Just read the serving food to your husband thread and the 1950's wife statement intrigued me! I have to say that I think I am a bit of a 1950's wife - or at least I try to be!! I really do take pride in serving my husband in all the ways that I can - making things easy for him, cooking food that he likes, not stressing him out when he gets home from work etc etc. He helps me out with my stuff as well, and there is lots of give and take, but in our house he is the leader and he is treated and respected as such. Part of my satisfaction as a wife comes from looking after my husband well. -
I'm curious why people have negative feelings about tattoos. Please explain. :bigear::bigear::bigear:

When I was growing up, my family's tradition was that when we all came downstairs on Christmas morning, we could open our stockings right away. Then we had to eat breakfast before opening any of the wrapped presents. Isn't that a sadistic tradition? I guess it was because we had a large family, and unwrapping could take a long time. We haven't really come up with a good routine to replace it. Stockings are more of an afterthought, an anticlimax after the bigger and better presents have been opened. It kind of makes me wonder why we do them. When and how do your kids get their stockings

Ok...I think we survived. The jury is still out on a couple of the family members, but others of us are moving in the right direction. I am absolutely exhausted. We have never been sicker in our lives. Between the five of us we have propably lost 20 pounds. So now I am completely paranoid in my home. How will I ever get my house disinfected? It is a disaster and I don't know where to start. I've got laundry going. Do I need to throw away things like stuffed animals and throw pillows? I am considering throwing away all pillows or is it enough just to wash pillow cases? Walk me -
Alleluia!!!!!!!!! Alleluia!!!!!!!! Happy Easter everyone!!!! :001_smile:

But yesterday I went driving with a bb gun. A neighbor a couple of miles down has two big dogs that have started attacking my ponies when I drive by. Friday they were trying to bite his face and legs. I had to get off and try to beat them away while holding a frightened pony. Big GSH pointer and a boxer type. When they charged me yesterday I stopped Patches and took aim and let loose. The older dog turned and ran when he saw the gun, he's obviously been shot before, the younger one stopped and tried to figure things out. I didn't want to hit either one, just shot a warning and it wo

I could not *bleeping* BELIEVE it when I saw it. In the winter, there is not much room to put the snow. HOWEVER, this jerk blows 80% of the snow from his driveway against the side of our house and onto our lawn. He has no snow piled against his house at all and you can see how much higher the snow is on our lawn than his. I say nothing b/c I don't want to be a jerk like him. Well, we got about a foot of snow a week ago and since it hasn't been above freezing, it's still around. He uses a snow blower, which leaves a layer of snow on his driveway, which he then drove over for a week -
Our Pack Leader just got a new job out of state so we're scrambling to plan for our meeting this month. Does anyone know of any fun games having to do with emergency preparedness??

A clean cut French kid actually, who tried to convince me that he gets credit with his college in Paris for each person who sees his 2 min. demo. :lol: As if any university in Paris cares about this kid's Summer sales numbers! He was apologetic about his perfect English and everything. Great little sales angle, but I saw right through it, thanks to advance notice from the hive.:cheers2: How sad though to spend your Summer in another country getting the door slammed in your face. Too bad he doesn't get the chance to really experience the great things about the US. Bummer. -
Would you copy educational materials which you bought for another of your own kids if there is a "no copying" policy printed in the book? Edited to add: Errr... Copyright. Don't you hate it when you misspell words in the title of a post?

A Hooter Hider is a snazzy looking nursing cover. Here's a link to where you can buy them http://shop.bebeaulait.com/ and here's a link to where you can sew one yourself inexpensively http://imustnotthinkbadthoughts.wordpress.com/2007/10/01/here-have-a-hooty/ So the question of the day is, if I sew myself a Hooter Hider, will I actually use it?? I had nothing like that with dd but wore nursing clothes, used a sling, etc. This time I'm not interested in buying nursing clothes, but I'm not exactly Victorian (show the skin and lay on a hankie) either. Ok, I don't care a fig about nursing i -
when I hit my head and caused my concussion two weeks ago, I also caused the "jelly" in my eye to collapse. This is causing me to see a constant blinking light, like a headlight, in the left corner of my vision field in my right eye. I notice it mostly in dimly lit rooms and at night. My question is this. Does anyone have experience with this? Does the jelly repair itself? I know this can cause my retina to detach and have been looking out for those symptoms. I've been surfing the web but can't determine if this is something that will heal. The eye dr will see me again in a month.

