Friday Poll

I am finding that I have to drink milk. As in, glasses of straight-up milk.

Except, I don't like milk shots. So, I have to flavor it with something, and the current choice is Ovaltine, which actually tastes pretty good and has more nutrients than I thought.

I find that people fall into one of two camps: they can't stand drinking plain milk, or they think it's the most refreshing thing evah.

Which camp do you belong to?

When I was a kid, I drank milk with everything. and then I became lactose intolerant. The only time I ever have any is when there is an oreo or chocolate chip cookie in it. But I used to think it was the best stuff in the world. Ovaltine is pretty cool. Makes me think of A Christmas Story.

You know, I am just one of those rare people that can do both. I guess it just depends on the day... somedays, no milk. Just booze.

You're probably going to think "Eeew gross" like my husband & everyone does but I can't stand the taste of any other milk but diluted evaporated milk. My husband and kids love the regular 1% stuff but I think it's nasty.

I love milk, but I don't think it's the most refreshing thing ever. I like it with certain things (enchiladas, fried chicken, chocolate, PB&J, sometimes pasta). I'll drink it on its own sometimes, like if I have to take meds or if I want some calcium. But I like water, I like orange juice, I like V8, I like wine. I like diet coke too much.

I can't stand drinking milk, and only drink it when absolutely necessary.

Yummy milk. I admint I prefer Kroger brand.

Stay away from wallymarts brand-it is full of hormones that get little girls to starting really early if you know what I mean.

I love milk although like J, I wouldn't describe it as refreshing. When I was a kid I loooooooooved drinking milk & Pepsi. It tasted like fizzy chocolate milk to me. Try it! Mmmmmmm.

Hate it. Grew up relatively poor'ish, so my mother used to cut regular milk with Carnation dried milk. Oh, blech, blech, blech. Never got over it. Can only drink it straight with a rich, rich brownie.

Plain mostly, but who can resist chocolate milk?

I hardly ever have just plain milk. It seems weird to me to drink something that's meant for baby cows. Although I love cheese.

Onward

The end of the school year, finally! Did I tell you that my son went to public school this past year? Did I tell you that my daughter was in a regular Kinder classroom this year? Although it was nice to have them both in school, there were definitely things I was not so hip on, such as having to wake up at 5:20 every morning just to get everyone out the door on time.  And then after all the driving and dropping off, going to work. Such fun! I had forgotten the dreariness of having to complete mounds and mounds of homework (even though new research has shown that homework, especially for Kinder, is for shit).  Of constant deadlines and fundraisers and things I am supposed to volunteer for. My daughter had a good year, but was definitely not without its bumps. Her teacher, an older, highly experienced, practical woman with a Master's in Education, kept referring to my daughter as an "inclusion student."  It wasn't her name or just "student" but was...

Apples and Oranges

Perhaps some of you may have noticed, but the real estate market is beginning a tumble in prices that benefit us, prospective buyers. And we're going to wait. That is cold, cold comfort to those such as J and Py , who are attempting to sell their place as we speak. But, we're not going to wait too much longer, if that makes them feel any better. There is no sense trying to time the bottom of the market, and we have been putting off moving, oh, since Mr. P was born because of the huge runup in prices. So huge that at one point, we could barely afford to buy our own place from ourselves. We should be ok even if we sell at a lower price than we could have gotten say, two years ago. We have, however, a dilemma. We have narrowed our choices down to two cities. And we are stuck there. We just can't figure out which city is better, and they are oh-so-different. Let me give you a rundown. City 1 Older, smaller houses (in our price range) Larger lots Beach city Infrastructure...

D-A-N-G

As with all young children, for a very long time we parents rely on the old "spell the word out" trick for talking about things in front of them that we don't want them to know. Well, our time seems just about up. Hubba-hubba was trying to tell me about an upcoming event in which Santa would be making an appearance. As Mr. P is very much into Christmas this year, we knew that any mention of Santa would bring a long soliliquoy about how Santa is magic and how he makes the toys and how he has a list and on and on and on. And at that moment, we just didn't feel like hearing it. Don't judge people, don't judge. So, Hubba-hubba spelled out "S-A-N-T-A." "Hey, what did you just say?" said the five year old. "Nothing" lied replied his father. "I know what you said, Daddy! You said Santa!" Anybody know a place that sells semaphore flags?
