My standard advice is to not expect to eat, sleep, watch a movie or go to the toilet. That way if any of that happens then it's a bonus. It really depends on your definition of "long".. some people think that is 3 hours. Like drummerjoe I think of a long plane ride as something across several time zones. We have done…

I recommend dramamine..and go to sleep.

For the kid or the parent? Seriously..do not give melatonin to ayoung child or infant. We used it for the first time with our Drs approval when our kids were 5. I gave them a 5ml sublingual dose. We used it to help adjust to new time zones (NYC to Greece via London and back). There was great enthusiasm about taking…

OK located said missing something ...learned something new! Not exactly sure if it should be used as an adjective or noun in this sense tho'... any body. ( I'm preparing for the storm ....may need to pull out the big guns in Scrabble).

Did you really intend to use "portmanteau " ... translate.." If you can't quite nail what that luggage means..". Am I missing something?

No, not like that video at all.

Teabags in the toilet bowl...I'm thinking tea stained toilet bowl!

"Well, he lucked out big time and it's all for the best."

I think that already exists.

Earthquake.

Yeh, well I guess Terry (not the nicest name) might not understand why it matters. However I now think I know way too much about sheep with "wry necks" caused by weird positioning in utero, and some horrible virus that causes deformities in lambs- including twisted necks. So, as a newly graduated Google Doctor of…

Maybe his/her head is fine and it's neck isn't?

I'd like to think that these two men know each other and are kidding around. That's what I would like to think.

Did you know that a toddler will invite you taste her booger because it tastes really yummy?

oh nooo...sorry to break your bubble but their farts aren't rainbow coloured.

First children can be very easy..with a parent ratio of 2:1. Once that ratio drops, it isn't so easy anymore regardless of temperment. Second child, with an age gap of 5 years, your older one will likely be/soon will be in school. I think you have optimised the potential to make it easier in your situation than …

And to think, I've spent the last 6 years dodging the question "which one of your twins was born first?" because people have weird stereotypes to apply to firstborn twins (and want to prove themselves right) and I also didn't want to hear " well, I'm older so nah nah nahna" every 5 minutes. Since I have three…

I have no problem with these particular bikinis or the "pose". What I would say is that they are incredibly boring designs and I wouldn't pay those prices, in fact I wouldn't take those suits free, just not my style. Triangle tops - not sexy but need to be designed well to stay put. For my own daughters I buy what…

I'm skipping my reading of the comments (I'll come back later) to say...
