I buy all our checks from Costco. My company has several accounts, escrow and such, and we go through a lot of checks.

That I'd somehow accidentally stepped through a portal into a bad country song?
It's a pretty cliche joke. If it was a coincidence, it is funny. If the dad was trying to make a point, it's a lame and rather retrograde one.
Much more eloquently stated than I was going to. He thinks he is cute and is enjoying telling the guys a work he did this. Maybe not a guy with a gigantic IQ.

Went to yoga yesterday, 90 minute hot yoga class. There were only 3 of us there and one of the attendees happened to be a realtor I know and love to work with when I get a chance. It was so nice to get a chance to relate on a personal level. The class was just hard but a small class made it feel like I had a personal training session and it was just wonderful. Finding this yoga studio has transformed my non existent practice! I am trying to get my butt out of bed to go for a run this morning. I hope all of you get a great work out in today and that you feel beautiful all day long.

My 14 year old recently disclosed that he doesn't know the order of the months. :( we never really did that calendar thing every day. It would be hilarious to start now!

We have a recipe for coffee wine. I'd like to try that.
Saw this just now and thought of you!

When my oldest went off to college we learned that most boyfriends/girlfriends are dumped during Thanksgiving break of the Freshman year. It is called the Turkey Drop. ;)

Then don't say a word. Love him, love that she is seeing him, she will go to college and meet someone else...probably. If you let her know that you don't feel he measures up, she will try and prove you wrong. Ask me how I know....

Thank you!!!!!! I am doing it!I grew my own. I used the info at Food Renegade.com to get started.
My favorite flavor is blueberry/ginger. I also do some with Dole peach/mango/orange juice. I always put a few slices of fresh ginger in every bottle.

Really? That does not sound good. But chocolate stout is good beer ( and who would have thought) so it could be fabulous and sound horrendous!

We have Concord grape vines in our yard. DH made wine from it last year. He drank it. I didn't. I hate to say this, but I am not a big wine fan. Beer is my preferred poison. :laugh:
Me, too. :)
-
I want to do that! What kind? Did you make your own "mother? "I'm making kombucha for the first time right now! My DH thinks it should be beer.

Oh, dang. That is terrible. :( I just visited MIchigan last month for the first time and ended up in Traverse City. Awesome, awesome place, by the way. I bought some cherry wine! I have never had it but now I will have to open it!I made wine a couple of times many years ago. We had a cherry tree in our yard and a homeschooling friend who knew how to make wine show me how to do it. I think I made 2-3 batches... then the tree died!! I couldn't believe it. We had it all those years and then, when I really started to use the fruit (it was sour cherry), it up and died on me. :huh: Anyway, I did enjoy making wine, but I'm not much of a wine drinker, so I never really pursued it further. My husband enjoyed the fruit of my labors though.

My husband home brews beer. :) He's made some really yummy brews lately!!
He wants to get into wine making as well some day.
Does he use a kit or have a favorite recipe site? The best thing I have done is hang out and talk to brewers. I learned a lot.
-
Me too!!!! What is wrong with us! :)Stuff like this sounds like a dare to me.
LOL

That's the book I used to get started and I have now started using recipes I find online and adding my own hop ideas to it. I love hoppy beer. Yes, I have a near by home brewing supply store! The first batch was good but I used a kit I bought there and followed the directions. My last batches have been all grain. I buy my grain there, too.
-
I know people who do it, and with some skill. :D They are just quiet about it.
I'd consider mead before moving on to distilling though... seems a right of passage.
I am loving the beer making process. The history behind the different beers is fascinating. I made an India Pale Ale and dry hopped it heavily with citra hops. We had lots of people over at our office for a little celebration. I had a 5 gallon keg of my brew and a big ice barrel filled with other, more well known micro brews and no one drank the bottled beer! It was fun!

I will look it up but honestly, I want someone in law enforcement to waste their time with this. There are dumber things, I know, but not many.
-
Oh, and I think I remember that I can't raffle it, either. I think that's hilarious.
-
yes, it is not illegal unless you sell it. Perfectly legal to make spirits for personal use...and maybe for a few close friends. ;) I have a dear chef friend who makes the most wonderful, smooth moonshine and he gives it to his friends at Christmas!I wouldn't be advertising the fact in a public forum that I was thinking of distilling. ;)
-
A person who makes wine is a vintner. Sadly, though, I'm not one. One day, maybe, but not yet.
Thank you! Now to see if I can remember that. ;) I want to try it, too. I have seen these kits using concentrate and containing everything you need and it seems like that would be a fun place to at least learn the process.

My son brewed all the beer for his wedding. Everyone commented on how good it was.
That is awesome. Had he been at it a long time?

I own a business. I DON'T have a restaurant that's open all night. I am NO LONGER a waitress working every shift there is. I guess my thoughts are that this REALLY isn't a big deal. Certainly not even worth all this conversation. I think if you want people calling you when they disapprove of a conversation in the restaurant, so be it. Good for you. If you want to be graceful about something that offends you, tell the offensive person. Who knows if this would cost them their job? I don't. You don't. What if it happens? What if the manager is a big, immature jerk who loves to throw power around by hiring and firing? It happens. Do you think her manager is a sweetie grandmother type who is going to use this info as a nice life lesson for someone she adores and hopes will improve themselves from it? Been outside lately? She didn't spit in food, leave it laying outside, she wasn't mean. It is an all night diner. Can you imagine the crapity crap she heard at 2:00? There are such bigger problems.... My apologies to anyone I offended. You all are awesome and I really need to work a little today but being here is so much fun and you all are wonderful.

What do you call a person who makes wine? I am on my 4th batch of beer and it is delicious. I am thinking of distilling next, even if I really don't care for nothing distilled just to see if I can. Any of you brewing?

IDup that was in response to you, above. I can't seem to understand this quote thing. Anyway, I love Target.
Love those dresses! Do they have enough support for large breasts?
Target has great dresses. I wear maxi dresses everyday. Like the above poster said, I feel like I'm wearing cool, comfortable pajamas but get complimented on the dresses a lot. I started wearing them regularly in pregnancy because I could not wear anything with a waistband because it would give me round ligament pains (even a stretchy waistband - weird). But they are great for postpartum, nursing, and just normal wear. They are not maternity dresses.
ETA: My legs and butt just aren't what they used to be, and find dresses more flattering.
Unreasonable parental demand or common sense?

I don't think you are wrong to feel the way you do about permissions and such but I also wouldn't be surprised that other people don't parent that way. This one isn't right or wrong, just a parenting style. I am more like the parent who would have been a little surprised that my son's word that it was okay to ride with you wasn't enough. My kids have always been in lots of sports and activities and I rarely know the parents. We carpool a lot and I rarely have to have conversations about it but it wouldn't seem odd if someone felt we needed to. :)
