I have been doing this for years. Before the remake of A Wrinkle In Time, I reread all the books in that series and discovered (rediscovered?) that Many Waters is my favorite in the entire series. The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. Julie of the Wolves. The Island of the Blue Dolphins. Indian in the…

Last year, we went to a rollerskating rink for my kid’s 9th birthday and it brought back all sorts of feelings....I LOVED LOVED LOVED skating as a kid, all the way up to my post-college years when I was sleeping on my sister’s couch and spending my afternoons rollerblading on the beach in Santa Monica. So a couple of…

This is a great concept, but what if I want to, say, watch my sister’s Hulu account on my Roku-enabled TV? I don’t think this would work in that instance.

Second you on John Carter.

Me too. Are there any good TVs out there that are not “smart”?

I do not like turkey. I refuse to spend the money, time, and effort on a meat that I don’t generally like, even when it is cooked by professionals. I’d much rather steam crab or try my hand at a spiral ham.

I have a 2003 Acura 3.2 TL, and I bought it in 2005/6? It’s at 250+K miles and its a mess. My kids have made the interior their trash can, the leather seats are cracking and make sliding in while wearing a skirt painful, and someone just stopped me today to say they can fix the dents on my driver’s side. But I cannot…

Not Incan, Peruvian. I couldn’t be bothered to get up and look. *facepalm*

I like Trader Joe’s most for their snacks and treats — they come in smaller packages and are not extremely expensive, so I can try something, and not feel horrible if I don’t finish because it was too sweet or not to my liking. My tried-and-true method for not overspending at Trader Joe’s is to take one bag and walk…

If I had a choice, I would have had my first child sooner, for a chance for my mom to have met at least one of them. My mom died in 2008 of cancer, and I think all the time if there had been a grandchild to live for, maybe things would have gone another way? Of course, if my mom had survived, and I had kids, there’d a…

The whole concept of “stealing” a name is ridiculous. I have a counterargument against UNEEK names -- one day, they will be all the more susceptible to identity theft because it will be so easy to find them due to their names being spelled Xriztofer or something nuts like that.

I have three young boys, and I no longer buy gift bags or tissue paper. I’ve only put on a first birthday party and a 5/6th birthday party for each of them, but after each one, I spend about one night going through each bag, picking through which ones are re-giftable and also smoothing out and folding all the…

S/he who does the cooking, does the choosing.

I feel sorrow for anyone who cannot eat whatever they want. Eating well has always been a simple pleasure through the ages. I really wish this boy’s parents had done more — sought out more types of food that would have passed the texture test? Been more consistent with the vitamins/shots? Parenting is hard, I totally…

I bought the tables were before I ever had a washer. This was also before bed bugs became are bigger concern. I also still have them!

If I can’t throw it in the washer, I don’t buy it used.

I had good luck buying tables off Craigslist when I first moved out on my own, and would have outfitted my new condo that I had moved into with my new husband with all Craigslist furniture, if he had been OK with it. He was not OK with it. But I appreciate that he…

It seems inevitable that Le Batard will now be suspended for saying true things on the air.

Proof it was designed by a dude. I would love to see a Captain Marvel T-shirt that says “I have nothing to prove to you.”
