I like jasmine, basmati, plain I like riceI really like that I can now find them all in brown rice
They come in quite handy for larger batches of food. I like to freeze some food for a lazy day here or there and I always have something healthy on hand for to my dh to bring for lunch.Did you say Twelve-quart stock pots???? Yikes. You must be cooking for the entire neighborhood!! I have a 1-quart pan.
It's really cute, easy and cheap to make. It uses a button down shirt for the top, 2yds of fabric for the bottom, ribbon for the belt and has an embroidered Minnie coming out of the shirt pocket. The perfect dress for Disney bounding, I'd wear it any where LOL BTW looks like it would take under 2 hours to put together including embroidery time.Minnie project?!!
meaning I have the whole sidewalk to myself

On my iPod, there's 50 selfies, the first of which was taken in 2012. Obviously, I'm not a fan of the selfie, although back in middle school, I used my point and shoot to take selfies before selfie was a word. But that was middle school, when every person loses their mind for three years and some actually get it back eventually.
I've never taken a selfie. Then again I live in a cave and paint pictures on the walls. I didn't even have a smart phone until last year.Or pictures of cats.

That's very sweet to say. Thank you. I wasted a lot of years being angry with him about things when he just didn't know any better. I could lose him at any moment and I'm so far away...sometimes I feel guilty that I'm not there to look out for him and help him. The LEAST I can do is not pick fights.You are a very good daughter.
I said some actually get it back. I agree, many do not.
My dad was one of 3 and he was kind of an oops. His older siblings were both more than 10 years older then him and his parents didn't get along at all. They were planning on getting divorced when his mom realized she was pregnant. So they stayed together, but they didn't talk to each other at all...if they needed to talk, they sent my dad with a message. "Go ask your dad what he wants for dinner." "Go tell your mother that so and so is coming over at lunch." And his brother joined the military and was in...France I think? during WWII, and his sister became a nurse and was somewhere in a military hospital from what I understand. So my dad was younger and was the only one there to help my grandfather with the ranch. I don't think he got much of a childhood and he didn't have much of an example of what a family should look like. There's a whole history there that just kind of messed up that whole side of the family. So I can't really blame my dad for all that. He was just raised in a toxic environment.My pop will be 83 on Jan. 1st, and is quite a bit different.
Both my folks were raised on farms in south-central Texas, so they still cling to some older fashioned ways, but, they've also learned to roll with the times to a large degree, due to love, compassion, and understanding.
I have 3 younger siblings - 2 brothers, one 18 mo. younger than myself and the other 5 yrs. younger, and a 12 yr. younger sis.
All 3 of us boys never completed 4 years of college and my folks paid for all 4 years for our sis to get a degree.
I just never felt college was right for me, at the time.
Both brothers started, but, never finished.
Sis finished with a degree in fashion merchandising.
Funny thing is, we're all successful - in different ways...
I'm a designer for an architectural firm, next youngest bro and his wife own a medical supply company, youngest bro is an IT guy for the state, and sis is a stay-at-home mom.
I think it depends on the kid. Some kids thrive in that structured environment and some do better with more loose programs. My son needs the structure, like I did as a kid. My daughter is kind of a mix...she needs it to be disciplined and quiet to concentrate, but she doesn't need such a strict routine like my son does. DS panics if he's given too much leeway. He gets overwhelmed and needs that structure so he can see the process and what he's supposed to be doing. Kindergarten was very hard for him because there was too much room to choose what to do and he would end up having meltdowns because he didn't know what to do. Like...the teacher would say "Ok, it's time to do such and such, so put your work away and get your chair and come get in a circle" and DS would panic because he didn't know what to do first. He'd just stand there with the deer in headlights look and start crying because all the other kids were already getting in the circle and he still had his work out, etc. So the teacher had to give him more instructions. He just NEEDS that. And the stuff outside the classroom, like recess, PE, etc. are the moments when he's most likely to have a meltdown. I know, he's definitely in the minority that way, but I think there's a place for the structured environment, too.
Definitely nothing wrong with it if that's what you want to do. I just figure it's a waste of my time if my kid is asleep...they can't even enjoy it then. But if that's what someone else wants to do, go for it!
