[Sick and planning a netflix binge...]

I just started watching Ripper Street. 

[Simple things you never saw going wrong.]

Mine clog up the toilet with the Scott so I never get the "good" stuff.

[A short MIL rant that I am sure will be funny someday]

:confused1:  Oh my. Yes, I'm sure it will be funny some day. 

[What are you getting grandparents that have everything for the holidays?]

We make food baskets that we send (apple butter, candied nuts, cookies, chocolate dipped pretzels, etc). We used to order from Harry & David but it's so expensive for what you're actually getting. We put it in one of the "if it fits it ships" boxes from the PO. This year I'm going to add in crocheted coasters for my MIL since she mentioned how much she liked mine when she was visiting. 

[The most boring job in the world]

Peppermint essential oil to sniff when he starts to feel drowsy.

[s/o Who do you expect to take care of your elderly relatives?]

I know with my personality and the personalities of both sets of parents that I could not handle them living with us. We each have a sister and I don't know if either of them would take in the parents. I've told both sets that they need to plan on something other than living with us if they can't live alone.  :leaving:

[What's going on with people! RTR's - "Run Through Reds"]

I don't see that but for some reason I always see people making a u-turn on red.  :confused1: The cross traffic has the green and they make a u-turn. I don't understand the reasoning there.

[Large Carseat Recall PSA and question]

Thanks. I have a Radian but not sure which model #. Will have to check it out.

[Minecraft question]

I have a world that I created in 1.10 but if I open it in 1.12 it will corrupt that file. You usually get a warning to let you know. I have multiple versions in the launcher and just choose the one that I need for that file. For us to play together on single player you have to "open to LAN" for everyone else to see & join in. Does that help?

[Aaack! Invaded by copperheads. What can I do?]

I'd call a wildlife removal company and see what they can do. We found a 4-5 fl long shed skin but it was a good snake so left it alone. If it had been a poisonous one we would have paid someone else to deal with it. 

[Minecraft question]

Did she open it in the same version she created it? That will corrupt a world. 

[My brother died. This is trivial, but...can you help me find a dress?]

:grouphug: So sorry for your loss. I think the dress you posted is perfectly acceptable.

[Halloween-what are you doing this year?]

My kids keep changing what they want to be. We have Trunk or Treat at church, there is a party at our karate studio, and then we'll do the neighborhood trick or treating. MIL is sending the kids a giant blow-up decoration for the front yard.  :confused1:  I don't know why. We already have all the decorations we want or need.

[My heart wrenching afternoon]

:grouphug:  :grouphug:

[Grandma in the tub with littles]

I think it's odd and would not be happy about it. Up to about 4-5, I would shower with my kids if I needed them clean and didn't have time for them to take a bath. 

[Crochet pattern in Esperanza Rising?]

Chevron's should be easy but I just can't master them.

[State guardianship for the elderly . New Yorker article details a nightmare]

:crying:  That's crazy!

[Facebook question]

Mine's the same but when I opened it on my phone this morning I got the "we've updated" message. As to the not being able to share thing, that has to do with the settings of the person who posted. 

[How to word this?]

I keep trying this as we have so many freaking toys but my IL's just do what they want. They also spend way too much $. And it has to be the same amount spent on each kid. So the older kiddos get 1-2 gifts and the littles get 6-7 because the older kid stuff costs more.  :willy_nilly:

[If you need a tempting dessert like a hole-in-the-head, and have a TJs (or internet access), don't read this thread!]

Aldi's carries them too. Not as big as the ones from TJ's though.

[Someone Congratulate Me on Being Pregnant]

:hurray: Congratulations!!  :party:

[So much going wrong]

:grouphug:  :grouphug:

[I'm a Bad Mom]

:grouphug: I have one that keeps getting sick. We have really crappy insurance so DH gets really irritated as she always gets sick on the weekends. He's still upset about her Dec visit to the urgent care which sent us to the ER. Of course we're still paying on that one. She was diagnosed with "mild" pneumonia. He focuses on the mild and thinks I shouldn't have taken her in.  :glare:

[Question about hot dogs]

I said other because I used brown or spicy mustard not yellow mustard.  :drool5:

[Have you ever done a Credit Freeze or Security Freeze?]

Yes we did a freeze in the past. Clark Howard has info on his website of how to do it. Depending on your state you may have to pay for it. It was super cheap (less than $5). It can be a pain in the butt because you have to have it lifted to do anything credit related (open new account, buy house, buy car, etc). Our state we have to pay to have it lifted too.
