LOL, was that a confession? ;) My arm keeps sticking to this desk, as someone probably had candy here last night, or spilled the pepsi sitting here. Just FYI, I eat candy everyday. I'm a candyaholic. Most definitely chocolate! Dark chocolate! If I can have a few nibbles of dark...

My dad said that quite often too! Then at the same time as retirement for him my mom was diagnosed w/ breast cancer and they told him he was just a short # of hours (like 30 hrs or something stupid) shy of qualifying for healthcare under his retirement plan. So they refinanced their home...

:ep I couldnt imagine not ever having a coney dog!!!!!!! You've got to try it! It's hard to find them around my area at restaurants... and even harder to find the sauce at the grocery store (that tastes anything decent) Though one store carries some occasionally... I'm sure I"lll enjoy...

Wow! I didn't know that there were still schools allowed to do that. Around here they don't. And I (like beekissed) wouldn't trust the teacher's at our local schools to punish my children. I would trust one of the principal's (he's a strong Christian leader and we know him well and trust...

LOL! That cracked me up! My dad was a trucker (retired now) and I heard it all. But that's great that you warned people! Thanks for sharing your knowledge! I know when my DH was in FL during a hurricane a few years ago, and I was in MI, it was awful not having contact for a few days.

That's wonderful! Congrats on your good fortune!

Yes, I started doing that this month. Seeing how far we could get through the month w/ just one fill up trip. I've picked up bread and milk a fresh veggies once. Yesterday had to stop for burger for chili and the extra's started flying in the cart "mom can we get burritos, can we get corn...

Thanks! Can't wait to try it! Funny about "what's that there sauce" hehehehe!

beekissed, please, PUHLEEEZ share your coney sauce recipe! (will begging work?) ;)

LMBO... this made me crack up! Well said Pat! That's funny and true! I'd like to see more money put into early childhood problems/issues. They keep taking away, and then the prison populations will be growing. (no evidence to this that I know of, just my opinion) Not all young children are...

beekissed, i did similar for my 12yo's birthday this year. Great minds think alike! Though I didn't use a tackle box, I used a lockable storage trunk, but it's a plastic one. NOt sure how else to describe it. And gave him a lock and keys w/ it (one key for me, one for him) so he has a place...

thanks for posting! I just went there and created the sentence worksheets w/ our spelling words! I like the create your own type of things like that! TFS

I started out unschooling w/ the kids, just so they'd get out of the mindset of what "school" had been to them. That didn't work for my 8yo though, he needs rigid structure, so he has curriculum he does everyday, and follows a routine of how his day goes. my daughter (6yo) has curriculum...

Did you live in the U.P. the whole time? We were just up there this past weekend for work, and we were wondering how the job situation is up there, vs lower peninsula/Northern MI. Where are you? We were wondering if closer to WI would have more job opps? Not that I want to move again, but it...

My brother gave us one of those for a gift several years ago, and well, we never once used it. I got sick of moving it from house to house (we moved alot) and sold it at the garage sale before our last move. NOW ya give me the idea of a better use for it! :) I'll hve to see if my parents...

Ooh, I had fun reading all the posts of your memories! I do miss my grandma's dumplins too! My mom's tried making them, but they're not nearly the same, nor as good. My mom's another one in the "can't cook" group. After reading the posts here, I think I realize now that it's b/c her mother...

I did mine on the grill burner this year. I cooked whatever needed to be cooked inside on the stove in the kitchen, then took the filled jars out to the porch and put into the canning pot on the grill. It was a pain going back and forth b/c there was always a dog or a kid in the middle of my...

I tried that recipe last week, my family (all kids incl) loved it. I did it w/ zuchini though. Once I told DH it was zuchini instead of apples in there, he stopped eating it and didn't like it anymore. :rolleyes: (after he'd already inhaled half a bowl full) I should've never told him!

When ya figure that one out, please PM me w/ details! My mom wants to just go ahead and buy me one b/c I won't fork over the money for one, but I told her NO WAY... waaaaay too expensive for an item like that! :) So "The Champ" doesn't eat chickens? ;)

amen! My friend in FL has homeschooled her children up until this year and had to stop for family crisis situation, but last year their local school district provided them online curriculum, not sure if it's all over FL or not? But I know another state also does that. Books came along w/ it...
