Thank you!!!

Length I was thinking mid-thigh or so. Any style really, so long as it's warm:001_smile: Tx Lisa

Wow, I've never seen this. Awesome! I might make a photo book for my mom, too. What a nice gift idea. thanks! Lisa

I have a friend who is always asking for recipes, and I thought it would be an nice gift to make a personal cookbook with all my favorite recipes. I'm trying to think of ideas on how to put it together. I have a spiral binder, but I'm so uncrafty I have no idea how I would put this together. Can anyone give me ideas? thanks, Lisa

I would like to buy my mom a good winter coat. She delivers mail and her coat isn't warm enough. Ideally, I would like to find one on sale, maybe on Friday. Can anyone recommend a coat that you love for freezing days that keeps you nice and cozy? Preferably something longer (not ski jacket type). Thanks!!! Lisa

Here's the sample dd used to help her: http://redwagontutorials.com/FormLabB.htm Lisa

Thanks so much ladies. This is what we're going to do, then:001_smile: Lisa

Dd10 is making Christmas gifts for everyone, and her first project is a hand sewn teddy bear for her sister. In the back of the book it has the pattern for the body and arms. They are on a grid with squares 1 cm, and it says that the scale is 1 square = 1 inch. I do not sew and I have no idea what she is to do with this. Once she has the pattern to size, I think she'll be fine, but I don't know how to scale the pattern for her. Do I copy it and blow it up? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!! thanks, lisa

Maybe that was it - I did use my linked debit card since I didn't have enough of a balance. Guess I just never used cc for a gift before. Thanks:001_smile: Lisa

Two times yesterday I tried to paypal a gift, and it is now asking that you assume the fee. If you uncheck the box, it has the sendee assume the fee. Looks like the days of no fee paypal are over? Anyone know of a change of policy? thanks, lisa

That's the recipe I'm making:D

Thanks, I didn't think it was a big deal:001_smile: Lisa

I'm making ice-cream tonight with dc and looking for recipes. There's an easy one that uses sweetened condensed and another that uses raw egg, but does not say to cook the mixture before freezing it. Would you be squeamish about this? Tx Lisa

We have campfires all the time. I've never thought of doing this. Pork roll, yes, but never bacon. I am so doing this. Lisa

I'm in low carb paradise:001_wub: Lisa

:w00t::w00t: You can do this? Where have I been? Details, please . . . Lisa

Yum. I wrapped mine in American cheese and the cheese got all soft and melty. Lisa

It tastes so much better when you fry it instead of microwave it. That's all. Lisa

I agree. I claim an exemption to avoid submitting any medical and dental, and my portfolio is as bare as they come. Lisa

Sounds very similar to our Pennsylvania requirements. Lisa

This brings me close to tears. My dd13 is profoundly disabled, in a public school classroom. If I could possibly support her needs at home during the day, I would. But I can't. Her behaviors can be challening, she requires diaper changes, and I'm sure she drools on her teachers sometimes. From the outside, her teacher and aids seem like wonderfully patient, warm people. But it is beyond disturbing and heartbreaking to think that they could be losing patience behind closed doors:crying: I understand what some others are saying about being human and "losing it" sometimes. This is sooooo different, though. If we can't be humane with the most vulnerable in our society, that is an injustice that can't be tolerated. Yes, it can be a difficult job, which is why it is not for everyone. Mistreating children that can go home and tell their parents is wrong; doing it to a child who can't (like my dd) is evil. I am so sad right now. Lisa

I loved reading this aloud to dds. It's a beautiful story. Lisa

I made the same argument but it was called a fallacy:001_smile: Lisa

I must have missed that part in WTM:confused: I would start with R&S 3. It starts from th beginning and is very gentle. Lisa
