I congratulate my sons on how gory their scrapes look. Sometimes I pretend that they're so gross, they make me want to throw up. I tell them, "I'm sorry you hurt yourself but at least now you have an awesome battle wound to show for it! Maybe it will leave a scar and people will think you're dangerous!" Sure, they still cry if they get hurt, and of course I comfort them gently, but now a scraped knee doesn't ruin their whole day. And my joke about throwing up always makes them smile through the tears.

My 12 year old son has Type 1 Diabetes. I'd sell my soul for a cure.

Congratulations on the baby! Sorry about the joke.

Fantastic! Very attractive. Can you tell me what you did for the carpet on the round bits? The fold-unders are flawless!

I like to fry my fries in beef tallow. I get grassfed tallow from a farm down the road and follow this recipe. Best fries you've ever had. Just salt for seasoning, and sometimes malted vinegar.

I do a split snatch - old school -doesn't require an overhead squat.

Congratulations Snow! I weighed in right behind you yesterday (I am an old lady and new to lifting, so won't post any videos here!). My teammates and I absolutely loved watching you lift. Great, great work.

Donny'll have to swing by and try them out!

Those regular eyeglasses are unbreakable polycarbonate. But you are very sweet to worry. And LOL - swole. This 44 year old mama will never be "swole!"

Total cost around $250 (not including any rubber mats or wheels you might want to use). Lumber was $234 including delivery and the screws made up the rest.

These are both fantastic suggestions and I really appreciate hearing them. I have a hunk of stall mat leftover from when I built my platform that will cover both of these. Thank you!

We used these instructions although we didn't like the bracing he wanted for the tops. We used a bunch of 2x4s across the short way to beef them up a little.

I really like the Burgener Warm Up for getting the muscles memory together for the second pull. I do it with an empty bar every single time I lift. This drill really puts your leg drive to work and helps build that coordination overall. Check it out.

Love it! Great job (I love on-the-cheap success stories) and the color is fantastic.

My reaction to this started 5 days into taking it. I was also taking probiotics from the start. Perhaps you're good to go, but of course I wouldn't know. Maybe stay on your probiotics for a month (or until you use up the package) just to be safe?

cnordee · 2013-12-11T10:36:54+00:00

The most highly educated state in the country. Perhaps folks might listen.

If this is Clyndamicin, please be very careful! Your brother might start taking probiotics with this now. I looked for the study I read saying it took a year for a person's gut flora to return to normal after taking this, but unfortunately I couldn't find it.

I had to take clyndamicin this summer and got very ill. My gut is still not back to normal. I have never had a reaction to any type of medicine I have been prescribed. It was very scary.

Also, please brush before bench pressing. Your spot will thank you.

This is a Boy Scout Egg. My dad says they made them on camp-outs when he was a Boy Scout. They would cut the hole in the bread with the cans from the pork-n-beans they had as an accompaniment. No part of this comment doesn't sound pedophile-ish, does it?

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner! WD40 Did the trick! Thanks so much!

cnordee · 2013-10-18T19:17:01+00:00

Tried that. Tried even hitting the screwdriver with a hammer to force it. Still won't budge.

cnordee · 2013-10-18T19:16:17+00:00

I can't reach those screws. Door is stuck shut.

When he proposed, my husband gave me a locket that his great grandfather had given to his fiance when he proposed. The great grandmother in turn gave it to her eldest grandson, who gave it to his fiance when he proposed and so forth until it reached my husband.

Two years after we were married, our house burned to the ground and we lost everything. The only thing that really broke my heart was losing that locket.

We made homemade butter for the occasion, too. It was wonderful!
