For my 40th birthday, DH got me a watch. Not just any watch. A digital watch. With a built-in calculator. Lots of tiny little buttons on it.
OMG, that's bad. Was it a Casio? My DH needs everything explicitly laid out for him when it comes to gifts. When our first DC was born, he got me nothing on my first Mother's Day. When DC 2 was born I basically cut out ads for what I wanted and left them not-so-subtly on his nightstand. Got exactly what i wanted.
These clueless ones need a nudge. Granted, Victoria Secret sexy stuff while you are still having lochia and feeling belly frumpy is pretty funny. Thongs while you're still wearing those overnight pads. Man, that would get me.
I'll go one better: I buy my own diamond earrings and cashmere sweaters and just pay for them out of his checking account.
So when he buys that Rolex out of your account then you have nothing to complain about.
Start by setting small goals. Taking a second off his time for instance. Learning that flip turn. Reward reaching those goals.
But the important thing is DON'T LET HIM QUIT.
My kids are allowed to try any sport they want but they know that they have to commit to 2 years. Since you can't expect anyone to get even halfway decent at something in the first year.

Last year the team mom had each kid write a paragraph about what football means to them then took them and had them bound giving a copy to the head coach and his assistants
Potatoes should be stored in paper bags. Grocery bags work best. You can fold them over and close them with a clip, keeping them dark and any moisture escapes so that they don't rot.

And there are 5 distinct regions for scotch whiskey. Most people have a preference for where it comes from
I usually get home and spend 10 minutes in the bathroom
This why they will rip you off. Because you are an elitist assAnonymous wrote:I'm wondering what is a reasonable price for a cord or half cord of wood. I always have a feeling that the "folks from rurla areas" rip me off.
If we are just talking snacks (on the go type stuff) then maybe dehydrated fruits or even jerky (talk about concentrated protein!!! )

Tell the sister that the dog is welcome but she has to stay home 
Granted we have no idea how much money OP is talking about. Or how much will be left after her mother dies. Or any stipulations that will be placed on the money (used for college, wedding, downpayment on first house)
But personally I would be happy if my parents left their money to the 4 grandchildren (2 mine, 2 my sister). I don't need it. And like another poster said, any money that was given to me would end up being used on my kids anyway.

There is two buffets in Thurmont. The before mentioned Cozy and the Mountain Gate. The Cozy has the better atmosphere but it's still a buffet and can get very crowded (however the iced raisin bread is delicious) Plus it's easy to get lost in the warren of small rooms. Chubby's is also very good. There is also the Shamrock but that can get expensive fast
However it's also highly likely that if you only faintly smelled smoke then she wasn't the one doing it.
