I say go for it. I once rolled up a pair of jeans in a purse because we were eating at a nice restaurant for dinner, then hitting a bar for live music afterwards. If I can hide jeans, you can surely stash a pair of shoes to stay comfortable!

No turkey here...I cannot STAND turkey, and since I'm the cook...well... :rolleyes1 It's just Dad and I, no other family, so I do a small roast with all the usual trimmings. Potatoes, corn, gravy (beef), stuffing (cheap store brand in a box), and cranberry sauce (in a can, of course). We...

I have a pineapple punch recipe. You need a jug of cheap white wine (I use Carlo Rossi Rhine Wine), 2 medium cans of Dole pineapple chunks in juice, and a liter of ginger ale. Pour the wine into the punch bowl with the pineapple and juice, and let it sit in the fridge for a day before the...

We have a half-season hockey package, and it works out very well. I love hockey, but I cannot imagine going to 41 games. I'd be calling hooking penalties in my sleep! It's never been an issue to sell tickets, regardless of how the team is doing, and they also offer an exchange plan if you...

Count me in...a sad group to be a part of! I lost my mom in July 2007. This is the first year Dad and I have remotely gotten into 'The Christmas Spirit.' In 2007 we ran away to Las Vegas for Christmas and didn't put one stitch of decoration up. It's difficult to see all the commercials...

We usually do a mix of both. We ALWAYS take either Disney transportation or a cab when going to Epcot, ESPN Zone at Boardwalk, DTD....just because we like to enjoy some beer and wine on vacation and don't want to worry about getting home later! When we do drive, we have a little map and follow...

My parents just KNEW I was a boy. Knew it. Positively. I was going to be Kurt Andrew. Well, out I came, two weeks late no less, and I was most definitely not a boy. They never thought up girl names, so they used the same initials, and I became Kimberly Ann. Ann is the middle name of my...

No pics, since I'm at work and don't have access to them, but we have a 'tailgating bin'. It's a rubbermaid container with all the non-perishables we need that we end up forgetting. Tonight is opening night for our hockey team (yay!) so I have 1.5 hours of work before I'm out of here to...

Can't post pictures yet, but we lived in rural upstate NY. We 'adopted' a bunch of outside strays who did NOT want to come in. But we caught them, fed them, let them live in our mudroom, and eventually managed to have them all spayed and neutered. Not before a few litters though! I got to...

I was an only child, and Santa never wrapped anything for me. My tree spot was front and center, with my parents' gifts on either side, and all my gifts from Santa were attractively arranged in front of the wrapped gifts. Santa was a smart cookie, because he opened the toys and set them up so...

I'm about to crawl out of my skin, I think the clock is going backwards, I'm so ready to get out of here see our own home opener tonight! I grew up in Albany in the days of the River Rats being the Devils' AHL team...$5 Wednesdays on the glass. Can't beat it! Now they're the Hurricanes' AHL...

I love the Hurricanes...our opener is Friday night. I can't wait to peel out of work, get to the parking lot, drop the tailgate, and toast the beginning of another season of hockey! It's been a looooong summer. The beginning of hockey season is an occasion to celebrate. We spent the...

My heart goes out to you. It IS all about your mom, the PP is absolutely right. Times like this are scary and frustrating, but humans are capable of so much more strength than we give ourselves credit for, especially when a loved one is involved. I'll be praying for you and your family, and...

I'm so sorry for the emotional upheaval this is causing you...all I can offer is hugs. My mother passed away a little over a year ago, and my dad has yet to even move his wedding band to his right hand, let alone take it off. He isn't ready to meet anyone, but he is creeping closer. And I'm...

Nope...I remember it well. They took the exact opposite approach. They sided with the accuser and were calling for the noose before the investigation was halfway through. Funny how that works.

Mine wasn't so much the wedding from h*ll, I just wanted to divorce that particular branch of the family.... My cousin was getting married for the second time, and he called me and asked me to be a bridesmaid. I had NEVER met his bride before, and in fact he ditched my best friend to move in...

I HATE the mucus blob seetting up shop in someone's lungs..makes me gag. The commercials that currently bother me the most are the Kentucky Fried Chicken ones. WHY are they playing Sweet Home Alabama? Last time I checked, Kentucky was not in Alabama. It irritates me to no end. :confused3

My first one came from my Daddy, he always calls me Punkin or Boo. Some of my friends call me Roch, pronounced like scotch, because of my last name. The most universal nickname I have is K-Train, one of my friend's boyfriends gave it to me and she started calling me that at work. My...

I don't regularly attend church, but my mother does and recently joined a church here in Raleigh. We used to live in upstate NY, and she was a member of a Prebyterian church there, and a deacon. (Forgive me, I don't know which Presbyterian, I believe there are two different factions, USA and...

When I get home, I have to go in my bathroom and look behind my shower curtain...as if someone will be hiding in my shower waiting to kill me when I get home. Right! I am freaked out by bugs, and when I lived in 'The Ghetto' apartment complex, I made my father come over to dispose of a...
