What gifts should i get my baby nephew????

i need help! besides CLOTHES, what can i get him? he's turning one, so he's still tiny. i've looked at shoes, beanies..and nothing. does anybody have any idea? any advice will do! thanks for your time and have a goood day! :)

What gifts should i get my baby nephew????
Books are wonderful gifts. He should almost be ready to start paying attention to an adult reading to him and he can look at the pictures. I highly recommend the Karen Katz books such as "What Does Baby Say?", "Where Is Baby's Bellybutton" and "Where Is Baby's Mommy?"





They are brightly colored flap books and you can get them on Amazon or at your local bookseller. My kids loved those books and those books have really started a love of reading in my kids.
Reply:toys.... Loud ones to drive mom and dad crazy lol .... :)
Reply:Radio Flyer Tricycle my 13 mth old loves his,


anything that plays abc's or other songs


Baby tools like light up hammer


At that age they like anything
Reply:Mothers most desperately need diapers. "stuff" he won't play with for very long and then it gets sold at garage sales. especially new mothers who don't "have it made" it's the weekly day to day things that really get them down if they don't have enough money for food %26amp; diapers
Reply:any thing that makes noise i gave my niece that has flashing lites and she loved it
Reply:When they are turning one it is always a good idea to get them a toy that they can walk with and push that makes music. I know they have a pooh toy like that and my daughter got one for her first birthday that sings the abc's and 123 song. It lights up and everything. You may pay about 30 dollars for it but they love it. It also helps them as they walk around the house. Or a scooter that they sit on and they can ride themself around on it. It's somewhat like a bike but no peddles they just use their feet to get around on it.
Reply:since he still too young to realllly appreciate b-days u should get things for the parents like clothes as u've said, diapers!, and maybe a gift card for baby's r us (then they could get exactly what they need and u dont have to worry about geting him the same toy as he already has lol) but things like that r ALWAYS appreciated
Reply:get him a savings bond every year...when hes old enough he can put them towards his first car or towards school..thats what my godmom did for me every year until i was 16
Reply:Get him a blanky
Reply:There are now lots of really great musical toys out there that he will love playing with and will also stimulate his brain!





You could also buy him a savings bond etc. Because this is the one birthday he'll be more interested in the paper/box than what's in it!
Reply:My neice just turned one in June. And I babysit a little girl who turned one this month. Both of them love to play with balls. That is their favorite thing. They also like anything that makes noise.
Reply:A savings bond. Really...I'm not kidding. He could use it for college.
Reply:I was given a Veggie Tales CD and a Wiggles CD for my sons first birthday, and out of all the gifts given, he still loves his music.
Reply:Diapers.





Toys and gifts are pretty useless to a 1 year old. Maybe a savings bond that he can use when he gets older?
Reply:Get him an educational toy that will stimulate his eye/hand coordination.'
Reply:I'd get him a small teddy bear and a savings bond for when he goes to college. He won't remember what you gave him for his 1st birthday, so give him something he can use in the future. I got a savings bond every year from a family friend, I had a good little nest egg when it was time for me to go to college.

IS this a good Bargain for BABY CLOTHES??

I saw these clothes on ebay and the striderite shoes are worth over $42 bucks alone so it seems like a great deal.


What do you think?


Do you buy form ebay?





http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...

IS this a good Bargain for BABY CLOTHES??
Yes as I was looking at the clothes I noticed my daughter has alot of those clothes and I bet I payed more for all that then almost 200 dollars. Some stuff from Carters is expensive. I would defiantly buy the stuff.


Also I have bought some things from ebay. I have bought my daughter clothes and formula and it was all very good and had nothing wrong with any of it.
Reply:Wait to bid until the very end of the auction. Sometimes the bidding gets nuts and it winds up not being such a good deal. Lay low and submit your bid a few minutes before it closes.





I have bought clothes for my toddler on eBay with really good luck. I don't expect the clothes to be perfect and sometimes there is a dud in the bunch, but at the rate they grow, it really can be a huge money saver!
Reply:omg yes go for it
Reply:It will depend on the final price. I have a guess that the reserve price is $42.





Yes I buy and also sell on Ebay. The seller of these looks reliable as it has 100% feedback from 91 users.





You can also look for childrens items on my site if you want new items.





http://www.babymatter.com/shop/amazon_pr...





Good Luck!
Reply:I would start at like 20 dollar bid and see what happens.
Reply:That is an awesome bargain (thus far) and that particular lot is actually on my watch list! Ebay is a great place for baby clothes, I have bought tons and have always had good luck.





For those who said it was too expensive, read the whole question, goodness. Just the shoes are worth 42 bucks, but there are a bunch of clothes in addition to the shoes. Everything is still at .99 because the real bidding has not even begun!
Reply:sounds good to me. they look like they are in pretty good shape. i've bought a computer on ebay before and a few small things. i will be looking for little boy clothing soon after my son is born. we want to have all of his clothing for the first year.
Reply:Never bought from ebay, but I would not spend $42 on a pair of shoes for my baby that will only fit him for a month or so.I don't know about you, but I have way more important things to spend my money on like food and bills and house payment, etc.
Reply:I think that is way way to much for a pair of shoes i mean you might as well by something a payless for 14 dollars they have good shoes and maybe not the cheapest but better than the one on ebay

Ladies, what would you do if you were in my shoes right now?????

About a year ago I was dating someone that we eventually didn't work out. About a month ago he contacted me again and wanted to see and like a fool I went to see. By the end on the night, I found out that not olny was he with someone else while he was with me, he also concieved a child during this period and he now lives with his son and the child's mother. My quesion to all is, he called me today and he wants to see me, what should I do?





The loving is real good but I am at a lost for how to handle this situation again. I like being with him but I don't ant all of the extra drama and I know how it is to be a baby mother and have your other half cheat, it didn't feel good to me so I know that if the other woman knew she would be very upset, HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!

Ladies, what would you do if you were in my shoes right now?????
Do Not even go there again!
Reply:TELL HIM TO TAKE A HIKE
Reply:well Honey.. You shouldn't see him. I don't think it's a good idea even if you like him, You have to think that you can't be the 2nd one in someone's life ... You deserve respect as a woman and He is just a immature guy, who feels confused.. I know it might hurt now but you'll see later on that that was the best thing you could ever do, no only because you saved your honor and your reputation but also because he is a DAD right now and you don't want in the future a husband that has affairs behind your back right?


