ikslo Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) Panera used to have a portabella mushroom and caramelized onion sandwich. The mushrooms were marinated in something delicious, the onions were perfectly sweet, it was oozing with mozzarella. Perfect for a girl who loved breads and wanted a sandwich, but didn't want meat. Oh my 'lanta, it was so good. I haven't eaten anything there in years, though, and they discontinued the sandwich. That broke my heart. lol Pioneer Girls? I didn't realize they still did that. I used to love Wednesday nights at church because we had Pioneer Girls. I am pretty sure I had the book memorized. There was a book? I don't remember a book. But we had the blue sashes and the song. I can still sing the song. And camp. Camp Cherith in Alfred, ME. Every.darn.summer. I don't think the (second) Director liked me much. :leaving: The first one was super nice grandmother-type. The second. Hmmmmmm. Even years later when my mom was visiting her (and I had to tag along), I got the distinct feeling that she did not like me. Made me wonder what my mother told her about me!

Jean in Newcastle Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I think I've figured out that my on-edge feeling is actually signaling that I'm cold.

hornblower Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I'm all done with the blood letting. I felt kind of silly standing out there so early but by the time the doors opened there were 30 people in the line up! I was glad to have the coveted #1 ticket. My parents are returning from their trip late tonight & so my little visitor is going to go home tomorrow. I'm planning to give her a bath & full groom today (actually I wish I could just shave her down but my mom would freak at me). Wanna see the little muffin? She's cute but actually not very cuddly and if you don't stay on top of her coat daily, she's a walking mat. My mom kind of inherited her from a friend who had a stroke.... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it used to be called Boys' Brigade? Camp was fun, though I was shy so I don't think I loved it as much as my sisters did. I remember horsemanship and swimming and campfire singing/devotionals and basket weaving and stepping in a bees nest while on a hike. (The nurse was super sweet taking care of me.) It was rustic.

KrissiK Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 KrissiK's advice for the day: if you have a little voice inside you that tells you to do something...... Do it! I am so mad. Didn't see the doctor. We had changed our phone # and I forgot to tell the dermatologist and I was wondering yesterday why I didn't get my reminder call and then I thought," oh yeah, I forgot to tell them our new phone#, maybe I should call them." But I didn't because something else came up. So, I get there this morning, after a 45 minute drive..."oh, Dr. Storey isn't in today. Didn't you get a reschedule letter?" No, I didn't. My address didn't change, so I should have gotten the letter, but I should have called when I thought of it. So, now I have to wait 2 weeks. She's a cancer doctor, so she's hard to get in to see. I think I'm going to call this afternoon and get on the cancellation list. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I loved Pioneer Girls. Loved it! When I was little I had a sky blue Jumper with a red sash all my little badges on it. I was so proud of it. Now they have Awanas, which I don't really like. My second son goes to CSB (Christian Service Brigade aka Boys brigade) with our neighbor's family and loves it. It sounds wonderful! They have some strong, solid men running it. They do calisthenics to a Bible verses. When they memorized the Armor of a God passage, they each got a wooden sword for doing it. It's very boyish and masculine and I think it's a good thing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hornblower Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Dd & I have spent over an hour mixing up meds for Keith the rat (& Bryoni the rat. She is recovering from a uti) One of the antibiotics is a powder & once reconstituted it only lasts for 2 weeks. Since we're using such tiny doses, the vet advised us to split the powder up into 4 batches & reconstitute as needed. So yeah, we've been cutting white powder with a library card. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
