I decided to keep my maiden name even though it is longer and more complicated to say than my DH's name. But I liked mine more than his so I kept it...

I kept mine too. Both names are easy to say but I like my name the way it has always been. Doesn't sound right with anything else.

Don't most kitchen scales have grams and ounces

Kitchen scales? I do a lot of cooking, but I don't have a kitchen scale.

I have one. I use it mostly to measure out recommended food portions/serving size. I thought this was standard equipment.

I don't cook often but when I do I like precise measurements. Can't do it without a recipe.

Is2116...

Try not to stress over the dentist...hopefully it will be easy and painless physically and to the checkbook.

No I had my DH with me, First time called my son he came with truck and trailer but tonight he was well attached to the bathroom so I really didn't want him out or around us......like I needed that to start my week. My DH is waiting for shoulder surgery due to rotator cuff so his lifting and movements are limited *sigh*. I have been bless to find helpful people around both days to help us....it revives my hope that there are people out there willing to give and help others yet *big smile*

I'm going to dentist in the morning anxiety mounting but maybe it wont be so bad I hope.

Rhonnie were you by yourself when you got stuck? Sorry to hear about the repairs. I know they can add up quickly. Hope your week goes better.

Kris:

kitchen scales have grams and ounces and measuring cups ml and ounces? The ones I have have both.

Around the people I know they don't have kitchen scales it seems. I know some have them but never use them. I just went and got me a new one that does the grams and ounces when I started selling my eggs. After getting comfortable I started using it more for various things like bread making and anything else I can think of.

I have to say with my drama full weekend I am glad to be able to read thru some of these post and laugh a litttle. I have managed to have the priveledge to not get stranded once this weekend but twice. It seems when its not convient for anyone including me. I am 3 days behind on erronds and 3 days oif stress daily added. I have taken a little time each day to find my machine and do something....its cheaper than sleeping pills or muscle relaxers.

I won't explain the horrid weekend *pulls hair out* just highlights. My truck left me stranded thanks to the altenator and battery not once but twice. Atleast the first time I had a good lunch at a small local bar I had never been to. Then I cut my fabric wrong for my next project. I couldn't stop there I had to dump rabbit poo down the front of me including in my shoe. Today after long meeting I managed to find out oh yeah the battery you replaced on Friday isn't the problem its the altenator.....*screams why my fabric money*. I am hoping that when I get up in the morning the new week will be better than this last week I only spoke here of 3 days I don't want to remember the other 4 days of the week.

Kitchen scales? I do a lot of cooking, but I don't have a kitchen scale.

We didn't either until DH started making no-knead bread. You need a scale to measure the flour accurately for breadmaking.

I'm actually using it a lot right now for portion control on my New Year healthy eating plan. It really helps with measuring how many ounces are in a serving.
