How many of you purchase various products from TV? Are they worth it? If it doesn't work out do you return it to get your money back? Or does the item just sit there unused taking up space. I've ordered one thing that I can...

simplyshawn Sometimes if you wait a while you can get a lot of that stuff at the stores. I know several people who love those water globes. I should get some and try having plants in the house again. Maybe they would stay alive longer. I know a couple people who have...

I was reading an article and she planned her own birthday party. Has anyone planned their own birthday party before? I just thought that was odd, but it is my own opinion. I don't think I would ever plan my own party. If anything...

simplyshawn You should decide to plan a big party and just do it!!! Maybe you could do it for one of your friends if you didn't want to do it for yourself. But in the end does it really matter who it's for? It's just fun to get together.

simplyshawn I don't feel like I'm very good at planning parties either. It's not something I'm naturally good at but have planned several things for our kids at our house. I'll have to get better at that as they get older. I agree with you, you shouldn't plan your own...

simplyshawn That sounds like something I would maybe do...planning with my friends. I'm glad you had a great time. Things are always better when you're with people you enjoy.

simplyshawn It was a fun girls day out. Although next time we're going to have to allow more hours for the fun. And my friend did wear the hat and bowa the entire time we were out, it was so much fun. We're going to have a hoot with these pictures.

simplyshawn Getting something unexpected in the mail is always fun too. My mom did that for my sons birthday last month. I didn't even know it was on the way.

simplyshawn thanks for your input. Hopefully when you aren't able to sleep you've found something else to do besides watch infomercials. If you have a DVR you can catch up on shows you haven't seen. I can't wait to get one of those.

simplyshawn Thanks so much!!! I'm definately going to have to try those bags and see how great they are. As far as books, I try not to buy those new either. I love paperbackswap.com so that's where I go when I need another book. Not like I need another book to read,...

simplyshawn Thanks for sharing. I wouldn't count QVC either, but I do love that network they have lots of great things on there. My sister is always giving her husband a hard time and threatening him that she's going to get him a Sunggie too. (I'm sure he despises them)....

simplyshawn Thank you for mentioning water, that should be on everyone's list and I agree with you that when I'm really thirsty and on a hot day, an ice cold glass of water is best. ps-and state of mind has a lot to do with it too.

I don't think so. I think that's like giving someone a prescription for whatever and then they go home and keep doing the same habits that got them to this point. And they think a prescription is going to fix it all even though...

simplyshawn You make some good points! It is really frustrating that things happen because of the media and the assumptions of those who have a lot of pull. This is a complex thing, that's why I don't start these types of discussions normally, but you did get me to...

simplyshawn I do certainly understand your situation and from what you've said, you are responsible with your money and take care of things that need to be taken care of first. I commend you for what you are doing in taking care of your son and working to get things on...

simplyshawn Yes, what you described is very typical!!!! On my side the guys end of napping. For some reason they don't get into playing board games, or video games nor are they into sports. When they do wake up they end up talking tractors, farming,...

simplyshawn Well, I don't feel guilt not going to see family I just know I'm going to hear about it later. Which is what I'll have to put up with. I know without a doubt I'll have more fun with our friends.
