re: My mom's dog ate chocolate

Posted by eleventy on 10/20/14 at 10:52 pm
Even a Milky Way Midnight has relatively little chocolate. My elderly Sheltie ate an entire cookie sheet of chocolate marshmallow candies cooling on a table. I KNEW it would spell her demise. She lived three more years. No evidence of problems from the chocolate at all. ...
My son would hop in the shower with his dad until he was prob 4? Saved time when we were all getting ready to go somewhere. He NEVER showered with me. My daughter (4) has never showered with me or her dad. Never will. We both oversee her bath, depending on who is available. Stopped checking in on my...

No hassle. Seriously, I have found the opposite to be true in many many cases. Sure, there are some with $$. We are middle of the road. There are people doing a lot with a little. Priorities differ. ...

I know people who do with probably not much more than that. They adjust their lifestyle. We have not had to do that so much, but likely would to keep things as they are. You may be surprised by how many women (or men) stay home while the spouse works. My daughter goes to a private kindergarten an...

Enough, I suppose. I gave up a pretty lucrative job, but we are all pretty pleased with the outcome. ...

I've been homeschooling my son for four years. We have a somewhat eclectic curriculum because he has learning problems, and was all over the place with regard to grade level when we pulled him out of school. It works well for us, and he is pretty much on grade level with everything now. I pick and c...

re: Your opinion of Goodwood Grill?

Posted by eleventy on 9/30/14 at 2:46 pm
Havent been since I worked in that area about a year ago, but prior to that, went fairly regularly for about five years. It is slammed at lunch. Either be there before 11:30 or go after 1. The crowding is partially due to logistics as mentioned previously, and also because it is a varied menu and pr...
I have a mix that (as best the vet can guess) is either GS or Belgian Malinois and Catahoula. She got larger than expected faster than expected, and became difficult on walks. Took her to obedience with Larry Benoit in BR. He suggests a pinch collar and his training methods worked well with practice...

re: Anyone shop at Hi Nabor?

Posted by eleventy on 9/26/14 at 12:58 pm
It's an AG supermarket like LeBlanc's, Matherne's, Bet-R and the like. The deli has good breakfast and lunch. The one on Drusilla had become a bit grimy. I occasionally shop at the one on Jones Creek -- no complaints. ...

re: Please tell me about Root Canals...

Posted by eleventy on 9/26/14 at 10:56 am
My regular dentist did mine. Told me it would be quick and smooth if there were no complications such as crooked roots or pulp stones. Half an hour later he is calling other dentists and hygenists in to look at my pulp stones. Fifteen minutes after that he was cursing my twisty roots. That being sai...

re: Favorite store bought ice cream?

[quote]It may piss me off more because when I was growing up "the kids" knew when the hell we were having homemade ice cream because we were the ones who cranked the handle to make it. [/quote] This is true! I don't think Momma was hollering "come and get it". When the kids hollered back "YEAH", ...

[quote]Even if you tell her now, she'll probably be pissed that you didn't tell her earlier today.[/quote] This. I cannot imagine all this going on with my husband, him not telling me, being patronizing with "not wanting the little woman to worry", and fricking around with the family stability thi...

re: Hong Kong Chicken at Shing's

The Mandarin Chicken I have encountered does not have a heavy batter like this, and the chicken is not completely covered with sauce. I will check out a few recipes for Mandarin, though. Thanks!...

Hong Kong Chicken at Shing's

Posted by eleventy on 9/13/14 at 9:17 pm
Yes, yes, Board of Health, etc. etc. Don't care. There was a dish at Shing's -- Hong Kong Chicken. A boneless chicken breast fried tempura-style with a brown, slightly sweet gravy/sauce. Probably cornstarch based, probably had five spice powder. I loved it and have found it at no other Chinese r...
