Who's going to tackle Saturday with me?
Georgiana Daniels replied to Jean in Newcastle's topic in The Chat Board
Hope you feel better soon! I want to do all the things because I'm so far behind also. BUT, our daughter has her first gymnastics meet of the season, so we'll be traveling to Phoenix (through the snow GACK!) for that. Trying to remember to slow down and enjoy life instead of targeting the next thing on my to-do list. Not as easy as one would think.... -
The Instant Pot Duo (7-in-1) is on sale again
Georgiana Daniels replied to ILiveInFlipFlops's topic in The Chat Board
Just got mine last week. LOL, I'm SO not a cook and I'm not familiar with kitchen gadgets so it was a little scary the first time. But MAN...my steamed veggies came out fast and perfect. -
Little things that lighten your heart
Georgiana Daniels replied to creekland's topic in The Chat Board
Every time I think about how I get to stay home with the kids, I'm so, so thankful. It could change going forward---I pray not---but for now I'm so grateful for the opportunity to be with them, educate them, and just hang out with the cool kids :coolgleamA:- 40 replies

Georgiana Daniels replied to rose's topic in The Chat Board
Crap, that's a LOT of socks. LOL!!! Must be a relief..... -
Who's going to tackle Wednesday with me?
Georgiana Daniels replied to Jean in Newcastle's topic in The Chat Board
Good morning! Still just wiping the crusties out of my eyes sooo....done? Literally nothing except getting coffee into mug without spilling. (I think.) To do: school finish freelance article on solar energy email judges for a contest (up to 70 or so separate emails. Yikes!) figure out how to use my Instant Pot cleaning...from the looks of our home there should be some cleaning involved -
WSS^^^ I've found that when I load a GC and make it my default, it comes right out of there. In any case, yay for a Kindle GC. I would choose a GC for books over almost anything.....

LOL, glad I'm not the only one who didn't understand it! I'm often the last to know....

Georgiana Daniels replied to ktgrok's topic in The Chat Board
Oh, crap. I hate cooking but now you all made me want one! $68 feels steep to me (for our budget) but man...... -
Prayers/ good vibes for my youngest dd
Georgiana Daniels replied to Anne in CA's topic in The Chat Board
That is sad :crying: Given the issues that the other girl is dealing with, is there any chance this is a phase that will pass? All the best to your daughter. Watching our kids hurt is so, so hard. -
If you use "cheaters" (reading glasses)...
Georgiana Daniels replied to Janie Grace's topic in The Chat Board
I agree with the PP's who suggested checking in with your doc. My need for readers happened so slowly that I didn't notice until I had a regular eye appt (I'm seriously nearsighted.) That said, I was 43 when it happened, and that's about average, I think. -

I don't know, but it sure sounds naughty! :lol: JK....I'm guessing it's boat, but I'm from landlocked AZ so it's a crapshoot.

Oh, wow.....you think you have answers but it leads to more questions. When one of our family members passed several years ago, I wondered if she was actually dead before they declared her dead, or if she was dead when her heart stopped beating. So hard to know, and heartbreaking either way.

How can I access the smileys from my iPad?
Georgiana Daniels replied to RegGuheert's topic in The Chat Board
I'm addicted to smileys too :D On a related note...I wonder why all the smileys sent to me by my friend with an iPad show up as an oddly shaped J ? -
I think it's great if one can stand up and say, "Hey, I'm a SAHM and proud of what I do"....depending on the context. In general, yes! But if you're caught off guard, and depending on the person you're talking to and whether or not it might damage the relationship, it might be better to think it over.

What happens if we don't buy health insurance?
Georgiana Daniels replied to Moxie's topic in The Chat Board
What Sparkly Unicorn said is right...there are enough loopholes and costs not counted towards OOP maximum that your REAL out of pocket max could be significantly higher. Just like so many costs don't actually count toward your deductible. Also keep in mind that serious illnesses last multiple years. Let's say you meet your deductible and oop max one year, you might still need continuing medical care and treatments again starting in January. -
What happens if we don't buy health insurance?
Georgiana Daniels replied to Moxie's topic in The Chat Board
Ours was too. But sadly our deductible went up and the coverage went down. It used to be that with or catastrophic plan we would be covered at 100% once our deductible was met, now only 80%. If you have a catastrophic medical condition like our son-on-law had, picking up that 20% equates to financial ruin. -
Oh, man! So sorry! That just sucks, and even though she's older and it's good to give grace, I hate hearing SAHM/homeschooling moms devalued. People have no clue how much you do and how much value you are providing to your kids. Keep on truckin', mama. You're so much more than what you're being credited. And kudos to you for simply not saying anything and reacting out of hurt.

What happens if we don't buy health insurance?
Georgiana Daniels replied to Moxie's topic in The Chat Board
They---whoever THEY may be---should be embarrassed to even print those high premium/high deductibles. Who the crap do they think can reasonably afford that? Anyhoo, it stinks that people are in this situation. But man, insurance is so necessary. Even though we will hopefully never meet our deductible, insurance at least negotiates down the cost of care so that the part we are left to pay is less than someone who has to pay OOP. We are now a reasonably healthy family, but a few weeks ago our middle daughter had to go to the ER to get something removed from her eye. Still waiting for---and dreading---the bill. -
Amazing/Fun/Unique Gifts for Adults???
Georgiana Daniels replied to Chocolate Rose's topic in The Chat Board
It probably depends on what this particular group is interested in. We love getting games for our friends, mostly silly/fun ones like a drinking Jenga game, or charades. Maybe a date-night gift, or novelty kitchen accessories. Maybe a gift basket with little condiments and sampler drinks with candles and fun soaps. I'm a big fan of gift baskets. -
How common is it to be frequently bored?
Georgiana Daniels replied to SparklyUnicorn's topic in The Chat Board
A new challenge might be a great way to get your whole self engaged! -
How common is it to be frequently bored?
Georgiana Daniels replied to SparklyUnicorn's topic in The Chat Board
Oh, man! I can't even fathom this. I'm interested in so stinking many things and sad that I don't have time for them all. Hoping I live long enough to enjoy everything :lol: -
Florence Henderson......NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Georgiana Daniels replied to DawnM's topic in The Chat Board
I was SO sad when I heard this. It's like she was America's mom.
