@anteup lost her pizazz: The recipe is on the back of the Manischewitz box. :)

I would like to put out a PSA for all those who never made matzoh balls that those suckers expand when you cook them. I made some for the first time this weekend and the recipe told me to make them 1" in diameter. I thought, silly recipe that has been used by Jewish families for 70 years, you know nothing! I like my…

@girl_ninja: My husband says you are not normal, too :)

Is anyone else a fan of Vice TV? I have been for a while and it's the best time waster out there. They have the best short documentaries on all sorts of varied topics. They have one about going behind the scenes in North Korea and Liberia. The Vice Guide to Sex Series is truly eye-opening, and I just recently watched…

@MondayMondayMonday: Yeah, I saw that and screamed at my husband. "Look, it's normal, other people do it!". But then I saw that guy was NOT normal and got the sads.

Is it weird that when I am cold I sit on my couch or in bed and blow dry myself? It is like your own little personal space heater. Then, every night during the winter, I get into bed and blast the heat from the blow dryer in between the covers and snuggle in. Little piece of heaven! I know it's wasteful but it's my…

@girl_ninja: I haven't done silicone but recently I have started doing protein treatments after getting one at Sally Hershberger. Get a good one from a beauty supply store (some come in single packs) and leave it in for 5-10 minutes. Sometimes I wrap a plastic bag around my head and give it a blast with the hairdryer…

@ThePieHole: That's a really good point, and was def not my intention. I have dealt with OCD and an eating disorder, so maybe I should have said "offensive to anyone who has suffered from any of the 3 disorders". People use the term "psycho" so lightly, but it's no laughing matter for people with psychosis. I agree we…

I'm having cauliflower right now (with butter and cheese on it). Does that count?

I find this to be a bit confusing. First of all, are they counting things like corn and potatoes as starches or veggies? Second, some fruits, like bananas and apples, have about 80 calories per servings. I don't think that, if you are trying to lose weight, you should have the perception that they aren't going to…

The term "psycho OCD eating disorder" is extremely offensive to those people that do suffer from OCD. It relates OCD to psychosis, which is not necessarily a related disorder, and it ties OCD to eating disorders, which can be related but also occur individually. I wanted to point this out because many individuals use…

Flour bag baby? Sounds like a piece of cake. Egg babies are for advanced grade school parents.

Up next in medically-informed posts that confuse a mental disorder with rational fears and general quirks: Why you're totally OCD if you think you are anal or have a weird habit of avoiding germs.

@Doll face: Just because something scares you doesn't mean you have a phobia. It's very frustrating for those dealing with real medical issues to have other people try to "relate" to them. It's like when people say, "I am so OCD about X". You are not OCD if you likes neat or are anal about a few things, and you are…

I do not think that word means what you think it means.

Here's my question. Now hobbits of all skin tones are allowed...if they meet age and height requirements. So ageism and height "discrimination" are still in play to fit what the casting directors feel they need to play hobbits. I'm not sure how hobbits are portrayed in the original story, but if they are…

@banana_grabber: Yeah, I've used Preseed (which is TTC-friendly lube) and tried the Mucinex). No dice :( Thanks!

@banana_grabber: Thanks, I haven't read TCOYF, but I've read some similar books. I tried to use some of the methods the book recommends but I found I was already getting kind of obsessed with tracking everything so I have backed off and just use a fertility monitor and ovulation sticks as a backup. I think an issue is…

6 months ago I would have agreed with everyone that this article sucked. I had been on Yasmin for 9 years and just assume that, once going off the pill, at 29 I would get pregnant in a snap. Now, 6 months later and after some weird hormonal stuff going down, I have an appointment on the books with a fertility…

@Cimorene: In terms of classical ballet, sadly chubby bodies are not considered pleasing (not my view, the traditional view). And the ability of the body to create long, clean lines and angles is part of the technique and aesthetic. To a ballet purist, it really does take away from the performance. If audiences…
