State taxes and insurance is going to differ from one place to the other. Hopefully they will both be less at the new job!

I know I've ordered backorder items. I know we have always gotten them and never had anything canceled from Lego. But what I don't remember is how close they arrived to the estimated date.

There are lots of options of Amazon. Just search for litterbox cabinet. Here's a couple of the cheaper options but there is many to look at.

I'm also in the leave the cooked pumpkin pie on the counter for a few days. So I wouldn't hesitate to eat it.

My geeky son absolutely adored Legos at 14 and at 26 he still adores Legos. And a pastor at our church who is 40 still adores Legos and geeks out with my 26 year old over them. Some people never move past that love of them no matter the age. But I certainly wouldn't want to argue with your son's vision of his big brother so my next suggestion would be drones, video games, European board games, anything star wars, Escape room style games. Chronicles of crime is another my geeky children really like. However, it's a board game that requires access to cell phone so I don't know if it's the best game for donation as you wouldn't know if the recipient is set up for that (even though I know most kids do).

Mine is from 2016 so I haven't kept up with the models but based on what wathe says here, I would get the classic. I much prefer the dial controls over and electronic panel for the simple fact that electronic panels are more likely to break and more expensive to fix/repair than dial controls.

I did not need to hear this! I've spent my entire life being freezing cold the majority of the time. If it gets over 80 I might start getting warm but I seldom feel truly hot. I've actually looked forward to menopause because EVERYONE I know tell me about being hot. I would like to be hot for once in my life. Now that you tell me there are cold flashes, I can totally envision myself as being the person who only gets the cold side and will only deepen my problem of being insanely cold all the time.

I totally agree! I live in a different city than the rest of my family so we would each bring our ads (since we had different stores available to us) to Thanksgiving dinner and in the post meal time, we would sit and pass around all the ads. Everyone would discuss things they thought were neat (aka potential Christmas presents), things that were a good deal, things that the kids had specifically requested and who was going to go where to get it, plot out what stores to shop and when (based on when they opened). It was a great afternoon activity for all the adults (at least those who did the shopping each year). I find trying to go through all the ads online so difficult, I stopped shopping altogether. Paper is so MUCH easier!

Totally understandable! I know my sister's vet also told her to stop some of the vaccines for some of her older animals who never went outside because the stress from the vaccine was higher than their risk of contracting whatever it was (sorry I don't remember if rabies was one of them or not), so you are not completely out of line for being wary about it. You just have so many obstacles I was hoping that maybe that would be an easy way to get over one of them but that is not the case.

Do you have any low cost clinics around you? We have two lost cost clinics here and rabies shots are only about $20 with no exam fee. There are also several groups that sponsor low or no costs vaccine clinics that are offered a few times a year. These are typically on Saturday and on a first come first serve basis. I've also seen them at some Humane societies. Just thought I'd throw it out there because they aren't things that are widely publicized around here and most people don't know unless they specifically hunt for them.

When the first one came to our state, I told the door person, I just wanted to look around and see if I wanted to get a memership. They were totally fine with letting me in. I know they have been cracking down on memberships lately and they wouldn't let my son in to start looking before I got there with the membership card (but ours has been there over 10 years now) but it seems like if they are new to the state, they would want to let people look around who might not buy a membership without knowing what they offer first. It might be worth asking.

Slow feeders, food put into interactive toys, freezing the food unto an interactive toy (like this SODAPUP Mandala Shallow Slow Dog Feeder, Large, Yellow - Chewy.com) . Mine eats so fast she immediately throws up without one of these options used for every meal.

It's hard to give an amount. It's more about ratios. You need enough juice so that it can coat all the thing you are pickling and and a bit more. You don't have to cover the item but you need enough juice so that as you stir it, the item is getting enough juice splashed on it to coat the item. I hope that makes sense. I usually a couple of limes for a meal but I'm cooking for a crowd of big eaters and they will happily eat any extra pickled veggies we have at the end of the meal. So for a smaller amount 1/2-1 lime is probably plenty. Our grocery store regularly sells bags of limes that have been banged or bruised or have small spots for 99 cents (and probably weigh 3-4 pounds) so I never lack for fresh limes. I think bottled lime juice is sharper tasting than fresh but it worth giving it a try. If it's too sharp just add a tiny smidge of sugar and I think it will brighten the flavor.

We use a method called quick pickling quite often for various dishes bought some of those meal kits in the past (like Hello Fresh) and were introduced to the concept of quick pickling. Turns out there is tons of uses and it makes a great addition to lots of dishes while still keeping a nice fresh taste of the vegetable. Basically it's slice your veggie nice and thin, mix with acid and salt and let it sit for 5+ minutes. So for onions for tacos, I would slice them thin, squeeze fresh lime juice, add a little salt and then let them sit while I prepare the rest of the meal. The lime juice is a natural match for Mexican foods. This is the recipe I got the concept from www.everyplate.com/recipes/sweet-ponzu-beef-bowls-5e46ac769b2eb6549c0156e but now use the pickling technique for lots of different things.

