Once upon a time, they were hunted to near extinction in these parts. I THINK they're protected now. Can't remember for sure. I've never actually seen one IRL. Yes, I've had pheasant. It's wonderful. They were wild where my grandma lived and we had friends hunt them. Sometimes just hit them with their car. Whatever's easiest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Someone gave me a homemade, padded, quilted diaper bag. I kept enough diapers and wipes in it for church and used it for the first six weeks because I would put the baby on the inside of all the padding and only have one thing to carry. #momoftheyear I bought a backpack thinking that Matt would carry it while I carried the baby, but he did not want to do that. I bought the Skip Hop that Servie has and I liked it but I found that I was carrying all of the Bible's, water bottles and jackets too. Now I have giant bag that does all the things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 OK - I think I see one major difference - I never put my own "purse" things or anyone else's things in a bag for the baby. I have one small purse to carry my own things and everyone else has to carry their own things. We might have had a separate Kroger bag for the toddler to carry a diaper, but by that age we didn't really bring "stuff" for them. I am a major minimalist when it comes to "bringing stuff along". Dd22 said her travel companions were shocked when she only had a carry-on and small purse for their 3-week trip to SE Asia. I trained her well. 😂 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just in case. 🙂 Yes - best to be prepared. And surely won't go to waste in any case! Dh took dd14 to the pet store to find a bigger tank for her bullfrog, but the 40 gallon ones were nearly $300! Svengo. But the store guy, who often talks "beards" with dh says he has a big tank that he bought from a friend that he's trying to get rid of and will sell for $30. Sold! Also she is now begging for chickens. I feel certain she would take good care of them, but I don't know. We still have our Two Elderly Hens and I was kinda hoping we would be moving away from having so many small pets.

Susan in TN Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Dd17 is supposed to find out her blood type for a tutorial class. Her PCP doesn't have a record of it. She's never had surgery or anything, and I'm not sure she would be allowed to give blood since she is underweight and has low iron (the Red Cross will tell you your blood type after donating). Any ideas? We could take her in and order a test, but I don't want to bother with it (or pay for it) if I don't have to. I might just tell her she's out of luck on this one.

I think that there is a test that you can do at home? I think it's a science lab that somebody must sell somewhere. My blood type is A Negative, so all of my kids had to have their blood typed at birth. They ALL have the same blood type -- A Positive. After dd10 was born, I asked a nurse if she could just go get the Rho-Gam that I needed. She said they had to type the blood first. OK, follow procedures. 😉 LOL. The next day a different nurse came into my room. She told me that she had my Rho-Gam. I said, "I know. Her blood type is A Positive." She wondered how I already knew that. I said that she was my sixth child and they all have the same blood type. I think that A Positive in probably the only combination that Dh and I can have together. I must have two As and he must have two positives. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
