Many (hugs) I think you'd need to go into this able to both pay the mortgage on your own and also plan on it being a hoard.

If she's truly stuck with this daycare provider I hope she can get an EpiPen and very clear instructions to leave with the daycare along with a sample letter to send to other families. Maybe fear of administering the EpiPen would get them to actually send the letter and try to actually care for the kids they're paid to care for.

Making Coffee at Home – for Dummies – Aeropress/Other Options

Chemex is my favorite! I'm surprised about the cold brew. I thought it made something very concentrated and you added hot or cold water to each serving. You saved me an experiment! -
Unreasonable wedding requests--tell me your stories
happi duck replied to Harriet Vane's topic in The Chat Board
The one thing asked of my then future mil was not to wear one certain color. Of course that's what she wore. Went to a great wedding that had two rooms...one for dancing and one for visiting and board games! Went to a wedding at a venue that required you to bring in staff. The bartender didn't know how to mix a drink and the waitstaff didn't know how to plate meals. They didn't think to ask such specific things they assumed were the norm. -
It could have been tongue in cheek because so many people joke about it. I am irritated that I now I'll wonder about people cringing about the way I choose to write emails!!

Such a weird problem/I’m FB viral again
happi duck replied to Mrs Tiggywinkle Again's topic in The Chat Board
Random rant: why do people stalk writers of Facebook posts instead of taking *inspiration* to bless someone else? (Op, I think these gifts are all yours to keep btw!) That said, I'm glad your friend will be blessed through this! -

In a nutshell: National Novel Writing Month which is an online challenge to write a new 50,000 word novel during November. (There is also young writers which allows kids to have a lower goal.)

Happy Anniversary written in melted chocolate on the platter and a selection of fruit especially berries. A lightly sweetened Greek yogurt based dip could go with it too. -
If you sell on fb marketplace, please weigh in
happi duck replied to Grace Hopper's topic in The Chat Board
Good point about people possibly thinking you'll haggle because of a deadline. Maybe it can't be in the listing easily. Perhaps just always tell a little white lie that someone is coming for the item? "Is ABC available?" "Someone is coming to look at it but I'll call you if it falls through. When would you pickup if it's available?" -

In the future could you put your deadline in the ad? -
I agree with your dd. Drying your hair in a tshirt is called plopping (iirc). I use a long sleeved t-shirt and find it helpful.

The four of us spent six months in my childhood bedroom when we moved back from out of state. This was also to save up because rent was so high. My dad remarried after my mom died and his wifr didn't like me so we had to stay out of her way. Even with that issue we had a nice time with my dad and saved a ton. If dh had also a shorter commute we would've saved even more. The cost of a cheap camper and repairs would eat up a big chunk of what they'd save....maybe a shorter stay inside the house would yield the same savings as longer in the camper?
