Another Lynn Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I really feel the need to take a field trip today, but it is raining. I want to go to the zoo. We have a really good zoo. And there's a baby rhino. And I think there's baby lions. And I love the capybara. And the peccaries. And then stop at In 'n Out Burger for lunch. This whole church thing is just exploding, and DH is a mess. He's always been the emotional one and I'm more objective and hard nosed. Pastor called him last night and Pastor's a wreck. I just need to get away from all this. School has been hard...and I just feel like I'm being a whiner. But, it's raining.... and no, there's no place we can go for a field trip that's inside. And I do really need to do school because we're behind....sigh! Momma's takin us to the zoo tomorrow...

Another Lynn Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Thank you ladies for your words. I have been in need of some emotional bolstering right now. I feel like I have had to be the strong one and I just can't do it anymore. I haven't checked my email, either. Well, you're going to have to give us all the juicy, gossipy details if you want emotional support from us. <insert toe-tapping emo>. Just kidding. Did I make you laugh?

AMJ Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Apparently our house has much better acoustics for recording someone than the small rental room at the dance place. The music teacher is a lot happier with his recording of DD15 today. He needs to buy a different mic for recording piano, though, so he will record DD12 at a later date. The recordings are a teaching tool so DD15 can hear herself, but I am interested in how it came out, too. He's going to clean it up (remove small background noises) and have it ready for the next music lesson. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Now I get to type up a bunch of BP notes for my doctor appointment tomorrow.

prairiewindmomma Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 This whole church thing is just exploding, and DH is a mess. He's always been the emotional one and I'm more objective and hard nosed. Pastor called him last night and Pastor's a wreck. Krissi-- This is not ok. A healthy relationship church breakup would end with the pastor saying, "We will miss you so much. I hope that you are able to find a wonderful church home that is able to meet all of your needs. Please know that you are always welcome to come back--whether to visit or to stay." And, then, if you still have friendships outside of just the church relationship---"Hey, are we still on for pizza after the baseball game next Friday?" You don't need to explain things to the pastor. You don't need to justify the change. You don't need to reassure the pastor. You don't need to fix things. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Yeah! Come pick me up! Rocco and Roderigo are warming up the helicopter now. Well, they were.

KrissiK Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) Well, you're going to have to give us all the juicy, gossipy details if you want emotional support from us. <insert toe-tapping emo>. Just kidding. Did I make you laugh? No? - pretend Slash posted this instead of me. Lol!😠I really couldn't explain it all if I tried. But basically, It's what happens when you have a smallish church, in a small town, with a core group of people who have been there forever (and some are promiment community members as well) and don't think they can do anything wrong and nobody else thinks they can do anything wrong, but they do and then the elders DARE to do church discipline and it gets really really ugly..and that all happened 7 years ago and it's still a swirling cesspool of mess. Which we (DH and I) didn't realize was still going on because we were too busy working in the church and in spite of being there 10 years are basically outsiders. And then all the sudden, an event happened at the end of last month and my eyes were opened (and dh's, too, he just has a harder time with all this) and I'm like, "this is crazy, we are out of here!" (Hopefully I gave enough of an explaination without being gossipy or inappropriate.) Edited February 16, 2017 by KrissiK 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 This also serves to point out what cup-size measuring can't tell you -- the best configuration (shape) of bra for you. That takes pure trial and error to find what shape fits you best and is most comfortable. If you try the method as originally described but see a lot of air included in the measurement you likely have wider spacing, and need to shop for bras built for wider spacing. Pull the girls together for your measurement (to get a more accurate indicator of cup size), but then shop for bras that let the girls separate and ride in their natural and comfortable positions. Finally measured today, all 3 ways and boy, what a difference a little modification makes! The old old way has me in a C, the old new way in an H(!!!!??!), and the new new (modified) way in a D, with a smaller band measurement than the old old way. Thank goodness I tried on a few before ordering an H! :D Here endeth the TMI. My apologies to the moderators. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I think I have come up with a couple of relatively inexpensive kitchen storage solutions that can help with a couple of things that have been difficult to deal with since we moved into this house - the most annoying of which is where to store my large baking sheets.

Jean in Newcastle Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I go to Nordstroms to be measured and fitted. They do an excellent job.

Critterfixer Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I'm back from watering. Sadly, the river was really too high for me to feel comfortable letting two inexperienced boys try to navigate it. So we went to the lake. Which is never as relaxing.

Susan in TN Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 So, what are you doing to store those baking sheets? I have a very narrow vertical cabinet for mine, and too many crammed in there. I'm going to hang a wire basket inside the door of one of my larger lower cabinets (a 15" wide x 5" deep x 7" high basket will fit), using wreath hangers to get the basket low enough and secure it on with some 3M thingies and possibly us a bungie cord to keep the pans more secure against the door. I wish I had a vertical cabinet! I have asked dh if he will cut out the back shelf in a cabinet to make it vertical, but he's not keen on doing that. My MIL has one and it's really nice! The other thing is a simple over-the-door hanging shelf/bin storage thing to put inside my basement pantry door. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prairiewindmomma Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) Ok, so if you were assigned to bring beans and cheese to a cub scout meal where they are serving fajitas....which cheese do you bring? This issue is fraught with peril for me as: 1. fajitas don't typically get served with cheese 2. half of my congregation likely eats cotija or queso fresco and the other half eats kraft shredded, iykwim Advice? I have black beans going in my instant pot, but I am totally paralyzed on the cheese issue. Edited February 16, 2017 by kbeal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
