I seriously miss all the fun around here every single time. :nopity: Years ago I was on a huge scrapbooking message board and I remember a couple of big scandals like that where a troll created this huge persona and had all this drama, and then it was so much fun when we figured it out :lol:

Ugh. I probably won't be renewing either. My copy is still sitting in the plastic wrap. I almost started a thread about them a couple of months ago when I got a previous issue. I got TOS a few years ago, for a couple of years, and then dropped it. And then got suckered in with one of their special deals so the mag was super cheap. The last couple of issues I've noticed a lot of 'keep them home where they belong' stuff and that really rubs me the wrong way. I was wondering if that was a newer stance that they've chosen to talk more about, or if it was always there and just didn't bother me a few years ago??? Either way, it's annoying, and their emails drive me up the wall. I send them to my spam folder now because they are always selling something and it's always over the top subject lines and it drives me crazy.

A fascinating read on this topic is the book Confederates in the Attic. Really interesting stuff. One of the things he mentions in the book is something like 1 in 4 people living in the South today have direct ancestors that fought in the war, whereas in the North it's something like 1 in 20. So for people in the south, it's directly related to their history, so it's something they want to keep alive.

Even if you're right, what about them dumping out all the milk? That has nothing to do with permits, and they're charged with a conspiracy to sell raw milk. It's not just a permit issue. The whole thing is ridiculous. I can't even think about it b/c it makes me so mad.Other sources have mentioned that this is not a first offence for this person and that the issue is not the raw products but rather the lack of permits. I know it's frustrating to see the law go after a cheese seller when their are drug dealers around but frankly, breaking the law is breaking the law and at some point it needs to be dealt with.I'm really suspicious of the spin this story is getting.

I'm a night owl, dh is not. :glare: and I do like having my evenings to relax. I have found that I get more done during the day once I'm up early.As you can see, we are night owls, not morning people, so we make it work.
I agree!!! He drives me up a wall.And spending time with Tony Horton any time before noon is torture to me.
sigh. probably not. That seems to be a consensus here, so I guess I need to eat more. I get really lax on lunch and snacks for me b/c it seems like I'm always cooking and I just get burned out on dealing with food and meals :tongue_smilie:Are you eating enough protein and drinking enough water?
I wish I could!!! I started c25k this summer, and pulled my achilles tendon, and then hurt my knee.....I've never exercised before in my life. So my dh figured I just didn't have any muscles built up to do any kind of running, so I started this to help that, so I don't hurt myself seriously.Maybe you should try running, lol.
oh that's the best part of p90x. You rotate every day. So yesterday my butt and legs were super sore, and today it's my arms and abs that are super sore, and tomorrow is crazy yoga x which means everything gets sore :D and then on Friday my legs and abs get to hurt gain. And I'm kind of a wimp, so super sore probably isn't that accurate :tongue_smilie:super sore muscles *all the time* indicates working out too hard for the muscles to recover. if you're doing stength training, muscles groups shouldn't be worked more than every other day. (rotate groups).I guess I just need to eat more during the day. What a hassle, lol

I don't know if this really goes along with the herbs and healing or not...and it's probably not super historical fiction :tongue_smilie: but I thought of it as I read your post...I loved this book growing up, and it's all nature-y and stuff, and fairly realistic/time-periodwise, LOL. My grandma had the book, and I don't know who ended up with it when she died. I still wish I had gotten it, and it's been 17 years. Especially when I just saw the price on amazon. :001_huh: Holy cow. Anyway, it's A Girl of the Limberlost

I was going to say the exact same thing, lol. That book was great!I've never been, but I recently read a book called The Wilder Life about a woman who went to all of those places. I got the book on eLoan from my library. Now I want to do the tour too. -
were you really ornery when you first started? :tongue_smilie: Dh started doing p90x 7 weeks ago, and he's been getting up at 5:30 to do it before work. I started it with him last week. He has been grumpier than normal for most of the 7 weeks, and now so am I :glare: I don't know if it's the getting up early (sometimes I go back to bed or take a nap) or having super sore muscles allll the time, or if we're detoxing junk in our sweat or what. We're out of our good multivitamins, so I'm going to buy some more of those and see if that helps, but I don't know if I can keep this up once school starts. I don't want to be so on edge all day when we are doing school.

