oops meant abominable snowman, not abdominal snowman - HA HA HA
Guess I'm working too much. HA HA I'm going to laugh the rest of tonight on that one.
I don't have my snowman, but I wish I did now.
At that time, I didn't feel the need, and now since she passed away a year ago, I wish I had it.  Oh the memories.  Hanging that decoration in my bedroom window as a child signified everything magical about Christmas.  Those were the days! 
Thanks! Yes, it was my mother's snowman.

It is hard plastic. It's been around about as long as I have. lol. When she died, my sisters and I split up her Christmas decorations and I got the snowman.  Do you still have your snowman?


Christmas memories! 


I had a reindeer just like the snowman
when I was a little girl. Would love to have it now. My jack russell sleeps like that. Just yesterday and I thought about taking her pic. and posting on this board. Fur-kids are just so great.
What's for lunch?
I'm sick of the same ole, same ole . . . need new ideas!
lunch
My husband works 12-hour shifts. He takes 2 meals to work with him. Usually a can of soup, a salad and 2 sandwiches, crackers and a few sodas to last him the 12 hours. For him to eat 2 meals out everyday would be way too expensive.

All through my kids' school years, they asked to carry their lunch. Said the school lunches were too nasty to buy. I made a sandwich, crackers or chips, a piece of fruit and a cookie.

Working at home, I eat whatever is here.

I cook 5 out of 7 dinners a week. Even fast food is getting too expensive with 2 older sons and a husband, usually for the 4 of us and fast food, we spend $25 to $30 per trip.
Lunchables. Lunch box or not? (sm)

I put the grandkids on the bus in the mornings and they like to take lunchables, however they don't want to put them in their insulated lunch bags, just throw them in their back pack.  They insist "everybody" does this.  I am a worry wart when it comes to not keeping food properly refrigerated.  


Am I being paranoid, is this safe?


re: lunch while typing
Just FYI....NEVER try to eat ramen noodles while you are typing!!! Not a pretty site...LOLOLOL...just a thought to lighten the load!!! hehehehe
And maybe one of them works during lunch.

lunch ideas
Does anyone have any ideas for quick lunches that are yummy?  I live by myself and really do not cook a big meal that often so leftovers are usually out of the question although family members will bring me some goodies from time to time.  What I really need are good lunch ideas for one person.  I get so tired of eating soup and salads.  Open for suggestions!!  TIA
DH and I are w/my family for lunch

and his for dinner.  I have ex-aunt that still gets invited to holiday get togethers since she was married to my uncle for so long and her kids and now a grandaughter will be with us.  She and a real pain in the but.  Even when it is not her house she tries to dominate everything.  Where everyone should sit, when we should eat, the conversation somehow always revolves around her.  She will ask you a question and even before you finsih answering she is off talking about something else.  We basically just roll our eyes and try to avoid her.  This year she wrote a letter to my mom asking her to  move her Christmas Eve plans to a different time (have been doing the same thing for years) to make it easier on her.  Not going to happen. 


At DH's house his mother was in a really pissy mood when we first arrived.  I like her most of the time, but lately I have found that I just tend to tolerate her.  She and I have never had any problems but I think her getting older is starting to take its toll.  She and I differ anyway.  Every Thanksgiving it is the same, everyone that comes brings a couple of dishes but she also does some of the cooking.  She doesn't clean up as she goes along, so the sink is always full of dirty dishes before dinner starts and I can guarantee you when we start to clean up we will find that the electric dishwaher ( I am the human one) is full of clean dishes.  This year as soon as we got there she took a hot pot off the stove and put the food into a serving dish.  I decided to go ahead and wash it.  The pot was extremely hot so I turned on the cold water to cool it off just a bit before I washed it.  She came to the sink and turned the hot water on.  I politely said "I was just trying to cool if off a bit before I stuck my hands in it."  "No, that is not the way I do it".  I was stunned.  I have been married to her son for over 20 years and I always wash the dishes.  I don't mind that I certainly am going to do my part.  But this year I said, "well if you want me to leave these for you to do, fine."  I did help clean up after dinner but I did not put my hands in any dishwater.  Besides they were still a bit pruned from cleaning up after lunch. LOL! 


Btw, this is the same woman who gives me something that she collects every year for Christmas even though I and her daughter have very politely let her know this is not something I want.   


they can also pack their lunch

Lunch spending
My husband usually brings leftovers for lunch. I give my daughter $20 for lunch at school (to put in her lunch account), and that usually lasts a week. My other daughter is home by lunchtime and she eats what we have here at home. We spend about $100 a week on groceries. On the weekends we usually go out at least once, maybe twice for lunch and spend anywhere from $15-$25 depending on where we go. My oldest is a vegetarian so we actually save money because if we get takeout, she usually doesn't find anything that she wants to eat. When I was working outside the home I spent way to much on lunch every day, usually about $50 a week.
Pay for his lunch.... Can be arranged through the cafeteria. nm

Better question to ask..... Do they get full at lunch? sm
My youngest who took those finally asked me 1 day to add a sandwich as those just did not fill her up. She is a very petite 8 year old who is very active. They are just not enough!! :)
I also watch while typing or at least try to eat lunch then
I read that the audience will slowly find out who all is in the accident. Like yesterday just about Nick, Sharon, and Jack. I know Cane, Katherine, Lauren, Paul, and the lady cop (can't remember her name). also Victoria (we already know this), JT, and I suppose Adrain. What about Amber? Not sure about her. I think I saw her with blood on her in a preview.
It is worth the wait, but you could go for lunch and not
xx
H went and talked the director at lunch.

