I agree with a lot of the less harsh comments here: lay off the judgement! It's often a joy to sit down with my husband and share our favorite tv show together. Often, it's a break from the verbal "dumping" that occurs when we first see each other after work. We get to laugh and relax before conquering the evening's chores and needs. We don't do it constantly, and we make sure that we're together without the entertainment most meals, but it's still a welcome addition.

Not the flu, but I received really bad health news a couple of day before Thanksgiving via a CT scan. Needless to say, I "ruined" Thanksgiving for both sides of the family. It kinda worked out, though, because both my in-laws and parents came to our house and we had an impromtu thanksgiving in our apt. It was wonderful having both sides of the family together for the first time since our wedding, especially considering the circumstances. When Holidays Go Wrong: Sick on Thanksgiving |

Is there a website that lists local butchers? I don't think I've ever seen a shop like that in the metro DC area. Why Buy Meat From a Butcher? |

I put pretty much everything in my freezer bags, including carrots, etc. Haven't had a problem so far. It did turn pink once because of some rainbox swiss chard, but I didn't care. Stockpiling Your Scraps: What to Save & Freeze for Stocks |

I'd think a inflatable tub or something plastic would be hard to sit on and relax. I think it'd feel like an infant pool. Maybe a galvanized tub? Anyone Have Experience with Portable Bathtubs? Good Questions |

Those are all great options. I learned the hard way that buying flannel sheets that are one-direction was a mistake. I got some sock monkey sheets and I love them, but one side (the top) is worn out more than the bottom. Now they're upside down monkeys! Getting Cozy: Kid Friendly Flannel Sheets |

I like the little stoppers you put on your door hinges to keep the door from opening too wide. It works great and there's no need for anything to be sticking out the floor - you really never see it. Replace Ugly Doorstops with Fantastic Finials Landee See Landee Do |

I'm curious about memory foam too. That's what we sleep on and I've had mine for two years. It doesn't show any wear and tear or change in shape. So I'm guessing it's still good to go. How Often Should You Replace Bedroom Pillows? |

I'm saving some of these for my son and I love the idea of having them as part of his room later. I'm thinking sewing them on some denim curtains or throw pillows will make a retro/travel room even more awesome. Ideas To Save & Display Patches Good Questions |
