  1. Thank you for starting the gender thread, it has been very helpful reading!

  2. Can I just say how much I love the boards? You guys can answer a question faster than I could ever research on my own, and I get the benefit of lots of different perspectives to give me things to think about that I would never have come up with on my own. Thanks Board!

  3. 7 y.o. "MOM!!! He colored in the coloring book I got for my birthday!!! 5 y.o. "Well, she used my washcloth!!!!"

      I'd say that's fair!

  4. Can I just say that my dh, family and I are absolutely LOVING Granite Flats on Netflix right now. We are only in season one but this is one absolutely clean, wonderful family show that holds all of our attention.

      I hope you like it as much as we do! Today's episode ended on a cliff hanger that made the whole room groan in unison, it was pretty funny

      I've been wanting to watch that! Glad to hear your family liked it :)

      It's a great family show!

  5. 4 yo and 7 yo put on a drum concert for us today. It cost us $1 to "get in". Half way through the concert 4 yo yells "stop stop! How much will it cost for them to get back out?"

      That is priceless. These people have the potential to actually make money with a music career. Good thinking, kid!

      I love it! I've been to a few concerts where I would have paid to get back out. :-)

  6. Showed the kids how sound waves travel w/ vacuum cord, and it has morphed into a game that involves for kids standing over the stretched out cord and the person making the "cord wave" shouting out greek gods. Thank you Percy

      Now we have moved on to Egyptian gods and 4 yo's turn. Horse (Horace) Set Iceland (Isis)!

  7. Mr. Robert Chang just offered to split $8,700,000 with me 60/40 if only I would send him my bank account info...

      But Mr. Robert Chang is my long lost cousin and he said I could have the money!

       

      I guess you can't even trust family these days...

      If he offered that to me, I would take him on the cruise to the Bahamas that I just won.

      I dunno. I'd hold out for at least 75/25...

  8. Woman within is a plus size women's clothing retailer, yet not ONE of their models is plus sized. l:p

  9. Being the mother of a 13 yo girl who knows WAY more than I do and is going to be so much a better mother than I am is exhausting. She's lucky I didn't whip her with a belt like my mother did when I challenged her authority!

    1. RootAnn

      Am there, doing that! (Well, except my mom used Dawn dishwashing soap in our mouths.) Exhausting, but eventually rewarding ... or so I'm told.

      I have four daughters. One is grown with children and we understand each other much better now. :)

      The last time I saw my mother I gave her a hug and a heartfelt apology.

  10. Looking to make a complete set of Percy Jackson books for Christmas, anyone have any they want to sell?

  11. Just discovered a very young Collin Farrel on an old Irish show called Ballykissangel on Prime!

      Great show! Is he on towards the end of the series?

      I think he starts on season 4

      I remember watching that when it was on tv. It's a good show.

       

  12. Does anyone know what those toothy things on the backs of picture frames and shelves are called?

      Sawtooth Hangers?

  13. Once again, extremely thankful for TWTM boards. You guys rock!

  14. how do you explain things to a 12 yog who suddenly doesn't understand reason or logic and is operating solely according to her feeeeeeelings?

  15. Received my van keys in the mail!

  16. I just want to say thank you to all of the people who post links. In the years I have been here, I have learned a lot from links posted, and we have discovered many gems that we would not have found otherwise. To the person who posted the Farmer Derek link, my 3 yo has watched this and almost daily and all of my children sing several of his catchy songs to themselves while working regularly! Thanks everybody!

      I missed this! What thread was it in?

      I don't remember, but if you google "Farmer Derek What does the farmer say Youtube" you will find it, and his other videos.

  18. Having an irrational, internal response to my bf announcing they are now eating vegan while we are planning meals for a joint family vacation. Why is food such an emotional topic for me?

  19. It stinks when doing the right thing means you are the one left out.

      Rosie_0801

      Yes. Yes it does.

  20. Ugh. Worst ice storm in a while, and dh's boss wouldn't let him leave early to beat the ice. Now it will take him forever to get home creeping down the icy roads. If he wrecks on the way home, was it worth the work they got out of him the last 3 hours of the day? I doubt it. If he wrecks and is off work, was it worth those three hours today?

  21. I should not be accountable for things I said while not actually awake

      I think she means that we want to hear exactly what you said while you were still half asleep!

      That's how we ended up with a dog.

       

  22. Crushing on musician Kurt Schneider today, I know I am too old, but boy howdy

    1. theYoungerMrsWarde

      theYoungerMrsWarde

      He's great!! I'm older than him but I'd crush on him, too. :D

  23. INlaws just dropped in and the house was a mess! Clean dishes all over the counter from last nights washing, dirty dishes on both sides of sink, kitchen furniture out on the back porch so I could mop, fair project debris for 5 projects covering every flat surface in kitchen, living room trashed with toys, cards etc. After they left, I had a good cry.

      I'm sorry! I'm a MIL, and that wouldn't have fazed me a bit.

      ((hugs)). People who drop in unannounced can't expect a clean, ready for company house.

      Aw, don't cry! Your house was in the middle of being cleaned! Don't fret! Any sensible person would realise that they'd surprised the host and caught them cleaning! No problem at all!!!

  24. I am lookig for any members who belong to CHEC Ohio, in the southern part of the state

  25. Can somebody help me find the threads that recomend books for an 11 yo dd?