Lime Jello Salad - Aimee Mars This is the recipe I always make. Except I don't like nuts in my food so I skip those. And I don't like lime jello at all and canned pineapple is not my favorite. So I use the proportions of this recipe and use either strawberry and blackberry jello and sliced, sugar frozen strawberries for the fruit. I've also so strawberries in peach jello. Raspberries work in peach or raspberry jello but because they are so tart, make sure to add plenty of sugar to them. I've also done peaches in strawberry or peach jello. In other words, play around with the flavors. There are lots of way to go with it.

My sister gives us those cinnamon sugar covered nuts. I prefer straight almonds but she does mixed nuts. I make dehydrated pineapple (with no added sugar). My nephew likes cowboy candy (basically a sweet pickled jalapenos), my son loves my homemade applesauce and gets a couple of cases. My dad gets a pot of chicken noodle soup (my mom doesn't cook much anymore and my dad loves homemade soup).

My normal basic tacos have sliced peppers (prefer colored but in the dead of winter green are the cheapest), onions, black olives, shredded cheddar/cojack cheese (or queso), plus the ones you listed and avocado slices if I have any ripe. If I don't have lettuce we use shredded cabbage. Other options are sauteed onions/peppers. Pickled onions, radishes, black, pinto or white beans, rice, cilantro, pico de gallo, corn, cojita cheese, sweet potatoes (great served with black beans with taco type seasonings).

I watched several you tube videos about overwintering peppers last winter. I tried two different ways. What I ended up with was a massive aphid infestation that I spent the entire winter battling. I threw out the peppers mid winter and spent the rest of the winter trying to save all my other plants. I've decided it's not worth it to try again. I hope you have better luck.

I wish they still make trees like mine (I've been searching for a bigger one for years). It's fiber optic so there are no strands of lights to go out. There is just the projector at the base the shoots the color up the trunk (where the fiber optic strands are hidden inside) and then it spreads out to the strands in the branches. There are assorted color wheels so if I want to change the color/pattern I just put a different disk in the base. Obviously I still have a risk on the base going out but other than changing the lightbulb once it has faithful ran for at least 15 years now. This has been the best tree ever and I so wish I could get another.

If it tasted fine and there was no mold growing, frankly I wouldn't worry about it. If it was bad, I would fully expect that the taste was so off putting she wouldn't have eaten it.

If you have grown the yellow patio before, be prepared to be overwhelmed with them. We've tried lots of container varieties in our greenhouse business over the years, and have never had a variety that produces as many tomatoes as we got off the yellow patios. I like the flavor of some other varieties (that aren't container types) a little better but for sheer yield the yellow patios were amazing. The plants do get a bit bigger than other patio varieties that we've grown though so don't skip on pot size.

Spent a good chunk of yesterday cleaning up the garden, putting away the tomato cages, pulling some of the dead plants raking leaves and starting to add them to some of the beds. Didn't get finished as we had to divert our attention to fence work when one of the dogs found a new way to escape the yard. Hoping to get the rest of the leaves raked an into beds. There are still quite a few dead plants to be pulled but I will probably leave them till spring as they are in my overflow beds so those areas won't get mulched and the plants are much easier to pull once they've spent the winter breaking down. I still have kale and parsnips growing but there is no hurry to pull them yet as the weather forecast for the next 10 days still has highs in the 40's and 50'3 and neither of those minds the overnight frosts. My indoor garden is coming along nicely. We've been picking cucumbers for a couple of weeks now and the lettuce is just about ready. The tomatoes are setting fruit too but the plants from last winter are still producing so they will cover the gap until the new set starts ripening. I've got to find time to mix up the soil and fill some more containers. I want to get arugula, spinach, basil and more radishes planted at a minimum. Faith-manor's mention of sprouts reminds me I should get some of those going too but since those are so quick I just have to remember to dig the supplies out and then it's much easier to get batches started when it's staring me in the face.

Overall I think it's a little lighter than what I ask my kids to do so I don't think you are unreasonable at all. But I know my kids protest too any time I ask them to do more than they had been so I'm not surprised at their reactions either. I think they best you can do is keep the line firm on your expectations and for me at least they usually adjust in a month or so to the new expectations.

Another big canner here as well. If you have any desire to do meats or other items that require pressure canning, I can't recommend this machine enough Amazon.com: 12 Qt Electric Pressure Canner: Home & Kitchen I could never get things right using a stove on the pressure canner, but the electric one just adjust the temps for me and I just have to adjust the regulator when it tells me to. It makes pressure canning so simply that I often leave my kids in charge of it once I get the loaded jars in. You can also waterbath pints in it (unfortunately it's not tall enough to waterbath quarts so you would need something else if you want to do that).

Bosch. Cleaning performance is light years ahead of my old Maytag which also had racks that completely rusted through in under four years. I think I'm on year 6 with the Bosch and there is no rust.
