I learned about some of that research at a family and sexual violence conference here in Missouri this spring. Sadly that session was not attended by as many cops as victim advocates and prosecutors but it is a start.

Love this idea. I find myself reading things like CapHillStyle, Corporette, and AskAManager daily just to understand other people's lives. It gave me the confidence to quit my last job. I want empowerment.

I'm all in on WebMD gone wild as a column. Love it!

I volunteer you for the gelatin section while I promise to try every version of "Better than Sex" cake in the world. But seriously (we'll pretend I wasn't serious before), Cooking Light had this "lightening up old recipes" kind of column that I loved. I would hate to see one lightened up in a way that involved…

Yes! I made a planter for my mom on Mother's Day. It was fun and I had to use 4 different types of saws and all sorts of other tools. I'm thankful my husband was around and I had a great guide created by Ana White but no one really made me believe I needed to know how or should.

I've gone from 0 to 8 blazers in the last year. My life keeps getting better.

I track my mood to see how crazy/depressed I am daily, I track my periods so I remember to buy more tampons, I track the food I use in my deep freeze so I can update my shopping list, everything in my life gets tracked. I suffer from chronic list-making. Everything is tracked in my world.

My goodreads goal used to be 50 or more a year and now it is 1/month because fanfic. I've just told my friends I'm busy but I never say with what.

Like seriously, do not tell people diagnosed with cancer things like 1) I have this magic juice I'll sell you, 2) I knew so-and-so who had that cancer. They died. 3) Do you use microwaves? That's why you have cancer. 4) Well that kind is no big deal.

SERIOUSLY!? That was pretty much my first week post-diagnosis. No one…

This is why labor attorneys exist. Seriously, a quick (and cheap) consult with someone who specializes in small businesses or startups or whatever you are can tell you at what point you must comply with certain laws and where you open yourself up to liability. The stuff they'll tell you might be the same kind of stuff…

I can see them if I add "/all" at the end of the URL but not otherwise. You are not alone!

It's all made up. I'm convinced. My last job: send letters via 2 databases that won't communicate with each other because Missouri changes their government bids regularly to avoid "favortism" so everything is proprietary and not connected. I also had to make the letters in Word manually because the worker who was…

Don't forget Ask This Old House. Our PBS affiliate's Create channel plays them all the time. My husband demands absolute silence. I would complain but they also show America's Test Kitchen/Cook's Country and he has started making some amazing meals so I allow it.

That's not true in my jurisdiction. You have to testify and many times the judge doesn't grant it. I'd say about 5% are approved in my county and the rest are set within the next 14 days for their hearing. My local courthouse only grants them in domestic cases where people have reason to fear "eminent danger" and for…

I love these. https://www.youtube.com/user/LaDollyVi… I just cut off my hair Saturday but when it was still long I did a bunch of these. I'm a fan of the Sansa and Margaery ones. Her ones from The White Queen are also fabulous.

I loved Radiolab the most but I just can't listen to it since the Yellow Rain segment. It broke my heart and my love of it. I still listen to my old favorites at times and keep meaning to try again but I have a mental block still.

3 days. That's how long I made it from diagnosis to crazy alternative medicine pushing person approaching me.

This is exactly me. I feel like I just absorb words instead of read them. I do subvocalize some but when I get in a groove I hear it almost like a hum. My only personal guess is that I wasn't taught phonics at first but rather something called whole word theory. Eventually I had more teachers so I had a mix of the two…

I started at 6:45 AM for my first three years. They gave students who wanted to do music or art classes the chance to go an hour earlier for a regular class so you could take an art class and still have enough credits to place in the upper percentile of the class by making room for weighted classes. I was in class…

I've got the clips in my hair right now while I eat.
