    Does anyone love their dishwasher? (and I don't mean your spouse!)

    I like my Bosh for cleaning -I don't like how the racks work. I almost wish I had brought a few of my glasses in and tried them out -they are almost too tall for the racks. I like the quiet. We have the kind that has the filter -so it has to be cleaned occasionally. We also have the 3rd rack...

    What Do You REALLY Think About Guests Bringing Food?

    One time I was hosting a work event for my husband. It was catered -paid for by the office. The caterer had plated the desserts in individual servings. The guest of honor walked in the door and handed me a cheesecake from Sams. Said she just couldn't come to dinner without bringing...

    Anyone else having shipping issues with online retailers this year?

    Belk canceled two items days after the order was placed. Otter Box used Fedex Smart post -which was a disaster and they had to send me a new one after 18 days with no otter box. Kohls and Talbots did well -but compared to Amazon seemed really slow. Avon was pretty quick

    Hot water bottle or heating pad helps with the pain. It won't make it go away any faster but it might make you feel better

    I really like the old school french onion dip (sour cream and packet of lipton's dry soup mix) with almost anything. Good with veggies or chips Also goat cheese with honey drizzled over the top and pecans or walnuts then serve with bread rounds

    Go through neighbors trash?

    Call Staples and tell them what happened. This happened to me too. I was 99 percent sure my neighbors had the package. I didn't ask them -we don't talk much. Amazon sent me another one Then 2 months later -my neighbors bought the package over -pretty strange right?

    Feast of the Seven Fishes

    I have never had it or known anyone who does (I live in the South and my ancestors were Scotch/Irish). However I want say that I think it is charming. I love the idea of carrying on traditional meals. It would be sad if we were one big homogenized culture.

    Parents, would you be okay with this?

    But aren't you usually doing those things (playing football etc..) either with a group or along side someone else who is doing it? I am not saying this music teacher is terrible -I am just questioning if this is the BEST way. Also some of my PE experiences were horrible. If you are THAT kid...

    Parents, would you be okay with this?

    I think it depends on the goal. If you are out to punish a child for not participating then this is a way to do it. If you want them to learn about music, enjoy the class -then I think there might be better ways. I think the biggest difference between doing this and a math problem is math...
