In addition to what people said below about activities, in areas like Denver and Boulder, there is easier access to healthy, fresh food than in a lot of places. Also, I think there is an element of doing what other people do- so if people around you are eating less and/or healthier, you will adopt those habits, too. …

Her reluctance is more a product of her age than anything - she's only 5. My son doesn't want to do the scouts because he just doesn't have any interest scouting activities - he's not interested in building, camping, etc. He's more into theater, choir, and wants to learn coding.

But, seriously, how are the cookies?

Oh, I hope we get it. I don't like their meats so this will be something new to try.

Post-race (running or Tri) often beer is all I can stomach. Except after my half, then I just wanted to die.

After a fashion, I guess.

But, they are treating a marriage between two women with the same contempt and stupidity that they treat marriages/relationships between members of the opposite sex. So, progress?

Yes, they do pick and choose. And they also pick and choose which translation of the Bible they use, as well.

I've never felt "bad" about being a member of my church. And my particular church does so much for the community without being overtly in your face with their religion. My husband, who is not Lutheran or even Christian, likes going there. When I was doing my new member class there were several people who weren't…

All of this. Or a picture of dad with his colicky infant daughter sleeping on his chest after her second middle of the night feeding that he took on every other night for close to a year. Or that same girl putting ribbons in his beard to make him "look like a princess pony". Let's show dads doing what they actually…

There are three main types/synods of Lutherans (and several smaller groups or stand alone churches) - ELCA, Missouri, and Wisconsin synods. I don't know if the Missouri and Wisconsin synods would be consider evangelical, but they are super hardline conservative. They would most definitely be opposed to same-sex…

That's Joan Trattoria to you. :)

What is this sofritas I've heard about but not seen?

That's similar to what happened to a couple I knew in college. There was gum - I believe someone was trying the Big Red thing but forgot to spit it out. So, there was gum and pubic hair. And pulling. And screaming. Plus, this happened on an official school trip so lots and lots of people knew.

It's not just beer - but EGG WHITES AND BEER. So, to recap: wasted beer, wasted egg, giant mess, and two weeks spent wondering if you are going to salmonella from the raw egg..

What if you prefer jelly or cream filled donuts? Do you use the little hole from where the bakery filled the donut? Stick it on there like a weird donut-dick lollipop?

They may be able to serve their sentences consecutively as opposed to at the same time. I think Gov. Blago got that deal or Rep. Jackson - someone involved in the Illinois political mess did. One parent served their time and then the other did to avoid disruption for their children.

Scrolling down too fast I read "Allison Williams" as "Anson Williams" and was expecting to see Potsy Webber.

The last time I looked at their training plans the quality was suspect and it was nearly impossible to get ride of one. I hope that has changed.

Your comment is ironic given this big article I read over the weekend about the Trail Scout or some stupid thing like that. They are the Christian right's answer to the BSA allowing opening gay boys in troops. Some parents feel that is a bridge too far so they've started a knock-off group that is more hardline…
