Dog to a good home

2009-02-02T16:43:00.001-08:00

We are trying to find a good home for this female Mastiff dog. Someone foreclosed on their house and lefther in the backyard. She has been very good with our kids (10, 8, and 4)the last couple of days we have had her. We think she was an inside dog, but I am sure can be trained to be an outside dog. She is very mild mannered and a sweet dog. She likes to be around people and is very playful. We would love to keep her because she is such a good dog but we already have 2 large male dogs.
Please call me if you would like to come see her or if you have any questions

Donate to Baby Jersey

2009-01-07T21:22:00.000-08:00

Our good friends lost their sweet Jersey girl on Monday. She was 6 weeks old. She was born with no pulmonary valve and a hole in her heart. She had open heart surgery at 1 week old but failed kidneys is what took her. One can only imagine the pain of losing a child and then stressing about the financial burden as well. If anyone feels inclined to help, a paypal account has been set up in Jerseys name for donations. You can follow this link below or contact me directly. Thank you so much, I know they really appreciate it.

Kisses for Callie

Hello family and friends! As many of you know, Jarrett's cousin's 20 month old daughter Callie was backed over by a car driven by a family friend a couple of weeks ago. She is still in the hospital with a long road ahead. As an upcoming Evening in Excellence Value project, Brittany has chosen to organize and run a benefit yard sale with the proceeds going to Callie. I am asking that you please spread the word via emails, word of mouth and this website http://kissesforcallie.blogspot.com/ If you have a blog, please put it on there. My Spaces are great, flyers, or just word of mouth! Please take the opportunity to do some 'fall cleaning' as well. Clean out your closets and donate your items to a great cause! There is also a link on the blog if you would like to make a monetary donation. We are also graciously accepting new items, or donations of services that we are hoping to auction off on the website, or they will be offered at the yard sale at a special table to bring in a higher level of donation. Thanks again for your love, support and prayers!-Lisa McNeil

We have a very cute hall bench and end table that we just don't have room for. If you want them, they're yours! Fred can even bring them by for you. It kills me to get rid of the hall bench, but we just can't seem to squeeze it anywhere in the new house :(

The dimensions of the hall bench are 71" tall, 41" wide, 18" deep

The dimensions of the end table are 22" square by 21" tall

Please be careful if you go to the AJ Pool in the next few weeks. We were there today and a little girl got seriously hurt on the water slide (the red, tube one to be specific). She hit her head somewhere inside the slide and came out unresponsive into the water. She was transported to the hospital by ambulance. It is very likely she had suffered a concussion. After speaking to an adult friend of the girl's family (they were sitting just next to us on the grass), the woman said pool staff said the same thing happened just YESTERDAY too! There appears to be a dangerous curve in the slide that, if hit at the right angle, kids have been bumping their heads. The slide was closed for the rest of today and hopefully until they can get it fixed. Please just be careful!

Formula

2008-05-06T17:59:00.000-07:00

Hi! One of my friends just had a baby. Her mom came to visit from Mexico to help out and brought all these huge cans of Enfamil formula for the new grandbaby. Turns out, the baby has problems digesting the Enfamil- so my friend (the mom) would like to sell them and use the money to buy other formula. Apparently you are not allowed to return items in mexico like you can here in the United States. so...if you are interested- please contact me at karebear_f2@hotmail.com the formula: the pink colored canister is 900 grams which equals 32 oz. It is the exact same formula of Enfamil with iron (notice the mead johnson label on the side) it is just in spanish. it has never been opened, and it expires in 2010. it is meant for infant age up to 6 months. the purple canister is also 900 grams which equals 32 oz. it is the same formula of Enfamil with Iron. it is meant for 6 months of age up to 1 year. ( i assume in mexico they automatically begin adding the other nutrients that our Enfamil one year+ canisters have for the toddler stage). it expires in 2010. These are coming from a smoke free LDS (mormon) home. each canister will be $30.00 i have one canister of the pink and one of the purple. and just if you're curious- target's 25.7 oz canisters are $25.60 which is $0.99 per ounce. Costco's 38 oz canisters are $32.49 which is $0.85 per ounce. so these 32 oz canisters that we want to sell at $30 each would mean $0.93 per ounce.

Any cat lovers?

2008-05-02T09:23:00.000-07:00

We have had our third baby and are busier than ever. Roxy and Dyna deserve better- more attention.
Roxy is a striped dark tabby. she is about 3 1/2 years old. She is current on shots, she is micro chipped, and she is spayed. She loves to play in the water and will sleep on your pillow occasionally and at the side of your bed most times. I adopted her the fall of 2006 from a wonderful loving home after losing our second child to a chromosome problem. I drove over two hours to go pick her up and have loved her every minute since then. She helped me tremendously through my mourning.
Dyna is a pure white cat that I adopted from a 'cat infested' home. She was overrun with ear mites and had no medical attention whatsoever. I healed her up and made her healthy. She is due for her next set of shots. She is also spayed and micro chipped. she is about 1 1/2 years old. I adopted her because my previous white cat had passed away from a type of cancer and Roxy was crying for weeks because Roxy didn't have her 'friend'. Both cats are tremendously wonderful with kids. Both cats have all their claws but have been indoor cats their entire lives. I request that they continue to be indoor cats for the sake of their safety and health. I am TRYING MY BEST to re-home them TOGETHER for FREE!. please contact me at karebear_f2@hotmail.com

Sleep a little better tonight.....

2008-04-01T15:32:00.000-07:00

This was in the Tribune last week and we wanted everyone to know about it if you hadnt heard about it yet. To be completely honest, there was a picture of him in the newspaper and he is a normal looking 24 year old. That makes it even worse. You cant be too sure now a days.

