Ok I’ve never heard of that, but who eats Brazil nuts? They are imho the dumb filler nut in a mixed bag. They’re annoying to shell and they don’t taste good. Ick. Don’t worry about anyone in my family over dosing on Brazil nuts.

OH also...when my glossy tile is wet it is so very slippery. Like ice. Almost dangerously slick. So many falls...

I have glossy. I wish I had matte. After 22 years, there are very worn places and I think the matte would have worn better.

What Christmas movies do you like? Anything goes..classics or newer ones. we like polar express, Charlie Brown Christmas and it’s a wonderful life. last year we discovered Arthur Christmas which is so fun! anyone else?

My kids call it Egyptian rat slap

I don't think I'd return to sender. I'd send a card with a plain old Merry Christmas and your names on it. And leave it at that. Yes, they're being petty and childish but it wont help if you are too.

we have this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B082ZZ2W14/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 and it is an amazing thing, My dh has used it to jump off our tractors so it's a really great thing.

Maybe call the people at the county and ask them for ideas. You’re right! It’s a ridiculous situation!

Yep. Small busted women with narrow shoulders (boyish types) who try to wear certain styles of bodice may spend the whole evening tugging at their tops to keep it in place. I have full thighs and hips. Certain styles of pants are uncomfortably snug across the hips if they fit in the waist. High waisted pants are terribly uncomfortable for me. Interestingly, dressing in the styles that are most flattering for my body is also the most comfortable for me.

Thank you for understanding what I was getting at. And while everyone can wear whatever the heck they want, most of us know what shape we are and especially when we’re standing up in front of people, we want a dress style that is flattering to our body shape.

What is your dds body type?

I hope they are ok.

Powers back. Dh on the phone trying to get power to various plants in Nashville. And the pics from Clarksville and Hendersonville do look terrible . Dd21 works at Clarksville Chick-fil-A and spent the evening sitting in their freezer.

We’re sitting here in the dark with candles and the powers been out for an hour or so. We’re fun tho. clarksville had some bad tornadoes and there were a few in other nearby areas as well as Nashville. Everyone else ok?

I'm totally certain that judges in areas that are close to state lines see things like this all the time. The fact that it's another state is irrelevant as long as it's within driving distance. Your ex is ridiculous.

I live in a farming community too and this is remarkably common as these old farmers age.

Absolutely. I can walk over to the counter where my planner always is and scribble down Dr. appointment Tues at 9 am in the time it takes me to grab my phone, log in, find the right app and key in the info. It's the same for my shopping lists. I know there are apps. I won't use them. It's faster to write it down,

My dds college has the worst website I’ve ever seen. Signing up for classes is a nightmare!

I listened to that episode too and thought it was a good analysis of the minndset.

There's also an overly simplified mindset that two things can't be true at the same time and a kind of flattening of nuance. It can be horrific that Jewish settlers were murdered, raped, and kidnapped. And ALSO horrific that civilians are dying in Gaza. We don't have to pick a side of which one is worse. They're both awful.

Pictures or it didn’t happen

Whoever wrote that ad is a genius.

We still use my dads old ford we bought from him years ago. I wonder if it’ll stick around long term. My dh just bought at brand new Chevy last summer. And yet…that ford is still here. i sent this video to my dad. his response: what? You didn’t want to cry alone?

I hope you have tissues handy.

oh. my. word. Aren't you glad that you are out of this mess, mostly, other than hearing about it?
