rissa, my mom painted her house last year and just used that for the garage doors. they aren't vinyl, so i'm not sure about vinyl. maybe try to go to lowe's or wherever you'll buy the paint and ask there.

Only other symptoms are lathargic and he has cough. I am sure its just the flu but I didnt know the fever would last 2 days in a row. I know feeling crappy lasts that long though :-)

Pamy, when Abby had a fever recently, the doc said it could last up to a week or more. So don't get too freaked yet. (But it does freak me out if Ryan gets a fever cuz he has never really had one since he got ear tubes!! Like 9 years ago!! He has had one or two fevers since then, but they've never lasted more than 24 hrs.) Then when Abby got a fever that lasted a few days, I was worried...

That WOULD be the logical course of action, wouldn't it (although I am claiming jet lag)? <smacking head> LOL Thanks Beckie.

Kaiser puts out this handbook that I find really helpful. Here is a link to the online info.

https://members.kaiserpermanente.org/kpweb/healthency.do?hwid=fevr4

Here's a part in my hardcopy that I found might be useful.

When to Call Kaiser Permanente

For Adults and children 3 years and older

•Fever of 104° or higher that not go down after 2 hours of home treatment.

•Persistent fever. Many viral illnesses cause fever of 102° or higher for a day or 2.

Call if the fever stays high:

• 102° or higher for 2 full days.

• 101° or higher for 3 full days.

• 100° or higher for 4 full days.

I still agree with you and all that a call to the Dr. in am would be good. Keeping hydrated is also very important.

101 isn't really that high for a preteen. Our pediatrican's rule was 3 days for most any symptom.

I know I've said this somewhere already Pamy (to someone else) but, strep is going around or so the kids dr told me. And other than fever one night, coughing (and then gagging/vomiting,) Dakota's complaints about her ear and throat were pretty minimal. She was feeling pretty fine, to the point that I almost cancelled the follow up appt Thursday when they found the strep throat! She was sick sick Monday night and Tuesday the dr noted her throat was still a little irritated, she never was what I think of as strep sick. It was very sneaky.

Hey everyone! Back in the beginning of March I posted the story of my grandchild here and promised that I would post pictures in my folder that Juju made for me.

Well I finally did it. I'm sorry it took so long but I've been sick (go figure). I must warn everyone that I posted quite a few, but Alyssa's story through pictures is now in my folder.

Was Sunday, the 5th supposed to be the real daylight savings change over? Both of my VCRs changed their time on Sunday. I caught one of them but only noticed the other today. It was weird.

I think so, Dipo. I had to reset a whole bunch of stuff at work this morning, too.

I'm thinking of signing up for Amazon Prime shipping at $79. ( I do buy from Amazon.) Has anyone else used it? Truly two day shipping? Happy with it? I found a site with these comments, but thought I'd ask here.

Depends on how much shopping you do on Amazon. I only buy around 6 things a year from them, so definitely not worth it for me.

Amazon offered a free month's trial of the prime shipping. I signed up for that last year only because I needed a few items really quickly. I did cancel the service within that month though because I don't order from there that frequently. When I do, I usually mostly buy or books, cds or dvds. If you order at least $25.00 worth, you get "free super-savers" shipping. The items usually take about a week to come...but I can wait when it's free!

On a side note, I also like Amazon's Visa credit card. When you sign up for it you get $30.00 off on your first purchase using it on there. Then when you continue to use your card you get a $25 gift certificate when you spend so much. I forget right now what that amount is. It's kind of nice if you like books, dvds or music a lot. I was able to get the new U2 box set "free" not long ago with my gift certificate balance. :-)

I don't have the prime, but I do have the credit card and always plan ahead enough to use the free super saver shipping. (you don't need their credit card for that, but I got it because of the $ they give you when you open the credit card accoutn.) It says 7-10 business days but we almost always get the order in 2-4 days. If I don't have enough in the cart to make the $25 to get the free shipping, I find something else to buy as a future gift for someone.

My son has had Amazon Prime for a few years now, and he put me on as a second user. It's great! Yes, it is two-day shipping (except weekends and holidays), but it's only on stuff sold directly by Amazon (not stuff sold through Amazon by someone else). We do almost all of our shopping online, and it's been great for us (especially for me, since I don't have to pay for it! :-)).

I order from Amazon -- mostly DVDs and some books and at times whatever else. I use Super Saver shipping. But sometimes that takes a good while -- more than it should.

"Please note that your order may take an additional 3 to 5 business days to ship out from our fulfillment center(s). Transit time for Super Saver Shipping orders is 5 to 9 business days after shipping."

Often enough seems to take more than 3 - 5 days to be shipped. So, Merrysea, with Prime do you always get what you order two business days after ordering, especially if you order early in the day? Does Amazon shipping preparation time come into play with Prime?

Other than weekends and holidays, I don't recall it ever taking longer than two days for me to receive Prime items.

Thanks, Merrysea. I'll think about it a little more, but I'll probably sign up for it.

I've noticed that about Amazon super saving shipping lately too, it doesn't take any longer to ship but it takes a few days before it's actually shipped out these days. I think that might be so people choose the priced options.

Another reason for possibly getting Prime . . . I am addicted to Borders. (I think our local Borders, Oak Brook, IL, is the biggest Borders.) I belong to their Rewards program. They e-mail me a "good" coupon (30% or more) and I have to use it. Well, lately not gettin' much in the way of good coupons. Don't like that. It will send me to Amazon for books. And so I want the book(s) ASAP = Prime shipping.

Feeling neglected by Amazon now. LOL I order from them all the time and never heard of this Prime shipping. Perhaps it's just .com and not .ca? Will have to go check. Wouldn't get it anyway, we sit down as a family and make a list of books, etc that we are all looking for and order in clumps that add up to the super saving $ amount so that shipping is free. Never had to wait more than 4/5 working days and never had anything I just HAD TO HAVE in less time.

CD, I love Borders too. Whenever we do a cross-border trip I start making lists. LOL I have found they have those hard-to-find books that Chapters/B&N never regularily stock.

A number of years ago, a B&N store opened one block from big Borders?!!!!!!! I never understood that -- two locations being so close. Just a few months ago, the B&N moved into a much larger space across the street from where they were, so still one block from Borders. I go into B&N occasionally, but I love my Borders . . . as long as they keep sending me "good" coupons. In any case, I love to browse in book stores. The whole world and everything in it can be in one book store. The book stores are only four miles from me.
