Yeah, that would be the LOGICAL thing to do, wouldn't it!!! I just wasn't sure if there was a "typical" way to spell it and I didn't know it.

in this day and age, I doubt there are few names out there with a "typical" way to spell them. . . I can't even begin to think of the various ways to spell Carrie. . .

NC after you posted this in the gardening thread and here I decided I wanted to find out more, so I called an expert ( well not really an expert but someone who's been growing tomatoes for close to 50 years, my sister) she said it is fine to use plastic milk cartons, she has done it in the past and nothing has happened to her plants or herself. I also read that a piece of newspaper or paper towel roll wrapped loosely around the stem about an inch above ground and 2 inch below ground would keep the cut worms away.

Passport Question: I thought I remembered recently that the US government was changing regs about needing passports if you traveled to Canada or Mexico. Previously passports were not required. Anyone know more about this? I'm in bit of a bind because my ex is taking our son to Canada for a week this summer, but I *know* they don't have passports. And frankly, he's, uh, not exactly 'full on clue", and therefore wouldn't have any idea about these things. I just don't want my DS to drive up there with his dad and then get stuck at the border, or worse get into Canada and be unable to get back home. Thanks for any help!

They're being stricter with some other countries that you used to be able to enter with just ID (the Caribean, Bermuda...) from Dec 31st 2005, and from Dec 31st 2006 you won't be able to return from Canada or Mexico without a passport. So you're ok for this summer!

Here's some info: "The travel initiative requirements will be rolled out in phases, providing as much advance notice as possible to the affected public to enable them to meet the terms of the new guidelines. The proposed timeline is as follows: * December 31, 2005 – Passport or other accepted document required for all travel (air/sea) to or from the Caribbean, Bermuda, Central and South America. * December 31, 2006 – Passport or other accepted document required for all air and sea travel to or from Mexico and Canada. * December 31, 2007 – Passport or other accepted document required for all air, sea and land border crossings." link

The more stringent border crossing requirements won't be in effect by this summer, but I think there has always been a requirement that people crossing the border be able to prove their citizenship. They just started enforcing it more after 9/11. We always travel to and from Canada with our passports, but we took a friend with us one day, and he did not bring a passport or any identification besides a drivers license. The Canadian immigration guy hassled him and gave him a lecture about how he is required to have a birth certificate with him. Then we had to vouch that he is known to us. Can they both get certified copies of their birth certificates to take with them? BUT, on another note. We have not traveled to Canada with any children in our car, but we have been to Victoria by boat a couple times. What slows everybody down getting off the boat is people with children. They are making very sure that the children belong to the people they are with and that if the children are with a non-custodial parent, that they have permission from the other parent to be out of the country. You might want to see if you can research whether you should send a letter of permission along with your son. If your son and your husband both have the same last name, it probably will go easier for them. And it may just be a breeze at any rate. In my experience, going to Canada several times a year, the only thing for certain in crossing the Canadian border is it is going to be something different every time, coming and going.

Karuuna, I found two websites that address your question. http://www.bcpassport.com/vital/border.html http://www.themilepost.com/border.html There are probably others. I googled immigration children border crossing. So it looks like you DO need to send a letter along. I think I'd get it notarized just to be on the safe side.

Anyone else still use dinosaur dial-up? I use MSN dial-up, but I keep seeing these ads for People PC Online. It's about half the price of MSN. Just wondering if it is half the quality too... Does anyone use it, and if so, how do you like it?

CAR QUESTION: When your car won't start--it won't do anything, no noise at all when you put the key in and turn it and yet the lights in it work, is there any typical problem? I would jump it, but if the lights work, then I think the battery is okay. Any suggestions?

Julieboo, sounds like a bad starter. Carrie, I have dialup. Got pay Juno, which I have had for years, since the days when it was only e-mail and was totally free. I also have free Earthlink for six months as a result of buying a new computer. Netzero and Juno, which are now the same company but they retain the two brand names, both have $9.95 unlimited monthly dialup. They both work just fine. If you are going to have dialup, I see no reason to pay $20 a month, when you can get perfectly fine service for $10 a month. If you would like a Juno referral, send me an e-mail at the address in my profile.

Thanks you all for the information. Looks like I'll need to talk to my ex about this. I'm sure he'll just be mad at me for sticking my nose in things. Yet again. But better to deal with that than have them drive 2 days to get there and get stuck at the border.

Julie, If the lights are really bright then you probably have a starter / electrical problem.
