I was thinking maybe a standing rib roast. Anybody know how not to mess that up?

Thanks I will have to check it out.:tup:

i have an APP I like called Allrecipes

They took responsibility for the noise that they were
making and we all go along.

So I gave them both a gift the other day. 2 scratch tickets and they won $100. I was so happy for them. They bought me a beautiful Orchid.

Really are some nice people in the world!!!!!!!!

This is so cool to hear I love this story. I am very happy for you. I love it when things do this with people. And I am glad it happened to you.:hug:

I'm going to go make some ham and eggs for supper. Got to do something different with this ham!

 

[Deleted member 12723]

Ham sounds so good.

Rosie when did you figure it all out with your grandmother if you do not mind me asking you?

 

[Changing4Best]

I'm ending up having an egg only. The inner child says NO HAM! (She asked me, what do you mean, having ham twice in one day. Once is bad enough!!!) LOL...

Not at all :) well, I was sort of suspicious when mom was so desperate to paint her in such a bad light, the more she showed how much she disliked her the more I thought, huh, is this for real or is she just so against her she is exaggerating? And then I started being allowed to see her a bit. She didn’t hit me or abuse me, she didn’t hate me, I was curious, started seeing that nothing mom said was matching up, she stood up for me when my family was trying to hurt me and that really made me see- this woman is on my side, she loves me, and mom is spouting all sorts of lies to hurt her. I started telling mom not to speak that way she’d get so mad but I’d defend grandma till the end.

Merry Christmas all! Seattle has snow so we got a white Christmas! That's almost unheard of!! Nieces and dog are cold wet and exhausted from playing in the snow. So far so good!

I am so glad that you figured it out on your own. You see I am allowed to text my oldest but not my youngest and she is not allowed to talk to me. I have been doing this for a very long time and just recently wondered if I should just give up on that idea. Now you give me a shred of hope. If I remain kind and loving and being consistent she too may begin to start figuring it out as well because she was seventeen years old when the split happened last year and she just recently turned eighteen years old in the middle of this month.

I know that my grandaughter is very dependent on her for everything so that my daughter now has all of the control over the kids and the power now. That is why she will not talk to me at all. I think my daughter threatened her with something if she does talk to me.

I just do not know if you can convince a already formed young adult to kill love over lies or not yet. I am hoping that my texts are giving her some love and hope to just hang on. Thank you so much for sharing with me.:hug::hug::hug::hug:

I arrive at the party a toasted coconut. There is a bit of drama stirring but it's Christmas and I'm a toasted coo-coo-nut. I realized I didn't have to sit alone with the TV. I have a place to go and I am grateful. Eddie wants to be walked so I'll be back.
