My husband %26amp; I have our 3rd baby, James, on Jan 27. I wanted him to be called James since I'm really not a big fan of any of the nicknames for the name. My mother though has a thing about calling people by their full name (says it's too proper??) and started to call the baby Jamie. Now the whole family has caught on and I'm getting personalized gifts and Easter cards that say Jamie on them and...I'm just not all that crazy about it :(.
I know there are BY FAR more horrible things in the world, but the name Jamie just bothers me at this point in time.
Should I say something or just ignore it?
Nicknames...let it go?
My mother drives me nuts with that too. My husbands name is Mike, but she has always referred to him as Michael ( regardless of our requests). So now we have a son that we want to call Michael and she calls him Mikey.
It annoys me. But in time it is playing out as when she calls for "Michael" to come help her with something, she gets a pesky one year old in the kitchen with her instead of my husband.
I would mention it to you mom and see how it goes, but really it is just a passive-aggressive way to stay in charge and she probably will not let it go. I would tell others you don't like Jaime or Jimmy. If you tell them once, I bet word will spread among friends and family.
Reply:You can certainly say something but, when it comes right down to it you are ultimately not going to have that much control over obvious kinds of nicknames like Jamie when the kid's name is James. I hate to tell you but you would have been better off naming the kid something else if you feel strongly about not liking some of the common nicknames. You can certainly tell relatives how you feel but the kid may end up getting called Jamie by enough others anyway and then your relatives won't be too pleased about having been confronted by you on the topic. I think you have to chalk this one up to experience and know not to name the next kid Victoria if you don't like Vicky.
Reply:i have a niki name it lucy recardo because i do jokes like her and have red hair too but not red red
Reply:For heaven's sake, say something. Tell your mother that you named your child James and that is what you want him to be called. If she can't respect your wishes, tell her you'll teach him to call her Aunt Joan instead of Grandma.
Reply:no offence but jamie sounds more like a girls name just tell her its queer and not to call him that. i think james is awsome name.
Reply:if it really bothers u then say it but nicknames just happen, u cant really pick them
Reply:Then make your own nick name for him
like
Baby Boy or Baby James
or something that he does a lot
like my little cousin was born with a patch of hair at the tippie top of his head so my aunt started calling him " Top Notch"
Or just tell your Mom an Husband how you feel
or just become quiet about it but when he grows up give him the funny details an memories of the name 'Jamie"
it's be okay it really will
Congrats on your Baby James :)
Reply:You have a right to speak up. This is your child, and while a "friendly" nickname may be well intended, if it offends you politely ask them to address him by James. Thank them for their understanding and remember to be firm but polite.
Reply:I spent years correcting people when they called my daughter Sam, Sammy, when she was little. Hated then...don't mind so much now. I now do it with people when they call my son, Jake, Jacob. I correct adults and family members but I don't correct my son's friends. That's his job. If you say something and really make an effort, they'll, or at least SHOULD, respect your wishes until the child is old enough to say something themselves.
Tell people you want the baby to be called James and any presents that are personalied to say the same too. Maybe down the road you won't mind the nickname Jamie. Who knows ;)
good luck and congrats!
Reply:Say something. You picked the name because you wanted him called James. There's nothing wrong with asking for what you want. Put the word out that anything engraved with Jamie will be thoughtfully donated to charity.
I don't think you are being selfish! You will regret it if you just ignore it.
Reply:You had to have known this would happen. I'm not trying to say that your family is right- because quite frankly I think they are being rude and disrespectful- but when you choose a name like James that is typically shortened you sorta have to expect that people are going to take the liberty to do that. Unfortunately the name is given and you should call him by his proper name but you can't control other people.
As the baby gets older and everyone hears you call him "James" they hopefully will catch on.
Reply:Families always give kids nicknames, just live with it. You can call him James, but in the end he will decide what people call him. Do not say anything to the family, it will just upset them and cause drama.
Reply:Oh, how silly your mom is being! James is what's on his birth certificate; why not call him by his full name? Not to mention that I love the name James. My son has a name that is often shortened, but we decided when he was born to call him by his full name. I got very tired of hearing him be called Matt* and Matty* when his name is Matthew*. I made it clear to everyone that they would either call him by his given name, or not call him anything. Parents choose a name for their child that is special to them, and it's a bit insulting to change what the child is called against the parents' will. Insist that your mom and others call your son what you want him to be called, or that they call him nothing. Good luck.
Reply:that is your baby the name you gave him i wouldnt ignore this problem. if you are uncomfortable with it you should tell them. i do agree with you though i like james for a name it a boys name but jamie sounds a little unusual. but you should talk to your family and tell them how this is making you feel or you wouldnt be happy.
Reply:Its YOUR child not theirs! SPEAK UP AND TALK TO THEM ABOUT IT!! Or maybe you should let James decide if he wants to be called James or Jamie.
Reply:we specifically chose names you could not make a nickname for-----Julia and Natalie-----and wouldn't you know Julia turned into JuJu Bean or Jewel and Natalie turned into GIZZY.
GO FIGURE! Just as long as you always set the example by calling him James.
Reply:Tell her that you would like the baby to go my his real name so he won't get confussed when he is older.
Reply:I know how you fell. My 8yr son's name is Steven and that's what I call him. I HATE the nicknames Steve, Stevie etc but that's what his friends and some family members call him. I correct family by then saying, "Steven________.", but friends...whatever.
For the personalized things, I would just tell people to have it say the name you want. Putting Jamie in that situation is rude after being told not to. As for him being called Jamie, say something but in the end...just gonna have to let it go. Nicknames come with the name :\
Congrats though!
Best Wishes =]
Reply:it's something that life has thrown at you that you will have to find peace with.
with family members it's okay to tell them that you would prefer they use the name you chose, not a nickname.
but other then that, you'll just have to let it go...

My 14 year old keeps defending her deadbeat/drug addicted dad?
My ex husband and I seperated 13 years ago. My daughter was 1. Since then, our house has been robbed several times, my tip money has been stolen (over the years), my childrens bank accounts have been emptied. Easter cards with money in them have been kept by dad. He refuses to pay child support.
I have re-married and had three more children. Ryan, our baby died last year of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. My ex-husband took up collections, and kept the money, never gave a penny to us. Two months after Ryan died, unfortunately, our house caught fire (electrical) and burned down. We lost everything and had no insurance. He took up another collection and kept everything. I was too much in shock to do anything.
Now, I am better (state of mind) and I am nailing him for child support and considering a civil suit against him.
My 14 year old is LIVID and tells me she hates me for doing this to her dad. She never even sees him?How can she view him as the victim because I am finally stepping up
My 14 year old keeps defending her deadbeat/drug addicted dad?
I work for a counselor and I have learned that someitmes children will take up for partents that are no good because the child thinks that it will make the parent love them. They believe that they can change them and make them see that they are not bad children. Kids tend to believe that they are the reason that there parents arent around. Tehy believe that they did something wrong. You may need to seek counseling for you daughter. She will one day see that it is not her fault and this will be when she needs you the most. Try to be there for her and let her do what she needs to do. Hope this helps. You are in my prayes.

