I do. -
What did you eat growing up? (s/o Duggar food)
kewb replied to Ginevra's topic in General Education Discussion Board
My mom was actually a pretty healthy cook (if one can overlook the steady stream of fried food). She rarely bought processed foods of any kind. I can still remember begging her to buy Kraft Macaroni & Cheese, Rice a Roni, and Chef Boyardee. Which she never did. The few bad things we had: Fluff. I can remember coming home from school and my sister and I would dig in with our spoons. Deviled Underwoods Chicken Spread on white bread or crackers. I don't know what my mother was thinking. Special Treat when she would buy Count Chocula. Usually our cereal choices were Rice Krispies or Raisin Bran. -
What to do with a student who won't work?
kewb replied to KristineinKS's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I didn't want to read and run but I truly have little help to offer. My 13 year old is the same way. Everything this year has been a struggle. I usually sit him down every couple of weeks and discuss with him how if he can't do his work I really will have no choice but to send him back to school. That in order for homeschooling to work he has to do his part and if he is not going to then I don't need to be giving him my time. This usually helps for a couple of days. -
My dh bought me a couple of the books in the series. It was very thoughtful of him. I don't think I have made a recipe from any of them.

Where do you all live that your doors aren't locked?!
kewb replied to *********'s topic in General Education Discussion Board
Growing up we always had large, scary looking dogs. Our door was rarely locked. When I was a teen the last person home would lock the door and turn off the light. My dh was horrified when we were dating and learned how our door was rarely locked. He spent his formative years in Da Bronx. 19 years of marriage later, I have learned to keep the front door locked. However, there is a pretty good chance none of the other doors are locked. But that is ok because I have a big, scary looking dog. -
As a guest in someone's home, would you do this?
kewb replied to Occasionally's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I have done it. In my younger years I was quite righteous in my belief that my way was the right way. Somewhere over the last decade or two it no longer became important. I am just happy when there is tp in there. -
I like you better on facebook song
kewb replied to itsheresomewhere's topic in General Education Discussion Board
That song cracks me up. I actually posted it on my wall a few days ago. -
No snow here. And I doubt there will be any this winter because we purchased a snow blower after the Halloween snow storm.

How often does your 11 YO boy cry?
kewb replied to Moxie's topic in General Education Discussion Board
When ds was 11 he cried over everything and anything. It is the hormones. This too shall pass. -
The kids and I each have a fanny pack. Wallet, tickets, hotel key, and a wet washcloth in a ziploc bag for cooling off the back of the neck. Dh carries the backpack. In it we have snacks, bottles of water, sunscreen, and a small towel for wiping things down.

In the food category: I love ketchup on pasta. My mother served it up that way throughout my childhood. I don't think she discovered tomato sauce until 1979. Weird quirks: When I go to bed at night the bedroom door has to be cracked open 1" . It can not be closed all the way or open more than that or I am unable to sleep.

Salad bowl questions
kewb replied to Jean in Newcastle's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I always make prepare my salad in my wood chopping bowl. Similar to this one: http://hollandbowlmill.com/xcart/product.php?productid=162&cat=0&page=1 I store my salad in my glass snapware. Sometimes, if the fridge is crowded I will put it in a ziploc bag. Leftover tomato bits have never been an issue. -
Sick to death of dicing onions
kewb replied to stephanier.1765's topic in General Education Discussion Board
When I am truly motivated I cut up a bunch and freeze them. If I am super motivated I get the Costco size box of vidalia onions. Chop them, throw them in the crockpot with some coconut oil and cook on low for 6-8 hours, then freeze the cooked onions. Anytime a recipe calls for sauteed onions I just break out a chunk, throw it in the pan, and carry on with my cooking. -
How do I prevent greasy hair?
kewb replied to LuvingLife's topic in General Education Discussion Board
My dd has oily hair. She needs to wash it every day. I have found that what helps greatly is once a week I wash her hair with Dawn dish detergent. Sometimes, when she can't shower I use the dry shampoo. I have also used corn starch. I find the corn starch works better than the baby powder. -
I usually use romaine or red leaf lettuce for my base. Standard additions here (based on seasonal availability)are: carrots cucumber tomato mushrooms green & red peppers corn peas onion celery string beans turnips radishes broccoli cauliflower

S/O Premium Dog food suggestions...
kewb replied to mama2cntrykids's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I do a combination of raw and kibble. My dog is just to large for me to feed him 100% raw. I use Holistic Select and sometimes Blue Buffalo for the kibble. Sometimes I cook him up an egg and some veggies. I think your best bet is to do mail order for a quality dry food. The stuff most of the supermarkets carry is just not good for them. -

Dr. Hive - plantar warts? (and a thank you)
kewb replied to Spryte's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Yes, that is what happens. Wart turns black and then falls off. -
I have had success with the gentle leader. http://www.gentleleader.com/View.aspx?page=dogs/products/eco/gentleleader. Our dog is close to 80lbs. Once I started using the gentle leader pulling stopped being an issue.

Converting a night owl into a morning person
kewb replied to Critterfixer's topic in General Education Discussion Board
My dh is a night owl. It takes a lot of effort on his part to shift his body clock so he can get to bed early and be up in time for work. When left to his own devices he happily stays up all night and sleeps most of the day. With me being a morning person, well, lets just say sometimes we only see each other a few minutes a day. My dd shows all of his night owl tendencies. She is happy as a clam listening to him explain weather patterns at one in the morning. -
What is your dogs name?
kewb replied to Michelle My Bell's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Our dogs name is Noble. He came from the shelter with that name and when we looked at him we knew he was named correctly. He is our noble steed. Such a shana punim my pup has. (Pretty face for those who do not know yiddish)
