I'm debating about calling him but I don't know if he's in a meeting. With my luck he's in a conference call with China again. I usually don't call unless we're headed to the ER. Like, we have a standing rule that he must pick up whenever/wherever if I'm at the point of dialing him. That said, dd hasn't stopped erupting since 1 pm, and it'd be nice if he could pick up pedialyte. Thoughts? We have the same thing. Everyone knows if they see him on the phone that he's coming home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 The new vacuum totally sucks! Matt says it's the best one we've ever had. I made pediatric and dentist appointments while we have insurance. And called an apartment and a realtor who specializes in rentals. I need to make optical appointments. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I woke up with a horrendous headache, but after breakfast, Advil, 2 showers, and resting in the dark with an ice pack, it seems to have calmed down. We are actually trying to get some homeschool done. One page of dd8's Abeka Language had a sentence about Robert Frost -- which rabbit trailed to Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening and The Road Less Traveled. It also rabbit trailed into looking at portraits of famous American poets. Dd10 is working on a book report about Noah Webster. And now she's doing laundry. Dd16 is finishing up a report on Dr. Seuss. Dd14 is sewing a doll-sized Boba Fett costume. She might have done some Apologia reading. I don't know what homeschool work dd12 has done today, but she did do the dishes so I'm not going to bother her about school work. :) 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One theory I've read is that it helps resolve gut permeability and helps the good bacteria in your stomach which in turn reduce inflammation and that it's the reduction in inflammation itself that continues to spin the cycle of weight loss. We'll see. But I have a package of frozen beef bones in my freezer again and I should get back on the band wagon. (I do the homemade bones/carrot/onions/garlic/bay leaf/acv version.) I'm thinking of alternating eating days with broth days for a bit to see if I can get my weight gain stopped and reversed. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quoting you again because I wasn't quite awake the first time. I did not change anything else. I just added bone broth. And I didn't take away calories by replacing it with bone broth. And I'm too lazy to go back to quote Prairie. The gut permeability / inflammation thing is another reason I drink it.

Susan in TN Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I removed everything from two kitchen counters and cleaned. That wasn't on my list, but it made me feel better. I mentioned to the kids a few days ago that we can make lefse today. They are holding me to it. Uff da. I think I can I think I can I think I can. (Have I ever mentioned how much I hate baking?

I think so - my understanding is that you are simply looking for stock/broth that has been simmered with bones for a long time - 8+ hours. Chicken feet are considered the gold of bone broth making! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't stand broth of any type. Texture issues. So the consistency is intolerable. THIS bone broth is absolutely delicious tasting and feeling! I mixed it in my coffee this morning and totally enjoyed it. And got 20g protein in the process! This is why I have started and then stopped bone broth in the past. I couldn’t stand it. Especially the kind in the carton. (It was oily and tasted yucky to me). But dh found this brand and I love it.

Critterfixer Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I is doing the things. I read through my first draft of a new story and sent it to alpha readers. I estimate I will need two full rewrites before I have the story just right, and I have four character profiles to do, and I will need a sensitivity reader--but I will wait until I get my alpha reads back. In the meantime, I have a website to work on and three special critiques to do (I gave away three and decided to take five) and I just finished up comments for another writer friend who has been feeling discouraged about his querying journey lately. A very writerly day! 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prairiewindmomma Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Query: If it has been exactly 24 hrs since your child was last violently ill, would you show up at a catered church luao? Just you? You and non-sick children? Everyone? Or, put another way, would you cherish this as an excuse to snuggle under blankets and sip on homemade chicken soup and avoid the cold, wet, dark outdoors and the need to socialize awkwardly with people (because you are adorably? awkward)???? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
