I'm dpoing a cleanse and wheat is one of the no no's (besides dairy, and sugar).

I understand if you have allergies, but if you don;t....... Is it that bad? I always thought whole grains were good? I totally get lowering your carb intake from simple sugars and white flour......

any thoughts?

So, I liked it, but not sure it's Best Picture material. I love the way the writer wove a life story into a game show. The boys who played the protagonist and his brother as children deserve best actor award. The girl, meh. She did not do much for me although, again, I loved the young girl her played her as a child.

It was nice to have a Hollywood ending after watching the last three films (B Buttons, Rev Rd and The Reader) I needed a boost.

Anyone else see?

I was really moved by this film. Living life backwards.

So, I'm on a quest to at least watch all Best Pictures nomination. Just watched a screening version of RR.

I'm digesting. Mat have missed a few minute chasing kid, but over all......wow.

and to think it was written in the 1950's.

Thoughts? Characters? Did you like?

I started a separate thread so not to have mommymash feel any worse by what she's going though totally get she was harmlessly venting and learned a harsh internet lesson. Ugh. Been there.

My question is more to do with a few replies she got about her employers reading her entries about them on Hipmama. I posted that I would read a public journal of anyone who was the caretaker of my child. I have no guilt or problem with saying that. Am I nosy? No, EXCEPT when it comes to the person I entrust with my child.

Ok, cookie recipe say's
5 cups of mix to 1/3 cup water.

What if I just wanted to do a mini batch with 1 cup mix?

How much water then?

So what is something, one thing, you did that was not PC today.

Me: ate cherries form Chile.

I'm switching out all my down pillows and comforter. Since my kid sleeps in my bed and she's been having chronic sniffles/allergies her ped recommended.

Anyone use mattress covers to help with dust mites? Do you cover box springs too?

So, the good news I only have to cook one thing. The bad news, it's.....The Turkey.

I'm scared. I've undercooked, I've overcooked.
I need your tried and true advice. I have about 12 people coming over (possibley 14).

Size? Advice?

I'm so loving the beauty and color off all this fall harvest. We have another trip planned to the pumpkin patch. Any tips on what to buy that I might actually be able to cook?

Ok, I'm in love with these boots

but,
a. the calf circumference is 15" (I'm measuring at 16) and

b. the price is ouchy (but if they fit, I'd splurge for these babies, they'll last a looooooong time)

So, I'm trying to find a similar boot (color, heel, shape) in maybe a lace up? Or wider calf.

Anyone good at researching boots? Bored?

Thanks,

HELP!

I'm trying to set up a school area for ALL the paperwork and to-do's in my new life as a room parent and kindergarten mama.

Cork board or Magnetic dry erase?

I like the look of cork but worry about push pins dropping on floor.

I like magnets, but hate dry erase marker smells or losing them.

help.

pantry/cupboards with dry goods. Esp, if you buy in bulk?

OK, so I bought this *Queen Of Nottingham* yesterday instead of the Dorothy. It was cheap and came with a cool head piece. Any ideas to jazz it up? I bought the red wine color.

I want to be Dorothy for Halloween, but not SEXY Dorothy. On the above link are a few reg dorothy costumes. The plus sizes will work too (I'm a 14-16) and I can cinch them if needed.

There are 2-3 to pick from and I'm getting confused. They seem the same.
Can you take a look at the above page (if you have any time) and help me? Or, if you have another better site for costumes?
Sorry, I know you all are so bored on a Friday night.

ok, so I bought this cool little sushi making kit at the county fair.

It's the cutest thing. I need some tips for those of you who make?

Can I just buy lox? Smoked salmon? I'm not so into raw fish. Shrimp (pre cooked)?

The sticky rice needs to be cold right?

OK, one left over egg from the grocery store, and one fresh from my hen.

Say, "I gotta go move the car" and leave them for 5 minutes.
