We do a potluck-style meal for 40ish people, so we will end up with some weird shit, I'm sure. I'm doing ham, roasted potatoes, asparagus, deviled eggs, and drinks. A few people are bringing salads, a few more are bringing side dishes. It usually ends up being good but it's a random assortment.

I don't drink a ton, I go through phases. The last time I was DRUNK was NYE 2014/2015. I've been buzzed several times since then, but that was the last time I was hangover-drunk.

It's been a nice day so far. I have been super antsy to get out of the house because I've had all of these health issues since January. A brewery opened across the street from my house, so we went over to check it out and sample their beer. I'm not a beer drinker, but it was super good! Super cute little brewery. Tonight I am going to a wine tasting MLM party, lol. It's not something I would normally go to, but like I said I just need to get out of the house and around other adults. It should be a good time. In summation, it has been an alcohol-filled day thus far.

My dream is to open a creative arts cafe that is geared towards kids/parents. Something similar to Moomah in NYC (which I think closed down)with different classes like arts, cooking, yoga, etc. for both kids and parents. It would be a fun place for homeschoolers and parents with young kids to hang out during the day. Mom's night out classes/events at night, too. I've already scoped out my perfect location and everything, lol.

I would stay in SD and agree with all of the places everyone has recommended so far! Definitely stay out of the deserts in September, we are still baking away at 110+ degrees then.

C is turning 12 in a few weeks and I'm so not ready for this! She only seems to be interested in fictional character boys at this point, but her friends are starting to have crushes and boyfriends. Gah!

I answered "other". I don't really drink milk, but I usually use almond/coconut milk in smoothies, cereal, etc. If I have milk and cookies I use cow's milk, lol. C is lactose intolerant so she drinks lactaid or almond milk. H and the little girls drink cow's milk.

I feel you. 3 kids is bananas. My sil is pg w number 5 and I can't even wrap my head around it. Our schedule is insane 24/7 and I feel like we live in the car some weeks.
We live in CA but h works in az and it gets very confusing sometimes
I went to a wedding right on the time zone line once. My phone kept changing times depending on which cell tower it was hitting. I have never been more confused about what time it was in my life.
LOL we live on the border of ca, az, and mexico. Our phones change time zones willy-nilly and roam to mexico all the time. Super annoying.
I miss Arizona where they don't change. And when I first moved to Indiana, we didn't change there either (but that law was changed while I as there and they left it up to the county which makes it even more stupid).
And I live in AZ and I do love not having to worry about this nonsense, but we do have to remember when everyone else changes, and sometimes I can't remember if they are adding or subtracting an hour.....

I'm sorry, Scotty. I read the op but I tend to stay out of marriage posts because I feel like I have no room to give advice since I'm basically in the same boat, but I feel you. I think you're a great person and you deserve to be happy. Big hugs, lady.

I feel like faxing is easier than scanning and emailing...it takes less time! My parents own their own business and still fax, use a typewriter, and have paper files. My stepdad JUST got his first laptop and thinks he is the bees knees when he emails someone. I get about 5 phone calls per week to come down to the office to teach him thrilling things like setting up a group email or attaching a file to an email.

I don't think the ablation would do anything for long...I'm not a Dr or anything but I do have pretty severe endo. Even a hysterectomy sometimes doesn't take care of everything. I'm done having kids and am starting to talk with my doc about when to have a hysterectomy. I would go that route.

Super weird but I have to have my toes separated before I can fall asleep. I kind of spread them on the bed so that they aren't touching. Once I'm asleep it's fine if they touch, but I have to do it to fall asleep. Also, I can't cover my feet even if I'm freezing. I have to have a fan on, even in winter. I have to arrange my "things" around me in a certain order, phone, remote, water, books, etc. Now would be a good time to mention that I have ocd as well. Lol.

Lately I've been having wheat crackers with goat cheese. I usually want something savory. If I want sweet I will chop up some nuts, a banana, and coconut flakes and pour coconut milk over it and eat it like cereal.
Oh my heavens they're soooooo tiny. I keep looking at my own hand and imagining the size of those kittens. I'm so glad you found someone to take them. Did the mom ever show up? (I skipped ahead.)
I briefly saw her after they were born, she looked rough. I haven't seen her since. I have a trap and I have the info for the local trap and release program so I'm hoping she's ok and I can get her fixed soon.
