Girls - What perfume do you wear most often?
I've been wanting to try out a new scent. Mostly I stick to Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy, Britney Spears Midnight Fantasy or Victoria's Secret Ooh La La.I think I might get Gucci II next. But what do you use? Why do you like it?
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
Usually I like more natural earthy scents, and stick to essential oils, or mix my own. I don't like smelling like every other girl you walk by on the street.But otherwise, I wear Betsey Johnson. I like it because it doesn't smell like every other perfume out there. It's unique and grabs your attention. The scent is almost intoxicating and it lingers nicely all day, until it finally tapers off to just the very base notes.-Top Note: Pear, Tangerine, Grapefruit, Blackcurrant -Middle Note: Freesia, Lily Of, The Valley, Red Apple -Base Note: Cedarwood, Sandalwood, Praline, Amber, MusksI also really like the original Juicy Couture perfume, but never owned it personally. I'd always steal a spritz or two from my friend's bottle though, haha.-Top Note: Watermelon, Mandarin, Passion Fruit, Marigold, Hyacinth -Middle Note: Tuberose, Wild Rose, Lily -Base Note: Caramel, Creme Brulee, Vanilla, Patchouli, WoodsI'm a big fan of Moschino, but have only owned their I Love Love, and hope to get Moschino Couture next. I've never tried any of the Lolita Lempicka perfumes, but reading about them and the scents that go into them makes me want their entire collection, haha. Some day, some day...

Givenchy-very irresistible is awesome (:
i LOVE viva la juicy! I wear it most of the time when I do wear perfume. I also have some really old perfume from seriously like 5 years ago from american eagle. it's called aura. it's nice for a change if I need to use it as a substitute for a shower after working out or something (as gross as that sounds lol.. I promise I hate not showering after a workout, but sometimes I'm pressed for time!).:)
I wear Burberry Brit or The Beat usually Brit though, in the bottle it doesn't smell all that great but when I wear it I always get compliments

Lucky You, Lucky Number 6, Just Me, Gucci Rush, and Lanvin Oxygene
for an everyday scent, I just wear vanilla oil. it smells great, it's cheap, and the smell really lasts. its a better alternative to cheapo body sprays, and you don't have to waste the expensive stuff on like school and stuff!

Show and Tell: Do You Have a Secret Collection?
Do you have a habit of collecting bottles of olive oil? A weakness for exotic salts? Trouble resisting yet another kind of chocolate for your baking?
We'll share our secret stash if you share yours...
For us, it's tea. We knew we had a problem when all the boxes and bags and tins no longer fit on our "tea shelf" and opening the cupboard inevitably caused an avalanche. We don't even remember buying all these teas! Somehow they just...collected.
A healthy array of options is one thing. This motley assortment of tablespoon portions and individual bags - many of which are quite likely past their prime - is something else entirely.
In an effort to get ourselves under control, we think its time we made a mid-year resolution. Henceforth we will abstain from anymore tea purchases until this collection has been pared down to a more manageable size!
What collections do you have hidden away in your kitchen cupboards?

tea, most definitely
...oh and espresso cups even though I don't have an espresso machine. I just love them and have a cupboard full
Tea, all kinds of tea. I love all of them! Also, flours such as ww pastry, bread flour, all purpose, etc... I use them all fairly regularly, but the immense variety in my cupboards is a little out of control.
Crap. I collect all of those things...40 salts, 30 teas, 7 chocolates, 11 sets of espresso cups, 20 oils.... and a few more...
15 Mustards
20 vintage serving trays
6 sets of canisters
and endless jars of jams, jellies, pickles, and preserves.
I'm in therapy.
I collect tea, tea kettles, and wine bottles, which I need more room for.
*ahem* wine *ahem*
Olives. Stuffed with any number of wonderful things. Makes for interesting Martinis.
Green coffee beans, sitting quietly in little 1 and 2 lb bags in a neat little green coffee library in my cupboard, awaiting the day when they'll be roasted into fabulous coffee glory.
cheese! obviously it can't get too out of hand because cheese gets moldy. I just moved into a new place and in my fridge, I have just milk, some produce, peanut butter, and mustard, but already 5 kinds of cheese.
well... homemade Rhum flavored with different kind of organic dryed fruits: current, pear, papaya, banana, fig, mango, pineapple, apple, and more...
I'm a little embarrassed to admit this but I collect Tabasco sauce bottles. We go through a lot Tabasco in our house and I can't bring myself to throw the bottles away. I have over 40.
also, dinner plates and coffee cups.
Spices and spice blends. I have a drawer full that's sort of expanded into the cupboard above. My excuse is that I work next door to a Penzey's.
I think it's less about "collecting" and more about hoarding food. Take me to a farmer's market and I'll try to buy everything (especially if there's seasonal produce), even if it's more than I could realistically eat.
Cereal. I always have at least 5 different varieties hanging around. You never know when you're going to want Kashi Go Lean...or Fruity Pebbles.
Definitely tea, and also random blue bowls. Wine doesn't stick around in my kitchen long enough to be considered a collection :/
First- Trader Joe's Jasmine Green is amazing.
Second... I'm all about tea, too, but even more specific: Different kinds of Earl Grey .
Herbal Tea - the day I found out that celestial seasonings has a best before date stamped on the bottom was eye opening.
And I bet a lot of us have secret collections of condiment packets - soy sauce, ketchup, etc.
vinegar! all the usuals and many fruits.. 8 different balsamic... white wine, red wine, rice wine, apple cider, raspberry, pomegranate, orange, orange lemon, etc.
... somehow I have ended up with 30 different vinegars and don't get me started on my oil collection. I don't know how it happened.
Spices. I think it would be fun to alphabetize them, from Anise to... ummm... Turmeric? Which of course would just inspire me to go out and pick up some Wormwood, and hmmm, are there any spices that start with Z?
I have a bit of a cheese habit, too. And wine, though it rarely hangs around like enough to be a problem.
And let's not talk about the alcohol -- I have two kinds of vermouth, two kinds of bitters, port, goldschlager (?!)...
Well, these aren't hidden away, but rather on the walls: my aprons! Probably about 15 of them, mostly vintage. I loooove them.
I can't seem to go to the grocery store without buying a box of pasta, and although I am half italian, I can't eat a pound of pasta a day, so I have tons of pasta in my kitchen. it is all de cecco, but all different shapes.
add to my already large pasta collection the fact that every store near me stopped carrying my favorite shape (the baby shells) and so now I have to get them in bulk from amazon.
Tea, for sure. I seriously have got to have like 30 or more.
Seaweed (yes, I know).
Sweeteners (agave, 5 honeys, 4 sugars, splenda, xylitol).
Sauces, mostly asian.
Flours (rice, potato, coconut, baking, AP, whole wheat, soy, bread...).
for me? Antique barware although neither my husband nor I are much of a drinker. I just find them to be lovely.
I also collect fruit crate labels for decorating the kitchen. I love the punches of color
Foodwise, would have to be rice for me but it is not much of a collection. I guess I tend to have about 8-12 types at any given time.
i am a tea and cereal collector. i realized last night that we have about 7 different kinds of green tea. who knows how many kinds of black tea?! it's an illness, i know, but the stupid grocery store i go to has a whole wall of tea next to the checkout line. it is perilous.
Recently stocked up on dried mushrooms of all varieties. I can't wait till the weather turns gray and I can pull them out for stews , risotto, and pasta! Oh yeah, have different vinegars, spices galore, different flours when I'm on my no white flour kick, always have a dark chocolate bar FOR EATING, and have been better about not buying tea when I still have a cabinet full. My limit is the space I have for this stuff. Whole bean coffee in freezer that will last me a yr. because Iâm trying out different kinds of Sumatra. The exception to the space rule is jars and jars of sour cherries and different kinds of jams. I think it's time to make some crepes and invite friends!
Tea (and I see you're a tealuxe fan! I worked there for a summer after high school). Also teapots and tea sets. If I ever throw a brunch for exclusively tea drinkers, I will be all set. Otherwise, it's a little bit of overkill.
I also collect vinegars, which I didn't quite realize until I opened my cupboard last week and it was packed with them: balsamic, sherry, zinfandel, raspberry, white wine, rice wine, cider, and so forth.
Finally, my freezer is packed with chicken bones, carcasses, and stock. Homemade stock is just so useful.
It's not really a food, but food related - I am absolutely addicted to William Sonoma's novelty cake pans. I love how they look, I love how they bake. Trains, cars, bugs, hearts, anything! Any time I see a new design, I can't resist getting it.
Really, who can resist having an octopus pan?

