In response to a conversation elsewhere Bob's Has organic gf oats and non GF organic oats, which is why it always pays to double check the bags. My guys also stopped buying Cheerios after I believe the 3rd time they were caught selling non gf products marked gf.

Wow, that's weird about Cheerios. I have 3 boxes of them at home (got some on sale recently). I don't have the gf issue, but curious -- how did this non-gf information get revealed?

I made some last week the recipe started with 12 bananas...……......…......……...…...

I have been making pumpkin bread at least once a week for the last month.

Do you use similar equivalencies like Figgy -- do you use 12 pumpkins per loaf?

Ha ha! If everyone in the family ate pumpkin bread, I would be in trouble. My kids go through phases of liking something one day and not the next, so I can get away with a loaf every 5 days. Only 1 cup of canned pumpkin per loaf.

Sitting at the barbershop and little kid goes I'm sick. It's like what are you doing here?

Next up is some 50 year old wanting autographs from retired NHL players. Are you a little old for that kind of stuff?

I got mine at the Writer’s Spot when it was still open. I remember being so excited to try it because of the hype. I was disappointed. I think I only could eat half, and that was out of guilt because I made my family wait around for me to get it. We probably also used the dining plan at the time and so I also wasted a snack credit. It was kind of like a whoopie pie (which I don’t like), because the cake is dry.

I've never actually had a whoopie pie. It was on my list of things to try, but we were never hungry, so there are a LOT of things on my list that I never got around to. But yes, that's part of what I didn't like about the carrot cake cookie...really dry, but then you'd bite into a squishy raisin and just.....blech. Now that I think about it, I think E and I only got one and were going to share, and she never ate her half. I think I only took a couple of bites, told her she could have the rest, and she never ate it.

We’re supposed to have heavy downpours this weekend.

Everyone thought our games would be cancelled... then this went out last night-




Should be an interesting two games. We’ve played in light rain, but never what’s being predicted today.

Good luck. Playing in heavy downpours does not sound like fun.

I make whoopie pie all the time.

thanks, and a second kid can’t make it. No subs, at least in the first game. Not sure about second. I don’t know if they’re sick or what.. parents didn’t specify.

I wish the top of T’s hair would still fit in a tiny ponytail, won’t work with his current haircut. I don’t have a good plan to keep it from driving him nuts on his forehead and dripping in eyes. I did send 2 winter hats... not sure if they’ll be more annoying.

I'm so glad it's weekend so we could sleep in. I really don't like row houses. But ours are so bad with the thin walls. Apparently our neighbor has company for the weekend with a small baby who I'm thinking is either colicky or sick, because he/she cried for over an hour and a half straight last night, starting around 2:30 in the morning. It woke me up and I couldn't get back to sleep until after it stopped, after 4:00 am. I was tempted to go ring their doorbell and offer some tips for the poor baby. Sounded like it was a few weeks old...not quite a newborn, but also not much more than a couple of months old. And there were a couple times where the poor baby was shrieking like he/she was being murdered. It wasn't a hungry cry, but a hysterical screech. My daughter used to cry all night until I discovered Happiest Baby on the Block by Harvey Karp and the combination of swaddling, shhhhing, and swaying saved our sanity. Fortunately, our neighbors on both sides are hearing impaired, so I never had anyone banging on the door. But I think if this baby lived next door, I'd have to say something eventually!

Practicing before the game.
T didn’t put on his warm ups!! Ugh.

Hooray, it's supposed to rain again...TODAY. Can't wait.

Didn't you have below average rainfall in September? At least in Phila. the weather forecaster said their area did. She thought the last rain they got was "much needed". Maybe filling the reservoirs and lowering the risk of forest fires is what she meant.

 

[StarWarsGirl]

I feel like we're missing something here.

We're up in Hershey. So far so good on the rain front. Hopefully it stays this way. It definitely scared a lot of people off.

Headin’ out to Sweet Berry Farm...will post pics later...!!!!!!!

 

[SteveBrickNJ]

@93boomer and @MySmallWorldof4 we finally did the FAFSA today. Took a little over an hour

 

[StarWarsGirl]

By the way, if you ride this in the front row while there's a light rain, you will feel like you're being pelted with tiny pebbles.

Well, it was your lucky day!

I think you should find yourself a barber who does housecalls, and that way you can avoid the general public.
