My children completely agree with you. They also believe that it must be sliced by someone else.I just slice into circles, but did vote also for long ways....in case of banana splits.
Bananas must be sliced though. For some reason they taste a lot better that way.

Our house was on the market last spring. We moved out and were up in the mountains (about 90 minutes away) during the open house. Our agent texted that it went well, but someone had "explosive diarrhea" in one of our bathrooms during the course of the day. She texted a picture. It was extremely gross. She knew we were up in the mountains but did not even flush the toilet, much less clean it up or offer to send in a cleaner.

Oh, no! I just prayed for both of them.

Thank you for pointing this out. Voting for only one felt so wrong! LOLCool. I love fun food creations!
(Btw, there is the ability to vote for more than one way of banana slicing in the poll.)

Congratulations!

I chose circles because that's the method I use most frequently. I cut them lengthwise for sandwiches sometimes, but I halve them first, then cut each half in several slices. I make fun fruit animals sometimes, banana circles have served as owl eyes, but I prefer kiwis for that purpose.

Boat or Snow. I'm in a different part of Colorado than Margaret and have never heard the "skift" pronunciation.

I have been following and am sorry but not surprised. I hope you have an excellent attorney, and that you are in a state with laws that recognize the equal contribution you've made to X's career.
I'm sure you are talking to the attorney regarding the rent situation. You may be better positioned if you pay rent to your sister, or move, or not. Make sure you are running everything financial past your attorney!
Hugs!

DD will use it on anything that doesn't move fast or have fur. She likes to make collage book/notebook covers, cover her pens & pencils, make tiny flags for cords, straws, decorate makeup cases. Temporary art installations on walls, fixtures, and non antiques furniture. Siblings. Car interior. I'm going to stop writing now, but I could go on and on!

These have worked very well for us.I like the intex inflatable mattresses. They have a built in air pump and are reasonably comfortable and easy to store. The raised comfort one is around $40 for a twin but the price varies quite a bit. I put prices watches on and grab them when the price drops. I've bought the more expensive ones and they don't last any longer.

It really varies by jurisdiction. I'm watching a case right now where a nearly 16 year old is being forced to remain with her battering parent. This is a good kid, with evidence. In many jurisdictions, she would be free to choose. Not here. Internet advice on family law topics is a problem because jurisdictions vary wildly not only in their statutes, but in their practice.No not really. Besides I am not an attorney and not giving legal advice. My my own advice.
What everyone 'thinks' family court looks like is very different from the reality. And by the time a kid is 16 the courts just dont care. They still care about cs....and like I said that is a different issue.

You have a complicated case, especially because you are dealing with two states. There is a federal act which governs interstate custody jurisdiction, and lays out rules regarding parental kidnapping. I am BEGGING you to get not one, but two attorneys. You need one in each state. Look for attorneys who specialize in family law and know the local judges well. There is the law, and then there are the judges. There is little recourse and oversight with these judges, so it is critical that you work with an attorney who knows how the system really works, not just how it is supposed to work.
You may obtain temporary emergency jurisdiction in your state, but it will be kicked back to the home state. Obtaining temporary emergency jurisdiction can sometimes really offend the home state court. Sometimes it's a good move. This is why you need two lawyers, they can figure out your first move. You need to be prepared to go to court in the home state.
No one can tell you exactly what to do, because these cases are complex and involve state and federal law, and the particulars of your situation. More importantly, they often turn on the whims of the judges in the juridicrion. It could be a nightmare, it could be easy, it could be something in between.
Sell something, borrow from family, do whatever you can to build a chunk of change quickly. Understand that every lawyer could fill their calendar with worthy pro bono cases, so don't ask them to do it for free. Tell them what you can pay today, and make clear that you will find a way to cover all hard costs. It's easier to say yes to a little money and a promise to pay costs than it is to no money and the knowledge that you are going to have to cough up your own money on top of it.
My heart goes out to your family. The bright spot is DSD's age. Many jurisdictions will simply let a 16 year old decide, but you need legal advice before you do anything.

I make purée cannellini beans with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, and a little salt. People love it!

Super!OP, it appears this is over the counter now. It has urea in it. No peeing in the shower. I am not sure if the product that is not specifically for nails has the urea in it or not. http://www.kerasal.com/products/nail-renewal/
The applicator sticks are effective. When they were Rx, they were EXPENSIVE.
Black tea and coconut oil with lavender are happening. I was planning to start bleach soaks until DH said, "What if you kill it before you see the Doctor, and then it comes back? Then you will need another appointment." So the bleach attack will wait a few more days.
I'm disappointed that no one has recommended that I go to a beach destination, swirl my feet in the ocean, and bury them in warm sand.

It sounds like he had that pitting thing!So, DH doesn't remember what it was. I do remember there was some putting on the bottom of his foot. And that he was told to wash with Dial antibacterial soap. Sorry I'm not more help!
As to the extreme methods, no judgment, but I'm not there yet!

Thank you for being such a blessing to this little girlâ¤ï¸
I would talk to the parents (is their a dad?). "Neighbor, We love having Jane over at our place. Lately I've noticed that she is coming to our back yard when we're not home. I'm a little concerned (and so on and so forth). What do you think?"
Maybe you can find a solution that feels good to you without taking the space away, like limiting the areas of the property she can use when alone.
The liability issue is a real thing, but probably a small risk.

Yes, that is reassuring!If it makes you feel any better, I told everyone about my yeasty lady parts. 😳
As for extreme methods in the shower. NO!

I like the idea of the botanical/herbal remedies, but I'm really hearing the siren song of bleach.

Yes on the sanitation. I did not detail all of the extreme measures (it was already a loooong post) but anything that touches my feet is treated like a bio-hazard. I use hydrogen peroxide to disinfect, but per Schadenfreude, I think I will switch to bleach.Are you practicing good sanitation practices to prevent reinfection--no barefoot in house, bleaching out shower, etc?
I think the above advice is good, but I am a bit worried that your body hasn't been able to kick this yet.
-
Thanks, this is helpful!Diluted bleach baths are used routinely for some people with eczema, so it sure won't hurt anything. A capful per ten gallons is what people use for MRSA to give you an estimate of strength.
They are in coconut oil now and feel a little better🙂 If nothing else, it's a comfort measure.

I hate bleach so much, but your symptoms sound very much like mine. I think I'll pick some up at Target tomorrow. I'm glad they let you out of those boots, that must have been awful!I was in the military during their all leather black boot phase and got something like that. Apparently there is an athlete's foot fungus that can only be killed by bleach or urine and requires a prescription foot cream for months. All of my socks were bleached after each wear, my shower floor was sprayed with bleach daily, and I was given permission to wear tennis shoes. It took about 6 months for it to heal. I had no other issues then smelly feet and an extreme burning itch.
-
I definitely eat my fair share of (organic! Live cultures!) yogurt. I'll add it to my slathering list.Don't know anything about feet, but yogurt, taken internally and possibly externally as a soak can't hurt and might help.

I don't think she knew that someone was using the bathroom. At the time it bothered me that she did *nothing.* We are friends, so I thought that made it even stranger. Oh, well! We are still friends, and now it's just a weird story! We sent a cleaner😷
