Dipo, it's not just mentioning google that is the problem. I think this explains it best (it is posted at the top of this thread): Most people know about various web related information sources, including Google. Please remember that people posting questions in this thread have decided to ask people at TVCH for some help and advice. They want your help. Please do not direct them to search Google (though you can provide helpful links from your own searches).

Kitt, that is really cool, the Google timeline. I have never noticed it before. But I don't use Google news much. Well, and now I am going to get in trouble for saying Google. Nah. I think as long as you don't get snotty about saying Google, you can mention it. Watch this ----> Here is a snotty Google See? It got banned. But you will notice above that all of my mentions of Google are sweet and innocuous and did not get banned.

LOL, got it. I do appreciate those who can google well, I usually have trouble finding what I want to know, but I am getting better.

There IS a bit of an art to it, I agree, Dipo. I think what Kitt did is really cool and very interesting to see the results graphically displayed like that.

Anyone know of a place that makes necklaces like this that would be under $48?
I found this at a site called kennebug boutique. Any idea of where I could get a discount coupon for this site? (The checkout area has a spot if you have one.)

Ok, I am at a complete loss over some crap that happened with my car and hopefully the great minds here can find some stuff for me, I've tried to no avail... I have a 2005 Ford Explorer. The sunvisor on the passenger side fell off, ok, not all the way off, but the stupid plastic peice that holds it in gave way. The drivers side is about to do the same thing. SO, the passenger side visor is just a-hanging there, can't move it up, can't move it down. I am one of those people who HATE to have ANYTHING wrong with my car. it' has to be perfect. ALSO, apparently whoever owned the car first, smoked and the cloth door panel (above the arm rest) has a burn in it (both sides). You could tell they tried to repair it, but the repair has given way and now there is an ugly hole there. HOWEVER, I cannot find replacement panels anywhere online. It's frustrating me so much. Anyone out there savvy about auto interior stuff? Let me know. I'd also love to find a walnut trim dash trim kit for cheap, but doubt that will happen either. HELP, anyone before I have to take it to the dealer and give them my first born to have this crap fixed.

Junk yard. I'm always surprised at what Darren and my bil can find at the junk yard.

Julieboo do a search on "dog tags" or "ID tags."

Oh, Spit, glad to see you post about that! Yeah, Julie, search for dog/id tags. If they're charging $48 on the website, I think that's a rip off. Get the dog/id tags, then go to Michaels and check out their row of beads. They have the little crystals just like that. And if they don't, they're super easy to make yourself and cost just a couple bucks.

The problem with the local junk yards is that they don't have anything this new onsight.

No luck there, either. It's like they just don't exist for my year of vehicle. I am afraid to even ASK the dealership about it!

I am having a problem finding any sites that have other shapes than the traditional dogtag shape. Any idea of google searching with this quest? (Other than ID tag necklace, ID tag jewelry, dog tag necklace, dog tag jewelry?)

Escapee I would take it in to a local mom & pop garage and see if they can help with suggestions. They frequent junk yards more often and may say "hey, I just saw one the other day." Or maybe an interior specialist place may be able to steer you in the right direction?

Julie, the little jewel looks like a swarovski crystal..I get those at the bead store for, seriously, like 10-12 cents a piece. Only reason I suggest Michael's is that they sometimes have packs that already have the little doohickey attached for the necklace. If they don't already have them made, they do have the straight pins that you just slip through, nip part of it off (they're long,) then bend it gently. I'm not explaining it well but I could do it in about thirty seconds flat it's that easy (ok, I also have a lot of practice, but it's still pretty easy.) You can even order online: crystal pins Escapee, I'd wondered if your car might be too new for junk yard finds. If you keep checking, you might get lucky. LOL, definitely avoid the dealer if you can!

Julie are you actually using these for safety purposes? Try searching Children's ID Tags. You sorta get more with that. I searched these last September when while at the local fair my BIL lost his 5 year old. He was actually missing for about 20 minutes and thankfully he was alright. Another blessing was that I had taken a bunch of pictures so there was no mistaking what he was wearing. Also the fact that when I found him the workers he was with would not release him to me, but did release him to my mom's boyfriend because I was able to show a picture of the two of them together on a ride.

LOL Spitfire, you just reminded me I need to find Caleb's school id card he needs to get into the dance! Thanks! Julie, I think, wants them for a necklace like the one above (btw, I think that's a really cute idea!) Julie, I think it depends on how fancy you wanna go with the dog tags. I'm pretty sure you can get them in gold or silver? but if you're not too picky, I know at petsmart they have a machine up front (at our store) where you can get different shapes and whatever you want printed on them for a few bucks. Dakota has a little heart shaped one somewhere around the house that she got a couple years ago from there.

Julieboo, here are the identical ones from that same company, but there is a coupon for 10% off. It says $16.00 each, but when I went through their checkout and added a second disc, the price came up to $48.00. Hey, at least it's 10% cheaper! http://www.findgift.com/gift-ideas/pid-144524/

Thanks Hukd! I'll email the co and see what they say. Thanks also War and Spit. No, this is not for real kid IDs, it's just something I want for me. I didn't even think of getting them made from a Petco or the like, but that is a cool and cheap idea!!!

Hehe, I'm a pro at cheap. Julie, if you decide to do it yourself and can't find the crystals/pins, let me know. I've probably got the stuff to do those here, in fact, I know I've got the crystals and pins cuz I remember putting them in my beading box.

Cute idea for you, Julie! I've heard that having your kid wear their own name where anyone can see it is actually not such a good idea since predators will surprise the kid by knowing his/her name and that just might convince the kid that the "story" they use is true. Kinda sad..

I got the impression Julie was going to wear them herself. Walmart also has an ID machine that might have different shaped tags.