Reply:first of all, don't let your children know about what goes on in the court room. your the adult the parent and she is the child. children love both parents regardless of faults. if the father is telling her what's going on give her the best answer you can give by informing her it is an adult matter and the court handles that affair. that she needs not to worry everything is alright. hope this helps
Reply:OK so you married a liar, thief, con man and probably more and all you want to do is get your money back! Have his *** thrown in jail and let the state prove how evil this man is.
Now that you have moved on sit her down and show with facts how he cares nothing about her. If he did he would never have taken so much from her future. Give it time and be honest with her as to how you feel as well. The truth will set you free!
Reply:totally take all this to court, she is 14 she dont know better but this is a good time to teach her, take her to court have the judge talk to her. and maybe cousling too.
Reply:I AM A DAD,N I THINK ITS CAUSE SHE LOVES HIM AND MISSES HIM,,AND I THINK YOU SHOULDNT LET HER NO URE REAL FEELINGS ABOUT HER DAD,,EVEN THOUG HE IS A REAL LOOSER....BUT WHAT SHE DONT NO ITS NOT GOING TO HURT HER...PEACE N LOVE TO U N URE FAMILY...
Reply:Y are you letting him take the money??
TAKE HIS *** TO COURT!
Reply:I think she loves her dad, and the fact that she never sees him only makes her want him more. And she's still a little girl, and she wants her parents to be together. She's willing to forgive her father for what he did, and she sees what you're doing to her father as going against her wishes. She still loves her dad, you see. She believes that he loves her too, even if he may not, and that's all that matters to her.
You have to remember that she's still mostly a little girl, and she needs a father. She still looks up to her father, as all little girls do. You have to be patient with her.
I don't think bringing her to court is a good idea. It will only make her think that you're a cruel person.
Reply:i think she blames you for not seeing her dad that she's blinded by the other horrible things he's doing i was just like that. my dad was and is cheating on my mom and i kept defending him but now that i know the truth i dont do that anymore and the only reason that is, is because my mom was honest to me about what my dad was doing. if she has evidence of what her dad is doing she won't believe in him so much. show her, tell her she may get emotional but dont let that stop you.
Reply:Does your daughter know about the things you listed above that her father has done?? If not, then she definitely wouldn't understand. Either way, no matter what, this is her dad, and she will always want to stick up for him. My husband's father was terrible to him, and my husband is still (at 30 yrs old) wanting his father's approval. My brother's dad is abusive to women and a drug addict, but he wants to be like his dad, because he doesn't know any other dad. All children look up to their parents, and will defend them even in the light of negativity. I think you are doing the right thing, and in time, your daughter will have the maturity to understand the person her dad really is. Someone mentioned taking her to court with you, might not be a bad idea.

Do they do delivery on easter days?
I bought something with my credit card in colorandflavorshop.com and they said they were going to deliver it with UPS but they did not tell me the time. I want them to deliver it before Saturday. What do you think?
Do they do delivery on easter days?
No there is no delivery on sunday and monday or tomorrow friday. But there is on saturday so fingers crossed it arrives them.
Happy easter
Reply:They probably won't delivery it on Easter because its a Sunday and a holiday
Reply:There is no mail on Sunday, so it won't come on Easter. You still have two days left (tomorrow and Saturday) so depending on when you ordered it, what you chose as the delivery option and what it is, hopefully it will come before Easter.

Carla craft punches?
Hi. I have only a few Carla Craft paper punches and was wondering what card designs i can do with them. Please state a website that i can refer to for christmas, easter... card designs. pls nn thank you
Carla craft punches?
Okay, this one is going to be harder to answer...but, you can google search card making or "Stamp it up" in relation to card making. It really depends on the design of your paper punch. But you can do what my ex used to do and punch out several colors of the same design and layer the card giving it a 3-D effect....

How long is a buisness day?
ok so look let me copy something so that you can make me under stand ok : "You'll receive 1 month of Habbo Club and the Easter Duck by 10 PM PST on the first business day after redeeming your card." i redeemed my card around 5- 6 pm pst so what time will i be getting my presents back?Well pretty mutch im syaing how long is a buisness day?
How long is a buisness day?
The length of a business day is irrelevant to the quote above.
They are just saying that if you redeem on Friday (or Saturday or Sunday), you won't get your reward until sometime before 10 PM PST on Monday.
Business days are Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.
Reply:9-5
Reply:A business day is 9 am to 5 pm.
Business days do not include Saturday or Sunday
Reply:I think the first question is a bit slow, but assume your redemption was recognized immediately, not delayed by mail, etc.
The length of the first business day doesn't really matter from the citation you give. They're just telling you that it wouldn't apply on a weekend or holiday, i.e. they're not business days.
If they're doing business at 10 pm, that's a little unusual, so it sounds like they have a long business day.
There are sometimes references to "close of business, aka COB) or normal work hour. Both of those will depend on the individual business. In some it's a straight 9-5. In other, normal house might be defined as anything between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., allowing for people to work flexible schedules.
So I think the answer to your question is that if you filed this thing Monday through Thursday, you should have it the following da.
Reply:Its not how long but rather Monday thru Friday excluding holidays and for some businesses include Saturday too but most do not. Each day in those guild lines counts as a business day.

Years ago, around Easter time, my boss asked me to scan in an Easter card with the crucified Christ on it and make a joke card out of it for her friends. I said-- "fire me if you want-- I won't do it". Has anything like that or worse happened to you?
Has your boss ever asked you to do something you thought was wrong?......?
Yes. My boss asked we to write a check to someone and post it as it it was written to a different company. I refused. I'm glad I did because we were audited.

Is it legal to use one MTA card in New York city for 2 persons?
I am visiting NYC during the easter holiday with my friend and we would like to know if we can share the same weekly MTA pass to take the subway together at the same time. Thanks in advance!
Is it legal to use one MTA card in New York city for 2 persons?
An unlimited ride MetroCard (daily, weekly, monthly) can only be swiped once every 18 minutes.
This is to prevent two people using the same card.
So to answer your question, yes, it's legal, just very inconvenient to do so. Spend the money and buy one card each.
Edit:
Why on earth would someone give me a thumbs down for giving a correct answer?
Reply:gotham, i also gave you a thumb up...
i also think that the thumbs down have more to do with the actual MetroCard limitations than with your answer...
Reply:GothamGuy called it and I gave you that thumb up there! :)
Reply:no, if its an unlimited weekly u will have to wait exactly 18 minutes to swipe the card again for the next person to use. if u both try to sneak throgh u will get caught trust m e i have been caight 2x by an undercover plain clothes officer and got a 120 ticket both times, dont be cheap or stupid the ticket is only a 2 dollar fare.
Reply:I would check, but my guess would be no. One pass - one person. In fact, I was in Paris (for work, unfortunately!) and bought a ticket good for 3 zones for 5 days. One day, agents got on board the bus and checked to make sure that everyone on board had their own ticket.
You might lose your OWN pass if caught; I personally wouldn't chance it.
BTW - for those of you who gave me a thumbs down, the MTA site itself says that the unlimited ride metro card is for ONE person at a time! You may not like it, but it doesn't mean my answer is incorrect.

Happy visiting!
Reply:I know that on a regular one use MetroCard you can do it, but on anything higher than a single use, once every 18 minutes.
Reply:well yea, its legal if you use the same card...but you both have to pay 2 bucks each
and yea you can buy an unlimited, just gotta wait 18 minutes before you can swipe it again
but if you want to go in together with one swipe, sorry, not legal.
hope i cleared it up for you.
Reply:a 7 day pass is $21 or $28, i forget...but trust me that amount of money is nothing compared to what you will be spending when you get tdown there...so dont fret about a 20 something dollar metro pass, each of you get yopur own
Reply:Yes.
Reply:An unlimited pass will not work for two people, as you have to wait 18 minutes between swipes.
But if you both chip in for one card, you can increase the number of bonus rides that you get on the card, so you can save money that way.
Also - if you do share a card becareful with transfers. The trick is that you swipe twice to get on the train - but if you transfer to a bus, you only swipe once!
Reply:Two riders for the price of one ? I don't think so !
Reply:My friend, I've see this problem occurred to a lot of tourist. The answer to that is no, you can not share the same weekly MetroCard, because if one person swipes the card at the turnstile on the subway, and the next person has to swipe the same card, the second person will not be able enter the subway.
The second person will have to wait 20 minutes in order to use the card again to enter the subway. That's how the MTA set up the system when they introduce the unlimited pass several years ago. My advice, bite the bullet and purchase a weekly pass for each each of you.
Good luck and happy travels.

My experience was not nearly as bad as yours.
I had a boss who was very insecure, and he didn't like a young man who was a fast rising star in the company. He wanted me to "help" him frame the young man, and "help" get the young man fired. I refused. My boss made working for him a living nightmare, other employees reported his abuse to Human Resources, he was demoted and transferred to another state, and I made a lateral move to another department.
The young man moved right on up with the company. My ex-boss now reports to him. LOL!!!

