Based on the level of pain you mention, I would go in.:grouphug:

I need my top sheet;).

Praying here.:grouphug:

Smoked bacon wouldn't take that long to cook, and the women & kids (heck everyone) would be up early baking bread, gathering water, firewood, hunting, checking traps, seeing to the animals, and occasionally doing laundry and various other chores. I imagine chores ate up a lot of time back then:tongue_smilie:. The precooked bacon we have now takes only 15 seconds to heat in the microwave...Progress:001_smile:.

They are calling you to inform or ask permission to come over...If you aren't saying no, you are saying yes... Set some boundaries and get comfortable with honestly saying, sorry this isn't a good time.

Cool:D.

:iagree:

I had no idea...Off to research a bit. (Aka, checking Netflix.)

I like the 5/4 and up much better. Tweaking the script for the k-3 crowd is also a simple solution.

:iagree::svengo: I can do the squats, but I'm not going to pee in the shower. I would be compulsively scrubbing and disinfecting like a maniac. Maybe I should just scrub while I squat.

German Potato Soup I double this recipe. In ( ) are the amounts that I use when doubling, some aren’t quite doubled. 3(6) medium potatoes, peeled and diced 2(4) medium carrots, peeled and diced 1 ½(4) cups water 1 tsp salt (I don’t add this) ¼(1/2) tsp pepper 1 medium onion, chopped (I use a large one) 2(4) chicken bouillon (I’ve used beef, tasted fine) 2(3) stalks celery, chopped 3 tbl butter or margarine (I do not double this at all) 2(3) tbl flour 1 ½(3) cups milk 1 ½ tsp (3) dried parsley 1/8(1/4) tsp dried thyme paprika for garnish Place potatoes, carrots, water, salt (optional), pepper and bouillon in saucepan (large saucepan if you double) and bring to boil. Reduce heat to low. Simmer until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile in a separate large saucepan, sauté onions and celery in butter until onion starts to turn clear. Stir flour into cooked onion mixture. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly until thickened and bubbly. Add the potato/carrot/broth mixture to the thickened onion/milk mixture. Mix in parsley and thyme. Stir until well blended and heated through. Garnish with paprika. Makes four servings, if you do not double. **Feel free to add chopped bacon, chopped ham, corn, cream-corn or cheese to this soup.

Thank you for posting the update.

Snow days here do not equal no lessons, but we get snow all the time. And as many mentioned, you can only stay out in it so long. Things could be different if we didn't have numerous opportunities to enjoy snow.

That cut looks beautiful, and wouldn't take long to do daily. I think it would look great on you too. Post pic's when you have the your new hair style.

Are parents really this naive? (No) Is our society becoming this permissive? Yes, call it Permissive, given up, don't care, busy or maybe tired.

Yep...I do some shopping at our local Aldi stores, but wish TJ's was near.

Waving my hand wildly, "I do, I do." It saves time, and I like the sheets fresh anyway;). I do have extra sets, but I'd wash them even knowing they are clean and ready to go.

:grouphug:Oh my, I'm glad you're okay, and you handled it well. That will definitely be a story to tell for years.

Wonderful new, I am so happy that you are home with your entire family.

My favorite kitchen purchases are: Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer Cuisinart Food Processor Rice Cooker Food Network Knives and one I purchased in Japan years ago. Stainless Steel Cuisinart Pots and Pans...I can scrub these babies with a knife if I want to! Happy Shopping, I hope you find some great sales.
