I think jealousy can play in to it strangely enough. I’m divorced, but the kids father has them every other weekend, etc. And when they aren’t with their dad, very, very often one of their grandmothers will swoop in and take them away for the weekend. I love my kids a lot, but they are 8 and 10 and boys, and yeah - I…

Threw it out - and it was never even used?!?! That bag is super duper cute! I have a sad now :(

Except that a huge chunk of the passes have already been distributed. It's really only the very northern part of the state that still has passes available. We have a number of State Parks w/ redwoods in Santa Cruz County - every single pass for the parks is GONE.

Sheesh - in California most of the insurance companies are required to electronically submit proof of insurance to DMV. I have not had to produce "proof" for registration purposes in probably close to 10 years it feels like.

I did an FHA loan back in 2012 - it was pretty much the only way I was going to be able to buy a house. My house was less than 10 years old when purchased, so I didn’t have to worry too much about the inspection requirements. I refinanced about 6 months ago to a conventional loan - so nice not to pay PMI any longer!…

I'm divorced in California also. It was pretty much 6 months to the day after we signed the paper. I was told the 6 month wait was the legal requirement. Although neither the ex or I actually had to show up in court, a judge did have to sign the paperwork. I suppose the LA courts could be far, far more backlogged than…

It’s Renee Elise Goldsberry. Says it right there in the screencap ;)

As an old, I'm far more familiar with Bryan than Ryan. Legit thought it was Bryan and thought "Huh - his gravelly voice could make it kind of cool"

I wish I had the bottle in front of me to confirm, but I’m 99% certain that I have a bottle of Jeffrey’s Pine lotion. Friends just bought it for me last month on a trip to Calaveras State Park - it was something locally made. I recall the label talks about bringing in the pine smell which you are correct - is very…

The link for the round ice ball maker seems to go to the 5-pack only for $24.99? Code doesn't work on that one, and I can't seem to find the single tray for $9.99.

He didn't. He took it to school to show the engineering teacher. The clock made a sound in his English class so he showed the clock to the teacher after class and that's when she called the principal and had him detained.

definitely true - it's hard to tell with carseats. But considering this happened in the Bay Area, I am assuming it's a commuter that probably has this baby strapped in every day, all day. It's actually pretty smart - if the CHP was driving by the car, they would glance over, see a "baby" and keep on cruising. The…

here's my guess - carpool lane. babies count as passengers for the HOV lane - people have used mannequins, stuffed animals, etc. Would not even be slightly surprised to find out someone strapped a fake baby into a car seat for that purpose.

Exactly what I was thinking. Didn't they announce something several months ago - and it was like 6 months or less after they got married as I recall.

I have those and the neckband LGs and I vastly prefer the LGs. Maybe its because I am female, but the cord on the mpow is constantly getting tangled in my long hair. What I like about the neck ones is that it’s just the bud I have to worry about.

Wow, I have Anthem Blue Cross and my IUD insertion was no big deal and no wait - just saw my regular GP, who also did my yearly exams.

the texture is my least favorite thing about it. it’s just so limp - I always feel like I’m chewing on tasteless rubber

how? why? I love turkey in pretty much any form except for bacon. it's never ever crisp and truly just tastes "off" - blech!

My 4 year schooled me at the zoo -

hometown San Jose natives represent! Haven't lived there for 20+ years, but pleased to see stories like this out of SJ - could be much worse!
