Home again, home again jiggedy jig. I think our house is fine despite 2 days of storms-I guess we should look outside more closely tomorrow but no apparent damage.

I love your posts! What on earth made the peas explode? I remember my dad made a whole bunch of beer one year when there was a beer strike. One night during supper, the bottles started to explode - all over the back porch! Boy did it stink! I don't think he ever tried that again.

SA-I agree with the advice given to you by others in our group. Put yourself first, even if that means sellling your house and you and your Mum each renting your own places. I know that sounds extreme but... like everyone else says if you marry or have children or move across the country for your career your Mum will need to stand on her own feet and/or have some help from all of her children and/or social services. Sorry to be so blunt but there is that old Ann Landers advice( you are too young to remember this newspaper advice coumnist)-you can only be taken advantage of, if you allow yourself to be taken advantage of. Maybe not her exact words but that was the gist. Another thing I have often heard is you can't change another person's behaviour-only your own. So change your life into what you want it to be and other's will need to change in response to your change in behaviour-eg not paying for takeout etc. You are young and you need to have some fun-life shouldn't just be about work, stress about money and looking after all the bills??

Avon I do not freeze them, I find they have a much longer expiry then regular milk and within the expiry date I will go through them with no issue. For me the biggest issue is finding room in the fridge. I tried the self stable ones once and did not like them.

That's good that things are okay.
My son is headed in your direction today - first time heading out on a roadtrip on his own, he wants to see the mountains! He'll be camping - I'm a little worried because today is supposed to still be a wet one in AB. He's wanting to get to Canmore, Calgary, and maybe Banff.
We're supposed to get rain as well today, which is fine with everyone!
Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Good morning, everyone!
I thought I'd repost my QOTD from the July thread. (post #658) I don't think many people saw it with all the baby excitement between Granger and Angela273. Unless of course, you really don't want to answer, and that is ok.
I almost don't want to ask the next question, because it just seems like having another thing around to break. With a growing family of three, I've been thinking about getting a freezer. I don't want a large freezer, the kind you'd have to break walls down to move out of your basement. I'd just be looking for a small to medium sized freezer to store a few things in.
QOTD: Do you have a freezer and what size did you need to feed your family of how many?

SS-no freezer for us-just use the fridge top freezer-family of 3. Natalka-I am sure you son will have a great time-I am actually enjoying the cool/rain after 2 weeks of heat and no rain while away. Hopefully the weather will improve for him.

SS-Years ago had a big chest freezer but found we just wasted stuff. For years I used just the freezer on the bottom of fridge. Then a friend offered a small chest freezer which has been handy. I could always store stuff in my mom's freezer so trying to empty the chest freezer so we aren't paying for hydro for it (its old) I would love a nice upright one but don't thing the size I want will fit in basement (getting down stairs) I am thinking about buying a new fridge for the basement to store the extra veggies, etc. I have been thinking about this for awhile.

@sweet sparrow we have a medium sized chest freezer and an old upright, we are a family of 4 very big meat eaters. When everything can fit in 1 I transfer, I have a very organized system that works for both freezers and we don't waste. I would suggest a upright vs. a chest as it's easier to maneuver, I think it's a wise investment to stock up on more sales, etc.