...And the other shoe drops. Disney World raises ticket prices
Written by Robert Niles
Prices go up Sunday, June 3.Tweet
One-day tickets go from $85 to $89, topping Universal Orlando's recent price increase by $1. A 10-day base ticket goes from $291 to $318. The park-hopper and 'water parks & more' add-ons go from $55 each to $57 each for base tickets of two days or more. (Park-hopper remains $35 extra for a one-day ticket... but why would you buy that?)
Apparently, there is a pot of gold at the end of that rainbow. But not for you.
For those of you who like to buy in advance to lock in your ticket price, the no-expiration option rises from $225 for a 10-day ticket to $275.
The premiere annual pass goes from $649 to $699, while the "regular" annual pass increases from $519 to $574. The 11 percent increase on annual passes is much smaller than the 30 percent increase levied on Disneyland annual passholders last month.
However, Disney World will now match Disneyland's policy of no long offering child's prices for annual passes. That means a big increase for kids' APs - from $478 to $574 for the regular AP, and $598 to $699 for the premium. That's a 20 percent increase for the annual pass for a child, age 3-9.
Here's the full list new admission prices at the Walt Disney World Resort.
Readers' Opinions
From Dominick D on June 1, 2012 at 6:23 PM
Both WDW and UO's increases are ridiculous. Thankfully AAA remains relatively low.
From Amy Smith on June 1, 2012 at 9:38 PM
Raise of hands if you think Universal will up theirs $1 to match sometime in late August?
From O T on June 2, 2012 at 12:18 AM
I kind of understand the price rais at Dl with the new cars land, it´s got a eticket and everything. But what is WDW adding? A long overdue expencien of Fantasy land with a medeocer darkride and a dombo ride and some restaurants and shops?
Not worth the money.
From Dominick D on June 2, 2012 at 6:28 AM
*Raises hand*
From Orrin Carstarphen on June 2, 2012 at 11:52 AM
At this point it really seems as if WDW will not let UO have a higher ticket price than them. Maybe some sense of elitism on Disney's part,if UO has a higher gate price maybe they believe customers will assume they have a better product.
From Tony Duda on June 2, 2012 at 12:13 PM
I just checked WDW web site and a 1-day magic your way ticket is $90.53/adult (10 and over)and $84.14/child (3 to 9). This is even higher than the story says. Or maybe that includes tax.
From James Rao on June 2, 2012 at 3:22 PM
I know this article is mainly about Disney's ridiculous price hike, but I am more shocked that Universal has raised THEIR prices to match Disney's. I always considered Universal to be such an excellent bargain. A great add on to my tri-annual Disney vacation. Not any more.
Sad thing is, for $370 I can get five season passes (my whole family) to a great theme park like Silver Dollar City, which is less than the amount I would spend for one day's admissions at Disney/Universal ($450).
Sure, Disney and Universal offer some state of the art attractions, but in truth, the down home, family atmosphere at Silver Dollar City puts the top dogs to shame.
No wonder I go to SDC ten times a year and Disney/Universal one week every three years. Jeez.

