Ours too. Who buys that junk?

My Mom and my MIL.

My Mom has that Hilary looking going. My MIL is more that silk screen cross stitch or embellished actually overly embellished shirt thing. And don't forget everything is more stylish with large shiny gold buttons!

 

[Gabe1]

No stones. Thank goodness.

Oh thank goodness! *happy dance*

Get ready for more...

What do you call a fish with no eye?

Fsh.

What did one shark say to the other shark while they were eating a stand up comedian?

I didn't know bread could last a whole week. How does that happen?

Everyone outgrows the upward growing cycle. Then subsequently tries hard not to fall into the East West growth cycle.

 

[Gabe1]

Great advice!


I love the sour dough from Panera.

I don't wear them as pants either. They are for under dresses or long tunics. I do have a pair of denim ones, but also only wear them with something that covers at least half my thigh. I cannot stand the LuLa Roe craze going on. I bought a pair from an acquaintance who had just started selling them and I thought I would help her out. First off $25 for a pair of leggings that felt like they would rip in about a minute. Ridiculous. Hate the material. I will stick to my well made kid sized leggings that cost less when on sale and last long enough to give as hand me downs.

I absolutely love LuLa Roe's leggings. The material to me is beyond soft and comfy. I on the other hand do not like their weird selling practices and very deliberate shortages to their sales contractors. It is annoying and a put off to me to encourage all that. My DD has many of the Disney ones. We've yet to have a problem with any of them. Most about $25.

If I am remembering correctly in the last year there was a manufacturing issue with some of them and Lu wouldn't take the defective ones back. The only way to return was if the Sales rep took them back but then they were not being reimbursed or so the story went or was rumored. They have very strange marketing....like waiting lists for their black leggings their most popular. It is IMO pure marketing 'cause if they can't supply what everyone wants most and can manufacture all the other multi color ones....it forces you to comply with the sellers tactics. Buy the dress and qualify to buy the black leggings. So I don't. Most of my DD are little kid sizes so they are cheaper and not coveted. Most of my leggings are from Penny's kids department, their larger size department. I'm short so it works. Average $5-7 about what I pay for tights. And that is what I wear leggings as.

 

[Gabe1]

I'm in for fun throw pillows and window coverings.

I must have at least a dozen whimsical throw pillows. Makes me smile.

I make all my own window treatments 'cause the ones from the store are boring and cheaply made.

 

[Gabe1]

The problem I have with tops is the shoulders. Just wide enough to be a bit of a squeeze depending on the cut.

Me it is the sleeve length.

I have luck with many of the sleeveless summer tops in the kid department.

 

[Gabe1]

Not sleeping. The storms are horrible from afternoon on and we are still getting hammered. The ground needs it but it is coming down so intensely it is doing flash floods and running into sewers. Oy. Everything around here was so dry but this is nutso.

 

[Gabe1]

Or she already has the perfect mom skills to be an awesome one!

Yeah, maybe... @StarWarsGirl has shared her feelings about kids over the years...not everyone goal or purpose. Me I wouldn't trade mine for the world but Motherhood isn't for everyone and I respect those who know themselves well enough to say not for me. Too many out there that should have taken another path. I have a couple of friends that have been married a long time but opted not to have kids. They have fur babies.

$800.00 That phone had better be able to wash the dishes, drive me to the store, make the bed, vacuum the carpets and cook dinner. No phone is worth that much money. None! And that's with a trade in? Gasp! That to me is the equivalent of someone selling one the Brooklyn Bridge.

Yeah. iPhones are pricey aren't they??? But I had cheaper ones and I do greatly favor apple products. In fairness to myself I did without a chunk of indulgences when my kids were in college and yes it will be a Splurge when I finally bite the bullet again. But I got almost 4 years out of this current iPhone that I purchased outright. So if I pamper myself with a $200 per year splurge for something that I really enjoy I won't beat myself up about it. And no I own the phone so there isn't a trade in.

 

[Gabe1]

I loved Petite Sophisticates, cute clothes, nice large size range, decent prices although the pants ran a bit short at times.

Most of my business attire came from Casual Corner Petites back in the day. It was nice to find dresses, skirts and slacks that actually hit where they should. Ultimately I found Nordstrom's that altered for free. I avoid stores that alter men's clothing for free but charge for women's.

 

[Gabe1]

You don't need to tell me about it i swear the only small sizes they seem to get in are in juniors and not even much of those and juniors cuts

See that is my problem. I maybe on the shorter end of the scale but I'm the Mom of two adult children. Me walking around in Juniors clothing at my age for me is inappropriate. I really don't want to pretend to relive my teens an 20's. More a goal to age gracefully.

Hubby passed a very large stone. That tore up his ureter ect. He is on pain medication, and nausea pills. He hasn't eaten much for a couple days. I know he doesn't feel well.......I'm stressed and eating for him....

OH yuck! Poor guy! What does that mean for the cruise?

 

[Songbird76]

Another wicked pun to share!!!

What is tired no matter what time it is?


A car!

 

[Figgy1]

No stones. Thank goodness.

 

[King Racoon 77]

Yep, "the sport where you use, mostly, your feet" , can be boring to watch at times, but, I sure enjoyed playing it for many years...!!!

/Do they not have a walking football league near you ?

Well...the school district is refusing to let us apply for special education for DS. They don't think he needs it, even though his psychological team thinks it's best for him and agrees we don't have time to mess around and possibly repeat what he has already been through. We need to get him in the right place NOW, and the district doesn't agree. We may end up having to move. I don't know. But how they think they know more about his needs than his parents, teachers, and psychologists put together, I don't know. We'll fight it. We'll sue the pants off them if that's what it takes. They did not provide a safe environment as required by law and we're not going to go through it again.
