Hi everybody,

I hope I am not breaking the forum rules by posting this here, but I simply want to share an excellent online tool , which I found: you can use it to grab any video from YouTube.com or extract the audio from a video. And what is even better is the fact that you do not have to register or download anything – simply paste the video link, press a button and in a few seconds you’ll have the video or the audio on your computer.
This is my 1st post on this excellent forum, so if this isn’t the proper section, please move it and I apologize. However, for the guys that are interested, here is the link: Youtube downloader

I hope you find it useful!

Slightly off topic perhaps, but a plea for you to think about the ethics of purchasing cheap trampolines. Do try and think about, for example, the materials your product is made with, the conditions of the employees where they’re manufactured and the ethics of the retailer. And try to recycle your trampoline instead of throwing away. Thanks!!!!

Hey, everybody. Wangle a long visit with Dick and Jane. Stay at least a week. More gracious and understanding hosts you’ll won’t find. They even turn up the heat for you. Lots of children to play with and Jane’s a great cook. Lots of love here. Check it out.

Your father-in-law sounds like a really great guy. Reading this makes me realize I need to stop saying snotty things about my father-in-law (whom Joseph LOVES) and be more positive about his personality quirks. My father-in-law really is a wonderful guy, as well. He’s part of what made my husband so great

I agree, I can’t cut my own hair, though I attempt at cutting my spouseman’s and three little boys’ hair. Yours looks fresh and great.

I immediately guessed that you went to Thanksgiving Point, having been there in August during the $2 days (which, by the way, was NOT super quiet with kids already in school; it ended up being super, super busy w/ TONS of parents that had kids under 5 years old or homeschooled)

And lastly, your FIL. What a nice post. I too have great in-laws. I feel so lucky. I can really talk to my MIL & FIL, even if I have problems w/ my MIL I can bring them up and she will listen and try to be better. I can’t even always do that w/ my own mom (who I still love dearly!).

ps. Nice, sneaky way to throw in a “Thanksgiving” post in the form of a gratitude post about your FIL. I wanted to do a thanksgiving post on my blog, but thought, “How in the world could I not say what every single other mom says when they’re feeling mushy and grateful for their husband and kids?” But I did it anyway.

It is always so nice to see family. When my Dad comes into town I always remember fun things about him and then I miss him even more when he leaves.

A few thoughts as I saw your pics today, I really think Dick looks like Bobby Flay in the top picture (though that isn’t saying too much because I totally thought Matthew McConaughey played Carlisle in Twilight). Second I am still amazed at the haircut YOU DID YOURSELF!!!
