Didn't your brother do that in camp one year...right before your bar mitzvah? Or his?

Got mine at Costco for $278, I believe.

You will LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT! Jeff has one, with the Wii Fit, and my deal with your uncle was that if you are going to schlep me to the frozen north, I need a Wii so I have some way to exercise in the winter that's FUN. I do have it and I love it. You can use it in your living room, I...

I am on my second bread machine. The first, Welbilt, was great, but eventually died. The second, Toastmaster, was good until it decided that every other loaf should come out so large that it spills over. I give up. I want to be able to bake a large loaf without having to clean up around it each...

Been using this for a while too. If you don't touch it for a long time (I think like 4 hours) it might ask you if you're still there! One of the best apps out there! I use it on my iPod, my husband has it on his iPhone, and of course, it's on our computers. What geeks we are!

I'll go back to when my kids were little and enjoy their childhoods all over again. Only this time, knowing the outcomes, I would be more patient where necessary and more strict where necessary. Or I'll go back to college and take some more useful courses than Old English. Or I'll go change...

Welcome from yet another former Jerseyan (Kendall Park), now in Wisconsin! Where in NJ are you?

I LOVE parsnips! They are the magic ingredient in my family's chicken soup recipe. I also use them in pot roast, or just as a vegetable... microwaved, steamed, or boiled till soft. If you boil them, save the water to add to chicken stock or to boil rice in. You can also roast them. Mash 'em with...

Another use for unwaxed, unflavored dental floss: use it to tie up your bird before roasting. (You can floss its teeth, too.) I also use it when I'm making a bouquet garni, to tie off the cheesecloth.

Bring a flashlight and a marble with you when you visit houses. Put the marble on the kitchen counter. If it can't stay still on the counter, you may be dealing with a stove that tilts to one side, which is a pain when you are cooking. Use it to check the floors, too, to see if they are level...

Eat at mom's.

This is a super easy recipe. But it is an unusual texture and taste, and a big hit whenever I make it. The original recipe calls for a box of spice cake mix, but it wasn't available when I made it the first time. I have since used: chocolate cake mix (delish) Carrot cake mix (awesome)...

Hi Marymwg, Where in Wisconsin are you? I am in southeast, Cedarburg, home of next week's Wine and Harvest Festival. We just moved here from the east coast, and I was starting to wonder if if ever rains here!

I had them in my 40s. Will never forget sitting in the sun at my nephew's outdoor college graduation, in the HEAT, and absolutely miserable. It took a long time for me to get them diagnosed, cuz I didn't think it was something to show the dr. The usual path for shingles is along a nerve branch...

While making a baked chicken dish yesterday, I re-read the instructions on my can of cooking spray; a store brand. I never noticed this on any other brand: it said that, after spraying, you should heat the dish before adding food! I don't know what kind of difference it made, but I did it, and...

Agreed. What makes it kosher is the lack of additives, and it is of course a coarser grind.

I use a french press with regular drip grind, because I am too lazy to grind my own or buy it separately. I have gotten really good at it (a far cry from the lousy cup I made for your almost-sister-in-law a couple of years ago) and I actually prefer it to drip coffee now. I have a single-serving...

Hubby and I just went through this. After much lying down, comparing ridiculous prices, and getting recommendations from people, we went with a Verlo. If you have a Verlo store near you, check 'em out before you make your decision. We saved about a thousand bucks and love the bed. I don't know...

kids of parents who exercise are that much more likely to exercise and kids of parents who do not exercise are less likely yadda yadda yadda. GB, may I introduce you to... your father? Yeah. However, I don't think you need to blame your shape change on genetics as much as on your great...

You're welcome. One of the things I am proudest of is being co-founder of a support group in the public school for parents of children with special needs. We got the school district to take us seriously, and I was even able to be on the panel that chose a new director of special services for the...

My mom is a great cook, and my sister and brother followed in her footsteps. My brother does all the cooking in his house. My sister is so good, she can go to a restaurant, taste a dish, and come up with all the ingredients. I've seen her amaze waiters. I'm an ok cook; my kids think I'm...

Hi Kathe, I am quite familiar with apraxia. My son didn't have that, he had global dysphasia, which means that he could not process language either coming into his brain or going out. Most people only have one or the other (expressive or receptive) but he was born with both. It is also very...

Hello and welcome! I live in SE Wisconsin (just moved here from NJ) and so far we are loving it!

We've been living in Wisconsin for three months and are so sick and tired of BF, I think we will have a party tonight to celebrate his move... to our PREVIOUS state! (No matter what they call it, the Jets are in NJ!) When you have a news station that starts at 3:30 pm and goes until 7, it's...
