Don't have a beard, cause gross.

I've got the yellow Dyson; have had it for close to 10 years now. I have (at this time) 7, yes seven, pets. I also have a teen daughter who somehow sheds her mid-back length hair like no one's business (and yet has a thick, full mane- HOW?). This thing has never disappointed me. I'm surprised it's still going after…

Well, the SECOND guy I had sex with in my life said WIF instead of WITH. All. The.Time. NOT A SPEECH IMPEDIMENT EITHER.

Wow, wish I had more time to go over this, especially the funding and debt buyer at the end, there, crazy. I've been doing this for 10 years and have never ONCE been stiffed. Knock on wood.

you can drink in a car when someone else drives in Mexico. hence, not letting my husband put me on the rental car insurance so I can't drive: "oh, it's just so expensive honey, you can drive everywhere." heh heh

Ok people, I am not a paid sponsor, I swear, but it's about to sound like it: That Burts Bees hand salve is god's gift. I won't go ANYWHERE without that circle tin. I put it on EVERYTHING, from my botox-area wrinkles, to my cuticles, to rough elbows and knees, to my hair to flatten fly aways and make my hair NOT look…

Wait, I just have to thank you formally. This info is so useful to me.

WOW you are awesome, thank you so much for this info. I have actually been getting some weirdly severe headaches lately...!!

No way, always ask questions. People love to talk about themselves, except for me, I hate talking. Therefore, win-win all around.

Lavender scented anything. I'm a raging insomniac and ran into some halfway decent science that said it helps. I have an oil burner that gives off a good amount of scent.

Soooo, are you saying I *DON'T* have agoraphobia?

Once you finish all the tasks in group #1, get up and move. Close your tabs, pack your bags, and physically move your butt to your next spot. If you can, walk or bike to your next stop. Avoid driving if you can. The physical activity is important.

Not clever: REAL. People who have been parents for all of 4 lousy years shouldn't pat themselves on the back about ANYTHING yet. Your kids are still lumps. I'd KILL to go back to age 3 & 4. That's when I thought I was the best darned parent on the planet, too.

dayuM! but, also, I hear ya. In 2003, I had a damn PRE-PAID tuition plan for my oldest, which I paid for...EVERY MONTH...for a long time. Now I look back at it like HOW DID I DO THAT? And the thing is, we make so much more now. But we live in the same house. And drive the same level of cars... UGH.

I was a latchkey kid in the 80s- IN KINDERGARTEN in Southfield, (outside Detroit). A guy came to my door, told me he was the TV repair man, and I let him in. He took our TV and walked out. Pretty screwed up, huh?

Seems to be it's the NEWBIES who are most important to spot.

Every 15 minutes? This sounds exhausting! Then again, I probably don't recall how often I'd need to redirect my child on a flight/road trip because it WAS exhausting.

Haha your kids are ALMOST 4? And you're patting yourself on the back because you've not succumbed to the electronic babysitter. THAT'S BECAUSE YOUR KIDS AREN'T EVEN 4 YET. Oh dear lord.

I've noticed the most perfect and best parents with clear ideas on their values and courses of action are often those who don't have kids yet.
