggs in it kinda like a combination egg/macaroni salad dish. That at least sounds interesting.

I think I could make homeade chicken soup. I would just boil the chicken, then debone it. Then I would put the chicken back into the broth along with whatever veggies I like and cook it all together.
