Oh, no! Hugs to you, MoNana and the whole fam!!!
@quiksylver296 thank you for the virtual hugs. They're appreciated and needed. It's so crazy how someone you haven't even met yet and have only know about for a very short amount of time, can affect you so deeply. I want to hug my step-daughter and tell her how sorry I am. She's such a sweet, sweet girl. I hope things work out in the baby department for her later. Hopefully, much, much later.

Oh no. I am so sorry.
Thank you.

Ooh, that IS exciting!! Good luck. You're N Alberta, right? What's the market like there? Calgary here, and things are still selling where I am but my parents are in Okotoks and nothing is selling at all, so you might get a steal of a deal.My secret is that there is a little house for sale that I am putting an offer on tonight and I am really hoping they'll accept. I'm so so so so so excited about it but I'm not telling anyone IRL (besides my family) because I'm afraid I'll jinx it. It's perfect for me (and my dog
)
I've lived with my brother for 8 years and while we still get along the thought of having a space that is 100% mine is... well, to be honest I can't even think of the right word for it.

Mo brought up her step-daughter's miscarriage and that set me thinking.
When I was trying to get pregnant, I had a early miscarriage (12 weeks in, but doctor thought baby stopped developing at 6 weeks). I had no idea how many women actually experienced miscarriages until I had one. Then everyone told me about theirs. I was shocked. It is much more common than I had thought.
My confession: I wasn't that upset about the miscarriage even though we had been trying to get pregnant. I figured the baby was not right somehow, and I had dodged a bullet of a handicapped child. NO JUDGMENT!0 -

Confession 1: I packed an awesome lunch today and wanted to devour it before 11 this morning. I don't take lunch until 1. I managed to make it until noon, but now I'm sad because my food is over. I often get sad when my food is over.
Confession 2: I totally had Dr. Pepper last night with my Auntie Anne's pretzel bites and didn't log it. Oops.
My youngest (8) has a bad habit of taking bites out of her lunch why she packs it. The school policy is no junk food (crisps/chips, chocolate, cookies/biscuits) so it's not like it's something sweet. Came down stairs yesterday and she had half her sandwich gone. This was after her breakfast.
Errrrr, what?! How is that even enforced and why? I'm all for encouraging healthy habits, but this seems a bit extreme.
My children's school is the same. I'm used to it now.
my kids school does this too. sort of. The meal must be "balanced" so you cant send a bag of chips and a can of pop and call it lunch. You can send a snack sized bag of chips along with a sandwich and an apple.
If the lunch you packed is not a "balanced" lunch, they will give your child a sack lunch from the kitchen, which is a cheese sandwich on wholegrain bread, a fruit, a carton of milk, and a oatmeal cookie.
Then you get a nasty note about the inadequate lunch you packed. So that is how they enforce it. I know this because I asked the school at length about it.
My son has a sensory disorder, so basically his lunches are the same thing, everyday, with no variation. I was worried I would get nasty notes about it, but they assured me that was not the case! Thank goodness.
Thank you all who have explained this lunch policy. It makes me wonder what would've happened if that was enforced in my elementary school because from 1st - 3rd grade I suffered extreme anxiety which led to stomach issues and the only thing I could keep down for lunch for three years was a single chocolate pudding. That was it. In 4th & 5th grade I managed 1 plain tuna sandwich. (and I'm still lagging behind on this thread; been super busy at work)
I had anxiety as a child, too, which also resulted in me throwing up very frequently. Looking back, it's odd my parents never seemed to worry about it. Did you eventually outgrew it? I still have anxiety, but grade school was the only time period I threw up from it habitually.
I did eventually outgrow it, thankfully, by middle school, I believe. My mom is overly obsessed with medical treatments and medication so she tried to put me on several things back then, but thankfully my pediatrician wasn't a pill-pusher so I mainly just dealt with it.0 -

OH NO! I"m SO sorry. Very heartbreaking for all of you. Please make sure everyone takes the time and the proper individual path to grieve. Everyone will handle it differently, but it doesn't mean one person is right and the other is wrong. This is a very individualized experience. So sad.0 -
My secret is that there is a little house for sale that I am putting an offer on tonight and I am really hoping they'll accept. I'm so so so so so excited about it but I'm not telling anyone IRL (besides my family) because I'm afraid I'll jinx it. It's perfect for me (and my dog )

