Hey, any of y’all deal with roaches before? I’m super grossed out and feeling like a bad momma right now.

I’m worried my husband is getting to that point. What’s so bad about drinking plain water anyway?

Still, at least if it was lowered then we could work on properly educating teens on responsible drinking.
If a teenager/20 year old wants to drink, they’re gonna find a way to do it, period. And if it’s not allowed and a big no-no, it’s just more enticing and asking for rebellion imho.

There's no "weight" to water. Sometimes you just want something a little fuller bodied.
He should be fine, unless he starts getting bad arthritic like symptoms, severe headaches and bad ringing in the ears. Then, he should think about cutting milk out of his diet.

I wholeheartedly agree, and that’s why I think it should be more promoted about the ability to drink at a younger age as long as you have your parents with you. It teaches responsibility in my opinion.

As for the roaches? I have no idea, hopefully someone who has experienced it before can help. Does DE affect roaches?

Exactly! Which is why I'm on page 89 of… -checks- …1,226!

Hello y'all I'm not dead! I've just been super busy getting in some overtime at work. I just came home to find out that my sister-in-law's milk drinker just piped so I'm gonna run around doing some last minutes things for them while we wait for her to start zipping!

Good morning deer....

The first pic is looking at my back yard from my kitchen window. You can see part of my DH car so you can tell it’s really pretty close to our home. The 2nd pic is a zoomed in shot thru my back door. (Man I need to clean my windows! Sry lol)
Just thought I would share.

Seriously are none of us "here" t


But what does it mean? If I use a dash/ hyphen incorrectly there are CONSEQUENCES... dundundun...

Bad consequences. Especially if it's in front of me.

That is why you will never see me use a dash on this site. I am afraid to do so least I get kicked off the site.

Aw, come on, dashes are nice.

I had to look for "the rules" again so I could refresh my dash brain.
I found them and thought I would reshare them.
I think they are quite lovely.
Yet I still can't remember how to type them correctly on the Mac.

I think it's alt + 0151. It's ctr + shift + U + 2014 on my computer.

That is THE creepiest emoji I have ever seen.

Regardless, I fully support you as the dash police. (please don’t hurt me)

Bunny update:

If these bunnies live it will be a miracle. It's been a few days and I haven't seen the bunnies. I was outside and heard a squeak and the 2 dogs had one. It's eyes were open and it was hopping around and much larger than last time I saw them. Clearly the mama has come back and has been caring for them. If they can survive in my hostile yard another week they might just have a chance at life and be able to move on somewhere safer.

I must have been sleeping 50 yrs ago and totally missed the dash/hyphen difference.. I have to admit the first time I heard of this was on BYC

Fortunately I just just use them for words like co-op .. so I may be safe
