Thanks!

I got married two weeks ago and had a lovely ceremony and a very fun honeymoon in Florida. Of course, wanting to maximize our trip, we traveled home last Sunday and promptly reported for work the very next morning. Now everyone in our household (even our rabbit) is sick. Lesson learned: give myself time to adjust…

Fellow Jezzies, I know it is Thursday and thus there is no Open Thread. But I must shout this from the rooftops: I AM GETTING MARRIED TOMORROW!

Well, it isn't a product, but a method that works for me. Never wash or rinse your hair with hot water in the shower and make sure to do a cool rinse with water as cold as you can stand it just before getting out of the shower. This locks in moisture and gives hair sheen.

I am getting married in 3 months and I had a friend who recently told me that there is no good time to have babies. She meant it as there is never enough time in the day or money in your wallet or patience in your heart to perfectly parent. That you can always be in a better place, but that your baby isn't likely to…

Yes. I had to either fork up another 60 bucks to fill in the gaps caused by my nail growth or remove the gel. Not wanting to spend 60 bucks about once a month for my nails, I had them remove the gel. It hurt so bad that I cried... They took a clipper and pulled the gel off like they were ripping my whole…

Ditto on Ditto.

My high school was really competitive academically, so between AP classes and being a total choir nerd, I had no time for electives. I learned to cook mostly from my grandmother, my own experimentation, and the ever-delightful America's Test Kitchen. Now I collect antique cookbooks and hand-copy several hundred…

I had a drink-all-sweet-tea-I-can summer a few years ago and totally blanked on the fact that tea bags have caffeine (blonde moment). When the summer ended and my tea drinking subsided, I had the worst headaches, fatigue, and general malaise. I finally put two and two together and realized that my body had become…

I know just what you mean. Maybe I harbor larger fears about death and 9/11 images just bring that out in me. I don't really know how it all connects and why. Maybe my subconscious can work out what my waking mind cannot. Thank you for your thought.

I think you responded to the wrong comment :)

I had my first 9/11 nightmare of the year last night. Every year, I have a week or so of the most horrible dreams about the tragedy. I didn't know anyone affected by 9/11 directly, but seeing the footage, even those stories on the Yahoo homepage...it brings it all back. Does anyone else have this issue? My main…

Is it bad that my only response to this story is hearing Christopher Walken say "Googly eyes" over and and over in my head?

Thank you for being amazing. That is all.

Perhaps none of the grocery stores in your area allow Double Coupon Days. Where I live (Milwaukee, WI), most of the stores have specific days on which they will double the value of a coupon. For instance, a $1 off of Tide detergent automatically becomes $2 off. While some people might think $2 off isn't a great…

Keep in mind that shows like Extreme Couponing belong to the category of reality TV and thus represent nothing of actual reality :) I coupon and save about 50-75% off of retail prices by combining in-store specials, knowing the sales rotations, and using double coupons at the stores in my area. But anyone who gets a…

So the analysts are now studying studies in order to make a new study?

I really feel bad for this poor guy who died in such a terrible way. I got bitten by a stray cat a few months ago while I was trying to give it some food. I went into the doctor that same day and was given an antibiotic. The worst I suffered was a yeast infection from the antibiotic, but just feeling like I could…

I agree. Fast food restaurants also take up a much smaller physical space than a grocery store and just because you shop at grocery stores doesn't mean that everything you put in your cart is healthy for you.

I knew I hearted you for a reason :)
