My husband looks 12. LOL I'll have to show him this picture, he hasn't seen it yet. I wish he'd shave off that DAMN mustache, I hate it!!! Yes, that's me with the brown hair, I think it needs to be lightened. Thank you for the compliments.

Don't you have like 12 kids? I can't believe what a terrific figure you have. Congratulations, you make it all look so simple!! Beautiful photos, I'm glad you had a wonderful time. Oh, and don't change a thing - the brown hair looks marvelous on you.

12? No, no no, 2 and a bonus 16 year old. I have a squeezy body shaper thing on. Otherwise that dress would be a no go.

I don't know many 12 year olds with a big old moustache!! But I do agree he'd look "hotter" without the 'stashe and the baseball cap!! He'd "match" you better!!!

I didn't know where to put this. I need help from all my TVCH clubbers.... My son is up for a Golden Goggle which is like the Oscars for swimming. It's an online vote going on until Nov 16th. You can vote multiple times but you have to wait an hour. Anyway, my son, Andrew Gemmell is nominated for "Breakout Performer Award". I would love to tell him my TVCH'ers are helping the cause. Can you pass the word. Thanks for the support. http://swimfoundation.org/Page.aspx?pid=312 This ad is paid for by the committee to elect Andrew Gemmell for breakout Year Award

Yep, I have a Wii Fit. Drawbacks first: it's really a one player game, although several people can use it at the same time it's not really set up so you can easily play with family. When you start the thing you log in as you, and after you've completed a game for the next person to complete it you have to log out and they have to log in. It's frustrating and that's the main reason we haven't used ours as much as we would have done. Pros: there are some GREAT games on there! There's are two sections I don't use much - yoga and strength training - which put you in various poses and you have to hold the pose or do the exercise. They didn't work well for me, I'd rather do them unaided. But there are two other sections, one with balance games, one with cardio games. They are things like you stand on the board and move your balance left or right to head a football, move your hips/balance to hula hoop, pretend you're a marble and move your way through a maze, ski down a mountainside... The games are really good, but as I said, it's really not a game you'd play easily with others, so if you want something to do by yourself or have your child do by themself it's excellent, if you're thinking let's all gather round and play it might get annoying having to log in and out again. Also pet peeve for delicate folk like myself: you try really really hard at a game, think you've done well, then because your score doesn't meet what they think is good for the game, they show your icon thingy looking miserable. It's a real downer when you think you've done well!

Good luck, Dfng! I voted for him. There's also an "I Need Your Votes" thread where you might have some luck. Maybe a mod could help move your post?

Has anybody ever tried those solar powered stringed holiday LED lights for outdoors? Do they work and look as nice as the ads claim?

I haven't used the solar powered ones, but I only use LED lights now. Even without solar power (plugged into the grid) they are cost efficient. And the lights are really bright and twinkly!

See, the solar powered part is the part I am concerned about. I have a few solar LED garden lights and they really disappoint me. So I am wondering how a whole string of lights can work much better when a single one sorta stinks.

I think it really depends on the quality and how much daylight you get. My solar walk lights never worked well, but they couldn't get enough sun really. My solar power unit runs the electric fence around my entire 5 acre property. It faces south however, and gets sunlight almost every day.

I love Forensic files, Snapped and shows of that nature. Anyway, I have been wondering and keep forgetting to ask. Why is it that a life sentence doesn't mean your entire life? I always thought it did but apparently you have to get life without parole for it to mean life. I know it is a weird question but these sort of things bug me, LOL.

I just really don't know what thread to put this in, lol! Today I had to go over and clean my aunts house. Weird things came together today for us, though unfortunately not for aunts neighbors. The other day, bil got sick and couldn't go back to the girls softball games. Sis called and we let her borrow the truck, cuz she can't drive a stick (which is what they had at home.) We haven't been in a hurry to get it back so it's been sitting in front of the house (keep in mind, the house is on a very busy main street) since then. This morning she drove the truck to school, was supposed to bring it back but she forgot (and I totally forgot that I was supposed to drive her home) and for some reason when she got home, parked in the alley. The city has been repaving roads in the neighborhood and when I was there yesterday they had one street blocked off. I'd parked in the alley and it was a pain to turn my minivan away in the alley cuz I couldn't go the other way. When I went to clean, Darren went with me to save sis a trip and drive the truck home. As we got near, I told him to park out front and explained about the road work, he said oh no worries, they'll only have had it blocked yesterday (he was right) and so he parked in the alley. No clue at the time that either his decision or sis' to park in the alley would be a very very good thing! So, there I was cleaning the house, chatting with aunt. Sis, her girls and Kota were in the backyard. I vacuumed and just as I shut the vacuum off there was what I can describe only as an explosion. My first thought was...Kota, nieces, sis! Just as I ran through the house and into the backroom, sis was coming in the back door thinking a car had come through the front of the house. We turned and ran to the front and out the door and stopped short for a second. Aunt's neighbors car was sitting two houses down...in their yard, just totalled. Wheel knocked off, axle through the trunk, debris from the car scattered several houses. We stopped again and took stock of that, made sure the neighbor had not been in her car and was ok and then saw a truck on the sidewalk and the four cars in front of the neighbors had also been hit. Also another car speeding down the street. Old guy was getting out of the car with blood pouring down his face, but he didn't seem very hurt. I yanked my cellphone out and called 911...we're on X street between these two streets, several parked cars involved, man bleeding but not sure how badly he's hurt and really no idea what happened. Cops and paramedics show up and start talking to people. The old guy (he was in his 70's) had been driving, told the cops he wasn't drunk, on meds, hadn't fallen asleep, but wasn't sure what happened. He hit the neighbors car, then hit a car driving (that was the car that took off for some reason) and then hit four more parked cars...those had considerable damage but none as severe as the neighbors. As cops were doing their thing and paramedics doing theirs (they bandaged the guy but didn't take him to the hospital) sis notices the neighbor on the other side of aunt had had her car hit too, not much damage but he did knock off the side mirror (it was laying on the sidewalk!) After doing their thing, cops think the guy fell asleep, hit the first neighbors car and knocked off the mirror, slammed into the other neighbors car and shoved it down two houses into the yard, bounced off the car driving, then side swiped the four parked cars before he ended up on the sidewalk! Said he never hit his breaks which is why they think he fell asleep. I think we were very very lucky that both sis and Darren parked in the alley today! Aunts was the only house without a car parked in front of it today and every car for 6 houses that was parked got hit.
