I have a myspace, but never have timme to do much with it, since i bought my restaurant....it is how i keep in touch with some family members now since I am working about 16 hrs a day, most of the time 7 days a week. I also have my own crafting board, but dont keep many ppl on it. I like to be able to keep up with that, and do manage to check it out about twice a day......it is slow right now anyway with summer here and now wwith ppl getting started on getting ready for back to school! Thanks for sharing I am anxious to go to etsy to see if I can find any cricut cartridges. I want to decorate my huge windows in the next couple of weeks with back to school theme

No more dust than my house!! I should be doing that than researching for a camera. I still like it. I really would like to have the 10x zoom for distance shots - hopefully to frame. But, there is the convenience feature. At that price though, I think it's a good price. And, for what I want now, it sounds good. I could always get another one at a good price for the indoor shots if I need to. That may be easier to find than to find the features in this Fuji, and at this price. Thanks so much for your help!! Guess I should go put up my outside Christmas decorations while the sun is shining. It's been cold and rainy with some snow so I haven't been able to do that. Enjoy your day!! gng

"If I could arrange the tables, I could plan for all of my friends to sit together and enjoy the afternoon." But you can't. All you can do is make trouble, get off to a terrible start with your future daughter-in-law and her family, make yourself look controlling and petty, and make your son miserable, because he will be caught in the middle. And over what? Tables? What is going to happen when you don't like their decisions about where they live or how they raise children? Reread lowspark's post, above. Is that what you want your daughter-in-law to think about you? I gather that although you are chipping in money, they are still the hosts, planning the party and making the arrangements. As we all wrote already, we understand your concerns, although I think you may be worrying too much that unassigned seating will result in all your guests having an "awful time" because they will be "forced" to sit with people they don't know. I don't like "open seating," but I don't have an "awful" time at such parties. I certainly wouldn't "leave early and regret coming in the first place" over such a little thing, and I don't think your dear friends and family, who want so much to share this wonderful occasion with you, will, either. "They are firm in their thinking." They aren't going to change their minds. So the only choice you have now is whether you will be gracious about it or whether you want to make trouble for your son. You can continue to argue about it, and then you can ruin the reception by complaining about the seating and making sure all your guests know that you understand they are having an "awful" time. Or you can forget about it, enjoy the day the same as you would any party where the hosts are doing something wrong, and focus on visiting with your family and friends, and on your son and his happiness. That is the most important gift you can give him. You have already given your request and your advice, based on your experience, but they are stubborn. And now we have given you our advice, based on our experience.

How sad; I'm sorry it happened to you. It's good to make a police report and for you to get a copy of it. If nothing else it gives you an official report you can send to creditors, etc. that the theft was documented, where, when, etc. Also, I would ask the pastor to make this theft known in the next Sunday sermon. This lets the rest of the congregation to be more vigilant and, hopefully, make the thief turn in the non-cash contents. Who knows, there may be others just like you who have had items stolen but who have kept silent.
