Renai Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Something new from Dairy Queen? :D I wish. This actually involved snow. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renai Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Saturday morning was my usual early start & then I was running around here & there & then my parents came over to pick up their dog & we visited and I was SO SO tired so I just kept having coffee after coffee. When they left at 1230 I was still exhausted, but now headachy and actually shaky from the caffeine. I went to lie down with the ipad thinking I'd check in here... and fell asleep for 2 hours. OK then. So tired that I slept right through coffee jitters. Sunday dh dragged me out to a car dealership & I actually test drove a car. Our sales guy was nice. He used to be on the Canadian Olympic fencing team & still competes. His wife is a fencer too. Olympic fencers have day jobs it turns out... Didn't buy the car though; but might if he calls back with a bigger discount. Just can't decide if I should go new or try to find one a couple years old & save some $$$. Save money. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornblower Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 oh & Keith, who initially thought the raspberry flavoured meds were so yummy & was drinking them like a baby bottle? About 4 doses in he's decided they're yucky & now is a pita to medicate.A 6 week course of bid meds is not fun when your patient is not cooperating. We've been medicating reluctant rats for years & have all sorts of tricks up our sleeves but he's proving to be a challenge. His favourite food is lettuce. How am I supposed to hide bitter meds in lettuce???I'm going to try making a green smoothie and see if that will work but I have my doubts. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I could make it through a Dairy Queen Blizzard in way less than 7 mintues, if it came to that. Provolone cheese is yummy. Thought you all needed to be reminded. I cannot imagine having to medicate fussy rats. My kids are hard enough. :D 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junie Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 We are back from the pediatric dentist. Dd has 8 new cavities in the last six months. She had 7 cavities at her previous visit. Guess we are going to go do a silent reflux evaluation with ped gastro. Her little sister has similar issues and was on prevacid, so it's not entirely unexpected, but I am bummed for dd. :grouphug: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) Tex, Your dd and my dd could be best friends. That's exactly what my dd does. She puts her head down on the table and "cries", great big ol' fake sobs of "poor me, I have to exert brain activity to understand this and I don't want to, I just want to go out and play! It's not fair!", which get louder and louder as I continue to ignore her. Sigh!

Junie Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Ds15 loves baseball. His favorite position is catcher because he likes to be involved in every.single.play. Watching games in person is more fun when you don't have to take all of the little sisters (who hate baseball). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsuga Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 This is why I don't go. My child IS that child and it stresses me out. I DO try to keep her contained, but she gets excited and talks and roams. She's not being bad really;but it is annoying for everyone else, I'm sure. My kids don't get an inside voice until the age of seven. They literally can't do it. I have shushed, I have bribed, I have dragged out because "you need to respect others if you want to be here". 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Are Children allowed or do they get duct taped at the door? I would suggest that we designate some weeks to be child-free and others to be children welcome. Nannies/cabana boys would be on hand to care for/feed/rescue/entertain children. Oh, and we will have at least 2 full kitchens - one gluten/etc free and one regular. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
