You can tell whoever you want and yes it would be good to let those who are getting guardianship know, especially if there is a chance they wouldn't be able - financially, physically, or emotionally - to care for your kids. But if you do not want others to know make sure you let those you tell know not to tell anybody.

I would definately tell them!! It's not like a secret early christmas gift... *SURPRISE, you are now a parent of multiple children!!* You need to make sure the people you pick actually want and are prepared to care for your children. Our wills are real simple affairs. If hubby dies I get 100%. I die, hubby gets 100%. If we die together our children get 100% divided equally. If we all die together then our neices and nephews get 100% divided equally. There are one or two sentimental items that will go to our perspective parents but that's it. I never understood how people leave money/property to siblings, etc when they have a living spouse who still needs to get through THEIR life. We also don't think money should go to independant adults when there are children but that's more of an individual choice.

I made a mistake on my tax return, agggg! It doesn't affect the refund amount (it's more an informational thing) but I've got to file an amended return. Once the refund is back in my account, does that mean they're processed my return and I can file the amendment? Or should I really forget about it for a month or two and amend then?

lol. I know that. I did let the recipient of the kids know. I actually asked if it was alright, first before I informed of our decision.

I don't think you can. From their Help Center: Can I download videos to watch later? No, currently you can't download our videos to your computer. YouTube's video player is designed to be used within your browser as an Internet experience. As an alternative to downloading, you can temporarily save videos to watch later by adding them to your QuickList. If you'd like to save them more permanently, login and click "Save to Favorites" under the videos you'd like to keep. http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?answer=56100&topic=10517

Twinkie it can be done, I just don't know how. I'll see if my brother will tell me how he does it - if he can explain it in English for me. The reason I know it can be done is I found a youtube that is pretty damning for my hubby's ex, so I had my brother save it to CD for me in case we ever go back to court. I must add here that my brother is a hack, and not everything he does is legal.

Twinkie, the instructions on how to do this can be found, ironically, in a youtube video. Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFgNmDT9caY You'll notice that there are other queries on that same page, so your dh can look through them and determine for himself which one is the easiest for him.

Help! I am having a hard time with something I thought would be easy. I am making this book for my son's teacher. I had the kids answer some questions on 8 1/2 x 11 paper. I really would like to mount their paper on a fancier scrapbook type paper and then put them in a page protector thing like this:
and then put it all in a three ring binder. BUT I can't find any page protectors larger than 8 1/2 x 11. I could go with a true scrapbook, I think they come in 12x12, but then the price goes way up. I'd rather not be spending $30+ on this. I was hoping to spend less than $10. Am I outta luck? I tried Office DePot and Office Max. Neither had any larger than 8 1/2 x 11. Any suggestions? THANKS!!!

Julie, could you trim the kids' pages down a bit? If you could trim an inch around the edges on them then you could still mount them on the sturdier paper and use the standard page protectors.

Wish I could! But some kids went edge to edge. Guess I could xerox them all at a reduced size...

Local art stores usually go bigger if you wouldn't mind a presentation book instead of a binder--see link, there is an 11 x 14. They will have black pages inside (not fancy, you'd have to replace them). This one is super cheap; not sure you could find it as cheap locally. If you have a local Kinko's, they will also have a large paper cutter if you need to trim and paste and other stuff geared toward making a cute scrapbook. Good luck! http://www.dickblick.com/zz152/51/

You can get legal sized sheet protectors at Staples.

Awesome ideas!! THANKS! I knew you guys would come up with some good options. ETA (I just called Staples and while they do have legal sized binders, they don't have any legal size page protectors! UGGH!)

NEW ?: WHAT IS A QUIET SNACK (or a snack that starts with the letter Q) THAT MY SON CAN BRING FOR HIS CLASS? They are doing something called alphabet countdown and each child has a letter and a day. If you had "D" then you could bring in donuts or any snack that starts with a "D." He got "Q." So far I can only think of fruit snacks. He is hoping I can come up with something more fun than that... THANKS!