From Robert Niles on June 2, 2012 at 7:00 PM
Tony, prices above are before tax, so, yes, it's even worse.
From Tom Rigg on June 2, 2012 at 8:43 PM
I understand the mentality that strikes people when these price hikes come: Americans like deals and price hikes are the antithesis of deals. However, I struggle when people start pointing fingers (not that anyone has on here, just in general) as if suddenly Disney or Universal (or any park for that matter) have suddenly become a charity or some sort of moral entity that is somehow corrupted by the almighty dollar.
There is no such thing as price gouging for entertainment. The fact is its all commodity and if someone doesn't like the price they won't pay it. Price hikes are just as much a part of Disney's landscape as they are anyone else who offers a product. Disney has been pouring a ton of money into the Magic Kingdom over the past few years. Yes there is the FL expansion, but there has also been non stop rehabilitation of main street and Frontierland facades, a Space Mountain and Big Thunder overhaul, a new nighttime show, a fairly unexpected (I'm guessing) redo of the Tiki Room, and a pretty lengthy refurb for Spectromagic (I assume). I honestly think Disney had more room to justify the raise in ticket price than Universal who is more responding to demand rather than an accelerated amount of park development.
From James Rao on June 3, 2012 at 3:55 AM
Even during the recent flurry of theme park expansion and in spite of John Carter (which I thought was a pretty good move), Disney was making $1B profit per quarter. It is not like the company is hemorrhaging cash to grow these experiences. They can afford to go a year or two without a price hike and still make lots and lots (and lots) of money.
And, have Disney and Universal seen the latest job, unemployment, and housing data? Or have they noticed that the stock market is falling faster than the ride vehicles in the Tower of Terror? Will they be known as the companies that fiddled while the country burned?
I think these price hikes are premature. It is still a time of cost cutting and discounts, despite the fact that recent attendance numbers seem to indicate that foolish Americans are once again taking 401k loans and going in debt to finance their dream vacations (will we never learn?).
From Alfonso Giordano on June 3, 2012 at 6:13 AM
If people stopped coming they would lower the prices very quickly, but people still are coming. Disney doesn't look at general unemployment or stock market, they look at their own budget and needs. Disney is responding to the competition as well.
From James Rao on June 3, 2012 at 6:43 AM
Sounds like a fancy way of saying, "they're greedy." Why wait until people stop coming to make adjustments? Shouldn't these companies be more forward thinking? Not everything has to be "charge as much as we possibly can until we see a drop in sales."
From Jill Harrington on June 3, 2012 at 8:05 AM
I was sadly not at all surprised to see these increases pop up on their blog on Friday, after I was just bragging up how they'd not raise prices 'on the fly' like DLR did (I guess two days notice was nice). But like others have mentioned, I'll compare it to a recent experience I had. My family and I are huge NJ Devils fans (they are a hockey team for those non-sports folks - and they are in the final for the Stanley Cup), regularly supporting them by visiting 'The Rock' (their home rink) throughout the season. I got the early pre-sale e-mail to purchase tickets for the Stanley Cup finals - for those 'special past supporters'. To purchase tickets for the seats that we usually sit ($85 per seat during the season) would be $1,100 per seat. $1,100 PER SEAT!!!! I can't even calculate that markup... Needless to say we're watching the games from home...
At least for my $600 at Disney World, I get 10-15+ quality days with my family in great theme parks. For $1,100 X 3, I have gotten to watch my team lose in overtime last night...
From Mark Hollamon on June 3, 2012 at 8:24 AM
Very good feedback on this subject. I am supporting Disney's decision to raise prices and it hits me in the pocketbook just like everybody else.
Yes, they make $ by the boatload and yes, I think some of their prices are way high (my biggest concern is with the increases in food prices at WDW over the past 5 years) but this is a publicly traded company that needs to take care of shareholders too. In the past few years all eyes have been on FJ at IOA and all that time WDW has been investing a bunch in rehabs, new experiences, and a revitalization of DTD.
I am betting WDW is going to do just fine attendance wise this year and for years to come. I know as long as we can afford our passes we will have them. It's the best entertainment in Central Florida if not the entire US.
From Dominick D on June 3, 2012 at 10:58 AM
Jill makes a good point.
From Anthony Murphy on June 3, 2012 at 11:58 AM
Eh, its not surprising. It happens every year!
In other news, Six Flags has not raised their prices......
From Tom Rigg on June 4, 2012 at 2:56 AM
It's not the Disney company's responsibility to play custodian of the American stock market or employment numbers. And the idea that Disney is greedy is the same as implying that they should feel ashamed of earning any money beyond what the public sees as appropriate. If the public doesn't like it, they can stop supporting it. Just because Disney wants to make more money doesn't make them greedy, it makes them a business.
Yes the company makes profits, but those profits are also paid out to shareholder. So it's not like they have some big vault like Uncle McScrooge and go swimming in their money. They still have a great deal of funding required to create their current developments in the parks, while still upholding shareholder expectations.
From James Rao on June 4, 2012 at 3:22 AM
With $1B in profit already rolling in per quarter, further increases are totally unnecessary if your goals are simply to keep shareholders happy and grow your business and infrastructure.
But I do agree, the rich get richer, which is fine - when you are "the rich".
Sadly, my Orlando trips have gone from every two years to three years, and now... we're looking at once every four or five years. The cost of an Orlando trip is simply prohibitive for the average working Joe who doesn't want to mortgage his future for a theme park visit. And that expense is something good old Walt, who said, "Disneyland is a work of love. We didn't go into Disneyland just with the idea of making money" never intended.
There really is no defense for these price points. The current costs for a Disney/Universal vacation are a rip off, no matter what picture you are trying to paint.
From Rob Pastor on June 4, 2012 at 6:13 AM
In a free economic market the prime factor is supply vs. demand. Market prices will generally adjust in the long term. This pricing structure will hold as long as the demand is there, which is evident by the large crowds Disney & Universal have recently been experiencing. At this point, the economy is a lot healthier than the political doomsayers try to portray it.
From Don Neal on June 4, 2012 at 6:49 AM
I agree that the economy is not as bad as the news makes it out to be however, Disney and parks like it are making money on people who have been able to sustain their income and jobs over the last 5-10 years and were probably in a good place to begin with. Disney making money should not be an indicator of a recovering economy. I thankfully can afford a visit this year but I know 100 other families that can't. Disney is a once in a lifetime visit for most families. For those that can afford multiple trips, we are very blessed and fortunate. However, if Disney isn't careful they are going to push people out long term like many sports venues and concert venues have.
However, the laws of supply and demand should fix it as others have pointed out. I started a rough budget for June 2013 and the trip is already 15% higher than the one we took in 2011 with the kids due to rising fuel costs and increasing ticket and food costs. That's a substantial increase in just two years. It has me seriously considering if we should not consider another trip instead of Disney again. I could do a lot with that big of a budget.
From James Rao on June 4, 2012 at 7:26 AM
Great post, Don, as I encountered the same dilemma when planning my vacation this year, too. We originally wanted to hit Disneyland in late September, but after calculating the cost (which included a day at Universal Hollywood as well), we decided our money was better spent on three other trips: Dollywood (complete), Busch Gardens Williamsburg (upcoming), and, of course, season passes to Silver Dollar City (ongoing, 4 - 5 two-day trips).
Manged to setup several vacations for less than the cost of one week in southern California. #travesty
From Anon Mouse on June 4, 2012 at 8:02 AM
Hey, I just came back from a 5 day vacation to Las Vegas. I paid $400 in tickets for 3 shows for 3 people. The biggest cost is the Cirque show that costs $250 for 3, which was a discounted price (cheaper by $20 at the ticket discounter). The remainder are for cheaper shows. The way I see it, Disneyland will always be a high cost diversion. I will likely visit during the Spring with their locals promotion. Disney charges what the public perceives to be its premium experience. I can't disagree. However, I do think it restricts the frequency of how often I visit. Maybe Disney doesn't want me to visit a lot. They really prefer lots of people to pay high priced vacations. Let's increase the daily average expense for people and see if it works.
From David Brown on June 4, 2012 at 8:49 AM
Here in north Wales there's a place called Portmeirion. It used to have an interesting pricing mechanism in that the more people who entered the site, the higher the price went. They used price as a means of controlling the crowds. If you turned up early morning it could be a steal to get in, but turn up on a holiday Saturday in the afternoon and, whilst you could still get in, you would pay through the nose for the privilege. It was a case of 'how much do I want to see this place...?'
It seems to me that Disney and Universal are not only making money whilst the sun shines but also creating some form of crowd control mechanism here through pricing. If they made it cheap they'd be totally swamped by visitors. Every day would be like Christmas with massive crowds, to the overall detriment of the experience for many people. Even after these price hikes the parks will be teeming with visitors, but if it deters a few from making more regular visits maybe that's part of the agenda? If people stop going I'd bet any money that prices would start to fall, but whilst demand keeps on growing.....
From Rob Pastor on June 4, 2012 at 9:34 AM
David: Good points. It looks like Disney is courting the big tourist dollars and trying to limit the number of local passholders that don't spend nearly as much. Your point of customer experience is important. When the parks get too crowded and the lines too long, customer satisfaction sinks. Disney wants the big spending tourists to be comfortable with crowd size. If the parks are overly crowded with local passholders, the Disney experience will be diminished. While demand is strong the expensive pricing policy will continue. If the economy enters another recession in the future and tourist demand goes down, you'll probably see Disney changing course and having special prices and promotions to convince the locals to buy season passes again. But right now, Disney is probably hoping that a large number of season pass holders do not renew. New Fantasyland & Carsland will bring the crowds for 2012, 2013 & 2014.
From 220.127.116.11 on June 5, 2012 at 9:07 PM
U2 360 tour opening night in Chicago..... $250 per ticket (not jacked up pricing on Stub Hub) directly from the Ticket Master / U2 website.
Granted, it was one of the best concerts I had ever seen and the visuals were astounding....
I think if either Universal or Disney hits the $100 mark for a single park ticket, it will be the demise of theme parks in Orlando. A couple dollars a year is expected, but some of the pricing increases are....wow.
From Tracy Bates on June 6, 2012 at 10:25 AM
I wish they kept the pricing like Busch Gardens / Seaworld does. There, the price of your annual pass is what it was when you joined, so if you renew it every year, it stays at the price you started at. I'm paying 2003 prices on those and I never will cancel them and one of those parks is always on my list when I go to Florida.

