castratton Thats probably true. But it still burns me when I see people starting an auction over retail price. Its one thing when people who are ignorant push the bidding above retail, but when the auction is starting out its the seller trying to pull a fast one. I...

castratton I know what you are saying. However there is still a part of me that wishes there was a way I could warn people. Some people are just to naive for their own good.

castratton I set a limit for myself too. But I also mean I've found the stuff cheaper on online retail sites not just stores you have to travel too.

castratton I've seen some good deals on rubber stamps on craigslist. I'm a scrapbooker so I am always checking out the arts and crafts section of craigslist and they always seem to have the good stamp sets on sale. And if the person lives close enough to pick up you...

castratton I hate when this happens. People sit there on the internet and buy batches of tickets to shows they no will sell out so that they can go and sell them on ebay for a profit. That really bothers me. Most things on ebay I'm fine with people trying to make a...

castratton I always figure in the shipping when I am bidding. Especially if it is an item I can go out and pick up in person at a store. I set an amount with shipping I would bid but still save. When it goes over that amount I go to the next auction. But I always look...

castratton Our sons have a lot in common. My son loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. I wish I had known that Dollar Tree had that stuff. How long ago was that. I'll have to stop by there occasionally to see the stuff they have. Dollar Tree is definitely one of the better...

castratton I do the same thing which is why I keep finding these stupid people who pay too much money. Sometimes its not even hard to find the items cheaper. Yesterday the first online store I compared something to was cheaper and all I did to find it was a google...

I thought this would be a great discussion to start and maybe we can get new ideas to bring into our projects or learn ways to spice up our old way of doing things. My most favorite scrapbooking product are glue dots. They...

castratton I've always liked brads for scrapbooking. Funnily enough my husbands name is Brad. Recently I've discovered memory makers shimmer brads. I love them. I ordered a bunch from Joann.com because they are on sale. If you like glittery things you should check them...

Ok I am a Mom of two boys and pretty much plan that any children I have after this will be all boys as well. My husband's family is mostly male. So I have to ask how many of you grown men consider your Mom a friend? What do you...

castratton I'm going to have to seriously disagree with you here. Friendship is not about sentiment and its not about extremes, in most cases. I already stated that relationships between sons and mothers and daughters and mothers are different. I wouldn't have a post if...

castratton You must have a very mature daughter. My son is 2 1/2 and I wouldn't dream of letting him bathe alone. I guess I'll wait to make that judgement till he is your daughters age. I don't know if you saw my other comment she not only left her 3 yr old alone in the...
