A Shrimp Boil???
OK, Apparently I'm helping with a "shrimp boil." What this is, I don't really get... I'm a north woods girl. But, in theory, I understand there will be shrimp... boiled. And Corn on the Cob. I'm supposed to be in charge of all other side dishes. I could desperately use some suggestions!! I'm guessing there will be roughly…

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
OK, It KEEPS coming up in the movie thread... I was seriously told it's a "must see." Is it incredibly sad? Like Hachi sad? Disturbingly real like The Pianist? Completely effed up like Changeling? I need to know if I can tolerate it or if it comes off the list....

The word "Ladies"
In a professional setting, do you find the word "Ladies" appropriate? Inappropriate? Condescending? Does it matter if it's used in an email vs. in person? Heated debate here.... Disclaimer: I'm referring to the word "Ladies" being used to address a group of women, not men, you freaks.

Real Estate Help!
I'm in the state of Wisconsin. I'm currently renting a home that the owner would like to sell to me. I would like to buy it. The first step, IMO, would be to get an appraisal (the value is really quite unknown). Here's where I'm confused... Does he hire an independent appraisal? Is that agreeable to the bank? Do I first…

At what age do you draw the line on being a bridesmaid?
Do you have an age where you can't imagine being a bridesmaid in a full on, big puffy white dress, 250 guests, formal wedding? Have you ever said no to someone? I hate to say it, but I have no desire to be in an attendant in a wedding again. Maybe if it was a small destination wedding type affair, but in a formal, church…

Creative People - Team Name Suggestion?
I need a team name for the Color Run. Here's the tricky part... Our team is a bunch of random people with nothing in common that don't really know each other. Other than the fact that we all have boobs, there really is nothing to go on here. Thoughts?

Head Lice...
I just got an email from my son's school that the lower grades have had several confirmed cases of head lice. If my son comes home with lice, I'm putting him up for auction. That's where I draw the damn line. *shudders*

The little things that suck about being single...
Generally speaking, I am perfectly content being single. My life is pretty damn stellar and I have no complaints. However, there are moments when I just blink... like a deer caught in headlights... and think, "OK, this is why I need a significant other." Not literally. But I just had one of those moments. A friend just…

Any Car Smart people out there???
I... know zero about cars. Let's preface this with that... My 11 year old Tribute is making a very odd rattle/clunk whenever we go over a series of bumps. It sounds much like the wheels are just going to fall off and my car will bottom out *LOL* My ex-husband drove it and said "I don't know, maybe you need your tie rods…

Quinoa - Blame the Vegans... Eat more bacon.
Probably shouldn't stir the pot, but... well... I'm bored, so why not. I like how this article randomly blames vegans as though we eat meaters can't/don't eat quinoa?
