I'm in the part with Starbucks. Just north of Anchorage. I've heard the whole state is snake and scorpion free though. Better yet- NO TICKS! We have plenty of spiders and mosquitoes though.

Either I had too much wine or I like to torture myself. It's just a sprint triathlon though-no Ironman or anything. My 9 mile bike turned into a 5 mile bike and 4 miles of walking the bike down the road. Got a flat tire half way. Race is Saturday. Just hope to complete it. #legsandattitudetookabeating #flattiressuck

Thank you. I'm glad you posted this before! I ran off to check it out and never came back. We bought it and are really enjoying it. We are doing attempting 2 books per month, due to our short summers. We read it then go on a hunt to find it. I read ahead to see what plants were covered and hit the local greenhouse for those that don't grow wild here. We also read the herbalzine that week. The 2nd week we make the recipe (s) and define words in the word search. Rinse and repeat. We are only on book 2, so we will see how the rest goes.

Are we taking a vote? I vote for the move to Alaska. I'm selfish like that. Don't burn down the house. #stayoutofjail #snakeandscorpionfree #Alaska

There's a game I'd rather not play!

Yum! I'm going to gain a lot of weight at the ITT retreat.

Yes :leaving:

Oops! Disregard. I thought you said planning and twerking problem. My mistake. #notaspeedreaderanymore

:lol:

No, it will get you 10,000 points. I only wish I could do that.

Ok, I rarely post, except here. BUT I couldn't take the bashing going on in the "Are your kids addicted to Minecraft?' post (k-8 board). Are the others (non-ITT posters) usually so quick to jump down each others throats? I'm a little scared after reading it.

Ok, so I'm not getting why this post is seen as judgmental... I went through each sentence because it was driving me crazy and maybe I'm missing something. People were already jumping on it after this first post. Yeah, I don't get it. What did BW do to make others defensive? We play Minecraft here. Curious, because apparently you need to be cautious and censor yourself on this board. Even when there is nothing in your post, you must interpret it in multiple ways so you don't get jumped.

And maybe have a hula instructor teach us a thing or two :)

:grouphug: :grouphug: I watched my grandmother pass. I was there to hold her hand as she left. She too was talking, like she was wrapping things up here. She then started saying she was too full and couldn't eat any more. I started wondering if she was having a Last Supper. It is an amazing thing to be able to spend time with a loved one who is passing on and to know they are at peace.

Hurts my head just thinking about all of those! My MIL gave both of my kids bunnies that sing "Jesus Loves Me" for Easter. Is it wrong to want to torture them? Remove their stuffing bit by bit, then an arm...maybe a noose out of the second story window.. There's only so much one mind can take. Once you know Jesus loves you, you don't need to hear it 50 billion times a day.

Awesome! My daughter will love them.

I received a hammock 3 years ago and it's still in the bag. Now I must go buy something to hang it on. Today. I'm inspired.

Sorry. That stinks. Really, really stinks. People don't realize what they have until it's gone (that would be your trust). ETA: just caught up on the rest and saw you were taking it to PM. So I'll put these here :scared: :cursing: :grouphug: . I'm really sorry that you are going through that. It all would suck, but having people dismiss and belittle what I was thinking and how I felt...well, I don't know what I'd do. It wouldn't be pretty, but probably memorable.

:grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: I'm sorry.

I sent all the annoying electronic toys to my niece. My brother should have been nicer when we were growing up :smilielol5:

We had babies :scared:
