pit, talk to me about college savings. i don't want this to be one of those threads that winds up with everybody complaining about how expensive wake is. i'm honestly wondering about how people save or plan to save for kids' college funds. 1. did you start saving when your kid was born? before...

http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/12/14/15907407-shooting-reported-at-connecticut-elementary-school?lite so far this year we've learned that you can't be safe in a movie theater or a mall. now it's elementary schools? this is awful :(

so i have a dog that sheds...a lot (a sheltie, if it matters). deachoopstoy appears to be allergic to her (getting tested next week, but we're 98% confident we know how it'll turn out). giving her away is NOT an option, nor is turning her into an outdoor dog. so i need recommendations on how to...

http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/05/22/11811386-vial-of-ronald-reagans-blood-up-for-sale-uk-auction-house-claims?lite that is just so, so wrong.

http://moms.today.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/04/05/11034765-octuplet-mom-i-feel-ashamed-about-food-stamps?lite she gets food stamps. her reasoning is that people already thought she was on food stamps, so she might as well get them. she also says that she should be considered an "inspiration" to...

i need a new roof. i know that there are a TON of scam artists in the roofing industry. i'm taking all the normal precautions and getting a bunch of different estimates, checking everything with the BBB, etc.. but does anybody have a particular roofing company that they trust to do a good job?

last night, i had a bunch of things recorded on my dvr. woke up this morning, and it was all gone. i'm guessing it had to do with the storm that rolled through overnight. i'm assuming all is lost, which sucks. but the odd thing is that now, it should be 100% empty, and instead it's telling me i...

i know i have asked this before (but i think it was on the quad). but i'm curious again. how much time do you spend watching tv each day? average it over the entire week, because i'm assuming for most people, tv usage spikes on the weekends. this is prompted because every day, i get an email...

for anybody who travels internationally frequently, i imagine this is a dumb question. but i just need to make sure: if i'm traveling to another country (in this case, sweden), and i have connections through other countries (both canada and germany), do i have to go through customs in those...

anybody ever had to do this? my boss sent our department a link to it yesterday and asked us to do it. no idea what they're planning on using it for (i thought it was usually used BEFORE you were hired, and i've been working here over 2 years), but wondered if anybody else's job had ever asked...

i haven't ever been. what can you tell me about it? a friend asked me to go this weekend, and told me to bring my dog. but my dog isn't super friendly (she doesn't bite, but she barks a LOT) with strangers and other dogs. so i'm really just wondering if there are TONS of other people/dogs there...

pit, what can you tell me about roombas? specifically if anybody knows anything about the pet hair roombas and how well they work, i'd be interested in knowing it. my dog sheds all over the place and it's just getting to be a real hassle to mop every single day. if it matters, it'd be used in...

a friend of mine tried to post something to my wall this morning, and wasn't able to either post to my wall or to respond to something that was already posted. i definitely never took away his ability to post on my wall. but i'm going through the privacy settings now trying to figure out how to...

i'm trying to get rid of a couch, so i took a couple of pictures, uploaded them to iphoto, and tried to post it on craigslist. when i actually open iphoto, they're there. but if i hit the "browse" button on craigslist (or if i try to browse for it to email it through gmail), it doesn't appear as...

say you have a school zone, and the school zone traffic lights flash when the reduced speed limit is in effect. then say it's a holiday, and schools are out. but the lights are still flashing during their normal times. do you have to obey the lower speed limit? this is the situation from...

the guys have had their input on women. now it's our turn. i'm 5'7'', and i prefer guys that are 6' or taller. current boy is 6'2'', and i think it's a good height. i like being able to wear heels and not feel like i'm taller and/or equal in height.

a friend of mine is currently in uganda for a couple of weeks, and randomly ran into another friend (who now lives there) while there. it made me start thinking of all of those "it's a small world" stories. i'd like to hear y'all's. i have a couple. i used to live/work in the dominican...

i'm in!

ok pit, i have some acquaintances who are distributors for juice plus. i don't know if any of y'all know anything about it, and it's really not important whether or not you do. regardless, i find the whole thing to be a ridiculous scam (and ponzi scheme), and multiple scientific studies back me...
