The answer should be yes. Not "how can I get my loved one help?"

facebook – oh look a squirrel

Today has been a day of extremes in our house.  From being up at 5:30 am to quiet at 11 am when David left for a 5 hour period with his mentor.   Then at 6, mom and sis came home from the city. Today has been fairly quiet and evenly keeled.

I learned this afternoon that my young Mr David was using a computer this morning and went on facebook.  again.  So I am blocking facebook at the router level for all but select users in our house.  Frustrating that I have to do that.

buttons, buttons, who has the buttons?

Well, I am either looking for my remote control or I am trying to figure out how to prevent our youngest from pushing every button he can find to anger everyone in the house in one night.

He is ten years old.  He created a facebook account, and we figured that as long as it was monitored, we would be able to keep it under control.  We set the password and told him that an adult needed to log him in to it.  He then started resetting the password for the account.  So I changed the email address associated with the account and told him that one more time would result in the denial of access to facebook.

Simple right?  Nope.  He created another account.  Took away his computer privileges for everything except school work and he started using his brother’s computer.  We told his brother that if David isn’t allowed to use any computer’s so he started locking his computer with the password that we setup.

Simple right?  Nope.  He stole a laptop from his mom.  Yep.  Mom was given a netbook for work and he stole it from our bedroom, which was locked.  Yep.  no idea how he got in there.

So now, we have to redo the lock in our bedroom door. (used to use a skeleton key which he has figured out how to pick)

Time to use the old hasp and padlock option.

 

something cool happened on the way to the zoo – Lasagna Cupcakes

I know, the title has nothing to do with the content of the post, but it got your attention didn’t it?

The other day I was discussing a recipe for “Slow Cooker Lasagna” that I wanted to try.  I had heard about such a thing but never tried it.  So I was going through how I would make such a thing, and just built it like a regular lasagna. Here is a recipe that I modeled…

It turned out very good.  I started it on high.   But next time I would, about 3 hours in, turn the heat to low so it doesn’t burn.

Toward the end of our chat on facebook, I said that I would need to look for a recipe for lasagna cupcakes.

I found one:


Might not seem like a huge thing, I had forgotten the whole conversation until I ran across this post:

I am all about boosting traffic to my little project here. So I look at ways to generate traffic.  Take a look at that post… just come back here when you are done.  Go ahead… I will wait.

 

Good, now, did you catch it?  Lasagna Cupcakes. Yep. Was it serendipitous? I have no idea.  Just thought it was cool for things to be linked like that unintentionally.
