I'm a little confused, Kitt. Are you asking about a bank that he can open a checking account and send money directly out of to pay his bills in Canada/U.S.; like maybe his mortgage, credit cards, etc.? My credit union has online stuff that lets you set up monthly payments or pay a bill online then they send out the check/money. Is that what you mean?

Chilli, we need to pay his salary into a US bank account, so he will be opening a bank account here but will want to regularly send money from that account to China, which is where he will be working for a year. He is a Canadian national, so I think he might still have a Canadian bank account, which is why Jan's answer might work. I originally assumed he'd be able to wire the money, but although most banks offer online wire transfers for business customers, for personal bank accounts they seem to insist the person come in in person, which he won't be able to do, as he'll be in China.

I'm assuming that a regular old debit card is out of the question here. What about PayPal?

Sandra, you might try posting it to the New parents to be thread. It's been a long time since I've bought a car seat and I'm not sure what alls out there now. The newer parents posting there will probably have a better idea.

Sandra, sorry I didn't see your original question and it has been a long time since I had a baby car seat. I found this consumer comparison site for you: onsumer Reports

Hi Sandra, also be sure to check the laws on the state that the baby will be residing in, as different states have different laws, so you may want to incorporate that thinking into you decision

And there was just something on TV very recently, it was just on our local news, I think (Los Angeles) and they mentioned that many car seats which are also used for babies for napping inside and such.. that you have to be very careful that the proper angle is maintained both when the carseat is installed in the car AND when it is taken elsewhere because otherwise the baby's airway can be compressed. Not that I've ever had a carseat myself.. I imagine that other thread is a good place to start.

There is a Kmart commercial that they are playing here a lot. There is a lady talking on a phone while her husband is watching TV in the background. Here is what the lady says into the phone: The new TV. He's watching it right now. He loves it. He doesn't have any. My dumb question: Why dos she say that last line? "He doesn't have any." That doesn't make sense to me...

Can someone tell me if Airborne really works to keep from getting colds? Hubby works in the public school system and brings home every germ the little critters have and I've had a cold for 2 months. Juat as I was getting over one cold and was well for about 3 days I got another one.

I've never used it, Twinkie, but I know many people who do and they all swear by it. It can't hurt to try it once.

Twinks, look at the ingredients in Airbourne and if you don't normally take most of them, then it seems like it would at least boost your immune system. I looked and it was a duplication for me. I did recently use Zicam for a few days and fended off what had seemed like it was going to be a cold. Anyway, lots of people swear by Airbourne!!

I swear by saline nasal spray. It's helped me fend off colds for 5 years, and it's a heck of a lot less expensive.

Thanks, Sea. I've taken every OTC cold remedy and nothing is working. I'm so tired of blowing my nose. Its very sore.

Thanks, Ophilias. Someone suggested that today for loosening up the blood scabs inside my nose but I never heard of it for fending off a cold. How could just salty water do that?

Twinkie, here is a link for a saline sinus rinse that my Dr. swears by since he had his sinus surgery. I bought a bunch of it but I didn't notice it helped me much. Also, found out my headaches weren't really sinus but haven't tried it for a cold yet. It comes in individual packets that you mix in water and the ingredients are USP Grade Sodium Chloride and Sodium Bicarbonate. Isn't that just salt and soda? Anyway, I'd be happy to send you some packets if you'd like to try it. http://www.neilmed.com/

i know my ENT swears by saline solution used twice daily everyday. he said if people were to wash out their sinuses like they do their mouth and every other part of their body he wouldn't have near the volume of patients he has now.

Twinkie, you must keep your nasal passages moist, which is hard to do in the wintertime. Before I go to bed at night I use Ayr nasal gel on a Qtip to moisten my nostrils. During the night as I feel that awful dryness come on, I use my saline spray. I like 4Way Saline spray. It has eucalypotol and menthol, plus glycerin to help with the moisturizing.

Last year Kota was constantly getting sick. Sinus infections with ear infections or sinus not quite infections with ear infections. She'd just get over one and start the next one. Also has allergies and asthma. Our ped kept saying once we find the right combo of meds this will stop. It took months and months to get the right combon (allergy pills are hard, they either made her a walking zombie or so wired she was awake half the night.) We finally hit on an otc allergy pill, an otc saline solution that she uses once a day (the dr will put that up to two if she's been sick,) a prescription nasal spray she uses as needed, plus her neb if she's having problems with her breathing. Ever since finding a good combination of meds for her, not one sinus infection and the only ear infections happened early this summer when she started spending a lot of time on the water slide (ear plugs helped with that.) She just got over the nasty cold and she still has those days I want to hold her down and use one of those snot sucker things you use on babies but the pills and nasal sprays have definitely cut down on the sinus and ear infections for her.