YOU NEED TO THINK WHAT YOU DO AFFECTS OTHERS. Also, just think... where is this "relation" taking me to??? AM I GETTING SOMETHING GOOD OUT IF THIS? HOW MUCH DO YOU VALUE YOURSELF? IS ALL OF THIS WORTH ??? NIKKI If I was in your shoes.. I definately would forget about this guy. I would just not go and try to find a better person someone who can value me as a woman and never lie to me nor cheat.


THINK IT OVER OK NIkki ? :-)
Reply:I can't answer another question today..so I had to redo this one...I read your reply and you were right!! I just hate when women are better than the situation they are in and they stay... know that you were hurt before and you would never want some one to feel like you have before...this is not a good situation for you and hopefully within this past year you found other guys that were worth it...leave his azz alone though...you don't want to be carrying his baby and run into this question by some one else!!!
Reply:RUN! You don't want to be just like her...and then you will have his kid and he will be opening his black book for another chick he calls every now and then. Good loving IS EVERYWHERE!

How to keep floor cleaner for baby?

We have hardwood floors in our entire house, accept for the bathroom, which is tile. How can we keep them cleaner? I suggested to my husband that we start taking our shoes off and only wearing slippers.. our son is going to be crawling soon and all over the floor. Thanks. ;-)

How to keep floor cleaner for baby?
Yeah wearing your shoes in the house isn't great, actually it isn't great for your floor either as dust and dirt will etch the finish.





However please keep in mind that many studies have shown that keeping a child's environment too clean causes many problems. I would aim to sweep the floors once or twice a week, and mop every two weeks or so. Just use a very basic water and soap solution -different hardwood finishes need different cleansers. Some are fine with vinegar, vinegar damages other finishes. Some can take dish soap (food safe) some can not. Obviulsy spot clean as needed.
Reply:We don't wear shoes in our home. We also bought a Big rug that she can play on from Walmart. We put it away when she is done playing.
Reply:I would invest 15 bucks in a Swiffer and use that daily to pick up any extra dirt/small crumbs that get on the floor.
Reply:They make the squirt and mop murphy's oil soap that I like, and also Anderson (the type of hardwoods we have) makes a good cleaner in a blue bottle.





Shoes are a no-no in my house...my hubby yells at me because I will be right rude to his friends if they come in all muddy and not take those shoes off.





For quick clean-ups I use the swiffer.





You wont be as concerned about the floors as what she is putting in her mouth ;)
Reply:taking your shoes off is a big start. also sweep/swiffer the floors everyday (1 or 2 rooms). mop the whole house once every week or 2. be sure to use cleaners that aren't going to hurt your son!
Reply:Taking off your shoes is great! We do that. Also, get a swiffer and a dust-push-broom of some sort and if you do that everyday in between heavy cleanings that will help keep the floor clean.
Reply:Yeah we don't wear shoes in the house we take them off at the door. Other than that regular cleaning.
Reply:Taking your shoes off is about the best your going to do. The one thing I learned with hardwood floors is they seem to be impossible to keep clean. Obviously you aren't going to let them get disgusting. But Swiffering once a day and mopping a couple of times a week should be sufficient. Remember that you want to keep your baby in a clean but not sterile environment. There are many good bacteria that he will pick up and needs to. If he isn't exposed to bad bacteria, then he will not ever develop a strong immune system.
Reply:Remove all dust etc.NOTHING TO BE PICKED UP BY HIM


HOPE YOU KEPT WALL TO WALL CARPET AND BEING CLEANED UP !
Reply:the shoes would be the main thing....sweep everyday or get a dust mop
Reply:I have one of those Swiffer Wet Jets that i use on the kitchen floor. They are inexpensive, and super simple just takes a few minutes. It wouldnt take time at all to maybe do your floors with that nightly or every other day, and then maybe once a week go all out with the mop, bucket and murphy's.
Reply:Taking your shoes off will help but indeed it's not good to be too clean, exposure to some dirt is actually good for small children! It's already been said a couple times but I would like to add a couple links to articles you may want to read. Good luck with your little boy!
Reply:you can only do so much...i wouldnt worry about your baby crawling around on the floor...they get dirty, and its not going to hurt your baby.
Reply:yea definatly NO SHOES in the house!! and try one of those squeegy mops for hard wood floors and just use it every day...it should be easy to use...good luck

Where can I buy shoelaces for baby KEDS????

I accidentally disintegrated 2 pairs of my twins shoelaces in bleach....I cannot find shoelaces for infant shoes anywhere!!! I need plain white short little laces. Has anyone had any luck buying any?

Where can I buy shoelaces for baby KEDS????
pay-less shoes
Reply:Shoestation or either Wal-Mart
Reply:Stride-Rite!
Reply:Go to Wal-Mart or the shoe store and get the shortest pair of white ones that they have. Look on the back and it will say for how many eyes the lace is for and get the one with the least, they are sometimes still a little long but they work and if you double knot them they are perfect.





i also lost a lot of shoe strings and other things to bleach and have found that the oxy clean mixed a little stronger than recommended works just as good and doesnt eat them up.

How much should I charge for baby sitting?

The children are age 6 to 7. I have them for for six hours a day, five days a week, about 40 weeks a year. I care for them, teach them to read, and write, and add, and subtract. I teach them to get along with each other, to respect differences, to love their parents, their community, city, and country.


I teach them to love one another and their neighbor.


I teach them to tie their shoes, button their coats and use an umbrella.


We enjoy drawing and learning about primary colors. We make arts and crafts. We learn about geography and history.


How to use the bathroom.


Just so many wonderful things they start to believe they too


are wonderful and can do great things here, at home and for our country.


Many times I use my own money to buy things to make their days and learning special.


I cannot refuse them a treat during holidays or provide them with the tools to send mom or dad Happy Valentines or Happy Mothers Day....


As a sitter mom and dad can go make some real money.


What to charge ?

How much should I charge for baby sitting?
I would charge as much as you think the mother can afford.


It should be $150 a week for each but if you want to and the mother is poor then less. It depends on what area of the ocuntry you are in and what the neighborhood is like. If the houses where you live are $600,000 and up then charge about $300 per child and if the houses are $100,000 then charge $125 per child. If it is a low priced place with just apartment buildings you can charge less.


