That's all I can find too Jmm and it's too late for that. LOL Costa.. that's my understanding, that the material melted and you can't *uncook* it. I was thinking that since I can't fix it anyway that I might try dying them black (they are black) and see if the dye sticks to the shiny enough to just dull it down a bit. The shiny is the size of the iron and very clear but luckily it is on the inseam so if she just shuffles everywhere with her knees rubbing together? :-)

Noellepv, when you say you are going into contract, does that mean that you have accepted an offer to purchase your condo, OR are you just now starting the negotiation with the potential buyer.

We don't do that with lawyers here in my state, so I am thinking that you may actually be at the legal documents stage. IF so, then you need to make sure that you are okay with all the costs on the HUD1 that are being charged to you, then sign all the papers and take the money and run.

IF you are in a different stage, let us know, we might have other helpful advice, LOL.

Does anyone remember the name of that laundry soap JuJu said got rid of fleas from your carpet? Thanks in advance!

Was it laundry soap or was it Borax?

20 Mule Team Borax, in the laundry section at the grocery store. It is a miracle product for ridding your house of fleas. Put it down on all the carpeted areas and rugs. Let sit for a while, vacuum up. Repeat maybe once a week until all fleas gone, then maybe once a month thereafter.

It is in a sort of light green box.

Friend at work got a letter inviting her son to "people to people"

I think I read about it here at TVCH before. I even think it was all positive responses.

Any ideas?

When my son was 15 (in fact, the day he turned 15!) he went to Australia and New Zealand for three weeks with People to People. It was a great experience for him!

I had a chance to travel to Moscow in high school through the People to people program. (This was the late 80s- early 90s.) I didn't go because of my father's job on Navy submarines + in the middle of the Cold War = a possible kidnapping threat. (As if I knew anything my father really did on his submarine.)

Heard lots of good things about them.

My kids all got invitations to go on People to People trips. They are very expensive. My nephew went to Australia when he was 11 or 12 with People to People. It was a good experience. I think maybe there was one part/one specific place where I was thinking that I wished there had been more supervision, but, I am not at all sure about that.

Has anyone here used a genealogy site on the web? If so, which one do you recommend and how was your experience with it?

TIA

Biloxi, dh says "there are many out there, some free, some not. I'm using the free version of http://www.myheritage.com/. It offers a lot seeing as it merged earlier this year with another company, combining the best of both companys. "Myheritage" offers a free offline version you can use and later upload to their free online version."

Heading out for weekend in a few so will just list a couple general interest sites that should act as a good starting point. If your countries of interest intersect with mine I can give you more specific suggestions when I get back, although I know others here also do genealogy and will probably jump in as well.

GenForum As the name implies, it's a forum, a massive one. Can find some great advice and direction here.

Family Search This is the site sponsored by the Mormom Church. Large amount of free database material available but beware of posted family trees (same advice for any site) because no guarantee they are accurate.

Rootsweb World Connect This site, like many others, started out as volunteer driven and was then taken over by the big pay-to-use sites. But, there is still plenty of free information as well.

Newspapers Online If you know the newspaper's name it is often easier to just google it but this site can direct you to regional/international papers that may have online databases (obituaries for example).

The above are all free, I won't suggest pay-for sites until I know your country(s) as most have very specific regional strengths.

Thank you Rissa. Right now I am starting in America. Sadly, there is very little family history recorded in my family. I would like to change that.

Does anybody do any shopping with Sears? I found some blinds I want, but I don't see any way to know if it's in stock at the local store. I only see how to order online. Am I just missing it? Most of the other major stores have a way of telling you if you can buy it at your local store.

Sears did me wrong twice in years past. I don't go there -- B&M or on-line.

Oh, I like Sears. Can't you just call your local store?

Thanks guys, the "call" is what I was trying avoid. Looks like I can't avoid it with Sears.

I think it's an item that's not in stores. I clicked on other items and they had an option to give them your zip code to see if it was in stock - your items didn't have that button. Still worth making that call though ;).

Odd question here. Anyone have any idea if there is anywhere online to see if a certain (cell) phone number is "taken" already?? I want to change my cell number to one that is easy to remember (for a variety of reasons). When I call my carrier (Tmobile) they give me like 4 choices each time. (They did give me a starting point with a few choices of the first three numbers after the area code.) Not sure there is any such place/site, just thought I'd ask.

Call the number you want. If someone answers, it's taken!
