Really? What was gross about it? Was it too bitter, sweet, spicy?

Has anyone tried their new recipe? They changed their pizza on December 27. We wanted to try it tonight, but I'm wondering if it's worth spending the money for. I saw them test it on Fox News a few weeks ago, and the anchors could not tell the difference at first, so I'm just wondering if anyone has ordered from them recently and what they thought of the pizza. Supposed to have new everything...sauce, cheese, crust...everything.

Aw, your poor kids! My best friend's friend just got back from there a few days ago. They are both in the military. I can't imagine how you and your kids feel...

Lol...my parents never told me, either. I just always knew what sex was. I guess from TV because they were bad and let me watch R stuff from the time I was about to watch TV. They were just lazy! Of course, I remember my dad covering my eyes or telling me to look away at times, but I knew what was going on. Yeah, I really do not want to get too specific with him when he asks again. Another concern is him knowing what we're doing when we lock the bedroom door. LOL. It is hard enough for me to separate myself from the mommy role without my son knowing what is going on. Of course, he is almo

That is so sad for his family and friends. He must have been a great person...RIP!

about the actual act of sex? When did you tell them about the mechanics of it? I think it's better to talk about it sooner rather than later vs hearing it from John Doe at school, but I'm torn at the same time. My son is pretty mature about stuff like that and I want to be honest with him when he asks, but I don't want to explain that stuff too soon. My mom seems to think now is a really inappropriate age. He just turned 5. But sex is EVERYWHERE, and I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he didn't already know what goes where. Lol. I can't ever remember not knowing. I'm asking because this m

90 Minutes!

As much as I didn't want to be pregnant when I found out, I think the best thing to happen to me recently is this baby. I have realized and learned so much about myself through being pregnant this time. It has made me a lot more appreciative of my husband and has helped me to cherish our relationship more than I ever have. All that being said, I am still not ready for a third baby and there is still so much that I have to do in preparation for it.

How awful! P&PT for him and your family.

Above anything else, I would change some things that I have done in the past, but that wasn't really the question. I guess right now I would erase my memory of those things.

I have the book you are talking about and I'm glad it comforted you so much! But, for anyone interested in reading it...I encourage you to research the author prior to buying it. After my granny died, my aunt read a book called Embraced by the Light (I believe that is what it's called) and told me to read it. I read it and was not happy with it, so I got this particular book instead. I did not finish it because after a few chapters I did some research on him. Not trying to discourage anyone from reading it...but it is good to know certain things before reading a book like this that will oftent

I am always torn between things like this happening by chance as part of our free will to make our own decisions (i.e., she chose to go to Haiti and just happened to be there during a disaster) or God being in control. Either way, we will never understand when it is someone we love, and grief is just as great. All you can focus on is the person she was and great things she did with her life. I'm so sorry for your friend...I can't imagine losing my child, but hopefully faith in seeing her again one day will bring some measure of comfort. She was down there doing great things and helping people,

I missed this thread. Sorry about your ordeal...hope you feel better very soon!

We use TurboTax too...last year we got back more than we ever got with any other service. Of course, we did have another kid, but even without that credit it would have been a lot more. It is very thorough and asks you all types of questions. You don't have to be an expert at all...they completely guide you through it. I personally would not use a company that has been known in the past to cheat people. TurboTax is cheap, took less than 30 minutes, and we got a good amount back!

I think what happened is horrible, but horrible things happen every day and in every corner of the world and I can't donate to all of them or think about them continuously. My thoughts and prayers are with them, and I will probably donate what I can (have not done so yet), but there's not much more you can do than that. I am a little tired of the comments by some on CNN and Fox and other news outlets expressing anger that many people are not giving and to skip their weekly pizza or McDonalds trip and give. Well, that's well and good, but people need to give because they want to and not because

I need the password, too...never been in there!

There is no head in the picture,so don't feel bad. Lol. It is just a shot of the femur bones of the leg and the girlie parts. They call those types of pix "toilet shots" for obvious reasons. Lol.

That is most definitely a baby girl. You can clearly see the labia, there is lack of a scrotum, and it is just all girl! Before I got pregnant I was deciding between Chattahoochee for nursing or Coosa Valley Tech for ultrasound, so I'm very familiar with ultrasound pictures since that is what I was considering doing. But even someone who has simply had a girl before should see that it's a baby girl.

The guy said I do have a check engine light, though it is not lit up. I have four codes...oxygen senor heater circuit malf (sensor 1, bank 1) whatever all that means, then an emissions system small leak, an emissions system gross leak, and a cylinder 5 misfire. Steven tuned it up recently, so I don't think it is the spark plugs...must be the coil pack or fuel injector per the emissions guy. So, I don't know...all of that will probably be several hundred bucks. I have no idea what the emissions system leaks are all about...guy said something about maybe gas cap for the small leak.

Yeah, the sodium is probably the toughest for me. I don't get much sodium with breakfast or lunch with the way that I am eating now, but dinner is probably pretty high. I figure, though, if I'm eating well the other part of the day it shouldn't matter much. I am a salt freak, though. My favorite thing to eat is sliced tomatoes with salt. Ah...

I heard about this before...just terrible. Really makes me feel like a perfect mom when I read terrible things like that. What they did must have been really horrible for them not to give any general details. Very sad.

That is great...are you strict with diet? I am a huge cookie fan and am bummed that I should probably not resume eating cookies after the baby is born. I will bake Pillsbury cookies and eat 5 or 6 of them...terrible. Lol. Maybe I need one of those diabetic dessert cookbooks. *sigh* I am sorry about your miscarriages I have read a lot about GD possibly being the factor in many fetal deaths/stillbirths, and that is probably making me worry more than anything...even though I know most outcomes are good.

Oh, definitely!! I was back at it 2 or 3 days after my second baby. Lol. I couldn't wait, and I was the thinnest I've been since I got pregnant with my first. I'm just a hypochondriac and thinking about all the family risk that is present...and combining that with symptoms that I have had for years. I've had poor circulation/tingling/numbness in my feet since high school...and the blurry vision comes and goes. I don't know, but I'm upset that I have to drink that drink again...I was fine drinking it, but after my appt when I got home I was shaking...and was very hot/cold at the same

I exercise like CRAZY...step aerobics, kickboxing, etc...everything I did pre-pregnancy with some slight modification, if needed. My doctor says it is okay since I was doing it before, and I did it all through my second pregnancy. My first baby weighed 7 lbs 2 oz, second baby weighed 8 lbs 3 oz...curious to see what this one will weigh.

In the beginning of December my doctor decided to do the 1-hour glucose test with me (which I never had with my other 2 pregnancies) because I had already gained 15 pounds (I think I was like 22 weeks). That may not seem like a lot to some, but it's abnormal for me. In my first pregnancy I gained 18 lbs total. In my second pregnancy I gained 21 lbs total. So I gained under the recommended amount with both babies. So to gain 15 lbs at about the halfway point was alarming to him. And I was exercising. I really thought that perhaps it was the way I was eating. I ate a ton of "junk" food, lots of