What to do about parents-in-law and Easter?
My parents' in law true colors came thru last summer with the arrival of our baby. When they visited at 2 wks, they were selfish, rude, and they wanted to run our household. eg. they took the baby for a stroll in a new stroller we hadn't even used for 1 hr w/out asking, just b/c they wanted so. For Xmas, we preferred not to travel 1200mi(by car) b/c we wanted to catch up on sleep and avoid stress of seeing them. 2 weeks ago, my DH forgot to send his mother a bday card but called instead (we had a sick baby %26amp; we both work full time). When DH called, he got an earful from his retired father (45 mins of yelling, stating disappointment b/c of my DH's "lack of responsibility,a bad person, a bad son, a disgrace, a worthless human being, and needing mental help." Now, DH's brother invited all to join them for Easter. My DH is leaning towards not going but instead invite his brother up to see us, or visit him another time with our baby. What would you recommend?Any experience out there? tx

Visit another time with the BIL. Your inlaws sound unstable.
Reply:Its sounds like all of you are selfish and self-absorbed.
There are never going to be any winners in this, you all think your too important to be wrong about anything.
Reply:Your and your husband needs to decide if traveling with a young child is best to go see the family for Easter. If you go, let them lavish as much love on the baby and don't let it bother you. It's only for a few days. Before you go, your husband needs to tell his dad no more outbursts, or you are not coming. Also, when they visit, you have to allow them the excitement of seeing their grandchild.
Secondly, do not compete with his parents by also inviting family members to your haouse for the same date. That will start WWIII.
Putting up with you in-laws' quirks is part of marriage. If there is a serious problem it is up to your husband to stand up and correct it.
Reply:they need to book a hotel...and you say your household is run by you and make a plan for a cookout at 1pm....they can find their own breakfast each day....3 days is enough

Ideas for a children's Easter Bonnet?
Have just enroled by 4 year old at a new preschool group and discovered they are having an Easter bonnet competition tomorrow!! I am not the most artistic at the best of times, but I really am not sure what we can do, I want to do this with him, not make it look like I've done it! We have coloured card, felt tips, paint and glue, but not too much else any ideas appreciated, don't want to have to go out and raid an arts and craft shop this afternoon if i can possibly avoid it!

make a sort of crown effect hat ( a band of card cut out to fit the childs head)
decorated with cut outs of chicks,rabbits,easter eggs etc all made with card very easy but so effective

Whatever you do make sure you put a 'cross' symbol on it somewhere! After all that is what Easter is all about and if it is a competition it 'has' to win!
Reply:a nest containing cute painted eggs and chicks?
Reply:You may be able to cut the paper similar to a doily, or lace-like in appearance. A ribbon to help secure under the chin would be great, or maybe substitute a shoe string with maybe cut out flowers at the ends. Or simple flowers around the edge of the brim (paper and glued) Any lace around the house? I would use a baby's cradle cap as a shape or a circle tied on with a ribbon.

Reply:you could get a large circle of card and cut from one edge to the middle. Then fold the edges over each other to make a "coolie" style hat, stick it down. Paint, decorate and then stick ribbons to the underside to enable a bow to be tied.
Reply:Easter Bonnets
You will need a large paper plate. Decorate the top of the plate with flowers cut out of coloured paper, and other decorations and stick them onto the plate. Get some bright ribbon and staple to the sides. Then put your bonnet on.
If you are having a party or have many children playing then you could have your own Easter Parade.

I need some advise regarding family easter dinner with the in-laws.?
4 years ago my brother passed away and ever since my husband and I have been having all family dinners (easter,christmas ect) with his family and my parents. This year his sister wants to have it which is great. However my parents were not invited. So my husband called his sister to ask if they could come.When she returned his call the message on the machine said "Well the dinner was to introduce my boyfriends children and I did not have any intentions on inviting them....(long long pause) but I would hate for anyone to be alone on easter. I f they have no other family to go to then I guess it would be okay. I would have to get a card table and chairs and ask mom if she still had them.... (long pause) Well bye"
We both feel she does not want them to go and she knows they have no other family to go to.
I always grew up that you always invited extended family to come when they have no one else to go to!!
Do I have the right to be angry with her?
Help me!!!
I need some advise regarding family easter dinner with the in-laws.?
Forgive her for her ignorance,,,She wants the spotlight this year let her have it and when her brother does not show up to meet the rugrats because you are having your parents to your house for dinner and he is staying home, or he can go but he will be going alone,,,it will leave an impression on the selfish inlaw,,i mean the brats are going to be there more than just easter right,,she has no right to break tradition,,,,
Even make the effort to invite your inlaws only parents to your house in the middle of the day for dessert..
Reply:I dunno......it seems like an uncomfortable situation for everyone really, especially the new boyfriend.
Reply:That's just rude. I think that if she has an attitude, then maybe you and your husband should go to your parents for Easter.
Reply:I would be upset if I were in your place that is for sure. Sounds like your SIL has some growing up to do. Your husband really needs to talk her and let her know that she is being awfully rude to you and your parents considering they have been involved in this family easter dinner every year for a while now. She could have just been having a bad day too you know just stressing over planning the dinner. But, your husband really needs to stand up for you. Don't talk to her yourself about it, that may make things worse because from what I have learned SIL's can be very jealous of her brother's wife and that very well could be part of her rudeness. Please let your husband handle this one and make sure that he does. Because she is being rude and wrong and immature.
But, if push comes to shove don't attend her dinner and have dinner with your parents or plan to spend time with your parents in the morning or the night before. I think your SIL also could have picked a different weekend for introducing the boyfriend's kids.
Reply:Why don't you just have a nice intimate Easter dinner, for your family and your parents, I think they may be more comfortable, Have a blessed Easter!
Reply:She's basically telling you that her boyfriend, who is not related, is more important than your family. I can see how you could be insulted; but, if I were you, I'd choose not to be. Life is just too short. However, I'm not sure it's a good idea to take your parents there. Maybe you should have dinner with your parents instead, and tell his sister you'll visit with them later in the day. Try not to get your panties in a bunch about this, because it's really not worth a big family battle.
Reply:Go buy yourself a ham and get ready to cook dinner yourself. If she is going to be that rude then don't go and have your parents over for dinner. If she says anything about y'all being rude for not coming b/c she was going to introduce the bf's kids then remind her she too was rude. Your own actions always bite you in the rear!
Reply:I think your SIL should have chosen a weekend separate of a holiday to introduce her b/f's kids to the family.
Maybe fix a small dinner and invite your parents over.
I wouldn't attend the other dinner party.
Reply:of course you have the right to be miffed
she was using a poor choice of time to introduce the boyfriends children, a big event in any mixed family but dont do it at an established family gathering, the children will feel more like in comers than ever, however she thought this a good idea and clearly this took place above anyone elses feelings including the fact your parents are as much a part of this time as anyone else
selfish and thoughtless on her part
but she thinks what she is doing is a good idea and its clearly not, from the childrens point of view, yours or your parents, take your parents, make the most of it, DO NOT let her see you are miffed, and next year, you have your festivities, with YOUR family
good luck
Reply:cook dinner at your house,invite your parents,and anyone else you want.whoever comes,comes.ALL family should be together.she did this for a reason,the snake.
and your husband should stand by you on this as even tho it is his sister,once he married you,you are his family now.and you know,anger,has it's place,but not on easter.really i would not ever forget what she did and i would let her know how i feel about the whole thing and enuf said.take the upper hand on this situation since it's your family that was shunned.and don't back down on the attitude here after,and tell your husband that's how it will be to.but that you still love her but hey..............

