One of my kids absolutely loves their little kids make your own taco kits. Except she does not like meat, so she gets guacamole instead. That throws everyone for a loop - even though it is on the kids' menu.

Chipotle pricing is a great mystery of the world. We order almost the same thing every time (family of four) and the cost varies so widely, we've turned it into a guessing game.

Don't be afraid to try something big either, if that is what works for you. I started losing weight using Lose It a few years ago. Then I won a contest/performance award at work and used the money to buy a bike (I used to road cycle before kids). A few days later, I registered for a sprint triathlon. With my…

Me too! I check my heart rate once and awhile if I am running on a treadmill and according to the chart on the screen, I should get off and call an ambulance.

Most of the tri's I do locally have a "no nudity" rule for transition. If you violate it, you get a time penalty.

Per the very excited NBC play by play announcer, they have stopped trying to lower their heart rates and, instead, concentrate on learning how to shoot with an elevated heart rate. Big sea change, I gather, for biathlon.

Just pull it out slowly and don't yank too hard if it snags. A big wet hairball in the face is so gross.

I showed my kid that video clip and he won't stop singing that song. We offered the kids a choice of movie this weekend - Lego or Frozen, the sing-a-long version. Both kids picked Lego movie - even my daughter who has all the songs memorized and is working on that multi-language version of Let It Go.

It wasn't 12 weeks. That's how long they are at the ranch. And then they are home afterwards while the episodes air so they can be on the live finale. That's part of the "contest" - how well people do with incorporating the eating and exercise programs into their regular lives.

Cold water and conditioner. Read it on here, I think, and used it on my son a few weeks ago.

Exactly. This method is in most of the baby books I read. It's not revolutionary or new.

That's the pits. I got hooked on a series and the last book wasn't on the app so I had to buy it. Drove me batty.

We do use celery. Also those mini sweet peppers are good. We've never used rotisserie chicken - I will have to try that instead of the canned. Bleu cheese crumbles are a must as well as dressing. Ranch is verboten. Ugh. So wrong. It may be low brow but that doesn't mean it isn't good eating.

Stupid double post.

Exactly. I have access to a city and county library system. It's great for ebooks and actual facilities.

Surly's Hell is a beautiful lager. Not sure how far beyond MN they sell now, but it is a great beer for when you don't want something heavy or too hoppy.

I'm really lucky that my city's library is tied into a larger regional library system so I use their physical locations as well as their online services. I don't use the service as much I should because I don't have an e-reader just a phone so reading on it a bit tricky, but I have found it relatively painless to use…

Fritos Scoops are an excellent vehicle for shoveling this into your mouth as they have a great ladle quality and are structurally sound.

The selection was hit or miss but still, free!

There is also the Overdrive app that a lot of libraries are using to check out e-books. There are some current and catalog books and a huge catalog of classics that are off copyright. They don't always have a ton of copies, like the real library, but the app auto returns your books so no late fees!
