Jean in Newcastle Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I have a really sarcastic snarky streak. In fact, I'd say that it's more than a streak.

lots of little ducklings Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 By the way.... My Ds9 LOVES his subscription to Highlight's Top Secret Adventures. Best gift ever. He's solving cases through fun puzzles and learning geography at the same time. Each mailing comes with "tour guide" (a 30-page illustrated book) on that particular country, which he must read to solve the case. Well worth the $, IMO, just because of the tour guide. He carries it around everywhere and works on it whenever he has a spare minute. We are 10 countries in and still going strong. In case anyone needs a gift idea for anyone. :coolgleamA: 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Sunday is game night after dinner, and so at bedtime I offered to read DS one of his old cuddly board books (instead of an Alice chapter,which is longish). Cowboy Bunnies. He asked me to change it so it would be violent. I did. :leaving: They robbed a stagecoach, among other things. He was :lol:. Such bad bunnies!

Jean in Newcastle Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 In tenth grade, I had in school suspension for the first (and only) time, because I said the geometry sub was a biddy. I didn't even say it meanly or to her face! She sent me to the office and said I called her a "b----." I was very honest with the principal and told him I actually said biddy. I got three days for that one. Are you going to suspend me for three days? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 We had hamburgers and french fries. I now need to clean up after my planning session, administer medications to the animals on medications, and then I'm seriously considering taking a shower, putting on my toga and hanging out in the bed and writing for the rest of the day. Such as is left. Our pork with blackberry glaze was a little overcooked and tough, and the blackberry glaze didn't strike my fancy. I guess I like my berries cold. Next time I fruit up some pork I'll probably go back to the apricot jam glaze. The cooked collard greens were also a little underdone, yet they went over well. Likely I can credit the addition of bacon for that, but it's still welcome. I forgot about DD12's braces and made corn on the cob. I cut hers off the cob for her. Partial win on supper tonight, despite flub-ups. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I've been productive y'all! I painted over the hideous red paint in the bathroom! It's been on my to do list since we moved in. The previous owners were terrible painters and not only were they so lazy they only put 1 coat on- and you can tell because it was blotchy- but there's red paint drips all over the baseboards and ceiling. It looks so fresh and bright now. It was so dark that I'll have to wait and see if maybe a 3rd coat is necessary and then go and hit the baseboards. DH is making dinner-I bet he won't make any side dishes. Is that a guy thing? My dad always made sides but DH only thinks about the meat. Tomorrow I think I'll make roast so I can have those carrots you all are talking about. Hooray! I like lighter colors in confined spaces like bathrooms. Good for you! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paige Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) DS just learned the hard way that once again he should listen to his mom. He has a thermos he uses to take coffee to school that he doesn't clean properly. It was getting disgusting! I've told him that we clean things to make them last longer because dirt and grime are not just unsanitary, they can be destructive. Poor DS was getting ready for school tomorrow and discovered that the lid to his thermos is broken. The springs had rusted or otherwise become brittle from coffee ick sitting on it too long and there's no fixing it. You can tell by the texture and color that something had changed compared the the springs in everyone else's lids. DS is sad. I'm a little sympathetic to his pain, but when's he going to learn? I'm not sorry it broke. Told you so! I didn't tell him that, so I have to say it here. He's going to have to save up to buy himself a new one if he wants another so it's a double blow. ETA: He would just rinse it out w/water most of the time It's not like it sat with festering coffee forever. He's not that bad.

ikslo Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 So I mopped the kitchen. Then I mopped the powder room since it is connected. Then I thoughts to meself, well, you'd best be getting the upstairs bathroom while you're at it, lassie! Then I saw the tub needed to be scrubbed, and the shower curtain washed. This is why I don't mop, people! It only leads to more work. I much prefer when I can tell myself I can't vacuum because of DS's Legos and go about my day blissfully ignorant of the accumulating filth. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luuknam Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) I argh'ed your first day here. Do you remember? :laugh: Nope! My memory is shot. I have no idea. I gave up on commercial oil and just do it myself. I think I found the bottle I have (which I can't find) at a natural grocery store. I have a membership to the local coop. Now see, you should have complained here, on ITT. We would have told you. This is where all the secrets lie. I thought I did complain here. No, she'll bang her cane on the floor yelling, "Edi-i-i-ith! Yve-e-e-e-ette! Will no one come help an old woma-a-a-an?" while waving her ear trumpet about. (Can anyone get the reference?) I want to say 'Allo 'Allo? It's been like half a life time since I've watched that though, but I recently added it to my Netflix cue. Oh, and I did complain about my ear here: Yeah, but I should go back to packing. I only took a break because my ear was really really hurting, and internet does a good job of distracting from that (and from anything else, for that matter). We're going to get the keys to our next place on Monday, and we need to be moved out by midnight May 31st (and our landlord JD really should know better than to say "midnight on May 31st", because which midnight would that be? - we're going with "before June"). ETA: Boeja. Which, btw, reminds me of bruja, which is something else altogether. Edited May 22, 2017 by luuknam 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
