Can you tell I have had the kids on Spring break this week and it seems to

Hey Guys,
I'm having the best day!!!  I whine and moan and worry so much about Charles
and all the therapy and the phone calls and people coming in and out of my
house.  Today certainly made up for all of that.

When we moved here there was one whole child DS' age in the neighborhood, a
boy 9 months older than DS.  They hit it off and have enjoyed many hours of
play, often out of direct adult supervision.  There have been nearly no
reported problems, reported either by them or by neighbors, ...

When I was a teenager, my parents had unreasonable rules about me

I was hit about 2-3 weeks ago on our road.  There were a bunch of 4-wheelers
coming and my best guess was that the one in front stopped and the guy

Just come back from the vets. I was at a colleauges house helping write
an election leaflet when I heard a screech of brakes coming from the

Sorry I'm a bit slow on the uptake today!
Hope it's a good one!

OK - put your thinking caps on.  We need an efficient way to store bikes in
the garage - what do you all use?  We've got two kid bikes and will be

Chewy was approached Saturday about us providing a major amount of
pastured poultry on a regular basis.  We need funding to get everything

I am not sure exactly why but this article has me outraged and thought it
would make for interesting discussion here.  NOTE: Termination/abortion
mentioned.

one of those awful terrible brag moments but it made me so happy.
I took Katherine to the Easter vigil tonight and my friend took her
daughter too. Its the first time they've been and for us its very
special, starting with a bonfire and candles, then for kids it gets a

   We bought a house just yesterday. I am going to get it renovated,
and turn it into a bed and breakfast. I was thinking bakery/coffeeshop,
but, that would take many more thousands of dollars that I doubt I'd be
