In my 20's a solid 10 hours was great for me. I would wake up feeling refreshed and full of energy. I rarely got 10 hours simply because I was in my 20's. Now I get 7 - 8 hours and do just fine on it. Less than 6 hours and I’m unpleasant.

I use the Instant Pot a few times a week, but still use the Zojirushi for rice. I’ve tried it several times in the Instant Pot, but it’s just not the same.

What happened to the Fuji? You used to see them everywhere and 20 years ago they were delicious. Now I rarely see them.

At least the cooking channels have stopped pushing turkey tetrazzini on us. I’ll be happy to try something different with leftovers.

What was the last thing she did ? Glee in 2012 ? The best way to keep your career going is to not make your life a public train wreck.

Children aren’t born with manners or an understanding of what’s acceptable behavior. What I see is parents who not only don’t discipline their children AT ALL, they have failed to teach them the very basics of appropriate behavior. Then when they misbehave, because they truly don’t know better, their parents try to…

As much as I love it, I can only handle 1 cup in the morning. More than that and I start to vibrate. There is that noon nap that I really enjoy too.

Probably some horrible cancer, but I try not to think about it.

My husband is Cuban. Sometimes I’ll ask him to make Cuban coffee and then hide it away in the fridge until the next morning. It’s great cold.

My guess is that it takes hours each morning to tame that hair, and then in between all the rage tweeting, and tanning, there really isn’t much time to do anything else.

When you seem to make a fortune showing your massive earth mother hips and the rest of your naked body off on the internet, I’m sure having a child cuts into your revenue stream.

You tried, and then compromised. Sounds fair to me.

Let kids be kids and let them explore different things. Some things really are just a phase. As a toddler I had a doll. I have no idea where it came from, but I remember my grandmother screaming about it. She was horrified that her grandson was playing with a doll. Not only was it a doll, but it was black. This was…

Nah - bad pizza is still bad pizza, even if it is pizza.

Lots of practice can overcome that, I just prefer the practice be out of the way before they get to me.

One of my granddaughters was an absolute witch over an iPad, so I let her use it until the battery died. When it went back on the charger, in my bedroom, I told her it takes 2 days to charge it and she coulnd’t have it back until it was done. How coincidental that she was leaving in 2 days.

If you’re going to be lazy about it, then don’t bother. Have some enthusiasm about it.

I tend to go for lights or kitchen gadgets. Go in the front, and cut through right to the area by the checkouts. I can get exactly what I need and then leave.

I’m ready for anything that isn’t “pumpkin spice” - or as a coworker once called it - middle America seasonal white girl crack.

A friend of mine had a little boy with absolutely no impulse control. She was constantly talking to him about not talking saying things like, “Wow! That woman in front of us is so fat!” while they were at the grocery store. When she finally thought she had it under control, he started making backup beeper sounds when…
