Invitations have already been mailed for my bridal shower. One of my bridesmaids is now offering to host another shower for me. I'd love to have a lingerie shower, but I invited almost all my female friends to the bridal shower. Is it wrong to have a lingerie shower in addition to the bridal shower and invite some of the same women to both? Would it be appropriate to indicate that a gift is not necessary at the lingerie shower?

Exercise 2-15A Averaging Costs L.O. 6

Sparta Camps, Inc., leases the land on which it builds camp sites. Sparta is considering opening a new site on land that requires $3,000 of rental payment per month. The variable cost of providing service is expected to be $4 per camper. The following chart shows the number of campers Sparta expects for the first year of operation of the new site.

Jan. 200, Feb. 150, Mar. 300, Apr. 300, May 300, june 500, july 700, aug 750, sep 450, oct 250, nov 50, dec 250, total 4,200

Assuming that Sparta wants to earn $10 per camper, determine the price it should charge for a camp site in February and August.

Computation of Fixed Cost Per Unit:

Land Cost Per Camper = 2000$ ×12 / 4,100 = 5.85

Price = ?

I know an adapter existed, but Mamiya has not made a 35mm camera in over 20 years, so accessories for them are very hard to find.

Recently I've heard my co-workers talking about Global Warming. At first I was just nodding along with the conversation not really knowing what the deal was. So I decided to get informed. I read the wikipedia article and I was appalled! Ever since that day I've been running my airconditioner 24/7 with the windows open throughout the house trying to help with the problem. I just wish that there was more that I could do. What all are you guys doing to help and what are other ways that I can help? The earth is very important to me and I want it to be around for my kids, and my kid'd kids! Why isn't our government doing more?

Is this ridiculous belief that God placed dinosaur bones under the earth as a test actually a widely held belief??

If not how do these nutters explain the existence of dinosaur bones?

Also, the belief in "Creationism". Do people actually believe this and how do they get around the proof of evolution?

How Did We Ever Survive Our Childhood?

My Mom used to cut chicken, chop eggs and spread mayo on the same cutting board with the same knife and no bleach, but we didn't seem to get food poisoning.

My Mom used to defrost hamburger on the counter AND I used to eat it raw sometimes too, but I can't remember getting E-coli.

Almost all of us would have rather gone swimming in the lake instead of a pristine pool (talk about boring).

The term cell phone would have conjured up a phone in a jail cell, and a pager was the school PA system.

We all took gym, not PE ... and risked permanent injury with a pair of high top Ked's (only worn in gym) instead of having cross-training athletic shoes with air cushion soles and built in light reflectors. I can't recall any injuries but they must have happened because they tell us how much safer we are now. Flunking gym was not an option ... even for stupid kids! I guess PE must be much harder than gym.

Every year, someone taught the whole school a lesson by running in the halls with leather soles on linoleum tile and hitting the wet spot. How much better off would we be today if we only knew we could have sued the school system.

Speaking of school, we all said prayers and sang the national anthem and staying in detention after school caught all sorts of negative attention. We must have had horribly damaged psyches. I can't understand it. Schools didn't offer 14 year olds an abortion or condoms (we wouldn't have known what either was anyway) but they did give us a couple of baby aspirin and cough syrup if we started getting the sniffles.

What an archaic health system we had then. Remember school nurses? Ours wore a hat and everything.

I thought that I was supposed to accomplish something before I was allowed to be proud of myself.

I just can't recall how bored we were without computers, PlayStation, Nintendo, X-box or 270 digital cable stations.

I must be repressing that memory as I try to rationalize through the denial of the dangers could have befallen us as we trekked off each day about a mile down the road to some guy's vacant 20, built forts out of branches and pieces of plywood, made trails, and fought over who got to be the Lone Ranger. What was that property owner thinking, letting us play on that lot? He should have been locked up for not putting up a fence around the property, complete with a self-closing gate and an infrared intruder alarm.

Oh yeah... and where was the Benadryl and sterilization kit when I got that bee sting? I could have been killed!

We played king of the hill on piles of gravel left on vacant construction sites and when we got hurt, Mom pulled out the 48 cent bottle of Mercurochrome and then we got our butt spanked. Now it's a trip to the emergency room, followed by a 10-day dose of a $49 bottle of antibiotics and then Mom calls the attorney to sue the contractor for leaving a horribly vicious pile of gravel where it was such a threat.

We didn't act up at the neighbor's house either because if we did, we got our butt spanked (physical abuse) there too ... and then we got our butt spanked again when we got home.

Mom invited the door to door salesman inside for coffee, kids choked down the dust from the gravel driveway while playing with Tonka trucks (Remember why Tonka trucks were made tough...it wasn't so that they could take the rough Berber in the family room), and Dad drove a car with leaded gas.

Our music had to be left inside when we went out to play and I am sure that I nearly exhausted my imagination a couple of times when we went on two week vacations. I should probably sue the folks now for the danger they put us in when we all slept in campgrounds in the family tent.

Summers were spent behind the push lawn mower and I didn't even know that mowers came with motors until I was 13 and we got one without an automatic blade-stop or an auto-drive.

How sick were my parents? Of course my parents weren't the only psychos. I recall Donny Reynolds from next door coming over and doing his tricks on the front stoop just before he fell off. Little did his Mom know that she could have owned our house. Instead she picked him up and swatted him for being such a goof. It was a neighborhood run amuck.

To top it off, not a single person I knew had ever been told that they were from a dysfunctional family. How could we possibly have known that we needed to get into group therapy and anger management classes?

We were obviously duped by so many societal ills, that we didn't even notice that the entire country wasn't taking Prozac!

I have neighbors who have these campers and they are a little
higher than our 6' wood fence. One day I was standing by
my big tree looking to see if the raccoon was coming over
the fence. I see the neighbor looking back at me as he was
on top of his camper. I have no desire to see what he is
doing. I would call the Police if I heard a burglar alarm in
the area though. Otherwise, I think it's best to keep to
myself in my neighborhood, especially with the robberies
going on. Are you chummy with your neighbors?

Should I not be too hard on people who stumble? I have a good friend in my PETA group that still likes to drink milk. She claims that she does not like soy milk and states she only uses organic free range milk. I think this is still wrong and she should not be in our group as her actions are not very moral.

I am 24 and have been self-consious ever since I had my little boy 8 years ago.
Self Consious about how much my body changed and my breasts, my stretch marks.. You name it.
I feel like I am pushing my boyfriend away cause I don't want him to see me naked or etc...
He tells me to get over it, and he loves my body.
I except this but I just feel like I can't come out of my 8 year shell that I have been in. Would it be better to talk to somebody about this.?. I have been crying every night.
