My question is, why do women get so concerned over their shortness? I've never met a guy that has said "oh I can't date her, she's too short." I get men, because I hear all the time women say they can't date a man because he's "too short" (which is weird because most of the time when I hear that, the dude is taller than the average American man). But I think height of a woman is very rarely a factor for men, unless it's on the tall end.

depends, I'd know how I'd date someone Snooki height (would be awkward), I'm guessing people over 6 feet tall think that way as well.
 
Introducing food to kids is hard sometimes. When I ask friends or even the Dr's office they're pretty vague about answers. "Whatever you want, just not honey or egg white, peanuts, and dairy until they're one"

Do, do you try out the birthday cake before the party so you don't have to stop the party to run them to the hospital?

And yes, I do realize how paranoid I sound.
Pretty sure my mom did all four of those before one. She was .500 on hitting food allergies with me. Granted they were in the same incident, but still.
 
The numbers geek in me just CAN'T let this one go by. 100 times 10 minutes is NOT 10 hours. It's 1000 minutes, or about 16.67 hours.

I feel better now.


yeah, I realized that later when I went to recalculate using 5 minutes. Let's just ignore my math there.
 
I have been growing out my beard for a couple weeks and it is now at that stage where it looks good and is getting too long for me to shave it comfortably. Should I continue growing it, or just shave it all off?
Once you get past the stage of semi-looking like a pedophile, it's all golden. The worst is behind you.


I miss my beard :sad:

I'm of the mind if you're allergic it may not matter when you introduce the food. Yet, I really really don't want Z to be sick.
 
How do all these damn flies get into the house?

I can understand a couple once in while when going in or out the door, but I've already killed 5 this morning and another one is buzzing me while I'm CF-ing.

Going to Filling Station in Davenport for lunch. Love their mega-huge-ginormous tenderloin!

Well, that was disappointing. Some time since the last time I had one they changed from a real piece of meat to that ground up thing. I don't like that! Still huge, but not a real tenderloin in my book.

This is true.

Best part of the incident was that when my mom took me to the doctor, he just shooed her away. Just another overly worrying mom about a "normal" rash and fever-like symptoms. After the second time, they went to a different doctor. Haha.
 
I'm pretty sure the half of caseys pizza I ate for lunch is now slowly eating away at my insides.

From Healthychildren.org:

"The good news is that food allergies are often outgrown during early childhood. It is estimated that 80% to 90% of egg, milk, wheat, and soy allergies go away by age 5 years. "

I looked this up because I had a nephew whose mom gave him eggs as one of his first foods...scramble them...nice and mushy, right? He broke out in hives and started vomiting. They kept him off eggs but never had it diagnosed. Later when he was closer to 10 or so, they mentioned it to a doctor who insisted they have it checked....he wasn't allergic to them. Apparently it went away.
 
cause everybody seems to want models? IDK, It'd just be nice to reach things and have capri pants actually be capri pants.

Pffft. "Normal" jeans are capri pants on me...well, clam diggers at least.

And yes, I am also asked to get 2-liters down for ladies at the grocery store, or bags of chips. (Not as dangerous if they fall, but still a pain to get) Used to work in the deli department at a grocery store, and they'd always ask me to get the hunks of meat that were all the way to the front of the case. Problem is that while I have really long legs, my arms are actually "normal" sized. I'd be crouched down, my arm in the deli case all the way up to my shoulder, and I could juuussssttt get my middle finger on the front of the hunk of meat to get a grip on it. No fun.

Oh! The OTHER thing I hate. Stores that hang signage or decoration way too low off of a ceiling. I've had it where it just grazes the top of my head, which makes me think "What about the guys that are taller than me? They don't shop here?"

Well, if we're going to talk deli cases, let's segue into salad bars. I have to stick my head UNDER the sneeze barrier in order to reach the offerings at the back. Pray I don't sneeze (or drool).
 
Nope. I realized the visual as soon as I clicked submit. So now all y'all are picturing me as this doddering old lady who drools. Enjoy!


Too bad your hubby isn't on here, I'd PM him and tell him to goose you when your head is all the way under...no way you're making any sudden movements with food mere inches from your face and the sneeze guard right above your head, and stuck way in there....it'd be worth it.

He's not on here, but some of the people on here "know" him. He's in the CF Clan in Clash of Clans. And I will guarandamteeya he would NOT consider it worth it. Remember, he has to sleep sometime... :)
