I will embrace that stereotype, as I love macadamia nuts.

I've lived all over the country, so I really don't have an accent - but I do have an excellent collection of regional words in my standard lexicon. One of the interesting perks of my job is that I am constantly on the phone with people from the UK. I cannot identify the regions but I am really starting to notice the…

Extreme Make Over Weight Loss did the at home over the course of a year. It wasn't perfect but better than Biggest Loser in many respects.

Ah, that's so sweet. My husband is a big guy with facial hair and our first was a tiny thing - the juxtaposition of the two of them was so perfect. Whenever I go to pick up my kids at school or drop them off, I marvel at how many fathers are doing the same. When I was a kid, it was all moms. Makes me a little…

That's so great. My dad took off on a fishing trip a week after my sister was born and I was only two. I have a lot of respect for single moms - parenting is hard.

Yep. I wouldn't have made it through the first week after each kid if not for my husband being there. Especially the first who had to be re-hospitalized a few days after birth - I was a WRECK.

My favorite memory of the birth of my son is the next day, the little dude sleeping on daddy's chest. People of a certain generation really discount how important a good relationship with their father is to a child. I know my kids adore their dad and love spending time with him. Much more so than I did at their…

It is a little weird when your kids' height lines up with your genitals or boobs. My son, who is a big hugger, was at boob level for a long time and it was awkward. And my daughter head-butted my husband in the genitals so many times when she was longer - she would run at full speed and crashed right into him. He…

You can get four in the kid's meal. And maybe on the dollar menu.

In college I was a cook at a local bar/pizza bar place. This was a very small town so there was only one. One of the owner's buddy hung out and bar tended a bit. He was an overgrown man child which is why his wife was leaving him. He had a habit of tickling the girls (teenagers) and me while we worked and being grabby…

Thanks! That's really interesting. I don't know much about how labels design and create clothes.

Does she actually design the clothes or does she have designers on staff that do the actual creative work, or is it a combination of both?

A shockingly large number of people. Both in regards to their personal computers at home and at businesses of every size. The number of machines still using XP is mind bogglingly huge. Not necessarily on this website, but in the general public? There's a lot. My mom who uses her PC for email and online shopping…

That makes sense. And elevated on a rake so the air/heat circulate around them. That's what I do for panko crusted chicken "nuggets" at home.

Any thoughts on whether these could be baked instead of fried?

We actually put the pillows under the head of the mattress. So it's more of that gentle incline - but I'll double check that she's not too bent. That's a great tip. Thanks!

My daughter has reflux - she coughs at night so much she vomits. She also had pain in her chest so bad I thought she had something wrong with her heart. We do periodic medication - generic Prilosec prescription. The foods her doctor warned us about - coffee, dark chocolate, and soda/juice. We prop her pillows up at…

So sorry about the fertility merry-go-round. And work. I had similar issues this week and, for fuck's sake, grow up people. No running here either because of plantar fascititis. My mother is here and so is my period.

I have a MBTV messenger bag. I still remember laughing so hard at Pamie's Popstars recaps I may have peed my pants.

There are Hardee's in Iowa and Minnesota. The only time I would go there was when I was hungover and craving grease and salt.
