Only do this for someone you know well. I hate to be a cynic, but you are really putting yourself out there legally. This is horrid, but it has happened, what if they try to accuse you of some sort of abuse to get attention or money?
DO NOT go off of Craigslist.
I agree.
Personally, I wouldn't do it for free, but I might do it for a very low rate.

My 8 1/2 and almost 10 year olds are reading 1 chapter of Farmer Boy a day plus 15-20 minutes of history and science as required reading. They both read at night for pleasure.

I always start with a dusting of flour, then the egg/milk, then the coating.
This is what I do.
I had to read the thread title 3 times before I got it right. I thought it said "breeding fish". I'm off to get more coffee.

All those cookies track your activity. Get a cookie blocker and and an ad blocker.

Tell her to suck it up, stop blabbering, and either use the other paper or don't draw!
Ok, I'm kidding. That's just the kind of thing that goes through my head when these situations occur in our house. I swear I don't actually respond out loud like that. I count to 100 and then try to be sensitive.
Maybe I should have typed and deleted.

My husband works at a very physical job, where most of his coworkers are half his age. They all want a raise and work half as hard as he does. In addition, they show up late, call off at the last minute, and take long breaks.

Buy a kilt!
I'm told that for the greatest comfort you should stick to the heavyweight wool kilts. http://www.stillwaterkilts.com/kilts.html
If you just want one for umm, brief private use ;), the cheaper acrylics should be okay.

Cute idea, but non of my four were willing to have a hat on their head.

Stealing all their pants, and leaving them no choice? :D
Sounds good to me! Actually, I'm the primary clothing shopper, I could just replace all of his his pants with kilts.
There are some men I don't want to see in a kilt. Men with chicken legs comes to mind.

I don't track my food. I just don't have time. I don't eat processed foods, everything is homemade aside from a few items. I don't have time to input all the recipes and get the nutrition info. I don't measure my salad dressing portions, I apply enough salad dressing to my liking. Tracking my food would be incredibly time consuming.
I don't measure my portions. I just estimate my portion sizes.
Lately I'm using a lunch size plate for my dinner. I'm trying to have a large salad or large portion of vegetables. I take a tiny portion of potatoes/pasta/rice. I'm not going back for seconds, not matter how hungry I am or how good it tasted. I am fairly generous with my protein serving though. That helps keep me feeling full longer.
Yesterday I skipped lunch because I just wasn't hungry. I had breakfast at 10 (because I got up at 9). I didn't see the point of eating if I wasn't hungry.
I do lose weight doing this. I think tracking food and calories is only important if you eat unhealthy foods. I don't think people realize the amount of calories in junky food. I don't think people understand what a proper portion size is. For those people, I think tracking and calorie counting is important for weight loss. I don't think tracking is necessary for everyone.

Perfect Stepford wives with their perfect Stepford children.
I think that's an accurate description for me also. I also had this idea that the kids would wake up eager to learn and going running to the table. They would be enthusiastic, energetic and curious. They would be above grade level in all subjects.
I had no idea there would be kicking, screaming, stalling, and bad attitudes.

caries (dental)
I had never heard that word before a discussion a few months ago. Maybe because we've had no dental problems in our family.
As of today, stickybeak. Although I still don't think I know what it means.

I'm using Seamonkey.

I've been having that problem too, but I assumed it was my cookie blocker or some other anti-virus type thing my husband has on the computer. Oddly, when I start up in Linux I don't have this problem.
-
This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. :glare: In my opinion, delaying vaccines on newborns, whose brains and systems are still developing, is preferable.
:iagree:

Not as often as we would like. My husband is crazy about teA, but he works third shift. It does complicate things.

There's more things that I can't do than I can! I'm not listing them all. So I will just list a few of the things that I cannot do, that I wish I could.
Cake decorating. Yeah, I probably do better than the average person, but I wish I could really decorate gorgeous cakes.
Photography. I've taken a good picture once, and I'm certain it was a mistake.
I can't sew, but I am learning.
I cannot knit or crochet. I tried to learn to crochet when I was expecting my second child. But every time I sat down to work on it I either fell asleep or my toddler needed something.
These are all things that I think would be useful in my current career as a Mom that I wish I could do.
I can't tie a cherry stem in a knot with my tongue, but I'm beyond needing that skill these days.

I got one from Target yesterday.

Sparkpeople hates me. I have the worst time getting logged in and staying logged in. I don't have this problem anywhere else.

Pasta, dried beans and rice are all acceptable as well - not just canned goods.
I've never been to a food pantry, but I'm thinking that pasta, dried beans and rice are all pretty cheap and can be afforded on even the smallest budget.
I would think that someone that needs to go to a food pantry might like things like tuna, peanut butter (or other nutbutter), and canned fruit. Those things tend to be a little more expensive. Maybe even jelly/jam. Crackers. Crackers tend to be expensive and little kids love crackers. Canned vegetables would probably be good too.
Honestly, if I were the one donating I would be leaning toward the tuna and peanut butter. The poor live on a high carb diet (it's cheap). They would probably appreciate the change and could use the protein.

No.
I don't make anything anybody absolutely detests, but the menu does include things that are not considered favorites. I do make sure those meals do have something that the offended person really likes though.
As a toddler my oldest son liked everything I served. Somewhere around preschool age he got really picky, with a definite dislike of most meats, especially chicken and pork chops. I attempted to work with this situation for a few years and nearly drove myself insane. I put an end to it when he was about 6 and I haven't looked back. The older he gets, the more things he likes. He now even likes some chicken dishes, more than not actually.
The second child doesn't give me much trouble. She used to hate eggs but seems to be over it.
The third child will eat pretty much anything I put in front of him.
The youngest, so far, seems to be taking after the third child.

Quite often.

Who needs to date? I'm going to arrange their marriages for them.

Despite all the complaints I have about my children, I can honestly say they have never done anything like the OP described.
That kind of behavior would absolutely not be tolerated in our house and the two older children know it. The 3 1/2 year old, not so much. He doesn't quite understand all the rules yet. He's actually quite a handful compared to his older brother and sister and still hasn't done anything THAT destructive yet.
I am not claiming to be the perfect parent, or family, we have plenty of other issues!
I need easy lunch ideas

I avoid lunch meats and hot dogs for the same reason. But I wanted to let you know that I found out recently that Oscar Mayer has a hot dog that is both nitrate and nitrite free.
