Sorry about the quote box - I did it without thinking and I can't get rid of it.
I hate weighing in on these situations because all families are different - but I do agree with Katy here. If your DS wants to keep her happy, then I would encourage him to come up with a solution.
My DD22 is very picky and has some food allergies. She has stayed with BF's families, and we've had BF's stay here. Most people will happily accommodate her, but she doesn't want anyone to go out of their way. She generally will purchase some food that she will happily eat for the duration of the visit.

It works okay, the color goes on a bit green even if you have a pale olive skin tone. The only thing that made it unusable to me is the smell - it smells a bit like a wet ash tray.
I prefer Australian Gold Botanical mineral spf 50, which I think has been rebranded as a BB cream. Solely for the smell. I use the LaRoche when I can’t get the lighter shade of AG.
I would love to try the Australian Gold if they would take out the eucalpytus.

I have oily skin and find it to be on the tad greasy side, although it is one of my favorites. The tint ok for me, i'm light with cool undertones.
I typically would wear this when I'm not wearing makeup that day.

I haven't had it done, but my dermatologist said it would probably take 2 treatments at $500 a pop. And if you are not careful with sunscreen it will come back. Like if you forget to put it on during a vacation and get a burn, it will be all undone.
Good to know! I am pretty diligent about sunscreen but I do forget sometimes. At this point I would be willing to spend $1000 if I knew it would last for years. Not sure if I can afford it every year for the rest of my life.

Has anyone had laser treatment for Rosacea? Could you please share whether or not it helped, how many treatments, and the cost (I know this is dependent on location)
My local dermatologist no longer offers this so I will have to drive about 2 hours. I was also wondering how red/irritated I would be after. Basically I wanna know if I can shop afterwards!

Too many to name!
I am not alone in being directionally challenged! My DH doesn't get it lol.
I can't whistle
I am terrible at makeup, hair styling, and basically style in general.

Cranberry juice and Sprite is good together. I recently made some non-alcoholic pina coladas. I don't remember exactly how I made them, but I think it was coconut cream, pineapple juice, and ice - blend in a blender. I've seen recipes that use frozen pineapple chunks in place of the ice.

If you are mainly going to be baking bread I would look at the Bosch or the Nutrimill Artiste. I use my Kitchen Aid for cookie doughs, whipped cream, cake batter, etc. I use my Nutrimill for bread.

Yes, that is correct. It would be weird if they got into the food trailer to pull it down the road.
I don't think I've seen a food truck being pulled by another vehicle. The only ones I've seen are drivable. (is drivable even the right word??)
Anyway, it felt like the story changed from pulling truck to the actual food truck so I just wanted to clarify. Still gross, but I wouldn't post this in a public forum. They weren't anywhere near food or food service equipment.

Also as far as how it went that I was still thinking about it several hours later……first I saw them not wash hands. Gross I thought. End of thought. Then as I was getting in to my car I saw them get into a food service truck….Ug, gross, mental note to not eat there. End of thought. Then hours later I was scrolling through FB and saw their post about being in our town that day..and I read all the nice posts and even one about cleanliness……and I recalled the many times I see negative ugly post on a business page….and I just wondered who would do that.
I thought they got into the truck pulling it, not the actual food service truck.

I like them, but it's a once a year thing. My mom brings one to Thanksgiving. Hers is iceburg, peas, cauliflower, raw onion (which I don't like in a salad), cheese, bacon and dressing. She calls it overnight salad.

You posting that on Facebook could ruin their business. I would never do something like that with the amount of info you have.
You just don’t know who was actually preparing the food, what sink they have in the truck, etc… I’d just let it go and move on. The most I would do is not eat there myself.I was also wondering if the mom and children were even associated with the food truck. They could have been stranded and the owners of the food truck were giving them a ride. Ruining a business when you don't know the whole story would be a terrible thing to do.

Earlier today I was at a popular convenience store in my town. I was in the bathroom and noted that a mother and two young children. (6-8 years old) used the bathroom and exited without washing their hands. As I got back into the car with my Dh and another couple they were talking about the food truck in the parking lot……Mother and two children got into the truck pulling it. Ugh just ugh.
Just now I saw a FB post about the food truck…. Read people praising their cleanliness……. Would you have posted what you witnessed?
They didn't get into the actual food truck itself, just the vehicle pulling it?
Don't get me wrong, I think it's gross! I just don't see how it would be helpful to post this publicly when they didn't go near the food service area.

The standard deduction is much lower for a dependent than it is for the parent, assuming you provided most of his support. He may not have to file depending on how much income he earned, however the standard deduction for a dependent is pretty low so chances are he will need to file.
Eta. I read the irs page wrong. Here is the link. https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc551#:~:text=Dependents – If you can be,deduction for your filing status). if his earned income is below the standard deduction he doesn't have to file but if he paid withholdings you may want to file anyway.

Yes, It is based on proximity of return locations.
That makes sense. I thought maybe I was doing something wrong! But the hardware store always takes them along with the $2 per package fee!!
-
I feel like i'm doing something wrong! When I return something, Amazon doesn't tell me where to return it. I just print the label and take it to the hardware store. I take everything to the same place. Am I missing something? There aren't any UPS or Kohls within 30 minutes of me so maybe that's why?

Is there a place in town that you can drop off UPS packages? I live in between 2 very small town (each have a population of about 3,000) and they both have a place. One is a hardware store, and the other is an insurance office. I believe there is a map you can look at that shows UPS drop offs. Try googling UPS access points this may give you some locations. I am wondering why you can't just drop them off at the same location? I don't even ask Amazon where to go, just use the local UPS access points and I've never had an issue.

I print off the pdf and my girls fill them out by hand, with my help.

Sling doesn't have local channels does it?
Is getting an antenna an option for local channels? We still use an antenna, but we're live out in the country and have a flat landscape so we are able to get several local channels.

I tend to agree that any age is fine. I know it's regional, but it's very common in my area to see young children at funerals. Both of my girls have attended funerals since they were very young. My oldest is pretty sensitive, but overall I think it's been healthy for her. If you are planning on attending and don't mind bringing the six year old, I think it would be fine. Leaving the six year old at home is ok too.

just wait until your body can't decide if it's hot or cold . . . . 😜
eta: heated mattress pad. Dh loves it . . I will prewarm my side of the bed, and sometimes turn it on in the night.
This is where I am uggg. I am hot and cold at the same time.
Cold flashes during menopause is a real thing!

These seem to be all the rage and I admit, I am intrigued.
But the cheaper ones run on some sort of fuel/alcohol/butane/etc.... This doesn't seem safe to roast a marshmallow and eat it, but they all show pictures of roasting marshmallows.
There is a more expensive one that burns wood.
Do you have one? Suggestions?
ETA: Sorry I wasn't clear. I am not talking about a large fire pit you put on the ground and pull chairs up around it, I am talking about a small, personal fire pit/bowl type thing (I linked a few below.)
I admit I'm a big confused by this statement. Gas grills exist and are safe, so what makes a marshmallow roasted over a gas firepit unsafe? Or is the type of fuel used? Do gas grills use specific fuel? (I have no idea obviously!! Just curious)

How has your makeup changed as you have aged?

I've switched to a medium coverage foundation, but I still use matte because my skin is still oily. I want to switch to cream blush, but I haven't found one that will last very long. I also tend to wear more balmly type lipsticks. I've also started using an under eye brightener.
