So my husband got up a few weeks ago and decided he wanted to live a more healthy lifestyle. He wanted to lower the carbs, increase the veggies, only drink water, the works. That was just fine for me as I want him to be more healthy and cut off the junk, but at the same time, it was quite a… MORE

I saw mention of a life altering food invention somewhere just a day or two ago. Does anyone remember when a couple of months before the Segway was introduced to the market, it was called the most impactful invention since the wheel? Most of us didn't even know what they were talking about… MORE

I dislike the new format in which the AR website displays. It feels clunky and looks clunky. The changes don't seem to be anything but cosmetic modifications that do not help the user experience at all. In fact, it has made it temporarily more difficult to use AR for certain things. For… MORE

Apr. 4, 2013 12:11 pm

Updated: Apr. 11, 2013 4:27 am

I’m happy to report that I am now halfway there in my 25 year quest to once again bite into a ripe juicy apple.

Selling your house means that you have to be flexible. There are days when I only get a two hour notice that my house is about to be shown. Clean it up, stage it and get the heck out! It has been a challenge in the kitchen. I have planned a meal and then had to put it back in storage several… MORE
