I haven’t eaten at McDonald’s in years even before I was gluten free. If I gave into the cravings I would discover after one bite that there was a chemical aftertaste and that I actually couldn’t eat it. For many years, I couldn't eat cakes from Kroger because they all tasted like someone dumped cigarette ashes into the cake batter. People thought I was crazy. I don't taste it anymore, so either my tastebuds or their cake mix changed. How are your elbows? Bad Batter Booyah! This is the thread that never ends, It just goes on and on my friends.

This is the thread that never ends You'd best come join it with your friends 'Cuz it will replace Facebook as the latest web-based craze And everyone will post here instead for the rest of their days This is the thread that's always there They'll cheer you up so don't despair The group is growing well as more people start checking in And we'll keep sucking them in because our cheer is addictive This is the thread that never ends It's better than a Mercedes Benz It helps with coffee withdrawal and other troubles, too Eighteen hundred pages of friends all cheering for you This thread keeps going on and on with record-setting length and fun It started forty-eight months ago from curiosity and all the fun and frolic has shown this is the place to be This is the thread that never ends... And the place where one finds special friends, the kind that have hearts that are strong and true Yes, ITT ladies, I am talking to you!

Wheres Toto Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Two classes done, one to go. I'm eating my lunch hiding in my classroom until my next class. Last class is older kids so will be a little easier. Then I take dd home because she didn't bring her schoolwork with her, then come back to do all the dishes. Massive massive amount of dishes. I had dd come today to help out with the little kids class and be there for biology because I have an age range from 4 years old to 10 years old for Biology (with 6, 8, 8, 8 in between) and I wasn't sure if the 10 year old would be uncomfortable with all the little kids so having dd there (she's 12) often helps with that. It's technically a 3rd grade and up class, long story how I ended up with a 4 year old. He's actually fine from a safety and disruption standpoint. I ended up talking to the mom of the 10 year old after and she's going to see about moving both her kids to the older kids class, which is for 5th and up. First week is always fun when I get a chance to see how the classes actually shake out. I have a lot of new students this year so a lot of unknowns. I have a 3rd and up class that is two 12 year olds and a 10 year old, so I never really know how a class will be. I don't let younger kids into the older Chemistry or Biology, unless I've already had them in class and know them because we do dissections (scalpels) and use hot plates and alcohol burners. So for safety reasons. And once or twice I had to tell a parent their just turned 10 year old wasn't ready for those classes yet. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer the Cobb salad from Chick-fil-A, though. BK makes me sick. The last time I went to Wendy's was years ago. It made my kids sick. We hate Taco Bell. When I'm pregnant, I always crave one taco supreme then I'm good. Whataburger is just plain gross. The fried apple pies are the only thing worth ordering. Sonic is our other favorite. I think Sonic and Whataburger are just Texas things? We have Whataburger here.

Critterfixer Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I am not ketchupped. I am mustard, and very stressed. But hopefully that situation will be over soon. I've been on the phone with lawyers all day. Writers' meeting is going to be fun. We are celebrating a book deal for a friend of mine, and I made cheesecake and chocolate sauce.

Wheres Toto Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I think I've been to a Sonic in Pennsylvania. But I'm not sure it was a long time ago. I did go to the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company in New Orleans. We love seafood in our house. Dh cooks slightly separate meals for everyone. He and dd loves spicy food, I can't eat spicy food without feeling sick, and ds has SPD and is super picky with textures and tastes. He says he doesn't mind doing different things. We went to a local nice Italian restaurant after our wedding. We went back every year for our anniversary for the first 10 years, then decided it wasn't as good anymore and figured year 11 was a good time to try something different. We've been going to a different place each year for the past 4 years. I think I had Whataburger a few times when I went to college in Fort Worth over 30 years ago. It was gross. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 SIL's wedding video is up. Aside from the kids the bride's entire family is excluded from the video except one scene with Matt behind the pulpit. There is even one scene that's awkwardly cropped so that I'm not in it.

I didn't personally know anyone, but when I think of the 3,000 lives lost...it's devastating to consider. Please pray with us for the surviving family and friends. I imagine today is very hard for them, even if it has been 18 years. We don't have a lot planned for today. Driving by a house we're thinking of looking at this weekend, school, and kids' church tonight. I'm hoping I can get a nap in, too. I knew Todd from the plane. He's famous for "Let's roll." I can still here him say it. We weren't close at all, but it's weird seeing him tied to it. He's one of those people that went in and out of my life and I wouldn't know he died, but every September there he is. And I had an actual friend in the second tower who survived. He was in the shower and heard the first hit, immediately took off in his bathrobe leaving his clothes, wallet, keys and phone behind.

Her aunt and a friend looked at each other and said "forget that" and got out. Dh's brother was on his way into the city for his birthday, but they hadn't gotten there yet.