What would u do if u hadnt seen ur dad since easter in 2006?
i dnt wat to because he sent me a christmas card and then a bday card in feb and i miss but a gave him a chance before easter and i went to his house for a week end and he sed he would get in touch by a phone call and i was still waiting but thenit was near christmas and i was out sleeping at a m8s and me mum rang me up and send there a card so went home and there was £100 and then for bday he gave £20 so some plz help
What would u do if u hadnt seen ur dad since easter in 2006?
well by sending u stuff hes showing he cares for u adn wants to keep in contact with u u should try to reach him if he dont want to talk maybe its beacuse hes embarrased or something i havent seen my dad sine i was three but we keep in touch well good luck
Reply:I'm not sure what your question is. Do you want to know if you should contact him? If so then yes. He is making an effort to send you cards.
Reply:I'm not sure exactly what your question is, but I think you should reach out and call him. He's sending you cards and money so he's trying to show you he cares and he wants to make contact. A dad is too important to throw in the garbage. You said you were waiting for him to get in touch - well have you tried calling him? Maybe he needs to know that you want him in your life, because it's hard for someone to keep reaching out and getting rejected (not sure if you're rejecting him or not, but just to let you know). Dad's are so important, I hope you can fix the relationship with yours and see him again.
Reply:you can try to call he and if he still don't have time for you then tell he the hell with him and if he calls that is good and if he don't that is great when you get older and you been come a man your father will know that he was not there to help to grown into a man you will become a greater man then your father so keep you head up so day you will be a father and you will not treat your kids like that :)
Reply:Try not seeing your dad for 20 years....ya! he left when i was 5 years old...and if i find him now i will punch him in the face!

I bought some Christmas cards from my son's school?
Inside them they all say merry everything ,happy alway's
one of the other parents told me this is because they have kids that are from other country's in the school and they dont celebrate Christmas. I also noticed at Easter that they had spring break not Easter. What do you think of this is it wrong or right to do this not to offend those that dont celebrate?
I bought some Christmas cards from my son's school?
I don't think it is right, You bought Christmas cards, not merry everything or happy always. I think if these people don't believe in Christmas they should go back to their own countries. They probably knew before they came over here that we celebrate the holidays that concern Christ. It iratates me when these people complain. Just this week a foreginer threathen to sue an airport in NY because it had a Christmas tree up and decorated. They had to take it down.But, last week, he withdrew his threat. They should go along with us or just ignore it. I would not buy any more cards from that school........
Reply:Other religions are always complaining that we don't follow there religions. When we do. We bend over backwards for them. I myself think it is ludicrous. Our country is a mainly protestant/catholic country. Now even saying Merry Christmas is being banned If we went to a mainly Muslim country we wouldn't be able to build a catholic church and have pictures of Jesus or crucifixes outside. Our Government is too soft.
Reply:I understant that some do not celibrate.. but they have to understand that they came to a country that was founded on GOD, it is in the government the schools.. to take it out now would be to go against everything our founding fathers faught for.
Reply:School is about learning and it doesn't involve learning religion because that is a personal choice. Is it fair to celebrate Christian holidays while other religious holidays get put aside? If all religious holidays were celebrated think how much attention it would take away from learning because there are so many holidays.
Think how some people might react if schools did celebrate all those holidays. If they did the pegan holiday winter solstice. How many Christians would be mad because they don't want their kids to learn things involving witches.
I really get tired of Christians making a fuss about it because they don't even stop to think of the other kids. When I was in school they still allowed Halloween and I remember one girl was not allowed to celebrate it. So instead of dressing up and swapping candy with the rest of the school she had to sit by herself in a classroom till it was all over. As much as I love Halloween that was unfair to her. No kid she feel left out.
For those of you who are saying America is founded on God and that people should go back to their own countries. America may have been founded by people who were religious. Let us not forget that America's laws state that each can choose their own religion. That church and state are seprate and school is under state. If you want to tell people to go back to their own countries why don't you start with yourself? Your ancestors came here and took over Native American land. Who by the way also have their own beliefs.
Reply:It falls under the term being "politically correct". It is never wrong to not want to offend people but you must stay true to yourself and your beliefs.
But in your case you did buy Christmas cards therefore they should have a Christmas greeting in them, after all this is why you purchased them, I think that the card company is wrong in this instance, those who don't participate in Christmas would not have purchased them in the first place. Happy holidays.
Reply:I think it's total bloody rubbish. I'm not a christian. I'm not offended by celebrating christmas or easter. I know lots of other none christians who aren't either. When I lived in England it was possible to by a Diwali card. I'm not a hindu either but that didn't offend me. It's just a load of politically correct twaddle!
Reply:It's political correctness gone mad.
Reply:If they don't like it , they can white out the word christmas and insert their holiday.
Reply:Personally, I think it's quite silly, and over-sensitive on the school's part - have they asked the non-Christians if they are offended? I bet not.
I don't think it's wrong - I just wouldn't buy them myself.
Reply:i dont think that you should send in any cards because if you send cards into the people who do celebrate X-mas the people who dont celebrate will feel left out.
Reply:I am a 51 yr old Australian woman and i have had a muslim boyfriend for 8 yrs. I celebrate Christmas, he doesn't. He is not offended that i do all the usuall Christmas stuff tho he doesn't agree with the belief. I respect his beliefs and try to understand his beliefs, he doesn't quite understand xmas but i do all my xmas stuff and i have said ,you choose to come to this country ,a a christian country) understand that this is a part of our culture. I respect that you don't wish to partake but we share the holidays. As far as the cards go , we are celebrating xmas so the cards should have xmas sayings on it, if the muslims, hindus or any other culture does not wish to celebrate xmas then that is their choice, if the school is sensitive to these cultures feeling separated from australians by not wanting to send xmas cards , then perhaps the school could supply a lot of cards especially for those children that say have a happy australian holiday. and keep average xmas cards for the australians. Speaking of xmas- santa has nothing to do with Christ and shouldn't schools ban cards with santa, I really don't think any one has the right answer but it is Australia and we are following the christian calendar so to speak, many are not christians but still send xmas cards as part of our culture. We repect new commers to our country and want them to fit in but why should we change our very own culture to preserve theirs. Don't we deserve respect for being different. Respect on both sides should be taught at schools, tolerance and intergration doesn't mean stop enjoying and following our own traditions. What's next, no smoke at the bbq?
Reply:Just part of Britain's gradual decline....check how many people are emigrating these days!!....so many do come back...but you get the point....this country is in free fall....what can we do about it....not much because of the antiquated political system.
I never thought I'd say this but an uprising might clear the air....trouble is the d******d element...ah well, kettle on....
Reply:It's the same at my daughters school, this is done because the school district want to be sensitive to others who dont celebrate Christmas.
I think it's great that the students learn about other religions and realize other family's spend Christmas break celebrating Kwanzaa or Hanuka and some don't celebrate at all.
Reply:I would get cards that say seasons greetings and have a beautiful Winter scene. Now me? I am a Christian and my cards have a very cute baby Jesus on the front. You have to remember- this is Christmas, an American Holiday that celebratesChrist- Santa came along later for the people that said they didn't want their children believing in a "god", but instead, a old man who gives out candy and presents if we sit on his lap? Hmm, aren't we trying to keep our kids from getting molested? You have rights. Follow your heart, and your beliefs. You may not believe what I do, and that is okay. I have celebrated many different custom holidays. And it is educational, and fun. Share our holiday with them! It is not a harmful thing to wish love, happiness, and a happy new year.

Work at a nusing home?
Hi.
I work as a receptionist at a nursing home and some of these residents look so lonely and never get visitors. Do you think it would be nice to hand make them an Easter card? Just to brighten their day. I work til 8, so I have some time.
Work at a nusing home?
This is a GREAT idea! You are very thoughtful to do this. It doesn't take alot of time, and it will make them happy.
Reply:I work at a nursing home and I know they love when they receive things that are home made just for them. I usually bake things and take them in for them.
Reply:Yes,
are you going to make them at work?
Reply:ABSOLUTELY! What makes people happy is doing nice things for others. Just imagine yourself at their age (rest assured you will some day be that old) and think about what would brighten your day. These people are the latest casulties in this modern progressive way of life.

I just got Casino Royale on Blu-ray and it came with a little card saying that I should press 7669 (sony) in the main menu to access an easter egg. I've tried and tried and I can't get it to work. Some people said you have to enter the numbers and then press enter. There is no enter button. Their is a "OK" button but when I enter the numbers and press ok, it just plays the movie.
Blu-ray Easter Egg?
7669 is simply the code to enter the color calibration screen. this is on all Sony discs - not just Casino Royale. There is nothing here of any consequence that has anything to do with the movie at all.

