  1. May I have an invite? 23, 21, 19, 18, 16, 13, 11, and 8
  2. I'm down to sorting papers. And trying not to cry about having to drive to Harrisburg again tomorrow. I can't wait for his class to be OVER.
  3. Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation
  4. Took DS19 to class in Harrisburg. Took DD18 her bank card (she went to work without it). Listening to DS11 and DD8 bicker. Still to take DS23 to work (he doesn't have a license yet). Need to finish sorting papers. Need to price yarn.
  5. My only concern with them using JUST a wipe is that it can be drying and there needs to be a moisturizer follow up. This is why there are routines. My eleven year old is finally using one (he has five sisters and two older brothers to all encourage him in this and have helped with choosing products. Cleansers and toners both come with SA in it now for those with really bad cases and then the girls added a mild moisturizer to his routine...the label is off, so I'm not sure what it is).
  6. Yep, I would block him. I have blocked all toxic family members on both sides of the family.
  7. Monday was disrupted by my daughter asking me to pick her up from work and take her to the doctor (who told her to hydrate and then lectured her on other things that we weren't in there for, didn't apply to her, and she discusses only with her regular physician).

    Exactly. I can't commiserate with her, because there simply isn't enough information and all attempts of "comparisons" were so overboard from what the situation apparently is in reality.

    My husband's great aunt was a JW. She was a highly intelligent woman and refused to let her church dictate her love of her family. We saw her for various family and holiday celebrations (she even brought gifts). No one was expected to adapt around her church, not even her children who left the JW's. She was never disfellowshipped over it and neither did she keep it a secret. On the other hand, one of my best friends, disfellowshipped, has had quite the opposite experience (which I will not go into in this thread....let's just say that it falls under many of the things that have been already mentioned by others and more). I think I would draw the line at (a wedding in) a local, get teenagers to runaway across state lines, cult group that we have family members in. That would be my line. I have kids to protect.

    SMH...
  11. Sort papers, fold clothes, and spin.
  12. What does YOUR church teach on this? This will vary church to church and person to person. Some of us do not consider tithing to only mean money, but could also include time and ability.
  13. Teachers should be held to a certain amount of accountability. There was the issue with the teacher that was a Supremacist/racist that not only had her own show, but that garbage filtered into her lessons.
  14. Adult sons #1 and #2 are at work. Living room is picked up. One teen is making breakfast. 2nd grader is sitting next to me and working on phonics. 8th grader is on her grammar and composition. My 12th grader needs to get up. My 5th grader has a ton of attitude. Yesterday was our first day of the school year and it went well. Basically, I will just sit here and work with each kid in turn.
  15. There is a difference between deodorant and antiperspirant. Most natural deodorants are just that, deodorant. It's not supposed to stop you from sweating. Not sweating is not healthy. You can actually see the skin bubble with sweat it's not releasing when I've put on antiperspirant. Deodorant just helps with smell.
