We have one. It was a gift. We buy meat in bulk when it is on sale. It helps save us money. We also use it for things like clay for school projects. It helps keep it moist in between uses. Dh uses it for fish food too. Enjoy your new toy!

((Jodi)) I am happy to hear you and dh talked. Just trust in God. Pray. Read your bible. If you are faithful to Him, He will bless you. Know that God has given you what is best for you. Rejoice in this! His plan will be revealed to you. "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." 1 Corinthians 13:4. We all make mistakes, even our dh. Give him the God's grace.

In the task bar, do you have a heading call Go (with File, Edit etc.)? Under there is a command call folder list which lists all your current folders. Maybe this will help?

That is a good idea Jean. If people already know his harsh ways, telling them about it escalating is probably a good idea. This sounds like a man who was not given much love as a child. The closer he gets to someone, the more anger he shows trying to sabotage the relationship before he gets too close. Its sad :crying:. It makes me want to hug my family.

What do you mean by bulk folder? Do you mean your inbox?

I never tried it but I would worry about stuff falling into the trays. Can you cover it somehow? I would think as long as everything is clean you would be OK. I put it in small rubbermaid containers. I have also heard of freezing it right in the Playtex bags but I never had success with this.

Wow, I am jealous!! It looks great! I used to have a bench/ table like that when we lived in NJ. I was great for storage.

((Jean)) God bless you for taking on such a ministry. It takes truly special people to do God's work in these places. I would not say anything in a group setting just to individuals as needed. I probably would only say something about his behavior if it is relevant to the situation, like another person will have one on one contact such as a visit with him like you did.

I really am trying. We have tried everything except acupuncture and castor oil :eek:. I tried castor oil with second ds it was not pleasant and did not bring on labor. I am trying at this point, to just be patient. :willy_nilly:

I was due 8/10. I am 5 days overdue. :glare: Pray for this weekend!!

I appreciate all the positive rep. Wow 2 green squares!!! Thanks!!:hurray: Now if this baby would only make his entry ......

I am glad to hear you are getting some answers. I hope you get the situation with the peds office straightened out too. :grouphug:

I was wondering about you. It is good to see you back. :001_smile:

:hurray: Good for them!! You must be so excited!!!

We are dealing with the same issue here too. So far here is what is working for us: A consistent bedtime/get up time. Dss go to bed around 9pm and are expected to get up around 7am. This works for us, you could insert your own time table. Adding a daily exercise routine. Not just more play but a daily routine like running at least 1 to 2 miles a day. The kids also go outside after dinner and play until bedtime. TV before bed stimulates both of my boys and makes it hard for them to sleep so unless it is a special occasion, like the Olympics, no TV before bedtime. Good luck! Keep us posted as to what works for you.

I have frozen casseroles both ways and they come out about the same. Just remember to label it with instructions so you don't cook it twice!

Has he tried daily use of Gold Bond powder? Once he has the infection gone, (or minimal). He can just apply powder daily. It does wonders for keeping your feet dry and clean.

Has anyone heard from Jodi since yesterday? We are concerned about you Jodi! Please keep us posted.

Oh dear, I feel for you Tracey! Here is what I would do: Monitor the pumpkins until I see the bugs eating them. Then I would harvest them but leave a large portion of the stem on maybe, 6 inches or more. And put them somewhere to finish ripening. Sorry I could not be of more help. Good luck!!

HHMMM....off the top of my head, Gumdrop molecules candy DNA molecules rock candy pretzels or bread using yeast You can find lesson plans for most of these on the internet. Another good place to look would be the Magic School Bus website (Scholastic). They have great lesson plans and many edible science themes.

I remember doing that in high school. It was a fashion thing. Remember jelly bracelets?

:grouphug::grouphug: Jodi, I will offer the wise advice someone gave me when I was going through something similar. Just remember God put this man into your life to protect you and your dc. This man is your circle of protection in this imperfect world. DH's decision may not be the best right now for you but he does love you and God will bless that love if you trust in him. Keep praying that you will see God's will here and feel his peace. I will pray for you as well.

Sounds like the makings of beef stock! Do the bones have meat on them? If not, I would add veggies like celery, carrots, spinach, whatever you have on hand. This will add to the flavor. Put all in a pot and then add water just until covered. Simmer for about 3 hours. I would then either freeze the stock for later, make soup, or use in rice instead of water. You could also freeze the bones and make stock when the weather is colder.

We listen to books on tape (or CD). We get them from the library so they are free. Libravox also has free books on tape that you can down load online. I consider them family read-alouds. It keeps the kids quite and learning!

Isa! You are an amazing woman! God bless you! Congratulations on the new baby and welcome to the world Miguel!
