How can I feel comfortable shopping in stores after a weightloss of 20 lbs?
Q. I have just dropped down into the size 12 range and finally able to start shopping in "normal stores". I still feel like nothing is going to fit be, and I become sad and frustrated when certain things don't. How can I feel comfortable shopping now?

How exactly are shopping cart child restraints supposed to work?
Q. I know this sounds like a stupid question, but I really don't understand how they are *supposed* to work. I can sit my son in the shopping cart, adjust the belt around his waist, clip it, and it does absolutely nothing to keep him from climbing out. So, how is that one waist belt supposed to actually act as a restraining device?

A. I think in order to get the restraint to work correctly, you have to squish your child against the hard metal rails and snap him in with barely any breathing room. Seriously I dont know, but that seems like the only logical way. Even though it doesnt seem right.

A. I would advise toward getting a component system. This would be a dvd player and receiver as separate component devices and not an "All in One" device. If you ever plan on getting a next gen DVD player such as Blu-ray you would want to have a surround sound receiver to hook this device up to. If you buy an all in one system with a built in DVD player you will not be able to hook up your cable box to it to get HBO or Stars movies in 5.1 surround sound as most of those devices have non or limited hook-ups. I have hooked up a Sony system for a neighbor of mine that was a 5 disc DVD player & HDMI 6.1 Receiver with speakers and powered subwoofer for that price range...maybe a little more. It worked out well because he had a Sony TV and the… [cont.]
