I've been trying to get my husband to fix one of our toilets forever. He finally figured out that it is the tank that was leaking and not just the wax ring, but the bolts are rusted through and when one broke and he tried to drill it out, the tank broke. So now we have a new toilet sitting in the trunk of his car…

Maybe ya'll will get some of the rain we got today in Dallas. It was drizzley all day and stayed in the 70s.

We use fox urine to keep cats out from under our trailer. We put rocks in an old sock, soak it with the urine spray, and toss it under the house. I'm sure you can mark the porch, or around your yard to keep them out. We bought it a sports store.

When I did it, corn made every tooth in my mouth ache. I can eat corn chips, but I don't go near kernel corn at all.

Usually, you eliminate the top 6-8 allergens at once and add them back one at a time after 2 or 3 weeks. That would be milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, soy, and wheat/gluten.

I totally agree. I like some of her stuff, but she frequently reminds me of the art school kids I knew in school.

I've never hung out in that corner of Austin. We used to go up to watch the bats come out downtown and catch a beer when we were poor.

I'm so sorry that happened. I know accidents happen, but that seems like a lot in a short amount of time. This was one of my biggest fears when my kids were in day care.

The longer you can leave it alone, the more time the skin underneath can heal. And popping a blister can trap bacteria under that warm, moist layer of skin. Which bacteria would love, but you probably wouldn't.

I think my air conditioner died about an hour ago. It turned on, there was a pop, and a smell like the first time you turn the heater on in winter. I cut the air, grabbed the extinguisher, and pulled the panels from the wall. We live in a mobile home, so everything is right there in the corner of the kitchen. No…

I joined!

I've always preferred cider anyway. Granny Smith Wood Chuck is my favorite.

I'm so sorry that happened to you. My aunt had a miscarriage when she lived far away from us. A few weeks later she was rushed to the hospital because, while she did have a miscarriage, she also had an ectopic pregnancy. Twins run in our family. They told her she would probably never have another pregnancy,…

I love that song. I got hooked because it sounds like Jet Boy/Jet Girl by the Damned.

Ha! My daughter (14) came and looked over my shoulder, bot a goofy grin, and said, "Hiiiiii..."

That whole last montage of Meet the Robinsons... I'm tearing up thinking about it.

That's great that you have a doctor now who's paying attention. My son's pediatrician totally blew off the digestive symptoms my son has had since 18 months. He was 7 when we went to a doctor who works with autistic kids and he immediately ordered blood allergy testing. When I think of all that time I was hurting…

I'm the same. I saw an article on Saint Harridan a few months ago, and immediately had the desire to fly out and visit with them. And then I remembered, I don't have the money for a $700 suit.

This is why my old clothes go to a small local thrift store that supports MR young adults. I stopped donating to Goodwill when I saw a story in the late nineties about Africans wearing old Nirvana shirts. This is why Africa doesn't have the textile industry it used to have, either.

My favorite cat lived with me in a tent while I worked Renn Faires. I could never keep him inside after. We were living in the middle of a cities greenbelt. He disappeared around the same time that we started spotting coyotes.
