Have you read both Bridget Jones books? They're laugh out loud funny!

So after spending 15 minutes in the supermarket health food isle looking for a protein bar that doesn't contain soy, I gave up and decided to ask the experts on this board. What brand do you recommend and where can you get it. I did end up finding some Prana bars but the protein content is...

Sittinduck, Have you been on the Juvenile Bipolar Research Foundation Forum (JBRF.com)? They have awesome moderators on their board. It's great if you have legal or educational questions. They were a major support for us when we were having issues with our son's special education...

Welcome to the world of D's. My son has an ever changing label, depending on which doctor you talk to. We've had ADHD, OCD, ODD, BPD, and anxiety disorder. Currently we are working with our son's therapist with the Dr. Ross Greene method. He has a book called The Explosive Child, which is...

It's our favorite place on earth. We've only been three times, but we would go every year if we could afford it. It really is a magical place. We always stay on property at Port Orleans. We open the parks and shut them down. We need a weeks recovery to recuperate when we get home-it's awesome!

My full list is too long to post, so I'll just put my top ten: Between Two Worlds-Zainab Salbi Mists of Avalon Clan of the Cave Bear-Jean Auel The Pillars of the Earth-Ken Follett The Hidden Diary of Marie Antoinette-Carolly Erickson Kleopatra-Karen Essex Leonardos Swans-Karen Essex...

RE: what does everyone I'm a mom of two awesome kids, a 12yo daughter and a 10yo son. I homeschool my son during the week and work as a janitor at a small private school on the weekend. Not very glamorous, but I love what I do!:7

I LOVED the Curious Incident! My son was first diagnosed as mildly Autistic when he was young, so I often read anything on the subject. For anyone with a loved one with a mental illness, this is a must read. It also has some humor in it but I also found it very sad. Has anyone read Clan of...

I have the Mist of Avalon at the top of my "to read" list, now I can't wait to start it. Currently I'm reading High Fidelity, which is very funny. Next on the list is Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, followed by The God of Small Things. Favorite all time books are: The Other Boleyn Girl...

No advice, just commiserating with you. Our Wheaten terrier is a cat food addict and will constantly do covert operations down our hallway to get at it. She has a very fuzzy muzzle, so she always smells like a garbage truck when she pants. Oh, and it cakes to her hair like cement, so washing...

Our parakeet, Dory, just lost her mate, Hedwig, last weekend. They would preen and feed each other all the time. I've since moved her cage to sit next to the computer desk so she gets lots of attention. She has become so friendly and will eat her breakfast as soon as I sit down w/ my coffee...

I LOVED Snow Flower, it's one of my favorites. I've picked up Peony twice browsing at B & N, only to put it back. What did you think of it? I'm a historical fiction addict. I keep trying to read other things, but keep running back to my addiction. I just finished the Kitchen Boy by Robert...

My DD takes 3mg at night and she's asleep in about 20 minutes. It's the only way she can get to sleep before 1:00 a.m. I took it just to see how it felt and I did not sleep all night long, but I'm on other meds, so maybe it just wasn't a good combo. The brand my DD takes is Natrol and it has...

Have you tried Melatonin supplements? My daughter takes it and it's worked wonders for her. She's out in about 20 minutes. Just a thought.

How could I forget "M-M-Mrs. Mulch?" from Wallace and Grommit-Curse of the Warerabbit. Anytime there's an earth shattering belch in this family, it gets the "Mrs. Mulch?" response.

My family quotes Napoleon Dynamite almost everyday. I hear "eat, Tina, eat" every night at the dinner table and "but my lips hurt real bad" a few times a week. We also seem to quote a lot from A Series of Unfortunate Events, such as, "soda, soda, banana" and "Bourdelare orphans to the...

I was just at a fair today, 95 degrees, not a tree in site, kids whining for more game money. Fun, fun, fun! I did notice a chicken fajita stand and they were chopping fresh veggies to wrap in them. It looked semi-healthy. I would have loved one, but lost my appetite after witnessing what...

My children have learned from past experience not to interrupt their mother during her "one thing that keeps her sane" routine. I'm in the basement and can hear everything above me. They know if they start fighting and I have to press pause, fire will billow from my nostrils. I also sweeten...

This is on my favorites list. I LOVED the story line.