Is 27 too old to still be getting Easter Baskets?
I don't think so, and that's why I'm mad that I didn't get one this year! Should I send mother a threatening card?
Is 27 too old to still be getting Easter Baskets?
No! I was so upset I didn't get a basket this year. This is the first time I've lived several hours away from my family. I even called them and gave some hints! "So...Easter is in a few days. It's pretty sad I have to spend it by myself. You know...this is the first Easter I won't get a basket."
I was sure they would send me one...nope!
Guess they think it's time for me to grow up...

It's the Easter Bunny you need to take issue with. Were you bad this year? Or is it that the Big Bunny is a fan of Fall Out Boy?
Reply:I hope not, then I would have to give back 7 years worth of stuff.

Reply:Yes
Reply:Threatening people who normally give you gifts is a good way to not get one for any occassion in the future. Just go buy yourself one, they're cheap now, and mention it to your mom, she may take the hint next year
Reply:Not too old. Just the stuff IN the basket changes. 27th Easter is a 6-pack and porn, right?
Reply:no if u get them thats good

Help with easter gift baskets?
I need ideas of what to get for my boyfriend's 8 year old brother, I already have my boyfriend's 12 year old sister,things for her in her gift basket. the only ideas I have for the boy is a soccer ball, cards, water guns and small cars, and candy with eggs in them, and home baked cookies , that I'm going to make.Any ideas. About 20 dollers, I'm trying to make them fair for each of them.
Help with easter gift baskets?
just add more candy to his to make them balance out. He won't mind and I don't think the girl will even notice. By the way, it's awful nice of you to do this for your boyfriends siblings.
Reply:You could get him a variety of those little rubber wristbands that come in every color and with a variety of slogans. I've seen them camoflauge colored, and sayings that are anything from inspirational to spiritual to fun. Lots of little boys at my school wear them and think they are pretty cool! This could be the "boy" version of little makeup and jewelry items for his sister.
Reply:Last year I made Easter baskets for my pastor and his family, Sunday School teacher and my boss's kids. I put plastic eggs w/candy in them, jelly beans, etc and made homemade muffins, and homemade chocolate crosses. Good luck.
Reply:One idea I do for young children is off to the lowest cost store, like a pound shop in the UK or dollar store in other countries.
I just picked up cartoon DVDs and child appropriate old movies for cheap.
You might find loads of other things for him there as well.
I know you will put your heart into this as you have other gift baskets!!!
That cheeky Lad
Reply:Go to the Dollar Tree or a similar store, just browse up and down the aisles, it is so easy to get ideas that way. Also, WalMart has a cheap section with lots of small toys and stuff. They still like matchbox cars at that age. If he likes little action figures, there are tons of them out there, a cheap calculator, etc...
My son loves to get cool school/stationary supplies in Easter Baskets, Christmas Stockings, etc... Like mechanical pencils, specialty pens, small dry erase board with markers, small bulletin board with designer/specialty tacks, sports team folder, etc...
Reply:That is really nice of you. REALLY nice. Maybe you can add a little stuffed animal or a 5 dollar mcdonalds gift card. Also, bouncy balls or pop rock candy. Go to the toy section in walmart and you can find little toys for 1 dollar. Oh yes.. one other cool thing you can add that they sell at walmart are glow in the dark bracelets. The kind you see at disneyland. good luck
Reply:When my son was that age, I got him comic books, sidewalk chalk, play-dough, colored pencils, simple models, etc. For easter in particular, the chalk, pencils and play-dough. He made his own decorated easter eggs out of the play-dough. At first I thought he was too old for it, but truth is he loved it. (Particularly hiding a fake snake made out of play-dough in my basket).

Reply:try buying two or three silly putty eggs in yellow or red. purchase an Easter chapter book for boys, or an Easter fun activity book. get a small Lego's kit that would fit into the basket. get a little tamagochi pet or a mini game of checker. a new game for his video console.
Reply:I think what you have already is great! Honestly a soccer ball will sometimes cost you $20 so I have no idea how you pulled off 20 things for around 20 dollars for her!! A great place to find little things is Target...boys like messy stuff- they have "goo" made by Nickelodeon that's colorful and fun to play with. Silly puddy is always amusing (and small) You had already mentioned cars- like Hot Wheels? Anyways- again, what you already have sounds wonderful. (are you trying to really win your boyfriend over or what?!) Nice job. Very sweet. :-)

How would you respond?
This situation happened to my best friend and she is thinking of how best to respond. She is getting married to this man she has been dating for the past four years. This one particular female friend of his (for 20 years) never liked my best friend but they try to be civil around one another.
Anyway, during Easter she had an Easter Egg Hunt for the kids in her home. During the egg hunt, the woman gave out Easter cards to the adults. She said that she had been going through boxes of old photos and made a bunch of copies for everyone and thought she would use this opportunity to pass them out. When they got to the car, he opened up the card to see old photos. In the card was about five photos of him and his ex-fiance. On the back of each photo she wrote little sayings “You and Nikki right after the engagement party. What a lovely couple” “Remember this? Good times” And she addressed the card to him and to my best friend.
Needless to say my best friend is feeling really ticked off and doesn’t know how to respond. Her fiance was turned off by the whole thing and decided that he doesn’t want that kind of friendship anymore but my best friend doesn’t think giving up a 20 year old relationship is the right answer. She thinks they should all talk it out. How would you respond?
How would you respond?
I would of whipped out a can of WHOOP-AZZ on this so-called "friend"....that is for sure!
How low class can a person be? I mean seriously!
Reply:I would talk it out with the fiancé. What this so-called "friend" did is a slap in the face, and I would treat it as such. I agree that throwing out a 20-year-old friendship is not a decision to be made lightly, but if this "friend" slaps a woman you love in the face, you really need to choose between them. Sounds like the guy is making the right choice by sticking with his fiancé.
It's one thing to pass these photos to the person privately, but it's a whole another matter to be so deliberate in your tactlessness. If a friend did this to me, they most likely wouldn't be a friend anymore - I simply would not be comfortable around them.
Reply:It was worse than thoughtless what she did. She might have been a great friend but she has left that job for a new job. *****.
It doesn't matter why but her boyfriend's reaction, leaving it all behind souinds good.

