Came here to check on your brother. Still praying for him and the family.

I pray he fully recovers.

Praying for the best, hornblower.

If you suspect someone in your home is having gluten issues how do you suggest getting off of it? I personally went gluten free for two years but my kids are really stuck in a food pattern involving breads at breakfast and lunch, pasta at dinner, crackers at times with cheese. We do eat rice, meat, veggies, but there is a huge dependence on wheat. For those of you who’ve done it, how did you transition?

I hear ya OP

It is $82 on amazon right now Edited to add: I just saw that you know about today’s price! When I started reading the topic on the first page I replied before continuing reading so that you’d get to the sale quick! I missed out on yesterday’s 6 Qt price of $69 because I couldn’t make up my mind in time. It was sold out by the time I decided to buy it.

Thank you for your motivation!! I cleaned the inside of my oven this morning!!! And, nope, no one is coming over.

Hoping for the best

Yes

That's what I thought this thread was gonna be about!ETA: glad she's ok

I used the Book discount primebooks17 for Spelling Workout. It didn't apply to writing &rhetotic nor first language lessons.

Oh I didn't mean she 'should have held it' but no, they didn't take her to the bathroom or wrap the soiled pad in any bag... that more what my reaction was for. I wonder how animal potty needs are handled on flights? What about when your pet pig needs to go?

Ok, these relatives took their dog on a flight to L.A. and she had to poop. So they put a pad on the ground for her, she pooped, and then they put the soiled pad into the garbage bin in the bathroom :huh: :scared: :scared: No. Just no.

Same! they've NEVER owned a dog. But now that they do, boy, everyone better love her as much as they do!

Doggie is usually in a backpack or handbag carrier. They got their doctor to make a letter saying that the dog helps them with anxiety, I think. Like someone else said, very few people are willing to challenge them.

That is exactly the message I'm taking away from their stance on the dog.

The thread about rules regarding non married couples sleeping over got me thinking about how we all have a rule or two that someone else in the family might not like or agree with. How often do these rules keep those family members from visiting you? Is it worth it in the end, for the people who choose not to visit? In the bf/gf sleepover thread, would your adult child have quit coming to see you if their bf/gf couldn'tl sleep in the same room as them? I'm experiencing something like this right now where DH and I have a 'no dogs in the house' rule, and a close relative (and new dog owner who is smitten with their dog and won't leave their dog with anyone else in the world) won't come visit us unless they bring sweet pooch with them. They've asked many times and tried to coerce us in many ways which has been annoying. They just couldn't take the 'no' the first (or tenth) time they got it. So now... who knows when we'll see them again! I am more limited in my schedule for visiting them, and anyway, they've come to see us about twice a year as a habit. But now with the new darling doggie, we might not see them at all until we go to them. FYI the dog is never left alone. She is carried in a carrier literally everywhere they go... flights, restaurants, shopping, work. So, yes, I'm disappointed in how things turned out, but DH and I don't want to change our rule, and they don't want to leave their doggie.... anyone else experience this type of thing?

Praying for his health. Sorry you're going through a stressful time.

Ack! My entire upstairs is carpet and now I'm grossed out after reading all this!

Great link! I learned something

Edited: not what's the OP was looking for

I just shopped yesterday for a new planner/calendar and found a small selection. I bet there will be many more options once the school supplies hit the main displays late July. I read the OP's original post and thought to myself 'that's what I was just saying to myself yesterday'! I used 2017 Moms Manager 12 Month Spiral Engagement Planner https://www.amazon.com/dp/1624388205/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_wzRozbRBNSHVB this past year and liked it a lot. Not for Homeschool assignments but for a family calendar.
