Does anyone know how to block numbers on your cellphone so that certain people can't call you?

Depends on your cell phone Hypermom. On my old phone I went to settings/security/restrict numbers. My new phone doesn't have that. That I can figure out yet. Just got it today.

Thanks Serate. She was able to do it on her old phone, but doesn't know how to on her new one... a Voyager, I think. I'll tell her to go to Verizon and have them help her.

Julie I just asked the kidlets (they're usually up on stuff like that but Caleb's never been interested in cars) and they don't know.

Oh geez, Scooter, spring break...it's all messed up. I've been meaning to gripe about it actually. They started Monday, have two weeks off and then go back for a few weeks. Then they get the Friday before and Monday after Easter off. Stupidest thing ever...I've never seen spring break happen weeks before Easter.

Oh that's short for us, Scoot. When the kids were on year round, they had four weeks for spring break cuz that was one of our months off (also between Thanksgiving and New Years...six weeks.) We're now on a modified traditional calendar and up til this year the kids have had 3 weeks off for spring break (and 3 for winter) but only 9 weeks for summer vacation. I don't know what they're doing this year, 2 weeks now, then a 4 day weekend over Easter.

Thanks WG! I even called ToysRUs and they never heard of it either. Maybe I dreamed it! (Or should invent it and make a lotta dough!)

While I am here, anyone know where the best deal is for a nintendo DS? TIA!

http://search.toywiz.com/search.php search for Tracksters, they are a couple bucks cheaper here.

Though I haven't check out what shipping would be any site so it would depend on shipping.

My niece is online asking me for help. Her 2 1/2 year old has a tummy ache. A hurting kind of tummy ache, not a pukey kind. NO fever, nothing else seems to be wrong but Skarlett keeps saying over and over, "Mommy I's be sick maybe. Mommy I's tummy hurts." Niece wants to know if it's ok to give her baby tylenol because that's all she has. My first thought is no, not for a tummy ache. But I don't want to tell her no if it's something that will help.

So will baby tylenol be ok to give for a tummy ache?

My instincts say no to tylenol for a stomach ache, but I did find online that it's o.k. to do that if they're in pain. With little kidlets, stomach aches are usually related to needing to poop or some food isn't sitting right. She should probably call her pediatrician.

Yep, sounds like she has an intestinal tummy ache. Ask her to feel her baby's tummy for a hard spot. If her tummy is hard, she is bound up and probably needs a suppository.

When was the last time she pooped? I would give her apple juice and see if that helps. Meanwhile, have her lay across your niece's lap on her stomach (head off one side, legs the other). Have your neice rub her back while she does this.

I hope Skarlett feels better soon. How long has this been going on? I don't want to overreact but a trip to the doctor might be a good idea just to check.

Thanks everybody. First question I asked Lisa was when the last time Skarlett had pooped. This morning, and it was a normal one. She said her tummy wasn't tight. I mentioned at least calling the doctor but Lisa is on a kick of no meds. [She just found out a friend has her 9 year old on Clonidine, Ritalin, and Zoloft and is while I agree the 3 meds mixed above was scary, some meds are ok and needed, and that just a call to the doctor didn't mean alot of drugs were going to be prescribed, and even if the doctor prescribed meds Lisa could question the heck outta them before giving them to Skarlett.] Jimmer the hurting tummy just started earlier today. Finally I told her that I guess if she wanted to give her some Tylenol it probably woulnd't hurt her, but I'd feel better if she at least called a doctor or nurse first. She's supposed to call me later.

Thanks again.

Can little kids take pepto-bismal? Maybe she has gas.

NEW Question: Anyone know anything about Long-Term Care Insurance? My company is offering this and I am trying to decide if I should get it. Due to my age the maximum I would pay is $150 a month (for the most coverage), and it looks like a good package. I have a love/hate relationship with insurances so wondered if anyone had any comments or thoughts about it.

Tell her to pick up some Sunsweet PlumSmart. That will fix her if she's blocked, and can't do any harm. Otherwise, I'd go for tylenol or kids immodium

Dipo, from what I've heard about that kind of insurance it can be a crap-shoot. You really need to investigate all the fine print.

I am sure your niece has resolved this already but I would give her the tylenol because a single dose can't hurt and will help with pain/discomfort and/or might have a placebo affect if nothing else. Then crawl into a warm bath with baby on her lap and soak while rubbing her belly. Hopefully all three things will act together and have her feeling better.
