dog training experts - a question
Anita in NC replied to cathmom's topic in General Education Discussion Board
IMO if your dog is sitting quietly then just ignore them and just let them be. Just let the dog sit quietly next to you. You don't need to praise the dog for behaving. However, if the dog does NOT behave then they have to get OFF the couch. Every time they do not behave tell them to get off. "Tsk, off!" They will learn. Mine are allowed on the couch. If they are sitting in my spot they know to move if they see me coming. They are not allowed up if I'm eating on the couch. Plus, if I tell them off, they get down. -
Email about Netflix/Walmart lawsuit?
Anita in NC replied to Samiam's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I got the email and honestly I don't care. I have bigger things to worry about. -
This is why I am not big fan about setting up activities anymore. People are just flakey, they drop out at the last minute, no phone call, no email, they just don't show up. I'm sick of it. Even casual events where people that I'm pretty friendly with, say they will show up and then don't. No call, no email. Nothing. The kids get all disappointed that they don't have any friends to play with and we end up sitting there by ourselves. Three of my friends said they were meeting me at skating the other week and no one showed up. :glare:

Where do you make friends?
Anita in NC replied to mamakimberly's topic in General Education Discussion Board
We've been doing more and more with a couple of meetup groups that we belong to. It takes a little while to get to know people in the group and make connections but you have to start somewhere. -
Would these things surprise you?
Anita in NC replied to Trilliums's topic in General Education Discussion Board
My son recently took a driver's ed class. There were about 40 students in the class. Some of the students were homeschooled and some were tracked out from the local private school. DS said that the kids from the private school constantly spoke with each other while the teacher was lecturing. That the kids had their cell phones out texting and stuff. He said they were very disrespectful and the teacher even threaten to throw them out of the class. DS said the homeschooled students were quiet and respectful. -
Compound W. I've used it before and it works great and it is cheap.

I asked the doctor that question this morning and she told me Benadryl. I think that is the main ingredient of the Unisom Quickmelts so maybe it wouldn't help you.

Best cheap eyeglasses online?
Anita in NC replied to Jann in TX's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Another vote for Zenni. We got the generic version of the transition lenses for $20 extra and they work just fine. Love Zenni. -

kids spaced 3.5 years apart...
Anita in NC replied to Ann.without.an.e's topic in General Education Discussion Board
My boys are 15, 11 1/2 and 8. They are all good friends, play with each other and share a bedroom. -
Netflix streaming recommendation?
Anita in NC replied to Janie Grace's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I'm working my way through "The Last Enemy" by masterpiece theater. It is a series. -
Gross or no big deal?
Anita in NC replied to Wabi Sabi's topic in General Education Discussion Board
No big deal. Everything gets cleaned in the dish washer. -
I opened a new bank account and entered my new account number to pay my credit card. Apparently, unbeknown to me, I missed a few numbers that are added onto the end of your account number and the payment wouldn't go through. There is a $25 fee for that. As soon as I found out the payment didn't go through I paid from another account and well before the due date. I have since figured out what additional numbers I need but wasn't given that information by my new credit union when I opened the account. I complained to the credit card people and they said they will remove the charge but still. :glare:

Not having turkey for Thanksgiving....anyone else
Anita in NC replied to lynn's topic in General Education Discussion Board
We are having tofurky. My kids love it and wait all year for Thanksgiving and Christmas so they can have tofurky with mushroom gravy and homemade cranberry sauce. -
I have a Standard Poodle. They are really smart, love kids, and don't shed but do require regular hair cuts.

My mom just doesn't get money!
Anita in NC replied to Night Elf's topic in General Education Discussion Board
She is a grown up - so really there isn't anything you can do. I have a MIL that calls and asks for money because she can't afford her expensive cell phone plan or cable tv. Duh! :glare: -
Usually when someone moans about things being easy or repetitive I just tell them that cooking and doing dishes is pretty easy and repetitive and that I'm going to stop doing it. Usually straightens them right out. Boys do not like the thought of missing meals. :D

Staples in your vegan pantry.
Anita in NC replied to Rosie_0801's topic in General Education Discussion Board
We are vegetarians. Lentils Rice Canned beans Canned tomatoes Noodles (various kinds) Tofu Veggie burgers Sugar Flour Canola oil Olive oil Lots of spices -
My two sons and I are vegetarians, we just can't seem to make that final leap to become vegans. We don't eat many eggs but do eat cheese. We'd really miss cheese.
