I'd err on the side of caution and skip it.
-
Less hair everywhere except my chin and upper lip (sigh).
-
DH does ours with Turbo Tax. I just nod and approve.
-
I would assume it's supposed to be a drawn out version of yeah. Kind of like if someone typed "yeeessss." But it doesn't seem very Irish!
-
I was thinking that, too.
-
Yes. Mine stayed home alone for short periods of time when they were significantly younger than that.
-
Age? Because there's a vast difference in what I would expect from a 13 yo versus a 18-19 yo.

This winter, for the first time in about ten or eleven years, I actually felt downright cold a few times. It was so wonderful. Glorious and heavenly are the words that come to mind. Ditto. One size longer and wider. I don't know how much is "just" age and how much is from arthritis.

And more things can be simultaneously true: She has a right to privacy She had to know when she married so high into the royal family that she was going to be in the spotlight There's nothing wrong with people being curious about what's going on
-
Yes. I'm one of those people who usually pays no attention at all to the royal family. I've got much more interesting things to do, like watching the grass grow (yes, generally that's really more interesting to me than celebs of any sort). But even my curiosity has been piqued by the secrecy.

Can we talk about "fundie baby voice" without getting political?
Pawz4me replied to Eos's topic in The Chat Board
Seriously. I do not get it. At all. And FWIW I have two of them on the periphery of my life. One makes a little extra money, the other could probably live on what he makes, although influencing isn't his main job and he doesn't want it to be. But they're both quite normal, everyday people. The tradwife thing has been written about by various news outlets I read. I suppose because it crosses over into the political realm. I have no idea what #sadbeigechildren means, though. As far as Katie Britt--I'd never heard of her until the SOTU rebuttal. But I read somewhere that the entry level model of the fridge in her kitchen starts out at $10k. So that kinda clued me in that she's not exactly representative of Average US Mom. -
I don't see how Medicaid wouldn't take a hard look at a loan like that? Wouldn't you have to show what the loan was for--like if it was used as a down payment for a house or a big remodeling project or something maybe it would pass muster. But if your parents "loan" you a hunk of money and you stick it in a CD I don't think that's going to pass review by Medicaid. But I have no actual experience with Medicaid, so take that FWIW.

But that sort of makes it seem even weirder, doesn't it? I'd think if she's experienced at editing, and since it was her own picture she would have been picky about getting it right.
-
Now Catherine is saying she altered the photo herself (WaPo, gifted). That doesn't really seem at all believable to me, but I'm not a royal follower.

I would think the AP has an expert(s) on fake/manipulated images, or that they consulted multiple experts. I think they had to have a high degree of confidence it is manipulated before they pulled it and created a hullabaloo. They're as reputable as a news outlet gets and were put in a very tough spot. Initially they would have had no reason to suspect it was fake, given who released it. But once they figured it out . . I think it speaks to their reputation, and their confidence that it is manipulated, that they pulled it. And it makes me sad that we've sunk to the point where even the English royal family is releasing manipulated (and apparently not just airbrushed-to-take-away-a-zit-or-under-eye-bags) images. Some paparazzi trying to make a name, or some deplorable on Xitter -- yes, we should all expect that by now. But not this.
-
I wouldn't let her have any more peanut butter or anything else fatty for now. I'd stick with bland things--think the dog version of the BRAT diet. Some well cooked white rice and skinless white meat chicken would be good.
-
It sounds like some sort of gastroenteritis (blood in stool plus shaking, which is often a sign of pain). It could be from some unknown bug, something like giardia, or something she ate that just didn't agree with her. You definitely need to take her in. At the least I suspect she needs a course of metronidazole, and possibly a Cerenia injection to help the vomiting/calm her tummy.
-
She’s still dry heaving? If so then no, I wouldn’t try to coerce her to eat. Do try to get her to drink a little water regularly, or lick some ice cubes. Preventing dehydration is more important than eating.

Me either. I don’t recall ever hearing anyone speak like her or Michelle Duggar. -
Not our experience at all (and we've used Corelle for 35+ years).

Plates will get hot when the food on them gets hot and the heat transfers. So if you're microwaving something on high for eight or ten minutes then the plates get pretty warm. But if you're just heating up some leftovers for a minute or two they don't get more than a little warm. Or at least that's my perception. If we're heating up soup or something similarly liquidy we place the bowl in a cozy. ETA: I feel like my hands are very heat tolerant (from a bazillion years of cooking??) so maybe give more weight to what others say if there are differing opinions.

Adult (over 18) children continuing to live at home for as long as they want has always been the norm in my family and among my friends' families. I lived with my parents until I was almost 23. My friends moved out of their parents' homes somewhere in that same general age range. DH and his sister ping ponged in and out of their parents' house throughout their early/mid 20's. I don't recall any stigma at all, although it's possible there was and I was just clueless. I really didn't pay any attention to what others thought. Likewise, DS25 still lives with us and no one questions it. We have nieces and nephews older than him who are still living with their parents. Some are doing it because of housing costs but most are doing it just because it makes sense and allows them to sock away money rather than throwing it away on rent.
