Statistically, analysis of bills in Congress for the past 43 years shows that Republicans legislators, especially those from the south are the largest protectors of SSI because of the influence of AARP and the fact that senior citizens are more likely to vote Republican. In particular, they have vehemently opposed increasing the retirement age and have supported COLAs. Get your facts straight. [ Reply | More

I think you can do it. Rent a timeshare on redweek.com instead of a hotel - studio or 1bedroom won't be more than 2.5k. We own at Marriott's Maui Ocean Club and it's just a gorgeous property. We're going in October - flights were about $800, but may be a little bit more now if you're in a time crunch. [ Reply | More

[ - ] Need some ideas about getting my 3 yo DD to sleep. I put her to bed at 7 pm (usual routine: bath or wash up, pjs, story, say good night, lights out). She gets out of bed and says she's not tired about every 5-15 minutes for the next 2-3 hours. I have tried so many things. Positive reinforcement - sticker charts, earning rewards; negative reinforcement - losing toys and privileges, "locking" the door (holding handle from the other side). I've talked to her about how big girls stay in their beds. I've told her its ok if she doesn't sleep, just stay in bed. I've tried nightligts/no nightlights. I've tried music, letting her read. This has been going on since she moved to a mattress on the floor when she started climbing out of her at 2 1/2. She's never been good about falling asleep, even as a baby. She shares a room with 1 yo sister who generally sleeps through all of this (great sleeper). Help!! I am at my wits end!!! 14 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

Your dc is stressed cause she doesn't understand bedtime is different from other activities. None of those sticker game. It just becomes an activity and she would want more of that attention. I find it better if the environment is boring. Aka, who house is dark. Let her scream for a bit. No talk, put her back to bed. Repeat. Get her to understand nothing fun will happen. I'd also suggest very little bit of melatonin. My ped said its ok cause it's not addictive, just calm dc down a bit. One dc get used to laying in the dark, they just get it. I'd also try moving bedtime to 8. 7 seems a bit too early. [ Reply | More