Does anyone know how long this needs to cook? Hee hee... I only make turkeys once a year, never remember...
Rule of thumb...20 minutes per pound!!Quote by its_me_susan
Depends on how you are cooking it. The way I do it on the grill, 10-15 minutes per pound. I assume Ginger's answer is based on baking??
Straight from FoodNetwork.com:
For a 13-pound, frozen and defrosted, turkey, average cooking time is: 3 hours, 15 minutes at 350 degrees. This is an un-stuffed turkey.
A note on stuffing: Be careful when cooking your turkey with stuffing inside. To kill harmful bacteria, the stuffing must reach 180 degrees F. If your bird is done but the stuffing hasn't reached the proper temperature, transfer the stuffing to a dish and cook separately. Better yet, don't stuff--make dressing instead.
You can use a calculator at foodnetwork.com & it even tells you when to put the turkey in the oven!
In our roasting pan of course. *wink*Quote by stephanieboyd
Thanks ladies!
I use the roasting pan on the grill, since it's on low!! I wouldn't pass up using that for anything in the world!! That roasting pan and the meat lifters made my life so much easier!!!
Anyone ever cook a turkey in the rectangular stone baker?
I have not, but I'm SURE it will come out fine...Quote by its_me_susan
I think there was a thread about that very method last week sometime. I don't remember the name of it though.
I did my boneless turkey breasts in the deep covered baker in the microwave yesterday (I'm apparently the one who will be making and bringing the turkey every year for Thanksgiving at MIL's house and wasn't sure if her microwave would be big enough for the DCB). Took each one nearly an hour in my super-powered microwave, but they came out perfectly!
I've got 1 more turkey breast in the fridge to cook up for my "famous turkey salad" (my kids' words) tomorrow.
Mine was 12 lbs and I cooked it almost 4 hours. Of course, I am sure by now you have already cooked yours, ha!
Nope - I do the day-after feastQuote by jrstephens
Much more casual
AWESOME!!!! Shoot, wish my 13 pounder was smaller now! LOLQuote by jentapp
I always cook my turkey during the night. I put my turkey on at about 8:00 p.m and cook on 275 all night long. I always butter the ouside of my turkey and make sure I cover it with foil.
Sorry I didn't see this yesterday!
I do what my Mom did: Butter it, Cover it in foil and cook it at 450 and uncover the last half hour. For an 11 pound turkey, it was done in 2.5 hours and FABULOUS!
That comes from an old cookbook that they don't even feature that cooking method in the current edition.
I wouldn't be able to sleep.... happens with my crockpot.Quote by mary k
That sounds good too!Quote by AJPratt
I covered in olive oil and our rosemary seasoning. Stuffed with (what I had in the house) an onion, orange and head of garlic... poured in some chicken broth at bottom of the pan (got this from my famous garlic chicken recipe) and put in just now 325 to cook 3 hours or until digital themometer alerts me... Wish me luck!
Can I cook stuffing in the same oven (not really alot of room) - or can I make it in the nuker or toaster oven????
I cooked a 22.5 lb turkey for Thanksgiving!! I had to feed 6 adults and five children, plus I wanted leftovers for everyone!!
It was a butterball, and it took 5 hours and 30 minutes on 325 degrees and it was stuffed!! It would have been one hour less without stuffing, but who doesn't like stuffing!!
I woke up at 5:30 am to turn on the oven and my husband stuck the giant turkey in.
It was yummy and ready by 11:20 am. We ate by 12:15. I made a pecan pie, a pumpkin pie and a strawberry cheesecake!! My mother in law made her yummy peach and sour cream pies!
My sister in law tried but hers were raw!! LOL She wasn't too happy about that but considering she is really mean and nasty to us, she deserved it!
Here's a question for everyone.... you make your turkey, does the bottom of the pan always get all burnt up? I added orange juice to the pan after 2 hours. My turkey was delicious! My digital themometer doesn't seem to work suddenly (it went off after only about an hour ~ um, I doubt it was at 165 degrees, what is with that?)....
Do you make the gravy with that burnt up stuff (I always hear you add chicken broth and whisk it)???
3 years ago my BIL who is the master Chef for the marriot company made, and I am not kidding here, a 22.5 lb turkey, and it was BONELESS! He De-boned it and cookied it whole...it was amazing, so moist. Not stuffed, just baked in the oven with olive oil, garlic, onion, rosemary, sage, pepper, salt and cayanne. MMMMMMMMM....I wish I would have watched him do it...I guess it is a trade secret.

