It must be specified in their stipulation that it goes later if the kid is
in college. If you don't specify and agree to it, it stops at 18 by
default.

How about change the word "judging" to "assessing". :)

This is, of course, much easier if you don't have or want children.

Yep. I seem never to have wound up the spring on my
biological clock.

When we married it was before the pill, so I had the third the same
year the pill came out. I am not sorry about that now, my girls
especially are great company and we enjoy each other. Then there are
the grandchildren and greatgrandchildren, I wouldn't like to have
missed that either.

Hey, the trees need plastic bags. Screw the trees though, I NEED
plastic bags too. I rarely use straws though so as to save the
damn turtles that might get one stuck in their nose. Save the sea
turtles too...we need turtle soup!
 
Sorry.. Just being dumb now. I'm off (of posting) until tomorrow.
Time now to make a nip of money.

Many people (including myself) bring cloth bags. But the supermarkets
give the paper bags instead or plastic. The paper bags are in case you
don't remember to bring your own. I reuse the handled paper bags, too.
They're very sturdy.

I always have my own shopping bags I occasionally get paper ones to use
in slow drying of rough-turned bowls. If they get damaged, they go into
the compost bin along with the wood shavings.

I never had much use for straws. I don't like sipping soft drinks or
mixed drinks through straws, and the last time I had a milk shake was at
least a decade ago. I use to drink beer and pop out of the can or
bottle. That stopped about a year and a half ago when a sweet loving
hornet hitched its way into my mouth in a piece of food and stung me.
Now I use a glass, especially if outside.

May not be Ukranian but baked potatoes and baked beans together is
definitelly prison food, TIAD Prison. Can't see the mystery meat
loaf (two words), it's drowning in sludge.

Seems the number of continents is still not decided although this link says
the 7 continent model is used in most English speaking countries.

I guess I was sleeping when that info came out. :)

Thanks G man,
 
If you like soup I have the best soup recipe for you.... Try this
one..
 
Root vegetable soup:
 
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
6 ounces parsnips, peeled and chopped
1 leek, white and light green parts only, halved lengthwise,
sliced thin, and washed thoroughly
1 celery rib, chopped
1 garlic clove, peeled and smashed
Salt and pepper
12 ounces russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
4 cups vegetable broth
1 cup of water
1 bay leaf
1 branch of thyme
1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper <more to taste>
1/2 cup heavy cream
 
Instructions
 
1. Melt butter in Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add carrots,
parsnips, leek, celery, garlic, and ½ teaspoon salt and cook until
browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in potatoes and cook, stirring
constantly, until starch begins to release and vegetables begin to
stick together, about 2 minutes. Add broth, water, bay leaf, thyme,
and cayenne pepper and bring to boil.
 
2. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until
vegetables are tender, 20 minutes. Discard bay leaf and thyme. Working
in batches, process soup in blender <a few pulses leaving a few
chunks, or completely smooth if desired>. Return soup to clean pot and
stir in cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve.
 
just a side note. I strip the thyme off the stems and just leave them
for added flavor in the soup.
