    What is the standard check up time line for expecting mothers?

    Yup, no worries. Just had my baby a little over three months ago. I went in every four weeks till something like 28 or 30 weeks, then every two weeks till something like 35 or 36, I think, then it was every week. Everything was fine in my pregnancy, but that's just the schedule. Oh, and I...

    Looking for union suit patterns

    I just thought I'd try here before I gave up. I've been looking all over for patterns for union suits for my girls (you know, the bright red, long sleeved jammie like things with the butt flap?). I'd really like to make each one a set for Christmas pictures and Christmas jammies this year. My...

    So I went to church for the first time in years...

    You asked what to bring for children in church. Well, usually some coloring books, other books, a snack like crackers, dry cereal, etc, maybe something to drink in a sippy cup, and I usually pack at least one quiet toy. My oldest daughter (3 years) gets her baby doll and a blanket, my youngest...

    Drunken idiots with guns

    Things have calmed down. We haven't had too much chance to talk with the neighbors yet, because they've been dealing with all kinds of family stuff now after the funeral, but they are doing the friendly wave they always used to do. I didn't get a chance to get over there with anything yet. My...

    Drunken idiots with guns

    So I'm awake. I'm usually not at this time of night. All because the neighbor's grandpa died and today was the funeral. Well, not really, but that's the excuse they're using next door shoot off a gun or two. While drunk. I got woke up about an hour ago by gunshots. Not just a couple like...

    Does anyone live near Minneapolis, MN??

    I don't live close enough to help much more than just making a suggestion. Do you have any affiliation with any large church bodies? Like Methodist, Baptist, Catholic, Lutheran (any synod) etc? You may be able to find something through a church by placing a phone call. Or you could possibly...

    How do you pronounce....

    So for Araucana it's a long "a" sound at the beginning? I was pronouncing it (to myself as I read it) as are-uh-con-uh. So I wasn't too far off, but I'm wondering where in the world the people on that show were figuring their pronunciation.

    How do you pronounce....

    I just have to ask, because I never thought of it before: How do you pronounce Araucana? I know it can't be like I heard on the Cooking Channel during a discussion about egg colors. There it was pronounced "uh-roo-canoe". Then I started doubting my own pronunciation. So, how do y'all say it?

    Any good color imaginers?

    If you do go for a lighter coffee color as it was put, try Sherwin Williams' "Shaker Beige". If you have a store near you, you could go in, pick the color card, and then go have it matched somewhere else that would be cheaper. I used to paint on a nearby campus during the summers. One summer...

    Knishes and Mushroom Soup

    Okay, going to show my ignorance here, but what are Knishes? They look really good, no matter what, so now I have to go find something to eat.

    Why was this a good idea?

    My older daughter is three. She's changing and showing more independence and maturity every day. Usually she loves animals, except other people's dogs (ours she loves!). She likes watching birds outside and will point out a lot of different animals to us. That's why I was so shocked at her...

    Why was this a good idea?

    Well I will admit to showing the kids the 5 cotton tail bunnies I got away from my dogs before they ate them.I let them hold one,and then we put them back into the hole.I kept the dogs locked up until the bunnies left the nest,which unfortunately the mother placed in the middle of our fenced...

    Why was this a good idea?

    That makes me feel better, actually. The whole rejection thing was "common wisdom" with which I grew up. I did finally figure out what kind of bird it is...And considering the range this bird has in North America, I'm kind of ashamed to admit what it is. They're killdeer(s).

    Why was this a good idea?

    This is not necessarily a husband bashing thread. I'd be saying this about anyone who did this. Back story: My husband got home from work today and immediately changed clothes and went outside to do a few things before bringing our oldest daughter out with him. This is a normal occurrence...
