    Baby - T-0 and Counting!

    Will go offer my congrats on that thread. I just wanted to say this to anyone who is looking for advice for their own wives... DO NOT use castor oil! It is not supported by medical professionals. It dehydrates a woman's body so much that her body tries to preserve itself by going into labor...

    What is your favorite soup?

    Or if the person knows who Rachel Ray is, call it a "stoup" i.e. too thick to be a soup, too thin to be a stew. Most. Annoying. Rachel-Ray-ism. Ever. The southwestern corn is also yummy nummy goodness. Here's my favorite soup. I make it every 3rd or 4th D&D night and the guys always like it...

    Anime Recommendations

    I'm an old married girl (32 LOL) and these are the ones that I've liked. Although I haven't watched too much of it lately, and I don't mind gore at all. Little to no gore on Girlscale: - .hack/sign - Lain - The Last Avatar Some gore: - Fullmetal Alchemist Gory: - Hellsing I tried the...

    Online Social Networking

    I'm interested in this also. I've been trying to network my MMORPG art site on MySpace but it doesn't seem to be working.

    Roommates: A rant and request for advice

    I think that we've messed with our cycles so much since the 1960's that a lot of women have cycle issues and don't ovulate regularly because of it, which would throw off a modern survey. I have also worked in all-female offices and we have all been getting the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups out of...

    Tips for an Expectant Father

    LOL @ the cover-the-wee-wee thing. I just read in BabyTalk magazine this morning about a mom who was changing her son's diaper and she had his legs up at just the right angle that he was peeing into his mouth :confused: That'll be me *sigh* We just found out today it's a boy! Huzzah! If...

    Roommates: A rant and request for advice

    Keep this in mind too... when women live or work together, their monthly cycles tend to sync up so that they are PMS'ing at the same time. Picture it... If you'd rather gouge your own eyes out than deal with both of these girls with PMS, maybe look into alternate arrangements. I honestly...

    Roommates: A rant and request for advice

    From the female perspective, I agree with this advice. Sounds like these ladies are a little young and a.) not used to living with roommates, and b.) used to getting their own way. They need to learn to grow up and play nice with others. In the business world, when they have jobs, they will...

    Stardust (Spoilers)

    But .. but .. Robert DeNiro in drag?!? I hate Clare Danes so I won't be seeing it, probably.

    Jackson could still make The Hobbit

    Is Jackson planning on using the same actors for Bilbo and Gandalf? If so, I'm all for him doing it. If not, well... I'd probably be ok with another director, unless it looked a lot different from the LoTR films.

    Good but obscure movies you've recently discovered...

    I really liked "Identity" with John Cusack and Amanda Peet. I didn't catch onto the twist until the end, although they gave me ample opportunity. Of course, I didn't get the twist in "Sixth Sense" until the last possible friggin' minute, either :( Me dense...

    Tips for an Expectant Father

    Our kid will only get to watch Warner Brothers cartoons (his idea) and "Dot and the Kangaroo(mine). That's it. Ok, not really. But that's what we'd prefer. Anyway, I'm 5 months pregnant with our first as well (waves to her husband who she just directed to this thread but he said he had to...

    One piece of advice...

    What a person looks like has no bearing on what kind of person they are. If you are ever in a place where you don't think you can make it another day, sleep on it. When you wake up in the morning, you will realize that you can make it.

    English Grammar and Spelling

    It's from gaming parlance. Gamers frequently miskeyed "own" as "pwn" and it stuck. Same as ending sentences with !!!1!1!! ... they were trying to type !!!!!!! and their finger slipped off of the shift key. So some folks like to make fun of it by typing !!!one!!eleven!! and so on. I'm guilty...

    How to handle a dud of a party

    It's never ok to respond to a breach of etiquette with a breach of your own. The proper thing to do would be as others have suggested and just stop inviting those people over; only mention why if they ask. I think a lot of people nowadays overbook their lives and some of them probably had a...

    English Grammar and Spelling

    The only time I ever pulled a grammar-police badge on someone on a forum was when a lady wrote "renigged" instead of "reneged." I found it offensive, possibly racist, so I sent her a polite pm telling her she might want to spell it correctly or someone might get really upset with her and I'd...

    Innovative horror novel recommendations

    Oy. Are these in Olde English too? I spoke it once when I had to read every. single. Canterbury. Tale. in college. I think I've blocked it from my mind. *thinks of the Prioress and curls up whimpering in the corner*

    Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows - POTENTIAL SPOILERS

    I think perhaps part of it is that Hermoine has emerged from the stories as a strong role model for young girls. I've seen advice columnists refer parents to the novels and have their daughters read them to get an idea of what a strong, capable girl is like, rather than a vapid twit. So...
