I just serve out of the pot from the stove.

Hugs! Mean people suck.

It only shortens it by about 12 hours. Last time I got the flu in 2017. I spent a week in my bedroom with only my DH allowed to come in. I was the only one who got sick. I spent the first 3 days in bed and the rest of the time on the couch. I could have come out sooner but my DH wanted to make sure I wasn't contagious. I didn't bother going to the doctor since I knew it was the flu. The side effects of tamiflu are pretty bad.

I wouldn't but I don't share food. If my kids want something I have they get the rest of it. I don't share straws or drink out of the same cup/bottle either. I just can't do it. 😶

Tip for windows. Remove the screens. Makes the house look nicer outside and brighter inside.

We usually just do the ship excursions. Last cruise we toured Mayan ruins. It was fun but a long bus ride and took all the time we had onshore. I would not have wanted to do that on my own since the time was cutting it very close. If we were late then the ship would have waited since it was through the cruise but if we were on our own excursion they won't wait.

Sometimes people want to list their house at a certain $ amount that may not be actual market value. Their agent may have gotten the seller to agree to a lowered the price after talking with your agent so that a low offer isn't a shock to the seller.

I've been slowly going through my stuff starting last year. We're planning to move & downsize this spring. I really need to get through all of the stuff. I mentioned to my 13 yo this morning that I wanted her to find all the little pet shop toys so I can get them out of here since they haven't played with them in forever. She said that I was getting rid of her childhood. 🙄 Last night going through the movies I said we should get rid of one in particular since it's a really awful movie and DH said we need to keep it because it's a classic. 😬 I think that I'm going to just have to be the mean guy and toss everyone's crap since they aren't willing to part with it.

Two really good books written by our own MamaSheep: Dragon Ascending and Dancing with the Viper (which is currently free in ebook form on Amazon).

I usually look at the length of the trail & what is at the end. We like waterfalls. Also, I am horribly allergic to poison ivy so trailblazing is not ideal for me.

For my teens, they just have to provide an envelope with their name & address. They used the envelopes from their birthday cards. In GA, the price is the same. I don't believe that you have a choice about getting the Real ID or not. I didn't have to provide my marriage license because my SS card matches my married name and I use my maiden name as my middle name so the birth certificate matches too. It's been several years but I think they also used my old license as one of the two things needed to verify my address.

Our karate studio teaches a whole bunch of self defense techniques depending on how you are attacked. Little kids through adults can do these. Here's one of their videos (my son is the attacker).

Hugs. If you go on ravelry and find a hat pattern you like I can knit or crochet one for you.

I felt it here in GA. My bedroom door & windows were rattling. Woke me up. Thought there was a windstorm at first.

Too funny!

She's adorable and the quilt is perfect!

Yes

We always go to $5 Below for these things. At prior swaps: opened bag of candy, live chicks, paper towel holder, Valentine candy & balloon, knit hat with ears, already burned candle, etc. Some people put in useful things and other pure junk. Our swap with the girls at church is tonight. For this my 13 yo dd picked up a tv remote. I got a t-shirt of a kitten riding a shark. I can report back what other things are there when I get home. Our price limit for the girls is $5.

Congratulations!

We use multiple cloths each day. Minimum two, one for dishes & one for wiping the table & counters. Mine are all cotton and handmade (combination of knit and crochet). I can't even close the drawer that they're in because I have too many (at least 40). Ours are hung on the edge of the sink, over the faucet, or on the drying rack. Some of the kids will leave them wet in a ball in the sink.

I hang them on the sink to dry. Then they go in the basket with dirty towels. I don't use bleach. I just wash on hot. With 7 of us, I always have a load of towels.

I can barely roll from one side. I need more practice.

I would want to replace both front tires and then get the vehicle looked at to determine why the one tire wore more than the others (most likely an alignment issue).

I would think making the rectangle smaller would be the solution. That way there would be less to roll so they would be smaller.

If anyone sees a lap sized one let me know. I need something for my 5 yo to help him sit still when it's necessary.
