Well, the Costco AmEx does have an annual fee—it just happens to also be the fee for the Costco membership...

She was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome as a teenager, and while she accepts that she is autistic, she was adamant that she wasn't delusional or psychotic.

Not necessarily. Zero doesn't always mean "nothing," sometimes it means "arbitrary starting point from which we measure." For example, think about latitude and longitude, or temperature, or sea level. Each of those has a zero that doesn't correspond to nothingness.

Yeah, probably. Especially since you can request a copy for free from mormon.org, so Marriott can probably replace them pretty easily.

FSAs are amazing. I signed up for one through my employer for 2013 since I was expecting a baby, and the FSA was enough to cover all the prenatal testing (blood tests, ultrasound, etc) and most of the out-of-pocket costs for the delivery.

If your keyboard just insists that you're typing "MacGee" when you mean "make," it may be best

It works great on my toddler!

Thanks for not being afraid to share that story! It's easy, on a site like this, to try to downplay religion for fear of being mocked, so seeing a story like this shared openly is really refreshing. You rock.

Agreed. A locking lid on my crockpot would have saved the backseat of my car from BBQ sauce stains...

Somebody call MythBusters!

If you're buying wheat crackers, it has to be Triscuits. The store brand version is just not the right texture.

That's genius! I've been using gml as the shortcut for my gmail address, but this will be faster. Thanks, Melanie!
