After actually getting the flu one year and being out of work for a full month, I get the flu vaccine every year. I figure if it prevents me from getting even one strain of flu, it was worth it. I never feel sick afterwards.

I just throw a bunch of veggies together in some stock? Like, let's see. For veggie stock: water, onions (skin on, cut in quarters), carrots (no need to peel), whole heand of garlic, apples, sweet potatoes. Maybe some tea, bay leaves, peppercorns, salt. Cook for a few hours. Strain. To stock add peeled and cut carrots,…

My coworkers all seem to microwave fish and burnt popcorn.

Start slowly, get some lost, remember every pound not gained is a success.

I knew I recognized you from my chain smoking, Morrissey loving days.

It's fine, but you could also have eaten the whole omelette.

I heard someone once say to make a game of foods for picky eaters - like, you could have an "orange food night" and put mac and cheese, carrots, oranges, something else on a plate. Or a red food night and have a hot dog, cherries, whatever. Or something.

I reread the entire series every year. I started Born in Death this morning.

also, to the OP: I have read many, many books. I don't think I can enumerate them all here.

I read those books anyway, and I am not in school, nor do I have kids. I love Tamora Pierce, too.

I remember being on food stamps and being able to buy different foods than this. Not judging, though, get whatever you wish. Actually, I am with your doctor. My brother was THE PICKIEST eater ever. Pickier than your 7 year old. Forcing him to eat vegetables never worked. He tried salad when he was 22 and broccoli at 24.…

Nice TARDIS.

I wonder if the OP expected this reaction. Seems to have disappeared.

Yes. But I don't feel like getting into the details now. It just happened. I think we waited for longer than a year to discuss.

I am not claiming they did intentionally steal it. I am saying that everyone who is saying "it was an accident" or "it was an honest mistake" does not know that it was. Since we can't tell the actual intent without being the people in question, the store did what it does - carried out its own policies.

Or even "woman arrested for stealing."

Again. How do you know? Were you there? I don't see how a biased newspaper article could lead you to KNOW that there was no criminal intent. The people *may* have deliberately not paid for the item and claimed to have forgotten it. You don't know.

I love Guy Smiley.

Tom Selleck. I had the Magnum poster on my bedroom wall.

I drink coffee with coffee.

Just realize it is a goal, and if you lose say, 6 pounds, you're still doing great!

Last week I made homemade sloppy joe sauce and served it on top of spaghetti squash instead of bread/rolls.

I don't think my food combinations are bizarre.

How would he have known? People shoplift candy bars and grapes and olives and whatever. How would you (or the manager, more to the point) know that it was an honest mistake?

Too big pants cause me to pull them up because they're falling down, not the opposite.

Technically, Lindsay Lohan does get arrested.

This was a HUGE reason my ex-husband and I divorced. I refused to stick to his "one square" rule.

For those of us without infants and therefore, without infant spoons, it just seems like a waste of money.

"working at the car wash...."

I have totally done this. I bring the wrapper / container to the checkout and put it on the conveyor belt with everything else. The cashier always just rings it up and asks if they can toss the container.
