We made that EXACT recipe in Home Ec when I was in middle school in the early '80s! Also, lemon Jello with shredded carrots in it... weirdly good.

I think you handled it FINE. Your cousin should have taught them some respect for living things!! (Especially by the age of six!! WTF?!?)

I agree with you! Especially when the child is not old enough to have developed language or logic skills, and the "Don't do that, Johnny" WON'T WORK. And NO, I am NOT advocating beating your child! There is a BIG difference between that and a quick swat across the bum for misbehaving! When I was a child, It was the…

Thank you for this! It's refreshing to see a curvy lady like Aishwarya Rai in these designs look as stunning as she does. It gives this plump shortie hope that she could look that hawt! :)

Meh. I'll keep my Dr. Pepper and just add a cranberry chaser...

I concur, but would change that refridge time to two hours, not four.... as per them Mayo Clinic dudes...

Sounds like my father when I was in college. We would make the Taco Bell dinner run on the way home from class, and always get Dads the Nachos Bel Grande. He always told us to "leave it on the kitchen counter, and I'll get it later." Sometimes "later" was SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT HOURS LATER..... but he never got sick!…

Nope, I'm with you on all of your examples!! They are being rude!

Did you miss all of the racist furor when Hunger Games came out and a bunch of people who can't read for detail found out Rue was black?

To be fair, I have to admit my Rural-Georgia-Small-Town Gramma did the same thing! she would tie ribbons around the handles of the shopping bags, and do the four-way-strap&bow wrap with ribbon around the white shirt boxes the stores gave you. Cost: basically free, considering she recycled ribbon and bows from year to…

But the point was to see WHERE the gifts were BOUGHT. It's all about the designers, DAHLINK!!! *gag*

Or made to STAND UP THE ENTIRE FLIGHT. Nightmarish!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE you.... I am FIGHTING against the electronic creep in my classroom. I have to argue with parents that yes, I want you to go buy your child the $7 paperback novel, and NO, I won't allow your kid to bring his Kindle or Nook or Ipad. NO. I do NOT want the hassle of dealing with stolen or broken electronics…

I highly recommend Cute Overload for any of those "Gahhh, I need mind-bleach NOW" moments...

Yes! This! And the crap that it has to have upper & lower & numbers & punctuation, etc.... and just recently we can't re-use any of our last FIVE passwords!! I don't have to time to keep track of that crap!! So, YEP, it's all on a post-it in the drawer!!!

A few strands of TWINKLE, not full-on blink, mixed in with steady-on, placed on the tree going up and down, so you dont get that half-and-half look. Oh, and make sure to get a bunch of lites INSIDE the tree, by the trunk so it has that inner glow.... yes, I'm super rediculous-picky about my tree lights. Mr. Fabulosa…

Awww! Pugalicious! 16 years as a vet tech, never met a pug I didn't like :) *pugglesnuggle*

Hugs to you from a stranger on tha Interwebz. I have had depression in the past, so I can sympathize. Volunteering is actually an excellent idea. Depression is no joke, and you should not sit home and stew in it. I concur with the other poster, don't actually adopt a pet that you cannot afford to care for, but you can…

When I was a vet tech, we described them as "Baked potatoes with legs".

I assigned my 7th graders ten journal entries from the point of view of one of the characters from the novel we were reading. One student turned in 5 pages of notebook paper turned sideways and stapled in the middle to make a little book. Each page had a printout in "Bradley Hand" font, trimmed to size and pasted in…
