Perhaps they only called people in the immediate area to where the child was taken or where they think he/she might show up. That would be important information to have.

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

No. I wondered about that, but it really wasn't that near me.

[Melissa]

I wonder if it is a police dept thing or a service from your phone company.

[Melissa]

I took the price tag off of my new book and it left a bunch of sticky residue (sp?). Anyone have any tricks to get that off?

[Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother]

I've ruined many a book by trying to get that sticky stuff off.

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

Also, here is a site for making your own "Goo Gone." Though, I'm sure you could find others, Melissa.

[Kit★]

Yep, GooGone is great! :)

[Kit★]

Put a little on a paper towel and rub it in a circle on the sticky stuff and should come right off. Is a little greasy though, so be sure to wipe the spot real good with a dry towel when done :)

[Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother]

I guess I'll have to look for that stuff ☺

[Melissa]

I have never heard of this stuff, I'm going to have to get some of that. It really bothers me to have price stickers on my books but about 1/4 of them leave residue when they come off.

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

Yeah, it is great stuff. I've been using it for years. They have several great products. I've used their candle wax remover - for cloth.

[Leslie]

Lol a most appropriate name for a product. Yea those price stickers annoy the heck out of me too! Thanks Lisa for letting us know about it.

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

Ooops! I mean "for cloth," not "from cloth." Changed it.

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

If you have a little alcohol prep pad - like when a nurse cleans your skin before a shot - that works too; however, you have to be careful, as it might take up some of the color, depending on the surface.

[Leslie]

Oh, I have a bunch of those! I'll try it with the book I recently got. It's funny, I was thinking "I need some of that Goo Gone for this!" while I was taking that sticker off and was just making a mess on my book. Thanks for the tip Lisa!

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

Yeah, but be careful, Leslie. It depends on the surface and the type of adhesive used.

[Leslie]

I will be. Whenever it involves my books, I tend to be cautious about these things. But it did work for the book I used it on. It's all nice and clean. ^_^

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

☺

[Melissa]

I used the wiped for my glasses and it took most of it off but I will be looking for Goo Gone for future uses!

Thanks Lisa Kay!

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

Sure, Melissa!

I've used this for years, too. One bottle is a lifetime supply.

[Leslie]

Lol the other day I saw a commercial/infomercial about Goo Gone. I'm like "Hey that's what Lisa was talking about!" Didn't know they had commercials about it. Lol

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

☺

[Abigail]

Plus it's really fun to say.

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Haha... I just noticed the aka, Coffee Spewers in the title intro... too funny....

[Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother]

Just got back from the movies. We saw The Croods! HILARIOUS!!!!! Gosh, I laughed so hard!

[Abigail]

Oh, good. We were going to see it Sunday as a family, but hubby got sick. Maybe this weekend.

[Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother]

Definitely see it, Abigail! It was really good.

[Leslie]

I'll relay the positive review to my bf. May take his nieces to see it. Thanks! ^_^

[Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother]

I'm sure they will love it!

[Melissa]

my daughter saw it this weekend with a friend and she said it was awesome. I may have to take her back. The Host is playing to and I'm torn between that and The Croods.

[Leslie]

If you see The Host I want to hear a review. I actually liked the book (better than the Twilight series) and just want to see how the movie is.

[Heather L]

I haven't read the book or seen the movie, but a friend saw the movie last weekend and said it was okay. Not great, but okay.

[Melissa]

I was really suprised how much I liked the book as I'm not a Twilight fan, which is why I want to see the movie.

I haven't read many good things from the two people I saw make comments, okay is the best I'm seeing.

[Leslie]

Yea, that's the best way to describe how I felt with the book. I remember seeing the book in the library and recognized the author and felt curious about it. I have no desire to see the movie, but I've heard lukewarm reviews about it. By what I'm reading around here, it's the majority opinion.

[Melissa]

I've decided to wait until it comes out on DVD and rent it rather than pay theater prices.

That is the same reason I checked it out. I saw 3 different people check it when i was checking out at the library 3 weeks in a row and thought maybe I should read that.

[Jordan]

Oh goodness, I haven't been on Goodreads in so long! Decided to take an online caalculus class at school and pretty much cut myself out from the world.

So We are talking about The HOst? I went to see it and it was pretty good, it's a lot better if you don't connect it to the book, which I try to do with most movie adaptations, just so I can appreciate the movie in itself. There were cheesy parts, like the fact that Melanie's voice/conscience thing sometimes has a southern accent and she sometimes doesn't. But overall it was pretty good.

uh,oh my /8cats 99stepping al over my keyboard. I will take that as my cue to go :)

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

**waves** Hey, Jordan. Yes, calculus would put a damper on your GRs time.

[Jordan]

Yeah, it was awful! Two months of torture! I was the only kid taking the class online, so I was completely alone. Wayyyy to stressful! I didn't have a chance to read for an entire two months! First week out I started and finished 5 books!

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

LOL! Trying to catch up?

[Jordan]

Oh yes!! Goodness, everyone was like "Jordan, I haven't seen you reading in a while, what's up?" and i'd say "Well, as soon as I get my life back, I will get right on it!" Hahahaha!!

[Abigail]

Oh, God, trading reading for math? It will never happen. :)

I hope you enjoyed those five books!

[Melissa]

You poor thing... Math is awful! Give me reading any day!

[Abigail]

And I spent two hours last night helping Thing1 find the areas of irregular shapes. *shudder*

[Leslie]

I'm so glad I'm not in school anymore and not having to take any math classes. I hate math. I would take English class any day over math. Btw, I'm Asian so that makes me an anomaly. Lol

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

I got so stressed-out over one of my huge Algebra finals once, I couldn't turn my neck for a week.

[Jordan]

Yeah! It was so extremely stressful! It also didn't help that my principal was my proctor for tests and HE IS A MATH MAJOR! Everytime I would turn in a test he would immediately say something like "OH, I see you derived #7 wrong" or "Ooohh, you simplified those sins and cossins wrong". I was always so intimidated whenever I took tests, which just made me more nervous and I would do worse!

[Abigail]

And this was for fun, right?

[Jordan]

Lord, no! I would never, ever, ever take math for fun! It was a college course that I decided to take while I'm in high school so that, when I go to college, I won't have as much to take. It was actually the last math class required for the major I want to go into, so NO MORE MATH FOR ME!! Yayyy :)