Find out what the others are charging that do what you are doing. Charge the same as them.
Reply:You could charge at least minimum wages , whatever that is in your state . That is what I pay my occasional sitter
Reply:It sounds like you have been looking after these kids for a while. How come you are only asking about pay now? It will be quite hard to change what they are already paying you unless they have brought up the question of a raise. Also, it would help to know which country you live in and what type of area you live in. If it is a wealthy area with wealthy families you can afford to charge more. Also, if you need to drive the kids around, do you include petrol price?


I would have a look at the award for childcare workers in your area and as for that amount. In Australia, you can look at the Industrial Relations website to find out what the award is. Childcare workers are classed under "miscellaneous workers" and I think they get about $18 AUD an hour. I hope this helps.

I have an 11 month old baby boy.?

He can crawl very very well. He also pulls himself up and gets back down pretty good too! (almost too good!=)). when he is in his walker i notice he walks with his tip toes. when i work with him on his walking, he uses his tip toes even more. since it it summer i usually let him go barefooted. is this normal? do i need to keep walking shoes on him?

I have an 11 month old baby boy.?
Walking on tiptoes at this age is normal. Walking shoes are not necessary. In fact, they can slow down the process some. When your son does learn to walk you will quickly see that he has more trouble with shoes on.





As for the walker: Baby walkers do not help babies learn to walk. They exercise the wrong muscle groups. Babies learn to walk by first pulling up on things (like furniture) and then cruising around while holding on. The more time babies spend in walkers, the less time they spend actually learning the physical movements necessary for walking. Not to mention they are prone to accidents.





Walking well is often thought of as a 1 year old milestone, but actually it is a 15 month milestone. So if baby isn't walking by a year, don't worry. He'll get there!
Reply:No you don't need to keep walking shoes on him at all times. You must be a new mom. I'm a mother of four boys ages 13,10,2 years and 2 months . the first three all started walking on the tips of there toes,the oldest is a football player and the 10 year old plays basketball for his school. i really wouldn't worry about it . Enjoy every moment of it ,soon he'll be running away from you (take lots of pictures) .
Reply:Not only is it normal but it is essential for brain development!





BUT...pediatricians don't recommend walkers anymore because they can be dangerous and they can cause a kid to skip developmental processes. The stationary play centers are OK.
Reply:don't put shoes on him - it is better to let them go barefoot or if you must put shoes on him use ones that are soft such as robeez
Reply:I suggest limiting the use of walkers. Babies who use walkers for a long period of time have been found to have an abnormal gait when walking. And your baby probably learned to use tiptoes because of the walker. I suggest that if you have to use the walker, limit it to 30 minutes max at a time and no more than 3 times a day.





As far as shoes, babies don't need shoes unless they are walking outdoors or on unsafe surfaces. But if you're just home, just let him be barefoot. Being barefoot is the best as this allows for arch development of the feet.





Let your baby cruise (walking sideways while holding on to furniture) and he will figure out that tip toeing is not the best way to walk.
Reply:He's fine. My girls did that, esp. the oldest. She didnt like the feel of the grass on her bare feet. My son, the youngest, still likes to run on his tip toes when he's excited and hes 2 1/2 now. Your baby boy is fine. Put shoes on him if you think he may need them to protect his feet, but I would say he doesnt need them otherwise.
Reply:its normal.
Reply:It's normal. All children do this.
Reply:All babies walk like that. He'll be fine
Reply:It is very normal. My 19 month old still walks on her tip toes, but she walks really good. She doesn't however walk on her tip toes in shoes.
Reply:I dont think there is anything to worry about. i would keep shoes on him, though. Cant hurt.
Reply:He'll be perfectly fine! Don't worry, all babies do this. He'll grow out of it. As far as shoes go, maybe try putting shoes on if the pavement is hot. If he's just in the grass or something he'll be fine.
Reply:Walk at one, talk at two. Your boy is coming along nicely. Maybe have shoes on if he is outside, but it will be confusing for him to not feel the ground beneath his bare feet!
Reply:I personal don't think that babies under a year should wear shoes. Their feet have not yet full developed. Put socks on him. And yes most babies walk on there tip toes at first.

Reply:I don't remember exactly what her shoes looked like, but I would check online dance supply stores. Maybe under the Latin section? Most dance shoes are pretty standard, so I am sure you can find something similar.

Reply:dont do it for him tell him to do it himself!!!
Reply:Try Flylady.com.
Reply:easy all you do is explain to your husband that you need to keep the huose clean or give him the baby to look after
Reply:First off, quit treating your husband like a child, you are not his maid! Don't touch any of his stuff for a week, when he runs out of underwear, can't find his shoes, etc. perhaps he will notice. Inform him that you choose to treat him as an adult, you are not his Mommy. Teach him to run the washer/dryer. If he doesn't get it...everything left on the floor goes into the "out" box, goes out the door. This also works in training children to pick up after themselves. You must be firm, say what you mean, mean what you say, no nagging. Create/ or buy a large calender, record ALL events, errands, etc., when leaving the house to drive children to events/activities incorporate you errands into the trip. Quit sorting socks, have a sock basket, put all fresh laundered socks in it, anyone watching TV, has the privilege of matching the socks, you don't have to do it yourself! Everyone must put away their own laundry, (except the baby). Raising children and working myself was wearing me to frazzle..I started using the phrase, "No worky, no eaty"! Worked like a charm.
Reply:good question, And my heart goes out to you.
Reply:Talk to your husband and tell him what's on your mind. He probably does know, just ask him to pull his weight because you guys are one and you have to work together.
Reply:You pick your battles and stick to your guns. For example if you are busy feeding children and cleaning up after them then you don't have time to feed and take care of animals. Let him know calmly and stick to it. Either he will jump on board, get you help or the animals will be gone; but stick to the battle you choose. I also checked out the website the other people advised and I wish it had been around when I had this dilemma. Good luck!

How do you break a baby's grip without hurting him?

The one year old I babysit has the normal ironlike grip, but grabs ANYTHING within reach...from hair to clothes to who knows what else. Any ideas how to make him let go without hurting him...like maybe a pressure point or something like when you put their shoes on and gently squeeze their foot to keep them from balling up their toes...?

How do you break a baby's grip without hurting him?
Grab the baby's last two fingers(pinky and ring finger) and GENTLY pull them away, this will break a grown man's grip, and it will surely break your *iron baby's* grip. Good Luck.