This is my very first GLOSSYBOX June 2013!
And I am already in love. It smells SOOO amazing. Just opening the box I'm hit with a wave of amazing scents. The items it the box are as follows;
1. C.Booth Honey Almond Nourishing Dry Oil Mist fullsize - $8
This smells amazing. And it makes my skin soft and shiny. I love it so much I've already bought a full size for a friend. The sample size is 2oz, the fullsize is 4oz, so it is a nice sample size.
2. Oscar de la Renta Essential Luzuries fullsize - $150
This was 6 little samples of Oscar de la Renta's fragrance collection. I'm not one for perfume, but these are light and beautiful. I really like them, but not for $150 each. But I will enjoy using the samples.
3. Philip B. Nourishing Conditioning Cream
This was a random sample depending on your tastes. Mine was a conditioning cream for frizzy hair, which I have. I haven't tried it yet, but the sample size is large and I'm looking forward to it.
4. SpaRitual nail polish fullsize - $12
I love this brand. The color I got is a really dark teal. I'm not particularly excited for the color, but I am looking forward to trying the polish.
5. tarte complexion enhancing lipstick - fullsize listed as $14.50, but it's actually $29
This is my favorite product. And with this product alone it makes the price of the box. And it's a fullsize sample! I love the color. It is a salmony pink and looks lovely with my complexion.
So overall, I am very pleased with GLOSSYBOX, and will continue subscribing. I've found at least two products that I will be using regularly.

Meh one of my old signatures already had something similar to that.
A big nail maybe?
Haha no, I didn't say it was less gory, I said it was not gory enough. How abouuuuttt a guy with a nail hammered through his face? You know, similar to your sig.
The previous one just had a dude smiling and this one has a dude who's head is removed from the body. How is that less gory?
No no, for some reason it's not that gory for me. =S
My new signature is more gruesome than the previous one.
Looking at your new signature I'm wondering where your gruesome-ness disappeared.
Yes ma'am!
Good luck with that. I never use my real name on the internet for anything. Which is because I keep internet life and real life as separate as I can.
I'll guess your name. =]

The cover says it all:
In FLASHPOINT: WONDER WOMAN AND THE FURIES, find out the origins of the Atlantean vs. Amazon war that's ripping through the pages of the FLASHPOINT series. Learn about the sacrifice that destroyed the original Themyscira and led the Amazons to take over the United Kingdom as their own. See Wonder Woman battle Mera, the Atlantean queen, sparking Aquaman's unquenchable thirst for revenge.
Three pages after the cut.
Given the timing of the end of Flashpoint and the start of the DCnU, it's not a surprise that the two might be tied together. And today in USA Today, DC stated that Flashpoint is the gateway to the DCnU.
"They're starting to figure out where these 52 are coming from, and it's staring them right in the face with Flashpoint," explains Eddie Berganza, editor on Flashpoint. "A lot of the concepts, a lot of the ideas, they're cropping up within the pages. You have a book called Frankenstein in the Flashpoint world, and guess what, we're doing Frankenstein, Agent of SHADE. You'll see a couple of other background players start showing up that become more important as we go into September."
"Stuff that's appearing here pretty much sets you up for the 52," Berganza says. "You can't let Flashpoint go as something that does not count. It's the gateway into what's coming in September."
In the notes I saw from the DCnU retailer's meetings I didn't see them pushing the two - Flashpoint and the DCnU - as being so connected. In fact in Chicago it was called a "soft" starting point for the event. Perhaps there is a growing concern that people are skipping Flashpoint? The June numbers will be out soon and I suspect that won't be any better than May's which were not good. It can't help that the quality of the minis has been inconsistent.
There's a preview of Flashpoint #3 here and here's a panel showing the heroic team-up at the center of this issue.
Bleeding Cool is posting what it says it has learned about Flashpoint. Earlier today they reported that in September, DC will reset every book to #1
And with those issue one renumberings, will come a new rejigged status quo. And yes, characters will be changed. Some may no longer exist. There will be new books, new creators, new teams, new characters and new… new. With no current plan for the new status quo to be undone or reversed
So not far off from what I guessed.
One of those number ones will reportedly be a rebooted Justice League:
It will feature Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and several other characters following the current Flashpoint crossover. It's the return of the World's Greatest Superheroes to the book for the first time in years.
So again what I guessed. I believe this League will also be the basis of their movie franchise moving forward. So I expect the JL to have the Flash, as there is a Flash movie already in the early stages. This will be align DC Comics for Warner Bros. run at the Marvel Avengers film strategy. This was discussed by Warner Bros. Ben Fritz in March.
Again none of this is confirmed. BC is putting out news all day. I'll be back with the next news. I wonder what they'll have to say about Superman …?
This does look good. Azzarello's Joker makes my skin crawl so I expect this to be intense. I do like that despite the claim "everything changes" in Flashpoint Jim Gordon looks exactly the same as he always does.
The speculation about the post-Flashpoint world of DC Comics may start to have some facts on June 11. The LA Times reports this morning that Geoff Johns and Jim Lee will be onstage Hero Complex Film Festival on June 11 with "bomb shells" about "the future of Superman and the DC Universe."
Oh, boy.
The timing is perfect. Just a few days before the September solicits which are the books following Flashpoint as well as all those August solicits that had that sense of finality.
Will this be the renumbering and relaunches that Bleeding Cool has posted about?
I think it will.
Expect more books to be canceled. The first round prior to Flashpoint? Just the start. At Boston Comic Con I was told by someone very close to DC that one book relevant to the interests of this blog is on the chopping block. Maybe two. And the second would be a stunner. I won't name them because I have no confirmation other than my source.
So since everyone else is speculating, what do I think will happen? Alignment with the core holdings. What are those? Take a look at DC Retroactive.
Some other guesses, which are pure speculation:
Batman. Streamlined books. Streamlined universe. Fewer Batbooks. Focus on one true Batman. I already called that Dick will return to being Nightwing.
Wonder Woman. They've already dropped hints. Expect pre-crisis elements to be integrated. Steve Trevor will be back. Another new head writer.
JLA. Back to basics with the big guns.
And Superman? Note that how they called it out separately. The "future of Superman". We know a new head writer is coming on board as Roberson is gone after #714. Will they align the book to the upcoming movie? My guess? Yes. And I am going to guess at least one of the bombshells will have to do with the status of the Lane-Kent marriage.
The DCU Source just posted this guide to the Flashpoint world. Take a look. I'll be back with some thoughts.

