Hate the handles on Allclad. I''m thrilled with my calphalon contemporary stainless though. It''s dishwasher safe, oven safe, easy to cook in, and very comfy to hold. Also rather affordable. The only other pieces I use are 2 annodized calphalon skillets (for eggs), a cast iron skillet, and a enamele... |

If his first priority for the trip isn''t the wedding, you should not cater to him.... He should arrive several days earlier to get all that relaxing and frolicking out of his system! Or stay longer for that! No, nobody should be expected to participate in every single event, but they shouldn''t exp... |

My mom wore gold slippers with her dress in 1964. I wore blue sandals. Nobody said a WORD and I was completely comfortable in them. Plus I then wore them on my honeymoon! wear whatever you''d like! |

I JUST got back from a DW in Playa del Carmen and I loved it! I haven''t been to Cancun to compare, but this was my 2nd trip to Playa. The first time, I stayed well out of town at the Mayan Palace, but this time we were right in the middle of the downtown area, 2 blocks off 5th Ave, right on the bea... |

We''re doing a very small budget Christmas, and I''m doing couple gifts, not individual gifts. This isn''t really a "complaint" but I think it''s kind of funny when my in-laws say "oh, just get gifts for the kids" and we do... but because we don''t have kids, it''s a one-way street. I don''t expect ... |

I confess that I''ve been avoiding PS for several months because I found it oppressive, but as a Hopemonger from way back, I am SO HAPPY this morning! I am so relieved!

We adopted our kitten Jack from the Howard County Animal Shelter and they were great to work with. It's a large shelter so I'm sure they'd be in need of fosters for kittens as well, and I believe they do work with the Howard County Cat Club as well as the Animal Advocates. If she's willing to go a l... |

I''m so glad to hear I''m not the only one suffering from this. I''d never heard that it was connected to astigmatism before, but that makes sense. My astigmatism is slight, so it isn''t being treated with my contacts, but when I told my eye doc that I had trouble seeing at night she said "everybody... |

Hope everyone is ok! My brother''s in-laws live in Willis, near Conroe, and lost their roof and had their house flood. They are safe, but it was quite a bit of damage and they are pretty far inland. My heart goes out to my fellow Texans, even if I live far away now. |

Absolutely nothing. I live in the city. We have emergency stuff in the trunk... a shovel, snow brush, washer fluid, a blanket, flashlight and jack/spare, but inside the car itself we have nothing!

We joke that anytime there is a little bit extra in checking, one of the cats gets sick. It always seems to work out that way. "Oh, you thought you could spend that $500 on something fun?

I''ve only witnessed it once and I called the police. They arrived within minutes. I was impressed by them taking it so seriously, but they said it is indeed a police-worthy matter and they popped the door open. I didn''t stay around to see what happened after that. This was in a suburban area. I do... |

I haven''t ironed in about 4 years, but when I did I set it up the way you do, Ellen! Recently DH asked me if we HAD an iron. We do. Two of them actually. I just don''t intend to use them! I''m of the "take it out of the dryer immediately and you won''t have wrinkles to iron" group. |

Definitely! I live in a rowhouse in Baltimore and the side effect of being all squished together means that we all know each other, whether we want to or not.

I got married in Texarkana, which is on the border of Texas/Arkansas. I had originally thought about having the wedding in my grandmother''s backyard, which was in Texas, but after looking at the restrictions on the license, I opted to have it at the country club, which was on the Arkansas side.

Thanks everyone!!!! DH isn''t so sure yet. He said "It''s going to take some getting used to..." but he did say "I don''t hate it." I think it''s more of a shock to him than anything.

Thank you! And thanks again for the kick in the butt for trying to do it myself! I''m so glad I got it fixed, and I''m glad I found this little local salon.

Better. MUCH better!!! She handpainted in a mix of 3 different colors, leaving a few strands of the "old" color as highlights. It will fade a bit more but I''m very happy with it!

BriBee - He said no because he didn''t want me to go darker. He didn''t think I''d like it, and well, if I go darker I don''t have to spend $180 with him so often.

Oh, I don''t think I explained properly. It''s not uneven at all. It''s just not dark enough. Too dull and not as intense as I was hoping for. It''s not stripey or anything like that.
