I have been meaning too! There is one right up the road. I heard it was kind of expensive, but was supposed to so much healthier then I saw the huge line up when they opened and I got scared away. Thanks for the reminder!

You make a good point. The pre-made stuff is more expensive. I don't buy it much myself though, but for someone who is skipping on their fruits and vegetable because they don't think they have time to prepare, I think they are great. I make a huge batch of vegetable soup once a month and I often used the bags to…

Where's the apple a day, keeps the doctor away? I like most of this stuff. I used to think that vegetable were a pain to deal with, but now they come in packages, all washed and cut up for the consumer, there is no excuse! Steam in bag green beans are surprisingly good. The only down side of eating lots of fruits…

Regarding c): I think all parents think that way. We should give ourselves a break because we are all going to overreact sometimes. I do think however, that fathers/male caregivers have the advantage for woman when it comes to yelling. Something about the booming deepness, really makes the kiddos sit up and take…

Never occurred to use my steamer basket over the fire. I think I will try this idea to cook not just peppers but other vegetables on my outdoor gas grill. (electric stove inside)

Isn't Eddie Izzard promising to run for office (Mayor of London?) sometime in the near future? Maybe he should go after the top job instead.

Absolutely! Anything that can make the serious/fun business of this kind of family planning easier is tops in my book. It certainly changed my life in a big way.

This looks pretty good. I did a pen and paper version of this starting in the early 90's. It was called Natural Family Planning. It took a couple years before it worked but we had tried about 10 years beforehand. I got pregnant four times using NFP If nothing else a woman can learn a lot about her cycle by…

If you don't have a wet vac to suck up the cleaning water from a carpet and for the mattress, layer cotton rags over the wet area and stand on them and march to absorb the liquid rather than using your hands. Afterwards, if wet area is still damp put down a thick layer of towels and lay something heavy on it. After a…

I love how the suit is all grungy like he/she accidentally spilled a cup of tea down their front before going out to spend a few hours weeding the garden.

click on the link "ABC" at end of post. Switch to page 1 to play news story. Its a very nice video.

I have serious aversion to the smell and taste of mint. The smell of mint gum in closed places is worse than second hand smoke to me.

I believe those are exactly how my son pictured the tooth fairy. No amount of pocket change could convince him to put his teeth under the pillow like bait for some creature to take in the dead of night.

Yeah, I don't blame you for not wanting that on a brand new sink. A tiny sink would be so cool. That reminds me, I saw somewhere a very pretty small stone bowl sink set on top of a toilet tank. The water source came up from the toilet plumbing and the water drained into the back of the tank.

I don't know. Some spray paint and maybe a little stencil action or some cool stickers would kick it up a notch. Maybe not beautiful, but at least more interesting than in picture for sure.

Mmmmmm. Bacon.

Maybe I've read too many books with cannibals in them, but aren't there some tribes who reportedly practiced cannibalism on tribal leaders in order for their great power to pass into the consumer of their flesh? Of all the ancient culinary related fetishistic practices one could choose from why pick that one to ask…

He's right and everyone needs to be reminded now and again that being successful in your life is not same as living successful life.

Maybe there are an extraordinary number of 16 year old boys in the suburbs in RI. Around here the band is perpetually re-discovered with each new batch of grungy boys in their mid teens.

If we don't use exponents then everyone would be too busy exclaiming, "That's a lot of zeros you got there!" instead of trying to picture the vastness of large numbers.