P.S. The reason this method works is because the last two fingers are the weakest two fingers and you can break someone grip easily without hurting them. Try It.
Reply:I agree with everyone above and rest assured that none of the techniques are harmful or dangerous. They will not hurt the child unless unreasonable force or pressure is applied.





Try these techniques on yourself or a friend and you will see that they will result in the outcome that you desire.





Also, tickling won't hurt either. ;)
Reply:Put your hand over theirs, gently, like you're going to hold it normally, only it's on top of their iron grip and not receiving the grip already. They will reach for it, letting go of the object, temporarily occupied by the idea of what is touching their hand. That's what mine always did.
Reply:An easy way to loosen their grip is if their hand is in a fist, push down on their knuckles and push towards their body. Naturally they will collapse their fingers and let go. Good luck!
Reply:Softly rubbing the tops of their hands and they will open.. I do this when I cut finger nails.. it is a great way..
Reply:squeeze the sides of the hands. fists or not it'll open.

MY style would be a striped black and white long sleeve tee


with a grey babydoll and yellow patent flats.
Reply:I like neutral colored baby dolls, like black, gray, or navy, with colorful tops underneath. Gray with bright pink underneath would be my favorite choice. Since the dress is short, flat shoes work best.





I would look for 60's style accessories, like a cute headband, and a necklace with big, colorful, round beads. A vintage style handbag would be really fun, too. Check out etsy or indie friendly for cute, handmade unique accessories.

Do you ever dress your baby or toddler son up for no reason?

At least once a week I can not help but to dress my two year old little boy up. I dress him in a dress shirt, pants or dress shorts, dress shoes and dark socks. If it is cool I will even put a little sweater on him. No I don't go as far as a tie, though I have been temped? I brought him to a dentist appointment last week and they were all talking about how nice he looked and wondered why he was so dressed up lol I might have to put him in private school when he is older just so I have a reason to dress him up ;)





No he does not mind, yet!

Do you ever dress your baby or toddler son up for no reason?
Nothing wrong with your child looking smart in their clothes. Every Saturday we do a shopping trip and get out for the day and we all put on something nice.
Reply:Love it... You might as well while you have control of it... Dress him up anytime you want.... I LOVE IT!
Reply:lol yes, just because it is so cute! They are like little baby dolls, and you can only do it while they are so small so enjoy it while you can! lol.
Reply:Black leather jacket, blue button-up collar shirt, Brown corduroy carpenter pants, and some brown boots with black stripes. He looks so cute! Mine likes to match. He is 5 and does not like to look stupid.
Reply:No...children are not toys. Buy yourself a porcelain doll to play with. Honestly...this is about you....a need to draw attention to yourself, its not about the child and he WILL object when he gets older...rightly so.
Reply:Yeah, I do that a lot. Yeaterday I dress my 16-month-old daughter in my 5-year-old daughters shirt and shorts. Surprisingly it was not too big for her and she wore it the whole day. My 5-year-old daughter loved it and my husband didn't even felt the difference. Poor kids, we parents are playing with them as dolls! Right?
Reply:I actually dress my 4 year old son up almost everyday, just like you do. I know people think I'm crazy when my son is dressed up like he just came from a wedding when we are at Wal-Mart. I just think it looks good on him and want him to be use to it when he gets older. He actually has more dress clothes than play ones. No I do not get mad when he gets them dirty. He insist on it, even around the house lol My oldest however dresses like the rest of the kids.
Reply:Of course; all moms do it. You might as well take advantage of it now while they'll still let you. My son (age 3) is all boy, but he does like clothes. He still likes most of the things I pick out, but he also likes to pick his own clothes. Still, I know there are things I can get him to wear now that won't go over well in a few years. Something tells me he'll be less than thrilled to wear a Ralph Lauren sweater vest to elementary school. He does attend a private school, but there are no uniforms. As cute as they are to parents, I had to wear one for years as a child. I just can't put him through that!
Reply:Hey, moms of girls do it all the time when they put them in dresses, so I say go ahead and enjoy your son while he is little.

HELP!!! I am having a baby shower...?

I am inviting about 80 (!) people. I have hardwood floors with a thick finish and I am wanting to know a polite way to include something in the invite to let everyone know that I don't want spikey high heels. My house is brand new and I don't want my floors ruined. I don't want to sound mean and I don't want to put a sign up saying to remove your shoes at the door. What do I do???

HELP!!! I am having a baby shower...?
I would include a note on the bottom of your invitation saying something like:





"no high heels please, new hardwood floors! =) "





they should understand...if they all have homes of their own.
Reply:My friend just moved in to her place and had her floors redone as well. She had a baby shower party as well and to protect her floors, had a shoe rack near the door, with a bucket of brand new booty socks for everyone with "congratulations, its a boy" written on the side. It was REALLY cute.





We all took off our shoes, put on our new booties, and then took pictures. It was a great idea. ;)
Reply:80 people? Woah!





You might try stressing that dress is casual: "High heels not required."





Maybe they will get the hint.





But in all honesty, with that many people it will be hard to control what is worn. You may have to live with it, or intercept "high-heelers" at the door.





HTH

Reply:Alright well, you need to just say in your invite:


Baby Shower You are invited! Please come with a baby outfit the best outfit wins! Then they'll come with baby booties, and little sneakers and stuff like that! And if they come with heels, tell them to take their shoes off, and carry them into the house until they get to some carpet, and just go from there!
Reply:I hope that the mother to be wont be opening the gifts at the party. Too many! The only way to insure no one walks on heels on your floor is to station someone at the entry to enforce the rule of no shoes. And that person can not leave to go to the bathroom even.
Reply:Have somebody greet each person at the door and they can simply say something like: "Gifts go over there and you can place your shoes over there." Just have a rug or basket out for everybodies shoes. It would also be nice then to give each guest a (cheap) pair of slip-on slippers or socks (like baby bootys so it would fit in with the shower) so they don't have to walk around barefoot.
Reply:Well, I would kindly ask everyone that comes in if they could remove their shoes if they have heels since you want to take care of your floor. If I was your guest I would understand. If yo don't ask you are going to spend the whole time at the shower worrying about your floor and money trying to fix the marks. Your friends will understand. Trust me. Don't worry, it'll work out.
Reply:I watched a Martha Stewart show, where she said she had a basket of footie socks by here door. they were expensive, and somebody had to tell her there were cheaper ones out there.


Try to find ones that have sayings on them. what a cute favor! socks that say it's a boy! Get some cheap baggies, and when people go put heir shoes back on, they can roll them up, and take them home.


