Wait, what? Are you (Texas) from the future? I have never heard of such a thing. I am just prepping for the long frozen winter somewhere north of you.

I Second the Motion.

Thanks for my reminder that I need to reboot my daily routines. I brush, floss, etc, but I know that even with daily showers I am naturally smelly. I have gotten lax on my deodorant, mouth wash, mints (although those are not very effective). I no longer wear an undershirt as I spend 99.9% of my time at home. Given…

I guess I never realized people don’t do this. I wouldn’t call it mindful eating though, just better eating. I still eat the whole unit of whatever it came in: bag, roll, etc.

Local is the thing. I love crab, I love crab cakes, I lived in MD when I was young and now that I’m in the Midwest I just don’t partake. There are foods that should only be local and unless you properly freeze it and pay for that proper freezing, seafood (oceanfood) is one of those you can’t touch or find at my local…

This is a game boy rechargeable battery. You can play while plugged into the wall. This allowed me to never have to ask my parents for AA’s. The clip on the back was so you could wear it on your hip while you walked around playing. I still use mine with my original game boy.

Very much appreciated, and as I commented to another, we remained good friends with those neighbors and they never said anything about it. Maybe it was all in our head, our embarrassment of doing that. Once we noticed it just seemed rude on our part even if nothing came of it. Will always think twice and maybe stop bef…

Yes, before and after we were good friends with our neighbors. They never said anything. It was just poor judgement on our part. 

The only time I felt bad about offal was when my parents had a pig roast and the only logical place to put it happened to be near the property line with the very kosher Jewish neighbors. That pig tongue was rotating all morning in full view until we realized it, but then it was too late to move. We felt so bad...

My kids, 5, 3, and newborn were happy to have their play set, built 2 years ago. Since March we developed a schedule of their outside play in the afternoon starting after lunch until it was time to come inside and make food. They have had 3 to 4 hour recesses while I watch the baby for months. They have learned to…

Even if it’s a made up title without pay, I really want to see this happen now.

My kids go through at least one costco chicken a week. I now get chicken bacon. It was delicious!

Thanks! I just started and was kind of curious if I could skip a few here and there.

I was in the middle of my paternity leave when this started. I was supposed to have a new born at home, send my 5 year old to school, and send my 3 year old to daycare only two days a week to save some money but keep her enrolled/have stucture/ and socialization. Since schools shut down three weeks ago I’ve been home…

Glad to hear it.

“chopsticks”..... Claire, has anyone told you recently how good you are at your job?

Don’t forget to practice on the wrong side of the road if you can! Saves your butt when you get to a residential one way city street.

Also, if your school district is cancelling school, give an envelop to the bus driver before it is too late.

Thanks for the reminder. I’m doing take out tonight, but I should tip like I’m dining in, including on the drinks I would have had.
