Jean in Newcastle Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 :grouphug: So is ds fine or is he diagnosed with something and put on meds? Re. the teen girl thing. I find snarky and snotty hard to deal with because it makes me want to respond in kind with snarky and snotty but that would elicit more snarky and snotty making me even more snarky and snotty. . . so it is best for me to take the high road (and the road I think God wants me to take) to begin with. So I'm dealing with my inner teenage girl and it isn't pretty. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we just eat them all! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texasmama Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Okay, I have a few things to say. One, I have decided that it is too much trouble to try and keep the cat and kitten from eating each other's food. I started mixing it all together a few weeks ago, and now I am going to leave off buying kitten food at all. It gives the cat gas, and I think the kitten will be just fine on canned adult cat food. Plus, twice a day I am mixing two types of canned cat foods and some dry food with water. It is a bit much. Second, my sweet little co-op class is the quiestest group I have ever taught. I heart them, but they are mute and in need of professional evals and help. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critterfixer Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I am seriously considering making cheesecake this weekend. Just because, well, it's cheesecake. And I might become interested in making a dark chocolate sauce to go with it, or maybe raspberry coulis. Maybe both. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Does it grind up the seeds? No, there are little holes on the bottom that let juice out, but keep the seeds and skins in. Apple sauce is so easy using the foley. You cut the apples in halves or quarters (no need to peel or core them), simmer in water until soft and then put them through the mill. Easy peasy. The apple sauce is the smoothest sauce I have ever had - almost creamy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wintermom Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Let's all ask ourselves The Miracle Question. If we woke up tomorrow and all of our problems were fixed, what would be different? I'm not 100% sure I'll even sleep tonight, as the puppy we're boarding for the weekend has been whining and barking non-stop. He's cute, but a bit of a pain. Other than that, I've no idea where to begin. I'm not sure if many of my problems are caused by my own behaviour and choices. So maybe if I woke up (providing I did fall asleep in the first place), I wouldn't recognize myself. ;) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Lynn Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Let's all ask ourselves The Miracle Question. If we woke up tomorrow and all of our problems were fixed, what would be different? Someone would have kon-mari-ed my house for me, put in new carpet/hardwood and paint and it would be beautiful. And, while I'm at it, how about a whole addition - a real laundry room, a hang-out / media room for kids, and a bedroom so that three boys aren't crammed into one. And my family would understand how to maintain their stuff so that clutter wouldn't get out of hand again. And cooking would seem as effortless as reading. And I would find the perfect math curriculum (now you know we're in fantasy land!). And my oldest would think I had interesting opinions.