Two suggestions: keep a sturdy chair or two by the door for the less agile of us to sit and take our shoes off, and buy the footies with the non-slip coating on them. You might even find a rubber backed throw rug for in front of or under the chairs, so people can come in the door, sit, and take off shoes without scratching up the entryway, and so the chairs won't slip and scoot and scratch.
Reply:PROVIDE FREE SCUBA SHOES
Reply:Make it an Oriental Theme Baby Shower......Have all the guest sit on pillows on the floor....Of course they would naturally have to take off thier shoes....Serve Oriental food....Tea...ETC.....It would be different and FUN.
Reply:You can have your guests remove their shoes, but provide slippers for everyone. (cheap ones at 99 cent store)Not everyone likes to barefoot it.


You are not being mean, it's your house. I know a lot of people don't allow shoes in their house because of germs, dirt and their nice floors.
Reply:I was reading the other answers and something popped into my head--- when my hubby's aunt had a bridal shower for me before we got married she had just had her floors redone and she went to like wal-mart or some place like that and bought some cheap little rugs all in the same color and put them down over her floors like where people would walk, so nothing would be damaged...





Good Luck

Would you visit me if you were in his shoes? guys?

I was seeing this man abou 2 years ago....we really cared about each other, but I had a bf which he knew about, but we decided to see where it went...I so wanted to be w/ him, but was too scared to make such a drastic change in my life...I was only 20 and he was 29...so now I live in a different state and had a baby w/ my now fiance, and we started talking again...I mean the attraction' still there and he's such a great guy...I'm going to visit my old state to see some friends and wanted to visit him...would you come see me or let me see you? He still tells me that I'm beautiful and that I'm a great person...my fiance doesn't know that I'm talking to him, but I seriously wish I was w/ this guy, but I don't think he'd put himself out there again or would even want to....

Would you visit me if you were in his shoes? guys?
You don't see it straight. The victim here is your child's father. You have a problem controlling your impulses. That, of itself, isn't what's wrong. What's wrong is your keeping it from him. If this is the same guy then you've been keeping him in the dark for two years. Why? Because you don't want to hurt him? Better someone else do it for you?





You do realize you could have had some guts and been straight with him at the beginning right? You wouldn't be asking this question now if you had.





Sorry if this isn't the answer you were hoping for, but it's not your fianceé's or this other guy's responsibility to make you happy with what you have. That's yours.





It doesn't matter what this other guy is willing or not willing to do. You have to decide whether to fall into bed with him or not. And it is you who has to decide whether or not you can deal with what comes after. Don't delude yourself thinking this other guy shares your concern for your fianceé. And, don't blame your fianceé when he reacts. He didn't really get to choose did he?





If your fianceé wants monogamy then either give it to him, convince him he doesn't, or let him choose to stay. Any way you'll be free to bang this other guy as much as you want.





Your fianceé is not your husband yet so you don't owe him fidelity. But you do owe him your respect of the trust he gave you.
Reply:well.this is a tough one.i think you should see him.make sure its not lust or just sex.make out then see how you feel afterwards.if you feel bad.then ddont see him any more.if your not in love with your boyfriend.that you have know.it may be just lust or sex.if neither one of your relationships work.call me.im interested?
Reply:If i was him i would stay away from you. If you will cheat with him. You will cheat on him.

Am i being too baby? should i forgive him???

i got a free ticket to go to great adventure six flags and i could invite one guest so i invited my best friend. i called him repeatedly and he said he will go. i called him a day before the great adventure and he said he will although he is out drinking with his friends.





at 8 in the morning, i went to his house to pick him up. but he wasnt there. i called him over 20 times and he didnt picked up the phone. i was pist off and i left him a harsh message. i didnt wanted to go there alone so i just went back home.





i really dont care about great adventure or free ticket. what made me mad was that he is my best friend and i trusted him but he betrayed it. i believe friends are all about trust. after this, i cannot trust him. he called me and left a message... i didnt even listen to it and erased it.





would u guys be mad if u were in my shoes? am i just overreating? am i being too immature?

Am i being too baby? should i forgive him???
I would be mad but it is not that crucial! U can't always depend on ppl to come through for u.Its a lil immature.4give him 4 it.
Reply:i would be really mad. and probably would have left him a message too. after all he is your best friend and best friends shouldn't do that. you are not being immature but you should have listened to his message because he could have said something really important, and you should always wanna hear what your friends have to say because it could be there last words to you.!!!
Reply:You should at least let him explain you why he wasn't home. Maybe therewassomething serious going on. Of course maybe he was still out drinking or whatever.


In any case, I do believe you are wrong to be mad at him but I believe in second chances so I think you should give him one.


If the reason whe stood you up wasn't anything serious then you can tell him that you don't trust him as much anymore but that you will give him (if you want that is) a second chance to earn your trust again.
Reply:I would be a little mad that he blew me off bt I think you are being a little to harsh. I cold understand if he blows you off all th time but you didn't make note of that. So, with that inmind, I say that you shoul call him up and go out for a meal or sumthing and listen to his story and then decide if he's a loser tah aught to be ditched. untl then take a breather reflect onall that he's done. if not a lot of bad I think he deserves another chance.





Hop I helped!!
Reply:I'd be mad too, but I'd eventually forgive him for it. I think it was a bad idea to delete his message. Give it a few days, see if he calls you. If not, maybe give him a call and ask what happened, and tell him you're really offended that he ditched you like that.





I remember a year or two ago when I asked my boyfriend if he wanted to go to this concert, and he said yes. So the day of the concert, I call him, and his mom says he went to it with a few of his friends and completely ditched me, I was ready to kill him, lol. Getting over it just takes time, and sometimes you have to freak out a little bit at the person just so they know that they shouldn't mess around with you like that. :P
Reply:Heck yes I'd be mad. If I were you I wouldn't forgive him. Did he apologize???? If he did then I would start to forgive him but not all at once. If he has not said a word to you since...I don't even know what to tell you. Oh and how do you know he erased the message without listening to it??





Whatever you choose to do........good luck!
Reply:i THiNK THAT i WOULD BE MAD T0O

Are you STILL a "baby boomer?" Can you answer the following? Then we'll know!?

1.Who gave the longest Inaugural Address of the 20th Century?





2.Which running shoes did Jim Fixx wear?





3.Who once admitted he'd committed adultery in his heart?





