Have you checked out the food forums on disboards? I don't eat LC, so just going off what I remember... You could always get one of those giant turkey legs! :) Cosmic Ray's in MK has a half rotisserie chicken meal that comes with green beans and potatoes. You could get double beans instead. http://allears.net/menu/men_cr.htm Gaston's Tavern in MK has giant pork shanks. And hummus with veggies for a snack. http://allears.net/menu/menu-gastons-tavern.htm Be Our Guest (fast casual lunch) has several options. The lines were INSANE when we were there in February, but maybe they'll calm down or you could time it better than we did. http://allears.net/menu/menu_be-our-guest-lunch.html Flametree BBQ in AK has rotisserie chicken and ribs and salad that could work and actually taste good. http://allears.net/menu/menu_ftb.htm Similar BBQ options at Fairfax Fare in DHS: http://allears.net/menu/menu_ffare.htm Epcot's Sunshine Seasons would have the most variety. http://allears.net/menu/men_ssff.htm Or share a shwarma platter from Morocco: http://allears.net/menu/men_tg.htm

I research on gardenweb too. Kenmore doesn't manufacture anything. Sears contracts out with various manufacturers. Some Kenmore products are made by KitchenAid, LG, Whirlpool, etc. etc. etc. It changes year to year as well. The salespeople may be biased or they may just love different features. I don't think any appliances last very long these days, so unless something gets horrible reviews, I buy what I like based on the look and features.

One of our good family friends had a rolling office chair slip away as she sat. She fell on her tailbone, fracturing it and two vertebrae. She's now had two back surgeries. She was in great shape before, had 4 children, ran half marathons, and had never broken a bone! (Yes, workers' comp insurance paid for her medical treatment, not her health insurance. And no, she wasn't milking the system. She made way more than $450/wk and was chomping at the bit to be cleared to return to work.) Freak accidents happen all the time. I try to be careful of criticizing someone else lest something similar happen to me. It sucks to eat crow. OP said she mislabeled her post. Even without that statement, why is getting legal advice a bad thing? It doesn't mean you're going to sue frivolously. Knowing your rights is important, as is knowing the "right" way to do things. Lawyers do much more than just file lawsuits, and consulting one doesn't make you a gold digger. If she had a gardening question and asked for horticultural advice, would she be pilloried?

I've worn out two pairs of these shoes (in 9 years): http://www.zappos.com/allrounder-by-mephisto-niro-black-suede-mesh I've found some cute, comfy shoes on this blog: http://barkingdogshoes.com/ Skechers GOwalks are really comfortable and not insanely expensive: http://www.skechers.com/style/13510/skechers-gowalk/gry Crocs has some new styles that could work. What about boots to wear with skirts?

Depends... Where was the game held? Who owns the facility? The chairs? There doesn't have to be negligence if you are injured as a business invitee on property. And this is a legitimate question. Premature, but legitimate. Health insurance isn't supposed to be used for accidents that are covered under another type of insurance, such as liability insurance potentially in this case. Your health insurance may refuse to pay for such an injury. Using the proper insurance to pay for medical costs is not the same thing as threatening to sue for millions of dollars for emotional distress caused by seeing basketballs from now on or something. :) Hopefully it's just a bruised tailbone and some ibuprofen and a nice Epsom salt bath soak will take care of everything. ETA: If you are injured to the point of needing medical care, the insurance carrier would 1) tell you whether they are accepting the claim and then direct you as to how they do things (either the doctor bills them directly or they reimburse you) or 2) tell you they are refusing the claim and then you would need to pay out of pocket NOT through your health insurance and decide how you want to proceed.

I encourage them to eat a protein (cheese, nuts, nut butter, hummus) with fruit or vegetables. We go through lots of the tiny cucumbers from Costco. Blanched green beans, carrot sticks, sugar snap peas, and grape tomatoes are popular veggies. Roasted chick peas are good and can be seasoned a bunch of different ways. Popcorn too!