Dd13 has an assignment to write about a movie or book that had a weak plot. Even DH and I are stumped. We can't think of anything. Really. I told her we're probably looking for a storyline that has boring characters and/or a boring conflict and/or an ending that didn't satisfy the conflict. Do you know of any? My guess is that we haven't read or seen anything that might be suggested. :tongue_smilie:

DH is trying to teach DD7 now. He spent about an hour with her on Monday night and he's going to spend another hour tonight. He said that her balance is just so-so, but that it got a bit better as they went on. She's just not the most graceful child LOL. Any other late bike riders? Anything that really worked for your late rider? I looked on Amazon and I think I'm going to purchase one of those Strider balance bikes for DD4 to ride, and we'll be able to pass it down to our new baby one day as well. I think that if they could start out balancing, then learning to ride would be a breeze. -
So here is what I am wondering... many women believe in the health and emotional benefits of extended breast feeding for the child. I agree. BUT princess Natalie is adopted so obviously we have been bottle feeding her since birth with the best formula money can buy here. Yes I know there are drastic measures you can take to be able to breastfeed an adopted baby but those were not an option for me since I only had 12 hours notice before she was in my arms. So let's just let that one go, ok? Anyways... assuming this baby formula is better for her than regular cow's milk (right?) and assu -
I can't think of how to set a poll up for this, but I am curious to see answers. Does your DH play video games? If so, how much? And if you don't mind sharing, how old is he? My husband has zero interest in video games. Several times he has expressed surprise that anyone in his 30s or 40s would be playing video games. I am a little younger than DH (seven years younger) but also went to college before the age when kids brought video games to college. I don't remember ever seeing anyone play a video game when I was in college (1985 - 1989). So DH and I just grew up before that was

One of my dd's, age 15, has a bit of a porcupine like personality. She's moody like most teens and lately has the attitude that my parents don't know anything. Our conversation are verging on the type that if you were to overhear them you would think, that child treats her mom like a dog. Here's an example of this morning's conversation on the way to youth band practice: Me: How you feeling? Her:Fine, I've always been fine. Im not sicksaid in a nee, nee voice (she says as she sniffs and her left side of her face is swollen from sinuses). Me: I was just wondering, you sound like yo -

Glee is on netflix, would it be ok for a ten year old? We don't let her watch Adult Swim, Tosh.0 or shows that used to be cool for kids but suddenly the franchise has tons of sex (Stargate :glare:) Is it ok? I haven't seen it before and we would like something we can watch together. -
A friend is struggling with this right now, so I thought I would ask for input. She and dh are in their 50s. They have 4 kids, spaced about 12 years total. They promised all the kids that they would buy them a reasonable used car if they graduated high school with a 3pt GPA. This was told to the kids all the way through high school to keep them motivated to get good grades. First dd graduated, received car valued at about $3000. She got married, they paid about $5000 toward wedding. The wedding wasn't a promise, just something they did for a dd. Second and third -
Has anyone read his stuff? I am just learning about him. Seems like I guy I would agree with on a lot of things. Incidentally, seems very intelligent. What are your thoughts?

I do believe I've seen it all now. Individually packaged cups of grape juice and each one has a little wafer enclosed too. Perfect for camping and outdoor events! I guess I didn't realize it was so difficult to fill little cups and break up a matzoh. Okay, I'm done now. Please opine. -
http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/midwife-pleads-guilty-to-felonies-in-death-of-alexandria-newborn/2011/05/05/AFetRQ2F_story.html Having a stuck baby for 20 minutes and then, after birth, waiting 13 more before calling 911 perhaps hurt her case. -
This is going to sound odd. Ever since finding out we were expecting, a csection has been looming over my head. I had a csection w/my first, but all the rest have been VBAC. I honestly don't know *why* its been such a concern...well, I guess I do, since it will complicate the heck out of RSD, but... Here's the thing. Baby keeps flipping btwn head down and transverse. From the time of the u/s yesterday, and exam by the OB, he went from transverse to head down. Not engaged, just head down. The last 3 u/s I've had have shown the cord in front of his neck/chin. And it doesn
