When people are upset over self checkouts; does it upset you?
MrsMommy replied to Ginevra's topic in The Chat Board
I don't mind self checkout when I'm just getting a few things, but when I'm doing a weekly shopping for a family of seven, I do not want to have to check myself out. I think this is partly because our Walmart really isn't set up for self checkout of large orders...there is no conveyor belt at those stations, just a stand meant for a few things. I already need two carts some weeks...if I had to self checkout in that scenario, I'd need a third just to keep things moving, and that really doesn't work for me. The whole process is too stressful when you have a larger order. -
I love everything about the Advent/Christmas season. Everything. They don't call me the Christmas Queen for nothing! It's just the day-to-day stuff I wish I could suspend over the holidays. Like, do the bathrooms seriously need to be cleaned this month? 🙂 And why do I have to cook regular dinners when I'd rather be baking or cooking special stuff? But the Christmas stuff? I can't get enough!

Do you ever think it is weird that people wear makeup?
MrsMommy replied to Tap's topic in The Chat Board
I think makeup is fun. I especially like eye makeup because you can do so many different things with colors and blending. If I was told I *had* to wear makeup for whatever reason, though, I'm sure I'd rebel against it and hate it. Since it's entirely my choice, I wear it when I want to, and have a good time with it. -
More songs—which Christmas song is worse?

I hate Santa Baby! -
I love these so much...you should write a book.

We have six trees. The "big tree" is lit with multi-colored lights, the other downstairs tree and our school room Jesse tree have white lights, and the bedroom trees have different solid-colored, colored lights according to the preference of the occupants.

Are you starting your Thanksgiving desserts today?
MrsMommy replied to math teacher's topic in The Chat Board
I'm making ours tomorrow...one pie for each member of the family. Last year we had company, so I had extra pies to make...after that, this year's, seven pies will be a breeze! -
I am very sorry for your loss.

I meant to get up, but I missed it, which I guess is ok for me, because all we had was clouds anyway. I'm really enjoying seeing all of the photos online from people who had a good view, though!

Thank you!

Christmas.

Seconding this. Somehow, we had never seen it before last year, but once we did, we were hooked. I've even been making my way through a The Nightmare Before Christmas cookbook this month because it's such a fun movie.

Tell me about your best museum experience
MrsMommy replied to Mrs Tiggywinkle Again's topic in The Chat Board
The Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago is one of my all-time favorites. You could spend days there and not see everything! The Naper Settlement in the Chicago suburbs is also great...lots of pioneer-era demonstrations, and the grounds are pretty. Also in the Chicago suburbs is Cantigny Park, which has a First Division Museum and a historic house to tour, plus more beautiful grounds. We also really enjoyed Mount Vernon this summer. I think we would have enjoyed the Smithsonians more if there hadn't been so many renovations and so many rude people. -
We gave my oldest son a Lego Bugatti Chiron for his 16th birthday. Kind of a play on the idea of a car for the 16th, but in his case, he wasn't interested in driving yet, but loved complicated Lego sets. My younger son received a pair of binoculars for star gazing because space is one of his biggest interests. In both cases, I wanted the gifts to be something significant that they could keep if they wanted to, as a memory of a monumental birthday.

I gave my oldest daughter a necklace with her birthstone on her 16th birthday.

Happy Birthday to Chester Arthur! (Our second super villain president)
MrsMommy replied to Terabith's topic in The Chat Board
I really love reading these. I always learn something, and I laugh. -
If I had been a boy, I would have been Jason.

I compiled all of my family's favorite soup recipes here.

This appears to be happening with some Metra lines in the Chicago area as well.

Experiences with Wayfair or other online furniture places?
MrsMommy replied to Janeway's topic in The Chat Board
I bought a beautiful vanity from Wayfair, and it's a lovely piece of furniture, except it arrived damaged. In the end, they let me keep it for free, so I can overlook the ruined corner. -
I dislike visitations, and I HATE open caskets. I don't mind the church service, though.

I get taller when I'm angry. I haven't found any practical uses for this particular super power, but it amuses my children.
