    I bought this white chocolate raspberry coffee creamer and it is horrible. I have this huge bottle that I now have to drink. Ugh. What a waste.

    I almost bought this one yesterday. Now I'm super glad I didn't. Coffee creamer is always a hit or a miss

    @mamrotu73‌ - My husband keeps plotting to build a train table, too. But I don't think his crafty skills are up to yours, so I'm trying to convince him we should just buy one. :P

    @celticlullaby‌ I used the plans from Ana White (https://ana-white.com/2010/12/moms-train-table). Super easy. She gives a shopping list, cut list, and step by step instructions with pictures.

    I left off the bottom shelf since we used to sit at it sometimes when it was our coffee table. I think I'll add bins underneath when I convert it. I'll also felt the inside and maybe change out the top trim (because the movers broke one piece off).
    I LOVE Ana White!!!

    DH got a $300 refund check from his credit card today and cloth diaper black friday deals are being announced today. I totally need more diapers right?

    Where?
    Dirty Diaper Laundry has a really good list of them on her site. Grovia also just sent me their deals which I'm very excited for, they are doing buy 2 get 1 free on a lot of their stuff.

    Add me to the party animal at 4:30 am group... Hopefully he isn't a total beast at daycare today.

    I'm sorry! When she did this, one of us will let the other sleep in and then give whoever didn't sleep in a nap later. It's a pretty good system. :)

    My grandmother calls Alzheimer's disease "old-timers disease". It's like half funny, half sad.
    My dad's hunting buddies refer to themselves as the Half-Zheimers.  As in, half way to Alzheimer's.

    Why are old people incapable of deciphering lyrics to songs as time goes by? Why do they call things by names that are CLOSE to the actual name but still wrong?

    My mom sings every song as a jumble. 'All about the bass' is more like 'Babbalabba do, baba do, no bubble'. After listening to her call Swiffer 'Swifter' and Carter's 'Hosh Kosh', I think I need to start keeping a journal of her special words. It's hilarious!

    Both my parents do this. English is not our first language, so it's funny the way they say some english words. For example, instead of stainless steel, it's Stanley steel. I can't think of any others but we always laugh when they come up with new ways to say things.

    I posted this in its own thread, but I know that not every RTTer reads other threads. I ran across this video and it is too funny not to share (especially if you have toddlers)!

    Chase has a raised rash on both cheeks. Took him to the dr (my best friend from high schools mom- so I just stopped by her house) last week and she said absolutely just teething rash. They are ugly but don't hurt. Our poor babies they go through so much!
    @Vinny424‌ last week we got 4 ft of snow in buffalo today it's 60 with flooding everywhere. So happy I live just outside of it but the weather is crazy right now!

    So the doc says it's eczema. I'm not convinced, because it's now turned into an all over rash that's raised and not very dry. Ugh, we'll just stop doing a bath every night and slather on the lotion, and see if it gets better. 

    Can teething cause an all-over rash? The doc said he's days away from getting a tooth...sort of happy and sort of terrified.
    We've started slathering LO in aquaphor before PJs to see if it helps.

    Add Evan to the random rashy crowd. @Teresa1896 it sounds like your guy's - prickly and all over (though no real color to his, just little rough bumps). I'm thinking just dry skin since it's crazy dry here. Darn dryness is also making diaper rash and teething rash much more intense. Feel like I can't keep up!

    @OliveOyl2014 What is you and your family's first language?

    My MIL says so many things wrong that annoy me! "guacamola" for one. In Spanish, a double L makes a "y" sound (so, "yuh"), so when she says "quesadilla" or "sopapilla," she just says it with an L sound! Drives me bonkers! She loves talking about sad, horrible things that happen on the news (which is a whole other issue), so if I rhetorically ask, "Why would someone do that??" she says, "Because they're purity evil!" You CANNOT use purity that way. Not an adjective.

    Is it weird that I felt sorry for the naked headless turkey when I was unwrapping it? I've handled plenty of raw meat and poultry but there's something about a turkey that always makes me feel guilty. The size of the bird perhaps?

    @edoliesmom‌ My family is from Croatia and my husband is from Bosnia. I just remembered something my FIL said. We told him that we were expecting and he was so excited. He said he wanted to buy a "seatbelt" for the baby. He meant car seat :)

    Very cool! :) Do Croatia and Bosnia have their own language?

    I have a Ukrainian friend who's been here for about 15 years, and new people that meet him can't tell he has an accent even though it's totally still there. His English is just as good as any well-educated American, but he has slip-ups every now and then. On Facebook the other day he was trying to use the expression "my hands are tied," but instead he said, "my hands are tight." lol

    The languages are almost identical except for a few words here and there. My husband has been here for about 15 years and he has a heavy accent. I was only 3 when we moved here and I have no accent at all. I think the younger you are, the less likely the accent will stick.
    My husband is the same with lots of the phrases used here. He never says the right word. Have you ever seen the videos on YouTube of a guy named DJ Flula (not sure on spelling)? He makes these videos where he talks about some American idioms and how he doesn't understand them. They are hilarious!

    I haven't heard of him or the videos, but I'll go check them out now. Sounds like it could be entertaining! I agree about the younger you are, the less likely the accent will stay. He was 11 I think when he came, so it's there but not super thick. I can especially notice it when he says "work" or "world" because the "wor" sounds more like the word war.

    The one about the party pooper is especially funny!

    I want to say he is from Germany. I think I remember reading that a long time ago.

    @chichi589‌ we are in the same boat! I'm East of you and we got a ton of snow during that storm too. You can't even tell now with all the rain and the 66 degree weather.
