I'm getting ready for my trip to San Diego in April and am looking for a hotel. Has anyone ever used Priceline.com and, if so, how was your experience?

I've found the best prices at etours.com. On everything. Flights, hotels, car rentals.

I have used Priceline many times and never had a bad experience with it. You know to go to www.biddingfortravel.com first to find out how much you should bid?

I believe Schoolmarm has also used Priceline a lot.

I take that back. I bid on a three star in Eugene, OR and got a room that wasn't even two star. One queen bed and pretty darned ratty.

Generally you will be fine with a 2.5 star or higher, and a 2 star can even be just fine.

I used (and still do) sleep walk, where I was asleep, but I was aware of my surroundings. I just was unaware of time and I was completely disoriented. Mostly when I am over tired, I would get up out of bed still asleep, at one, two, three, or four in the morning, see my clock, read it as a completely different time than what it said, begin getting ready for work, which in my sleep, I thought I was late for, (still asleep during all of this), plug in my curling iron, start getting dressed, then wake up. I realize that it is whatever time, and crawl back in bed. It's not like I was just in a zombie like awake state, I am actually asleep and it feels like a dream, but I know it's not because I am actually doing these things.

I usually remember most of this, but I guess I did it last night, was carrying on a conversation with DH, looked out the window, said something to the dogs, started to open drawers when he finally ushered me back to bed. It scares me that I don't remember it.

hmmm, my son never did that! LOL my husband will talk in his sleep (he would trade bonds! LOL) and get really ticked when he would wake up to find me talking back to him.


Landi, all those bm probs seem to be totally gone. guess it was just mucus. thanks for asking.
she's gonna have to work on that snoring. ds hates snorers! (dd and dh snore and he gets so mad on trips when we are all sharing a room LOL)

I have only slept walk a couple of times, once I almost walked out the side door, and my brother caught me before I walked out.

I use to sleep walk when I was very young, I would go into the freezer and get ice cream out and then my mom would find dessert bowls of melted ice cream in the living room in the morning and couldn't figure out how they got there until she heard me lol She actually came down last night again and just sat in the living room on the couch arm rest and then dh took her back to bed after she had something to drink. I know that she won't remember this morning when we tease her about it lol

Escapee, my dd does the same thing you do, however we are awake when she comes down so we tell her that it is still night and she has to go back to bed, we take our little zombie back to bed and tell her that she has to stay there and she does.

Dd just woke up and she doesn't remember sleep walking last night. lol

I'm trying to decide what to do before talking to my hubby. One of his friends and former co-workers was found dead in his office Tuesday. Hubby wants to send flowers/plant for the funeral as it's in Nashville and we're 14 hours away and can't attend due to weather. I'd rather wait and see if there will be a memorial - I'm sure there will be for the kids 14, 6, & 5. We can't afford to do both. I'm sure there will be plenty of plants and flowers at the funeral. Even if there won't be, I'm more worried about the children. But before I bring this up to hubby - and I know his words will be that I'm just to practical and I know I am but.... - I just wanted some input from people here.

Serate speaking from experience, what really made an impression on my son (who was 13) were the personal letters written to him from his father's coworkers. One co-worker actually compiled a book of all his emails (my husband was hilarious and had a very sharp wit) over the past ten years. Another co-worker wrote my son a letter about all my husband had done to mentor him. They sent him a gift three months later just to say they were thinking of him.

I would encourage hubby to do what feels best to him, whatever he chooses.

I guess maybe I should have stated that Will was our friend and his former coworker. The three of us spent alot of time together when they both started as Will's family was a couple hours away and we were totally new to Kentucky. My husband will tell me to do what I think is right - after he tells me I'm too practical *L* - so I guess I was just wondering what would be right, or if there was a right or wrong?

I agree with Maris 100%.
the letters and gifts to my mother's charity meant so much more to me than plants/flowers.
i also agree, remember the family farther down the road. it's natural, but it's so hard to deal with the fact that after the funeral, everyone goes on with their lives and yours has changed forever.

Serate, I'm so sorry for your loss. I truly don't think there is a right or wrong when it comes to remembering and showing your condolences to the family. Just follow your heart and be there for them in the future.

New Question: What would you do?

A freelancer verbally agrees to do work for a client. Total of about $1000. It is agreed that payment will occur after work is completed.

A few more jobs are assigned.

Then a new job comes along that requires a computer program that the freelancer does not have. It will cost the freelancer $1000. Client agrees to pay $500 of it. Freelancer wants to know how much more work is guaranteed before money is spent. Client says at least $3000 of work will be forthcoming (though not issued yet). Freelancer buys program. Work is complete. $3000 is invoiced.

Problems at the printer occur. Font and printing issue. Printer has to fix problems.

A week later client calls off the rest of the work because they foud out the printer can do the work for cheaper.

The client also tells the freelancer that a check for $1000 is being cut. Freelancer states that the total is $3000. Client says the remainder will be mailed later.

Okay, now to the "What would you do" part. The freelancer has important paperwork that the client needs back. Should the freelancer "hold this paperwork hostage" until a check is received? Client said the $1000 check would arrive (well less than half the payment due) and even that check has not yet arrived.
