I think they were far more concerned about their wives taking matters into their own hands along with a sharp instrument.

^^^^^
This!

Yikes! I hope it's just scoping. Prayers and pixie dust for both of you. xoxo

Thanks, Figgy!
Playing ketchup, yet again. Sorry for the week-late answer...

Yes, scoping. Torn meniscus in two places in her right knee. Two incisions.
She's recovering nicely!
Thanks again...!

Speaking of testosterone...I am now using Hershey as a bribe to keep my brother in check. I popped into his room (the door was open) and said hello, and he told me to shut up. I asked him to repeat himself, and he said it again. Boy, he had some guts. I told him he was never to speak to me that way again and if he did, he would not be going to Hershey on Sunday; that I would give the ticket to one of my friends and leave him at our aunt's (our parents will be at the Ravens game). He didn't like that.

Of course, I have no intention of following through on any of this. His name is on the ticket, so there's that. But I'm keeping the incentive there.

See....this is kinda why I believe you might not ever have children. You've already been Mom the 2.0 version.

9 lb 4 oz???? Goodness! Just saying that cause my kids ranged from just over 6lbs to just over 8lbs.
.

Ouch right? My DS was 9.0# at birth and the largest freak'n head in the nursery...the nurses made me aware of that multiple times.
That boy caused me 5 days in the hospital-not a Csection either and was only released cause I said I was going home. Sooo many reasons my kids are 5 years apart. My DD was nicer to me. 7.5# and a normal sized head. But because she had her days and nights mixed up I had for 2 months one or the other always awake. It was ONLY 2 months without sleep but I never got past that. Her 2 month trip to WDW cured the night and day thing. Best $3000 I ever spent. But not getting past that certainly nixed the idea of a third. Amen.

Haven't heard back as of yet as to whether or not it was a kidney stone.

They say, however, that if you have a kidney stone, riding rollercoasters can help you to pass it.

So I'm going to Hershey Park on Sunday.

Aww. We are going next Saturday. BTMR is the best coaster for stones.

Except thanks to Fandango's stupid website, I ended up with six tickets. I only needed three.

Well, either I'll return the three unused (Fandango lets you do that) or me and a bunch of friends are going to see Star Wars.

We have a lot of gnats in our house. Got rid of the over ripe bananas, but that didn't get rid of all the gnats. I guess they might be fruit flies. Although my tenant, and my grandson both claim they have a lot of gnats too. Never had this problem. At least the ants are gone.

Buy a bottle of cheap wine. In juice glasses pour about an inch in each glass, a couple per room where they are hanging out. They will move say from the kitchen to bathroom or laundry areas or around a basement sewer drain. I had a real problem with them one year and it took me a long time to realize it was my tomatoes from either the farmers market or yard. Little by little they get drunk, fall in and drown. The sweet smell of wine draws them to the wine so I recommend a sweeter wine. If you have a Trader Joes or Aldi both have dirt cheap wine, good for killing bugs.

Ants peppermint extract (Walmart has the largest bottle for the cheapest price in baking area) will make them all go away (mice too) put some in a tiny spray bottle. Then to keep them out cabinets and drawers place a few sticks of Wrigley's Spearmint or Double-mint gum inside. They vacate. In spring planting mint around the house keeps the ants away too. Upside is it smells pretty and won't hurt anyone. Ants were marching in my kids kitchen from a window 2nd floor! I poured the extract on the concrete sill outside and inside the window and ants stopped their march in like an hour.

Hope the surgery goes well for DWifey. When she comes home later on today, I think she should have a big bowl of ice cream--helps heal the body after surgery.

Thanks, Minnie!

She puked in the recovery room , and it took 'til early afternoon for the anesthetic to wear off and for her to completely catch her snap.
No ice cream, unfortunately, but she did enjoy some Saltines and veggie soup for dinner.

I always wonder how many people have issues like this.
I never had issues in the past 3 fridges we've owned.

Could it be temp related? or model related?

I believe all refrigerators sold now at least in the states are Frost Free. When frost does happen they are pretty much a goner.

Wanna save more time? Here you go!

I am a sucker for bakery bread. Today I bought an extra large loaf, it is wider than the regular and great for sandwiches. I had it sliced thick which I love for my Sammies. It did cost me $4.50 but will last the week. Today I picked SourDough. I love their Asiago and Country too. Not into the whole grain breads. Me, the one that loves to cook meals 5 days a week can't bring myself to spend time making bread, though I have in the past, it is yummy. Time vs to save the $4.50.

Curious--don't you still get some commercials though?

On Netflix and Hulu we don't have commercials. Nice.

 

[Gabe1]

Happy farm market Monday, not that I need much of anything but I'm not one to pass on going out on an extra day when all the guys are home

So what did they wind up chopping, slicing and dicing for you today

 

[Gabe1]

Ha! I just had a thought about Jack running amuck in that place!!

I would welcome Jack. He is his own Spirit.

Yes she should definitely get a replacement--for the money that they charge for those things, absolutely. Plus they should throw in a dinner coupon for her inconvenience!

I need a new iPhone. I was a long hold out. Funny when you have to deal with college tuition what you do without. Me, Disney vacations, cars and phones for a while. Priorities. I got my first iPhone only after my 2nd graduated college. 3 days after she graduated, lol, she graduated early and it was Christmas afterall. Ouch the cost. 4 years later it is time. I still have the ping of $800 to buy it out for the new version. I'm not there yet.
