  1. Since search is not working very well, I would love some guidance on books. I need something to address a close family relationship (sister) that has become unhealthy to the point I need to separate from it. It is very difficult, as there are others who will be impacted, but years and years of experience tell me nothing is going to get better. So any great books to fortify myself and hold the course?? Thanks!
  2. Thank you for the info. I have to get back to tracking and back to exercising, so I think I will just start there are see how it evolves. I agree that it is about finding the foods that work for you. I have not done that successfully, but I also have been easily discouraged.
  3. Congratulations!! That is amazing!! What eating plan/diet plan are you using? I am dipping in and out of my "PLAN" to lose weight and get in better shape, so you are inspiring me!
  4. Actually did catch up on some chores and paperwork. But I also ate chocolate, watched Dr. Thorne and wondered what would become of me. (Insert appropriate emoticon)
  5. It has been a long week! Now I have to poke around!
  6. I couldn’t log in at all, said my user name and email address were invalid and I had to create a new account. But now it shows my old posts and notifications, so definitely glitchy!

  8. I am so sorry. Please know she is in my prayers, as are you. It is just so terribly unfair.
  9. Yes, your teenager has lost his/her mind. No, it won't be fixed soon. ((Hugs)) and chocolate for you. No babies are to be born during the Blackout. Put your feet up, cross your legs, breathe. It would be selfish to give in to the urge to push. Your dog ate your bathrobe? Call the vet. And get a new robe. You won't want this one back. Your (insert family member) said/did that? Again? Permission to use nuclear response granted. He/she didn't get you a gift? Get thee to the mall. And remind yourself he/she would want to be generous. Should you eat it? Probably not. But if you have the aforementioned teen lurking about, it is okay to let them do the sneak preview and then make a decision. They are young, they will bounce back if you are wrong. And they most likely deserve some discomfort for something you will find out about next week.
  10. He gives you the creeps, and pushes your boundaries in a public way that seems to have been a challenge. He’s a jerk. If your husband doesn’t see it, let him know he doesn’t have to. He just needs to make you feel protected, regardless. Ask dh to stick by you and intercept the guy with a quiet “no†when he sees him approaching. Quiet, eye to eye “no†is very clear.
  11. I wonder if you can have this incorporated in her registry? For example, can gifts purchased at Babies R Us be picked up at the store in her own town when she gets home? It could cost more than the value of the gift to ship some baby items. I am pretty annoyed by tacky gift demands on invitations, but I would much prefer to know that the mama being showered is flying and gifts shipped directly would make her life easier-which is the idea! “Mom-to-be is flying home, and already carrying precious cargo! If you would like to send anything to her for baby, address for delivery is...â€
  12. It is all breaking my heart. A pizza place walking distance from the house said Mom was there at least once a week, and bought herself a slice of pepperoni pizza. While her children were starved. I don’t know the answers, because it is so incomprehensible to me. But I am so impressed that one of these prisoners broke out and got help for all her siblings. Courageous beyond measure.
  13. My son is 27, is missing one adult lateral incisor (and never had wisdom teeth). We were never offered any of these options, and were told to take good care of the baby tooth and plan for an implant once it fell out. He still has the baby tooth, and will need the implant whenever it does fall out. Had we had the option, I would likely have chosen to attempt moving his other teeth to fill the gap.
  14. :grouphug: :grouphug: I am so sorry you have lost your buddy.
  15. Thank you for trying :). I am just going to skip since I can't find the one I bought ingredients for.
  16. I have searched and searched! Was planning to make today! Any help appreciated!
  17. Thanks for the input. Not appendicitis. Long night, but he finally slept. I cannot eat movie popcorn without similar difficulties, so I just don't eat it. He has not run into this before, so will discuss with his Gastro doc and, obviously, not eat it anymore. As far as moaning etc., he is one of my aspies. His pain tolerance varies from great to minimal, and his anxiety when in unexpected pain is great. Hoping for a better sleep for all tonight, and grateful for the help!
  18. Thank you. I will see if he will try it. He is also nauseous, so not sure.
  19. DS 23 ate popcorn at the movies tonight. Has never been an issue. He is having a lot of stomach pain, cannot get into any comfortable position, moaning. Calls it a 5 out of 10. I don't know what I can offer that might give him relief? I told him he will likely just have to wait it out. Any ideas appreciated!
  20. Praying for your brother and family. How awful. :grouphug: :grouphug:
  21. Just wanted to share, found on a savings site! Go to Shoebacca dot come, buy one pair of Sanuks and get the second free with free shipping! Code FreeSanuk. I ordered pairs for 2 of my guys and my total was $24.95. :) Hope this helps someone!
  22. I feel your pain! What I implemented last month after my frustration reached it's peak: I expect each of them to clean up after themselves (do your dishes, put away what you take out) in common areas. The bedrooms and their bathrooms are not going to be to my standards CLEARLY :ack2: :ack2: but piles of dirty laundry and crap all over their rooms and dirty bathrooms are beyond "what mom wants". As far as I am concerned, it is a life skill/health & wellbeing issue. They now can keep their rooms clean "enough", or I assume they wish to hire me. :biggrinjester: At my discretion, I will do laundry, clean crap up, clean up a bathroom. And they receive a bill via Venmo. How much? I am not a licensed contractor, so I don't give estimates. Charges vary based upon filth, my mood, the weather and perhaps how many Fritos are in the pantry. Nobody knows what the charge is until I send it. And they have to pay it. No complaining, no negotiation. It is a bill, and it is due upon receipt. I am calling it my cha-ching holiday house tour.
  23. https://www.stilacosmetics.com/search?utf8=✓&q=Dual+Palette&button=search Stila cosmetics dual palette $10 (normally $39) and free shipping with code 25BFSALE. There are two to choose from. Great stocking stuffers-I bought as gifts for dd’s friends.
  24. Check the listed rules for the sales page(s). I sell on several local FB sale pages, and the rules can vary widely. The page I sell on most often has a strict rule that questions do not establish a place in line. You must post "interested", and then add questions.
  25. I am also watching for the first time, and Matthew’s death annoyed me too. I was so sad about Sybil, but Matthews death felt ridiculous. I am still watching through...😬
