What was the reason for not eating? I mean you can find something for everyone in every food group imaginable. We fed our kids all day, but never had any real "meals". And what we fed them was mostly sugar. Hubby described the youngest as a hummingbird because she exists mainly on sugar.
I have no idea. They eat a lot of chicken in pasta type dishes. This is the same family whose oldest asked us "what is this?" when we served her fried chicken because she had never eaten chicken with a bone in it. Mrs. Velo and I were proud that we bought a couple of pork chops on the bone (instead of a stick) and all three of their finicky eaters not only tried a bite but were repeatedly coming back for more. Mrs. Velo was kicking herself for not getting the six pack deal.

To be fair, BIL did eat a couple of cookies out of the bucket FIL bought. He also drank the beer MIL bought him.

Not sure yet but he has stopped eating, slowing down, drinking a lot of water and MrsWx found a few more lumps on him.

Good luck. Our 9 year old lab mix seemed to be slowing down a bit, having trouble on stairs and getting in the car, and was eating less. He also suddenly needed to go out and pee in the middle of the night all of the time. We thought some of this was just age catching up with him.

One of the adult kids came home and noticed a lump on his back inner thigh that none of us had noticed. The vet was pretty sure it was just a lipoma and not a big deal to even bother removing. With a previous dog, a lipoma just kept growing and restricted his movement so we had it removed.

Dog has his mojo back. Eating more, no more late night peeing, hops into the car, chases boys on the steps, and goes for his 7 mile hikes. I think the lump was probably pressing on his bladder a bit and maybe throwing him off in the hips. He's a huge dog, so hip trouble would be pretty tough to handle.

pants, your post about running guilted me into doing a slow 3 miles Sunday. Must not work my calves enough during my other workouts cause they is sore.

Moar volleyball domination last night. Think we won -7, -13, -17. Not sure if one of the guys was mad or what, but in the hand slap thing before the last set, he about broke my hand slapping it so hard. Was definitely purposeful.

All my serves were in and I had a couple aces. One girl had a really odd serve. She'd like, bring her arm around from the side and somehow it would work. More of a movement for like, skipping rocks I would say.

Just seems crazy to go to the fair and not eat. ;) One of my traditional food is a cup of fruit/watermelon. Helps balance out all the other stuff. My kids loved helping us pick apart a giant turkey leg, but we didn't get one this year. We rarely get pork chops at the fair, but 3 of the 4 kids like pork.

I am a self-professed picky eater but I make my kids eat what ever we are eating. We have some type of meat at every meal, or fish/shrimp. There is a lot they don't "like" but they still need to try it.

One of my best friends in college had a similar serve. It was almost an underhand serve, but from a horizontal angle. It knuckled like a beast. She would change speeds and placements, making it a pain in the ass to receive. She would also occasionally put some backspin under it and catch someone off-guard and drill them in the face.

I would have rather faced a power topspin all day.
 
Is anyone else seeing a lot of blank replies in the forums today?

I've seen about 4 of them that are blank when I view them, but if I "reply" to their post I can see it.
 
Interesting.
Z turned off the kitchen lights to protect the zombies.
She gave me a pile of toys to protect from the zombies.

Note: We have a lot of zombies.


We did have to chase the zombies and red aliens out of her room last night. Sometimes the zombies are all tiny.

She has also chased all of the zombies out of the nearby park.

Rain is beautiful. People already chopping their corn but it might save the beans.

Do feel bad for friends moving their freshmen into Iowa State. No rain for two months, rain on moving day. Our returning student delayed moving until Friday to work more, but he's pretty happy the pool finally closed for rain.

yes, underhand and horizontal. And she'd use a closed fist, too. Didn't have a lot of power in it though so it wasn't too bad to handle.
