pizza is gross anyway

 I'm not a pizza-lover either. 

I don't know what the big deal is about pizza...everyone I know LOVES it (and Chinese food also...blah!).  I have no problem staying away from both. 

I'm sorry that things are so hard for you :(

I liked the suggestions to talk with your counselor and to seek government assistance. Also, have you asked Rhonda if she would consider hiring you as an au pair. This could be a win/win situation for you both. Just work out a deal so you can attend school.

1). Place to live and food.

2). Watching children you obviously really adore.

3). Living in a less stressful environment.

4). and She has a live-in babysitter that she already knows very well, likes and trusts!

5). An opportunity to save your money while living there.

Living on your own is difficult, especially while you are a student (I speak from experience). Roommates, this situation can be tricky. What if your roommate left? Would you be able to keep your place on your own while you looked for another roommate? If this person is a slow-payer, what is your plan--(you also are on the hook for that)? What if she had different guys overnight (strange ones...lol--and this DID happen to me)--you'd find yourself in the same position of looking for a place to live, BUT with the added pressure of defaulting on a lease (maybe ruining your credit).

Please list and weigh all your options very carefully before making a move. Then outline a plan of action--don't just jump into something.

You are in my prayers sweetie.

You can try Morton's Lite Salt which is Potassium Cloride, not Sodium Cloride.

 That's a great way to cut your sodium--just check with your doctor first, especially if you have any kidney problems.

I know...you really can eat while you study (and thank GOD, because while in school, it's hard to find time to do the things you're supposed to do for yourself).

I would LOVE to see cross-stitch and embroidered blocks!!!

Please PM me anyone who wants to do this (I think it could be fun!).  Also, it will be gratifying to have a warm, soft quilt to reward yourself with for working so hard. 

God Bless You All!

I have the same problem. I once ate 400g of cashews followed by 200g brazil nuts! The truth is, I think that everyone who likes nuts finds it hard to stop noshing (after all, what harm can just one more little nut do?) They're a good source of healthy oils, so it's best not to give them up completely. I recommend buying them in the shell as they take a lot longer to eat and you can't have more than one at a time (I used to eat them like some people eat popcorn - i.e. in handfuls!). Also, like others've said, count out the amount you're going to eat in advance of actually having them.

One day won't make any real difference. Don't stress.

 Yes, count them out first...they are sooooo yummy and addicting, it's tough when there is a huge bowlful in front of you.  

Count me in!

:D

OK all you seamstresses I have a question for you. My sister got married on Christmas eve this past year. Her last name is now Beasley, yes that would be Mrs. Beasly. Some of you might remember the Mrs. Beasley doll if not here she is: http://www.backtobasicstoys.com/images/5915.j pg I am wondering if some one can make me an apron that looks close to this. I would want the full kind rather than just the half size. What would you charge me to do that. I will pay for shipping, and the material and labor. If you can find the material.

Something like this: http://www.whatscooking.info/images/ApronWith Name.gif and if you could put Mrs. Beasly on it that would be cool.

You can PM me if you need more information.

Thanks for your help...

Steve

 PM me.  I can help you!  :D

I just adore sewing. I sew everything, but I truly love (LOVE) quilting. I use the D1, the Elna 945 and a mid-arm quilting machine. Atm, I am making a huge scrap quilt from all my leftovers (and there is a huge pile there)--then from those scraps I will make a large piece of fabric to quilt, then cut to size and bind to make little quilts for Kitty Angels. From the tiny leftover bits of fabric and thread, I make a sheer shawl dripping in Swarvski crystals, then from those leftovers...every spring I put all the teeny-tiny bits of fabric and thread out for the birds and squirrels (and other nest builders). I hate to waste beautiful (and expen$ive) fabrics and threads. So I use every bit.

Has anyone here ever hand-dyed/marbled/painted/loomed/etc their own fabrics to use in projects? I am very interested in designing my own fabrics. I plan to start this when the weather is better here (late Spring).

If anyone is interested in doing a block swap, I posted in the lounge.

I will pray for Chris every night until he returns home safely.

God bless you and help you find him soon.

I have never had a sales person at a retail store insult me- but the guy who sells gym memberships insulted me. I had just had my baby about two months or so before and the manager walked up to me (while I was jogging on the treadmill) and started to harrass me about renewing my memebership. This followed with "you don't look half bad for just having a baby, I mean you definitely still have a good deal to lose though, but I've seen a lot worse".

I didn't re-sign!

Oh, my!!! Hahahahaha, the dork probably thought he was complimenting you!

I'd say, pity him, but really, I'd pity his poor wife. Just imagine what he put (or will put) her through when she has his child!

I just don't understand that kind of attitude from salepeople. I mean really, wouldn't a "WOW! You look GREAT for just having had a baby! You've been working out hard, and it's really paid off!" put you both in a win/win situation? Bet you would have renewed then. Instead he lost a commission.

Just remember, it's much easier to lose weight than it is to grow a brain.
