    Nothing wrong with eating the whole box. Just don't do it in one sitting. Stand up half-way through. I know what you mean, though. I love the cheeseburger macaroni one and the three cheese one. I make them without the hamburger (reduce the water a bit). It saves some money and fat calories, plus if I eat it all in one sitting, I only have to feel half as guilty.

    A Goalie is Needed

    Howard's wife has had a baby. Last year, Ozzie's wife had a baby. The last time Conks was here, his wife had a baby. Solid proof that even if you f*** around, Detroit will bring out the best in you.

    I'll use it if my need is that great. When you get old, you don't have a lot of options. If that's the better, you take it. The person below me keeps forgetting to

    I'm stupid. I say things I regret and then hang up. Smart people just hang up. The habitat of your favourite Ariel: "Right here on the ocean floor" or "Deep in the bosom of suburbia"?

    What's up with Zetterberg?

    Didn't we trade them to Tampa for picks, pucks, and Eric Hipple?

    Thus time? You know, back in the day, they didn't even allow the father in the delivery room (fear of germs). He sat out in the waiting room until a nurse came out and informed him "boy" or "girl". Grammas came to stay for weeks to help out with the new baby and any other kids so that the new mom could get some sleep and there would be someone around the house to cook and clean and do laundry whilst the new mom was recovering. Fast forward to this century: Dads take care of kids of all ages, including babies, and do housework. Due to this, they have to take some time off of work to do these things. 40 or more years ago, I'd have wondered why he took time off. Today, it's just part of the expected game plan. Good heaven, Beth! You can fit a LEMON in there!?!?!?!?! j/k. Your post made me laugh and your point about Rachel needing him around to help is spot on.

    I have either light (purple) amethyst or pearl. Not too thrilled with either. The person below me knows someone who still uses an outhouse.

    Gloss. Pickled herring or pickled beets?

    Cookies, unless it's white cake. Pancreas or duodenum?

    This team screams for a trade

    I'm thinking that someone hi-jacked the OP's account. Or he's under the influence. I know I've given him plusses before. This is out of character.

    Anyone else have a feeling that we'd lose tonight?

    Not totally. I was, however, pretty sure that if we didn't, they would.

    I'm not sure what you mean by "generational family". My great-grandparents on Dad's mother's side came over right before Grandma was born. The rest have been hanging around pretty much forever. (We only need one more proof of birth to qualify for the DAR.) The person below me was stunned to discover that our friend cusimano_brothers is 60 years old today.

    Why, no. No one has been that uncouth. Until now.

    Pronger injured after high-stick

    I hope that he is ok. The guy has a wife and kids who have done me no wrong, so it is my wish, for their sakes, that he recovers, returns to play, and gets to spend a lot of quality time with them, especially from mid-April until September.

    Space heaters are evil. I'm having an electrician in this week due to one that knocked out my kitchen. Better to bring a cardigan. The person below me finds this song hilarious, as well as full of memories of better times.

    Maybe it's a chick thing, but I'm glad Jimmy is getting time off for the baby. Those goalie reflexes will come in handy once JRHIV has stuff flying out of him at newborn baby speed. Did anyone else picture him in goalie attire when they read that he was present for the birth of his son? Like making a glove save on the delivery? Or am I just weird? Anyway, we'll be fine with Ty tonight. Jimmy can enjoy that precious time and then come back smiling.

    I think you are a wise man for being afraid of women. The person below me thinks I'm weird for being afraid of car washes (the drive-through kind).

    Best wishes for your family. Hope all goes well with the delivery. Enjoy the new baby.

    I went to school with Abdelkader. Nice guy.

    Hubert? Is that you? Do you still have my turkey baster?

    Official Detroit Lions thread

    I felt dirty rooting for the Vikings yesterday. Congrats to the Pack on their still-unbeaten record. I usually pull for the Packers against other teams, but this year is full of uncharted territory, like someone actually being a threat to the Lions' chances of making the playoffs/taking the division. I mean someone other than the Lions themselves.