Reply:I think she is very lucky that he looked at things objectively and didn't try to make lame excuses for his friend's rudeness. I think your friend would be wise to follow his lead in cutting off that friendship. After all, nobody would go to those lengths just because they didn't like his fiancee. She has other motives - more selfish motives where he is concerned. He probably knows that deep down there is more to it and he wants it to stop. Why would she want to encourage having such a toxic person in their life?? I think she is asking for trouble by having this woman around. I wouldn't be surprised if she pulled the same crap on Nikki when she was in the picture.
Reply:I MOST DEFINITLY agree with giving up the friendship. That was wayyyyy TOO far to go. That woman crossed a serious line. If the fiance is willing to dump that broad, then your friend should let him. He is taking a stand and he is right!
Reply:If she was his pal of 20 years and he's angry enough to end it than tell your friend to stay out of it. He's made the decision and frankly that was more than a backhanded comment at your friend.
And with 'friends' like that who needs enemies? You can bet that if the friendship continues this woman will do things purposely to target your pal. I would guess even to the point of telling him that your friend is screwing around on her soon to be hubby. Never put something like that past someone who took the time to do something like this little comedy she pulled.
You're dealing with a rattlesnake here. Let the guy end the friendship.
Reply:If I were you I would stay out of it
Reply:Naw the boyfriend is dealing with it the way it should be....She is not excepting the relationship between him and your friend and probably never will and he knows it... So he is dumping her as a friend....Tell her just to fallow her boy toys lead he knows this person better than her and he knows how to handle it....
Reply:Wow, that is bold and nasty. I don't think he should dump her as a friend (your friend is a VERY understanding person). But he does have to put is foot down big time and tell her that if she can't respect his future wife and his life then he will not be able to continue being her friend.
That was a really disrespectful thing she did.
Reply:I would talk it out..
Reply:He has decided that the relationship with the friend of 20 years is toxic. And he has chosen to cut the toxicity out of his life. I say Good for Him and she needs to let him do that.
Reply:i definitely would not give up on a 20 year friendship that's just rediculous...I would sit down, your friend, her fiance, and the best friend and discuss the situation to its entirety...but the fiance is the one that really needs to be doing all of the talking...He needs to set a limit and let his friend know that you may not like my fiance but you will respect her and then if she refuses to do that then i can understand straying away from this friendship...if she can't put those little differences aside she really wasn't a friend to begin with...she was just a nice person that stuck around for 2decades:)
Reply:let thedm meet for a coffe and talk things over...but that was rude of her to give them those old photos...I don't think I could ever like that person ..nor want to be friends with her anymore...
Reply:maybe she's just really ticked off that she couldn't seduce the friend's fiance last week like she did with the old bf.
Reply:I would say that all three of them need to discuss this, and see what his b.f.'s stupid problem is, it is a long friendship so the three should talk it out, BUT sounds to me that after the discussion he should try to keep his distance and focus on his new marriage and new life.
Reply:Get rid of that person! That is NO friend! A real friend would NEVER do something so horrible and tacky. I admire that the guy was offended too! That part is cool if true.
NO do not talk it out with the skank. Your friend and her fiance are MUCH better off without her in their life. She will always cause trouble if she is around. Why would your friend want trouble in her new life?
Reply:Thats harsh! All 3 should sit down and lay down how they feel. If his "best friend" doesn't want to be happy for him then I agree get rid of the friend. 20 years of friendship is what the "best friend" should consider, not your friend. She is getting married and this his their life now. What kind of friend is this girl, she has issues and I would let her go, DRAMA is what it sounds like she is creating and no one likes drama. Good for him to stand beside his girl and good for her for being the bigger person!!!! *****
Reply:well tell your best friend she is being the bigger person and that i know she thinks that if her husband stops the friendship it will be because of her and that the female friend will blame her and that will make your friend look like the bad person but if her husband feels that it wasn't right for her to do that because it can start problems with him and your friend and we all know guys really don't like drama and he wants to respected his wife so the best thing i can say is that they all sit down and tell her that what she is doing isn't right and it is not making the two of them happy and if she doesn't respected his wishes then she wasn't that good of a friend in the first place and that they should cut their loses
Reply:That's really petty and stupid...she just made herself look like an idiot.
I'd do nothing and just let her wallow in her own stupidity.
Reply:wot a f*u*c*k*i*n*g slimy w*h*o*r*e is that so called friend of his.
I think her guy is super sweet to end the friendship..
Reply:He's right. If I had a friend who couldn't accept the fact that I'm with the person I'm with. Then there really isn't a decision to make. She's making it for him. I would tell her though and give her the chance to back off. Maybe just tell her that he enjoys being her friend but if she keeps acting like this he will be forced to end their friendship. Then it's her decision on what happens next.
Reply:You are so good to care so much for your friends..
Reply:I would leave it up to him. It is his friendship, and if he felt betrayed by her immature and cruel acts it's up to him to decide if he wishes to continue the friendship. great to hear that he stuck to his guns and Was offended by these photos w/captions on the back. Sounds like he is True to your best friend and that is awesome!!! Kudos to him!!
Reply:Stay out of their business!
Reply:It really isn't your place, but you should support your best friends finance. She is going to be his wife, that means he is loyal to her now. What his friend did is disrespectful of their relationship and disrespectful of her. He should not continue a relationship with this woman.
Reply:Wow... I would figure it would be your best friend saying they should end it and her bf that was wanting to stay friends. If that was me I would be telling him to drop her... because obvioiusly she is wanting to make your best friend jealous and bring up old feelings about his ex-fiancee. She must like the ex better than your best friend that's for sure. I guess they could try to talk it out... but like isaid I would want him to drop her... or at least take a break from each other before talking about it.
Reply:If they can then I don't see any harm in talking it out. 20 years is a long relationship to just kind of dump. But he has to be willing to do it and so does she. That person owes his fiance an apology big time. What a wench. I don't blame him for being angry. Maybe he needs some time to calm down.

If I bought something from one store, can I return it to a different one?
I received a Wii for easter and I don't want it anymore and they bought it at circuit city but there is not a circuit city around here, could I return it to another store like walmrt or target without the receipt and get a gift card or something? Or will the barcode show it was not from their store?
If I bought something from one store, can I return it to a different one?
They scan all Items into inventory so i believe they would know if it wasn't purchased at their store.
Try telling them that you purchased it at a Walmart in a different city. And see what they say. Take your drivers license with you
Reply:Go to CC web site ask them what to do.
Reply:yes you could the problem is you would get a gift card that is only usable in that particular store. So they do not mind taking it because they know you will spend the money in their store. The problem with some of these stores is they will only give you the lowest sale price from the month
Reply:yes you can, they will know you didnt buy it at that paricular store, but yes you can
Reply:This is unethical since you've had the thing well over any reasonable return period. With that being said, yes you could return it to any store and probably get a gift card. You could probably make more money by selling it on Ebay or listing it in your local paper since Wii are still in short supply in many places.
Reply:They will never know but it is not honest. It is possible that they may have a record of serial numbers but the return desk would not check that. I have always wondered if they could come back a week later and ask for the money back.
Reply:The numbers wouldn't match up so unless you want to look like an idiot, don't do it. Find a Circuit City in another town, go there, return, simple as that. Driving the distance will be worth that kind of cash. OR sell it on ebay.

Similar circumstances for Easter?
In laws live 10 minutes from us. Haven't seen them for 3 months myself, but husband does.The amount of efforts I have done for her, haven't even done for my own family who live away. Easter's round the corner, and got a present - chocolages and card to send with the husband. Have you had any experience like this not seing your in laws for those special days of Easter? I am tired to make efforts for Christmases and Easters and whenever visiting her own house, I get the sarcastic, critical dominant and opinionated crititisism, I am too young to loose my hair for her who does nothing else but treats me like a ****! For me, she's always looked like ****, but I still respected her. I am too tired to do so now.
Similar circumstances for Easter?
Can't help you on this one except to say you can not select your in-laws and family, but thank God you can pick your friends.

We didn't get to go home every year...so most of the holidays over those years were spent with his family. I did 90% of the work, cooking, always did the cleaning up ...no matters who's house it was....she always found a way to get out of it...hosted them at my house a little more than 1/2 the time! Her house was always a disaster....and the rest of the family (his brothers and their families) would ask to have it at our house....there was more room and more to entertain the kids, and clean. I bent over backwards to make holidays great....I love to host and love to cook, so I didn't mind....but I did mind when I got nothing but critism or I wasn't making what she thought I should make or we were eating too early or too late in her opinion...something was always wrong...and yeah, it made me bitter because I would have rather have been home with my family who I know would not have found fault with everything! We have since moved back home closer to my family...and we are all happier....even her son! I'm not saying you have to move, but you deserve to be able to enjoy the true meaning of the holiday and your family...not what she dishes out to you!

Easter Basket for my 17-1/2 Year Old Son?
My son is 17-1/2 years old and I have NO idea what to put in his Easter basket this year. I don't want to spend more than $20 or so. (I've already gotten a $20 Walmart gift card and a $20 McDonalds gift card.) Now, I just need some little inexpensive things to put in his basket.
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!

Go traditional, like he was a little boy again. Get him a chocolate easter bunny, jelly beans, you name it . Sugar!

