Personal Trainer
How do you, personally, feel about hiring a personal trainer? I've seen several "Most of them have no clue what they're talking about" type comments, so I'm curious.

Silicone Bakeware
I know I posted about bakeware just the other day, but would like more input on Silicone. What do you like or hate about it if you've used it?? The storage factor appeals to me, but the quality of the food is top priority. I like food, yo... Or I wouldn't be here :)

People that cook & bake...
I need to buy all new bakeware. Everything from Mixing Bowls, 8x8, 9x13, bread pans, pie plates, etc. My boxes seem to have accidentally been given to GoodWill instead of taken to my new home when I moved. So, recommendations? I cook - a lot. They must be dishwasher safe. I've heard the new Pyrex is a nightmare, and don't…

Child born with extra digits...
Yeah, I'm bored... So, Once upon a time, I volunteered at a home for teen moms. We'd watch children (under the age of 2) while their mother's were in school. The volunteers were all assigned specific children while they were there. My one little boy, Marquis, was about 3 months old. I was feeding him a bottle and he was…

Grocery Store Sushi?
Our grocery store just started selling sushi. I don't know how to feel about this. So far, it just feels... awkward.

"Gourmet" Recipe Suggestions, please?
Once/month my girlfriend and I host a non-family dinner simply b/c we like to cook. The goal is to be amazingly delicious and nutrition has nothing to do with it *LOL* Our next dinner basics are: Mixed Greens with Grilled Shrimp w/ Lemon Vinaigrette Coffee/Pepper Rubbed Prime Rib Roast Sky Blue Potatoes (essentially twice…

OK, Kinda stupid question - Bacon :)
When I was in Ireland this spring, their Bacon was AMAZING. Real, beautiful meat. Here, it's this odd fake-ish meat *LOL* IS there a way to get the same bacony goodness they had there here in the states? Is there some fancy gourmet online store for example?

I need to vent about my ex!!
OK, I'm venting... My ex-husband takes our five-year old son to the zoo on Saturday. Great! We talk and agree he'll drop him off at 3:30 for me to take him to a pumpkin carving party. I remind him to bring me his backpack so we can do his homework, as well as his halloween costume that he borrowed the weekend before and…

TV vs. Monitor?
I want to get a small-ish TV for my bedroom. Here's the thing, I don't have cable. I use an antennae, Hulu, Netflix, and the wonderful world wide web... Would I be better off getting an actual monitor and hooking my Laptop up to it? I'm, clearly, not techie :)

OOhhh! I'm so excited! My three footer has a loose tooth!
He's so excited to lose his first tooth (naturally at least). And I'm totally cheesed to play tooth fairy! I may be a little too geeked over this... But party with me!

Apartment/Real Estate Problem... Any Insight?
Long story as short as I can make it. Apartment search led to a very old historic building that I very much so liked and was a great price b/c all utilities included. I was shown the second floor apartment (which is their furnished model), but not the third floor unit I would actually be renting as they needed to renovate…

Awesome Drunk Stories...
Story time. I'm bored. I was 8 mos pregnant and sleeping when I heard my husband come home sh*ttanked in the wee early hours. He bounced off the walls of the hallway like a ping pong ball. I fake sleep for fear he may want to have sex... or worse... talk. We had a beagle mix. At night, we'd give her a femur bone with a…

My faux boyfriend was in a hit and run...
The short story: Very elderly woman did not stop at red light, but turned right on red into BF's path causing him to choose hitting a street lamp instead of her. Extensive damage done to his car and minor injuries to passenger that required treatment. A witness followed old lady b/c she did not stop. Witness called the po…

Most Embarassing Moments!
I'm freaking bored... and working the front desk b/c the receptionist is sick, so I have no work to be done. Entertain me with stories of your idiocracy? Pretty please? With garlic mashed potatoes on top?

Honest Question - Men & strip clubs
What do you think of Men that frequent strip clubs? Let's say, Guy in question has friends that work at the club, friend's wives/SOs that work at the club. So he goes frequently, stating it's no different than any other bar... Discuss. This is an honest question. I need an outside perspective to figure out my own feelings…

Showing Off...
So, I've been doing some arts and crafts for my son's future Superhero Bedroom when we finally settled into our new digs in December. I'm liking the way this is coming along :) It's kind of fun, although time consuming as hell...

Dam* you insomnia!!
Woke up at about 12:30am... I know the remainder of my night is doomed *sigh* Count little lambs? What fantastic remedies do you all have (since no one is here to read me a story & play with my hair;)

Did any of you turn a FWB into a... relationship?
So, I was talking to my girlfriend at a Halloween party and found out her husband and her started out at FWB and didn't so much as have a discussion about the "status" of their relationship for about a year... I found this interesting. I don't think I could go without some sort of defining conversation for a full year. If…

I hate candy... and cookies... and cake... and ice cream...
I only like small pieces of real (and preferably dark) chocolate... and the occasional bite of cheesecake. After hearing of all these candy cravings, it makes me delighted I just don't like them all to begin with *LOL* I have enough problems with cheese.

I need a nap...
I think there's something magical about 2:00pm... Lunch is digesting and my body is telling me it's definitely siesta time :) If only the management agreed!

The cat has been shaved...
Although my kitty shaving thread was yanked yesterday because you're all a bunch of sick perverts, it ended quite successfully with minimal injuries :drinker: It's rather hysterical looking... Moist.
