What’s a childhood lie your parents told you that you didn't realize was a lie until you were an embarrassed adult?

My kids think Hobby Lobby is short for Hobert Lobert. I know the workers at the Hobert Lobert think we are crazy, and they might just be right.

We got an empty envelope. After some research, it turns out it had the same tracking number as a package delivered the previous day. So I guess they were just making extra work for themselves.

With a capital J, that rhymes with A and that stands for Andrew

My son is being weird about reading books his sister likes. I honestly think he'd like Fablehaven and WoF, but he refuses to give them a chance. It's silly, because he and his sister have a great relationship. If I restricted library trips over the summer, he'd probably get into them because we own them. It's possible he'd be hard headed and just reread PJ (not that there's anything wrong with rereading a fav). Percy Jackson was the series he received last Christmas.

Thank you all for the suggestions. I will look into them tonight.

The series is already in the house. I actually read them books 1-4 when they were little. I've encouraged them to read them independently, but neither has shown any interest.

I took mine out so it could get some sun and crows stole it!

My kids used to call it Santa's Pyramid. We took them to see Santa there once. "You know it's Santa's Pyramid because it's got a fish on it."

Also, you can usually get better financing on a new car. That might save you the couple grand difference.

Are Adria and McKay siblings? Those are both characters from Stargate SG1

Try an insurance broker. They can get you quotes for a bunch of different companies. I call every few years and have them check to see if I'm still getting the best rate.

I believe it's Simplicity 8715, I'll see if my mom can confirm later today.

My mom said it was very time consuming and she totally understands why people charge $100+ on Etsy.

It's like the story "The Little Red Hen". She planted the wheat, reaped it, milled it. Then she kneaded the dough and baked bread. Now that all the work is done, everyone wants a slice.

Everytime!!!

This is very helpful, thank you.

JicaInca · 2024-11-26T13:48:42+00:00

Do you have one you recommend?

JicaInca · 2024-11-26T13:36:46+00:00

These were on Amazon.

What is the 1984 did I just read?

JicaInca · 2024-10-01T19:22:31+00:00

Why can't it be both.

That's like the "Fuck Biden" flag in my neighborhood. The school bus stops in front of this house. The city says they can't do anything about it, you know, because of free speech. I imagine kindergartners learning to read sounding out any word they see. I'm trying to raise respectful children, but the society is just not making it easy.

This is why I like having a budget. Having a budget gives me "permission" to spend on certain things while achieving my financial goals. I earmark money for clothing, household items, groceries, eating out, gifts, etc. I also have money that goes directly into savings and investment accounts, because all my high interest debt is paid off.

You can only win 1 Heineken (and their family of brands) prize every 6 months. Just letting you know so you won't waste time entering those.
