Another Lynn Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 So, 12yo ds has been growing a lot this fall. His size 12 slim pants are definitely too short. I have size 14 regular hand me downs ready, but they are too big. I was guessing I should order some 14 slims. But I measured him to be sure.... by waist and weight he should be a size 16 slim. By height, he should be an 18 slim. :blink: If 14 regulars are too big (and I think I need to see him try them on to see how much too big....), how in the world would 16slim or 18 slim fit???? He's going to need to wear shorts or start drinking milkshakes everyday to put some weight on! :D 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 I have made two batches of empanada dough since the first batch didn't look nearly enough. It's resting for an hour and so am I. (Actually I have to make my bed and take a shower and. . . . ) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe 16 slims would work and if they slide down a little that will cover the 1 inch they are supposedly too short, lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 I’m back. Breakfast at my mom’s was good. She made this awesome quiche and fresh salsa. The we went to my uncle’s house. That would have been a whole lot more fun minus my family. Dealing with a 6 foot tall 14 year old boy with anxiety who was very uncomfortable is not my idea of a good time. My uncle had some gorgeous new paintings. His style is neo-impressionist. He uses bold brush strokes and colors. I wish I could afford to buy some. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 We are back from the university and have planted flower bulbs in the front yard. Dh is grumpy because I chastised him for putting an empty lightbulb box back in the cabinet, making me think we had that size lightbulb. He went out and bought a lightbulb and then went for a walk. What should we have for dinner? I'm thinking spaghetti. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 My beautiful absolutely died-and-went-heaven-they-are-so-yummy empanada. This was the dough I made - twice because I don't know how big hers were but there was no way that one recipe would make 36. Two recipes made 36. I cut them out with a drinking glass and then rolled each one a bit thinner before filling. https://www.kawalingpinoy.com/beef-empanada/ This is the filling I made. I made way too much. I still have over half of the filling left. https://www.glutenfreeandmore.com/recipes/Gluten-Free-Empanadas-de-Picadillo-4508-1.html This is the baking instructions I used because for some reason the dough recipe had no instructions on cooking them. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 I’m back from extended family Thanksgiving. It was short and sweet this year. Dd is the youngest one now and many of the other young adults have moved away for school and work so it wasn’t a lot of people. We ate. Made some small talk. Said goodbye. When the kids were little we played games and watched movies but without many people there wasn’t much interest.

Ellie Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Y'all, I have a sad story. I just learned that a very old friend of mine passed away last night. I do not know details. We met in 1976 or '77; I knew the first time we spoke that she was a soul sister. We attended the same church; I was interpreting the services in sign language, and she was very interested in learning to sign. I invited a friend to be a guest interpreter one day, a nice young man I had met in sign language class, and she was fascinated with him. It was love at first sight. She began attending the church where he interpreted and became involved with deaf ministry, and eventually they married. By that time Mr. Ellie and I were also attending that church, and we became close to each other as couples as well as workers at church. A few years later, Mr. Ellie and I moved to another part of the state, eight hours away. We stayed in touch, but, you know, eight hours is a long way. My friend and her dh had three children (she had one from a previous marriage) and seemed to be living happily ever after. And then her dh was charged with s*xually abusing a young man. o_0 While he was married to my friend. He admitted it and pled guilty, and went to jail for 18 months. My friend had to go back to work to support her family. When he came home, they had one more child (!). Things were never right again (duh). [insert very long story] After 19 years of marriage, they divorced. My friend went to community college and graduated, then earned a BA from the university, and finally became a certified teacher. Her father lived in town and was a great help to her, thank goodness, but she really did make a good life for herself and her children, who are all happily married with children of their own now. She was able to visit me here in Texas a few years ago. I encouraged her to do flash mob and the Thrill the World event. :-) After all our years apart, we were still soul sisters. RIP, Susan, my soul sister. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
