Find Cupcakes for School (SE PDX0

My son wants those cupcakes with the toy on them for his birthday at school. Turns out Safeway (on Woodstock) doesn't do that. School rules are that I can't make them (have to be store bought). Any suggestions?

Do You Buy Generic or Store Brands? If Not, Why?

I’m trying to save money right now and cutting down our shopping expenses. When shopping at Target I decided to buy certain Target brand merchandise. A neighbor of mine said she would never buy generic and that they claim to be the exact same, but in reality are not. She said that generic is just buying “cheap” stuff and that people who buy generic are just advertising to the world that they themselves are cheap. In her own ‘weird’ way she was trying to give me friendly advice. What is your experience in buying generic...

Food Ideas for Double Baby Shower at Work

Yay, I am in charge of something fun at work. I am planning a shower in about 2 weeks and I'd love some ideas! Two of the ladies here are pregnant and one's husband works here as well. Should I invite only the ladies or since the dad is here too, should I invite everyone? Also, what would be good for food (we've always done pizza and I think something new might be good)?? It would have to be cheap though and easy. I don't think I want to make food for about 25 people! I'd love any other suggestions too. It's both these mommas second...

Does Anyone Know How to Get the Smell of Cat Urine Out of Carpet?

Hi All: So we have this ferrel/wild cat that lives on our property. He/she lived here before we moved in and has been no trouble up until now. He/she got in the house yesterday and piddled in the corner of my living room floor on our brand new carpet. It smells horrible. I think she might have sprayed, but I am not really sure what the even means? My mom mentioned it? I am afraid that if I put the wrong cleaner on it I will only make it worse. I really don't want to pay a professional service to come out for one small spot? Know any home...