4.In what year did Ronald Reagan first publicly mention AIDS in a speech?





5. What was the name of Sid Vicious's girlfriend?

Are you STILL a "baby boomer?" Can you answer the following? Then we'll know!?
I don't know if I am a baby boomer. I think I am about 10-years to soon for the baby boomers? But here goes.





THE LONGEST inaugural speech on record was that of William Henry Harrison in 1841. At 10,000 words, it took him nearly two hours to read -- in fact, he stopped midway, took the oath of office, and then resumed his speech.





Jim Fixx wore red nylon Onitsuka Tiger racing flats. It's hard to even consider these running shoes, they were more like slippers. They offered no support and even less cushioning, but they were beautiful.





Jimmy Carter admitted he's committed adultery in his heart.





I believe it was in 1987 when Regan first mention AIDS in a speech.





Sid Vicious's girlfriend was named Nancyh Spungen (I think)?
Reply:Boomer generation "technically" goes to a birth-year of 1965. Folks born after that would remember many of these things. However, Boomers from say 1945 probably wouldn't know many of them like Jim Fixx or Sid Vicious. Report It

Reply:1. don't know


2. don't know


3. jimmy Carter


4. 1983


5. No idea
Reply:#1-don't know. #2-don't know, who is that?. #3-guess= Jimmy Carter, I liked him as President he is a good and decent man. Good family man. he was also a very hard worker and still is. I respect that and admire that in a person. #4-don't know, do know if reagan had taken AIDS seriously, we would not have 1 in 4 in Africa with aids now. Reagan said "isn't that a gay peoples disease?", he was almost as stupid as Bu$h but not as stupid. Reagan was so dumb he took part in a protest against his own policy called " hands acrost America", it was a protest of lack of food under Reagan policys for poor kids in America. #5-don't know.

Well, this is messed up, so,...what would you do in my shoes?

My divorce was just finalized


to my mate of 10 years (on and off some)


and husband of 2.5 years


before it was finalized we were talking about getting back together, how it had been a mistake





It had been his idea, suddenly, the divorce that is,


then he called crying saying he missed me and was breaking down, that we had to stop it





well anyway, his pothead ex stepped back in with her new baby


after swearing to be she wasn't interested in him, and no threat to me, that she had a new life





I just found out her baby's father died in December


guess that explains all this





so,...how messed up is all this?





What would you do?

Well, this is messed up, so,...what would you do in my shoes?
You shouldn't go back to him. He is confused and needs to mature a little. Marriage is a commitment to you before GOD and he has broken that once for NO reason. Love can hurt, be blind and most of all confuse you???? That's not LOVE! Love is pure, fun, happiness and when you find that marry again.
Reply:Well,you did say it was on and off over the years......maybe you would be better off without him.
Reply:Depends on how you really feel about him doesn't it?. If it was me, I would keep moving forward now that I had made a clean break re the divorce and start a new life. For all you know he could do the same thing again further on down the track, then you really would be wishing you'd listen to this advice. Only you can decide. Good luck.
Reply:Get the heck away from your ex, your ex's ex, your ex's ex's fatherless baby and the whole assorted drama! Sheesh, who needs that sort of sh1t in their lives? I'll bet you don't. Cut all ties with all of them and go find some normal friends.
Reply:You've done your time already. It's time for you to move on and become who you were meant to be (without him). He's a grown man and needs to make his own grown decisions, and hopefully he'll make the right ones. Oh and about the ex... leave that entire situation alone.
Reply:Give him a tissue for his tears and tell him to suck it up, you've moved on.
Reply:Nothing.. Go through the regrets, falsehood... cry for days.. hate him and the other woman like hell.. Then cool down. Time heals..
Reply:Move on Honey,no one deserves all thisshit, least of all you, havent you had enough?
Reply:stand back and watch the drama unfold!!!!!
Reply:Walk away and leave this man alone. He has serious issues and you'll never get rid of this woman now. She's looking for a father for her baby. You are divorced, start out with a clean slate and find someone who won't play games with you.
Reply:What would I do? I don't do "on and off again". Been there, done that, bought the T-shirt, but I was a kid then, and I didn't know any better.





Listen up: you didn't have an argument: you broke up. You never take somebody back. Never. That was your first mistake. Then you got married. Good grief. Now you are divorced, and you are thinking of doing all of this drama again?





It's your life. Have an unhappy life full of unneccessary drama if you like, but there are better things you could be doing.,
Reply:It depends on who he chooses. just becuase she came back, doesnt mean he is gonna choose her
Reply:hmmm...sounds to me she is going through her book of "exes" because she wants help w/ the baby...and does not want to do this alone...and she is looking for someone to take a bite at her hook...using the baby as bait...and if your "man" can't see through this lady, he's a rather dumb one, lol...I am sure she is feeding him a bunch of lines to try to get him to bite...all I can say is...if he has been with her again...forget about him...move on! If he has not been with her...tell him she has to go...baby or not...can't even be friends...that's what I think...exes don't belong being "friends". Good Luck and be happy...even if it's without him...there are other fish in the sea...and she should be told the same by him...=)

When I was a baby?

I had somthing called Jandies ( I don't know what that is my mom just told me about all of this today and i'm 15!!) appearently it means I had very light skin like Chris Brown or a little lighter bascially the doc said I lacked Vitamin D so my parnets put me out in the sun more and to this day I now have Usher kind of dark skin however my feet are the same because I wore shoes all these years my question is how can I make my skin match the tone of my feet. I'm African Americain

When I was a baby?
Jaundice is a common condition babies of all races can get. The jaundice then has nothing to do with your skin now. It's because of your feet hardly ever being in the sun when the rest of your body was. It happens to all races. You can probably never even it out completely, but if you wanted to try, you would have to apply sunblock to all the parts of your body that get exposed to the sun, and do it all the time.
Reply:tanning oil on the feet and sunscrean on the rest of your body or sunless tanning stuff ♥

I just had a baby 3months ago and i gained 60 pounds during my pregnancy from 150 to 210 i know weigh 200 lbs

i started doing 300 jumps using a jump rope since last week is that the best way to loose weight faster? i am so desperate to loose some weight, my clothes and shoes don't fit me anymore, please somebody help!!!!!!

