I've been telling people that, I'm not saying I fully believe it. It's not fully unsupported, though.

I found it on allrecipes.com - it's probably easier to take it from here :) http://allrecipes.com/recipe/chicken… I'm generous with the parsley and dill (and I can never find a bird that small).

I haven't caught a cold this year and have been telling people it's because I eat homemade chicken soup at least once a week. Full bird, turnip, parsnip, leak, onion, carrot, celery, parsley and dill - blend the veggies after cooking for a creamy broth. It's yum and doesn't need a lot of salt to taste divine.

I had to look it up just now to know what you're talking about. :) It's a good show? I just found bone broth (stock) appealing because it's so cheap and I can control the flavor. So far, I've found that Kim Chi is a great flavor enhancer. No salt required.

Thanks for this. I recently started making bone broth stock for the flavor and convenience. I'm not a fan of salty canned soups.

She had (has?) amazing style.

The article author's line of reasoning is that kids figure it out for the themselves, but often it's teasing from older children (or children in the know) that leads them to stop believing. I think it's a weird tradition and not healthy. I love the Santa Claus story and think it's possible to pretend with your…

When we bought new furniture, we made sure it all had "legs". Then, I lowered the artwork so the bottom edge was closer to the top edge of the furniture in front of it. It made a huge difference. The room feels much larger than it actually is.

Also, as weird as it may seem, the "why" can be an anti-motivator. Ultimately, my "why's" break down to feeling happier and more fulfilled. If I say to myself "I have to go the gym and eat healthy to have a happy and fulfilling life," I will eventually notice that doing those things can make me very unhappy, so what's…

The "why" should be the occasional prod, not the main focus. My why's are weight and strength to feel good, look good and do my hobbies. My system is the gym and healthy eating. I don't say "I have to go the gym to get these things. Ugh." Instead, I go the gym, because that's what I do. My only qualification for not…

By focusing on note-taking, I found that I was missing little nuances that would made the lecture easy to remember. Instead, I doodled intensely, only jotting a note if they said something I didn't understand. Doodling restrained the restless mind-wandering and allowed me to fully process what was being said. Later…

As someone who is almost terminally shy, I have to apply a few tricks to get through social situations, and one of them is taking the focus off myself.

Me too. I'll have to buy a different mug.

Me too. I'll have to buy a different mug.

So, those times when I gave in, I probably should have distracted myself more.

Let's say you're having one of those nights. It's Friday night, you want something fattening or sweet. Would you say there's a 10-20 minute break between waves of craving? Maybe 30 minutes?

And like a wave, it comes back again. And again. And again.

The fuss of prepping glow sticks? Breaking the glow sticks is the best part of glow sticks!

But our only big problem on Halloween is that I buy way too much candy and we have it left over.

I don't care about the bangs. Why is she wearing a $20 prom dress from 1980?

1. I realized it was time to grow up. As a young 20-something, I had this sudden visualization of how hard it would be on my mother if anything were to happen to me. She'd have to go through all this confusing paperwork and a lengthy probate process with debt collectors. Awful.
