"Swallows and Amazons" by Author Ransome!

Isaac Asimov did a series for teens with his wife- Janet Asimov - The Norby Series- Norby-the Mixed Up Robot; Norby's Other Secret, Norby the Lost Princess, etc. Great series. My son read all of the author Heilen books, as well as Isaac Asimov. I love "Have Spacesuit Will Travel." C.S. Lewis did a sci-fi series Space Trilogy- "Out of the Silent Planet," "Perelandra," & "The Hideous Strength."

We like Serta Sleeper. We got when we got married and slept in it for 12 yrs before it became the guest room mattress. Everyone loves our mattress. I sleep sometimes in the guest room when I am sick. It's still so comfortable after 25 yrs. Also, Sealy Posturpedic is very good, too.

Hi Quill - did you look at Atkins diet? You may want that one. https://www.atkins.com/how-it-works Everything is on the website.

oooh YESSS!!! Please QUILL I would love to do with you!!! I have great book to recommend because it has the wonderful page 4 you can stick on your fridge! Plus I have loads of advice for how to make wonderful coffee sugar free with cream!!!! I have been doing Keto since last Sept but got off the wagon with being sick for over a month. I need to go back on Keto but I am finding it hard to go back into it. I can help with stalling on Keto because I took the infamous Stall Slayer class. Last 10 lbs is the hardest but can be done. And yes, it does get harder to lose weight as we age. I know for me- before Menoapuse, no problem losing weight. After menapause - its slow going. I feel I have to adjust *my* expectations for *my* body.

Yes, Yoga.

Cant remember -- did your boys like Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson books? The Parthenon rocks! Rick Riordan used it in his books. We loved hiking in the Smoking Mtns. So beautiful.

Thank you both!! Got it :)

ok Thanks for the reminder!!! Is there a link to the steps to fill out the FAFSA form? For example, my son is in college so last year we did the FAFSA form for the first time. So he first had to create an account on FSA and then fill out the FAFSA. So, does he create a new account with FSA every year before filling out the FAFSA form? Do parents have to create an account with FSA every year before filling out our portion of FAFSA? So confused!!! I am looking at the website and it isn't clear on questions like these!

Geez! I am totally in your corner. I had one done and I received results of the echocardium before I was supposed to have my follow-up appt!!! I was freaking out at all the langauge and looking everything up on the Web, scarry results. For me, most were within range and only 1 thing pop up that made the doctor ask me if I snore. Otherwise, she just turned the page. I had the "Mild tricuspid regurgitation." I dont know about the others. It was normal results for me, too with strange words! I forgot to add- I had to wait 3 weeks for my doctor to tell me my results!!!!

Praying that she comes through!!!

Wonderful!!! How exciting!!! Congratulations!

Just to add to the perspective....my ds is going to a private University in Washington, D.C. They strongly encourage being vaccinated. No fees but if vaccinated it will come with perks! They also want to know if vaccinated (Upload proof) or not by July 31st.

Did the previous owners burn their trash?

We used a metal detector to find our property boundary pins. It wasnt easy but it took a day to find it. It isn't very deep.

I second the Fat Head Pizza. There is one with ground flax seed that taste great! It's usually with almonds but I have seen coconut flour version. What about making cauliflower crust version?

This is AWESOME!! Thanks for the idea!

I recently purchased gluten-free pasta at Walmart in their refridgerator gluten-free/dairy-free case, It was the BEST tasting and closes tasting to regular tasting pasta. The pasta did not fall apart like Barilla and other brands. I'm sorry I dont know the brand. All the brands listed in the past posts I tried. They all fall apart when eating it, whether I cook them a short time or the recommended time. The new ones I bought at Walmart did not fall apart and were very tasty.

Congratulations!

Sign up on her website. She offers free seminars! I didn't buy any packages. I just did her free seminars. I found her books at the library.

Ahhhhh....Thank you!

linders Congrats for Georgetown acceptance! My Two Sils, one Bil and a neice went to Georgetown. They all loved it. Your ds will have a blast!

At one school, ds keeps getting something everytime we visit the school (we visited alot). He has a t-shirt, 2 knapsacks, 2 water bottles. He also received a Christmas card with a hand written note. All from one school. The others nothing.

Sometimes we make them at home but this NYD - so no cooking for us! We still live in PA but not in Philly. There is an Italian place where we have been getting our pizza this year and everytime we go in to pick up pizza, it smells like a place that would have good cheese steaks :) Sometimes you can get a good cheese steak in the oddest places, not just in PA. Do you buy the thin steaks like Steakums? Dh likes to get the butcher fresh beef that is sliced thin at the supermarket. But DH's Cheese Steaks are not quite the same as buying it in Philly. Do you chop up the thin steaks while frying it up in the pan?

NYE - best corned beef sandwiches and rye bread from the Philly area. My dh grew up with this for NYE. Also, shrimp cocktail, chips & salsa and I making this year eggnog cupcakes! NYD - Cheese steaks, of course. Being from Philly, this was a staple growing up in my teens.
