    European duvet cover: Help with insert/blanket size?

    I'm from the US & purchased a single duvet cover from Germany. I *think* it's a similar size to a twin in the US, but not exact. The dimensions are 140 cm x 200 cm. My questions: 1. What size duvet insert do I buy? I've read some sites that say the insert should be a few inches smaller (ie...

    Did you have a easy or hard childhood?

    Started off really easy. Then became really hard (bullying at school, parent mental illness at home). Once I hit college, it was easy again.

    Turkey: Spatchcock method questions

    Thanks so much! We are actually having our butcher spatchcock it before we pick it up to prepare. For only $5 extra, I couldn't justify the trouble on my end for our first time with this method ;)

    Does your kid have an Osmo Coding Toy?

    I have a 9 year old and a 7 year old. Both are asking for an Osmo for Christmas. We are already planning to get them each a Chromebook & they currently own an Amazon kids tablet, that they are both starting to outgrow. I've been trying to research these, but I still can't quite figure out what...

    Getting a biopsy: What to expect?

    Thank you. They ended up calling the night before with some info. It wasn't as scary as I expected and it went by quickly. I was also very grateful to have a very compassionate nurse, who was wonderful with making me feel calm and relaxed. The results, of course, were inconclusive of diagnosis...

    Getting a biopsy: What to expect?

    Thank you all so much. I'm pretty freaked out by all of this, but your responses about the twilight sleep are of comfort to me. How long to biopsies take to perform in general? & what does the prep part entail? They told me afterwards I will need to go to a recovery room to lie down & be...

    Getting a biopsy: What to expect?

    Thank you so much. Does the twilight sleep actually make you sleep? The way they explained it, I thought I would be awake throughout the procedure? I'd feel much less scared if I could sleep through it.

    Getting a biopsy: What to expect?

    I'm getting a liver biopsy on Tuesday & I'm terrified :( They are calling it a "medical biopsy" which I guess is shorter in duration than a different kind of one (I'm not quite sure what that means). They will put me in a "twilight sleep" which also frightens me and I'm not quite sure what to...

    Is this tacky

    Are you expecting people to bring gifts? Either way though, I don't think it's tacky. Just be sure to offer other non-alcoholic beverages (soda, water, etc)

    How old were your kids when you first left them home alone?

    Me too! & my brother was watching me at night when he was 10 & I was 6. The 80's were so much simpler! I don't even feel comfortable leaving them in the car for a few minutes to pick up a call ahead pizza. My kids would be fine, but I get paranoid that someone would call the police on us!
