• Tell your 'mazeophobia' to get lost

  • I have driven forest service roads since I started driving, and before that, rode them with my father fairly often. I don't get lost. I don't use a GPS, and I barely look at maps while I'm driving them.

  • So... why did a home that had been lived in for at least 60 years, by the same person, have a mortgage on it again? That was the first mistake.

• No more nit-picking? New FDA-approved treatment promises easier way to defeat lice

  Tue Sep 6, 2011
  • I'm always amused that no one mentions one of the things that makes lice treatment easier: cut the kids' hair super short and/or shave their heads. Yes, even the girls.
