That is what we use for Squeakers’ poop too. I hang a plastic grocery bag on the end of the bassinet like an impromptu trash receptacle. Interestingly enough breast fed baby’s poop does not stink.

I wish, except all things considered I don’t want anybody coming here. It’s none of my sisters business and now my mother is back to being nasty about me moving out. She keeps telling me \*I can’t kick one of you out unless I kick both of you out \*.
I think she wants my sister to leave but who knows, maybe she tells my sister she wants me to leave, maybe she wants all of us to leave. I know she regrets telling my sister she could get the third dog and bring it here. She’s the aggressive one who starts most of the trouble.
The mortgage company I am working with is in WVA so I doubt they will come here. The other one, which ignored all my emails and then sent me one yesterday, is in Ohio.
I’ve had a hard time finding a broker because I am considered self-employed, I want to borrow under $75,000 and my credit isn’t the best because basically I have none. I bought the truck last year so my credit is less than 2 years old and I have no revolving charge accounts. If I had known all this I would have gotten a credit card before I started the mortgage process but once you start they don’t want you to change anything.
Once I moved here and paid off everything I didn’t want any bills so if I couldn’t afford to pay cash I didn’t get it at all. You’d think that would be a plus, not a minus.
So everything is being done with fax, email and over the phone.

Odd - I babysat a young baby who drank only breastmilk, and I didn’t like the smell of his poop. Maybe it’s a mom thing to think it doesn’t stink? 😉 Or maybe it just stinks less than the poop produced later on in life?
Am I overthinking this? 😛

Just give FCD some Imperial Margarine.

According to Bill Cosby, that’s God playing a joke on you. Soon there will be stink. A mighty stink. And the cute little poo-poo will become A Mess.
I use plastic bags to make other bags if I like them enough. The ugly ones line the trash cans.

Supper was YUM! Steamed shrimps, steamed broccoli, instant N.O.T.s (don’t judge me!!!) and cuke salad. I’ve got seedless watermelon for later.
Meanwhile, I think I’ll assume the position and chill the night away. \*\*\* MWAH!!!\*\*\*

I just realized I have been remiss and am rightly horrified. :eek: Just horrified! :eek: I promised **Tao** I’d share the link to collards in the blog and then promptly forgot. I am ashamed. :o
So, [here’s the link.](http://mumpersrecipes.blogspot.com/search/label/Side%20Dish?updated-max=2009-01-05T17:50:00-06:00&max-results=20&start=20&by-date=false) One thing that is not mentioned is that collards do have to be washed especially if you buy ‘em by the big bunch because they can be gritty. I even wash those so-called pre-washed ones cause, well, I’m OCD about my collard greens bein’ clean. Fill the sink with water and wash 'em up. If they’re squeaky they’re clean. No need for all this wash a bazillion times nonsense some folks do. Really. When they squeak they’re clean.
You will need to scroll down just a little bit to get to the stuff about collards. Also if you’ve never saved the blog in your favorites, now’s the time to do so while you have a link.

Beautiful weather today, loving it. Sunny + cool out makes me a very happy Tao. And it’s Firday, whoo! Hope everyone has an awesome weekend 🙂

I’s exhausted,too. Came home to find that brother has food poisoning. Apparently ate somewhere on his trip this week; several of his friends got sick too. Haven’t seen him look that that sick. I was kind of scared for a bit because he was so lethargic, but he’s doing much better now.
Went for a walk with the nephew to give brother a bit of space. We’re now sitting around trying to figure out what game to play…
I’ll add washing instructions when I update the blog, **swampy**.
There was more, but I’ve forgotten… Back later with more.
Hugs all.

Just got back from an almost 35-minute, 10-kilometer bike ride, at sunset.
After showering and having dinner, I will be uploading my performance in last week’s recital to my channel, and link to it in this thread if anyone is interested…

It was a Fridge Patrol night, and Officer Mustgo made a decent shrimp fried rice for dinner.
Put another way, I made dinner with a bunch of leftover things and reclaimed a bunch of containers as well as freezer space.

Howdy all and happy Friday Night(were applicable, happy Saturday for those in the early crew)
I am posting from irk and we have eau d hippie in the air, oh yes that lovely odor of b.o., weed and patchouli. I shall have an easy night as we have one band and they have tjeir own engineer. I get paid to drink beerverages tonight. Yeah.
I was irking at the shop today and learned something everyone should know and I learned it the hard way. We have been expanding the area of the office that has A/C and a ceiling vent needed closing and insulation. So I climb on a ladder can of great stuff foam in hand to seal the cracks before the fiberglass goes in.
1. Great stuff does not stick to hot metal
2. Sticks to me just fine, also ladders, floors etc
3. If you get it in your body hair and can’t get it out before it dries, you have to _cut it out_, worse than gum by a long shot
:smack:

:eek::eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: 'nuff said…
It’s another glorious, cool morning. \*\*FCD \*\*will be rising shortly and heading out on a ride to some Harley event over in Montgomery county. Then he’ll come back and pick me up, since I agreed to ride with him to the meeting in the park that changed from a potluck cookout to a pizza thing.
While he’s on the ride, I’m going to finish with the cedar pieces. I also plan to load our assorted sheets and pillowcases into the armoire that daughter brought to us yesterday. It’s part of the bedroom set that we’d bought her 16-ish years ago - we’ve had the rest of the pieces for a couple of years now, since she wanted to buy herself a new set. Anyway, the dresser is currently full of sheets, etc, but I’m going to put all of that stuff in the armoire and \*\*FCD \*\*will use the dresser for his overflow garments. (I swear, he’s got about three times as much clothing as I do.)
I’ve also got to empty and refill the dishwasher and do some general tidying.
Tomorrow, there’s a Father’s Day ride to a BBQ place in Chesapeake Beach. Daughter is going to ride with him and I’ll follow in the car, since I’m always up for good BBQ. 😃
Full weekend ahead. Huzzah!
Happy Saturday!
