      We have an egg allergy and are about to start an elimination diet of soy/corn/dairy/gluten. I have a feeling we'll come out as gfdf at the end of this.

      You have my sympathies.

      My son is dairy, egg, peanut and tree nut allergic. I feel your pain!I eat somewhat gluten free as it gives me mega headaches.

  14. Put down your phone when driving!!! Your infant is in car seat in back, you don't need to be texting!!!

      I guess that text of "LOL" is worth the risk for some people.

      I hated stuff like that! I got a similar warning, I was working rotating shifts at the time and was lucky to get it out at all. I'm glad to no longer have a HOA.

    3. Tsuga

      Tsuga

      That is why we will never live in an HOA. It's literally on our list of things "not to buy" with the agents. Blech.

      Sorry, to add, I just saw your point about loving your home. I hope this is a one-off for you and that you can enjoy your beautiful home.

  16. I ask doctors nurse about sons vaccines being up to date. They tell me they have no records. After 3 years they figure this out!!?

  17. My yarn has been out for delivery via UPS for 12 hours! I have a scarf I need to make for charity. Hurry up!!

      Its from Knit Picks, brava worsted. I'm knitting so fast I think I will get two donated.

  18. USPS is coming out with Charlie Brown Christmas stamps!! I'm so excited!

  19. I just found out old neighbor that threatened me and I called police on was arrested for drunk driving. Am I a bad person for being slightly happy?

    1. Tsuga

      Tsuga

      No, because he was caught before he actually caused permanent damage to somebody's life. I'm thrilled when someone gets caught with a DUI. Maybe it will turn their life around.

      agreed, glad he was caught. Link to old thread?

  20. Someone stole my towel at the pool. I hope they enjoy my five year old bleach stained towel.

    1. Arcadia

      Arcadia

      I'm so sorry. We have to have someone guarding towels and slippers because people sometimes don't check if it is theirs before taking/using when they get out of the pool.

      This was indoor pool and it was on locker room/shower bench with my shampoo. Its an old ratty bath towel, not even a nice pool towel.

      If someone is desperate enough to swipe your ratty towel, they must really need it. Consider it your good deed for the day.

  21. Knitting, sewing & scrapbooking! A very productive day!

  22. I'm having a mid life crisis. I don't like summer anymore.
