So not too bad! I got a 1 lb bag of frozen brocolli cuts (cheaper than florets, and I actually like the stem), le...

Announcing pregnancy - NOT mine
(Preview)
I know this has been discussed before but at what time do you feel it would be appropriate to make it widely known? One of DH's friends just made the announcement on facebook at 1.5 months.

I hate raw onions. HATE them. But they are automatically included on so many things, so I must be in the minority! So, I thought I'd make a survey.

Any IT/internet suggestions?

We have 50 mbps internet. We had issues at first that it was being strangled by the router to less than 2. We fixed that. Now DH's Apple laptop gets the 45+ and I am only getting 10-16 on my Dell Windows 8.1 laptop. Anyone have ideas of what to look at to see why this is happening?

Prom and what happens afterward...

On the "What would you pay for this dress?" thread, some people seemed upset or alarmed at the thought of people getting a hotel room after prom. So I thought I'd put up a poll, that covers both "you as a kid" and "you as a parent".
