KrissiK Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 (edited) 58 minutes ago, Susan in TN said: I have never had a Japanese cucumber. I can’t manage regular cucumbers, so I’ll need KrissiK to send me some. They are similar to the English cucumbers you can buy at the store that are 3x the price of regular cucumbers. Japanese cucumbers are long and thin and have a thin skin but they are kind of prickly. Edited March 14, 2021 by KrissiK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which kind of defeats the purpose of the thread. @Slache suggested that we should call it "Ignore This, Too" so that it will still be ITT. I think our anniversary tomorrow would be a perfect day to start it. Junie, if you start it, I will come. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Dd16 and dd14 are working on their own. Dd13 took a spelling test -- I was able to dictate the words to her. Dd10 is working on grammar. She originally chose math. I told her no. Bible. Nope, too many verses to look up. Grammar? I told her that I could do that in my sleep.

Susan in TN Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 On this fine morning in history, I stand before you all to say thank you. Thank you for being awesome elephant ninja chicks. Thank you for making me laugh at loud, or at least chuckle under my breath often. Thank you for being as close to sisters as one can have in a non-IRL relationship. You are all beautiful, sweet, smart, and wicked cool, and my life is better for having known you. I think sometimes today everyone should post their speech. And we need cupcakes. And champagne. (N/A for those who abstain, of course.) And SWB should definitely stop by... Because we are apparently all her besties. 🥰 to all!

Wheres Toto Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Morning. Happy Belated Anniversary ITT. I'm not sure how long I've been on here. I vaguely remember being a newbie and inching my way in. I need to send a message to a mom who keeps coming late to pick up her kid. 15-20 minutes late after the last class of the day for the teacher so she'd like to clean up and go home and can't if she has to supervise a kid. Trying to think of a nice way to word it. I need to get back to my Tai Chi. I've been forgetting about doing it with all the crazy lately and I think it really makes a difference in my mornings. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Good morning! My shoulder decided to have a Major hissy-fit in the middle of the night. Pinched nerve kind of thing. It eventually settled down but flared back up during breakfast. I'm back in bed trying to move as little as possible. CT scan later today - I will have to have dh take me if my shoulder doesn't settle down. Otherwise regular day of lessons around here.

Junie Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Good Morning! Happy Tuesday! I'm feeling a lot better today. I'm hoping to get the winter decorations (snowmen) put away today and put out the few Easter decorations that we have. Also, I'm trying to figure out the best way to get Easter candy to my college kids. I think I'm going to put in an order at Target and have one of them get a ride to the store to go pick it up. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I finally finished my Challies Challenge book. Took me a month to finish one book - started 3 and managed to finish the 3rd (I'm a Stranger Here Myself). The first 2 were digital books and maybe that was part of it. I think my next book will be The Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking, since dd12 has been pestering me to read it for weeks. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I called the countertops people this morning about getting a template made.

Of course this morning's mix-up were the words "cabinets" and "countertops" which aren't really construction lingo but work with me here. . . 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikslo Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I'm back. I only got blocked out of this thread one time today. So things are looking up. My job is crazy still. But DH has had enough of working in commerical printing, his body was breaking down, and he was being asked to start working rotating weekends. I told him that if he was okay with it financially he could say no and quit. So he did. He is officially retired. Since my job requires travel this is actually a good thing for us. I told him that this is the end of me being responsible for certain things around the house now, though, since I am working and he is not. I passed the baton to him on those items. He's okay with that. 😉 I did still attempt to edumacate my kid a bit yesterday, though. DH isn't up for more than telling him to go do his schoolwork. So still planning on public school for high school at this point. We shall see. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm currently sort of doing the Great Courses Plus - Tai Chi for Aging with Strength and Tranquility. So far I'm still working from the first lecture - Tai Chi in Paradise (it's in Hawaii). I did it a few times with the video, now I have a cheat sheet with notes on what to do and I do it without the video playing. I can't stand listening to the chatter once I know what to do. I play meditation music and do it with my eyes closed now with just a peek at my cheat sheet if I need to. Once I get bored with what I'm doing now, I'll watch some more and add or change it up. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
