We used to eat at 5:30, but work started stretching a bit later for my husband so now we eat around 6:00.

Like my in-laws. :laugh: One man's cop-out is another man's bonanza - the key (like TheMajeye mentioned) is knowing your recipient.

First part of the break is relaxing at home, then after Christmas we go visit family for New Year's.

Well hi there!! :biggrin:

Hi Raynor - congrats on your certification!

Three words: crock. pot. liners. Best inventions ever. :D And this looks fabulous - going on the menu to try this week!! Is that 1/2 cup soy sauce?

I think the 99% probably are different, as a function of division - an E-rated game versus an M-rated game. With Minecraft, I think there's more of a reasonable expectation to keep the language kid-friendly (as opposed to a game with built-in swearing), and folks there tend to respond more like...

I came here largely on the strength of the no-swearing rule. It was also the main reason I signed the COPPA for my kids to play here. Minecraft isn't usually Swear Central, and I'm not anticipating it will become so, but EGO is on probation at our house now. Swearing is "part of life", but so...

I usually wear hard contacts - whenever I try to wear my glasses for any length of time, my prescription gets worse. Same with soft contacts. My eye doctor likes to mock me because I'm almost the only patient he has left still wearing hard contacts. :laugh:

I log most of my time in the mornings/early afternoons while the kids are at school.

Ooooh, I love to cook! Subscribing.... And that looks like carnitas - is it carnitas? :w00t:

I like to cook and try/make up new recipes. I love to read pretty much anything except sappy romances and cereal boxes. I like to sew, I play the piano, and I like puzzles - logic puzzles, crosswords and sudoku-type, jigsaw puzzles, you name it.

Singing lessons. I never took choir in high school or anything like that, so I don't know the first thing about making music with my vocal cords. I'm finally going to learn how to breathe properly and all that stuff. :) There's all kinds of stuff like Cauldron Cakes and Knickerbocker Glory and...

I got a Harry Potter cookbook - excited to try some of these recipes out! :D And I also got something I have been wanting (but not brave enough to get) for most of my life: voice lessons. We'll see how those go. ;)
