Lead paint is something else that lurk under newer paint. If you want to uncover what you think is "gorgeous" wood, understand that you may find lead paint under the outer coat.

God no. I lost weight through diet but it was wasn't noticeable until I started working out and the overall package of my body shrank. I hated the comments. HATED THEM. They made me feel horrible about how I looked before and made me wonder what people really thought of me. I think the only time it is…

In the summer of 2012, a triathlete was training in a lake here in MN and was attacked by an otter. She had over 30 bites and her wetsuit saved her life. The state DNR was astounded. It was horrible.

I did this a week or so ago at the grocery store. It was really busy and someone took my parking spot. Totally cut me off and I had to spend another ten minutes or so looking for/waiting for a spot. I was pretty irate. Then in the check out lane, I let someone with three things go ahead of me - I had a cart full. It…

They have a stout reduction and whiskey caramel sauce. Buzzfeed had a list of desserts made with alcohol. I'm going to leave the sauce off of half the brownies in case the kids want some.

It's been awful. I've leaned that even a little dairy makes me fart something awful. My 9 yo son is disgusted and impressed. I've had to give up my morning English muffin because the little butter spread is enough to trigger an episode. I bought some vegan butter substitute today. I've been using the CoffeeMate in my…

Nope. Mom of two kids with full time job. No more getting drunk for rando holidays. Though I'm sure people in my neighborhood will. Irish-ish bar up the street. Though, I'm going to make boozy brownies later. And you can get wasted on wine pretty easily. Seriously.

Yeah, office politics are a pain. I moved groups within a large corp and landed smacked dab in the middle of a turf war and inter-personal conflicts. It's terrific. I had to use my Angry Mom with someone. Ugh.

I left a floater at work the other day (my area has only two stalls for the ladies) without realizing it and someone walked in the stall, did a snotty throat clear, and flushed again. Awesome sauce.

No Internet abuse. No swearing. Talk to people who've been there awhile to get an idea of the culture and any interoffice politics. Avoid taking sides. Do your job. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Good luck!

I hate her. She has blood and suffering on her hands.

Immodium v. Ex-Lax is genius.

Minnesota. A lot of districts around do this.

My son's district has progressively later start times for elementary middle and high school. It's so smart.

He has a vampire fetish. His truck was the "Twilight Express" and he wore fake fangs. Our local paper indicated that he wanted his victims to do the same. He used a damn Dremel tool.

The answer is - nothing. In all her time in Congress she introduced one piece of legislation - something about lightbulbs. She's done nothing for MN. Unless you count making our state a laughingstock and taking press away from those people who were actually doing things to benefit MN or the country. Oh, she helped get…

Until I just went to IMDB, I honestly thought she was the girl from True Grit with an Oscar nomination who was in Ender's Game. Wow.

Someone tell me that I can buy that coat and still pay my mortgage for the next year.

Wow. They still make rotary phones?

Blue food coloring makes my kids poop green. Bright green.
