Susan in TN Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 There is plenty of Hallelujah Chorus to go around! ? Some Progress has been made on the pantry. I find it felpful to listen to "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" while working on it. Dh and ds23 are walking downtown to the church because Music Festival means no parking available in a 5-mile radius. It's only a mile-and-a-half to get there. Krissi, I'm with you on the painting hire. How do you like the paint color? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Good morning. I did not sleep enough. We leave for camp por la mañana. We're out of breakfast foods! We have 2 eggs. The kids had burgers. I'm having coffee. Alex tended to my imaginary wounds with his doctor kit. It was quite painful and I'm not sure he's destined for the medical field. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I'm irritated with people today. The jumped from behind thread is not helping. I was beat up in high school, but not for long. After he smashed my face into a locker and I got in trouble for it I stopped going to the principal for help and I think he got bored. And no one is listening to me today and it's annoying. Everyone is excited or stressed. I hate camping. 2 minutes ago, Susan in TN said: If you ever meet my FIL, he will show you the hospital picture from when he cut off his nose with a chain saw.

Susan in TN Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 (edited) The pantry is done for now. Jam and canned plums all have their own spaces. Sheets and towels are in the washing machine. Peppermint extract has been blended a bit and put back to sit in the dark. Plum kuchens are cooling. I'm eating leftover spaetzle with mushroom gravy for lunch. Coffee is next. Edited September 22, 2018 by Susan in TN 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paige Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 (edited) I'm painting DS's bathroom because we're too cheap to pay the contractor to do it. Apparently since they didn't tear those walls out the insurance won't pay for it to match the rest of the basement. Boop de boop, back in the painting grind! It's much easier to paint a bathroom with no toilet, sink, or vanity. Funny thing is that we've lived here over 3 years and we just realized that the ceiling in DS's bathroom was painted a dark blue/gray! No other ceiling that I've found is painted. We must never look up. I wonder why it was painted? It doesn't match the hideous orangey cream walls.

KrissiK Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Word to the wise.... it is worth it to buy top-quality paint. In the past we bought mid-grade paint and regular rollers. This time, on the advice of a friend, we bought top quality Sherwin Williams paint and a lambskin roller..... big difference! Big difference!! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 My neighbor and her boxer and me and Juliet all went together to our favorite pet store's grand opening (after they moved to a new location). While I was signing up for a $100 raffle ticket, Juliet helped herself to the open treat bar. Everyone was laughing and I was (just a bit) mortified when I turned around to find out why. They also had free pet photos. I was impressed at how well Juliet did modeling with no leash on to keep her there. We also got treat bags with stuff for kitties, doggies (and bunnies since the bunnies will steal the cat toys). Juliet is 46.8 pounds for anyone who is interested. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Warning! Reptilepo! So we had decided on a leopard gecko for Mr. John because he was anti-snake. Well, I found out yesterday he thought they were slimy because they're shiny. So we're looking at corn snakes and ball pythons. Any experience with those? Pros: Less frequent feedings. Less frequent cleanings. We wouldn't be breeding the food. I don't want to breed the food. Breeding the food is butt. Snakes don't require as much handling which would be good as he goes through different seasons of life. Cons: Larger tank. 20-40 year lifespan. This is a major con. We were hoping the leopard gecko wouldn't make John's 18th birthday, freeing up the responsibility before he left home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had her 4 years and she's about 3 1/2 feet long. She is super-chill and is regularly handled by the kids in my 4-H club and the kids at my classroom. I have usually seen 20 years for a corn snake lifespan, except under rare circumstance. We are up to 3 mice (which we order frozen from Amazon) once a week. ETA: We find her a lot easier than most lizards or other snakes would be because we live in an area that is a native habitat. No super crazy exact control of temperature and humidity. She does have a heat pad but when we lost power, she was fine because she hadn't eaten recently (need belly heat to digest).
