I'm a St. Louis native so I'm used to free museums but the Art Institute in Chicago is something I pay to see every time I'm in the city. I just love it and I drag people along with me and they end up loving it. My uncle was educated at the school part of it (if you're ever in New York/formerly in San Francisco and

Love my Wii Fit. I got it for my birthday in July and between using it and the Gold's Gym Dance and Cardio games I feel so much fitter. I can't see muscle development yet but I can run double the time I could last year (which isn't saying much) and I'm surprised by how easy it is to stick to the routine. The first

I'm so drunk but I'm so happy. How did we do this? When is the parade? Will Tony get busted after he drives home tonight? The mysteries of the world!!!!!!!!!!!

There's always some good seasonal tasks to do around fall. My tasks between now and Thanksgiving:

I've been doing 3 different Wii games to workout to (BTW- Huge props to the Gold's Gym games on the Wii if you have the system) and I've had great success but I was looking for something to continue to push myself to the next level/mix it up. These look like great selections so thanks for the review!

My old neighbor gifted my mom a 3 year book in the mail subscription thing where I ended up with nearly every Sesame Street book of the 80s era. She still talks about how it was the best book ever. When she knows someone is pregnant, she'll go to used bookstores hunting a bunch of books down and gives one to the

Replying to promote and confirm that bibs are on the list of "rarely have enough of" because babies sure know how to make a mess.

Same here. I did a mommy survival kit at my last shower, with a homemade blanket and diapers for baby and a Starbucks gift card and chocolates for mom. She told me that if anyone else ever gets pregnant just to give them that because she sure needed that chocolate and coffee.

He was engaged! I'm so ashamed I know this but when I was on bedrest for a few months I practically lived on OhNoTheyDidnt and I remember he got engaged around early 2006 (19/20 years old for him) and they broke it off 2007ish.

I really don't get the whole weight and numbers game thing. I gained a lot of weight while on steroids for cancer but what really bothered me wasn't being fat, it was that my lungs hurt from bleomycin and I just didn't feel capable anymore. I used to competitively swim and after basically bedrest for months I was weak

If you really want a workout, please, for the love of God, inform your guests that something might be up. When you say "A night out on the town at clubs" and what you really mean is "first we'll stop to do a belly dancing lesson" please don't be surprised when our shoe and clothing choices don't work so well with

Growing up country made me see different creatures in different ways. We had horses, my neighbors had cows, chickens, turkeys, and pigs. I basically grew comfortable eating meat because I knew the animals had been taken care of before I ate them. We got our cows and pigs directly from them so I knew my food sources. I

I'm amazed that the car only has 188,000 miles on it. My 1995 Camry has 230,000 miles on it! I must drive it more than that family did. Maybe they stopped driving it for a while after the birth because it smelled like placenta or something. I'm starting to be thankful the only thing in the backseat of my car is stray

Just repeating what the others have said. I started college with 31 credit hours thanks to dual enrollment in high school. I took 15 hours most semesters and finished in 6 semesters. I did end up taking 1 summer school course back home because I switched majors midway through my freshman year and wanted to catch up to

That's exactly my stand. If they want to believe their badge means their life is worth more than mine, then I'd like for that badge to mean any crime they commit is worse than if I did the same.

I worked in Walmart's jewelry department for 3 years so I both agree and disagree with the idea of buying jewelry there. If you need a new gold or silver chain, bracelet, ring, etc. by all means shop there. The supplier for the comfort fit rings and chains were the same as the local jewelers. Near Christmas if they

You're right about my Costco in Missouri selling liquor. While I do remember days where the alcohol aisles were chained off on Sundays, I buy vodka in bulk at Costco. It might seem strange but I make homemade vanilla and other spirits and Costco has some great prices. Before parties I love to stock up there too.

Not only are they designed for men but they really don't fit above a size 16 woman if she carries her weight in her breasts because it is made for men. So no plus sized love at all.

Studies on chemo brain involved breast cancer patients and they found that it was the hormone levels shifting (and depression and medications) that combined for the highest levels of memory loss so I think it ties into pregnancy brain too. The research into all of this is still so new so I'd expect to see pregnancy

During my management internship with the company back in 2005 I saw my manager do this to two employees, one of which was pregnant. It definitely looks like a targeted strike to me. Stores are all managed individually and each manager is eligible for bonuses if they reduce costs. Mine got a $22,000 bonus that year. I
