Heather's Heavenly Vapes - THE BIG THREAD

[Chakris]

You and RJ are probably right. But this is what worked for me.



God bless Mom and Dad. RIP

That worked for me and my brothers too, except we didn't have a wood shed, we heard the sound of leather slapping through belt loops and knew our time had come. Didn't dare run that just meant more discipline.

 

[Chakris]

LOL - my weekends end up lazy - Friday night I'm full of good intentions and Saturday....


zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....................

damn! I meant to get those doors painted. ......

Sunday......

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....................................

Today I swear I'm not doing anything, nothing at all.

Fixed your quote for ya, Hula.

You would think on Saturday I'd sleep in. But nooo I'm awake earlier than I would be for work. Dang it! Well that just means there will be couch time later.

And a metric assload of elbow grease.

Did I not mention that I bought "my wife" a 1 HP Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer for putting up with me for 10 years?! No elbow grease, unless you count pouring the ingredients into it, work..

She's not used it yet.. but I've been giving it a workout for the last few weeks.

Ofcourse, she's the Pastry Chef..so, I expect at some point she's going to start putting it to good use!

 

[Dusty_D]

Her Mom doesn't cook much, and her Dad runs a restaurant so cooking isn't on his list of fun things to do at home.

And this is why I did not want to become a professional chef... I love cooking too much to make it a job! I tell my friends that all the time, when they ask me why I didn't become a chef.

It's also similar to the answer I give folks who say "Oh! Your wife is a Pastry Chef?! You must get some awesome stuff at home!!". Ummm no! The last thing she wants to do when she gets home, is make more cakes and pastries.. although, there are those days when I walk in and the house smells like a little slice of heaven!

I love being an amateur chef, too. I love cooking, doing it for work might ruin it.

I don't do any baking due to my diet restrictions, but that did look like some tasty bread. Do you know I dream about fresh baked bread all the time. Sourdough, rye, pumpernickel, etc.

Almost forgot - Got vape mail today while Mama Chak was thankfully out. CarbonThief's juices showed up today and they are spectacular! Black Cherry Cavendish is in the kayfun and is so yummy.

Ok I'm to tired to figure out the muilt post thing. So I forgot to reply with quote. hate it when that happens.

to do multi post quotes use the "+, right next to the 'reply with quote'. Then hit the 'reply to thread' and insert your thoughts accordingly..

Hey, no offense meant to those of you with 'only children'. I didn't mean to generalize that they are all demanding/want it NOW.

Stop being so sensitive.. I have a single child too, and while she can be demanding, she also knows that Daddy is the Boss! So, if I don't honour her NOW request, she has no say in the matter..

Oh, oh. Chak is awake. At least he's alive.

And it doesn't sound like he fell off the couch and broke a rib!

Dusty I know exactly how your wife feels , the last thing I wanted to do is cook after a 12-16 hour day in the kitchen . And yes doing it for a living does take the enjoyment out of it to a degree . I would usually go for a burger or something simple after a few beers to unwind .

How's the Blackberry Burley ?

No tea party, I couldn't make the boys sit through that kind of torture. But she will enjoy helping me in the kitchen. Her Mom doesn't cook much, and her Dad runs a restaurant so cooking isn't on his list of fun things to do at home. I do have to mention that she is an only child (demanding, wants it NOW ) so we'll all be ready for her Mom by Monday.

I'm an only child. I don't think I was like that. Gosh, I hope I wasn't!

 

[JayTater]

Omg... The weekend is finally here! I didn't get home from work until 11:00 last night. It was an incredibly rough week.

See, I knew I would get someone.. open mouth insert foot moment.

 

[MostlySunny]

Bridget... I didn't take offense to the only child comment. People are usually surprised that I am one.

Happy Saturday everyone.

I've got a women's gathering tonight filled with hooping, pumpkin carving, storytelling and we're building an ancestral altar. Really looking forward to the time to connect and shed some of the weeks events.

Slept in till 6! Woohoo! Gotta love those silly dogs

It's really easy... I mean, a place like CVS, Walgreens, Walmart,etc... they'll have them in where you buy iTunes or restaurant gift cards. There are a bunch, some have fees, some don't... the only draw back is that many have a small fee to reload it, and some even have a monthly fee to pay. But...a couple of bucks isn't that big a deal... the way I look at it, it's like fraud insurance. If some POS manages to swipe the numbers, all he is going to get is the $1.50 I have sitting there in the account... no credit line or anything like that.

I called my cc company the other day about something else and asked about shop safe but they were going to transfer me and I was busy at the time. I need to call them back and get that started. On the list...but it may as well get in line cause that list is long!

RJ you might be on to something there are too many kids that just don't get any love or attention at home. Give the kid one chance have him over for dinner and game night or a movie just to show him what it can be like...I realize he just might be a rebel but when it comes to kid so like to give them a chance

Yeah, he's the oldest son out of 4 boys, his parents split up and his Mom moved away, and they all lived with the grandpa, parents got back together....just a mess. There are so many kids with less than ideal families...it's sad and I do feel for them because my son is one of them. Although I work really hard to give him a wonderful home and family. I took one of my son's friends under my wing who also lived with his grandparents with a missing Dad and nonexistent Mom and it was exhausting...but I do miss him. My son doesn't have many classes with him and they drifted apart.

Huntsman ...Dark Horse. about the same. That reminds me I have to mow the grass one last time.

Your smilies are something else! Crack me up!

Who wears PJs? Oh wait.

Believe me, it wasn't the every two hour feedings, the extra work of having a baby, or the expense that got to me...it was having to wear clothing to sleep! I'm still not used to it. But alas, I love my lounge pants and tank tops.

Today I swear I'm not doing anything, nothing at all.

I love Bruno Mars!!!

You would think on Saturday I'd sleep in. But nooo I'm awake earlier than I would be for work. Dang it! Well that just means there will be couch time later.

I slept until after 8 and now the roast will take until the evening to get done. My plans are already thrown off...but no worries...it's cooking and we can have dinner after the game instead of before. The biscuits and sausage I just fixed will have to hold my son over...I'm not cooking anything else except roast! It smells wonderful already.

I'm an only child. I don't think I was like that. Gosh, I hope I wasn't!

I was like that and I had two brothers. Just joking....I was a great kid. My son was in daycare from 1 year of age until 11...it humbles them. He's a great kid and if he's spoiled it's entirely my fault.

 

[Chakris]

And it doesn't sound like he fell off the couch and broke a rib!

Yup, alive and kicking with all ribs intact. Mama Chak even insisted I call my friends and invite them over for another BBQ before school starts up again.

 

[Iowa Gal]

RJ from what I can tell you son is in a perfect family...all they need is love and a little discipline. (Oh and food and clothes).Always sounds to me like you have that covered.
