Others planning events( I am required to be at) that cost me mega amounts of money (which I don't have)
Cost of food and other necessities
Can no one else see the trash overflowing?
Can no one else put their dishes in the sink? How about actually wash dishes too?
Why can't I lose weight? (ok I really know the answer to this but it is still frustrating)
Why can't I declutter this overflowing house?
Why does the junky house seem to bother no one but me?

So are they different than a bb gun? What is the difference?
I thought they shot something soft! lol
To quote Tim Hawkins "there is nothing airish or soft about it" :lol:
My kids have several different airsoft guns. They cannot purchase any of the guns or ammo but I can buy it for them.
They do have "battles" with others but everyone must be in agreement and eye protection. They just got the full face masks and that makes me feel better.

Come and visit me, because I DO want to hear all about it - AND see the pictures. :D I think traveling and living in different cultures is not only fascinating, but very important to at least learn about if you can't do it yourself.
:iagree:
:grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug:
and
:seeya: :seeya: :seeya: I would love to hear about your experiences. I'm always too shy to ask questions (I think I'm rude) when I talk to others who have lived in other countries, but inside I have millions of questions.
Best wishes.
:iagree:
I have only lived in the town I am in now. (born here & never left). I have been to a few places in the US on vacation but never outside the country. I would love to listen to your stories and see your pictures. I "travel" through others and books :001_smile: People tell better stories than books too.

Nope, feed your family.

BBQ nachos or potatoes - use the pulled pork --
tortilla chips, nacho cheese, bbq, bbq sauce, jalapenos
for potatoes just use a baked potato in place of the chips
Throw some bell pepper strips and onion strips in crockpot. Then toss in chicken breasts. Nothing else. Cook on low about 6 hours. Cut chicken into strips or shred. Serve on tortillas. (got that here and quickly became a favorite)
Anything grilled -- hamburgers, hot dogs, pork chops, steak, bologna (add bbq sauce), veggies etc.
Dip sandwiches -- I usually double this as my family loves leftovers of this
put a roast in the crockpot (can be frozen).
mix together 1 packet au jus, 1 packet dry italian dressing & 1 can beef broth
pour mixture over roast
cook on low 8-10 hours
slice & serve on rolls with provolone cheese (or not)
use sauce to dip sandwiches
Cereal -- keeping it real
Pancakes -- again just being real
Salad or taco salad
Jambalaya
Ice cream -- hey it's hot outside
Crock Pot Beef and Broccoli
roast, sliced into thin strips
1 cup beef broth
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons sauce from the crock pot after being cooked
Fresh broccoli florets (as many as desired) -- I use frozen, nuke a couple mins and add to pot
Hot cooked rice
Directions
1. Place beef in a crock pot.
2. In a small bowl, combine broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, oil, and garlic. Pour over beef. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
3. In a cup, stir cornstarch and sauce form the crock pot until smooth. Add to crock pot. Stir well to combine.
4. Add broccoli to the crock pot. Stir to combine.
5. Cover and cook an additional 30 minutes on high (the sauce has to boil for it to thicken).
6. Serve over hot cooked rice.

Probably 50 people. Simple wedding planned fast. No not pregnant but a close family member was going to be in town that weekend.

The local owned grocery here use to have sales like 2 for $5. If you bought 1 you got charged 2.50. Then without announcing they changed it. So if you bought 1 it would be full price. So you went in expecting to get the item for 2.50 and ended up paying $3.50. Between that and changing some of their other policies people were not real happy.

I just had a baby and he is wonderful and healthy and beautiful!
Congratulations!! :hurray:
We're expecting baby #10. I'm 24 wks but haven't told anyone yet because I don't want to hear the nasty responses and comments I've heard the past 6 times I've shared baby news. Guess I need to spill the beans soon, it's too hot to hide under a sweatshirt anymore ;)
Congratulations!! :hurray:
Babies are definitely good news :thumbup:
-
You can do it :hurray: Go Go Go :thumbup:
I need the kick to get started
-
puzzles & board games - keep pieces in a ziplock bag in the box. If the box spills the pieces don't scatter
-
Good advice :hurray: I really need to be following all this advice.
Just a quick question for OP. Do you know someone with a business that has a dumpster that would let you dump some bags in the trash so you could stay on a roll with cleaning out.
-
Have you grilled them yet? Some brand hot dogs I don't like but if they are grilled I like them. Also dh spreads a little bbq sauce on each dog a little bit before they are done. That tastes good too.

I have boys but along those lines. We always kept ds hair cut super short. One year he decided he wanted to let it grow out. So I figured it was only hair and he needed a way to "express" himself. It looked like a shaggy mop and really drove the grandparents nuts. I didn't like it either but kept quiet. After a year or so he tried a new shorter style and liked it. (looked much better too).
Fast forward a few years. Ds is looking at some old pictures and says "man my hair looked horrible" I just grinned and said "you told me you liked it and it was cool"
Now same boy is growing a beard. Do I like it? NO (and neither do the grandparents) but again it is his outlet for free expression so I am trying to keep my mouth closed. Some days it is sooooooo hard though
-
I am so bad. We have no cake. We had a tiny bit of ice cream. It was taking up space and not enough for the kiddos to share so I just ate it :lol: I hid in the kitchen under the pretense of trying to find something to fix for supper.
-
Cake, cake, cake.....we want cake :laugh:
Yeah I said we are done with school. Now we can really work on the house. Uh yeah that is totally happening :rolleyes: Most of the reason it isn't falls on me. I just don't want to do anything.
Please someone kick me in the rear
-
Agree with the others, tell them to knock it off.
How old are your dc? Knowing mine when they made those comments they would answer "nope don't want to go to ps! I have fun in hs!"
-
I think it sounds like plenty of meat but just a note. Unless you know the littles will eat hotdogs don't assume that is what they will eat. My dc loved steak and ribs from the time they were tiny. Put out at platter with hotdogs, ribs and steak and mine would go for the steak and/or ribs.

oh yeah the master bath is down the hall too
motion activated sprinklers to battle deer!

No idea but I had never even heard of the motion activated sprinkler until this morning. They had a thing on the weather channel about it. After they talked about it one of the ladies on there said she wanted to set one up out front by the sidewalk. Then sit on the porch with a drink and watch the action :lol: :thumbup: :rofl:
