Sweaters that are knitted can unravel if you cut the seams. So you have to be careful. Look for waist shaping, also tailoring. There are a few extra steps when it is a sweater you are working on - so make sure the directions are for a sweater.

Doesn't it depend upon how high your medical bills get? If you don't meet the OOP limit, then a lower deductible would be better so you don't end up paying so much the entire year. But, if you consistently meet your OOP expenses, then the high deductible just means you meet the OOP sooner.

When he is chewing on something that he is not supposed to, do you do something negative? Such as a mild bop on the nose or rump? (not saying beat him, just something to startle him, like a roll of newspaper that makes a loud noise when bopping him.)He obviously does not get the idea that some things are not for him and what you are doing is not working. As long as he gets lots of positive attention at other times, it should not turn him mean if you give negative when he is doing something wrong.

Since this is something you both discussed previously, I don't think he is grumpy because you spoiled a surprise. How can it be a surprise if you have already discussed it? He might be grumpy because he was feeling pushed and then could not do anything right to please you.
I've learned that men have a relaxed idea of time and deadlines in a lot of things. My husband waits to the last minute to get my presents and then finds that he cannot get what I want cause it is all sold out. The other day he was so surprised that I did not want to hand around half the day waiting on him to be ready to go grocery shopping. I wanted to go and get it done and then have time to do some sewing. (We grocery shop together on his insistence cause he does not like me going on my own.)

I do not like beer or wine, and the hard stuff has to be mixed with a coke before I take it. Coffee is terrible! Smells good, but tastes like dirt to me. The worst part about my likes and dislikes - I'm a snob when it comes to certain things - candles, shower gel, sewing machines, computers. I'll gladly do without if I can't get the best.

So my experience is different. I don't use mine hardly at all. Mostly I use it as a postage scale. The only other time I use it is when I am making soap. So it is kept in the office and if I have a need for it, I know where it is at and go get it. I've been baking for 60 years, since I was ten and really have never had a need for scales. None of my recipes use weight so I don't worry about it.

So that is why my phone keeps asking me to turn on bluetooth. I don't do it, but it keeps asking. I watched a video on YouTube about how to turn some of those things off on your phone and found it really helps my battery life. It might just benefit me to go back and look up how to keep snoopers out as well.

I hear you. I caved last June and went to purchase a tablet - an iPad is what I was after. But ended up coming home with a MS Surface. Only after working with it for a while, I discovered that the only aps I can put on it are ones you purchase from the Microsoft ap store. Really bummed about that. And I still want an iPad.

Paper bags, pieces of brown craft wrapping paper that has been a little messed up, boxes and pipe cleaners. She has a boatload of other toys but these are her favorites. At 2 years old, the cat is still in kitten stage and everything will be a toy - she will just need time to feel secure and comfortable to play. Being alone for so long each day, be sure there is a window she can sleep in and watch outside while sun bathing.

We have always given this little scamp yogurt, not too much just a spoonful a day. She loves it and since it has no lactose in it, it is safe for her. It is a natural probiotic. Unlike all other cats I have know (quite a few) she has never had any issues with tummy, no hair balls, no litter box issues and her coat is also very healthy.

This would have never been possible when I had my two miscarriages. Both times there was no warning and I was so young (early 20'a) I did not even realize what was happening. In addition, the cost of burial would have meant financial hardship for us in a big way. I wonder what the mortuary businesses think of this.

If it is pink eye, the top of the cheek bone will be tender and along the temple. Apply pressure to those places and see if there is pain there. If so, I would to to a walk in clinic

Sounds like you would be better off going with someone else. It does not give confidence that the ongoing interactions are going to be timely or dealt with in a professional manner at all.

I was 19 and hubby 28 when we got married and I was a very young, naive 19. In February we will have our 50th anniversary. So it worked out just fine!

5 lb smoked breast for five people. We still will have leftovers but not a carcass.

Sitting here after two full days of cooking and prep work and realize it only took 30 minutes table time to make the biggest mess you ever saw. Hubby is still washing dishes and filling the dishwasher an hour later. (I cleaned and put leftovers away until all there was left to do was the dirty dishes.)

We carve a bit of it in the kitchen, enough for everyone to get some then leave the rest whole and cut as needed at the table. But we generally have a lot left over of the turkey and I prefer to not have to slice it all up and bone it on T-Day. I do it the next day.

whoa - some of those recipes are on the menu for tomorrow. I too, as a southerner have never seen dressing made in a bread pan. For one thing, it would not be enough, we would have to make about five "loaves" and for another, dressing is not supposed to be so firm you could slice it.

Also, for me is the slow cooking - bake for 8 min then stir, bake stir bake stir. When you think it is done give it some more time to be sure -

After supper I plan on baking the cornbread and chopping the veggies for the dressing.

I use canned sweet potatoes. Bring them to a boil, drain. Add sugar and dark corn syrup and butter to taste. Use mixer to mash. Add extra ingredients such as pineapple and pecans or not. Pop in the oven with marshmallows on top to brown the marshmallows. These will disappear when you warm them up as leftovers. Ours tend to be sweet and great for dessert when warming up leftover T-Day dishes.

Give her a hug, say you love her and have her back and let it go. Chances are you will never know what happened, but something did and the friendship might be over. This is something that she will learn to handle as she grows older but at 13 it is hard and sad.

I have received numerous meds that need to stay cold. There are shipped in small Styrofoam containers with cold packs - the kind you get to put in your coolers. Then then are taped shut and label put on the outside. Or if you want, they can be put in a box the same size.

Stop the calling, don't talk to the social worker. You are just leaving the door open when you have said you are at a hard no right now. Next text you get, send back a definite no. The situation needs an answer so the social worker can move on to finding a great home for the child. Let the social worker do her job and leave her to it.
I know this sounds cold. But, it is for the best for the child. If you really care what happens to the child, you want what is best. Giving hope where it should not be expected is not best for the child as the mother and social worker might take that as reason to stall and try to give you time to change your mind.
