As long as you react to stuff like this he'll keep doing it! Forget it. It just isn't worth the stress. He's trying to get attention. Don't give it to him for negative stuff, only positive. Be consistent and he'll stop doing it.Quote:

And if I'm really being serious about something then later he will get mad. But because he acts like things are no big deal to him and he don't care, does that make it true? Because the look in his eyes or something, or the feeling I get from him is like "please tell me you are joking" Or "i know your just joking" but he just won't show it.Quote:

Wondergirl is online right now. I am sure that she knows that you are online, too.
I'm here. I am working on a grocery list for shopping tomorrow. Any suggestions?
Hey, kiddo! How are you doing? I see that you might take some of my advice. Great! I'm proud of you for being willing to step outside of your usual way of dealing with things and trying something new.
How was school today? Sorry I was late, but my daughter just lost her first job and she needed extra love tonight. :) What can you tell me about something positive or good today?
Hope to hear from you soon...
Hugs, Didi
Hey Wondergirl... What are you shopping for? A week, or a couple of meals? I'll tell you what I've been doing lately that's quick, easy and real tasty!
Hugs, Didi
I'll be buying some basics like bread and milk and eggs mostly. What is quick, easy, and tasty?
I cut up a boneless, skinless chicken breast and fry it on medium high heat, in a very small bit (just to coat the pan) of olive oil and garlic. You can put in a teaspoon or so of water from time to time as it cooks which helps make a nice rich sauce later. When it is nearly cooked, I turn up the heat to high, add a tablespoon of butter, a handful or two of sliced mushrooms, some green, red and yellow peppers sliced, and a clove or two of garlic. As it cooks down, it makes a wonderful sauce with the juices from the chicken. If you want to boil a small new potato in a separate pot, then add 3 or 4 sprigs of asparagus just prior to serving. I put all the veggies and chicken on the plate (looks VERY pretty), drizzle the sauce over top and sometimes I shred a wee bit of marble or cheddar cheese over the top. It's to die for!
Oh, I crush the garlic... :)
Actually... he has kind of quit. I guess something just changed me over the summer and I didn't care as much about some stuff because I knew it wasn't true... then as soon as school starts up I almost always change again and worry about everything.
Like now if he says something to try and make me mad or whatever, I usually just say "i know your lying", or "alright well i'm gonna go then" instead of before when I used to like cry about it oor whatever... but even if I do believe something, now instead of him keep going along with it and making it worse he just says " you know i'm kidding"
Its funny how I figured out his password to stuff and its almost exactly the same as mine.
It's kind of nice not being so stressed about stuff, isn't it? I take it you don't want to answer any of my questions?
That sounds really yummy! I'll give that a try. Thanks.
Sometime try Puffy Chicken -- skinless boneless chicken breasts "frosted" with a mixture of mayo, grated onion, grated Parmesan cheese, and a shake of dried parsley flakes. Line baking pan with foil for easier clean-up. Bake at 350 for half hour until browned and bubbly, then turn down oven to 200 or so while you finish up side dishes. Is good reheated (so I make a lot at one time) or cut into cubes and mixed with lettuce and your favorite salad ingredients such as boiled egg slices or cheese chunks, etc.
Even Clough could make Puffy Chicken and not fail.
Macaroni and cheese! Works great for me! Fail safe! Unless, you might like to try one of my "experiments" in other "things!" I'm also really good at pouring beverages and boiling water! :DQuote:

Br, I'd ignore him and just talk about something else with him. Totally skip any comments about any of that stuff. Like my mom used to say when my little brother annoyed me, Just ignore him and he will go away or switch gears to something else. She was right, and it still works on people.
Do you like to cook or bake things, Michelle?
Hmmmmmmmmmm, Clough. And how do you make mac and cheese, pray tell?
I don't have the pateince for cooking. It makes me hungry and then I can't wait for food to get done and when I'm the one cooking it, its right there in front of me, torturing me. Lol. Other than that I don't mind
Hmmmmm... you know of Clough's cooking experiences?? Do tell! :pQuote:

Hahaha! For me, when I cook big meals, like roast beef (which I call roast beast), turkey, spaghetti, lasagna, etc. I get full just smelling the food cooking for hours! By the time it's done, I have no desire to eat. Mind you, that's why I'm fat now. I spend more time on the computer and less time on good food. Sigh...Quote:

Is your mac and cheese from scratch?--you grate the cheeses and bake the mac and cheese together in the oven so the edges get brown and crusty?
I get my report card tomorrow... I will let you know what I get on it... do far I know I have a b- in my jurnalism class, D in algebra, and whatever 77% is in psychology... I'm not sure about my other 2 classes but I'm probably failing those 2. I don't know though. I thought I would be failing psychology but I'm not
What have you been doing right that you aren't failing?
Patience is something that you practice doing. It's like anything else that is good to learn. You can do anything that is safe to do, as long as you try and also listen to the advice of others who might be trying to teach you if you are having someone try to teach you. Please remember that.Quote:

Mmmmmm... cheese, garlic, mushrooms... great mixture! :) All this talk of food got to me. I just ate a bowl of homemade cheese tortellini in a ground beef, sausage, mushroom, garlic, tomato sauce. :) See... that's why I'm fat! Hahaha!Quote:

I can't just say " i need all A's" and it happens... it just so seems that when I don't think about it and think that I need to do something, it happens without me even tryingQuote:

Br, your thinking MUST change the way you do something.
Clough, "meet"?
You passed algebra!! Woohoo! Oh, man, do I ever miss taking journalism class. You have a pretty good mark! How the heck do you think you are failing psychology then end up with a 77%?? That's a great mark when you have problems concentrating. Although, I know you have a good mind. I have seen some of your other posts on here, and you really know how to think things out and present it well when you are interested.Quote:

"Roast beast." I love it! :pQuote:

I thought I would fail it but then he told me I had a 77% and I was shocked.
Like some how, lately I haven't been trying to pay attention but I just am... and I used to drink too much pop but I was like "waters better" and then one day I drank water, and ever since I almost never drink pop. And its not like I want it but drink water instead... I don't want it and want water instead, MOST OF THE TIME
Your making me hungry and I ate like a cow today. Most days I don't eat but a small plate for dinner and that's all... today, I just wanted to feel full. And I ate do much
