Hahahaha! I had a very strong urge to warn someone not to buy a Pontiac just the other day! We were sitting in a parking lot by a used car dealership watching a young guy and his parents check out a shiney red T-Top, much like HW's old car. As he was taking out the top and sitting in the driver's seat I knew he would turn the key and hear that deep "blub blub, blub, blub" engine and be hooked. I wanted to yell at that ki

Reply to EVERYBODY NEEDS AN ANDERSON in Misc JoeUser Forums

Jimmy - I love it when school is out for the summer. For about 3 weeks. I know it sounds awful to wish your kids were somewhere else for the day, but after those first 3 weeks I am out of fun ideas, the weather gets miserable hot and everyone gets cranky and mean. And there's still 2 months to go... My take on school has always been that the school can provide the needed structure that I am not gifted at, but I try to stay on top of what they are studying and co

And I'm so very, very glad she did!! You are right, Mrs. Anderson is the best. I feel very lucky that our elementary school has been so full of great teachers and they have a great principal, too. One of the few problems I ever had with the school was over those ridiculous planners. When Emma started 4th grade she was required to have a parent sign her planner everyday. If she didn't get it signed, she would lose her only recess. I understand the importance of

(oops, that posted before I was done) The cleanest my house has ever been was for the 2 weeks we spent in California a couple of summers ago. I would think of my house all clean and shiny while I was away, but you know, as soon as we were living in it again, it didn't stay that way. Homes are always a work in progress because the work can't stay done. We wear clothes, eat off dishes, walk on the floors - you know - LIVE. The expectation for perfect

It's true that some people just don't have a talent for keeping house. And it is just as draining and unfulfilling to have to get up and face that everyday as it is for someone to go to work when they hate their job.

There is a show on the Travel Channel (I think) called Man vs. Food. It kind of felt like that in my kitchen last week: Mamie vs. Cheesecake. I wasn’t sure who would win… <span styl

I really love this story about Rita. And our little Jasper is a great guy. But, you know that "Ahab" and "Tripod" would only work until his cast comes off!

Reply to I Felt Everything: Natural Birth... in Home & Family Stardock Forums

TW, what a beautiful story! Makes me all scared and excited, now that I'm getting ready to do it again. As for Rosie's story, I have been meaning to write the account of all of my babies's births and I may as well get going on it. Rosie's just seems more interesting, or maybe just comical, to people. I'll get it posted soon.

Reply to What is on your Menu for Thanksgiving Dinner? in Cooking Stardock Forums

I love Thanksgiving! Every year we go to my In-laws for Thanksgiving, and I never get to cook - I love to cook - so we started our own tradition of "Thankful Friday" a couple of years ago where we make our own Thanksgiving feast the day after. (No leftovers is no fun!) This year we are having turkey, gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, spaghetti squash - cooked with bacon and onions, yum - rolls, cranberries, and I think I will attempt some sort of
