Beer. Any kind. When I was in high school and thought I knew it all I could drink it like water. Now the THOUGHT of just the smell makes my stomach roll. Good stuff? Apple pie moonshine ..backwoods Tennessee redneck brewed Smirnoff whipped cream vodka Ohh yum! Disaronno straight up or with cranberry Jaeger bombs Flaming Dr…

Actually 4 houses on my block share an enormous garden! Beans potatoes, corn, cucumbers, tomato, peas, zucchini, squash, onions, ...I can a lot for winter too. I make bread items and freeze them. I buy meat only when its on sale. I hit different stores for sale items and coupons to double and triple my savings. I have a…

They are 11, 13, 14. I don't have a problem with the "if u don't eat dinner u can go without" I was raised that way. I don't work, I'm disabled. Telling them to stay out of the kitchen is like expecting to win a lottery. Boys are sneaky Guess I'll just get a locking cabinet. I don't like the idea of having to lock up food.…

Ok reading all these replies ...I need to clarify some things. I don't buy snack cakes. When I buy chips/Doritos its for when we have hamburgers for dinner. Not just to have around. I stock up on tons of fruits and veggies. I buy the 2 pound jars of peanut butter. I get 1% milk. I make homemade bread, biscuits, pancakes,…

It's my job and responsibility to cook for my kids. They are kids. Being inconsiderate means they eat everything in the house without thinking anyone may want some of it. This doesn't mean just snacks. I am talking about apples, oranges, nuts, bananas, grapes, shredded wheat cereal, corn flakes, plain yogurt strawberries…

I bargain shop. I can get ENOUGH to last for the week. Its not that I'm strapped for cash. Its that they eat it all within 2 days. It wouldn't matter if I bought double, hit food banks, cleaned out a grocery store. If its in my house they EAT IT ALL! I get meat on sale. Bread I make homemade. I buy freezer items in bulk. I…

Recoiljpr...... if they would EAT the food I made and not ALL the snacks and junk and treats in one or two days I wouldn't care. But now it's like I'm wasting money on good food going in the trash, and snacks n treats for anyone else for the week because they want to Hoover it almost before its in the door. If they ate…

Car and truck are both paid in full.

I buy 2 dozen eggs at a time. Each kid get 4 eggs when I cook them. If I don't make homemade noodles I'll buy whole wheat spaghetti and make double (2#) ..enough for 10-12 ppl. They don't finish that. But they'll go back 30 minutes later and eat 8 mini bags of Doritos, each. I just don't get it. Even when the junk food is…

Chicken (make any kinda way) Potatoes (make fries, baked, mashed etc) Spring rolls And gravy. But gravy isn't food its more of a condiment. Gravy is good on everything! to wash it down bottled water and Disaronno and whipped cream vodka ;)

When my oldest was in preschool he also had speech therapy. They do sounds and picture recognition etc. The teacher points to a picture and he says the word and she writes it EXACTLY the way he pronounces it. Egg, house, dog, firef uck ... she called me laughing hysterically. Took him almost 3 years to say TRuck. Same kid…

^^^this [/quote] Yeah she's covered this. It's not in the literal sense. She was being sarcastic. As in A JOKE.
-
Not hijacking your post but a fast question ... For people who don't get sarcasm get all butthurt n twisted about saying you hate your husband .. I wonder what they would say if I told them my husband and I often sit up and talk about how we'd knock each other off and get away with it, what we'd do with each others bodies,…
-
Its called SARCASM. its meant to be humorous. She didn't mean it maliciously. but its nice to know that you're looking out for her husbands feelings. How sweet.
-
My husband is the same way. I think of a cracker and gain 15 pounds. He eats 25000 calories all junk, never been over 125 in his life. *kitten*. I've told him I often plot his demise while he's asleep. Just. Not. Fair.
-
Really it doesn't matter how often he sees them. Its rude and disrespectful for him to leave his wife birthday or not, on a vacation. And to leave her with their child who's in a "mood"? He's a parent too. As for the birthday that her friend planned, if it was not a big issue he should have said "hey I really didn't know…
-
The truth? You should be pi$$ed at minimum. When he married YOU that made YOU his new family. YOU are now superior to whatever his "blood" is..mom brother dad etc. Yes that's his family he was born and raised in. But he CHOSE YOU. His first priority should have been his family. YOU and your child(Ren). PERIOD. That's not…

No. Nothing left. Just stuck on crumbs.

Simple ....I'll give you my address and you can just send them to me. Or cut out the middle man, you, and tell him to send gifts directly to me.. should I include a wish list?
-
Maybe we should start a group here for klutzy people. MFP Klutzes?? I know it couldn't be me...I'd shut the whole system down or set something off from NASA.. Strange people in black suits and dark glasses would be at my door before I could log off....

Yeahhhh my best friend said I needed a bubble. I've been told to stay in bed. Then they said nevermind to stay on the floor but DO NOT try to stand up. My mom said I was getting bubble wrap for Christmas. And I get endless teasing from my husband and 3 boys.... The laughing triggers my asthma ..always somethin LOL

HTTP and https is a difference of "s" for secure ...but that's for when you enter credit card info to order stuff. Like extra coins n crap on farmville..make sure its HTTPS... Other than that...take your number OFF your fb account. Make one up. Use 555-555-5555...your family or friends can inbox and ask u if they need it.…

Wow! I must be watching a totally different show. Willie is playing too hard too fast and making a deal with any person who breaths his direction. (Frank is safe, wont go on the block. Where did he go? Makes him a liar too) All the coaches, first shouldn't be there. They had their turn. Second are scheming to align with…

Can't wait for football to get going. And yeah, I'm an awesome mom! I take my hub and 3 boys to Hooters for Superbowl Sunday. They love me. Or Hooters. I'm not absolutely sure.... ;)

Maybe my mil is related to your mom. She tried to control my house. Example ...she told me once if I didn't clean my whole house every day it would be a pigsty. That if I didn't stay fit and trim my husband would leave me. And if I didn't feed my kids they would be taken away. Now I clean weekly, spot clean daily. I was a…
-
Wow...never thought of it that way. My mother, I just always called her hateful. Then there's the mil. She's so bad I nor her own kids(2 of 3) haven't spoken to her in 2 years and not seen her in 5+ years. We all refer to her as Satan. Yeah, its that bad.

My mom does this at home! Her answering machine changes by the hour! "Hi! We stepped out to Walmart then to the bank. We'll be home about 4 leave a message or call back!" :noway: WHAT!! so now I know no one is home, where you'll be (how far from home) and when you'll be back....UNSAFE! I've tried explaining this to…

If you prefer regular foods by all means go ahead! I was just mentioning what I use. What about steamed veggies? Baked potato with (low-fat) sour cream or just some steamed broccoli? Ohhh chopped low sodium Ham (again, use what you like) in a baked potato is good. Experiment ...you should see what I make for my kids...all…