There will be second issue in August as well.
Really all I care about is Wonder Woman and Lois Lane at this point. And speaking of Wonder Woman and that TV show… waiting for second source. Be back later ….
On Saturday, I posted a picture of the Flash family that appeared in the Free Comic Book Day Green Lantern within a preview of Flashpoint. I was concerned that the one of the few women of color in the Flash family, XS also known as Barry Allen's granddaughter Jenni Ognats, had been white washed.
Today, the preview is shown online at USA TODAY and shows a big change.
The original print version with my note:
The image that appeared today on USA TODAY
It's interesting to note that the not only did the character's hair and skin color change but her costume changed and now reflects the costume the character is identified with (see below). The face of the character, however, remains unchanged.
How did a comic book get printed with such a glaring mistake? How did a character that is clearly a women of color get approved as a white, blonde character? I hope DC can clear this up and ensure this does not happen again.
Update: I have sent an email to DC's PR lead asking for comment.
Interesting that Wonder Woman is in the old costume.
(Source: htmlimg3.scribdassets.com)
CBR has an interview with Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning about their upcoming stints on the Flashpoint Wonder Woman and Lois Lane minis and they are giving up some interesting points including this one:
Lanning: Not to create spoilers, but obviously the whole set-up with Superman is totally different in the "Flashpoint" universe. Lois hasn't met and fallen in love and married Superman, so her whole career and life-path is totally different. But she's still that determined hardedge reporter. She just hasn't been given the opportunity she had when she met Superman.
And they have some things to say about Wonder Woman as well:
Dan, you've said "Wonder Woman and the Furies" show Diana "as a full on Amazonian warrior, true to her heritage." What exactly does that mean?
Abnett: It means taking her back to her warrior-code roots of the Amazon people, and also to the sort of classical mythological origins. The Amazons were the most feared warriors in ancient times and were absolutely relentless and ruthless. In many respects they've become a lot more serene, wise nation in the DCU, Wonder Woman typifying that. You have flashes of that warrior queen but she's also even-tempered and just and virtuous. Whereas "Flashpoint" is a world where the Amazons have always been warriors to defend themselves. They haven't evolved that maturity we see in the DCU. They are extremely dangerous and very aggressive and they can beat almost anything in a fight. It reminds us how scary the Amazons should be. And Diana is the most powerful and most able of them, which makes her a formidable character.
Again with the "scary amazons". But then there is this:
Abnett: She's defiantly not a villain. She's a formidable opponent and quite a lot of people are in opposition to her, so she's squaring off against good guys and bad guys alike because of the nature of her situation. She's not out for evil ends, but she is definitely very aggressive and capable of determining her life and the lives of the Amazons—by force of arms if necessary. In a very technical sense, if you are the wrong side of that she may appear to be an enemy. She certainly is an indomitable enemy. The reader will sympathize with her because she's not intrinsically evil and she's not doing anything that would make you unsympathetic to her, but she's going about things in a very aggressive way.
That sounds better. Good piece by Josie Campbell, go give it a read.

After a full week where the United States has capitulated to a "terrorist" threat, the president has decided to reopen 18 embassies. And then he goes on vacation.
Indulge me by considering a few questions now that the "threat" is averted?

I think you touched on the winner towards the end of your post. Lego World of Warcraft. WoW2 should be fully done in Lego. It worked great for star wars. That then opens up the obvious cross marketing of actual physical WoW Lego (can you hear the $$$$$ falling from the sky?)

Today I posted the first page of the yaoi story Longing For More.
Take a look here: http://www.listme.com.br/index.php?r=mainPage/index&postId=4239
Let's talk about the contest.
We received six amazing stories… so amazing that I even dreamed about them. They all are so professional… Hot, sexy… sometimes sad and beautiful. A lot of them broke my heart… others made me feel hot. You damn amazing writers!!!
So the result is…
It would break my heart to draw just one or two of them and let other amazing stories without the comic art. So I decided I'll draw all of them, in this order:
Really… these stories are amazing.
Thank you all so much for sending your art to me. I'll do my best with the comic. I'll post the comics here and at listme… so, don't miss. :D
Theme: Psychological
About: Abandoned boy is the pet of a worker man…
My review: I like the story, I'm not really sure about the art. I don't like their eyes very much, but the story is really amazing.
Read: http://www.listme.com.br/index.php?r=mainPage/index&postId=4180
I just can't decide because I love all of them. I've read them twice already and i can't decide. I'll ask my mother for help. She loves gay romance stories… she will help me for sure. So I'll pick the story to draw by tomorrow. By the way… I'll probably choose more than one. I can't draw just one when we have so many amazing stories here. :D
If you want more yaoi writing contest, let me now. You can like or reblog this post. If we have a lot of notes, I'll hold another Yaoi Writing Contest.
Theme: Fantasy
About: Three stories. The first is about two castle guards, who decide to have sex for curiosity. The second is a smut version of Sleepy Hollows. The third is about a tentacles plant attack.
My Review: The art is new to me. It's more like comic. I wish the stories were longer, but I enjoyed them a lot.
Read: http://www.listme.com.br/index.php?r=mainPage/index&postId=4153
Theme: Doujinshi
About: Ciel dreams about having sex with two Sebastian.
Contain: Smut sex, shota, Black Butler dj, pet…
My Review: I love Black Butler. I feel a little uncomfortable with shota…. I mean, I feel very uncomfortable. But this art is amazing.
Read: http://www.listme.com.br/index.php?r=mainPage/index&postId=4152
Theme: Bara (mature)
About: Abused boy falls for his sensei…
Contain: rape, love triangle, sad story, smut sex…
My review: This is my first bara (a kind of yaoi made for guys), so I'm still new at this. I love this story. Very sad, but beautiful. The bara manga has much more smut sex and realistic art. It's very different from yaoi… but I like it the same way.
Read: http://www.listme.com.br/index.php?r=mainPage/index&postId=4151
Theme: Fantasy
About: Guy has a normal life, until a stranger appears and makes his heart go "badump"…
Contain: love, jealousy, possessive personality, plot twist…
My review: I don't know why I've never came across this yaoi before, because I've been reading yaoi for years… This one is amazing, lovely, I can't wait for the next episodes…
Read: http://www.listme.com.br/index.php?r=mainPage/index&postId=4149
Theme: Drama
About: Tells the story of kotodamas master and their kamis, servants. Kotodamas have amazing power, but everytime they use the power, they are hurt in return. Kamis are paper doll that looks like real people. When their master is hurt, they take all the pain for them. The problem is… the more a kami receives pain, the faster his core is destroyed (and the faster he dies). When a kotodama dies, someday, he will reborn as a kami.
Contain: love, many couples, rape, jealousy, love triangle…
My review: This story is amazing. I LOVE all stories, but my favorite is Himi and Genma story. They are so OMG. I also love Asari and Shoui story too (from when they met). This yaoi is just too cute to be true… but there's a problem, a lot of chapter are missing (the best chapters, actually)… I put some of them in the link bellow (they are super hard to find)…

