Sigh. Guinea pigs are cute. My kids have wanted one, but....... I feel like it would be a disaster waiting to happen. Cats are natural predators. And, I wouldn't want to deal with a child whose guinea pig was killed (with possible munching). So, for us....no.

Yes. Definitely! Just make sure to check road closures and wear warm clothes!

This may work for legit telemarketers, but scammers have thousands of phone numbers that they cycle through. It is impossible to block all of them. I hate people that try to scam the elderly.

My 89 year old MIL got scammed by telephone. They had her absolutely convinced that that her oldest grandkid was in dire need, and also that she shouldn't tell ANYONE about it. We are very thankful she couldn't drive and never gave any money away. I found out because MIL couldn't stop crying and even then it took me about 30 minutes to pry the information out of her. And, it took EVEN longer to convince her that the grandchild was perfectly fine. (Not even talking to the grandchild had her convinced. ) We switched her to ATT Uverse. It has a setting that you access online where you can enter in 30 different phone numbers, and only those phone numbers are allowed to call in. Every other phone number is blocked. This works for her very well. She likes knowing that if her phone rings it is someone she knows. It is more expensive than her previous plan, but for her situation is totally worth it! Also, all friends and family know also, so they know to call me or my husband if they are calling from a different number. We don't have anything that works really well for mail. But, I am over there almost every day, and I bring in her mail for her, but conveniently go through it and throw away all junk mail before she ever sees it.

For a short person, my DD found a folding step stool very important.

I would absolutely look into double majors. Can she take extra classes to make that happen? I'm also on the side that a major isn't always about how much you can make if you hate your job .

The things you learn on the well trained mind forums.

Awwww.... That made me smile.

I don't like them, but we think they taste like dreamsicle or orange bubblegum.

Personally, we switched to Republic Wireless. They use smart phones, but you can just use the wifi only option if you want. It works well, and it is pretty cheap.

Personally, I like Atlas gloves for gardening. On Amazon they have several different kinds. These are some with elastic wrists like you described. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/cr/B0087U3D7W/ref=mw_dp_cr

Or treats on opposite sides of a closed door......they could get used to each other's smells

The earlier you give it the more effective it is. It was great for our family. Our insurance covered it.

I like this idea!

I think most companies and people use Ravelry as a go-to website for knitting patterns. If you have tried the "free" button,and haven't found anythings, then you might not find anything elsewhere either. ETA: I just looked: Ravelry has 12,852 free sweater patterns. And, you can then narrow that down some more if you need to.

My twelve year old wanted to learn how to knit. She took a class at a local yarn store. Just an idea.

I've heard that taking them with a thick liquid helps, something like V-8. It's worth a try.

The hive rarely agrees on something 100 percent. The fact that everyone here thinks it was inappropriate should mean something. Possibly, you can talk to your husband about why people think it was wrong.

Hugs.

In kindergarten kids write all different ways. She will learn with time. I would not be worried at all.

I would not let a permit driver drive other people's kids around either.

I'm certain they would appreciate it.

Garden mom just gave you GREAT ideas! Now, all you have to do is match it up with where you are staying and your interests. Then, you will have your own personalized schedule.
