Oh I feel for you. My grandmother used to give us the greatest stockings when me, my brother, and my cousin T were little. She passed away a year before my cousin S was born, so he never got to experience it. Plus the tradition ended with her. Others have tried, but nobody ever captured the utter thoughtfulness and…

I think you go inside and just do your thing. It's on a timer so it hoses down once you leave. I've heard horror stories of people getting hosed down by accident. I was too chicken to go inside, plus I figured it would be cold because it was November.

Wow. I'm not the only one. I took a knitting class and I was the official idiot of the class. I could barely cast on, let alone knit. I had pink yarn and it looked like I stitched an intestine. So embarrassing.

Thank you. He was a great guy. He was only 56 and full of life. Too soon.

I'm worried about this too. It will be all, "well she was SO OLD, no wonder he left. He needed a younger model."

The Starbucks in Santa Barbara has this too. Kind of a pain, because I really don't want to take my drink into the bathroom with me. I guess I could hurry and finish before they serve it.

Go KPHO! Local news team for the win!

I'm going separately too. The husband doesn't want to travel and there's no room on the planes to see his family so I am going to see mine alone.

Oh I have so much love for this video. Nice web, Mr. Crack Spider, indeed.

I feel your pain. Living in Arizona limits my scarf wearing times immensely, and it makes me sad. Next week when I fly back to the midwest I fully plan on overloading my suitcase with scarves.

The Browns respond. They are sooo horrible. It's so difficult to be from Cleveland sometimes.

Oh this drives me crazy how they set their options for automatic acceptance. I'm in the middle of a project where the DOT is cracking down on all that crap. You have to set up full disclosure and have everything automatically deselected. It's a pain, but I see their point. Why this isn't trickling down into the other…

I've never understood this - those government programs are the very reason these idiots have jobs.

I work for a company that has 30,000 employees, union and non-union, and we have no paid maternity leave. You can use FMLA and pool your vacation, sick time, and if you're smart, remember to sign up for disability and use that for your pay. It's at a reduced rate though, so if you're paycheck to paycheck, you're SOL!…

Ugh. I have that naturally. Why would anyone want to *pay* for it. I hate my teeth.

I know! I really like that crazy SOB. I don't get how that marriage works because I can't stand to be in the same room with someone whose views are so diametrically opposed to mine, let alone marry them.

When I got to Hong Kong, I went to my concierge who helped me get another visa within 24 hours. It cost me $200 USD but it was worth it. However, I have gotten strange looks from customs officials ever since. I'm guessing I must have some notes in there somewhere about my border adventures in Zhuhai.

Your period tends to get screwed up when you travel, I remember hearing before I left for China. I was in Macau, walking across the border to Zhuhai to go shopping. This simple sentence turned out to be the understatement of the year.

Here Duggars, there's a list already out there for you:

I still really like that song. I'm sad she isn't alive to make more.