I just had a baby 3months ago and i gained 60 pounds during my pregnancy from 150 to 210 i know weigh 200 lbs
when i got pregnant i gained 50 pounds. i spent six months excercising lightly 2-3 times a week (i lost about 2 pounds a week) and got down to my pre-pregnancy weight. i don't know the best way to lose weight 'fast,' but over time this worked for me:





i used a weighted jump rope, did vertical sit-ups, and did a mile of jogging per session (for a total of about 30 minutes of exercise). i only did about a 12-15 minute mile, so it was actually pretty slow jogging -- i have no endurance for running. i tried to fit the exercising in during my lunch hour, so my schedule didn't need any special rearranging -- although i was close to a gym, so that helped. also, i found drinking a lot of fluids (which helped keep running cramps at bay), snacking on homemade trail mix (butterscotch chips, raisins, and unsalted peanuts -- good for protein and a sense of 'fullness'), and eating raw fruits and veggies every day made a big difference.





if you wanted to lose weight faster you could probably try the exercises i mentioned, but maybe do 30 minutes of jogging, 20 min. jumping rope, and 10 doing sit-ups. maybe a friend could join you to keep you motivated? i have a relative who's in a competition to lose the most weight ... she's lost 13 pounds so far and is in the lead. the others will chip in for a night at a nice hotel for the winner and her spouse!





good luck to you. i think perseverance is key.
Reply:make sure your eating healthy too :)


Jump rope is a great cardio work out.. you should go for walks too -take the baby! and of course do your crunches! good luck new mama!

They don't need extra shoes, saline drops, a booger sucker, corn starch (for what--if you have A%26amp;D, you don't need corn starch.). I want to know how long you go out at a time for :-). Most of this stuff he can go without until you get home.

Reply:I very rarely take a diaper bag with me when I go somewhere. I just put his soother and a bottle in my purse and off we go.


But he we are going visiting then I put in diapers, wipes, cream, a bottle and his soother. If I know we are going to be gone for a long time then I add some food and maybe a change of clothes. If I do bring the diaper bag I leave my purse at home and add my wallet to the bag.


I think people go way over board when packing their diaper bags. Just take a look at how much of that stuff you don't actually use. You are already carrying a heavy baby around, why add the extra weight to a diaper bag?


Just a thought.

I always put her bottles/formula in right before we go so that I can tailor the amount she has to how long our trip will be. I always do 1-2 extra bottles than what I think she'll need in case something happens that keeps us out longer.





She's only 2 months old, so I'm sure her diaper bag will get more packed as she ages.

Should I abort this baby?

I'm 6 weeks pregnant with a man who I now know is a criminal. He's going to be in prison next several years. I'm 33 years old, single mom of 2 other kids. I do have a good job, but if I had this child it would be in daycare for long hours. (I work 2 days a week but they are 14 hour days) I'm not even sure I could find child care for those type of hours. I have no medical insurance, and I think I make too much for government assistance. So the odds are against me and this would be an extreme struggle if I had this child. But I keep thinking it could be my last. What would you do in my shoes?

Should I abort this baby?
If you are asking what I would do: I would have the baby. Either keep him/her because things would 'just work out' or put him/her up for adoption.





I would look into state assistance for medical insurance - for a family of 4, you may be within income guidelines.





I am sorry that the guy turned out bad. I am sorry that this is a difficult time for you - but congratulations on your pregnancy - babies are always blessings, even when we cannot see the blessing at the time.
Reply:Do not take your actions out on this child, there are other solutions. Please consider adoption. Many many women would love to have a child of their own, but can't. I know times are hard but this baby deserves a chance. You made the decision to sleep with this man and now are left with a decision to either abort this baby. Don't you think that there are long term consequences to that decision. You are going to have to live with the fact that you killed your baby. You can choose to give birth to this baby, and let it have a chance to be loved by a family that desperately wants a baby, and would give it a loving home where it is wanted. That's just me, I would rather give my baby up, then to give in to my selfish needs.
Reply:If I were in your shoes, I would never consider abortion. I'm 26 and also a single mom of 2. I have a decent, wouldn't say great job. I struggle financially all the time, just like millions of other parents. One thing that being a single parent has taught me is that God always provides. He just does, I struggle to make ends meet, but I've always been able to make it. My kids don't have everything they want or that I would like to be able to give them, and I also work long hours; but I don't think they ever regret having been born or having me as a mom. I don't think I'm raising defective human beings just because we don't have alot of money. Having an abortion because you think childcare would be hard to find seems pretty lame to me.





So personally, I would have the baby. I live by the saying "what ever happens to us happens for a reason" . God blessed you with this baby for a reason.
Reply:Get rid of it.


Becuase right now it is NOT A BABY.


It's alive like any other part of your body, but it's not a 'baby'.





You're 33. Do you have another 20 years of trying to bring a kid up right? Don't waste your time! Life is not about having kids, and you're a single mom and the dad won't be around.


Even you know beforehand that you won't be abel to brig it up as you wold like. Daycare and such etc etc. Not to mention the MEDICAL aspect. Right now, it's not a kid. If you let it become one, then that's not cool if you bring it into such adverse circumstances when you knew so beforehand.





Please abort it.


If not, then prepare ASAP to have it adopted. You don't need it, and it doesn't help you.
Reply:to honestly say i would have the child.....there are people out there who arent able to have children..you could always look at adoption. Remember its a baby and part of who you are.





P.S I dont believe in abortions its just an easy way out
Reply:Don't think that you make to much for state assistance. I am aggainst abortion, but that decision ultimatily up to you. The state always have a child care assistance for single parents, don't be to proud to try because it does not cost any money to ask. You do not have to keep the child, there is always the option of adoption. Before you make a decision think about it try to make an abortion the last option, because if you were aborted you wouldn't be writing this question right now. I hope your situation gets better and please think long about it before you decide to have an abortion.
Reply:Judgemant aside, have you thought about adoption?
Reply:Please, don't do an abortion! At least put this child up for adoption. I am very strongly against abortions. Good luck, hun.
Reply:I understand that you are looking for advice but this truly is something that you must decide for yourself.





Don't let anyone make you feel bad for whatever you choose.


This will be the hardest decision you ever have to make.





You seem to have a good head on your shoulders and are considering the reality of the situation. You have options, no matter what you decide it will be the right choice for you.





If you decide to have an abortion, it does NOT make you a bad person. You know what you can and cannot handle and it is not an easy thing for anyone to go through. Don't let anyone judge you. You also have adoption to consider (although it is understandable to not even want to go through the 9 months of pregnancy just to hand your baby over, I couldn't do it).





