  1. I think I'd be a squeaky wheel at the state board of ed. Keep calling back to see if she gets a different answer or gets someone more willing to help.
  2. We have two Lenovos which we've been very happy with.
  3. I would complain to gym management about that kind of behavior.
  4. Amazing. I had some happy tears for you reading this.
  5. I love Baggalini purses. I’ve owned several and many styles have a built-in wallet if that interests you.
  6. I have people I trust with information. But in the issues I am dealing with currently, it’s hard to discuss without violating the privacy of a third party. So I withhold a lot. So goes parenting teens and young adults.
  7. The only time I've had it, my MIL made it and the dressing on it was disgusting.
  8. The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien. It's a collection of stories about US soldiers in Vietnam. It gets graphic and heavy and I have to read it in small chunks. However, the author writes beautifully. The Bright Side of Disaster by Katherine Center. This is more lighthearted fiction about a pregnant woman who unexpectedly finds herself as a single mother.
  9. The Great British Bake-off. It gets formulaic but they’re all so kind to each other. Kims Convenience.
  10. I've been known to say, "Tell me the end of this story."
  11. Those are called scones in Idaho and Utah and not at all like what the British (and probably pretty much the rest of the world) call scones. 😄
  12. I just ordered these too. I feel better ordering from B & H than from Amazon in this case.
  13. I’d make them separate but mail them together
  14. Mine does. It’s a Breville toaster that I bought Feb of 2012 though, so Amazon doesn’t sell it anymore. That might be a brand to check out though.
  15. Oh I'm so sorry. Sending you long distance hugs and chocolate (or whatever comfort food/beverage of choice).
  16. We did over the summer while flying with kids. Not everyone had a phone to scan at the gate.
  17. Yes, Perry is a very unwelcome guest in my house. I'll be 47 next month. I have a ways to go probably. Sigh.
  18. If you're putting in bedrooms, consider installing wall heaters. We had them installed (they're called Cadet heaters) in each of the three basement bedrooms when we built our house and they have been fantastic. At the time we had our house built, we were staying in my parents basement and using space heaters constantly any time we were downstairs. However, we discovered that we couldn't use two of them on the same circuit. We asked the builder of our house about this, thinking maybe we could add more circuits. Instead he suggested these wall heaters and we absolutely love them.
  19. My oldest daughter is having to walk around a large college campus in winter conditions. The gloves we bought her (just Costco ones) aren't going to cut it. I'm willing to spend a little money on a good pair of gloves for her to wear, but I'm not sure where to start. What brands are good?
  20. My mom was helpful with all my babies. She came and stayed a few days with us after my first was born. When my 4th was born, we lived down the street from my parents. Their kitchen was being remodeled, so my mom came and cooked dinner for all of us every night in my kitchen. It was awesome. My MIL was helpful too, mostly with the older kids. In retrospect, I think she was really afraid of stepping on my toes and probably wanted to be invited in a little more but I just didn't realize it at the time.
  21. I get junk mail for a woman at my address. The weird thing is we built this house and the address literally didn’t exist before that.
  22. I have a gas range (burners and oven are gas) and an electric wall oven with a microwave above it. I wanted two ovens, but a double wall oven would have made the microwave sit too high.
