How does a three year old sneak out of a house?

Mine got out at that age and managed to climb very high in a magnolia tree.  Fortunately there was a painter next door who came over with a tall ladder and retrieved her.  She was a climbing nightmare.

Have you heard of an outfit called Lasagna Love? You sign up and someone will deliver a home made lasagna right to your door! https://www.lasagnalove.org

Great project. My daughter has participated twice with Girl Scouts and it’s a great organization. We delivered to the elderly in our community and they were much appreciative.

I love how they just blur the whole store now.

Saying the live in a compound in Texas immediately had me wondering what fundamentalist evangelical cult they belonged to growing up. 

Hope not Branch Davidian.

IS SIMON A PERSON OR A PET??

It's a floor wax AND a dessert topping.

Yes.

This family "compound" is giving me bad vibes. It looks like the place where Jaycee Duggard was held captive for all those years.

How close is it to becoming where all those folks were taken out in Texas?

Hello Pounders!

Can't believe I am 15min late!  I was finally seeing what the hype was all about on Ted Lasso and lost track of time...and I was so engrossed, there have been no dinner eating habit!  Go figure!

YAY!! My 12-year-old Simon had to have 8 teeth extracted today! He's a little loopy from the procedure, but he's up and walking around and eating well.

I just noticed my 3 year old cat is missing teeth and I feel horrible. I’m nervous for his upcoming vet visit. He’s going to act like a total poundpicipant on the way there too.

[babyhouseman]

Maybe they want to replace the Duggars with their own show.

[Lillith]

I think Meagan's happy to keep him fed because she's got a built in teacher/babysitter.

Yes im old.

Cinderblock step does not look safe for him.

[sagittarius sue]

I hoping for this guy.  He walks, eats at a table, walks at a grocery store.

[ams1001]

Doggie (big) and cat (I think)!

[Auntie Anxiety]

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that this guy is yet another in the long line of recent patients who don’t get the surgery for one reason or another.

My friend called on them one time, she's a single mother with a stressful job and two kids and she hates to cook, but she wants to give them a good meal every night. She felt weird about it at first but ended up loving it and was very grateful. The person also brought her a pie!

We should get a boredom warning at the start of the show.

PS...I am typing one handed while trying to eat my apple with the same hand while my left thumb is wrapped in paper towels...

 

My SIL gave everyone one of those apples and I am just staring at it, befuddled on how to eat the damn thing.

🐱 They are amazing..!!!  "BB" is our cat; she had all but four of her teeth extracted two years ago.  The next morning she was up wanting & eating her crunchy hard food.  If that was me, I'd still be whining about it!

Paper plates, always paper plates with these folks

I have a gorgeous set of china with silver rims and roses on a white background. I dust it now and then while eating from a Walmart Great Value Everyday paper plate. I just bought a new pack of 100 today because my supply was down to around 40, and I felt fearful. 

I have washed enough dishes for 79 lifetimes. The only 'real' crockery I use is my chicken mug which says "I may look calm, but in my head I've pecked you 3 times", and has a chicken in a head scarf and glasses on it.

Conroe is about 160 miles from Waco.

But it looks like the N suburbs of Houston. So, that should only be 1 or 2 drive-ins away.

They never have sheets on their beds or actual plates in their cupboards. And they all--ALL--have grotesquely mangled feet. 

[aliya]

I'm not getting the problems with praying before meals and homeschooling. Many, I'd dare say millions of people pray before they eat and probably hundreds of thousands homeschool. It's not weird and it's not cultish.

I don't know if they have a 'compound' because of their religion, whether that is just word choice for the physical set up they have, or because they want to live together. People live in compounds all over the world. I'm pretty sure in a more rural time, many Americans had several houses and various family members living on the same acreage. We have various family members in separate living quarters on the same farm here in Iowa. It ain't weird.

Going out on a limb here, but it could be because the sheets get really sweaty and the sweat irritates him.  Trust me, when it gets hot down here, one can almost be allergic to one's own sweat.

He has literally no excuse not to see Dr. Now!!!!

[Auntie Anxiety]

So I have a few episodes of The Witcher to finish and then I’m moving on to The Bureau. Watched the first season of The Bureau a while ago, so now I’ll need to rewatch in order to get up to speed. This is retirement, folks.

[Suzywriter]

Calibrate rejected me. I'm hurt.

but i bet you won't give in and make a lot of stops at fast food places

[charmed1]

What will the Uber XXXXXL of choice be?

[TazDevil]

Jumping right into the road trip to Dr. Now!!

Which drive-thru will he hit first?

[Chicklet]

This drive is not going to be pleasant even as short as it is. He's huge!

[Burning Rubber]

The way he's feeding these kids, they'll have their own show in 20 years.

They are so large that the sheets pop off of the mattress because of the square inchage of body pressing them abnormally deeply into the mattress. Even the deepest pocket sheets can't take that kind of punishment.

The feet, I avert my eyes. They ruin my appetite. 

[faraway]

The “homeschooling” didn’t look very rigorous or professional. That bothers me. 

[dreadfulLeigh]

Maybe his proximity to Dr. Now will speed us along towards early surgery.

Oh, he'll find one. There'll probably be a lot going on. Maybe his family will need him and he won't be able to get away. Or he might have a sick friend. 

[TazDevil]

545 in 2017?

Add four years of those breakfasts?  I'm guessing 680.
