You know, let's face it, you all are just jealous. I hate to say it, but there it is (insert weird neck roll and eyelash batting). ;) Camille's "interviews" are probably the hardest thing for me to watch. I love looking at some of those houses, though!

I remember when I was very young (5? 6?) my mother used to pick up toys and things I left lying around and put them in a laundry basket. I had to earn them back. One time, I left my pillow (with the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs pillow case, no less) on the floor. It was confiscated just...

Not in Canada, but Germany and I received a notice from Customs that I need to pick them up. So, they've reached Europe but are being held for ransom.

I just finished this one. I couldn't put it down, either!

I have the onion goggles, too! My DH can cut loads of onions, so I was trying to have him dice extra while he was at it. It worked pretty well, but he isn't always home when I need him. My reaction to the onions got so bad that I had to do something and the goggles have worked very well...

When we were in San Francisco for two weeks over Christmas, I had intended to get a pair of walking shoes. As I was trying shoes on, I found the Shape-ups were really comfortable and got them. Though I used to live there, my DH had never been before, so we were walking EVERYWHERE, for hours...

I just have to say that my heart goes out to your son. Possible psychological issues aside, he has a lot of extremely stressful things happening all at once that would put anyone off kilter. Adding trying to diagnose a mental condition on top of that? When my BIL is on his medication and...

My brother-in-law is bi-polar and was diagnosed some 30 years ago. In the last 4 years, he's been hospitalized twice and it falls on my husband to help his brother through each episode. He's also been the one to decide that hospitalization was necessary. To be as supportive as I can, I...

I've read all of the books but have only seen half of the second season (it's just now showing where I live). As the (book) series progresses, Eric's character, as well as his relationship with Sookie, is definitely fleshed out and explored. Having read the books first, though the TV show...

How are you getting there? Meaning, from Vegas or from Phoenix? I was born and raised in Flagstaff and, if you're coming from Phoenix, have to recommend that you drive up through Sedona to Flag along the Switchbacks. It might take a bit longer (especially if you get stuck behind a slower car...

I live in a German village and it's the opposite here. There are absolutely no sugary snacks/parties allowed. The children aren't even allowed to bring sugary snacks in their lunches to avoid problems with the children who have apples or whatnot. There was a heated discussion on one of the...

We used to live in NJ and commute into NYC. On the weekends or late at night, it would take 20 minutes by car. Our regular workday commute was 1 hr, no less, by train or bus. It was frustrating to know we weren't covering much ground and that it was just an issue of volume. Now, we live in...

I've seen a few other threads on this, and know from personal experience, that a low HR and feeling cold are two symptoms of a thyroid problem. Hopefully, your heart rate is indicative of your excellent health but, coupled with feeling cold a lot, could mean something else. . .

My DH is about as uncoordinated as they come (the Tae Bo Instructional segment was too much for him) and he's found the Biggest Loser workouts really work for him since, unlike a professionally choreographed DVD, each participant is pretty much doing their own thing. Without having to focus...

I used to have many pairs of colored sunglasses and matching socks that I would wear with my white Keds. Big earrings (hoops or dangly things) and wide, plastic matching bracelets were important. Swatch watches (with the face guard, if you were lucky) were also key wardrobe items. The great...

Hair products, especially hair spray, were vital for the big hair. I have really thick hair and had a perm all throughout high school. Some of my friends with normal amounts of hair teased theirs, especially the bangs. With all that hair, there were a lot of barrettes, banana clips and big...

I LOVE America's Test Kitchen stuff, too. I'll have to look for this one!

I have one that's called "Healthy Cooking For Two" by Brenda Shriver. I would imagine there must be more like it, too.

I've been thin (5'8" 132), overweight for a few years (190) and, after a few big life changes (quitting job, moving to a different country) a lot overweight (229). I can definitely say that even at 190, I never thought about sleep or being tired unless I'd been unusually active / stressed. At...

I thought that the date estimate was so that when we initially pre-ordered, for me that was in March, we knew not to expect it before the end of September. I mentally commended SNM for addressing concerns expressed in previous pre-sales from people that said they wouldn't have committed the...
