Wow that sounds like an amazing book in the most awful way. My Poppa was in the regiment that liberated Auschwitz. He always got very emotional when trying to talk about that experience. The soldiers didn’t know what the Nazis were doing when they came on the camp. Can you imagine?!? My uncle's experience exactly--he was haunted by it.

Welcome Reagan Joy!! It is so much fun watching puppies and kittens discover the world around them. She will bring so much joy to your family, and I have puppy envy.

What is this interesting creation? unhealthy comfort food mix browned ground beef with a can of cream of crap soup, a bag of shredded cheddar cheese, and a bag of corn. spread in a casserole or baking dish and top with tator tots - bake at 350 for about 30 min. or you can mix breakfast sausage, eggs, and cheese together and top with the tator tots for a breakfast version My favorite!! Thanks also for the hamburger cheese soup recipe.

One time, my uncle was cooking potatoes in a pressure cooker for lefsa (Norwegian potato bread). The pressure cooker exploded, and he had to clean potato from the ceiling and other places.

Your furbabies are adorable!! As everyone said, contact the owner, write a review and take your babies somewhere else. You will never feel they are safe with this person again.

It is not appropriate, but I had a Boss from Hell who would yell at us and stand in the doorway. So glad she left.

They are gorgeous! Looked them up on Replacements and your dinner plate is $80 just for a single plate. The only way to know for sure if they are dishwasher-safe or microwave-safe is to put a single piece in (like a saucer or something trivial) and see if it's OK at the end. Or maybe ask the folks at Replacements Ltd: I'm sure they can't guarantee it but they probably know whether or not it's OK to nuke and dishwash them. Seriously? Sheesh, I had no idea. Maybe I should rethink the everyday use and leave them in the boxes. I'm a clutz and no doubt I'd be breaking some. Replacements Ltd is a great idea. I'd forgotten about them. Thank you. I say "Use the good dishes." Life is uncertain, and when you look at them, you can relive childhood memories.

I wouldn't, even though I "knew" I have always played along and never revealed that I knew. I "knew," but played along that last year. I knew that my mom saved my last doll, Giggles, that I received that year, but when I opened Giggles' box after my mom's death, I discovered my first baby doll nestled in with Giggles,

Normally this stuff doesn't bother me but I had a conference call a few weeks ago with a government reporting agency and damn if that woman didn't say uh or um like 12,000 times! It was so distracting I could barely focus. Our university has a vice president for advancement who does this, and it is distracting.

Stop! I think I may be getting hives just thinking about it. These darn kids getting married and adding extra spouses to my list. LOL I don't know how I'm going to handle it if grandchildren come along. My grandmother gave money to her six children and 11 grandchildren.

I worked for decades with someone I strongly dislike, and now that I am retired, I don't have to deal with her. She is still making co-workers' lives unpleasant.

I have Pfaltzgraff dishes. Had them since 2000 and only 2 dishes have chipped in that time. The rest all looks great. Pfaltzgraff was sold to a large corporation in 2005 or 2006, and production then went overseas. The quality then greatly decreased.

I saw this last Thursday at the grocery store: someone parked so close that the driver of the next car could not get into her car. Two people have done that to me previously: one time when it was 30 degrees below, and I had to get to a professional meeting and couldn’t. I usually keep my mouth shut, but that driver got to hear my opinion.

I eat lutefisk, as is the tradition coming down from Norwegian grandparents. I, however, microwave it instead of boiling it and straining it with cheesecloth, the traditional way.

This is one of my biggest fears also. A relative accidentally killed her daughter's beautiful Siamese cat. I am so glad you heard your cat and could save her. I would take her to the vet for a look over to be safe.
