My parents used to be Christian puppeteers in the 70s. Yup, they were hippies in a van. My sister was born in one state, I was born in another, and we grew up in a third. My mom has some amazing stories of people helping them out and of getting food and money just when they needed it most. To this day I love roadtrips…

Dammit, Kotaku; why didn't I know about this in time to make something? It ended yesterday.
My husband and I are taking a trip to FL soon, where there will be a great fresh fish market. Now I really hope they have scallops! Thanks :)
You mean the salad from How I Met Your Mother actually exists? Actual families eat it? I'm sorry, I couldn't do it and I'll eat practically anything.
Or the Gentleman Bastard series
Dang straight! Send them to bed without supper! Make them live the hard life so they know how good they have it! /joke
The teacher in me has to comment here. When babies reach for toys beyond easy reach, they strengthen shoulder, trunk, and arm muscles. These muscles in turn will help strengthen arm and finger muscles for writing skills later on. Reaching for toys also encourages problem solving skills that parents can help with. They…

This was the first thing I thought of:
Try spending 8 hours/day around preschoolers that don't cover their mouth when they sneeze or cough and then tell me not to shower every day! It's even worse in the summer, when we have to be outside even it's 90.
My mom would scrape the mold off of the top of tomato sauce and use the rest. Her rule and now mine is that if it looks ok and smells ok, it probably is. As for boxed items: my in-laws go to the Pepperidge Farm outlet and give us food from there sometimes. We've eaten things sometimes a month after the exp. date.
When I was younger, I remember making hard-boiled eggs and one or two of them always floated. I also eat raw cookie dough. Living on the edge.

I do, too. I've gotten away from instant cocoa, but I always put milk in it when I used it. Now I use cocoa powder, milk, and brown sugar with just a little cinnamon.
No, this is you in a nutshell: "Help, I'm in a nutshell! What am I doing in this nutshell? Why am I so tiny?" It's a blessing. And a curse.
This is completely off-topic, but I'm mad at Lifehacker for putting up articles like these. I come here to get away from work, not talk more about it! :)
A lot of times, children don't know why. Sometimes they do (this one child in my class is very articulate and knows exactly what he's doing), so it doesn't hurt to ask. The problem comes when they say "I don't know" and the conversation ends there. You're not asking a child about elements in a court case; you're…
