  1. This reminds me of when some church ladies wanted to fix us dinner when dd14 was born. We told them we were vegetarian and got chicken and biscuits, because chicken is vegetarian, right? 😂
  2. When he's talking off the cuff, that's what it sounds like. I'm guessing he will come up with more of a plan soon? I am not crazy about the idea, so I'm not going to be the one to bring it up.
  3. Brockport is supposed to be right on the line, but this area of NY is on average even cloudier than Seattle. Dh has plans to go up to the Adirondacks in the event of cloudy predictions. I am praying for clear skies.
  4. Yes! Corner Gas is great! I forget how I was introduced to it, since we're not in Canada, but we were able to check out the DVDs from the library.
  5. It was a beautiful sunny day out, nearly 70. Took a nice 20 minute walk.
  6. I am a Carol Burnett fan, as well. My kids love Tim Conway, especially ds10, who enjoys physical comedy.
  7. TKD class this evening. I should be doing more. Some days I do not have an excuse. Lately, it seems there is more stuff going on out of the ordinary. Tomorrow, for instance, I have to go to a check up and take dd to her guitar lesson, which just kind of messes up exercise. I suppose I could try walking in the city tomorrow, but it's going to be cold and snowy. Bleah.
  8. Today was almost warm. All of us went on a 30 minute hike.
  9. I went to TKD last night. A good class overall. I am better at the combinations of kicking and punching than I was when I started. I also do not feel as lost as a few months ago. My attendance has been spotty, as I haven't been feeling well in one way or another. I have managed to do some pattern practice at home, and feel like I almost know my new pattern.
  10. Not Google, but I turn 50 this year and got some junk mail from AARP. Several days later, my specialty pharmacy sent me some over the counter medicine for side effects from a company named Gericare. Apparently, the universe has a message for me.
  11. My mil is a worry wart. Dh is going to suggest that she stop watching the news as a way of combating her anxieties. For example, when traveling down to Texas, she was worried about the border because of what she sees on the news, despite the fact she was no where near the border. Personally, I don't really keep up with the news much, as it increases my anxiety levels. But I imagine watching the news is a habit for her, which she needs to replace with something else. She is not much of a reader, and we thought maybe a podcast would be a good substitute. Something inspiring. I previewed the Chicken Soup podcast because the books would certainly be her cup of tea, but I was turned off by the ads for Tampax and Lume. Does anyone have suggestions for feel-good podcasts?
  12. Early 90s. I bought a skin tight black mini dress from Ames for $15. Paired with black and white striped tights, a la Beetlejuice. Black high top converse that went halfway up my calf. Long white satiny gloves. Rhinestone bracelet. Beehive hairdo done my bfs mom who did that to her hair in the 60s. I went stag and had a great time.
  13. Stupid easy and delicious use of bratwurst. https://www.idratherbeachef.com/bratwurst-and-buttered-cabbage-recipe/
  14. Free checks!?!?! The very large bank I'm with has farmed this out for years. Over the years, they keep charging more for fewer checks. I should stop using them, but have a ridiculous attachment to my account #, which I have had memorized since high school. Of course, it was a different bank back then. But with all the fees, my attachment is starting to wane.
  15. Did some pattern practice yesterday, and went to class today. It will be interesting to see how I feel tomorrow.
  16. Yesterday, I went for a walk while it was still nice. TKD is this evening. I'm not sure if I will go or not; my hip is not happy, and I don't know why.
  17. She tends towards fantasy sorts of stories, and has gotten into the idea of world-building. She took a few classes over at Bravewriter last year.
  18. I had a bit of a cold last week, and did a little pattern practice, but that's it. I'm not entirely better, but went out for a walk this afternoon because it was nearly 70 and sunny.
  19. Dd14 wants to get involved in a writing forum where users submit pieces for critique and review others' works. Any suggestions for sites that would provide a good experience for her? TIA! (Cross posted on the high school board, as well.)

  21. I love how the dresses are long and swingy. Dd plays classical guitar with a foot stool, so short dresses would be highly immodest.
  22. Dd14 will be performing at a special concert in a week and a half. She is in need of a black dress/skirt/pants to wear for the occasion. She is 5'9" and kind of lanky. We are looking to order something this is made with quality materials and not with slave labor. Any ideas on where we can go to find such a garment? TIA!
  23. I've never used Core Knowledge, but I have used these studies: https://artistsandtheirart.neocities.org/ I was able to find most of the art online, so I copy and pasted the image onto a regular doc, and then had them printed out in color. I laminated them and used them during morning time, one painting per month. And when we were done, I hung them up in the bathroom. So using our facilities is an edifying experience. 😄
  24. We went to our co-op this afternoon, which is 30 min. away. At that point, it was 56. By the time we left, about 2.5 hours later, it was 48. By the time we got home, it was 33.
  25. Hugs and extra prayers.
