I treated my children like if they didn't do their chores, I'd have their dad pay me bi-weekly $30 to do them. This meant they got zero of their allowance. So today, when he woke up for the day, I told him that $1 for our...

Do you have a savings account? I have $10 and change in mine. This will not do for an emergency. Are you more prepared than I am? Course, I do have the credit cards with lots of credit available if I need them, but interest.

C @RebeccasFarm Oh, I try. I cant way I'm always well sorted out, work in progress. It takes a while to get to the point of physically saving things.

C Thank you! I think it will be helpful in the end. Plus, it's not like I'm using the money they don't get on anything. It'll just go back into our family funds unless my husband tossed it into my book stuff.

C Thank you, I thought so as well. If sick I'll let it slide because I know they are sick.

C Very true! It is the small-based real world when you think of it. If you don't do something, why should you earn money from it?

C I never got anything or chores. It wasn't an option. Either way, my kids do and get something, or they do them and get nothing. My husband gives them $10 weekly only if they do the chores written out for them, and I don't ask them more than once to do it. I...

There is some leftover dinner from last night, which was breakfast burritos. Most weeks, I make one dinner that is usually breakfast-based and just switch what it is. I think next time I plan for burritos I'll do breakfast bowls...

C @anya12adwi There is a thing called vegetable stew again the word stew might not be used but doesn't mean it doesn't exist where you live. A curry is a stew. Like porridge is also like cream of wheat, rice cereal, and oatmeal.

C @anya12adwi All places worldwide have stew, though it might not be called that. Every country has a variation of the same dishes, just changed up and sometimes called by different names. In the US, we have cookies, which British people call biscuits, and...

Good morning myLotters! I was just wondering who is the author that you can always count on. I mean can they make you happy? can they give you a warm feeling without fail? or some other emotion? really any way you want to feel...

C @LovesEverybody, I'm currently reading Vicious Seduction. It's part of a short Italian mafia romance series. The author has spinoffs of other groups or mafia types, but I haven't checked them out to see if they are something I would read. I tend to jump all...

Well, my kids had an interesting start to their week of School. On Monday, I got an email from the school's principal telling the parents not to be alarmed that the school had an unplanned fire drill during lunch. Typically, when...

C I don't know if they have the right to tell parents which student did or didn't pull the alarm. There are cameras, so I'm sure they do know who it is. Their parents were probably notified, and some form of punishment with probably both the school and the...

C @anya12adwi There are different types of sweet potatoes, and even though they are called sweet potatoes, they are not that sweet. I've enjoyed them my whole life, usually with butter, and they are even better with cinnamon butter. My youngest likes his with...

C My husband doesn't like potatoes unless they are fries or chips. One of my kids is the same as my husband, but he will eat hashbrowns. My oldest and youngest like nearly all potatoes. My youngest also likes sweet potatoes, which is nice.

I love game shows especially trivia based ones. I feel it helps keep my mind sharp and sometimes I'm amazed at the things I know and equally amazed at the things I don't know. My new find is The Floor with Rob Lowe as the host....

C It depends on what the dinner was, whether it's for breakfast or not. I won't be eating pizza for breakfast, that's for sure, or burgers. Something left, maybe a leftover biscuit or bread, sure.

Yay, I read a total of 8 books this month, two of which were ARCs (Advanced Readers Copy). Both come out in October, so I made sure to read them early enough so I wasn't rushed to read them both in October. I had two BDSM...

C Advanced Reader copies are readers who write reviews for having an early copy of the author's work. Authors have ARC readers to help boost their books on release day, which then gives the general public access to buying the book. I'm an author myself, and I...

Yes! After months of waitlisting and jumping around to find a therapist, we finally were able to go through the kid's school to get someone. Of course, they are outside of our range, but they offer telecalls. My oldest has her...

C Because, like all doctors, even therapists get busy and don't have openings. It's not like you call, and they see you right then. Nope. They also have to be in your network (health insurance). They are not always full, but depending on what you're going for...
