My "baby" son, 35 years old, is having this surgery next Tuesday. I've done some research and it looks to have a decent success rate. The mama in me is still concerned, however. Anyone here had it? Would you share your experience with me? Prayers for him are surely coveted! Thank you...

How much do you plan on spending per person and is your money spent according to hierarchy or do you split the pot evenly amongst the recipients? I usually see something I want for another person and buy it, if it's reasonable, all the while being careful to watch my pennies and pay cash...

We have some new parents and parents with young children on this board. It's customary, and appropriate, to indoctrinate them with that beloved, yet unsolicited parental advice. Serious or ridiculous, let's share: 1. This is not a democracy. Until you leave home, you must understand young...

I've not totally bought into it just yet, a slow start for me although I have watched all the episodes. Your take?

I've looked at them and they are terribly expensive. We use our Coleman coolers often, haul them around a lot and because we use them a great bit, and even with good care they seem to wear and get dingy looking pretty fast, but they still do the job of keeping the contents cold (or hot...

Using a small ice cream scoop, scoop out the cookie dough and place on a nonstick or parchment lined baking sheet. If you do not have an ice cream scoop, measure out the dough into scoops of about 2 tablespoons. Flatten slightly, pressing your thumb in the center of the ball to create a...

We are all counting down the days until September 1, but I'm missing the ticker! Is it possible to still have it with the new upgrades? Thanks to all of you admins and mods for such a wonderful and enlightening site. Your hard work does not go unnoticed! Roll Tide!

While out running an errand today, I noticed that our U.S. flag was being flown at half-mast at the post office. I didn't get the memo apparently, so I had to ask why. I was told that the POTUS had ordered the flag to be flown at half-mast in honor of the victims of the Colorado shootings. I...

Mods, I didn't know where to post this, so if you need to move it, I understand. Technically speaking, are all these championships in "one season" and is it a record to get four in one season? Anybody know?

San Antonio won out over Charleston last night for a short August getaway. We've never been there, but surely some of you have. I know I want to be near the Riverwalk (or whatever it's called). Do you have suggestions on where to stay, what not to miss, where to eat, ect.? Your input is much...

Insomnia. I get an education sometimes when I'm flipping thru the channels at night when everyone in the world is sleeping but ME. One night this week I happened on "American Transgender" and recognized the campus where one portion was shot: University of Alabama. Crimson Tide er'rywhere...

Did anyone ever identify the owner of the wet toupee being tossed around in the lower bowl? I was told that the owner of it frequents one of bars on the strip frequently on game days and that he narrowly escaped being arrested for showing his nootsy. It was also said that he owns one of those...

Forgiveness is easier for me.....but being truthful, I don't ever forget. Not to say I carry a grudge, but letting go of something and forgetting it are horses of a different color. Which is easiest for you?

Seems to me that post championship year 2009, we had numerous late games, probably due to television broadcasts, and I'm wondering if you think that will be the case this coming year. Is there any way to determine this early on?
