War - you can get these at stores that specialize in ski wear. If you want it to just cover his neck, they are called neck gaiters or neck warmers.

Here is another one from REI (hope the link works this time). Seirus Hoodz $25.00 Item 725706 This highly versatile head-covering serves as a neck protector, hood or full balaclava, yet packs down to easily fit in a pocket. Long neck-gauntlet, drawstring hood and an interior mask with separate drawcord work together for a great fit Wear it loose around your neck, pull up hood to cover your head, or pull up interior mask and use with goggles for complete coverage Super soft Performance Fleece™ is warm against your skin, insulates even when wet and is quiet in windy conditions One size fits most link At the very least you have price comparisons now.

Oh, you guys are great! Thank you!!! We don't really have any stores that specialize in a lot of ski stuff, but the sporting goods store has a small section for snowboards, skis, and ski wear. I'll check them out first. If I can't find it there, most likely I'll have to order one.

Depends Vac. How many days are in the month, how many times the first payday falls on the first or last day, etc. Darren gets paid every other Friday...today being payday. So for December this year he'll get a check the 1st, 15th, and the 29th. He also got three paychecks in both March and June. Next year there's four months (Mar, June, Aug, and Nov) that he'll recieve three paychecks. Just depends on what date those Fridays (or whatever day of the week it is) falls on. If they come on or near the first of the month, and it's a long month, woo hoo more money, lol. I love those months. One paycheck goes to mortgage, groceries and gas, one to whatever else. Those months with three checks is like extra money (which is totally awesome when it happens in December!) Oh to answer the how many....this year he had 27 paydays, next year 28.

Ok, wargod that confuses me, if you get paid every two weeks and there are only 52 weeks in the year, how can you get so many paychecks?

It pretty much depends on what days fall when during a month, Dipo. This month there are five Fridays, the 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th. It's hard sometimes because like last month he got paid on the 3rd and 17th, and while it's still just two weeks to payday, it feels like it takes forever going from mid November to the begining of December.

Oops, I'll take back part of what I said, in 2007, he'll only have three months with the extra check.

Speaking from an HR POV....when we have biweekly payrolls...we take the annual salary and divide it by 26...I think occasionally there is 27, but generally not.

Yep, I was the payroll guru in IT and the county got paid biweekly and it was 26 with 27 in rare years.

that's correct about the number being 26 most years and 27 occasionally. but, you don't divide the salary by 27 that year. it is still based on 26. the 27th paycheck is the same amount as the other 26. being the asst finance director for local county government one of the things we have to do is make sure we do is cover that 27th pay period in our budget.

Through the years, I usually got paychecks twice a month (15th and last day), but there were a few jobs when it was every two weeks. I kind of liked that. Actually you're simply being paid for the two weeks up to the day you get your paycheck. Doesn't matter when it falls in the month. No one is getting more or less than they should. When I did get paid every two weeks, I'd still budget like I was getting twice monthly checks (which were a little smaller than if I actually got paid twice a month). Then the occasional third check I'd get in a month was a bonus. Those were good months!

Didn't I see someone talking about making a drink out of these ingredients a day or two ago on tv? Seems like Oprah didn't think to highly of it.

Julie, try Trader Joe's or some store like Henry's (not sure you have that, but..) I know Mother's out here has the psyllium husks.

OG, here is the full recipe: The Quick Magical Breakfast Blaster 2 servings, 136 calories per serving 1 scoop (1/3 cup) Soy protein (like Natire's plus Spiru-Tein) 1/2 tablespoon flaxseed oil 1/4 cup frozen blueberries 1/2 large ripe banana (or other fruits of your choice) 1/2 tablespoon apple juice concentrate or honey 1 teaspoon Psyillium seed husks Peel banana; break into chunks. Put all ingredients in a blender. Add 12 ounces of water and ice, as well as powdered vitamins. Cover, blend until fairly smooth. It is Dr. Oz's Breakfast drink. He was on Oprah the other day and talked about it. I can't remember if O liked it or not. I think she gave it neither thumbs up not thumbs down...
