I know ours will take China, as well as the Salvation Army. We donate once a year, and they ask the size of our things, as we have donated furniture, usually case goods. We wear out our chairs and sofa. So they go to the person that picks up goods to replace and refurbish the materials. It's a win win for them and us. We get rid of things that we can't repair. They fix them up and sell them for a modest price.

They also get all the clothing that I don't wind up using for other things. This year I turned some of the boys old jeans into hanging toppers for kitchen towels, my mom and mil will love those

It was warm, and still is. Sunshine and right now 60 degrees. Mt. Airy is vastly over rated. It is the town that Andy Griffin was born in and the model for Mayberry, but, other then places named after stuff on the TV Show (like Floyd's Barbershop) it's highlight is a bronze statue of Andy and Opie. A duplicate one can be found in Raleigh as well. Got a little golf on the agenda in about an hour or so.

I hear you. My first house must have been fancier because it was $25000.00. ;) As I said, I have been lucky that I haven't had much in the line of tooth problems. I was raised until 15 in upper, upper New York State. When I had my first dental appointment in Vermont the first thing the dentist said was, you aren't from around here are you? You must be from a place that had fluoride in the water. I had been and it lasted for a life time. My dads teeth were terrible and he had dentures by the time he was 50. My mother had beautiful teeth that she practically wore out from brushing, but, at the same time only ate the soft parts of all food. As you stated they were wonderful on the outside, but, inside they were just fillings. She could hardly walk past a magnet without pulling toward it. :) Both my children have had no cavities in their lives. My wife had just shells with fillings, but, she was from Cananada, where, I'm sure @JenniferS will verify, teeth are not considered essential.

Fluoride was never in well water. When you grow up on a farm no one was watching anything. Today, we pay through the tooth!:D

Allrighty then, we are now staying at POR! I booked through UndercoverTourist and had already booked FPs on the COR reservation and was told after that was cancelled the FPs would be as well, but so far they are still standing. I wonder if it's because I had both reservations linked before cancelling? Either way I've been vigilant about checking to make sure they are still there. :cool:

Today Disney said they are fixing the busing at POR for the MK anyhow. Good start. Hope it isn't just for the holidays.

If one is younger, I understand the concern, but, geez Louise, I'm 68 years old. At best, I'm maybe looking at another 20 years and I doubt that all those years are going to be highly active or social. I'm trying to decide how much movement is possible and then even what difference it will make. I can't seem to get any straight answers. Years, ago I had 4 wisdom teeth removed. They were sideways even and to my knowledge nothing changed at all with them missing.

But, did you lose any wisdom? o_O Just sayin . . . :p

My parent's didn't do dentistry, until something horrible popped up. They had false teeth. First time I went to the dentist was when I was going to college. It was required back in the day. Damage was already done, I have all of my back teeth, into crowns. We didn't have fluoride in our well water. My teeth looked good, but was very decayed on the inside. I got to live through so many fillings, then on to crowns. Now after 10 years, they all need replaced. This will cost into the thousands of dollars....around 27,000$. How are retired people supposed to come up with that kind of money? Hubby's last crown cost 5,000$. For one crown. I have many in the back of my mouth. This dental system is crazy. I guess at some point we will all have false teeth. Can't afford anything else. By the way, our first house only cost 23,000$. Crazy times we live in.

It's awful. But the thing I hate most is if you spend the money, and then the procedure didn't work--you don't get a refund. They'll just shrug their shoulders and say it's too bad it didn't work, as not all procedures work for everyone. (If you buy a new refrigerator and it breaks in a week, the store comes to pick it up and replaces it with a new one. But if your dental procedure didn't work, you get nothing back . . .) :mad:

Glad i missed those flu things and no epidural in labor.

I didn't have an epidural with my DS, should have, it was too late by the times things started to go south. DD, they wanted to use pitocin to make things progress-thus the epidural, my hissy fit didn't work, I didn't want pitocin and I still am certain that if they didn't she would not have wound up in the NIC unit.

Devastating to see this. We lost 13 firefighter's on King Mountains several years ago, I still haven't got over this. So many needless death's. Please don't set a camp fire if you don't know how to put it out. We did a camp fire in an approved grate. Then we wait, and kicked the coals for a couple hours to make sure it was out, along with flooding it with water. You can never be too careful. If I couldn't pick up a "coal" we didn't leave until I could.

My in-laws live up in the Rockies. Every year they cringe over the thought of forest fire--mostly from careless people. Their house is right in the woods.

Hee hee . . . hubs made pizza tonight and brought me 2 slices, upstairs in our computer room. He goes back downstairs and a certain D O G was pulling a slice off his plate on the kitchen table--I knew this because I heard him yelling at Jack: "You stinking mutt--give me back my pizza!" Then a commotion--Jack comes barreling up the stairs with a whole slice of pizza hanging out of his mouth, and hubs was running up behind him -- yelling at Jack to "Drop IT!!!" :eek:

HAHHAHHAA!!! :hilarious: (Not to worry, there were at least 3 slices left on the pizza pan, so hubs still had enough slices.) Meanwhile, Jack inhaled his absconded slice once he escaped from hubs! :D

Yep, definitely something going around. I started with a sore throat Monday night and it's turned into congestion and some coughing. I'm really hoping it doesn't get worse!

That sounds like what I had/have. Yesterday by the end of work I felt like death (not literally), today I feel better today but a lot of coughing. Hope that you are feeling better too!
