@Figgy1 , can I borrow your frying pan? Doesn't have to be the big one....a smaller one will do. Stores don't open up until next week, so it's still by appointment only for this week. You can only make an appointment for one person in most cases, and you can bring a child if the child is under 12. So A's shoes seem to be too small...which of course, we bought these at the beginning of the school year, so more than 6 months ago, and he has definitely grown. Next week he has vacation and he is REALLY missing Oma and Opa, who he hasn't seen since September, so we decided to let him go for one day to see them. You can only have one guest per day here, so he's going to go there on Monday and spend the night and we'll pick him up Tuesday. The only problem is that my MIL is notorious for looking for things like holes in the shoes, stains on a shirt, loose threads, etc and then she lectures me about how I could let him walk around like that, and how I should have gotten new ones a long time ago, bla bla bla. Well, we just noticed the toes of his shoes seem like his toe is wearing a hole in them...he didn't say anything about it himself, but we need to get him new ones before he goes to Oma and Opa's on Monday. So I look on the websites for the different shoe stores so I can plan in an appointment, and there's no way to add him to the appointment, so I figure I'll call, explain that he needs to try the shoes on, so he has to come with me, and see if they will let me make an appointment by phone. I'm explaining to my husband and he cuts me off mid-sentence and says "He's 12. Just tell them he's 12." It's so frustrating that he does this all the time. He doesn't let me finish what I was saying and he tells me what to do when I've already got a solution, he just hasn't heard it yet. AND his solution is to lie, which if there's one thing my autistic son won't do, it's lie/break the rules. So that's not a good solution because if we show up and they say "He can't come in with you unless he's 12 or under" A will freak out. He WILL NOT go along with a lie if I tell them he is 12, and if I tell him ahead of time that we have to pretend he's 12, he won't go. He'll worry about getting in trouble if he's caught. So I tell my husband that won't work, he KNOWS that won't work, and that he interrupted me saying I was going to call them and explain the situation. When I tell him it's frustrating for me when he cuts me off, he interrupts me and says "You're right. I'm sorry. You should call." in a really fake tone, like he doesn't really mean it, but he wants me to shut up. And that's how he's told me to handle his mom in the past...."Just pretend to agree with her. Tell her she's right, and then ignore what she says and do what you want anyway." So he interrupted me to tell me insincerely that he's sorry for interrupting me. I don't even think he heard what it was that upset me. He thinks I was upset with him for telling me to lie about A's age. He just doesn't want to talk about it, so he pretends to have changed his mind and he now sees what you mean. But the fact that he interrupted me while I was telling him it was frustrating that he interrupts me, tells me he wasn't really listening, just telling me what I wanted to hear so I wouldn't argue with him. In the grand scheme of things, it's a minor annoyance, so small frying pan is fine.

Ugh. Can you order stuff online there? We started doing that for B because he HATES shops of any kind. We just buy stuff and if it doesn't work, we return it (usually Amazon, sometimes other stores).

@Figgy1 I have a storage question about couscous and quinoa. I store both in the refrigerator. I am cleaning out today and both have best used by dates from 2020. Are they still safe to use??

Hello everyone!
I need guidance!
Tonight I am wishing to start the FAFSA because my daughter's college is already billing us for Fall 2021 semester and they did not apply her scholarships because we did not file her FAFSA for year 2 yet.
As a family returning to the FAFSA for an incoming sophomore, can we just log into the FAFSA website with our 19 year old daughter's FAFSA login credentials?

Sorry. Just saw this now. I filed the FAFSA on October like the previous year. You should do that from now on. Hopefully that helps for third year. And yes you use all the same login stuff.
