    A note to the toilet paper woman can't HURT! It might not help, but we all want to hear what happens after you do it.

    Dear bad weather,
    Stay where you stayed until now. I want to ride my bicycle without freezing my a** outside. Stationary bike is boring.

    That was a typo on my part, Mimi. It was supposed to say "Don," not "Son." That's what I get for posting first thing in the morning.

    I'm glad you made it, or we wouldn't have gotten to see that fantastic photograph!

    Great news, Mimi!!

    Indy, could you maybe ask building maintenance to put locks on the TP dispensers? A lot of places have those, and then at least you wouldn't have to deal with half-used rolls in the trash.

    You must have good plumbing, anyway. It's a wonder the toilets don't back up.

    This. It's true. Just go with it.

    Dear all, thanks for the muffin mix-in suggestions. If you smell gingerbread muffins fumes coming from the equator, that'll be moi.

    Mimi, you must be thrilled. Don't harass the poor guy! Keep us posted.

    Limewave, putting ourself in time out means you know to self-regulate. I spend most of my time teaching moms and dads how to do this. If you want, I can email you a copy of the "Safe Space" concept, and how it is different from time out. It really works, especially when kids (and parents) know how to use calming strategies when they are in the Safe Space. The article is written for preschool teachers, but I have had several families institute it at home.
    PM me, if you want, with your email.
