    Must-dos in Europe

    BUDAPEST BUDAPEST BUDAPEST!!!!!! Honestly, I'm in love with this city and can't wait to visit again someday. We went in early December and even though it was cold, it felt magical to me. And yes, it's a very inexpensive city and so much to do! I also recommend Prague and hope to be able to...

    Instantpot?

    I used mine a lot more in the winter when I was making more substantial meals. Now though I use it at least once a week when I do a big batch of eggs for the week. I do like that it's an exact science with the IP on the eggs, one cup of water, 5 minutes on high, 5 minutes natural release and...

    Summer meal ideas... Please list yours.

    We grill a lot in the summer as well. Yes, it's hot outside but I would rather stand in the blazing heat and grill than stand in the kitchen and cook and then deal with all of the clean up after! I grill most of my veggies, super easy just olive oil, salt and pepper and throw it on the grill...

    Ibotta

    I love it. For the most part I'm only buying things that I normally buy anyway. For example there's $4.00 back on two bottles of Purex at Walmart, I'm about out of Purex and need to buy more. The cost of Purex at Walmart is lower than where I normally grocery shop anyways so I will be picking...

    New show on AMC, The Terror

    So, i's good? I started watching the first episode but couldn't understand a word they were saying. Much like Taboo, I thought it would be enjoyable but was nearly impossible to understand. Eventually I was able to get into Taboo with subtitles and towards the end of the season I didn't...

    Moving in with Significant Other

    It was right at one year, probably would have been sooner but I had relatives living in my house and I thought having 4 adults and 3 dogs in a 1500 sq foot house was just too much! As soon as they moved out he moved in!

    What 2019 Car/SUV for teen drivers?

    I vote you keep your husbands car for sure! I have a '14 Tucson and absolutely love it still. Bought it new and plan to drive it till the day it dies if I can. It's the perfect size for me, I hate cars but did NOT want a large SUV. Never had any problems, just standard oil changes, and tire...

    Winter boots for lots of walking

    I did the Christmas Markets in 2016 and it was my favorite trip yet, can you share where you are going? I did Budapest, Vienna and Prague. Loved all three but Budapest has been my favorite European city yet! I ordered the Teva Delavina Ankle Boots specifically for that trip anticipating cold...

    How much did you pay for your house in relation to your income?

    A little less than twice my annual salary. I was a little annoyed that everybody (lender, realtor) was trying to get me to buy a house that was closer to 3 times my salary. They repeatedly told me that I was approved for much more but I bought my house as a single woman and I knew that I...

    Warning: Stupid travel question ahead.....

    Another thing to think about, since you are asking the question I'm assuming you haven't travelled overseas frequently... Most rentals are stick unless you specifically request an automatic. But yes, both work just fine! I've always added the GPS option when doing a rental though (make sure...

    What goes good with pita chips?

    Black bean dip! I was going to say black bean hummus but you've ruled out hummus so I'll go with the other option, dip! Black bean dip or hummus is kind of an obsession of mine, I love it so much!

    Talk Tieks to me...

    I have two pairs, cobalt and matte black. While they are super comfortable, they are not as durable as I would have hoped. I do wear them daily, but I didn't expect to have wear and tear on them so quickly (just months after I bought them). Having said that, they are the most comfortable pair...

    So how does everyone else remain calm in the operating room?

    After reading through this thread I'm very happy with how I handle anesthesia and the process! I've had 4 surgeries as an adult, I was nervous the first time only because I didn't know what to expect. From there on it's been smooth sailing. I've been very lucky that in each of my four...

    Tell me about your experience with Ibotta.

    I scan through the app and the few stores that I tend to shop at, I then check off all offers that there's a possibility I might buy. Once you are done shopping you have to redeem your offers by scanning your receipt and then scanning the individual item barcodes for most places. There's a few...
