Describe the page you like best in your book.
Comments (8)Hmmm..what a great question! I have several favourites..but I think that my all time favourite one, isn't even a creative one to look at. It just has one small picture of my oldest son, as a baby, being held by our elderly next door neighbours. The ENTIRE page is journaling!! I tell my son the story of Jack and Hazel..how they met, and about their life together. I tell him about how they would take him out in their garden on sunny days and he would come home, little lips stained red from all the strawberries and raspberries he had eaten. I tell him how much Jack and Hazel loved him, and the story of Jack's illness and stroke, and how my son would go over and sit on Jack's bed and "talk" with him..I tell him how I think the two of them had a language only their hearts could hear. I tell my son, of when Jack became an Angel, and I try as only a mom can do, to explain about heaven...hmmmmm...never really thought of this as my favourite page, but when the question was asked, it was the first page I thought of!! My ds, is now nine and still loves to read that page. ~Mar~...See MoreDo You Remember Your First Day of School?
Comments (28)I'm not sure it was my first day of school but it was definitely one of the first days of kindergarten. My cousin has just moved to my town and we were fast friends. We ruled the kindergarten classroom because we were the only ones that knew someone. Our mom's had to have the teachers put us in different classrooms after kindergarten because we wouldn't let anyone else play with us and we were very bossy. I'm not sure my mom did the right thing on that one. Both of us were very shy after that and didn't make friends easily until much later in school. My DH remembers his first days vividly. His mom walked him and his twin brother to school and they both followed her back home. They didn't want to stay there. This went on for several days and she'd walk them both back to school only to get home and find them back at home. Finally one day when they showed up yet again at home, she put them outside (it was a cold day) and wouldn't let them back in. They finally got cold and walked to school and stayed the rest of the time. I think that is the funniest thing ever. I can just imagine getting home after taking the little rascals to school only to find that they'd beat her home. Today they'd probably call social services or something....See MoreWhich GW members do you remember and what do you remember them for?
Comments (39)I often think about squirrel and her photoshop generosity. I think she decided to turn her skill into a business. I hope it worked out. There was a poster that lived in AZ and had health issues. (Eileen?) Her posts were very polarizing but I occasionally wonder if she is well. It's interesting that some people seem to get obsessed with this site, post like crazy, bare their soul and then vanish....See MoreWould you ever start a big construction job with just one estimate?
Comments (25)I like the points about relationship and trust, and "better to pay more for the right person than less for the wrong guy". I feel sure I will not make any friends right here, but I question how multiple bids have anything to do with the above statement. In fact, it seems constructed of several false assumptions. Many people have some rationalization that is completely reasonable for deciding not to competitive bid their project, but do those reasons stand up to scrutiny? The answer is that most simply do not. Here is the only reasonable question to ask yourself when considering whether or not to competitive bid a project: "will the value added from competitive bidding exceed the cost?" I don't know the answer to that question for you as I don't have a real picture of the cost, but I can tell you with something that approaches certainty, there is value in competitive bidding. We understand much of that value. For example, we know that projects that are competitive bid are more likely to finish on time, they are less likely to have cost overruns and are of higher quality. What I personally don't understand is why this is even in question. Seriously, competition drives performance...if that is news to you, then welcome to earth, and what else would you like to know about the human condition? We keep score for a reason. Just two days ago, San Francisco lost the Superbowl, do you honestly believe they would have played just as hard if there wasn't a scoreboard? The guy who finishes the race in third place still ran harder than he would have if he were running alone. It isn't about the cheapest, it is about better. ---- There is no doubt that there is comparative value in multiple competitive bids, it is also likely to yield a flat increase in the quality of information, however, there is a cost. That cost might be monetary or non-monetary and it is completely reasonable to decide that the additional information and quality is unlikely to be worth the additional cost and just go with one bid for that reason....See More- 16 days ago