A Photography Blog for Poly People

- Example 15 from "Strange Things Your Friends Say to You When You're Polyamorous"
Source: alwaysperhaps
On January 13th of 2012, the triad Anita Barbosa, Naldo Costa and Suh Lee (picture), brazilians, gave a step forward to get their poly relationship legally recognized.
"For the first time in history we got a document with a state seal/stamp (which means it's suitable for legal purposes) declaring as legal a polyamorous relationship.
It means that the State accept them as a poly family and acknowledges them rights according to the possibilities of our legal system.
It's like a stable union or homoafective union. It's a situation that comes along with the simple existence in the world of facts. When they go to the court house they just declare that they exist in a way or another and that they would like to receive legal treatment "on this way or that way."
I can't say it was recognized because only the judiciary has the power to recognize the juridical existence of something. The notary public doesn't. But it means that the State accepts them to be declared as a triad.
It makes difference because the certificate is a public document, so when claiming some rights it will be a pro for the triad."
Says Junior Batista, a lawyer who fights for the legal recognition of Polyamorous relationships in Brazil.
I must say I'm proud!
Congratulations Brazil!
Thanks for another great submission!
Check this blog out! XD
Finding one or the other to date and have a mutual relationship with sure is tough. It's not like women/couples are lining up for some new experiences. Regardless, I still have high hopes in finding some/someones who want to share in our happiness. If it's a girlfriend, she will be loved twice as much because she will have two people. A nice triangle of love and joy. If a couple could be together, thats 4 times the love. Scared during a movie? Have your gf/bf hold you OR have both your bfs and gf cuddle. Or any combination there of. If everyone in the relationship was bisexual…. holy freakin GAWD thats a lot of love to share between each other. Of course thats not the way it HAS to be. One person in the relationship can be bisexual, or two, or three, or none. The point of being a couple together is the same as any other type of relationship; love, be there for one another, compromise when necessary, and enjoy one another physically/emotionally. That is what my gf and I are looking for and someday we will have it! It's not a matter of if, it's simply a matter of when!

A new report from the Congressional Research Service assesses the economic state of post-revolution Egypt and finds it fairly grim.
"After more than two years of social unrest and economic stagnation following the 2011 popular uprising, the government of Egypt is facing serious economic pressures that, if not remedied, could lead to economic collapse and possibly new levels of violence," the report says.
"Egyptian authorities and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) have been in negotiations for more than two years over an IMF loan to Egypt in exchange for policy reforms that, if successful, could stave off economic collapse and create more 'inclusive' growth…. [but] No agreement has been finalized or implemented to date. Egyptian authorities have been reluctant to commit to economic reforms that may be politically unpopular and increase the country's debt."

Class of 2014
A Note from the Class of 2014 P-4 Campaign Chairs
(written in October 2013)
We are excited to carry on the tradition of giving back to the School of Pharmacy as we near graduation. Our class gift this year is one that will carry on our legacy and showcase the highlights and accomplishments of our program to every visitor. Our donation will be an LCD screen to be permanently displayed in the School of Pharmacy third-floor hallway. This screen will feature the School's pride points (on media including video, Powerpoint presentations and other compelling visuals that show School news and highlights). It will also help to define the space as an entry point to our School, serving as an information hub and center for visitors and members of our community. This will enhance the School of Pharmacy's recruitment and marketing efforts, helping educate every passerby about how great our School and its people are. It would have vinyl lettering near the screen to publicly acknowledge the display as a gift from the Class of 2014.
As students, we have benefitted from the efforts of professors, faculty, advisers and alumni in so many ways, including scholarship funds, event support and overall enhancement of our educational opportunities. This is our chance to give back, and to leave a legacy — a legacy of pride about the impact this School has on the world. Our donation goal is for 100% participation to achieve an amount of $2014.
Thank you in advance for your support of this very important fund, Class of 2014! Let's get that 100% participation!

Series Preview: Cubs vs Astros, We need to sweep
The Cubs' 2010 season is currently at a crossroads. They are 6.5 games back of two teams and on the precipise of falling out of the race. Without further ado. Here is a preview of a series that the Cubs should win handily. Of course ,we all know how that has gone this year:
Friday June 4: Carlos Zambrano vs Felipe Paulino
This game marks the triumfant return of Carlos Zambrano. Instead of getting the hapless Pirates (who someone turn into the 1927 Yankees when they play the Cubs), he gets the hapless Astros. In case you didn't know, the Astros are last in almost every relavent offensive category. They have the lowest OBP, the lowest OPS, the lowest SLG, the lowest wOBA and the fewest runs scored in all of baseball. Of course, the Pirates aren't much better and we know how that faired. Still you have to like Zambrano's chances. Z has pitched much better than his putrid ERA and quite frankly I expect him to take the move to the bullpen personally and have one of the best months of his life.
As for Paulino. I'd say he doesn't really need his outfield. He K's a decent amount, walks a bunch also and gets a fair number of grounders. He is coming off of 3 straight quality starts and his last time out, he went 8 scoreless against Dusty's Juggernaut, the Reds. He is beatable, as long as the Cubs wait him out.
Saturday June 5: Carlos Silva vs Roy Oswalt
Is this the meltdown we have all been expecting from Silva? I sort of doubt it but as bad as the Astros are, Oswalt is one tough customer. I know it may be hard for some people to believe but Oswalt is suddenly very underrated. His K rate is higher this year than at any point since his rookie season. His actual ERA is great and it's backed up strongly by the peripherals. Even on a terrible baseball team, Oswalt could be a Cy Young candidate this year. He is supposedly on the trading block and givin his salary, etc, it seems doubtful that he will be dealt but he is one of the better pitchers in baseball and is not to be underestimated.
Sunday June 6: Ryan Dempster vs Bret Myers
If the Brewers offense had the Astros pitching, it would be a pretty fantastic team. Dempster is probably a slightly better pitcher so I expect to win this game. Is it too much to hope that the Cubs bullpen doesn't give any games away here?
I am probably the only writer at this site who is not willing to give up on this team all the way until at least the end of June but I do acknowledge that a sweep in this series is almost necessary. This team needs to start winning soon and not stop if they have any chance this season.