Baked Lima Bean Parmigiana (I usually use cannellini beans) from Mark Bittman. Recipe here and elsewhere online: http://community.cookinglight.com/showthread.php?119973-ISO-Bittman-s-Lima-Bean-Parm-Recipe No-Crabs-Allowed Cakes from The Moms' Guide to Meal Makeovers One 15 1/2 oz can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed 1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed 3/4 cup preshredded mozzarella cheese 3/4 cup dried bread crumbs, divided 1 large egg, beaten 1/4 cup light mayonnaise 1 TB bottled or fresh lemon juice 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning (I used lemon pepper) 1/4 tsp salt Pepper 1 TB olive oil 1/2 to 1 cup pasta sauce, warmed 1. Mash the beans in a large bowl using the back of a large fork or spoon until smooth but still a bit chunky. 2. Add the corn, cheese, 1/2 cup of the bread crumbs, egg, mayo, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste and mix well to combine. 3. Shape the mixture into eight 1/2-inch-thick patties and coat with the remaining bread crumbs (I used an ice cream scoop to portion). **These hold together better if you refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes before cooking.** 4. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over a medium-high heat. Cook the patties until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. 5. Serve with warm pasta sauce for dipping. Black Bean "Love Cakes" from the Flying Biscuit Cafe http://www.pba.org/programming/programs/atlanta_cooking/flyingbiscuit/ These are good with a fried egg on top!

I would rub it with your spice mixture, freeze, and roast it straight from the freezer. Add about 50% more time than usual. Do you have a meat thermometer?

I'm so sorry. I agree with the others on not emailing anything. I also wouldn't reveal her diagnosis to anyone. I liked the wording someone used earlier about helping her catch up or something equally vague.

Scalloped potatoes came from a box when I was growing up. Nothankyou... Now THESE are amazing, especially with more garlic and a little Dubliner or Gruyere cheese on top (which makes them au gratin but who cares?!?): http://epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Kathleens-Potatoes-Pascal-109456

Depending on the buyer's financing, they may not be able to take cash away at closing. I would just list the house as it is and let buyers negotiate. The last house we sold, the buyers had an FHA loan and there were sticky requirements. They didn't have the cash to fix the issue and FHA didn't allow them to walk away with cash, so we had to fix the issue before closing. Ours was very much a buyers' market. I shudder to think of it!

No, like long distance calling cards! This was 1998. They were tucked in during the family viewing. His daughter added a sentimental stuffed animal, and his sister put in AT&T cards.

My mom's husband was dying of cancer for 2.5 years. His sister, who lived locally, showed up to "help" for the first time--after hospice had taken over his care. She appears at the door with all kinds of juices and was frustrated that my mom wasn't interested in trying to get an unconscious man with hours to live to drink a smoothie... Yeah. She also put calling cards in his coffin. Anyway, there's a time for suggesting alternatives and a time for hugs and thoughts of peace.

Do you live in the US? Spanking is legal here as far as I'm aware. I think Delaware has the strictest law. Heck, schools can spank in 19ish states! The therapist is likely a mandated reporter, but she would have to suspect abuse. Not that I'm an advocate for spanking as discipline, but a swat won't alarm a therapist. The therapist should be able to give you some techniques more effective than spanking, especially to resolve anger issues.

We had nicer ones as couches and guest accommodations during grad school and a little after. They were pretty comfortable as is but one of those cheap egg crate pads made a huge difference. If you don't want to buy one of those, I'd throw down a thick quilt or comforter between the futon and a fitted sheet. And what's comfy is relative to one's age I think! ;) I'd definitely get a cover for it even if it were only being used as a couch.

Who exactly is responsible for pulling the applicants' ROEs? How are interviews being conducted? Who is responsible for calling previous employers? Can you ask her about her ROE in the interview? Something like, "You state you were fired from Company X. Tell us what you learned from that experience and what you have done or will do to prevent a similar situation from arising."

Another thing I didn't know I "needed" until I found these forums... Thanks for the heads up on the Office Depot coupon! It was $62.99 in store for me too before the 30% discount. PP, 40 miles = at least 2 gallons of gas which would be more than $7 savings! :)

Costco or Trader Joe's Does your family like honey as a sweetener in yogurt? One of my kids does, one does not, and then one is too little! Also, puréed fruit (blueberries, peaches, apples...) can stretch real maple syrup. :)

Waterhog mats from LL Bean are great for catching some of the crud at doorways. I have them inside and outside the main doors. They can be hosed off outside to clean them. I hate tile too! I was so glad to move and get rid of our old ones.

I agree with the PPs who have said NOT to return the bracelet to the store. You or your son could wind up being arrested and prosecuted. If his parents want to incur that liability, that's their business. I think I would want to know if my child were stealing. I would prefer to make the parenting decisions around such knowledge rather than another adult doing it in surrogate. If you do talk to them, be prepared for them not to believe you.

Has her thyroid been checked? Pregnancy and nursing can really throw off everything!

Depends on the location. Rural areas might see more action earlier. Urban, later. College town, even later.

I bought Kidz Gear based on amazon reviews. They've survived several years here.

Put his clean, unfolded clothes in his own laundry basket in his room. Does he get an allowance? Charge him for unnecessary laundry service.

I like the Montessori "racks and tubes" visual explanation of long division.
