Wow, I felt lucky when I got a whole dollar an hour to babysit! I felt rich when I came home with 5$ once. Of course, that was in the 70's.

Does this happen to anybody else? During the night while you are sleeping, you somehow turn over onto you back, with one arm sort of hyper extended outward over the edge of the bed. When you wake up, your arm is at first frozen in the extended position, and you end up with a sore elbow for a couple of days? This has happened to me twice this month and it's getting really irritating.

No Naja the only thing that has happened to me is that I slept on my arm and when I got up in the morning it felt like I broke my arm and it hurt for a little while.

Do I need a referral from a dentist before I take a kid to the orthodontist?

I remember babysitting about 10 years ago and the lady tried to pay me $2 per hour. I said "Um, no it's 8 per hour" and she said "well I was paid $2 per hour when I babysat."

Ok, that was 20 years ago lady....I didn't babysit for her again, even though she asked me all the time!

Escapee, I think it depends on if you have dental insurance or not. If you do, they may require a referral.

Anyone know the difference between the DVD + Blu Ray and the Blu Ray + DVD. Notice the difference in the 2 pictures of the set. One in each link.

http://www.disneydreaming.com/2009/09/29/disneys-snow-white-and-the-seven-dwarfs-diamond-edition-blu-ray-combo-pack/

This one is DVD + Blu Ray and has Snow White on cover

http://www.amazon.com/White-Dwarfs-Two-Disc-Blu-ray-packaging/dp/B001V9LPWQ

Whereas this one is Blu Ray + DVD and features witch on cover.

They are the same price. One number off. Don't get it. TIA!

There was a post somewhere on this site that I would like to recall, but cannot find (damn CSR).
It was a woman on a British talent show that "painted" in sand on a huge light box. Can someone point me please?
TIA

This may be one of the dumbest questions ever asked here, lol, but I was just thinking about tomorrows dinner (chili in the crockpot) and remembered a dilema and thought I could get some of the awesome tvch minds to help out.

The girls (Dakota and my niece) have snack day on Halloween for their softball team. They have two games, 15 minutes apart, and snacks are between the two games. They've decided they want to take Halloween cupcakes and hot chocolate which sis and I thought was a pretty good idea.

Until I started to ponder the hot chocolate. Neither of us has a thermos, especially big enough for hot chocolate for 15 girls (plus a handful of siblings) and neither of us is going to buy one or some for one morning. I thought about just buying it from the snackbar but we're playing that weekend at the park that doesn't have the snackbar so that's no good. I thought about making it in the crockpot, which still seems like a good idea, except:

The park is a 20 minute drive from my house, 15 from sis', the games sometimes run over, and timing it can be tricky. By the time we get home and grab the crockpot and get back to the park and wait for the game to finish, it's most likely the hot chocolate will be cold.

I'd even be willing to drive somewhere and buy hot chocolate but there's no where near the park to get it from and I'd be better off going back to the crockpot.

Any other options? Is there a way to keep the hot chocolate hot in the crockpot for the 15-20 minute drive plus waiting for the game to end?

I really like the idea of taking hot chocolate, just not sure how to do it without it getting cold.

Think coffee. Many coffee carafes keep beverages piping hot for long periods of time. Other than that, I'd find a nearby McDonald's and get 'em there!

Coffee carafes! What an excellent idea! Like the plastic ones they have in IHOP? Got a big Goodwill there? Sometimes they have those insulated coffee carafes. I bet they would each hold about 6-8 cups of hot chocolate.

if the hot chocolate is nice and hot before you put it in the crockpot, it should keep until you can plug the crockpot back in.

Unfortunately, there's no where to plug the crockpot back in at this park. That was my thinking behind the crockpot, I know you can transport something and it'll stay warm, but the timing is so iffy. There is a time limit on the games, but if they're in the middle of an inning, the ump will keep it going til it's over.

This park is pretty much in the middle of nowhere. It is in a neighborhood, but no stores or fast food places anywhere near by. It's a pain in the neck when the girls have games an hour apart because you really don't have that much time to leave (the few times we have, we've run in the door at home for the kids to make a sandwhich that they have to eat in the car on the way back.)

The carafes is a good idea, especially checking out goodwill. About how long would those keep it warm?

You might still be ok with a crock pot. Make sure chocolate is very hot when you leave, put foil over the top of the crock pot, tape the lid on and put the whole thing in a box surrounded with crumpled newspapers, towels and or a heating pad for insulation and to keep the crock pot steady during travel. Put some over the lid as well to help retain the heat. Try making some this weekend to see if it will stay hot enough for your time frame.

Not a bad idea either Sugar. I have a smaller crockpot I can use to test it and Darren's either working this Saturday or next so he can run by home on his way to the game and pick it up.

Darren's got some buddies who do cold weather camping (totally insane if ya ask me but Darren and Caleb had a blast last year and our planning on it this year) and I'm going to have him ask around and see if any of them have something we might could use (carafes or thermoses.)

This would be so much easier though if we were at the other park (the one with the snack bar) Halloween weekend, lol. Then I could just go buy it!

Maybe your local Ihop or Denny's would loan you some carafes, for the girls' softball team and all. Maybe they would sell you the hot chocolate in the carafes and you could bring them back!

I bought carafes at Ross for a buck a piece for a baby shower a few months ago. They make great vases when you are done using them.
Oh, and you can also buy travel coffe mugs that plug into your cigarette lighter thingy in your car to stay warm. FWIW, you can buy an adapter for your car that plugs into your cigarette lighter that has outlets on it (I think Landi has one in her car). You could make margaritas while you drive, LOL.
