That is so close - how awesome for you!!! That is wonderful. I’m sure that the presentation will simply follow your findings, and you’ll rock it. I should be running more analyses on my data but I’d rather enjoy some port instead. Best of luck to you - you will be amazing!

You could also donate the gifts to someone who needs them. But that’s OK, keep letting the bitterness grow inside of you because that’s super helpful for your family, too. No wonder people in your family aren’t listening to you.

The issue is that typically, and especially for young kids, gifts are about the giver and not the receiver. These people are most likely saying “Oh shit, totally forgot to get something for the kid, that truck looks age-appropriate.” No matter how thoughtful you think the person is, a lot of that is happening.

My rescue boy (6 mos old; Blue Point Siamese) and I are having some port and watching some Discovery ID.

I’m chiming in to recommend low-carb high-fat if you don’t have any medical restrictions for such a plan. What it’s done for me is reduced joint pain and increased my stamina at least 10x. Oddly, although it reduces gluten in your diet, it was the carb reduction that reduced inflammation for me. On the 5th day, I woke…

Wrapping up my 2nd week in my semi-permanent housing after being displaced since 9/11 from Hurricane Irma. Still finding out stupid little things that I’m missing, like Q-Tips and Cottonelle buttwipes and my damn belt. The location has really grown on me and Mr.TARDIS is really pushing through the progress on the…

My master closet (and bed & bath) was ruined in Hurricane Irma, so I lost part of my wardrobe. I also can’t find a lot of the clothes I was able to save, so I did the same as you - Forever 21 & Forever 21 Plus (I lost 30lbs before the storm and gained 10lbs back - BOOO). Tomorrow evening I think I’m going to head to…

The issue is that we’d have to prove that she 100% had knowledge that the tree was rotting. Just having her yard guy and multiple neighbors (including us) saying “We told you so” unfortunately isn’t enough. Our insurance company was talking about going after her or her insurance company, so we are just going to leave…

Well, on the bright side, the master bath & closet were two places I have wanted to renovate in the worst way. Yes, we have pretty great insurance. This is our first claim in 20+ years of having the policy, so I’m praying it won’t raise our premiums too horribly. Will be about another 3 months before it’s done. :(

I love tribbles - that really does fit! ;)

My little terror (6 mos old) has antagonized me 24/7 because we were displaced in two different hotels since 9-11 due to Hurricane Irma. His idea of sleeping was doing parkour off of my head & headboard. He’s definitely calmed down since he & his brother have moved with us to semi-permanent housing where he has stairs…

A new master bedroom/bathroom/closet ... because Hurricane Irma took mine. :(

I’m working on an Outlander faux fur cowl. It uses eyelash yarn and is soooooooo soft. Can’t wait for cooler weather so I can wear it with some jeans and a sweater or jacket.

Catching up with y’all as I’ve been living the hotel life since 9-11 after my next-door neighbor’s rotted oak crashed into my bedroom ceiling. Since her blood type is vodka, she’s been pretty much relegated to smoking cigarettes in her garage and getting her boyfriend to go get her more booze. Five branches came…

OMG I remember that. UGH, so awful.

I teared up. I hope this works because I truly hope everyone can love Freddie a little more through it.

The video was absolutely pretty and well done. Luscious in many places. The song makes her sound like a Fergie wanna-be, though. Awful.

Sounds like your middle spawn has a great head on her shoulders, and isn’t going to take guff from anyone. Good for her.

Right now, we have okra out the YANG. Made some lasagna out of our Chinese eggplant tonight. Trying to regrow some cabbage for the 4th time, and hoping I can actually plant it successfully this time. Mr.TARDIS is obsessed with his pepper plants, and has all sorts of cayenne and hot peppers as well as banana peppers.

She is magnificent! She looks a lot like my oldest Meezer man. <3
