My oldest grandson was kind of indifferent toward Sesame Street except for Elmo....the minute he heard the Elmo theme, he’d come running from wherever he was in the house to plunk down in front of the TV and “Melmo”. Caillou? Never. He was a big “Bob the Builder” fan, maybe because his dad is a mechanic and his…

My friend named her daughters after their grandmothers back in the 70s—Virginia (Ginger) and Adele. They did encounter another Virginia (Ginny) growing up, but never another Adele. I named mine after my mother, Elizabeth, and called her Betsy. She has always been the only Betsy anywhere she went.

I have one. I don’t use it. My best scrubber is one I got at Dollar Tree. It has a sponge on the inside and what looks like metal links on the outside but isn’t. I got a pack of 3 and I’m down to my last one and now Dollar Tree doesn’t carry them any more. I don’t care for the chain mail one AT ALL. Sorry, guys. I’ve…

Uh......water is a chemical. H2O, hydrogen dioxide. Seriously. Everything is a chemical, so don’t get all in a wad about it, okay?

Also, Berry and DeJesus have the support of families, while Michelle Knight came from a dysfunctional family and has had to do a lot of healing on her own with the support of professionals rather than the love of family. That could be a really big reason for her to have gone her own way. I don’t think there’s…

Fibromyalgia is classified as a diagnosable disease now, not a psychosomatic syndrome. They American College of Rheumatology and the ICD-10 both classify it as a functional somatic syndrome, meaning that it has a neurobiological cause. People who have it do have a higher incidence of anxiety and depression, but living…

Online. We were both in bad marriages, which had nothing to do with it because where we met was NOT a dating site or anything like it. I left mine first, his wife left him some time later. We courted slowly and carefully and I moved in with him 5 years after we met. No marrying, we’ve both BTDT twice and we’re old…

12 hours? Pediatrician is nucking futz! If you get one that goes 6-8 hours you’re lucking out. A babe that sleeps 12 in a row, there’s something wrong with that one. Dollars to donut holes that doc either has NO kids, had hers so long ago she’s forgotten all about it, or is a freaking sadist! You do what works for you…

There is no excuse whatsoever for the ABC to have cops. None. This bunch needs to be disbanded now. Their last two misadventures on the UVA campus are just the ones that have come to light. Here in Harrisonburg they treat students at JMU with the same contempt as they did Martese Johnson and Elizabeth Daly (look up…

The people who sit on the HS athletic commissions, I don't care in WHAT state, are usually people who peaked in high school and never made it anywhere else. They are a bunch of little Nazis and if they weren't sitting there, they would be on your local HOA.

Hat don't fit. That is all.

Apparently Koba S has NOT read his autobiography.

Jonathan Franzen give "self-important" an entire new meaning. Not to mention "self-absorbed".

And on the other hand I just read of a case, I believe it was in the UK, where a female obstetrician was charged with *criminal FGM* for stitching up a woman who had suffered tearing during childbirth! Seriously! So things can go too far in the other direction too. Get a grip, people.

But hey, he might be a Mormon!

She is NOT freaking "plus sized", she is a NORMAL SIZED WOMAN. I hate to break it to you, but size 16 women shop in the REGULAR women's department...ALL THE TIME! Not the "Plus" department. Get used to it! There are a lot more of us curvy types than there are of those starved looking things the fashion industry tries…

The problem is that Jindal *thinks* he is white. He just doesn't realize that as little as 30-40 years ago, he'd be sitting in the back of the bus in Louisiana, not in the governor's mansion.

What is most annoying is MLB's assumption that because one lives in a certain area, one must perforce be a fan of a "local" team. I live in northern VA, but snowball throwing will be an Olympic sport in Hell before I am EVER a fan of the Washington Gnats OR the Orioles. I am and always will be a Braves fan, but can't…

Tacky and off topic there, sonny. Go back and sit down.

She should NOT have pets. She should probably also not have children. what a selfish bitch.