Try contacting your local Planned Parenthood they are very understanding they will not preach to you and they will help you decide what you want to do, if you decide to terminate,adopt of keep it they can help.





It's your body. It's your life and no one should be made to have to baby they know they can't take care of or do not want. It's your legal right to make whatever decision you want about your body.





I wish you the best and hope this all works out for you.
Reply:I am totally pro-choice, but in my opinion, it sounds like you may have a difficult time caring for this child. If I were in your shoes, I would seriously consider continuing with the pregnancy and putting the baby up for adoption. I don't think it's that you don't want another child, but rather the child being provided for in the best manner possible. I wish you luck with whatever you decide.
Reply:what a stupid selfish question!!!!
Reply:Personally I would only consider abortion as a last resort if you cannot possible put the child up for adoption. I would seriously consider adoption and if you feel you cannot go through with it because adoption is harder on the mother than abortion than I would have an abortion. If you can afford it have them put you to sleep for the procedure, the trauma of an abortion seems to come more from the pain and sounds then the procedure itself. God Bless and hurry before you are trapped into a decision based on time.
Reply:Tough choice. But the "sins" of the father shouldn't apply to the baby or your criteria for getting a abortion. Good luck in whatever direction you go in with this. It's an personal choice.
Reply:why not try a open adoption if you can handle the emtional side of all that but if i where in your shoes and had to make the same choice I would abort as a mother of three who was single for a period of that i can understand your agast in this don't let anyone make you feel bad about your choice I would love for all the pro-lifers to walk one day in a womans like you shoes and see if they have to same resolve on abortion it can be the best choice for some unborn children
Reply:No one but you can answer this question!
Reply:I personally would not have an abortion because l believe in a feutus having a right to live. At the end lf the day though it is up to you
Reply:It's a horrible situation to be in, and I've never been in anything similar, but you have already proven yourself as a good mother to 2 other children. You already know the joy they can bring, and you say yourself that you would be able to do it. The child's father being a criminal is not a reflection on what your baby will be like, as I'm sure you know already. As for it being your last, that's not necessarily so - you're not too old to have another one in a few years if you decided. I wish you all the best in your decision, and take care of yourself whatever you decide to do. And don't listen to some of the posters here that will no doubt be abusive and judgemental.
Reply:You can get through this. Things may be tough but dont have any regrets whatever decision you make. Remember you have a very precious gift inside you. If your a mother already at least you kinda know what you doing!

Hope it works out ok
Reply:Put it up for adoption if you really think you can't handle it.
Reply:I am very pro choice. In this situation though, it sounds like adoption would be a good option for you. You are a grown woman, so you don't have to fear your parents or worry about schooling or what not. Now what do your other children do when you are at work? Do you or the father have a family member that could watch the baby while you are working? 2 days isn't that bad. Ultimately, this choice is yours and no one here could influence you because we do not know your exact situation and feelings. Good Luck though.
Reply:The Decision is In Your Hands Think Really Carefully


That What Will be The Outcome.
Reply:I was 6 weeks pregnant when my body spontaneously aborted it. It was early enough and at the time I was depressed with my relationship, so I was glad that I lost it, but to this day I wonder what the child would be or look like if it were alive today. I think I would feel bad to put it on adoption but at least it'll be alive, but you may have a heavy guilt on your shoulders. I'd get too lazy to want to get the procedure done thinking of the pain. Let's just say you want something on layaway. You may not have the love of your child now but perhaps later if you let him/her live. Find out about single parent support who can help with the cost of giving birth or the adopted parents to be can help with the cost. In summary I am saying keep the baby.
Reply:This is a tought situation. But will you please put it up for adoption. I am strongly against abortion. When a baby is aborted it moves away from the abortion tools. find it a good home.
Reply:NO IT IS NOT that childs fault that the man is a loser and it is NOT your falt either You should have this little baby and do what is right for you and your 3 children YOU WILL MANAGE! and this may be a great experience for the 4 of you! KEEP your ead up nad RELAX!
Reply:It depends how emotionally attached you are. If you are thinking this could be your last chance for another child, decide whether you would be having the child for your sake or its. If your circumstances are as bad as you say my personal opinion is that it would be cruel to have the child. You are a single mother of 2 children, most people are happy with 2 children. You would be relying on the state to support this child and you do not sound like the sort of person who wants to do this. I understand it is really hard to make the decision to abort but I also understand that it can be harder to give an unwanted child a good life.
Reply:I truly believe you should have this baby. You will be able to work something out. Maybe seek some financial counseling for the added expense of daycare. And having another child will raise the amount you can make and still get assistance. They should be able to do something for you.
Reply:personally i would keep the baby no matter what weather he was going to be there or not because having babies is difficult at any age or situation your in if your a single mum in the UK you can get help from your local job centre with child care they pay up to 80% towards what you need there is always mother and baby groups you can go to and maybe even make some good friends that you can talk to if you didnt keep this baby just because the father is an idiot you will always wonder what if and you sound like you really care about this child already do your children know your pregnant? how do you think they would take it? i think you sound like a good mother for your other children so why not just try thats all any of us can do and it may turn out to be the best thing you ever did





i wish you all the best with your future
Reply:I'm not going to judge you because this is your choice i can't tell you what to do all i can say is to think long and hard about your options you could always have the baby adopted but i would think you will find that hard since you already have kids you no whats its like when you hold that baby for the first time ,it would be hard no matter what you do


i personally could never abort a baby for that reason it takes 2 and you have to take responsibility for your actions as does the father even if hes not around for you





i wish you well xx
Reply:only you can answer your own question because only you will have to live with your answer.
Reply:Abort. It's in the best interest of yourself and your children. e-mail me if you want further explanation.
Reply:Would you consider putting the child up for adoption instead?





There are so many couples out there who would love to adopt a healthy child. You could be the person to provide that child for one of them.





There are always "good" reasons for an abortion -- you have listed many that sound reasonable given your situation.





But the bottom line is that you know this is YOUR kid inside your body. You've had two others, so you know this. This is the half-brother or half-sister of your 2 kids.





Your situation is difficult. But is denying life to another person really going to make your life better?





Abortion is legal, and I am not trying to preach to you. I understand that I am not in your shoes.





I am just asking that perhaps you consider another option, such as adoption, before you make the decision for abortion.





Good luck to you -- my thoughts are with you!
