Re: Tips: 7 or 8-qt slow cookers?

I bought a large (6 qt) programmable crockpot when my smaller (3.5 or 4 qt) one broke at the handle from age. It was bulky to store and heavy to take out and use. I ended up giving it away and going with a 4 qt crockpot again (Crockpot brand). The [more]

Ugh! Reaction to CC balance

After having gotten out of debt at various points in our lives, we've been CC debt-free for a long time. Recently, due to DH taking a new job and having to rent and furnish an apartment in another city, buy new clothes, etc. we pushed our CC up to a [more]

Re: NYT: Female Viagara

Non-consensual, coerced. Like being asked to take something to enhance your libido for someone else's purposes, not because you yourself think it's a good idea or something you want to do.
