    Is This Vegetable THAT Uncommon?

    Has anyone mentioned fennel? When I lived in Germany, all the Germans had fennel and leeks in their carts. I was familiar with leeks but rarely used them....had never seen a fennel before although my American friends knew what they were.

    Help me plan the finer details of my UK Summer vacation!

    Thanks Cathy! I think we are still planning to stay in Edinburgh but we will definitely be touring Glasgow so I have added all your suggestions to the list! I'm not familiar with the Tatoo - googled it and looks like it is in August. We will be there in July :(

    Help me plan the finer details of my UK Summer vacation!

    Thanks Disney Belle, will have to add the Lake District as a possible area to explore on our drive from Pembrokeshire to Edinburgh. Yes, we definitely never planned to drive while in London. We've been there many times, this trip we will only spend 1-2 days there and just want to go into the...

    Euro getting crushed, are you going to Europe?

    You're right, it should be £1=$1.50 But that's still not bad, I've seen it close to 1:2 ratio in the past. I looked at the historical exchange rate for GBP to dollars and looks like the value of the GBP has gone up quite a bit in the past year.

    Help me plan the finer details of my UK Summer vacation!

    Thanks for that, so we will probably then research both Glasgow and Edi and see which one we'd rather base ourselves from. That sounds like many European towns, divided between a historic area and a more modern area. I have added Mary Kings Closie, Royal Mile and Holyrod Palace. This is great...

    Help me plan the finer details of my UK Summer vacation!

    Thanks so much Bad Tink! This is great info. It was bothering me that we would go sleep in Central London only to have to return to Heathrow to pick up the car. That makes more sense to sleep near the airport and just take the tube to and fro. Good to know about Edinburgh being so busy during...

    High School Class of 2015

    I'm curious about this as well. Only one of our acceptance letters says specifically to let them know if you want to decline the spot. I think a lot of people leave their options open until the last possible date - 5/1/15(?) That's great ! I would love for my son to be that close to...

    Jack Rogers Sandals question

    Keep wearing them as long as you can stand it - a few hours at a time. It took about 6 weeks for mine to finally feel comfortable. Mine are 1/2 size up from what I normally wear. I don't think I'll ever be able to wear them multiple days in a row...just not enough heel support for my problem...

    High School Class of 2015

    DS took the SAT for the 2nd time Saturday and thought the math was "hard". He struggles with math so that was not surprising. I told him not to stress, his first SAT score is not bad and he has a great ACT score. I doubt he will take either again. He plans to start his college...

    Home Warranty-- to renew or not?!

    We decided not to renew this year. We only had the warranty for 2 years and the first year the sellers paid for it. It is with AHS and cost just shy of $500 a year although it was increasing to $750 for next year. We had microwave and hot water heater replaced, A/C and garage door repaired...

    Where to find Frozen for the best price?

    That's what I thought too. I checked WM and Target price online and they were $14.99 so I thought why wait for Amazon to ship. Stopped by WM at lunch.......only to find it $19.96 in store.:crazy2: Ordering from Amazon now for $15.97 with tax and supposed to receive Friday:yay:

    Laptop Purchase Toshiba

    Wow, thanks. I can't believe that Hubs would know about this and still want this laptop. An extra $50 per month!!! I don't think so !!! I have sent him a text alerting him of this. I also sent him the reviews from Amazon but the sat service is a deal breaker to me! :scratchin
