Ellie Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 One week from today, Mr. Ellie and I will be on a plane headed to Seattle to visit older dd. Then on Saturday we'll be on a plane to Sacramento (and rent a car and drive four hours south) headed to younger dd. :-) We're going to Magic Mountain on Monday, July 2. Anyone want to meet up? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prairiewindmomma Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 I've been feeding the laundry monster all morning but Mt. Washmore does not seem to be shrinking as the kids keep bringing me piles of dirty clothes from their room. We're still digging out from last week. Do you remember when I planted seeds back in May? None of my lavender seeds grew. I have a bunch of tiny seedlings in my daisy pot, but I'm not sure if they are going to grow into daisy plants or if they are volunteer weeds. I ended up buying some herbs on Saturday, including three lavenders: a french, an english, and a Spanish......Does anyone have any good name suggestions? I'm leaning towards Marie, Mary, and Maria, but only because it's one of the few names with different spellings in each language that I know of. I need a good greek male name too---picked up some good varieties of oregano. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Break time! So far I have: Slept in Bibled Morning timed Worked out Sifted through John's old clothing to find Alex a new wardrobe I'd still like to: Swim the kids Clean out the art cabinet Clean out the bookshelf (just because a book is free does not mean you need to order it!) Organize the closet I think that's too ambitious. We'll see. I'm tired. I started a fiction book last night and I'm moving CM Companion to my nightstand. I haven't gotten much done but I'm taking care of me and I've come last a lot lately. Eta: That sounded bad. I have only had the energy to meet basic needs, meaning the kids come first and then I go to bed. Matt has been great. Mostly. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 I have only one lavender, "Miss Lavender" (Anne of Avonlea), and I think I have been watering her too much.

Susan in TN Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 I dropped the girls off at fiddle camp and shopped at Aldi, brought groceries home and went to pick up the girls. Got to hear the last bit of their "end of day" jam session. They had a blast. They even have kids on banjo and bass! So much fun! Came home, did more kitchen work, got dinner started, put away more stuff, cleaned the stove. I need to get the root beer spices simmering and blue cheese dressing made. The girls had rice pudding and dried mangos for lunch. Dinner is chicken & mushroom Tikka Masala with rice and green beans. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 7 minutes ago, Slache said: And all Kanji is native? Yes. In the sense that while it was borrowed from China many years ago, it is used for Japanese words. Having said that, it is possible to write foreign words like "America" in Kanji by using a sound correlation but it is not a normal thing to do and I think that most Japanese would be very confused. Now technically the On reading for kanji is the "Chinese" way of pronouncing it even though modern Chinese might no longer pronounce it the same way. The On readings are usually used in compound kanji words sort of like prefixes and suffixes. The Kun readings are used for stand alone kanji or for when the kanji is just followed by some hiragana for grammatical purposes. Clear as mud? (This is sort of like how we have words in English that came with French and others came from Anglo Saxon - only in Japanese they share the same characters.) Most (if not all) kanji dictionaries and learning systems will include both On and Kun readings and will have sample words that show how the On prefixes/suffixes work (borrowing our word here just for the sake of explanation) and showing what the Kun reading looks like with hiragana attached. Not all will have the original pictograph and explanation included like in the video you linked though some will. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paige Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Baby had a thing yesterday. We were at a restaurant and I gave him a few bites of my grits from shrimp and grits. After about 3 bites, his face turned bright red, his eyes got bloodshot, and he started obsessively rubbing his face, and got a little upset. I quit feeding him any and wiped his hands and face, and within 3min or so he was fine and all the redness and blotchy spots receded. That's an allergic type reaction, right? He'd had corn related stuff before and had no problem. My grandmother was highly allergic to shellfish so maybe it was the shrimp even if he didn't actually eat any?
