Could paint rebar same color as bed sections, pound it into ground about a foot & wire bed on. The plastic ties I've used in garden don't last too long with our strong sunlight so wire will last for long time & not give way & fall on your flowers. Jan

Yeah, the clogs thing really cracked me up! I just don't know what people are thinking sometimes! And yeah, the fact that the building is so poorly built yet they charge a heck of a lot of money for rent gets to me a lot if I let myself think about it. We complained A LOT to the manager a few months after we moved here (there was also a huge construction project started shortly after we moved in that they didn't tell us about -- one that included lots of jack hammering or something on the exterior of the building!!), and he said we could move if we wanted to, but it's difficult to find a lease for less than a year, and since we won't be here much longer it just didn't seem worth moving all of our crap and our poor cats. However, I have to say that the other conveniences of living here come close to making up for the noise factor. And I like living in a great part of the city, being able to walk to most places, and being very close to my office and to my husband's hospital. And regarding the baby, last night was the first night since they came home that I slept through the night! Looks like they're holding up their end of the bargain. Yay!!

This is just one more crib recall, last year something like 3 major companies had recalls, and at least one in 2007. It's scary when you think of how many cribs are out there and people don't know about the hazards. You may do a search to find out which companys have recalled cribs. This problem was pointed out to me by my DDIL and DS since they are expecting a son in March. Sue

Brandym I'm sorry to hear you have had a hard time, it's good that you have dealt with those issues, and are moving on with your life. Congrats on the new baby!! And no I don't talk bad about "All mothers" only my SD BM. If you knew the psycho you'd realize why I complain the way I do. Ever hear of P.A.S.? It's what BM does to SD as a way of manipulating our lives. It's wrong to use a child in any way, but what Bm does is VERY wrong, and I won't sit and take it. I also am the "ex wife" I am a SM, I am a BM... I know all sides to the coin. I'm sorry your SM was evil, but that doesn't make us all evil. I complain so much about BM because I want what is best for my SD, unlike her, who see's her daughter as a cash cow. When one openly admits this to us, as she did, you just want to reach out and smack her like hey, this is a KID, with feelings and everything....not some freaking way to make money.
