We travel in the fall after the weather has changed so I just pack when I'm starting to switch over to fall/winter clothing. I also buy new socks and undies for the trip so those go in when I make that purchase. I keep a toiletry bag stocked with travel toothpaste, shower gels, shampoo...

We share most items, although we do have our favorites and get a little greedy with those. Sharing allows us to sample more items.

Did she just have the rapid strep test? I had strep over the summer with very classic symptoms. The nurse practitioner nearly fell over when the rapid strep test came back negative. She went ahead and prescribed antibiotics and did a traditional test. I got a call the next day saying I did...

Most likely when they did the exchange, they did not use your original receipt so the new upc # is not tied to the transaction. Have them try to return the pants using the upc # on the original receipt. Depending on when you originally purchased the pants the system may not be able to search...

A friend of mine was once pulled over simply because the cop liked his car. True story! It was late one evening and he was on his way home from his 2nd shift job. The cop pulled him over and spent 20 mins or so talking to him about the car, admitted he simply liked the car, then said, "have a...

lightning bugs! My 4 yr old niece, however, calls them flashing bugs.

I have hypothyroidism. I have been on medication for approximately 4 yrs now. Unfortunately, it's not a miracle pill. The weight I gained didn't just magically fall off. The biggest difference I have noticed since starting the meds is that I am not nearly as worn down. If I should forget to...

One of my co-workers stopped and brought donuts in to work yesterday morning. He simply asked for "3 dozen assorted". Multiple people went over, opened the boxes, turned their nose up and made a comment because their favorite kind was not there. Others commented because the coffee he brought...

Myself and my 2 younger brothers have birthdays within a 20 day time span. My mom often did one big combined family party (aunts, uncles, cousins, etc), but then made sure each of our individual birthdays were special. She would make our favorite meal, or we would go out to dinner to the...

The Aquarium in Newport is currently having a deal of buy one adult entrance and get two free child entrances. I would also highly recommend a visit to Graeter's Ice Cream. Absolutely the best ice cream I have ever eaten, hands down! The Museum Center at Union Terminal has already been...

This...at my last company I know it to be fact that the information would not have been formally shared, but it most definitely would have been informally shared.

I'm in the midst of PT for this issue. My therapist told me as long as I continue to do my stretches that I should be able to return to normal once the pain is gone. This includes my heels and going barefoot. I'm hoping he's right.

I call my il's by their first names, and my DH does the same with my parents. When we first got engaged, 17 yrs ago, my mom made a point of telling my DH to use whatever he was comfortable with. I know he really appreciated her doing that.

I just wanted to second this post. When we lost my grandmother, the visitation was held at the church immediately before the funeral. There was a 30 min private visitation for just family (her children and grandchildren) and then about an hour for anyone else, with the Mass immediately...

Six months ago my advice would have been to go. I firmly believed (still do actually) that sick loved ones would not want me sitting around waiting for them to die, but rather to be out enjoying life, and then February happened. My mom, my sis, my aunt, and I had a girls' trip planned to...

Before buying check with local businesses. With so many things becoming digital the need to keep things in binders has become less and less. I know both my current company and previous company would periodically clean out the supply closets and offer up items to employees for free. Any...

When my grandpa died someone brought a large tray of cookies. My mom has commented many times over the last 30 years how nice it was. There were 14 grandkids ranging in ages from 1 yr to 13, and whenever one of us needed something to snack on, the cookies were easy for my mom and aunts to grab...

I use ricotta in lasagna.

I am Godmother to my niece. I gave her a sterling silver charm bracelet with a baptism charm. She is now three, and I have added a "1" for her first birthday, and a Mickey Mouse representing her first trip. I plan to add charms for all of the big occasions: 1st communion, confirmation, high...

Lol! I will let you borrow him. That way I can put Robert Downey Jr on my list too.
