We love it! It has inspired my boys to cook. Last night my oldest cooked us supper and on Monday my youngest (with my help) will be cooking.

Nope- dump away! Enjoy your cookies!

I wouldn't change my name. My mom's sister and sister-in-law share the same name and we were always able to figure out who we were talking about. Also my sister and sister-in-law share the same first and for awhile the same last name. The only time that caused a problem was when my sister-in-law changed her name on Facebook to her married name and many of my sister's friends tried to friend her since they thought it was her.

That is funny! I wonder if they were secretly filming my house.

What about the Muskoka region of Ontario?

GERDs- my little guy had it and he was doing much the same thing.

I really enjoyed it! I like this reboot also and I also liked the way that they mixed in some of the old with the new.

The turnip is awesome raw. I cut it up and have for snacks.

When I had mono I couldn't sleep. The dr said that wasn't abnormal- not everyone sleeps all the time.

I had neighbours on my doorstep to welcome us- hmmmm as soon as the truck pulled up. So anytime really as far as I am concerned.

I love the series! I finished it very quickly. One thing I found was that I was getting hints of Claire and what she wants in the last 2-4 episodes. Most of my clarity happened in the last episode. Looking forward to more shows.

I lived in Jerusalem for a year. Let me know if you would like some advice.

Yes I knew it. I was interested in the Salem Witch Trials though (and studied microbiology and immunology in university).

I also get 1.

Bones

I like Mad Men, Big Bang Theory and Bones.

I agree that I would let it be known that I appreciated the gift. I might say to her in passing that I received the flowers and I really appreciated whoever it was that thought of me. I would probably do it in a largish group.

The doctor noticed at the last appointment for my oldest that they had mixed up his weight and height measurements. Was the doctor concerned or just you? If the doctor isn't concerned then I would relax.

We are in the same position this year. I am busy trying to come up with handmade items- my crafty side is getting a workout. We have a few gifts for the kids and I am making homemade items for other people. We have always kept the toys to a minimum luckily but my oldest is wanting things that are way out of the budget especially when we are strapped for food money and such.

double post- sorry

I would complain to the management. They should know if he is treating people this way. I am sure that there are other people who have been upset enough not to return who will not say anything.

I would think homemade items would be appropriate- jams, jellies, sewn objects, etc.

:grouphug: I am in the same position and don't have any advice. I intellectually know that I am blessed with lots to be thankful for but I don't feel it. Of course this makes me feel worse. Know that others are thinking of you.

Praying for you and the little girl. It sounds like she is lucky to have you guys in her life.

I usually make gingerbread, chocolate chip and sugar. I am inspired to do more this year.