Reply:What do teenagers like? You could put in some "mature" candy, like Snickers bars or even Snickers eggs. Include a colored egg or two. You might include some gum or mints, boxes of raisins, mixed nuts, and even some small toiletries like after shave. You might also include a minibook about a subject he likes, or an inexpensive DVD from a dollar store or drugstore.
Happy Easter! He is risen!
Reply:a couple of c.d's and heaps more choc...........lollies..........gummy bears..........
Reply:I think you should have kind of a throw-back to his old Easter baskets when he was little. Chocolate bunny, plastic Easter eggs with jelly beans, and anything else he liked when he was little.
When I was a senior in high school, my English class had an Easter egg hunt, and it was hilarious to see these big brawny football guys with their Easter baskets (the biggest guy in the class actually brought the lace-lined one his mom made him when he was a toddler). It's kind of a guilty pleasure at that age, to enjoy the traditions from when you were little.
Other than that, you could put things like favorite snack foods (my husband and I make up Easter baskets for each other, as well as our kids, and he always has the little cans of Pringles chips and that kind of thing.
Reply:My son is 34 and in his last Easter basket I put some gift cards in and then because he is a mechanic I found a doll house tool box and some little tools. to add to the basket with some jelly beans.
He actually liked the doll house mechanic things. Some doll house items are really inexpensive and they are just plan cute.

Easter gift from in-laws was cut off chocolate bunny head only!!! No card, no gift, just a gnawed off head!?
I was sick on Easter, so I was not able to go with my husband to my in-laws. They had a big chocolate bunny and ate most of it, but decided to save the head of it for me.
Have you ever received such a present?
They weren't trying to be funny; they wanted to share Easter with me somehow, I guess this was their way!
Easter gift from in-laws was cut off chocolate bunny head only!!! No card, no gift, just a gnawed off head!?
I've never received a gift like that.
Although I would prefer receiving my own personal chocolate bunny for Easter, chocolate is chocolate and as long as there were no actual teeth marks on the gnawed off head I would have just laughed and enjoyed it.
Did it have those colored sugary eyes too? If it did and they gave them to you then you got the lion's share of the rabbit. ;)
Reply:Heh,heh....thats twisted. It certainally is an interesting way to share Easter with someone, thats for sure.
Well...look at it this way dear. Better to receive a gnawed on chocolate bunny head than a shruken one. Now THAT would send a message wouldn't it?
Reply:Maybe they're cheapskates and didn't want you to get your own bunny?
Reply:lucky you my present was eating with my in-laws
Reply:I don't know, I think that maybe it was a sign, but only you know what kind of people they are maybe it was a genuine gift. just call them and thank them, try to get back on their good side. I've never received a gift like that, but my children got chocolate bunnies for Easter and they ate the rest of the bunny except for the head so it probably isn't nothing, but i usually eat the head first then the body.
Reply:That is an awesome Easter gift.
Reply:ouch thats bad do u like them or do they not like you thats hard..... uhmmm and no i didnt get any in law preents im not even engaged but thanks for answering my question i retured u the love
Reply:Guess that was their way of including you when you couldn't be there. Let it go, not worth trying to figure it out, sometimes you just gotta say oh well, toss the bunny head and go on. Look at it this way, at least they are sorta interesting, good story to tell your friends when you are all talking about in laws.
Reply:You weren't sick ! Stop lying !! Your in-laws know your lying too. Psssh..... Please ! No one wants to be around their in-laws.. And you use the cheapest.. Most lame excuse ??? Just for that reason alone, you deserve them being mad at you.

Regardless of how tasteless any gift may be, etiquette requires that one should still submit a note or thank-you card.
So buy them a 50 cent thank you card, tear it in half, and cheerfully give it to your inlaws.
Reply:I guess just be thankful they didn't save you the other end - ya know??
Reply:i think they like you loads. and missed your company.
Reply:maybe they think the head is the best part so they saved it for you. Not everyone gives presents on Easter its not Christmas. I wouldn't expect anything maybe your over analyzing.
Reply:Maybe you are mistaken... about their intentions.
Since the huge Easter bunny was meant to be shared... thus leaving the bunny's head for you is considered a huge respect from your in-laws.
I am kinda superstitious myself. I always encourage my partner to eat the HEAD of gingerbread man, animal pastries etc... while i eat the tail.
The Head represents top, 1st... etc... of cos I hope the very best for my partner.
I remembered my parents eating the tail of the fish or parts that we kids would not fancy... thus leaving us with all the juicy and fleshy parts to gnaw.
Reply:At least it was a chocolate bunny, not a real one.
Reply:No I never had a gift like that. I don't know what to make of it. I mean if they wanted to share Easter with you and give you a gift, it should have been the whole bunny. Not just a gnawed off head. Sound like your in-laws are the Addams Family !!! And I take it your hubby brought this gnawed off head home from the in-laws. Are you sure he didn't eat the rest of the bunny on the way home? lol
Reply:never had one like that ,but i don't think they like you so sad
Reply:I would have to say no...Sounds kinda sweet...unless they put it under your pillow LOL Hope you are feeling better.
Reply:sounds like a watered-down verson of the horse-head-in-the-bed trick from the Godfather.....
Reply:Not sure its polite to get head on Easter
Reply:I must admit that this gesture of your in-laws made me laugh to tears!
I do not believe they had any intention of being rude or something. Do not consider it as a "present", rather a share of their getting all together.
Maybe because you were sick, you were quite vulnerable and overcritical. See the good (and funny!) side of the whole matter. Next Easter you give them half chocolate egg!
Reply:They should have sent you the bunny's butt since you obviously can't see they were trying to be thoughtful and send you some chocolate candy to make you feel better and let you know you were thought of and missed on this special day.
Reply:at least it was not a horses' head in the bed
Reply:No, no i can't say that I have. But ya know, my opinion is that you should sit down have a nice little heart-to-heart with your inlaws. I am not one to judge, but I think your in-laws have some serious issues with you. Or you know, they just are extremely inconsiderate.
Reply:Oh my God, that's funny!!!!! Didn't you laugh???
I'm sorry you were sick. If I got a gnawed-off bunny head I'm not sure I'd feel any better . . . .
Mabe they were trying to make you laugh???
In-laws take some getting used to, yo.
Reply:at least they gave you the head and not the butt part.
Reply:I think that easter isn't really a gift giving holiday -- and that anything should be appreciated -- do they not like you at all? If they do then just take it as they were thinking of you by giving you the rest of desert.
Reply:It sounds like they may not be your biggest fan or they were offended you didn't show up. Have you guys been married long? Although I never received the "gnawed head" as a gift, I've gotten some other lame gifts through out the last 5 years. The gifts got better when we got closer as a family.
Reply:No and I think that is very inconsiderate of ur husband. ~SMACK, SMACK~ ;-)
Reply:No. I don't know if that was good or bad. What type of people are your in-laws? Funny, humorous and light-hearted folks?
OR
Sarcastic, negative, harmful types?
What did your husband say about it? Do you feel it was a scary or funny gift? Make some notes, sit down with your hubby and ask him what his parents had in mind by sending the severed head of a chocolate bunny.
Reply:no but that sounds quirky and adorable.
Reply:Oh my gosh..thats awful, but , at least you didnt have to go to their house and ruin you day!! Think of it that way!! You could always cut off the edges and eat the rest of the bunny too..unless you are afraid that they licked it..then I would just be happy that you didnt have to spend time with them!,,I hope you are feeling better today!
Reply:No but that's either hysterical or scarey...you must decide!
Reply:HAhahahaha, that's funny!
Reply:My sister gave my wife a plastic water pitcher once. It was used too. Classy
Reply:I think they were probably just sending home some chocolate for you. Don't take it too seriously, besides, its kind of funny. But I don't know you're in laws or what kind of sense of humor they have. Have a good one.
Reply:It actually sounds funny! I mean at least they were thinking of you while you were not present! I mean easter gifts for adults are not commonly exchanged anyways so I wouldn't feel miffed on not getting a gift, it's not Christmas anyways. I would just be happy they thought of you!

