I wasn’t quite at the Panic Point when I went to bed last night, but the thought did cross my mind as to... if the site just disappears, so do all my friends. And then what?? I felt like all my friends died at the same time. It was awful. We need to think like preppers. Where are we going to meet if a zombie apocalypse takes out the forum? Maybe we should all give our contact info to someone. I nominate Jean. I would share mine. You know, I was thinking this, too. What should we do?? Is there one of us or two who has our contact information who can gather us all together is something happens? I stopped multi-quoting, because we're all on the same page. Anyone who wants to exchange info, PM me. I think a "Woman in Charge" is a great idea. Frankly, I totally lack the organizational skills.

JoJosMom Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) I should add: I DON'T think that we should preemptively bombard my nominees with PMs. We should just wait and see if someone says (on the thread), "Gosh, that seems right up my alley." And not necessarily just the people I mentioned. Which I probably shouldn't have. Pondering deleting... ETA: I modified an above post. I apologize for making any specific suggestions and making anyone uncomfortable. Edited January 24, 2018 by JoJosMom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Tuesday was day 9 of meeting my higher step goal. And day 5 of drinking bone broth. Don’t worry. I won’t report these numbers forever. But I want to keep track for a month so I can see what results, if any, I get from this.

KrissiK Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I think there should be two of us... just as a back up. I will volunteer myself. You can PM me with whatever information you want to give me and then I will give my information to the other person, so everyone is covered. I will then take that information and put it in the huge, strong safe in my closet and guard it with my life. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 There were ITT withdrawals. We were at the ER at 3:30 this morning. Gymnast woke up not being able to breathe well and a barking cough. She was diagnosed with croup, although the doctor kept saying she was too old for that, and given the steroid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Half of the school day is done. I have to proof a couple of chapters, write another 1000 words on my story and tackle a short story that has a little more inspiration behind it than it did. I'm seeing the location and the characters now, so I'd best write while the images are clear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stopped by to look up Krissi's ranch dressing recipe and got distracted by an apocalypse! Renai, on 02 Apr 2016 - 3:50 PM, said: Recipe for ITT cookbook! Oh yeah, it's a good one! I actually got it from a magazine... The article was called "The Dressing Algorithm". They give you two recipe bases... One for viniagrette and the other for creamy. And then half a dozen add-ins for each to make whatever kind of dressing you want. I'm hooked on the ranch. 3/4 C mayo 1/2 c buttermilk 1/ 2 tsp. salt, Black pepper 1T white vinegar 1 tsp each...garlic powder, onion powder 1 tsp dried or 1 tbs. fresh of dill and chives. Very good and quick to make 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 (((Gymnast))) (((Renai))) Did you have to teach this morning? Yes. I actually had to cancel my 5am and 5:30am classes because I was still going to be at the hospital at 5, and wasn't sure about 5:30. We wound up taking an old guy home from the ER, and still got home in time to have taught the 5:30 (it was 5:25), but was glad I cancelled. I taught my last two classes though - 6 and 6:30, went back to bed, and woke around 9. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 So, I have Gymnast as part of another free online coop (Empowered) and she is part of this storytelling class where the leader and her kids read books and allow the other children to share books as well. This was their second class, but Gymnast's first since we were doing Dancer's stuff last week. Anyway, the beginning of the class the teacher asked what were the students' favorite books and Gymnast mentioned she can't read. (She can read, just not fluently.) By the end of class, she was volunteering to read a book next week! :ohmy: :svengo: I'm thinking a Fox In Socks or Hop on Pop book, or something like that.

Critterfixer Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 The cold that just ripped through my house came with fevers of 100 to 102. But the aches and coughing were less than what I would expect with the flu. Tylenol did a good job of keeping the fever down around the 99 to 100 mark. Boys were eating throughout the sickness and only complaining of a sore throat. Duration was about three days, with the third day being no fever, but just tired and a little off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much? How often? I'm voting some cold virus that's not flu. I think he caught it from playing with Critter's turtles, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
