If you're not eating ice cream (or another comfort food) today, please share why you deserve it. I'm eating ice cream today because my husband forgot to tell me that he put big boy underwear on the kid, and my kid pissed his pants at the library.

Did I get hacked or something?

My kid has been into Tayo and Titipo lately, and I've noticed a recurring storyline that I like. 1) Central character has a difficult job, but other characters think it's easy because they've never done it 2) Central character needs repairs, but the parts won't show up for 3+ days 3) Other...

Who here drinks the most water? I'm too lazy to make a poll, so discuss!

Pretend to give a gift to the person above you. You can just type what it is, or you can post an image.

I'm looking for ideas on what to buy for my son. He's 2 now, but I'm setting a few things aside for later. I've got a microscope, a spirograph, a bunch of art supplies and coloring books, and I'm considering what else I can tuck away in my office for later. I'm open to "girl" toys as well. I'd...

I'm wondering what stuff to buy for my son, or at least what to browse and keep an eye out for good deals on. I like to stock up on things when I find good prices. My kid is 2, so most of this stuff won't be used anytime soon, but I have a shelf in my office where I'm storing things for later.

You know how some teachers and other elderly people talk about the "real world" in a condescending way? I thought it was absolute BS when I was a kid, and now I'm over 30, and I still think it's BS to invalidate the experiences of younger people in that way. Call it the "adult world" if you...

Does anyone here actually use these things? I keep getting advertisements for them, and they're so pretty, but I think it would wind up collecting dust. Will the post office even mail a letter with a fancy-ass wax seal on it?

A few months ago, I set up this writing contest, and now the deadline has passed. Here are the three entries: When a door closes . . . https://www.writing.com/main/books/action/view/entry_id/1043114 Teacher, Teacher Made A Mistake...

Seriously, I've been waiting for this to drop for over a decade:

I got this thing a while ago, and I think I'm supposed to put everything in a pot of water and boil it, but how long should I cook it? Is there a specific order I need to add things to the pot? Should I pre-soak some of the ingredients and discard the water I used to soak them?

My kid likes drinking chamomile tea and lemon zinger out of my cups a lot. It's also really cute how he always makes a happy, "Ah!" sigh after taking a sip. I have to supervise closely so he doesn't break my cups, and I'd like to have more relaxed tea times, so I'm getting him this for...

As many of you know, I haven't had time/energy to write for 20 months because of my kid, but that might change if I can get more peace and quiet. I'm not going to burden you with the details, but part of my plan to get back to writing involves setting up my office in its own room. I can't do it...

I need a recipe for this or something similar. Joke answers expected but serious replies appreciated! I've had multiple brands of chocolate with chilli pepper, and I actually like this sort of thing.

Husband wants me to buy more instruments for the kid. We already have a xylophone, kazoos, recorders, a metal drum, and I'm looking for a harmonica. Suggestions?

Prompt: A teacher disrespects students and wastes their time with off-topic rants. One student talks to his parents, and they agree the teacher's behavior is too disruptive to the learning environment. They help their son set up an independent study plan for the topic. Their son forms a study...

My husband wants me to give him recipes to cook, but I'm not craving anything in particular, so please drop some suggestions! Bonus points for things that use pinto beans. We got a 25-lb bag of pinto beans to save money recently.