Easter Basket for my 17-1/2 Year Old Son?
My son is 17-1/2 years old and I have NO idea what to put in his Easter basket this year. I don't want to spend more than $20 or so. (I've already gotten a $20 Walmart gift card and a $20 McDonalds gift card.) Now, I just need some little inexpensive things to put in his basket.
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!
Easter Basket for my 17-1/2 Year Old Son?
I agree, your children are never too old for an Easter basket. I'm 42 years old and my parents still send stuff for Easter. Along with the Walmart card and McDonald's card, I think I'd put in some candy and maybe a few toiletries. Hope he enjoys!!!
Reply:I still give my adult children a basket, too. My oldest boy usually gets some money, a candy stash, and a t-shirt or magazine/book.
Reply:I am 21 and I make easter baskets for my very good friends back home
CDs, snack food, socks, every type of candy, a kaychain, a DVD, whatever you think he would like and need
Reply:Candy would always be nice and cheap to be fillers. Batteries for his CD player, DVD's , CD'S, deck of cards, games, on the road games, some shades. If he's into shoes then shoelaces and shoe cleaners. Almost anything is possible just depending on what he likes. :)
And to the person above, no 17 1/2 is not too old for an easter basket. I'm 17 and every year so far [and planning to do it this year] I've made baskets for all my friends and also recieved baskets from my older sister. Easter isn't just for kids and it doesn't just have to be candy. It's a time for having a good time with the people you love.
Reply:This is actually a very good question. Mine are 18 and 19 and I dont know what to put in there either! I do know its time to down size the huge baskets Ive been using for years!!
Not much but candy to put in for 20$ though. My son loves cologne and its 65$ a bottle! The little stinker...actually he smells very nice LOL
You could put small things for his car. Air freshener or whatever. Gum, I always do sugar free gum, dental floss and a tooth brush for Easter as well. Gotta love those pearly whites!
Take care, you sound like a super mom and I wish they were all like you....I know I am!
=)
Ya know all the people here putting you down for being a good mom to your son, I bet ALL of them would be tickled pink if someone thought enough of them to put together a cute basket on Easter. Whats wrong with thinking of someone? Or loving your child? LOL Some people need to just relax....or become mothers themselves.
Reply:you are like me i still give my teens an Easter basket and i give on to my b/f i put in things like
music Cd's
gift cards
movies
jewelry
key chains
collectibles (dragon,star wars figures) what ever the child is into
collator cards
i hope these ideas help
Reply:my son enjoys getting little snacks he can take with him in his gym bag or when he goes to play golf. consider some single serve bags of chips or some energy bars. bags of nuts or sunflower seeds are also good.
chocolate bunnies are essential. we also give the marshmallow peeps.
we also give joke gifts like wild ties and sox that don't match anything.
one year, as a joke, I gave the traditional candy and stuff but tucked in a new toothbrush! It was a cartoon character electric/battery brush and it was a hit with the whole family (sort of a "eat your candy, but be sure and brush" thing)
and, by the way, 17 year old boys need to be loved.
there isn't an age at which showing love is inappropriate - so fill up that basket!!
Reply:just get him some candy and maybe a gag gift.... or like an inexpensive comp/game system (play station, x box, ect.) game.... some r pretty cheap..... if u have a store called "five below" near u go there..... they have gag gifts and comp games all for $5 or less......
Reply:The gift cards are great ideas, my mom used to put money and phone cards in mine. Also candy is something you are never to old for!!!
Also if he has a sense of humor get him a match box car. He may find it cute.
Reply:you know... i have an 18 year old brother and he was 17 last year and he was just like whatever about it.... same as christmas. lol. but maybe your son is different. but i agree with candy! my boyfriend is 23 and he still loves candy as gifts. in fact, thats about the only thing i even get a reaction to. i gave him a jacket as a gift and i know he liked it, but he leaned toward the candy alot faster! lol! the second girls answer is good!
DONT FORGET THE EASTER EGGS! hehee
Reply:hey i am 22 and my mother still gives me one!! i love them, she just puts candy and a stuffed bunny in it like she always has. i am a candy junkie so that might be why she never changed it:) it's smaller than it used to be but i love i just the same peanut butter eggs mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.............................
Reply:Candy, movie tickets, car magazines, books if he likes to read, sun glasses, a basketball, if he plays sports get him some sports gear, a deck of cards, a gift certificate for gas or car cleaning, money.
I got an easter basket up until I was like 17 too, I loved it!!
Reply:r u crazy? dat boy is too old 2 b tryna have an easter basket. um when r u gon let him grow up???????
Reply:Hey You know as a father, I love giving gifts to my kids. We still celebrate Easter, one thing I will put in an Easter Basket when I give them either to my son who is 25 or to a member of my church. A Small Bible is a great addition to the Easter Basket. Jesus is the real reason we celebrate Easter because he was the gift for all of us and he arose from the grave on the third day and ascended into Heaven. He gave up his life so we may have life. Find a copy of the Easter Story and give that to him. God Be With You.
Reply:Agreed that was very rude....I am 18 years old and I love getting Easter Baskets. So yes you are doing the right thing good for you!!!!!!
Anyway, stick to the basics, bring the old with the new.....i love it when my mom gives me candy that i grew up with its the best thing ever.....hehe maybe a gift card or wrapped small gift!!! if he is respectful and loves you don't be afriad of looking silly...he won't make fun of you!!!
Reply:I the gift certificates are a great idea! Batteries too. He might also like something personal from you. Make him a small scrapbook of him and his friends, or burn a CD of his favorite songs.
Reply:17 is definately too OLD for an Easter basket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just give him the gift cards and move on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Once my grand daughters reach 13 - the Easter baskets will end.

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!
Easter Basket for my 17-1/2 Year Old Son?
I agree, your children are never too old for an Easter basket. I'm 42 years old and my parents still send stuff for Easter. Along with the Walmart card and McDonald's card, I think I'd put in some candy and maybe a few toiletries. Hope he enjoys!!!
Reply:I still give my adult children a basket, too. My oldest boy usually gets some money, a candy stash, and a t-shirt or magazine/book.
Reply:I am 21 and I make easter baskets for my very good friends back home
CDs, snack food, socks, every type of candy, a kaychain, a DVD, whatever you think he would like and need
Reply:Candy would always be nice and cheap to be fillers. Batteries for his CD player, DVD's , CD'S, deck of cards, games, on the road games, some shades. If he's into shoes then shoelaces and shoe cleaners. Almost anything is possible just depending on what he likes. :)
And to the person above, no 17 1/2 is not too old for an easter basket. I'm 17 and every year so far [and planning to do it this year] I've made baskets for all my friends and also recieved baskets from my older sister. Easter isn't just for kids and it doesn't just have to be candy. It's a time for having a good time with the people you love.
Reply:This is actually a very good question. Mine are 18 and 19 and I dont know what to put in there either! I do know its time to down size the huge baskets Ive been using for years!!
Not much but candy to put in for 20$ though. My son loves cologne and its 65$ a bottle! The little stinker...actually he smells very nice LOL
You could put small things for his car. Air freshener or whatever. Gum, I always do sugar free gum, dental floss and a tooth brush for Easter as well. Gotta love those pearly whites!
Take care, you sound like a super mom and I wish they were all like you....I know I am!
=)
Ya know all the people here putting you down for being a good mom to your son, I bet ALL of them would be tickled pink if someone thought enough of them to put together a cute basket on Easter. Whats wrong with thinking of someone? Or loving your child? LOL Some people need to just relax....or become mothers themselves.
Reply:you are like me i still give my teens an Easter basket and i give on to my b/f i put in things like
music Cd's
gift cards
movies
jewelry
key chains
collectibles (dragon,star wars figures) what ever the child is into
collator cards
i hope these ideas help
Reply:my son enjoys getting little snacks he can take with him in his gym bag or when he goes to play golf. consider some single serve bags of chips or some energy bars. bags of nuts or sunflower seeds are also good.
chocolate bunnies are essential. we also give the marshmallow peeps.
we also give joke gifts like wild ties and sox that don't match anything.
one year, as a joke, I gave the traditional candy and stuff but tucked in a new toothbrush! It was a cartoon character electric/battery brush and it was a hit with the whole family (sort of a "eat your candy, but be sure and brush" thing)
and, by the way, 17 year old boys need to be loved.
there isn't an age at which showing love is inappropriate - so fill up that basket!!
