Last year I said there's no reason they have to open at midnight/2am/4am. Let the people work at a normal time. Maybe they can work later. It's like the hours inch backwards just because stores want to outdo each other.

I was wondering if this happened in other countries. (Mostly because the photo reminded me of Harrod's)

Good tip! Thanks!

A few weeks ago I made some popcorn that I don't usually get and it not only burned, it scorched the microwave floor. There's a brown spot there now and the microwave has smelled like gross plastic-popcorn ever since. I left the door open for 2 days to let it air out and it helped some. That's my lesson learned about…

I love the term default when applied in unusual fashions.

I had a girly Lego set that was for a beach house. I loved it. So glad this project is coming to fruition! And really glad you are able to enjoy whatever you want now! That's something I love about being an adult, too.

Good ideas!!! Yes to the clearness! I have like 20 little Ikea boxes that are just cardboard and I have to look in every single one to find something. I guess I could label them.

Cool idea. I like things like that - a "specialized" box that you can put everything in until your next work session.

Ikea batteries - great deal.

I like her and think she's inspirational. I also think it was maybe in the cards for her to run into a relationship like this based on her family history (I hope that doesn't sound like I'm saying it's okay or anything). It sucks though. My therapist always tells me that there are two types of people in relationships:…

Also, any kind of tool that will help the process along. I love tools of all kinds (yeah yeah) and only recently started to understand how important they actually are and how getting a good one for your task is important. I have a multi-tool that I love for woodworking, and a rotary tool that's good for smaller stuff.…

That is a good shop!

Some kind of organizing system that is "portable" around your house or apartment, or even just boxes. Segmented boxes or something. Let me know if you find something. I have done every art and craft type that you can imagine and most of the time it ends up in piles all over the floor instead of neatly put back into my…

A pig. In a cage. On antibiotics.

Sometimes I get "Girl You Know It's True" stuck in my head, but at the part where it skipped that one time. "Girl you know it's girl you know it's girl you know it's" and imagine them embarrasedly dancing around trying not to show the terror they're feeling. It's hilarious and I try to get that in my head whenever…

I echo the others - toss in Betty McCollum and Keith Ellison! I don't know anyone who likes Bachmann, even though I live just a couple miles from her district (thank god not in it)

Hahahaha, I never thought of that and now I'm going to think of that every time I see a profile with a boat (which is every one). Also, all guys work out in their leisure time and they are passionate about being outdoors. Fact of life in the Eharmonyverse.

Agreed. Also, I get so tired of everybody on TV and movies and everywhere going "I'm not crazy! I don't need a shrink!" Whatever. My therapist is my best friend.

On Eharmony I ran across a guy who made a point to say he loved "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell." Unfortunately, that kind of thing is the norm on there. I can't believe I have to pay for that. Too bad you have to pay before you actually see how crappy it is.

I have no idea whatsoever how old I was when this horrible womanly burden happened to me. I remember it happening, but I don't know when it was. It was likely 12 or 13 because I know that in elementary school I was terrified at the thought of going to the nurse if it happened at school. "Don't use toilet paper! Go get…
