Seems to be common, we definitely had covers for our hands back in the early 90s. My mom used to be a teaching assistant and was given a typewriter that had blank keys, maybe that was more common in the 1960s.

I think that’s pretty normal. I know my husband says that his typing improved back when he was using AOL Instant Messenger all the time in college.

It definitely starts before two, I’ve got a 19 month old that is seriously frustrated that I can’t understand him. My 3.5 year old is great at using her words to express her emotion but she uses it for procrastination. “I can’t get in my car seat until I calm down.” “I can’t get dressed until I stop being angry.” “I…

First time I got the recall notice (2005 Toyota Matrix) I tried to get it fixed and they said they didn’t have the parts yet. Then I followed up a few months later and felt like they were chastising me for not bringing it in earlier. Now I just got another recall notice saying that I needed to get it fixed all over…

I don’t know, seems like a lot to me. I’m an environmental engineer and my firm works on a lot of litigation support cases where our owner (a PhD chemist) is the expert witness. I’m pretty sure he charges $350/hour, but there are different rates for deposition testimony and trial than just writing the Expert Report.

I do, I get up at 5:20, do a 20 to 30 minute youtube workout, make breakfast, and eat it while I watch 15 minutes of HGTV with my coffee. I try to be showered before the kids get up around 6:45AM. That “me” time is critical. I’m too tired at night to appreciate that hour after I get them in bed before I pass out.

The first reformer studio I visited required a one hour intro class that inlt had a couple srudents so you could learn how to use rhe straps, adjust the weights, and learn the basic moves. They had a fairly prescribed warm up and then sets of moves in the same position. They also offered a cardio class with a…

Man, he was the best in that movie!

We had an antibiotic once that turned the baby’s poo a shade of maroon but luckily the doctor warned us in advance. It wasn’t even in the drug info.

It’s so hard to prove someone is truly discriminating. They can always find some other cause to blame it on. My cousin’s husband recently lost his job as director of a community foundation, likely because the board just really didn’t like that he was gay. (oh so Ohio) He’d fundraised more every single year that he’d…

Similarly, I’ve started recording my three year singing Happy Birthday for everyone and sending out that video. She’s obsessed with birthdays and always wants to know who’s birthday is next on the calendar.

Need to look into this. It’s just such a pain to mail cards more than once a year. We’re excellent at christmas and fall off the wagon every other time.

This sounds like a great idea. I HATE writing thank you notes but I know that all of my older relatives think we absolutely have to do it or we’re just being ungrateful.

If I was an accountant instead of an engineer I would feel really creeped out right now. Our children are the exact same ages and our morning routine sounds identical. I’m glad my overtime is a bit more sporadic though. I’d love tiki get my husband to pitchin a bit more though, especially since he’s been unemployed…

I also had all those teeth pulled. After two years of wearing a mouth piece and then three years of braces. But I could never keep a retainer in at night and now my bottom teeth are shifting. Oh well, it’s still better than it could’ve been.

If only I’d gotten this category, maybe I wouldn’t have come in third. (It was actually my inability to ring in that tripped me up. The producers tried to coach me during every break.) My husband was right, I didn’t need to study, I just needed to play street fighter.

I’m guessing it’s Rhiannon with a B at the beginning.

I had the super sleeper too. I had roo wake her to eat as a newborn but she was up twice a night from 8 to 14 months. We had to night wean her to get her sleeping through the night again.

I just listened to this audiobook earlier in the year. The son is a total douchebag so I hope they focus on her story and not his. I really liked the story of the empty nest MILF and her new friendships when she takes a community college class.

Even though my husband is unemployed I give to the local diaper bank every month. When I have the opportunity, I also give boxes of diapers (along with tampons and laundry detergent) to the local domestic abuse charity.
