Card Shower help needed! Please!

16 years ago

I posted this the other day and a couple of the ladies sugessted I reword my message and maybe more would respond. I had trouble with the virus and couldn't get in without getting the message. Looks like it is finally resolved, yea!

Anyway, Some of you on facebook will have heard me ask for prayers for a young man named John. He made a life altering decision and is dealing with the consequences. He had a 16 hour reconstruction surgery last Monday in Philly and went home on Sat. He is in severe pain and becoming more depressed. We are trying to do little things to cheer him up.

John loves fishing, animals and anything to do with the outdoors. Would you be willing to send me a postcard or picture of your area? Silly pet pics would work too or jsut a card of encouragement! Anything to make him smile and to show him people care.

You can send me a message and I will send you my address.

Thanks and keep praying for John!

I need a recipe please! And Baby Shower Help
Q

Last 3 baby showers I went to played: Let each person pull a length of toilet paper off a roll, the one that's piece fits around mom-to-be the closest wins.2nd game, fill a bowl with uncooked plain white rice. Mix in several packages of loose safety pins. Hold the bowl over each persons head, they reach up and grab a handfull of rice and pins. The person who grabs the most safety pins wins. You need a 2nd person to be standing there with a bowl or styrofoam plate that the player can dump their handfull of rice and pins in and it can be counted before dumping back in the rice & pin bowl. It is a lot of fun when you can get male guests to play too. 3rd. game have a list of items used for baby, scramble words and see who is first to unscramble correctly all words. You can see I have been to baby showers with the past 6 months. Oh, nice suggestion, ask everybody to give a book instead of a card with gift. I found a baby cloth book at one of the craft shows I did for last baby. Mom-to-be really liked it.

Hi Kathy, I responded over in the bathroom forum of extending your ceramic tile around your room including your shower. But wanted to mention that if your husband is concerned about the porosity of travertine there are some new sealers on the market that are truly wonderful. You can have the travertine that you are using on the floor cut down to whatever size you would liek for the shower walls. How thick is the travertine that you would like to use on the shower walls? Below is a link of a sealer that I'm using on my marble and travertine shower. Works great; water beads up and rolls off. Here is a link that might be useful: Senguard sealer

need help soon please- shower squealing-
Q
Comments (4)
Remove the shower head and then turn on the shower valve. Many times the squealing is caused by a piece of debris that gets lodged in the shower head flow restrictor. If it still squeals, then it is probably in the shower valve itself. If it is a two handle, and it happens when only the hot water or only the cold water is turned on, then it could be a loose bibb washer on one or the other stems. If it is a single handle, you may have to replace the cartridge, depending on the brand valve you may have.

Lyban, those are great considerations. I have been group texting with the three women who will be co-hosting and we'll be doing a zoom meeting next week. It feels like a group effort so far, but it would be easy for me to want to do it all myself. I'll ask them to create a menu (I'll pay) and figure out decorations and anything else. Maybe one of them should be the RSVP contact? Arcy, you're right, this will be more than a shower, it's more like a , I don't know what to call it! There is now a thing called a "babymoon" which, as i understand it is a trip for the parents right before the baby is born. So is this a Slumberpartymoon? At most, we will have 12 people. Probably less so I'm not too worried about my dd getting too many elephant-themed gifts.I If it was to be a huge gathering, I would probably do something less animal specific. As far as food goes, well, new, more accomodating me is willing to see what my co-hosts come up with. But Annie, your menu does sound delicious!
