Added up, this can be $5-$10/day, depending on where its purchased. Dunno. Maybe it's nothing to be concerned about, but over a months time it's well over a $100 expense.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07213023618638234126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211674678201251588.post-77599432667370801742015-06-20T13:49:34.444-07:002015-06-20T13:49:34.444-07:00Congratulations to your daughter and to you!

But I couldn't figure it out and so - I went online. I did a search for the exact math problem and can you beleive everyone I encountered said the same thing - this question was rediculouse.<br />But finally I found someone who explained it and even though the answer they gave was wrong - I corrected it, I sent a long letter to her teacher (no reply yet).William https://www.blogger.com/profile/05066804940013763985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211674678201251588.post-71169979418228497012014-04-08T04:53:02.299-07:002014-04-08T04:53:02.299-07:00That's a lot of stuff going on.

While I have been in a relationship for almost 2 years, starting over with a kid or kids is definitely not easy... barely enough time to see each other let alone have a relationship. But us single parents, we really do need companionship with another adult. Hopefully you won't be too busy to post every so often! Life WILL change!

The dizzy-ing aspect fades as you get to know each other and the newness settle. But in the best circumstance you will continue to appreciate just how good the fit can be!

No one at my house drinks coffee but when we have visitors it would be nice to have something on hand. So far it has been a hit with all of my guests. I've also used it a few times for cocoa or hot water just as you explained.
