Another friend of mine had a crooked accountant who made stuff up and got her lots of money back each year. He went to jail and the IRS were a lot less understanding with her, but again the payment plan was the way she got out of that mess.

Yeah, I’ve seen that a few times, and it’s disgusting.

....I kinda prefer the emery board method for myself, and therefore for my son too.

I feel like turkey just doesn’t feel as heavy in my mouth. It’s a texture thing for me, not a health thing. Ground turkey is just as fatty.

Yeah, I’m not sure how I feel about it as a ‘learning experience’, but many kids have to do stuff like things because their parents don’t speak English. Definitely not with a toddler! I’d probably make out the list and have the kid order directly from that-can’t be any worse that Bob from accounting calling in 10…

I noticed my kid likes the intros to some of his shows—he likes humming the the theme song. So that’s a point in favor of them for me.

I think you wash them separate? I would never use this, but if I did that’s what I would do. I wash my undies separate from the rest of my clothes so I think if I had cloth covered in literal shit I’d do the same.

That’s why I could not get down with the diaper genie. Who wants a bucket of shit in their house? Kid pooped, we hung the diaper on the back door, and took it out with the rest of the trash. I suppose I’d have done things differently if I lived in an apartment, but I don’t so...

I pay everything I can with a credit card, but I HATE that it’s not worth it for my electric and water bill—the fee for using a credit card is high than the cash back percentage.

Think about it: our kids go to sleep by 8 or so, right?

Never in his whole life did your dad not hear the POP! of the biscuit can? ;-)

You’re probably right. I mean we have bought furniture from there, but since we live so close we don’t try to buy everything in one go.

I just commented above that we go to IKEA just to hang out, but really it’s because I want meatballs ;-)

Is IKEA really that bad? We go just to hang out sometimes.

One of my best friends was (is? she’s a SAHM now, but plans to go back to work) an immigration lawyer and she always complains about her mother signing stuff without reading it and saying “oh, my daughter can get me out of this because she’s a lawyer.” You’d think she would have learned by now but no...

I paid for study guides with Google Play rewards...at one point I had close to $120 in there.

I have not seen a Walmart in NJ that does. Dick’s just has hunting rifles. Bass Pro did have handguns, I think.

That it a lot of oil, but when we fry, I just let the oil cool and then pour it into a water bottle and toss.

What about website ordering? My favorite chinese place offers web ordering, and I love it, especially for large orders. Is there a delivery middle man in that situation?
