When I was a kid, nobody had a peanut allergy, nobody. Now its everywhere you look. Gluten free is the new concern, I guess I'm rare, I can eat anything with no fear or regret. Do you know anybody who has to live Gluten free? Or...

tbomb2002 I'm curious, what exactly are the symptoms of a gluten allergy? In other words, what happens if you eat food with gluten in it? I've heard that some people with food allergies break out in hives, but yours sounds more like it affects your digestive system?

We are going to start canning again. We will use the produce from our garden and we will also be getting produce from the farmers market and if there are sales at the stores. I think it is smart to put away food for later. We will...

I do and I love it. I make dried fruit, jerky, and fruit leathers. I also dry my own herbs in it. Do you have one? What do you use it for?

tbomb2002 When you use the sun for drying, how do you prevent bugs from getting at it?

Do you use your own bags at the grocery store or do you have them bagged in plastic or paper? I take my own bags with me but I only have 7 so anything beyond that goes in plastic. Most of the time I get an exasperated look from...

tbomb2002 I agree with you on the size. But a bigger bag would also mean a heavier bag. When I shop, it's usually for 2 weeks at a time. I can't imagine having to carry one bag full of 20 cans, 20 boxes, and everything else on top of it!

tbomb2002 Ewwww, I never even thought about putting fish or meat in there! I have yet to use my own bags, but because they are selling them nearly everywhere now, I have been thinking about it. However, my thinking didn't get as far as the fish and meat problem...glad...

Today I decided to take my daughter, my son, my neice and 2 of my daughters friends to the lake for a picnic. The entire way there, my daughter and my neice fought the entire trip there. I babysit my neice, so she had to come with...

tbomb2002 You said it...tomorrow is another day :) It's good to have an outlet such as this to vent...being able to communicate with others who have the same experiences makes me feel better anyway.

There is a case here in my home state about a couple who had almost a dozen foster & adopted children in their care. Most of these children (if not all) were "special needs" children, who were kept in special cages at night,...

tbomb2002 I agree 100%, but therein lies some of the red tape in the system. One of the reasons I am no longer a foster parent. They simply don't have enough foster homes available, so the case workers are forced to scramble to find adequate housing for the children,...

tbomb2002 Exactly, if we were able to communicate productively with the X's, then we probably wouldn't be divorced in the first place! In my case, I have full physical custody (we have joint legal custody), and he has every other weekend visitation. It irks me to no end...

I just noticed that one of our satellite channels is bringing back re-runs of Mad About You. I used to love this show! I always thought Helen Hunt and Paul Reiser had great chemistry. Are you a fan?

tbomb2002 I agree about them having Mabel too, but I think the show could have picked up momentum even then. It was more the fact that the couple lost the "magic" they had between them.

tbomb2002 Being a foster parent is really hard when you have case workers begging you to take in "just one more child". At the time we were licensed, we were licensed for only two children, but on more then one occassion were asked to take in more then that, because...

I think that usually something free is a bargain. However, sometimes, low-cost items aren't really a bargain. This is especially true if they are cheaply made. Sometimes a better-made product that costs more is the real...

tbomb2002 Using coupons are a definite bonus if you can find something on sale and then use the coupon on top of it! One of the stores I like to find bargains at is Bed, Bath and Beyond, because you can then use your 20% off coupons too (and those things never expire,...

tbomb2002 Well I thought it was strange when she said it, but I didn't think to really question it futher. She didn't give any indication for me to think something might have happened. Her reasoning was because he is such a large dog (he is a Golden Retreiver, 7 months...
