Sometimes on my lap, sometimes sitting next to me and supported on the other side by a fellow classmate, etc. There are ways. It is not rocket science... I only had one kid that couldn't be taken out of their chair for medicatl reason, so the whole class grouped about the student in the chair so the child was at the center. Again, not rocket science. Rooney1, I like the way you think. Not only are you a special education ... Continue Reading In Viewpoints 1371575496.237 Loved hearing everyone last night and they are all very talented. Could have done without Usher's comments about the BeeGees with regard to the Swon Brothers. Also could have done without Adam's remark about Danielle being the winner. Anyhow, I suspect that Adam may be correct, although she is definitely a 'country' singer. The Swon Brothers are more versatile and can sing more than just country, which they have proven and I like the diversity of that. Michelle did a very good job with the Annie Lenox song, but she would be my last pick. Looking forward to seeing the finale tonight. I rea...

This photograph is not acceptable IMO. Continue Reading In Viewpoints 1371423446.977 I am not up to date on the whole story; however, it sounds to me as if your husband's brother is in contempt of the court order. I am guessing you have an attorney and would think he/she could help get something moving since the court ordered it. To answer your question about real estate contracts, we found it to be the standard 'boiler plate' when we listed ours, unless you decide to negotiate certain items, such as their commission or term of the contract, i.e. 3, 6, 9 months, etc. In our area, the most common term once you sign is for a 6 month period of time. If the house hasn't been s...

We've been to Yellowstone, and the Tetons a few times. Actually, would love to live in that area. Continue Reading In Viewpoints 1371318783.197 Good luck with selling them. I had a collection of Cherished Teddies (probably over 250 of them) and tried selling them when we moved as I didn't want to keep all of them. I had all of the original boxes and paperwork for each of them. I checked ebay and most didn't bring more than between $5-8 a piece. For me, it wasn't worth the time of listing each of them to try to sell. I ended up keeping a few favorites and taking the rest to a place where they sell antiques/collectibles. Even they didn't want them because they were flooded with people trying to sell them. Eventually, I donated some... Continue Reading In Viewpoints 1371318447.24 We just sold our house last January and moved into another. We listed in our contract what items were staying, i.e. curtains/window treatments, etc. Also, what, if any appliances were to be left. We had a lot of 'stuff' which we didn't want to move to our new home. Our realtors told us that we couldn't just "leave" unwanted things that we didn't want or the buyers could make us have those things removed once they did the final "walk through" before settlement. We contacted an auctioneer that we've known and gone through for a few times and made arrangements for him to come and pick up thos... Continue Reading In For the Home Talk 1371306388.18 Thanks everyone for your responses. I am currently looking on Country curtains website and they do have some beautiful ones. Someone mentioned, I think it was the poster 'i've been framed' about finding fabric and having them made. I do have a friend who sews and will be talking with her to see if she might be interested in doing the project. That never even crossed my mind. Just wanted to come back and say thank you to all of you for your help. Continue Reading In Beauty Banter 1371220753.22 My vote would be definitely the Garden of the Gods near Colorado Springs. It is simply breathtaking, so be sure to take your camera. I wouldn't schedule anything else for that day. Also, highly recommend the Seven Falls in the same area as well as the Manitou Cliff Dwellings. I would also schedule a full day for each of these. Last, but not least is Pike's Peak and the Cog railway. If you ever get a chance, you might want to visit Durango, Colorado as well. They have a steam train that runs to Silverton that is an awesome experience. Enjoy your trip and be safe! Continue Reading In Viewpoints 1371153460.09 We just moved recently and the previous owner took the refrigerator, washer and dryer. When we sold ours, we left all of the appliances in order to sell, including the hot tub which was on reserve. The buyers would not buy the house unless we left the hot tub. Continue Reading
