Re: On Track to save for Retirement????
justginger: I have the same feeling about debt, especially when you're relatively young. I want to pay off all of our student loans and not take on any more debt, except a mortgage. The Dave Ramsey baby steps are: 1. have an emergency fund ($1,000) 2. debt snowball to $0 in debt, except for house 3... |

Re: Perth WA - Diamond Bench Help please!!
Susie my ring that you remember was not Australian made, but Odgaards did do a great job repairing another piece for me and were very pleasant to deal with. I hope you and your family are enjoying life in Perth. I live 'over east' now but have fond memories of my time there. My husband and son are f... |

Re: Please help a guy (me) out with your opinion on this set
Josh as a fellow Australian I just wanted to point out that the Whiteflash setting you linked to is actually not outside your budget, especially given that our dollar is worth more than the US dollar at the moment. If you were to purchase that setting the only tax you would pay would be the 10% GST ... |

Re: Is a PSer getting one of these rings?
Dreamer is spot on it - the OEC is mine! It's lovely to see how many of you have admired it. It really is/was a gorgeous ring and I have enjoyed owning it. A combination of restlessness and access to some extra $$$ has allowed me think of uprgrading and thus I decided to pass it on and I hope it's n... |

Re: Camera buffs / enthusiasts - advice for DSLR purchase?
Hey A.J, thought I would come out of lurking and see if my limited experience in this area can be of use. Like you I recently upgraded to an entry level DSLR.

Re: Are you sick of highly paid teachers?
How about instead of giving people tax credits for having children they put that money back into the system? I don't see why I should pay for other people to have children AND send them to school. Besides, teachers chose to be teachers and knew what they were getting into. I don't think they're sai... |

Re: The Potty Training Thread.
Vesper, first of all I want to send you a big hug because I know how stressful toilet training issues can be, especially when you are also caring for a baby.

Re: Dust needed. Daughter in Hospitial in London and I'm 12,
Oh Kate how horrible for your daughter - and for you being so far away. Here's hoping she is much improved by the time you get to her. How disappointing to think she was left alone and expected to look after children while unwell.
