msbelle, you might look for those little freezer pack veggies that Green Giant makes - broccoli or cauliflower, etc, often with a garlic or cheese sauce. They're very low cal and could be stirred into a lot of LCs to make them more filling.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
So far, my favorite picture in that group from the article is of Mayor Jerry Springer.
I think it's nice that he and his hair could get time away from fronting REO Speedwagon.

I remember getting about one snow day a year back in Alpena, MI. I don't recall any days off for cold. But then, it's in northern lower Michigan, so just about everyone had warm outerwear, even if it took a coat drive or other charity to make it happen. With snow starting in November and often lasting until the end of March, winter wear really was a life or death need.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Sorry about the kitties, Fred.

We have one here called Kidspark. It's not super close, but it is an option, which is awesome.

YAY overtime!
That sounds like a long day, msbelle.
I'm getting over time for my 3 days of PD, essentially. Today was intriguing and we are done with the project, but I still have one day to go.
Interestingly one teacher team was playing music while they were working. It was a little presumptous in a room of 10 other teams.

yep. not as long as the drivers who were still there when I left. 8 - 7:15 with half an hour for lunch and not leaving the office. I do not want to do that too many days in a row.