She said she was just worried that she might be sick.  She said dd would cry like the whole world caved in and then the next minute she would be happy and play as if she didn't have a care in the world.  I don't really know what it is about. 


I haven't taken my own medication for a few days and I guess it has brought out my paranoia.  I have never been as bad off as my cousin but I do take antidepressants.  Yeah, we live in a small town and people like to talk. 


Okay, what does your family spend on lunch

What's the family lunch budget for kids and husbands?


  Us that work at home don't get a lunch budget I know


PUMPKIN PIE. Breakfast, lunch and dinner! n/m
.
I always put them in the lunch boxes with a cold pack. NM

Pack them a decent lunch. That is garbage.

So, June Cleaver... what do you pack for lunch?
Finger sandwiches? Please. It is one meal of the day and kids would eat far worse if given lunch money. Now why don't you run along and iron your aprons or something :)
She called twice at lunch and I just didn't answer.

I know she won't listen to me as to why I won't buy, it is not the products it is the issue of having to buy every freak'n month.  That is the isssue.  At least that is how I perceived this from my mom.  I am just going to half to tell her no that if she has nothing else to say go home or hang up I am busy. 


As far as the weight issue is, I am sure she wanted to know she she can tell everyone that "well at least I don't weigh as much as cousin because she weighs blah blah blah."  I know that is how she is. As far s the doctor weighing me, I am not sure.  I think maybe some birth control methods doesn't work for women over a certain weight is the only thing I can think of.  I bet though when he dictated his note about me it started with  "this obese 32 YO" LOL. 


anonmt-is your husband eating his lunch all by himself?

So sorry to be nosy, but it's been a few days since you posted and I am genuinely concerned about you.  Has he been dumped?


Live alone, don't eat lunch. Usually don't eat until late afternoon.

My lunch-budget is however many lines I miss when

Anyone know the best place in Destin for a seafood lunch? sm

Hubby and I are going down next weekend for 2 nights and have not been in years.  I would love to hear of any really neat places where we can get a nice seafood lunch for a reasonable price.  Thanks for your help! 


Are you going to laser your veins? Places here in NY say to have it done on your lunch hour!

Call the friend back and set up the lunch date.
about.  You need a recharge.  Do you minimum payments if at all possible on the cards and then snowball it.  Cut them up; don't use them anymore!  Pay cash for everything....  Save some money each week to do something nice for yourself!  Good luck... and Yes, you do matter! 
Students Denied Hot Lunch Until Money Paid

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, Colo. — Forget pizza, hamburgers and macaroni and cheese.


Dozens of students at Steamboat Springs schools are getting peanuts, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches — or nothing — for lunch this week after the district cut off those with unpaid balances on their school lunch accounts.


Nutritional Services director Max Huppert says students owing $6 or more were not allowed to use the district's automated payment system to buy hot lunches when they returned to school Monday. The move affected about 25 elementary students and an unknown number of middle school students.


The affected elementary school students were given snack food instead, but the others received nothing.


Huppert says about half of the nearly $10,000 owed to the district has since been paid.


Heard the most fascinating story today at lunch. gottah share. sm

My best friend just returned from a trip back home by herself. There, she met up with her high school sweetheart - 20 years later. His mom and her mom are best friends and they were both there for a funeral.  She cried her eyes out at lunch today.
She learned while on her trip back home that the love of her life was divorced, has 3 kids - his wife left him for another man. My friend is married with 2 children.
To make a long story short, my friend is a true lady. She told him all about her life here and he just listened. They were near water (a gorgeous beach) on the docks and it was just the 2 of them and he began saying things to her that made her so sad. He went on and on about how he never stopped loving her and would look at her and say, "you are just as gorgeous as you were back in high school."  She said she would just laugh and tell him he was crazy.  She said she saw him on and off during the trip because she "had" to. They have families that are very close.  Every time he would see her he would give her a big hug and call her gorgeous.  She said the night before she left they were on his mother's porch swinging, eating ice cream and he cried like a baby. She cried. Nothing inappropriate happened between them.  She said it was a connection none like she had ever, ever experienced before.  She said that he made her promise that if anything were to ever happen between she and her husband that she would come back and be with him. He promised that he would wait for her, even if she were 80 years old.  My friend cried and cried.  He cried and cried.


I cried and cried.  I know this lady's husband.  The have a good relationship.  But she and I both know that we did not marry our soul mates.  I don't even know where mine is (we broke up many moons ago), but I know he was the one for me.  There was no infedelity to this story at all. I believe her.  They lost contact when she went away to college, moved on, and that was it.  She would talk about him periodically with me, but nothing real serious.


I don't know how many women (I sure haven't) met up with old flames or lost soul mates and have the experience she has.  She is a Christian and says that if she didn't love Jesus, something would have happened between them. She was able to use her love of God to witness to this man (who isn't a Christian).  She said that she wouldn't be able to live with herself if something happened between them and that his soul was more important to her than her selfish desires.


I commended her for that.  I don't know how many women in her position would have been as strong.  She cried so hard when she was telling me this story. Lunch lasted 4 hours!! I'm glad I was off today. Anyway, it just has me thinking about my ilfe, too, as a married mom and wife. My husband is the most unemotional, unaffectionate, doesn't-believe-in-soul mates-kind-of-guy. I can't talk with him about these kinds of things.  I just wish he were mine OR I was with mine.......


Got a soup kitchen or church mission that serves lunch daily?
