Yessssssssss. I figured with the very brief glimpse we got of her later in the season. Now it's just how long she stays a brainwashed Samaritanite.

This can really suck, but in time can also turn out to be the best thing. You want friends that have your back, not just ones that are there when it's convenient for them.
A few years ago I considered myself very close friends with a girl I worked with, her name was Ashley. We'd always hang out, go shopping, go drinking, worked at two different companies together. I helped her pass her securities exam, counseled her through dating a few ****** monsters, and she eventually asked me to be her maid of honor when she got engaged to her boyfriend.
I started coming up with ideas for her, letting her kind of be a bridezilla, until one day (which I was already having a bad day) she sent me a text asking if I'd be okay with not being a bridesmaid because she changed her mind and decided her future SIL needed to be in the wedding. I went from maid of honor/bff to can't even talk to me in person. There was the obligatory "I hope this doesn't ruin our friendship" text to her pretending I didn't exist at work.
In the end, it was for the best. I don't want people in my life that can't be mature and talk to me to my face, out that are completely selfish.
Happy Birthday, train!
Today Queen Elizabeth II is now the longest-reigning monarch in English history. Just passed Queen Victoria.
Female queens FTW!

If your kid is saying that she is having fun, she probably is. Once you notice that she's not very engaged in the game on a regular basis, it may be time to stop.
We have generally made our kids go to practices. That being said, until they get to the high school level, we will skip practice if there is something else on our schedule that seems more important. Also, there are sports that you can start a bit later if the kids still want to participate competitively. Tennis, swimming, cross-country and track are some examples.
If you emphasize having fun, trying hard and being respectful - those are the things that are most important at that age. It seems like you understand this.
Parenting seems to be a constant balancing act. You are always trying to find the balance between pushing and rewarding, keeping the kids engaged but allowing them free time and challenging them but not frustrating them (too much).
Good luck and keep on keeping on.
Bring a cage with a couple of chickens. You can have fresh eggs every morning. You may want to pull out the yolk from any more than the first egg. This will eliminate the cholesterol and most of the fat (and therefore the caloric) content.
anybody have a Linden tree? Or a yellow fall tree? Prefer something nice and big, going toward the back of the lot.
Trying to do something besides maple since we already have a couple of those we want to do....and looks like pretty much all of IA is the same zone as here.

Sleeping in the day after my champagne and rhubarb experiments. My hypothesis on rhubarb countering hangovers seems to be at least partially true. Hangover is barely DEFCON 3, maybe only a 4.
* I wanted to respond before catching up, so if I repeat options sorry*
Yogurt, especially Greek. Lots of protein not much fat. Fruit like apples, oranges, peaches, grapes, bananas will keep well either in frig or out. Veggies like tomatoes, bell peppers, carrots. Maybe their grocery store has small amounts of already cut up things. Cheese sticks. Jerky (though salty has good protein). Peanut butter and Jelly. Nuts.
Do they have a sandwich place? Or we get chicken nuggets from Burger King and they aren't too bad if you have them once a week.
