... checking on it again and the temp has fallen down to about 15…so it is cranking once again. One of my worst nightmares (as far as food storage is concerned) almost came true this week. Disaster averted, though! Oh, and I’ve already told the kids that no one under the age of 21 is allowed to ever open that freezer again!

I want you to imagine, as I did, all the things that could go wrong with the following scenario, which took place on Thursday: I needed to have my blood drawn at the local laboratory in preparation for a doctor appointment next week. I had been fasting for 12 hours as instructed. I also had my kids with me. And I had to walk to the lab, with the kids. And it was cold outside. And both girls had ...

Thank goodness for awnsered prayers. I finally remembered a little incident this morning were Quinn and Lexsie went out on the front porch to say goodbye to Bekah, and then Quinn locked Lexsie out. (Mean Brother) anyway, I realized the lovie was most likely with her at that point. Went out on the porch, leaned over the edge and there stuck between a bush and the ground was the lovie!! Rainsoaked ...

I am super short right now, and with Tuesday's price action I thought it might be a good idea to get a long position just in case we get a ramp-job Wednesday. I went through a list of some stocks and picked out CROX. My thinking is like this, we are hitting the bottom of my red sai and we have gap support at $5.15 (which we bounced off of today). It also shows a nice 5 Elliott Wave move down ...

When I returned from Maine Sunday night, my computer found a lot of errors on my media hard drive on boot up... this caused me to raise an eyebrow, but no undue concern... that is, not until I tried to play Dragon Age and every single save I had appeared to be corrupted. I'm not entirely sure how many hours I spent on the game, but my character is level 17... so the investment is ...

By KiPA Good news #1: Minnesota allowed just 22 shots in a solid defensive effort against Anaheim. Bad news: The Ducks still scored four times. Good news #2: It didn't matter anyway. Two goals in the final five minutes got the Wild back even at 4-4, they survived a power play against in overtime and then Guillaume Latendresse once again proved his worth, scoring the deciding goal in the ...

... looked like - absolutely normal, rawl plug still in place: But this is the right hand side - it had started ripping from the wall: I can't believe we almost had another wall-cabinet-falling disaster!! And it would have killed or severely injured whoever was sitting on the toilet at the time, and/or smashed the glass shower enclosure in the process! I am so grateful that I felt / heard / ...

Today I am a heroine, for I averted a great disaster. I don't normally have a late-afternoon cup of coffee at work, but today I did. And as I emerged from the kitchen, I heard the sound of falling water...coming from the bottom of the basement stairs. Hm... Down I went to investigate. Alas, at four-fifteen on a wet November afternoon, in a basement ...

... into the house and dutifully played with the sump to induce it into running again. All went well. The big tally? Sump situation likely resolved until spring. End of outlet needs to be retooled a little. Floating basement disaster averted. Groundhogs are major league little A-holes.

... box from Moolka, it really was. Linnea was in love. There was one rough moment because the little figure does not have eyes, so she wanted to draw them. I explained that his eyes are behind his goggles. Disaster averted, but we found out that Playforever toys stand up well to toddler tantrums (as well as rough love). In the ...
