My husband, my 20 y.o. daughter and myself are planning a day trip to Block Island next week. Since we will only be there for the day I don't want to waste the time with a so so experience. We are leaving on the ferry out of New London, CT and leaving the car behind. Assuming the weather is...

We are renovating our kitchen, so excited to get rid of our much hated narrow wall oven. Gas is too expensive to hook up so I am getting a conventional stove. Trying to get some feedback on which is preferred (and why), glass top or electric coils. Thanks in advance!

I need to make a lot of hot chocolate for an upcoming church event. Due to the anticipated number of cups we will need we decided to pre-make the hot chocolate in a 100 cup urn. Individual packets or scooping out of a canister would be a nightmare for a lot of reasons. Has anyone out there...

OP here...your posts have been so helpful! All of them! I have shared them with my husband and he was blown away by all the input. We have been discussing this ad nauseam and we plan to chat with her tomorrow night. I have been planning my/our words very carefully. I have no intention of...

Wow...so much input, thanks! I agree that a 2.9 isn't bad, however with her current semesters performance it will be much lower. I agree that a high GPA isn't everything. She doesn't have a strong desire to do any one thing after graduation. She took on business as a major but it has heavy...

My younger daughter attends a state college (she lives on campus in a dorm) about an hour from home. She has been an average student all through the years and has always struggled with course work and testing. She gets by but she often needs extra help from my husband or myself as well as...

After many years of no exercise, I have finally gotten in to a walking routine several times a week. Living in CT, winter can be a bad time for my daily walks. Anyone have a recommendation for a good workout video that I can do in my living room? Just looking for one that is fun and gets me...

Just found out last week that my DH needs open heart surgery to correct an aneurysm that measures 5cm. They have been tracking it for a while and it has grown 3mm in a year. We had our first consult today but I would love to hear if anyone has personally experienced this condition and/or open...

We watched the same show! I was close to filling out an application on line but I thought I better ask the question of others first. Kind of glad I didn't go through with it after reading these responses.

This always intrigued me...I love to shop and work in retail. Is it worth exploring?

My recent college graduate daughter landed her dream job in Santa Cruz. So excited for her! She has to be out there April 1st...we live in CT and are trying to find out anything we can about the area. Anyone have information or opinions they would like to share? She is hoping to rent a...

You guessed right...we get lunch there at least two times a week (take out). It's great to just walk down the sidewalk and grab a meal. Always plenty of good food for the price! Lots of food choices in Oronoque Plaza, except for the Chinese buffet I recommend them all!

I live in CT and Restaurant Impossible came this past April to a restaurant in the shopping plaza where I work. Very exciting for our little corner of the world! Currently the restaurant is hanging on BUT they pretty much dumped everything that RI advised them to do. The menu was made so...

I know there are a zillion youtube artists but these two guys are beyond talented. Go on youtube and type in Michael Henry and Justin Robinett. I love to listen their covers and originals. Treat yourself and listen to their latest cover of Separate Ways by Journey. You will be hooked! .

We are a family of big feet too! My husband is a 14 and my daughters (21 & 19) are both 12's. I have had luck shopping in Big & Tall shops for my husband and plus size sites for my girls. At least the shoes don't look orthpaedic! Socks have been a challenge too! I have to look for the extended...

Just wondering why my thread "how did your husband react when..." was closed. I was really enjoying the responses!

Shipping GAL here...I manage a UPS Store and we do not have a "service charge" on our shipping rates. We charge the same as any UPS hub would charge.

We're trying to plan our summer vacation. I have two girls 13 & 15. We are not a beach going kind of family. Exploring a major city sounds good. We've been to Montreal, Atlanta, New York. Any ideas? We're from CT, anything within a 10 hour drive would be do-able.
