YoursTruly

Okay I caught wind of this show couple of Saturdays ago during a marathon and the show was addictive. These women are full of drama and I absolutely LOVE the show!!! I hear it is one of Bravo's highest rated Housewives and I can see why? Anyone out here indulge in guilty pleasure reality time and if so--who is your fav character?? I think Kim is hardly 29 and can't sing herself out of a bottle, Sheree is very masculine and NeNE--DRAMA!! The other two are "safe "characters-I hope it gets picked up another season.

I love Aldi's for the basic staple items and also sometime they get great deals on brand name items (Tide, Welch's, B-Ball, etc).

I have purchased juices, bread, eggs, milk, oil, seasonings, flour, chips, potatoes, some veggies , and you cant go wrong with that. I do save much more by getting things there than in the store. Love tht place. You will pay for your bags, which are reusable. Worth a tour!

I agree with lil frog. There is another saying "Once a Parent and twice A Child". That said, you recognize the source of your mom's tantrums and the reason for it so at times, this behavior can be overlooked. But it seems that your mom has the tendency to go overboard. At some point you need to simply put, reign in that behavior. Straight Talk comes for Straight Understanding--Do trust if you lovingly set mom straight and nudge her when she gets out of pocket, your relationship will hopefully become smoother. I wish you well.

Don't hate you but wish I had your problem!! In any event, please see a nutritionist to ensure you gain the healthy way. For starters, I would recommend putting whey protein in your milk products, incorporating pastas a few more times a week than usual and drinking 100% fruit juices with fruit mixed in for a blended combo.

I wish you well.

People do things sometimes that leave you speechless and grappling with the total insanity of it all. It will not be the end of the world at all as I too have uneven parties so just think for the ceremony that you can have folks already standing up there or single file march, etc. There are definitely doable options for managing this so try not to stress...I am curious what was his reasoning for canceling?

Thanks for the information. I would be curious to know if these are solid weight or the very light paper parasols. Please advise. Generally these things start at 50 bucks so for $3.50, I wouldlike to know if you havea pic or something you can send or elaborate on. Thx

It sounds as if your sister is miserable and unhappy with self and her life. Please recognize that and do not allow her to ruin time you want to spend with YOUR parents. She wants you to be frustrated so that you do not show and you are playing nicely to her shenanigans.

Go see your parents and ignore her. Be saccharingly sweet to her even though you could smack the ish out of her. That alone will set he straight as you can't give her too much power of even knowing she rattles you!

Good luck----in time it will blow over. Unfortunately we cant divorce our family.

Try BlueFly and 6pm.com

I really like the first dress!! You can also try Wedding Dresses, Prom Dresses and Designer Wedding Dresses for some prom dresses as well.

Michael does have updated prices for photography. So hopefully Montego bay he sent you the newest documents for 2009. If not, i can send info to you or any of the girls if you provide your email addy.

Thanks Indigi and Montego bay for all the info! Indigo, you really got a good price on your flowers. I will contact them for the tulle info.

I sent a correspondence to Tai Flora back in the beg of Octo and have YET to hear from them. I do have a PDF file of their Bouquet arrangements which is easier to view from the document than the website. If anyone wants a copy of this and info from Keneika (WC at RMB) let me know. I have a TON of info.

Hello,

I am assuming before renting you advised them of the equipment,lighting, technology needs before confirming. That said, I would imagine that the capacity is inclusive of your DJ equipment, tables and whatever else you discussed up front with the facility.

I think it looks great--shows your features more. But if you are very unhappy--would you be open to extensions for fullness? It will be back in no time--when you cut your hair it tends to grow back faster. I wish you well.

Indigo,

As stated prior--I wish you and hubby to be all the best and keep your fam in my prayers! Thanks for the information--verythoughtful of you.

I also wanted to add that as far as decos are concerned for the RIU to add the Tulle, it is $280 additional.

you can just send them an email with an idea of what you envision and one of the consultants will contact you for details and come back with samples and you go from there. go to their website and fill out a contact form.

Thanks for the information... Breezes sounds like a dream, however, booked already at RIU- MoBay!

Thanks again for the valuable update.

I would say you guys will be fine if you both have had recent physicals and complete blood tests. That should have given you an indication of where you are. If you know you don't have an STD or HIV, etc, no worries. Don't add stress to the mix. You will be fine!!

welcome to the forum----best decision in planning everything for your wedding needs

I htink it best to get everything together and have them weighed based on final product. mine cost 0.69 cents within the US and was a range of $1.69 to $2 for Canada and international invites. For those I could not put postage on the RSVPs however, since they could not calculate the postage for that here.

One More:

Ingredients:

1 1/2 lb. ground beef

1/3 cup finely chopped onion

1/3 cup dry bread crumbs

1 egg, beaten

1 can (10 3/4 ounces) Campbell's® Condensed Golden Mushroom Soup

1/2 cup sour cream

1/4 cup water

2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Directions:

In large bowl, thoroughly mix beef, onion, bread crumbs and egg. Shape into 1-inch meatballs; place on 15- by 10-inch baking pan.

Broil meatballs 4-inches from heat 5 minutes or until browned, turning halfway through cooking. Spoon off fat.

In 10-inch skillet, combine soup, sour cream, water and Worcestershire. Add meatballs. Over low heat, simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not boil. Garnish with parsley.

Wings are always a hit:

1 can (10 3/4 ounces) Campbell's® Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup

3/4 cup Pace® Thick & Chunky Salsa

2 tbsp. lime juice

Hot cooked chicken wings

Directions:

Mix the soup, salsa and lime juice in a 1 1/2-quart microwavable casserole. Microwave on HIGH for 2 1/2 minutes or until hot, stirring once.

Serve warm with the wings for dipping. Or use a BBQ sauce dip
