I have this. Love it!

Hey friend, I’ve been missing our chats! I’ve been wanting to try out (coffee shop/bakery/craft show) and was wondering if you'd like to come with me next (an evening or weekend)? Miss you!

Thank you for this! Possibly exactly what I needed at this very moment!

I don’t have anything to add (let’s just say mama sleeping was a top priority for me, whatever that meant on any given day), but I’ve been keeping up with the thread and thinking (again) what a kind and loving wealth of experience there is to draw from around here. Hugs to you all, and hugs and sweet dreams to the twins and their mom.

That sounds fantastic, and relaxing, and less of a headache all round!

This page has some ideas that I think fit your restrictions? - stuffed mushrooms - spicy edamame - fruit and cheese - shrimp salad appetizers - artichoke caprese platter - shrimp and cucumber canapés - layered hummus dip Hope that helps!

I was also born the year it came out but was about 12 when it was on reruns in order every weekend. I looked at all the teen magazines for posters and stuff, but nothing. That's when I found out what reruns were, sigh....

QFT. @Corraleno 100% hanging open. My cousin has unfortunately been in the hospital for a couple of weeks. They are doing MRIs of his spinal area a bit at a time. There’s no way he could afford that OOP. And as much as I complain about taxes, it’s really the other ways the money is mismanaged that I object to!

And once it’s up, it could just go over the 18” or whatever, I would assume….

My stove has a vent to the outside that goes up through the cabinet above the stove. The vent happens to be the microwave, but could be replaced with a hood vent. Is that what you mean?

I do give them change…. I try to do it before they’ve entered the cash amount in the till…. And I give it to them while saying, for example, “And here’s $1.30 so you can just give me a five back.” Fortunately I’m a trustworthy sort, lol, because quite often they have to think about it, or just believe me. I was breaking a fifty at our first stop across the border, and the cashier hit enter instead of $50.00. She had absolutely no idea how to count back the change. I did have some smaller stuff and offered to scrape up exact change for her, but the owner walked by, and declared it excellent practice, if I had the time…. Much to my DH who was in a hurry, I made the time, lol.

We are firmly in the absolutely not, the idea would never occur. I’ve read the thread. I’m open to new ideas. But nope, can’t do it, sorry!

That is amazing, and meets all my expectations! Mystery and intrigue, goodwill of ordinary man doing extraordinary things overpowers skepticism, and now suspense. It’s got everything!

Is there a matching monolith? Have you discovered how to transport between them? I too wish I was anywhere near there….

The whole situation is just not worth it to me. If he’s looking for a summer adventure with friends, I feel like there are better paying ones (maybe harder, maybe not) for better pay and living conditions.

Sounds like normal amounts for my 18yo and a mere snack for the still getting taller every day 16yo, but I agree even they don’t eat that proportion of carby stuff.

My Cuisinart espresso machine served me very well until I decided I wanted to grind the beans myself and ended up spending a lot more money…. But the original machine was just a basic Cuisinart, and it was perfect for what I wanted - espresso and steamed/frothy milk.

Oh, I am so sorry. That is really rough.

That is just amazing.

I would think non-jeans and a collared shirt. Probably even a golf/polo shirt or a dressy shirt with no tie.

Where are the signs? How big? I’m imagining a Seuss-y feel… or maybe more

I just want 🍿 guy back

I vote either B-husband or C-self-feeding cats. Most likely he thinks A is the evening food, and will protest with his dying breath that it’s always been so.

I feel like maybe this is the whole point of running through the parking lot, while your parents hold your hands, going “Weeeeeeeeee” and swinging!

I’m sorry. Please reach out if you need to talk. You are not alone.
