  • I love french toast so much! When I make it at home… I whisk some eggs, milk and Cinnamon… splash the bread on both sides and let it sizzle… I also make a ton extra and freeze the left overs so when I don’t want to destroy my kitchen with mess and dishes… I can just throw em from the freezer into my toaster and bam! Instant awesome breakkie!

    When I make pancakes I use the Jiffy mix recipe for waffles cause I find their thicker and fluff up as opposed to being flat lifeless disks…


  • I have struggled my whole life to ask for help. I’ve always been afraid of inconveniencing the helper, or getting judged about why I don’t know how to do something. I have a fierce independent streak, and have trust issues… what if I ask and then it’s used against me later?

    After I quit drinking, and went to AA, and got a sponsor… I’ve been gradually retraining my brain that it’s okay to reach out and not stay silently struggling (I am told it increases my risk of relapsing). I’ve also always helped when I can to anyone who has asked…

    As other commentators have said, without the ask for help, I wouldn’t know it was needed… and wouldn’t want to assume anything…







  • The hospital will keep sending you bills. Every month, and if you don’t pay that or set up a payment plan with them… they absolutely send it to a collection agency. That law agency will hound you all day every day, phone calls… text messages… Mailing threats and lawyer fees on top of the OG bill.

    Eventually, I know from personal experience… they will take you to debtor’s court. Where you sit in a room full of strangers till your name is called. Then you have to prove how poor you are and they can pause the collection efforts for a period of time… or if the judge believes you can afford something… then your court ordered to pay… or else.


  • So I agree with most of the comments before. When I was young my family used to pile in a car and drove for a couple of days to visit family. Man, if you’ve got kids in the car you want to be sure you’ve got things for them to do. Unoccupied kids (speaking from experience) are distracting. We used to play the “license plate game”. We’d look for novelty plates and try to decipher what they mean, and look for each state plate too. Not sure if your driving alone or with someone.

    I’d also recommend a couple blankets, towels (paper and fabric), a flashlight, and a first aid kit, and a roadside emergency kit too. Bring some cash, and have a backup payment method. Also if alone, make a plan to checkin with family at least daily. Let em know where your at, and where your headed.

    Have fun and stop at cool sights and little touristy places too! Take lots of pictures. Wish you a safe and fun trip!








  • So, I’m no meteorologist, nor am I an expert in cows 🐄. But I’m gonna go out on a limb and say… yes… maybe? Theoretically tornadoes can in fact pick up whole houses… take for example (The wizard of oz). I have also seen on the news whole cars being thrown around. Yikes! 😳 😬…

    I suppose it would have to be a strong enough tornado 🌪️, hitting the area you live exactly, to take the 🐄 and break and enter into your 🏠.

    I’m reminded of the movie Barnyard and the farmer dude’s little tiff with his wife… “course there’s gonna be cows outside! It’s a cow farm!” Lmao
