His father is not in the picture, I don't know anything about him. His mother still calls her 35 yr. old son 'My Billy Boy' She does not believe DD about anything. Her sweet baby boy would NEVER do anything like that! She won't even talk to me. She has been doing all that she can to help him get...
Thank you all for your incouraging words and prayers. I try my hardest to be civil with him, sometimes I fail. I won't be able to see the girls because we live in CA and he lives in OR. When he had them before he would not let me talk to them or our grandson who he has no claim to. Most of the...
Our daughter is being sent back to Afghanistan after coming back here during her deployment to deal with a former boyfriend(father of her two youngest) and a divorce with her husband(kids don't EVER listen!!!)
We have all three kids right now, but a court just ruled that the non- costodial...
Here in central CA, if acorns or pinecones fall quickly/ lots at a time/ early it will be a harsh, wet winter. When I wait for DGD at the busstop, I hear constant pinecones falling. On our ranch and BIL's ranch an hr45min away squirrels hve been stripping the petals off all the pinecones as soon...
I know what you mean, DH falls alseep as soon as his head hits the pillow. I keep catching myself nodding now,but I HAVE to stay awake so I can sleep tonight. DD arrives tomorrow with three more of our grandkids.

DH and I decided to quit new years eve(what a choice!!) 1999. We wanted to start off fresh, so to speak. We got a box of the patches to share. He was working out in the field in construction building commercial buildings. He wore the patch 1/2 a day, it kept coming off from him sweating. I used...
I use waxed paper squares that I buy at sams club to cover food when nuking. They last forever and I use them for so many things. I know, it's just as bad as paper towels, but I reuse them many times also before throwing away.
Reading all these posts make me wish I still had all my old diapers...
Yes that is the most improtant thing, isn't it? Dad suffered 13 yrs with cancer, he hung on the last few days just out of pure stubborness, but was ready to go. Unfortunately no one in my family let me know that he was even in the hospital until he was in ICU with a tube in his throat so we...
So much to say. I have been up since midnight, it is now 8:55am. When I can't sleep and get up and go on line, I don't turn on lights, hoping I can get back to sleep(it doesn't work though) I caught up on reading posts all night, now I am replying to so many.
I have forgotten to put yeast in...
DH gets after me for using too much toothpaste.He uses a tiny dab, I squeeze out a strip the length of my brush. That's how I was taught, what can I say?? I have heard of people cutting the tubes open, that's just too much trouble for me. We buy in bulk at sams club. So we spend $5.00 or...
Boy, sooo much to comment on!!
I buy a huge bootle of dishsoap and fill up a small pump soap bottle that I keep on the sink. I use that for dishes, baths, handwashes. I also have a pump bottle of softsoap next to it.just in case someone wants to have smelly hands.
I don't have much freezer...
I used to use lots of them. Every few years I get tired of wasting paper and money so I cut down. DH used to use several to dry his hands, but I did also sometimes as 1 doesn't always dry them sufficiently. Now he dries his hands on the kitchen towel. We use them for meals to wipe our mouths...
My mom has washed baggies for years. I tried it a few times many years ago. I got soo frusterated as I had no where to dry them decently and they took so long to dry. I do reuse them if not yucky. Dry things, i reuse them until they don't seal any more. I try to reuse them for the same things so...
Pouring boiling water into antholes kills them too! I used to do the weeds in the driveway and sidewalk. On our ranch, by the time I got to the weeds in the gravel surrounding the house, the water would be cold. DH and I just pull them as we walk by.
The car dehyderater idea is great! DH said...
DH and I are well known for using ANY paper for gifts. WE wrapped his nieces wedding present several years ago in july in snowman wrapping paper! I wrapped DGD's birthday presents this year some in Christmas paper, some in wedding paper. We told her she had to wait until Christmas to open the...
When my kids were little we had no money for anything, so other than any I had from my Mom, we only had homemade ornaments on the tree. People loved how it looked with only old and handmade ornaments.
A couple of my favorites that I made were out of walnut shells.
One I glued two halves...
