My dad is 83 years old. I just pulled up into their backyard (The driveway goes into the back) and here he is dragging a closet door across the backyard.
I have so many questions.
My friends (a married couple) used Ring to keep tabs on the husband's Dad after the mom died. Kind of creepy, but I guess he okayed it. Anyhow the weird stuff they caught him doing, they just shook their heads as he was of sound mind and an adult. Maybe in their 80s, but not feeling it yet.
tacokick, would you mind sharing your recipe? I'm wondering if there is a big taste difference. I can flip you the one I use if you are interested in seeing it.
Oh, I'll have to look through my David Lebovitz books. I've been a fan of his blog forever. It's hard to go wrong with cream cheese and chocolate...
I’m pretty sure it’s in his Great Book of Chocolate. I think his recipe could use a little more chocolate in the batter and you should always use the mini chips!
circa1978, good luck, I hope you get good news soon!
My Hs coworkers must either think I don’t allow H to have any money or they think he’s super stingy. His CWs go out to lunch a lot and today one of his coworkers said they were going to lunch with a client. H was mad and said he couldn’t go because he has no money (they don’t reimburse for client meetings-they have to pay their own way). H is terrible with money. If he has cash, he will spend every last cent and never plans ahead. We each get a certain $ amount for fun money and I refuse to change it because instead of spending $200, H will spend everything that’s in the account and never think twice about it. He already thinks the amount we get is way too low, yet won’t give up having all the other extras to get more so he can jump in a lake.
I started using Lume deodorant (I use the cream) and I have been so impressed. 10 days in the Tennessee heat and humidity and I didn’t smell at all. Next up is testing it for a week in Arizona.
West coast too .. Miss R's daycare lady would make them for the kids' birthdays on request and for any bake sale (school, church).
Interesting. Native Californian here and I’ve never heard the term.
quasi native ... I was born in CA but raised in the Midwest and Mid Atlantic regions. Her daycare lady was also a native Californian but I suspect she had midwestern relatives.

Interesting. I think I am in need of new deodorant, I swear mine isn't working and I get paranoid about smelling. Those commercials annoy the f out of me but if the product is good, I'd consider. What is the price range if you don't mind my asking?

The running joke in my family is that Bravo needs to drop the Kardashians and head over to my parents house because "Keeping up with the xyz's" would be an international hit.
Between both my parents, us kids and the grandkids popping in and out all the time - the antics here are never ending.
Less than 24 hours before DS leaves for a 3 week super expensive scuba camp and he looks at me says "oh by the way my eyes and throat hurt". This better be allergies kid.
Wow!! Where is the SCUBA camp? Is he already certified? I'm so intrigued!
They have various programs depending on age and interest and if the kid is already certified. DS got his certification a few years ago, it's hard to remember exactly when lol but I am pretty sure it was pre-pandemic. We are not certified so it's been challenging to find opportunities for him to use his skills. My BIL did take him on one trip to Cancun December 2021 but he hasn't done anything since. With this camp he'll have about 14-18 dives and learn some things about sailing as well. His trip is based on the British Virgin Islands. I am just a a little jealous lol. www.actionquest.com/upcoming-adventure-camps/
If he ends up being truly sick, sick I will be so sad.
It's half devils food cake mix and half of a cream cheese mixture topped with chocolate chips. They are so easy to make and so good.
This is my family’s big baking tradition at the holidays. Minis only though (I have a pan that bakes 4 dozen at once!) and I’ve never heard of using cake mix.
I think it’s a mid-Atlantic thing because I never see them anywhere else and anyone from elsewhere never knows what they are.
I love black bottoms, especially the minis. They get me into trouble because you can just pop them into your mouth lol.
idk who needs to know this but Athleta is having a hell of a sale and you can use code SHOPFIRST for an additional 30% off. I just stocked up on Bombas and Feetures socks which are normally quite pricey. I should be good for a while!
Thanks for this! Turned out I have $20 in rewards so I got 2 leggings and a workout bra for $90! 2% back from Rakuten too.

My family long ago agreed to never count or keep track of the “family” batch lol
I just spent $290 upgrading myself to First Class for my Napa birthday trip. I'm hyperventilating a little bit, but I hadn't done anything special since my promotion/raise and I also used $300 worth of my work thank you points to pay for some of the house we're staying in so that didn't come out of the household budget. I always feel so guilty splurging on myself so I'm trying to stop justifying, but it's hard!

It is a little pricey, but you really don’t need a lot. I like the cream better than the stick, the stick seemed to leave white marks on my clothes.
DS just got back from the pediatrician and he grew 6 inches this year. He was 5'1 at 11 and is 5'7 at 12. He's..not going to keep this up, right? Am I going to have a 6'1 13YO?

WOW! My bones are having a sympathy ache reading that. That’s amazing!

DD1 (also 12) went today for her well check and grew five inches last year and is already taller than me by two inches. We’re also wondering just how far this will go!

Ha! We should connect them! I know DS is feeling very weird about being taller than just about everyone he knows.
ETA: I am 5'4 so yeah, he now bends down to hug me. 😭
circa1978 wow, that's a big jump! My 11 year old is only 4'6" and would absolutely love to grow that much next year (but won't). In your DS's case, I bet it's just a one-time thing.
My air conditioner is crapping out so I think I'm making a trip to Lowe's this evening.
I got a email from DD's camp that tomorrow is pick up day. I thought it was Saturday!! Friday at 10 a.m. pickup just seems totally inconsiderate to all the parents (probably over half) that have to travel from out of state to get their kids. Gah.

Yep! She’s 5’6”, apparently that is 98% for 12 yo girls. She seems to have other tall friends, but I think most are closer to thirteen? I am 5’4” and she also bends down to hug me or will sometimes like, rest her chin or pat me on the shoulder. It’s disconcerting! Lol.
I just applied for two para positions at my DS' elementary school! I haven't worked full time since 2016 so it will be an adjustment but one I am ready for. I'm feeling so exited and nervous and I don't even have an interview.

This happened to my son in 2019. He is now a 6’3” 16 year old.
Did your boys always trend on the upper percentiles for height? Our DS is only 8 but is 4'8" and 99th percentile for height and weight...he's always been the biggest kid in his class (and the youngest). He would eat everything in sight if we let him soooo....do I need to get a second job? How many hot pockets can one kid eat at a time?

I just dropped $300 on Monster Jam tickets for next month. 🫠. H is pissed, but DS is obsessed and they've never come to Savannah, which is a stones throw away from my house.
