I am having my first baby. I am trying to decide what I need and what I don't need.
1. I am single. I am in major financial debt.
2. I have high stress and frequently get stressed out or anxious. I want to have things that will help me take care of the baby in the easiest possible way, since I have no one to help me at all... no family, no friends, father is gone.
3. Since I am in major financial debt, I want to get things that will be of good use for a long time. I don't want to waste money on something that will be no good after 3 months.
That being said.... How long will a swing last if it only holds 25 lbs? How old will the baby be when it becomes 25 lbs?
Infant car seats... I saw that they only go up to 30 lbs. Would it be a smarter idea to get one of those convertible seats which hold up to 60 lbs?
Does anyone have any tips for maximizing my money for the baby? What things do I need? What things will I not need? What things are a total waste of money??

I am preparing a simple beef stew/soup in my crockpot and am curious the best way to thicken it up a bit. I know flour can do this, but am curious as to how much and when exactly to add the flour, should I do this at the start or the middle or closer to the end.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

I heard that if you read the Bible from i.e. England, that you'll find the words in the Bible different from a Bible in i.e Mexico.
Are the words different?
I know that all the Qurans in the world have the SAME word for word of writing, no matter what Quarn you read.
Is this the same for the Bible? are all of the bibles the same word for word?

An old lady walks into a plastic surgeon's office and tells him she wants a facelift. He says "Well, we have three models. The first is for $1000 and is guaranteed for one year, the second is $3000 and is guaranteed for 3 years and the last is $5000 and it is guaranteed for 5 years."
The old lady says "Well tell me about them."

The doctor says, "For $1000 you are going to get a half-*** job that you pay very little for."

She responds, "Forget that one, what about the next one."

He explains, "For $3000 we do a much better job and pay close attention to detail, but it is only guaranteed for 3 years."

The lady says, "No, that's no good either, what about the last one."

The doctor replies, "For $5000 you are going to get the best facelift with a feature that is on the cutting edge of plastic surgery. There will be a screw attached to the back of your head and if you notice your face sagging, just come back in and we will tighten the screw."

The lady is delighted and has the surgery. About 6 months later she comes back to the office very upset. "Doctor, I want my money back because I look horrible. Look at these bags under my eyes!"

The doctor leans back in his chair and says, "Lady you aren't getting anything back. Those bags under your eyes are your **** and if you keep messing with that screw, you're going to have a mustache."

I have a 10 year old son and recently he's been telling me I treat him like a baby.

I really don't. I put him to bed at 9:00. I let him make his clothing descisons and I give him $10 a week for an allowence just like his younger brother and older sister. I'm a single parent and he has no male influlence at all. I am trying too get him into the Big Brother program.

What should I say whenever he claims I treat him like a baby? Should I really treat him like one? I have a 8 month old girl and he knows how babies are treated. HELP!

She just mysteriously bacame pregnant with Jesus without the joy of trying.
How cruel is that? Or maybe she just told Joseph that because really she was cheating on him after he had the snip.
What do you think?

Which brand of cholesterol meds had the commercial with an older guy, walking by a swimming pool, while all the ladies laying out at the pool watch him walk by googly-eyed? The guy dives off a diving board and makes a big splash, causing the ladies to lose interest. His cholesterol level was high apparently.
In another commercial, a "celebrity" arrives in a limo, flashbulbs go off, and she walks down the red carpet, eventually fainting.
Anyone??
