Hannah?

I was raised on the Gulf Coast. The influx of military and tourists mean that our accents are generally rather faint compared to my kin that live just a few hours north. I have actually had to translate things my cousins say because my husband (also Southern) does not understand what they are saying. Then just a few…

So why wasn’t the issue over when the Dad simply offered to go back to the original plan and hold the 2-year-old in his lap? Problem solved.

Have you seen the size of those fancy refrigerators? Imagine the BOXES! Imagine the Airbnb possibilities!

Keep working hard and keep your head up. That’s all you can do. I hope things get better for you soon. Sending hugs.

PANTS!

I want to see her at a 7-11 counter with a Diet Coke holding out a palm full of coins asking, “This many?”

I mean, the good ol boy handyman where I work often brings me cucumbers from his garden. Should I be offended? Or should I just make pickles like I usually do? What do tomatoes mean? Now I’m confused.

I’ll get behind architecting when stupiding is equally recognized.

You wash the entire bundle, shake it off, then wrap in a dish towel to remove any excess. Chop off the stems up to where the leaves start. Then you fold the bunch into a parcel that fits into one fist and squeeze it together firmly. After that it should lay down on a cutting board ready to be finely minced.  

Pancakes turn into soggy flour paste soon after you add butter and syrup, but waffles....AHHH!

I play the white noise machine to block out the sounds of our dogs whining outside of our suddenly closed bedroom door. On our anniversary we took the dogs to a dog-friendly beach hotel. After dinner at a dog-friendly bar/restaurant we had sex with one of our dogs standing on the bed next to my face and the other…

I get Winona Ryder.

Neither one seems particularly smart, so maybe it’s a good idea for them to be politically bland together.

Just the fact that he doesn’t publicly denounce Trump would make me file for divorce. If my husband ever uttered the words, “He has a point...” LAWYER! I’m outta here.

Or, you know, get old.

Make it Totino’s Pizza Rolls, then you’ve got a real script.

In my case, everything went perfectly. I still have a “ruffled” belly because you can’t deflate a balloon and not expect it to show signs of having once been blown up, but overall after both pregnancies with very large babies I bounced back with no ill effects whatsoever. Not everyone has a horror story to tell.***…

We have always bought used via lots and Craigslist and have had good luck in general. But after over 30 years of used cards, this year we purchased a new (OMG that word gives me the vapors) Honda HRV because we could not find a single reasonable deal on a local or nearly local Honda or Toyota. Specifically, we were…

Until you can get things settled for good (or for better), work on solutions for yourself rather than fixing her. Sleep in a room that’s less noisy. Even an air mattress in the living room is better than tossing around underneath noise. Also invest in a white noise machine — a Sleep Sense (formerly Dohm) helps me…
