not only did Gina adopt Marco a few years ago, ages ago Gordon and Susan adopted their son Miles, so they've done that a few times, once with a married couple and then later, when it was considered acceptable, by a single working mother. Things get covered all over the place in some of the "real life" segments, but…

lol.. my hubby brought me up here almost 10 years ago (he'd been up here for nearly 10 years already...) i love it.. and yes, ladies.. ya don't have to be pretty, but ya gotta be able to cope with the weather, the sunlight/lack of sunlight, the wildlife and the fact that, no, you are not going to be able to wear/do…

huge hugs to you. as an Infertile, we get made to feel crappy all the time anyway, and less then human at times... to finally get your miracle and then have to go through all of that, and be made to feel even worse about it on top of things.. i am so sorry, glad you made it through and glad you have your wonderful…

Hubby and I just picked up refurbished Samsung Galaxy Tab 2's about a month ago. Have to say, I was leery of even getting a tablet, but I love it and it has been so useful. Hubby loves his too. They are perfect for us and what we need them for. He uses his for work almost daily (he's an electrician) and it was great…

having lived my entire life with an "unusual" name, I will admit it has it's pros and cons. My sister and I were both given unusual names and often get asked about them. I quite like mine and am proud to say that I was named for my father (Anglicized Hebrew, feminine form of David..) My sister got it a little harder…

ooh i loved Probe.. no one else i talk to even remembers that show, but i loved it! and Remember WENN.. that was the best.. i so want those.. where's the petition to sign to get them?? hehee..

we're doing our dinner tomorrow as the step kids went to visit w/ their mom's family today.. but we're having roasted turkey (slathered in compound herbed butter) mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, creamed corn, cornbread/sausage dressing, cheese and veggie platter, pumpkin pie and white chocolate cheesecake pie, oh…

i keep meaning to give that a try (alton is the god of all things food after all..) but i just don't have the fridge space.. *sigh* instead i just make a really good compound butter and slather that all over the bird (wiggle fingers around under the skin to make pockets and stuff that all full as well... never had a…

edited cuz i'm way too tired from insomina and was mixing little debbie up with dolly madison... so.. nevermind..

so wishing i could like this a million times.. this is totally insane.. haven't actually bought cracker jacks in years (no young kids in the house and i certainly don't need it.. plus had to go gluten free almost 2 years ago and it has done amazing things for me. having had to cut all of that out of my diet, i really…

actually, about 2 years ago (before i found out I've got celiacs and gave up such things..) we bought a box of them that were, in fact, moldy.. and not from a bakery "thrift store" from the regular grocery store.. it was nasty.. they were all green and moldy.. we were very surprised.. they were all still sealed up…

if it were just a case of calling the state's "choice" for the EC, that would be one thing.. but to call the whole stinking thing 2 hours before our polls close.. it's just depressing and it does lead to a _lot_ of people out here not even bothering, cuz our votes don't count anyway.. (most of our local stuff, on the…

since they don't even bother to wait until our polls close before calling the election.... Alaska is HUGELY upset about the way presidential elections are done.. we're told and told and told that it's important foe everyone to get out and vote, and yet... our votes count for absolutely nothing. A LOT of my neighbors…

same here.. i didn't know there were sequels.. and i'm a stinking librarian.. yeesh... (ok, i have nothing to do with the collection, and the sequels are NOT in the little library i work at sometimes... so.. i guess i have somewhat of a lame excuse... sheesh..) sad thing is though.. now that i know.. i might just…

we still have one.. we live in an area where the cell reception at our house is just terrible.. and we do foster care so we need to have a 100% certain way to get hold of us.. and sadly, my cell phones tend to have.. issues.. my phone today just up and died... was in my coat pocket, did the buzz vibrate thing and…

our computers are all named for Muppet characters.. older machines (or items for the kids) are named for Sesame Street characters, and smaller devices and peripherals (like the printers) are named after Fraggle Rock characters.. and yes, our in house network is called the Muppet Show... and no, our passwords are NOT…

wait.. there is "audience clamor and expectation" for more jurasic park?? really??

severance

I spent 3 years working in a GI Office.. the docs there even did a colonoscopy on the local zoo's gorilla while i was there... never had any problems with this.. never even knew it was an "expected" risk... now, i do know that there were one or two (or more...) patients who left with little "this way out" arrows and…

well, they can't actually be albinos.. they have pigmented eyes and hair.. however, they are indeed nightmare fuel...
