  1. My parents ended up paying for an efficiency apt for my older sister because she was too disruptive. I was a senior in high school when she was a freshman in college. She would talk on the phone in her room into the early morning hours (1-2) and keep me awake. I would ask her to please be quiet and she would be rude to me. I would then wake up my mother. My mom got annoyed with being woken so she made my sister move out. They found an efficiency apt in the house of a friend of the family so she could kinda keep track of my sister.
  2. One of those links I posted has a whole section about converting recipes. Both of your recipes can be converted or you can search for one similar to what you do and then just tweak the recipe to your needs.
  3. I don't have the IP just a normal electric pressure cooker. I love it! There are a bunch of websites with great info. I find that the meat is tender and moist with this compared to the crock pot. Like others have said, you can saute/brown in the cooker and then add the rest of the ingredients to cook. Super easy. http://www.hippressurecooking.com/ http://www.pressurecookingtoday.com/ http://nomnompaleo.net/recipeindex/#_=_ Go to the Pressure Cooker/Instant Pot category
  4. I downloaded the game to try it out. It is so glitchy. On our normal 3 mile walk in the neighborhood I found about 20 pokemon but was only able to collect 4. I had to keep restarting the game. There's no way that my kids will have the patience for that. Also, this game is a total battery hog!
  5. Our house is 5 BR, 4 BA, on 3/4 acre, around 3500 sq ft. Close to your specs. Our neighborhood is selling in the low $300's right now but we have 9 new subdivisions going in with much less property priced around the same. So I'm anticipating our neighborhood to go up in price soon.
  6. We have 5 kids and 5 bedrooms. The two younger girls share a room. Our house is around 3500 sq ft but the bedrooms (other than the master) are small. We're talking about moving to a new house and I told DH that I would rather have an additional bedroom instead of the formal living room & formal dining room.
  7. We never got the instructors anything. One of my son's students that he had to mentor while working on his black belt did get him a Christmas gift.
  8. Do bodyweight exercises (push-ups, planks) to start. I started with 3 lb hand weights in Dec. I'm now up to 12 lb hand weights but need to increase my weights again.
  9. I'm in the same boat. My hairstylist cut my hair way too short. I hated how I looked so I've been growing it out for 2 years now. I did have a couple of inches cut off since I'm trying to grow my bangs out so my hair will be all one length. My bangs are down to my chin now. I just don't know what to do with my hair next. I switch from leaving in down to wearing it up.
  10. We have a black car and a white van. Both show the dirt so if you like to have a clean looking car don't get either color. The black does hold the heat which is horrible here in the south.
  11. :huh: Seriously! Thanks to your DH for standing up for them.
  12. What a pain! Glad your DD is ok. Looks like you got a lot of good advice here. Good luck!!
  13. For my last two we just used a pack n play. Had one with the bassinet insert and then just the normal pnp after. I did do some co-sleeping for the nurse all the time stage.
  14. 28 with my first and just a few weeks short of 42 with my last.
  15. My OB wanted me to see a high risk doc solely based on my age. I asked him if the diagnostic ultrasound that they do at 20 weeks is any different than what the specialist would do. He said no so we made a deal that if there was anything weird on that scan that I would then see the specialist. Everything was fine so we saved on the hassle, stress, and expense of having to see a different doc.
  16. I tried the pregnancy boards with my last pregnancy because it had been awhile since my 4th baby. Oh my, the drama! I did get some good info on cloth diapers and new baby products that weren't around the last time. I turned 42 a couple of weeks after baby was born so if you have any questions feel free to ask away.
  17. I have a 6 qt Cuisinart electric pressure cooker. I double all the time for my family. As long as you stay below the "fill" line then you're good.
  18. This is the best recipe and super easy http://nomnompaleo.com/post/76137606724/pressure-cooker-mexican-beef
  19. I really dislike using the middle name as the primary name. My husband's family did this. When he started kindergarten he started to use his first name but his family still kept using his middle name. To this day he has family using his middle name and sending us mail to Mr & Mrs middle name. As to Jr, etc. My dad is a III and if either my sister or I were boys we would have been a IV. My dad hated being a 3rd and dropped it from his name as soon as he was an adult.
  20. You didn't describe that properly. Because what happened when they were done was that they tossed the strap-on toward the camera and it landed with a juicy splat. :ack2: It was such a gratuitous sex scene.
  21. I'd stay in the first place since it's significantly larger. I can see why the landlord won't replace the carpet. He's probably figuring that with little ones he'd have to replace it again. When you asked him about doing it did you give him quotes of what it would cost using your contacts?
