@Scarlett45My granddaughter's other grandparents have a camper and I know they keep a stash of kids toys and games in it for when my son's family camps (tent) near them. Because it stays in the camper, it's a special occasion when they play with them. They might like a small basket of toys or crafts. Coloring books and crayons, sticker book, magic ink book, small portable games, sand toys. Or you could go the food route and get them s'more supples for the campfire.

Thank you @Jeeves

Can you share the youtubers name please? I'd love to convince DH to camp again!

Even with the smaller crowd they're using disposable dinnerware. Their stryofoam will be in that landfill forever.

Am I the last person on this thread to make a connection between the FreeJinger website and the title of her book, "Becoming Free Indeed"?

I thought the video was interesting. I give her (or her ghost writer) props for going back to the bible to disprove some of Meech and JB beliefs.

@lookeyloo I especially liked your line that " we can live through these things and come out mostly okay and functional." Your post made me reflect on doing something like this and I don't know that I could relive some moments. My youngest sister suffers from depression and I think may be bi-polar. She has refused meds and we've been estranged for over 15 years. My brother has begun to reach out to her and will probaby see her next month. I said he's a better person than me because she's said some things to me that I'm not ready to sweep under the rug. I like @crazy8s idea of answering some other questions. That might put less pressure on you.

I may have a faulty memory, but at one point wasn't she using her Dad's name? I thought she switched to Duggar when she appeared on the show to start her country singing career.

If you don't mind me asking; would you prefer people not ask, or just say that they're thinking of you. I don't really like the question of how are you, for the reasons you state. Do you have anything you'd LIKE to hear?

I can't remember where you're at @CalicoKitty; is it Northern CA? Stay safe!

Thanks for the tip. I have touch screen and hadn't even thought to use that.

I don't think these people even understand the concept of ugly sweater. They treat it like a costume party.

Why do you say that? I didn't watch the video; is it in there?

The boy has been found. I just clicked on the article and it's been updated.

The quilt is gorgeous @zoomama!! Does your brother know about the quilt or is it a surprise?

Jill's post in unbelievable!! Having the whole Rod clan at her mom's can't be calming. The amount of personal information Jill shares is outrageous and is a lesson to all children on what NOT to share about parents. Not to mention you don't ask for donations when you've just rented a car, gone on vacation, ate out and toured Sea World. And why isn't all her godly praying doing anything?

I believe you must wear one of these hats in order to get in.

The spelling is bad enough, but the shirts being hung different ways would drive me crazy.

I was reading CNN online and saw this picture. It looks like JD to me. Have we underestimated medicorps? It looks like they're actually helping. With all of the evacuations needed on Pine Island and Sanibel, wouldn't there have to be coordination with officials? ETA to add caption. Members of mediccorps.org help evacuate Tom Acerbo on Pine Island, Florida, on Saturday.

Just a reminder - put a sign with "NO CAMERAS" outside your room when your narcissistic children come to visit. BME is the worst.

We've talked on here about colonoscopies and the prep we have to go through. I have to share that my DH is having one tomorrow and he drank his first dose of prep all in one drink, no gagging, no having to take breaks, no tricks to make it go down easier. I was practically gagging thinking of what it was like. I am so jealous!!!

Are there bears where they were hiking? He'd be better off carrying bear spray.

They are along Route 66. We did a long trip from near Chicago to Albuquerque and stopped at a bunch of weird stuff. It was a good way to break up the trip.

What in the hell are they thinking with those melts? Is there anything else they could be?

It's common around me to have the groom to be either there the whole time or at least for gift opening. Jonathan being there is the least of the problems with the shower.