Yay! So exciting! I hope your offer is accepted!0 -

Yes, I'm in Alberta. I think things are slowing down in real estate but they're still selling. I'm going to be offering what's fair for today's market, but these people bought about 5 years ago when prices were at their highest so they may not be willing to let it go for less. I'm trying to tell myself that it will work out if it's meant to be but in truth I really want it.
I think Calgary's prices are a bit higher than here (Edmonton area) but they're probably close. It's nearly impossible to find anything under $200,000 here and if you can it's usually townhouses or condos (there's nothing wrong with those, but they come with extra fees) or there's a lot of issues with the house.0 -

Today's confession is: While I got workouts in Friday, Saturday & Sunday, and I was under calorie goal all weekend...fully 2/3 of my calories came from cake & cookies. And cinnamon rolls...
I have a bit of a problem

Maybe they have one leg longer than the other and didn't want to do the crooked seeing your hip up and leg around thing. Maybe they have struggled with that all their lives.

I posted about foot shufflers a couple hundred pages back. There 2 people in my office that I want to stab in the throat with a pen every time I hear them dragging their feet like Walkers.

Sadly, they are very common and very misjudged still. Very few people talk about them. Understandably, but it is amazing how many have experienced this tragedy. And, no judgement for your feelings at all - I never say it out loud to anyone, but I feel that if this happens, it means the child was spared some terrible thing they would have experienced had they lived.0 -

I'm getting really sick of the hoops I'm having to jump through for a potential job. It's retail, working basically as a stock person/cashier. In the past when I've applied for jobs like this, it was: fill out a one-page application, go for an interview (or sometimes a group interview), get a call that you got the job. Period.
For this one, I had to fill out a half-hour long application online. Had a phone interview. Had an interview with an assistant manager. And now have to go back for ANOTHER interview with someone else! I'm sorry, but what is this madness?! I'm applying to a work in a store, not the freakin' FBI!
Sorry but this seems ridiculous and I'm just frustrated. If you don't know by now if you want me to work there or if you don't want to hire me, just say so! I'm a big girl and I can take the rejection.
On the plus side, I thought I looked pretty good all dressed up and fancy-like.
I think it is more to see how MUCH you want the job. If you wasn't fussed you wouldn't have gone through all of this. It's to see how dedicated you are. Good luck!
Thanks Yeah, I thought that might be the purpose; at least I hope it is and not that they aren't convinced I can do the job. I guess I can understand it especially since there is usually so much turnover in retail employees.
I think this is why they try to be more thorough, but it probably costs them in the long run anyway. Hoping you get hired and that it is a good fit!
Thanks! 0 -

Good luck!! I've bought several houses alone. My first house was when I was 25, I still remember it fondly.
It's a good feeling having a place that is all yours and nobody else.0 -
Hey, are we on page 420 on 04/20???
That is awesome!
So, I missed when everybody was posting about foreheads. I have a very pronounced widows peak. The past few years is the first time I've ever gone without bangs, I'm still so self conscious about it. I remember swimming at a friends house as a freshman in high school and they all said I looked like a vampire (also outrageously pale).0 -

I'm sorry to hear that. I have the same thought as far as there having been something not right with the baby's development. Not that handicapped children aren't right. When the time is right, it'll happen, I'm sure.

I personally know both of them, and it's not because their legs are different lengths, although, decent theory. I think it's because both of them wear shoes that are too big and they're too lazy to pick up their stupid feet and walk like human beings. It is a HUGE pet peeve of mine. If there was a name for that disorder, like the one where you can't stand to hear people eating (also a pet peeve of mine) than I have it.

DD Birthday today, clelbrate!0

Last night all I had for tea (I mean dinner/evening meal/whatever, I'm British) was a slice of cake. So good, don't even regret it as it was the same calories as a normal meal. And I was full afterwards.
I'm currently formulating my 'cake-based meal replacement diet'.
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
I'd post a pic if I knew how lol)
That suddenly has me thinking how 'interesting' it would be if we could each utilize personalized currency...!
It would create one unbelievable nightmare-of-an-issue when it came to 'exchange rates', however...

I'm so sorry. I think 'MoNana' is adorable - I hope you get to use that name very soon.0
