If I get a Pepco bill with a flyer advertising backup generators I'm gonna scream.

No! They don't send out flyers advertising generators in the bills, do they? Really? That's a scream.

I think you are being ornery for the sake of orneriness.

And this thread proves, once more, DCUM can argue about anything. Even ancestors.

I love Kojo -- tech Tuesdays are a favorite and I have no issues with Adequate.

She obviously felt like she was either going to lose it or that the situation was getting out of hand.

I'd send her a neutral note letting her know you'd like to schedule some time to finish the discussion, but I'd let her have some time to cool down and respect her need for some space on the topic.

I really liked Mondo. His use of color and pattern is fresh and unique.

You are a brave woman! I will have to say I think the DM gave you good advice. I don't think *any* reputable salon would do anymore processing to your hair at this point. I would go to a good salon and talk with them to see if they can do something for the night. At least get a good blowout.

I didn't watch last night, but just read the winner was Gretchen. Really? Was her show that good?

What did you think?

What is your professional training? Where did you go to school? Are you a certified chef?

You should check out some of the Personal Chef associations for help and information.

IMHO, supplements don't hurt but I think the notion that they are going to cause conditions like ADHD or autism to vanish or greatly diminish on their own is baseless.

I had a severe vitamin D deficiency. I had a whole list of complaints which I thought were the result of getting older and did not think I could change. All I can say is WOW! Vitamin D has changed my body. I have to respectfully disagree with you when you say a vitamin deficiency can't have a major impact on a body, depression and energy.

I have to laugh, as parents of children who are gifted, you are horrible with grammar and spelling.

I think most families know when the lights are off there's no one available for trick-or-treating. I know when we are done for the night, we turn off the lights and close up shop. Never had a problem.

How did you convince your medical doctor (ped) to do the bloodwork to determine deficiencies? I asked at our last appointment, but was not forceful. The doctor was not interested in pursuing, but I don't see how it can hurt to know if there's a deficiency.

DNA testing on the envelope, if it is the kind they lick.

In the Art Gallery scene with Russell and Eric, there was a painting of a landscape in the background. I loved the painting and would love more details on it. Does anyone know the name of painting or the artist? Or how I could find the answer?

Thanks!
