    Not a fake website, they "pay rent" by sending me a payment from their online banking. It's essentially them writing me a check, but they do it digitally. Then they see me get the payment in the mail, and then I deposit it. It's about them learning to pay bills, and also about them seeing my...

    They all have chores - vacuum cars, mow lawn, etc. They also get the full $100, they have to go online and use bill pay to pay rent and such. Trying to teach budgeting and so forth. Seems to be working. The twins are paying a little each month toward their car insurance now that they are driving...

    My oldest kids were told early that the tooth fairy was fake, and it was just your parents giving you money for teeth. They spoiled all their younger siblings, so the tooth fairy is absolutely not a thing in our house. The kids bring teeth to us and ask for money. Money is a funny thing with...

    Home Improvement

    Open the fridge, the island is immediately behind you - going to be 4 x 6 feet. That's enough open space near the fridge I think. The stove is going to be not that close to the sink, but I'm going to have a pot-filler faucet at the oven.

    No, actually. Sink is going into a bump-out section with three windows. It's independent of the house, though part of the foundation, so I can vent right out the ceiling, don't have to go through second story. It's right on my deck, you don't think I'll have sewer smell, do you?

    Home Improvement

    Starting to move things around in my kitchen. One exterior wall is three floor to ceiling windows. They're changing to half windows and the sink/dishwasher are moving there. Then I'm getting rid of my in-wall ovens and putting in a 6 burner range. Then my island doubles in size, and I'll be...

    Chef's Table

    The first season was amazing and awe inspiring. The subsequent seasons have been lack-luster. I would still recommend it to anyone who likes cooking. Don't think you're going to get recipes, this is about the philosophy of cooking for different folks.

    You should really make muffins inside an orange peel in the camp fire. They're awesome for breakfast. Try it - make a bunch extra so you can take one out and see if it is done, and if it's not, give yourself three more tries. They're so delicious. Campfire Cooking – Our Favorite Campfire Desserts

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    At one point we had twin 3 years olds, a 1 and a bit year old, and an infant. Those were difficult years. However, now, my oldest four are really tight. Three are on the same track team, and they are all pretty equal in their athletic ability, and so family soccer is a riot. My youngest is the...

    Coffee Thread

    I have had several friends - 4 or 5 - who had an in-machine grinder. Every single one of them had the same thing to say about it: so much cleaning up, have to do it so often or it doesn't all get to where it needs to be, and ends up making weak, crappy coffee. I love the morning timer thing, but...

    You might want to report this to your local police and have them document it so if any shit goes down in your house later, you can explain the blood splatters.

    Got a vehicle for the 16 year old twins to share today. 1996 Volvo 850. Only 65,000 miles, one owner, in great shape. It's a tank, it's a great car for safety, and I think it will serve us well. In other news, my truck now has a dented forward quarter panel and I need to replace some trim...

    It was, I just couldn't remember the name. They were pretty good, worked well on short order if you had a huge number of people coming without much planning, and it was tasty. Don't know why they closed here, they were super busy.

    They used to have a pizza place here where they would assemble your pizza with the toppings you ask for and wrap it so you took it home and baked it. They had awesome toppings, and it took about 4 minutes to get a totally custom pizza and costed $10 for an extra large. I miss that place.