A suspected serial child molester was arrested near Queen Creek on Wednesday night after one of his alleged victims spotted him at a park and neighbors chased him down, authorities said.
Pinal County Sheriff Chris Vazquez said Matthew Alan Clack, 24, was arrested by deputies after a 13-year-old victim from a July molestation and attempted kidnapping case recognized Clack at a Pecan Creek neighborhood park and yelled out "that’s him."
"When she did, several citizens went in a foot chase of him — chasing him in and around houses," he said. "They dialed 911 and after a very fast response time from deputies in that area, we were able to help the citizens to apprehend Clack."
Over the summer, a series of molestations and attempted kidnappings took place in the Castlegate and Pecan Creek neighborhoods in an unincorporated area east of Queen Creek.
"Ever since the initial incident happened in July the community has really been on alert," Vasquez said. "They can now, I believe, breathe a sigh of relief that a child predator is no longer roaming the streets."
Clack may be responsible for at least five attempted or actual molestations in the Johnson Ranch, Queen Creek and Mesa areas, Vasquez said.
"Based on our interview with him, he admitted that he does have a serious problem, and he admitted to as many as five attempts or actual molestations," he said.
Clack was booked into Pinal County Jail on felony charges of sexual assault and attempted kidnapping for the July case.
Dena Larsen, the blockwatch coordinator for Pecan Creek, said she got goose bumps when she heard about the arrest.
"The fact that there was an arrest made, solidified to me, that we do have dangerous things happening out there, and we can’t turn a blind eye," she said. "I’m glad there’s another person off the street that’s causing harm."
Larsen, a mother of two young girls, said she hopes some residents in the area see this as an "eye-opener" because she’s seen little supervision of children in the neighborhood.
"Parents need to look at what is lurking out there," she said. "There is a risk, and it’s right here in our own backyard."
Vasquez called this case "a prime example of a community working together with law enforcement" and said neighbors who helped catch Clack "should be proud of themselves."
Vasquez said his department, along with other agencies, are trying to track down others Clack may have attacked. Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Lisa Swinton at (520) 866-5149.

Rent to own

2008-03-17T22:50:00.000-07:00

We're looking to rent out our house. We would love to do a rent-to-own with a family who needs it (perhaps rent it while they are building their credit up to buy it). It's a 5-bdrm 3-bath 2800 square foot home with a great lot and a pool. Did I mention the theater room (YES, the equipment will stay for you! woo hoo) We're downsizing (we're even staying in the ward!!) and we know that selling is tough right now. But if anyone knows someone who is looking to rent.... please pass us along! As for a monthly payment, we're pretty much only going to ask to cover our mortgage and HOA fees. You can view pictures at http://buyowner.com/ARZ1750.html

Give Fred or Jeanette a call to talk about the details. 480-655-5919

Any sewers out there?

2008-03-07T21:40:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone

I was just wondering if you could pass on this email to other sisters or perhaps just ask around if anyone would be willing to help a highschool girl make a prom dress. I work with her and she is not a member however she is having a hard time finding a dress and thought if she paid someone to make it she would be happier. She already has the pattern and has the material picked out. If you know of anyone who makes dresses please let me know:)

A favor to ask, it only takes a minute....

Please tell ten friends to tell ten today! The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on "donating a mammogram" for free (pink window in the middle). This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammogram in exchange for advertising. Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know. http://www.thebreastcancersite.com.

Thanks,

I wanted to let anyone who was interested know that I have a Costco playpen that I only used maybe twice and a Fisher Price Take Along swing we used for maybe 2 months that we want to get rid of. No money, just want someone who can use them to take them.

Thanks, Jenn

IntenSati-cant wait to try it!

2008-02-06T13:30:00.000-08:00

I wanted to pass on something I "stumbled" across, and feel is so amazing. A lady named Patricia Moreno, a fitness instructor, has created something called IntenSati. It's a high energy/cardio workout that is amazing. (& it's easy to follow, because even I got the hang of it and did it!) It combines martial arts, exercise, yoga and spoken meditation. I will simply say this: It's POWERFUL. I can't explain how powerful the spoken meditation is...combining a workout with spoken positive intentions- it feels amazing! I highly recommend spending the $12-15 on this DVD :-} The website is: www.intensati.com and the DVD is: 'Intention & Power: A high energy workout for Body, Mind & Soul' (I bought mine at Sprouts, but I found it later on Amazon.com for $12.99)
A side note: I am not even one for DVD's, I would much rather take my 10 mile bike ride to workout-- but this DVD is sweet. Your mind will crave it! If you focus like it intends you to focus, you will feel, and release, and love, and intend, and become! I can't think of a better workout, than one that puts your mind and spirit into a peaceful state as you do. And I can't imagine anyone not loving this. I wake up every morning and can't wait to do it. Something helpful, if you have little kiddos, do it early morning, or after you put kids to bed - you need to be able to focus on it.
ENJOY!

Who knew that bread ties make a difference?

2008-02-01T15:30:00.000-08:00

When you go to buy bread in the grocery store, have you ever wondered which is the freshest, so you "squeeze" for freshness or softness? Did you know that bread is delivered fresh to the stores five days a week: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday? Each day has a different color twist tie. They are:
Monday= Blue, Tuesday = Green, Wednesday = no delivery, Thursday = Red, Friday = White, Saturday = Yellow. *yellow* So if today was Thursday, you would want red twist tie; not white which is Fridays (almost a week old)! The colors go alphabetically by color: Blue-Green- Red -White -Yellow- Monday through Saturday! Very easy to remember. I thought this was interesting. I looked in the grocery store and the bread wrappers DO have different twist ties, and even the ones with the plastic clips have different colors. You learn something new everyday! Enjoy fresh bread when you buy bread with the right color on the day you are shopping.
