Slache Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I think a non fish Easter could like that recipe. Everyone dies in Grimm. Seriously though, awesome episode. I didn't see some things coming and I'm usually good at guessing *everything* on a Tv show, so I was very pleased. Very cheap recipe: Taco Soup 3 cans of various beans, drained 1 can of corn, drained 2 cans of stewed tomatoes 1 little thing of diced chilis cumin water heat it top it with chips and cheese Takes 10 minutes and little dishes. It's a good emergency meal. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To qualify for such a prestigious position, you must first: a) read every post of this entire monster b) have at least 3 booyas under your belt and c) cut Slache down to size (she needs that at least once an hour) But cut Slache down to size nicely. She recently had a lot of dental trauma at the hands of a dentist, followed by dental surgery. She's a little doped up on meds right now, and has an uncooperative phone.

JoJosMom Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Overlooking the many artifacts of your phone and/or drugs the above describes my shopping method pretty closely. I'm training the girls to do this, too, especially since they both can be hard to fit as well. DD13's love of the idea of shopping is developing into a realization that it's not just all find-the-pretty-try-it-on-love-it-buy-it-be-admired-by-everybody. Unless Nana.

Slache Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 c) cut Slache down to size (she needs that at least once an hour) I've been thinking about this and the thing is that most people who seem self indulgent are actually very insecure.

AMJ Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I'm back again momentarily. It is quite stormy here and we are having difficulties. Luckily it is a shorter school day today, as we are winding down our school year and have finished some subjects. DD10 was quite frustrated to find she completely forgot about some assigned reading. It was the first half of one section that we aren't discussing until Wednesday, however, so I told her to just get it all read by then. She is now reading on the couch and I have sent DD13 upstairs to put away her clean laundry for real. No, cramming it all in a laundry basket and putting it in the middle of her bedroom floor doesn't count as "putting it away". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Good morning, good morning... I'm grading papers. The papers were all in a big basket. Unsorted. Been meaning to get to that since Christmas... At least it isn't raining here anymore. I spent the weekend singing in the rain since the flashing around the chimney decided it would like to leak, ruin the ceiling and keep me busy tearing out ceiling, dealing with buckets, and so forth. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professormom Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I take my clothes off before I go to bed? We only have 2 kids and they sleep through anything. I find that being nawkid tends to make me more comfortable in my own skin. Matt loves it. Why don't you do it? You'll have more teA. Haha. I would love it and so would Dh. Unfortunately, I find myself running out of bed in the middle of the night for whatever current in-law emergency is going on. We had to install a doorbell in our room because our walls are so thick that we couldn't hear them call in the middle of the night if there was a fall or some other such action. (Thick walls do come in handy in other ways though :wink:) Yes, I suppose I could grab a robe, but whatever the nighttime emergency is, it usually involves me lifting someone off the floor. Flashing almost 90 year old folks ranks right up there with eating moldy cheese and enemas, lol. But, that is one of the things (the buff, not the cheese or enemas) that I am putting on my List. What is the List, you may ask? (Or maybe not, but I am a little jazzed up on cafe right now so I am going to tell you anyway.) The List consists of all of the things that I am looking forward to when we are empty nesters. Things that we used to do before we had kids or things that we never thought of and now want to do in our ahem, older age. I need this list because when my kids go forth from our home, I am going to be SAD. I mean, curl up in a ball on the floor and sob sad. (I rarely cry, like once every year or two, so that is a big ole sad.) I like my kids:-) but I know they need to go... So I decided a few years ago to start a list. When the time comes and they leave, I can look at the list and be remember that it is ok. It will give me purpose. So nakey sleeping is added to the list. I thank you, Slashaboo. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renai Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I woke up to vomit again I though you guys would don't it entertaining that I really had to struggle to remember if Matt was my husband or my mom. (Answer =husband) That is all. #lastdayofpainkillers #paitienthusband My doc prescribed me a strong med for my migraines that had me loopy like that. Funny thing is, she gave me the least dose. I still had to split the pill in half. Another affect of the med was I couldn't talk. I knew what I wanted to say, and it was even intelligent at times, but there seemed to be a disconnect between my brain and my mouth. I would start talking, then I couldn't finish. The words were there, but they wouldn't come out. It was weird. I decided to just deal with minor migraines, or take only half a pill to reduce the severe migraine to a minor and then deal with it.

Renai Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I used to like shopping, but I don't anymore. It's not as much fun when you don't have much extra in the way of spending money and you're old enough to realize what credit cards really are (evil). And I make my husband shop with DS for his clothes. So then I can't be blamed when he "has nothing good to wear." Thankfully, I haven't had a credit card in years. I used to like shopping when there were stores that had clothes that fit me. I used to love the local Korean shops because I knew I'd walk out with something that fit and looked good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I agree. I like waistbands that hit my actual waist, too, for the same reasons. Also, I have found that hip huggers kept pressing uncomfortably on certain nerves in the hips even before the baby seats formed there. WAIST bands prevent this when they rise high enough, and I don't feel like my pants are going to fall off if I bend or stoop. I also have LONG limbs and a short torso. The current cultural preference is for longer torsos, and, if one tucks one's shirt in, wearing "higher" waisted pants and skirts gives a decidedly '80's tone to the outfit. There are benefits to shirt-tucking (protection from waistband tags being one), but there are also inconveniences, too (increased "shirt creep" now that my bootie has spread). I'd like the Jessica Fletcher look to come back in style. I won't match it exactly, but I could be quite trendy if that were the current trend! Yeah, hipsters come halfway up my butt. I'd look like the stereotypical plumber bending underneath the sink. Only, I wouldn't be bent over, just trying to walk normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even skipped ahead in my catching-up, so eager was I to find out what sort of party I missed while sleeping. Soooo disappointed. I think it's already been explained about the spam being deleted. But, since I'd already opened the quote box in another tab, once I came back to the comment I decided to respond anyway. :D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