Do you already have a Dyson? It can be used on carpet and hardwood, and they have awesome extensions to do stairs. I wouldn't buy another one just for hardwood and stairs. :confused: Unless it's just so you can have another one on another level and not have to haul it around.

So this is a 16 or 18 yo girl, and people are asking her that? And asking your dd's that? I think it's a tad rude at that age. It's one thing if someone is 25 and it's fairly common to have a significant other by that age. But I wouldn't expect a 16 or 18 to have someone like that, and I wouldn't want them to think they have to have someone special at that age. I would be annoyed by it.A friend of my dds is over tonight. -
We have Castle Keep and Forbidden Island and those are both fun. Dh and I have to keep our mouth's shut and let them figure out what we should do for Forbidden Island, or else it's really easy and boring for us....but when we let them plan the moves, half the time we all die, so that makes it more exciting, LOL.

I was just looking these up the other day. If you look on cbd, they have sample pages and toc you can look at.

I have the same phone, only it's the Optimus V b/c I got it from Virgin Mobile and not Sprint...I love it. It's my first cell phone in 11 years, lol, so I love it even more. The virtual keyboard is pretty handy..sometimes it drives me nuts with misspelling. I use the google reader all the time for blogs. I have the Kindle and Google books app, but so far haven't really used them. The only app that I might pay for is a pdf reader one...There aren't any good free ones and it's really driving me nuts not to have one. You'll want to get JuiceDefender. It minimizes what programs run in the background so it saves a ton of battery juice.

I have a really good memory, but I'm not organized at all. I'm trying to be school-wise, but other than that, not really.....why do I need to be super organized, when I remember where everything is? :D
Mine could be b/c I have synesthesia and I use that a lot for memorizing stuff, so maybe I'm not the typical good memory person???
-
Then I wouldn't ever post anything online, ever. :confused: I don't want strangers seeing pics of my kids or even hearing what I did that day or where I'm going tomorrow night....but I want my actual friends to know that, so I post it on FB. I do use the privacy settings tho, to weed out nosy family members :DIf there's something I wouldn't want a complete stranger to know, I don't post it online. Period. And I use Facebook as a way to make new friends, as well as keep in touch with the old ones. -
well, I've never really exercised in my life, so.......only 89 more days to go :thumbup:not what I expected, but better. I thought it would be more like P90. -
How does Insanity compare to P90x? My dh has been doing P90x for 5 weeks, and I just started it with him this morning. :tongue_smilie:

Wow this is great! I'm making artist and musician studies a big part of our year next year, since it always gets pushed to the side. I'm really excited to use this to help give me some more ideas. I had never heard of the Art in Story book - that is definitely on my to-buy list!

I have Virgin Mobile and love it. I bought the new LG smartphone they have, and I only pay $25 a month. I get unlimited text and web, and 300 minutes.

I don't know. I could be wrong, but I think the plant is still doing something to them to make them viable seeds; I don't think it's just a matter of them drying out. I think they have to be ready before you can take them out. But I'm not sure. I always wait until they're ready before I take them, but I get impatient too, esp. when they look so ugly.

So I've been looking at this all day, and I'm wondering if Roku is the way to go or not....if we get some kind of wire, dh says we can hook the computer directly to the tv. So wouldn't that serve the same purpose? Or can you only get all those channels with the Roku box?
-
another question - if you had roku but no cable or local tv, is there a way to watch live football games? I see that NFL network is on hulu, but dh said it's not live on hulu.
-
wow, I've never heard of Roku. This looks really cool. I have a question...on that private channel link that someone posted, there is a section for adult channels. Is there any kind of privacy settings for Roku? With cable I can block channels, and set a code so no one can get into the menu to unblock channels. Is there a similar thing for Roku?

I think time will help, too. It's only been 3 weeks. I think if you keep encouraging her and providing her with supplies, she will keep going with it and enjoy it. I looked up an art college near us and showed that to dd to show her what she could do if she pursued her art, and how you can do lots of things with it.

I can't WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think I might even be more excited than dh, and that's saying a lot :D:D
:iagree::iagree::iagree: But my teams are the Lions :tongue_smilie: and the Colts...well really just Peyton Manning but I'll take them all!
