I don't know if this posted, so I'm trying again. My favorite coupon site for online stores is www.savings-center.com. I also use www.ebates.com for cashback and coupons. The best printable grocery coupon sites are smartsource.com and coupons.com. Hope this helps!

My children are all grown now, but we use to have Saturday family time. It might consist of everyone taking a room to clean and for two hours we ALL cleaned the house, then we could spend the afternoon on a shopping excursion, out on the boat, etc. Or we might ALL work on the yard - mowing, weeding, general stuff with the same result: shopping, boating, swimming. We also had Sunday after-dinner family game or movie, sometimes a problem because of age differences. I also found that the time spent with son #1 in the car going to basketball practice; daughter in the car going to band or play practices; son #2 going to football practices were the best one-on-one time. We talked about anything and everything, and it was just the two of us (other kids were at home or their own activities, and my husband worked until 8pm).

This is very interesting. At a quick glance, it seems overwhelming to try to incorporate the "musts" of each day into a meal plan of any kind. It could be helpful to show 1 week of menus that meet these guidelines. Of particular interest is 1/2 C of pumpkin each day.

Thank you.

I also include hairspray, hand sanitizer and a pair of knee-hi hose in my kit.

There have been numerous times where my little sewing kit has come in handy when a shirt or blouse has popped a button, or a seam rips.

I have known only one person with a messy desk, who actually knew where everything was. But, no one else could find it! The other many, many people with messy desks can not find a thing. Important papers are lost under mountains of junk. My desk is completely organized. I keep jobs I need to do piled in one pile, everything else is filed. If I need something, I can find it in less than 5 minutes as can anyone else who needs something when I am not at my desk. Messes are a huge stress factor, and you are just kidding yourself if you think they are not!

Enjoyed your tips. How about listening and looking out for emergency vehicles? See the light, move to the right. I had never heard "gaper delays". We use "spectator slow downs"

"I have eyes in the back of my head and I can see what you're doing!"--Used by my mother, and now myself on my kids and grandson. (By the way, the eyes are invisible to those determined to prove us wrong!)

"I birthed you and raised you for 18 years!" My invention, used to tease and manipulate my kids into guilt and doing what I ask. It doesn't work anymore (they are 30 and 34 years old), but it is still a fresh reminder that they 'owe me' for their good life and honorable character that everyone in their lives enjoy about them.

I ditto the comment from justchillin99 and want that answer. That is why I opened up the Ask the Expert side of this - difficult co worker situation.

It seems like when the problem lies with the management - or the one "in control" of your job status - That one can be as difficult as they want and you are only at the mercy of them and they decisions.

I seriously would like to know the proper stepsin resolving this "mystery " issue with her. I have asked for preformance reviews and asked to meeting to try and have open discussion, but I am totally ignored with my requests. AND my past skills I have are not being utilized as I was told. Basically I was to be an administrative secretary and given only a reception duty.

Answer the phone with a smile on your face, you can't help but sound happier! And no matter how badly someone is feeling on the other end, it always helps to hear a friendly voice. And LISTEN, LISTEN, LISTEN!
