What is the best way to let people know about your registry?
I’ve heard different opinions. Some say it is too tacky and demanding to print the registry on the invitations. My friend attached internet links onto her e-vite to her bridal shower, but how would you let other guests know?
Rate my short, quick story?
She was a short, skinny girl. A short skinny girl that lived in a tight apartment with a straight-up tight Mom. Along with her always drunk Dad. A short, skinny, miserable girl.
It was now morning and she woke up to the alarm clock. She studied herself in a old run down mirror. Pale, pink skin and a dirty face. Dark blue eyes and a button nose. Freckles carefully blown across her face. A eleven year old run down girl. She could’ve been almost pretty if it wasn’t for not feeling pretty.
Then her stomach flipped and whined and strechthed.
GGGGGRRRRrrrrrr, it growled.
She winced, but didn’t groan. She knew the feeling, and hadn’t gotten used to it. It was hunger. "But that doesn’t matter now," she thought as she made her way slowly to the kitchen, holding her stomach in so it wouldn’t make a sound."I have to make breakfeast for them."
"For them" was her nasty, ignorant parents. In no time, she had bacon, bread, pancakes, and fruit at the side. With syrup. Her mouth was watering, but she didn’t dare. She had things to do, her parents had said. If she didn’t, she would be punished.
So badly punished I can’t print it on this paper. She trotted down the stairs, looking at her feet, as always, for no one was ever going up, ignoring her queasy stomach.
The steep footsteps echoed up and down the halls and she still didn’t look up. That’s when she bumped into him.
"Hmmph!!" she murmured as she fell. She looked up, limbs shaking, to see him.
His head was limp, and he was just now getting up too. She caught her breath as she saw a boy with shiny, messed hair, a carmel complexion, fresh jeans and blue shirt.
"I’m sorry about that," he said. He smiled. She said nothing, too shocked and…afraid?
She rushed past, thinking about him all day.
*
She finally arrived home, exahusted. But then she was some sort happy. Her mind had been placed on the boy all the time, doing chores, listening to her aching stomach.
But now she looked up at her parents, almost smiling.
I want to start an online t-shirt business.?
I need to find a comany that has demand on printing. I want to create Christian t-shirts. Cafepress is a good but it is hard to make a profit. If Ihe shirts cost me with print, then very few people would buy my shirts.
Does anyone know of any sites whre print on demand is cheaper.
Thanks.

How can we make congress realize they need to live within a budget like families have to?
I do not understand how congress can even begin to discuss healthcare reform or anything else when they have the country in debt so deep it will take decades to get out. Families have to live within a budget and can’t print money when they run short, so the government should also make policies and propose changes that do not continue to dig a bigger hole of debt. How do we make congress realize they cannot keep piling on the debt, and enough is enough?
