Problem solved! We discovered it was the lights in the rooms. We discovered this because last week we had company, and they turned on the lights in our upstairs play room (and we rarely turn on the...
:) No, my son noticed it that it stunk in his room. He alerted me of it, so I naturally thought it was his laundry. Then a few days later my husband (who has a terrible sense of smell) smelled it...
We don't think that's it, but we'll check. We haven't changed out any of the lightbulbs or anything since we moved in, and we don't have issues in any other rooms except for those two. I think we...
I wonder if it's not the paint - they're the only two rooms in the house that smell and they're the only 2 rooms in the house that we've repainted... but it comes and goes with no real rhyme or...
We have a new construction home (built last summer), and for the last month or two we've been noticing a fishy smell in two upstairs bedrooms. We've gone through the bedrooms, looking to see if the...
My daughter is pretty much a beginner. She's been allowed to plunk around on the piano since she was a baby since I used to teach piano lessons myself (for a small while in college I was a piano...
I know Elaine Garcia, she's done some music work at VLA Theatre. But doesn't she teach in Killeen? I'll check out UMHB Conservatory, for some reason I had a massive brain fart and forgot that UMHB...
Does anyone know of any good piano teachers in the Temple/Belton/Salado area? Would prefer someone who belongs to a national federation for music teachers and has a degree in music. If you have any...
Thanks for the info about Earthscapes. My parents are coming into town over spring break, and my mother is OCD about landscaping, so perhaps if I mention this to her, she'll foot the bill. :) I...
So I bought a bunch of bulbs in the fall with the intent to plant them in pots. The hubby "cleaned" out the garage but moved my gardening stuff and then I couldn't find the bulbs. We found them...
Gift cards are always a solid bet. The best gift card I ever got was a gift card to the local theater that included popcorn and drinks.
Great video, thanks for posting! I got into yoga this summer while on vacation, and while I'm not dropping that much weight, I love how it makes me feel. I just wish we had a greater variety of...
I did that last year with my daughter. She is usually a fairly easy-going kid, and she decided to have an epic, knock down, drag out fit right after school last Halloween. I mean slamming doors,...
And the other thing... why surrender them to strangers? As a parent (and granted, I have my daughter at the same school I teach at and know the faculty) I would make it my duty to know and meet and...
So... we are moving into our new home this weekend. I'm hoping within the next month or so to add a few trees to our yard (I grew up in a deep forest and having no trees makes me sad). I would like...
I love camping, but sadly, we haven't gone in 2 years. I have LOTS of favorite locations for camping, but none in Texas. All of my favorites involve campsites that are waterfront, like San Onofre...
There is a very, very slight slope to the yard. Our front yard is much more sloped, but that gets sodded as part of our deal. Once we move in (hopefully right before school starts or shortly...
Thanks for the info boys! We are going to try and wait to sod until October, but having just a backyard of dirt for 2 months is going to be a challenge. I tried to convince my husband that the best...
Does anyone know of a place where I can buy sod? We decided not to pay the insane amount our homebuilders were telling us it would cost to sod our backyard, so I decided I'm going to sod it myself. ...
What ever happened to "you get what you get, and you don't throw a fit." :)
Although I admit that I peeked with both of mine, and I would have been happy no matter what the sex of the baby. ...
As a H.S. student I brought an article from Time magazine to my mother, and it was about ADD/ADHD. I took the article to her, laid it on the counter and said, "Mom, this is me." All the way through...
I totally agree that bad parenting is certainly out there. And it's even harder to be a "good parent" when you have so many sucky parents out there! I was dubbed a "bad parent" at the mall about a...
I'm going to agree and disagree. We certainly do have a bad parenting epidemic. I wish there was some way to enforce a parenting license, and you have to earn it before you can raise children. But...
[QUOTE=Ludwig;213572]If you are the male in this fight, you already have one hand tied behind your back. You better get all the horsepower you can afford. If you're the female, any scheister will do....
I can tell you who NOT to go to. DO NOT use Keiko Griffin. A friend of mine used her for her divorce lawyer, and has had an absolute nightmare of a time with her. She has double charged her for...
Sadly, I couldn't nurse, and my boobs STILL were less attractive. Bummer. :)
I have a few friends who are still nursing their 3-4-5 year olds. I don't have an issue with it as long as I don't have to see it. I'm totally cool with moms whipping it out for their infant, but...
Does anyone around here use the Isagenix program?? I have a few friends who have used it, and rave about it, but I want to hear from other people too... I need to lose weight, and apparently...
Not sure if I should post this in Lawn and Gardening or DIY Home stuff, considering the outdoors is bringing itself into my house! :)
We have found 2 baby snakes in two days in my house. We...
I asked this because the father of the child requested a meeting with me (the teacher). I was just going over possible scenarios in my head of what his reaction might be. I met with him today, and...
Situation: You are a father who has just received custody of your 6-year old daughter "Jade", whom you haven't been around daily since she was 18 months old. Your ex-wife decided that Jade was too...
Thanks for all the input. We have made our decision that we are going to build a new home and upgrade the insulation. The house that we currently live in is turning into a pile, and there's no way...
Our situation isn't normal - we neither rent nor own and those who own the house aren't willing or able to put new windows in. We would basically have to pay for any upgrades to the house, but we're...
My husband and I are trying to figure out our finances to see if we can afford to buy a home this spring/summer. If you've built a home recently (within the last 5 years), what was your average...
Has your friend had kids? I've never had any allergies to anything, and right after I had my daughter I had a terrible reaction to the detergent they used at the hospital. It's been 4 1/2 years...
I agree with moore254. I also will never go back to regular Swedish massages. I get massages to relax, but I want to feel like I've been worked on. I love that feeling when the therapist is...
We stayed at the Ihilani. Incredible... It was the best 6 days I've ever spent. I still have the exfoliating soap they put out in the bathrooms. I can't wait to go back!
Hubby and I went in '06... we followed the advice of my sister-in-law who had just been there on her honeymoon. We were told to avoid Honolulu proper. For the most part, we did. We stayed at the...
In a moment of desperation and migraine due to severe neck and shoulder tension, I went to one of those chair massage places at the mall. I got this tiny little lady who seriously beat me up. She...
I had one in Hawaii, and I thought I would have enjoyed it more than I did. Believe it or not, on the lovely 85 degree day I got a little chilly because there was a good wind kicking up, and the...
For me, it honestly depends on the oil. I have a very sensitive sniffer, and I learned my lesson once before. I have to smell the oil beforehand. I went to a massage once (when I was new to...
Having worked at a day spa, I became slightly addicted to massage. I look for a spa that isn't overly tacky and smells nice. One of the spas I went to locally stunk like cigarettes and nasty man...
Do you get to visit Dachau?? Not to sound creepy or morbid, but I've visited there twice, and it was probably the most hauntingly peaceful place I've ever been. I am so jealous that you get to do a...
I'll have to do that. I need to get back into it so badly!
Thanks - I checked the website and the classes are offered on the two days I can't go, and a little too late. The joy of living in Temple and working in Killeen. Sigh... :)
Does anyone know if there are any yoga classes in the Killeen/Temple area that aren't affliated with a gym?? I need to get back into yoga, but I can't seem to find any classes that don't meet during...
So I'm a newbie to the public school scene, but have taught for 4 years prior in the parochial school system. I was recently hired as a K teacher, and I have 2 years experience teaching K, and my...
