    And all the weirdest news stories start with "Florida Man...". Just sayin'. 

    I love NC. We want to move back someday.

    It actually has to do with the press laws and police in Florida. So it’s not just that crazier stuff happens there, but the press has immediate access to all the dirt.

    Why is nobody popularizing the "Monkey Diet" as the way humans should truly eat in the same way the Paleo diet etc. has been promoted?

    I imagine it may be an easier sell because Paleolithic man was human. While we share a common ancestor with modern apes, that many millions of years of evolution that changed apes that much was bound to also result in a smidgen of change to the ideal diet or the digestive system.

  3. My 12 year old son is in ballet. Not one person has ever said anything stupid, either to him or to me. I can’t imagine my response, but it would likely be, I hope you’re kidding and not just a sexist idiot. Which is probably why nobody has said anything. ? I focused on finding him a school with boys, because yes...instructors often forget there is a boy there. On the upside, they often feature prominently in recitals.

    So here's a question: Would you cut a man some slack or else think less of him, if he couldn't spell his kids' first names, and his defense was that the kids' mom chose the names? Would your opinion change if you saw the kids' names and they are creatively spelled as well as unusual?

    There would be no slack cut. No slack at all. I mean I can memorize a social security number, a meaningless string of characters, I can memorize the spelling of my kid’s name.

    Many of these posts have me dying to guess, in a goofy sort of way.  If I accidentally do that with the kid of a poster, I apologize - I'm trying to contain myself to the ones with a story about somebody else's kid.

    So for Quill's story - I think the name is Kardashia.

     

     

    Arsonio.

     

    HHeattherr?

     

    Heather was my first instinct for that name too! Maybe Ammberr.

  6. I had my 5th baby in the NICU with a cleft lip and palate. The thing that took a burden off of me was feeling like people were helping with the emotional and physical needs of my other children. A Meal train was organized for me, and people picked up and dropped off my kids at the time places they needed to be.

  7. If you do a lot of slicing, a mandoline might be nice. I have one that I’m trying to get in the habit of using so I learn how to use it and actually save time. I definitely cook butternut squash just cut in half in the oven. I don’t peel and dice it. Partially because I can’t stand how it makes my fingers feel. I also roast cabbage in big slices in what I call my “Duggar pan”. Which is a giant restaurant sized pan that barely fits in my oven. But when it comes down to it, I spend a lot of time in the kitchen.