A good point made on game 3,
A good point made on game 3, about the bullpen giving away games. Has aybody with a stronger stomach than me actually figured out how many games the pen has blown? Our starters all look pretty good - excepting the handful of blow-ups that every pitcher gets now and then - and have kept us in the majority of games...except we can't score or, when we do, the 'pen can (for the other team).
So, anybody know the actual numbers? I tried to do this once, got depressed, and decided to drink instead.
I think I'd rather just keep

How To Build a Vertical Bike Rack Using Spare Parts
Home Hacks
Included in Lifehacker's Top Ten IKEA mods, we wanted to share this ingenious storage solution for multiple bikes in a small space.
Taken from IkeaHacker, Michael constructed this bike rack using just a few simple pieces of hardware from Ikea: a Stolmen post, a couple of brackets, and four hooks.
Building the rack works as follows:
1. Cut two pieces of the square pipe; choose the length depending on the design of your bike frame.
2. Drill 3 holes into the pieces of square pipes.
3. Screw a hook on each end of the pipe; screw the pipe to the bracket.
4. Now you can mount the stolmen post and adjust the two brackets on it.
5. Finally glue some of the rubber foam to the hooks to not scratch the bike frame.
Total cost? Just over $40; and according to Michael, "this should just take you like ½ an hour."

I totally made this after seeing the original from 2008 i only had a single bike, but i added hooks for helmets and tools with the addition of a lengthened bar for the bottom to hold my snowboard. the sky is the limit as the modularity of this design allows for amazing options. build it and you will not be disappointed!!!

Reactive hypoglycemia and pregnancy? HELP!
I'm looking for anyone that has had severe reactive hypoglycemia prior to pregnancy. I've had reactive hypoglycemia for almost 9 years now. I can't eat any simple sugars, any fruit, pretty much only green vegetables, and I have to HIGH protein every two hours. I want to have a baby so bad but I'm really scared about how this will effect my blood sugar. I'd like to hear anyones personal stories or any tips, possibly what I should expect with this condition. Also, if I would have to eat every two hours, how would labor work since they don't allow you to eat? I'm sure they would cut me..:[ Thanks.

I also have reactive hypoglacemia. I am currently 27 weeks pregnant. I actually asked my doctor to be treated and be monitor as a diabetic patient and joined the Pregnancy Program Sweet Success. i regularly monitor my sugar levels after i eat and have follow the strick diabetic diet which also includes walks 20-30 min after each meal (I dont' take any medication). Being in this program has help me learn a about things i used to do wrong. i have actually learned to control my sugar levels and learned all the habits i used to follow that were making my condition worst. Small meals, low carbs and excercise are the key!!posted 04/23/2012 by kmenjiva
I also have reactive hypoglycemia and I'm 6 months pregnant. I'll probably get some flack for what I'm about to say, but I'm going to say it anyway. Consider talking to a midwife about birth. A midwife helps you follow your body's natural path to deliver and that does NOT include starving yourself. Labor and delivery is just like running a marathon and you wouldn't do that without sustenance! There is absolutely no need to plan for a c-section just because of the hypoglycemia. The c-section rates in this country have skyrocketed because Dr's interfere instead of letting your body do what it needs to do. I actually had this very discussion today with my endocrinologist. Most Dr's will tell you that you shouldn't consider delivering with anyone except a Dr and God forbid you consider delivering at home or in a birth center. It wasn't until the last 100 years that we started having babies in the hospital. Midwives actually have a much lower rate of maternal/fetal death or complications.posted 01/19/2010 by becca_1975
I don't have severe hypoglycemia like you do but it's pretty bad. I have to eat every 4 hours or else it's bad news. I am 34 weeks pregnant and I asked my doctor today how she is going to regulate my blood sugar while in labor and she said "With popsicles" and I just looked at her like she was stupid because I don't know if this is with you but I have to eat like actual snacks to keep my blood sugar up. I was hoping she'd answer with them putting glucose into my system or something more effective ... so now I'm worried how that's going to work out because it sounds like to me that they're going to have to perform a c section whenever they notice my blood sugar is at an all time low. I have a feeling no one is going to listen to me about my blood sugar in labor also, it's stressing me out.posted 07/30/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
Will being pregnant make reactive hypoglycemia worse? If the last 4 weeks (I'm 7 weeks today) are any indication, oh yes it will. Between not wanting to eat anything and needing to eat constantly, I'm miserable. The hardest part is waking up at 2 and 4 am literally shaking from low blood sugar. Is anyone else having this problem? Any hints? I've tried late snacks (unsweetened greek yogurt, PB...) but nothing seems to help yet.posted 03/23/2012 by mastorm
Hi, I have reactive hypoglycemia too. What do you do when you have this and you are in labor and the hospital's policy is only to allow you to have ice chips? Is there a way to work something out with your doctor and the hospital prior to going in so that you can have some light snacks, like crackers and bananas, as long as you have an uncomplicated birth? I know a lot of women say they have no interest in eating during labor, but I am concerned about having a weak spell if I have a long labor. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.posted 03/20/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
becca_1975.... Midwives are not always the answer. Some people do do have the option due to other medical issues. I think everyone understands your option. It's a personal decision. I have reactive hypoglycemia and was just candid w/ my doctor. We worked it out.posted 09/19/2011 by Kat0127
I also have the same problem (though not as severe) and I think not eating during labor made my recovery more difficult but not too terrible (it was the post labor preclampsia that really made it difficult). I hope I can at least have broth during my next labor- even a little bit would have helped. In regards to hospital vs midwife birth, here's an interesting article from Time magazine: http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1898316,00.htmlposted 07/15/2011 by ms1607
This is not so much an answer, but possibly questions... I am Hypoglycemic and just found out I about 6 weeks along. My sugar has been at it's worst, and I tend to do really well at maintaining. Eating snacks in between meals ect... My concern is, my sugar does not seem to want to go up, in fact it seems to be going down. I hadn't heard of reactive Hypoglycemia~ I have an appt. with my doctor in a few weeks, but I am curious and if any one knows the answer I would love to know... Could the pregnancy be making me Reactive? (does this even make sense?) I went threw a horrible loss a few years ago, and I am not sure I could handle it again, nor forgive myself if there is something I could be doing to help this pregnancy. Thanksposted 02/13/2011 by Alinolie
It's sad to say, but once the baby's pancreas developed I felt normal. My son has a mild case of hypoglycemia that we control through sugar restriction and protein and complex carbs. My other son has no pancreatic issues and lucked out with his fathers metabolism. I have been hypoglycemic for at least 20 years and have managed it well with diet restrictions. I doubt I have as severe a case as you since I can go 4 hrs without eating. But it is getting worse as I get older.posted 06/23/2010 by BrooklyneChaos
I currently have ths condition. i had type 2 got the gastric bypass and it went awasy. i got pregnant and lost the baby christmas 2009. then I got pregnant in january 2010. This pregnancy is when the hypoglycemia started. when i stand, sit , walk, talk, or pretty much do anything my blood sugar drops rapidly. I literally have to eat every 2 hours or i fall out. I check my blood sugar 6-7 times a day and ironically 2 hours after i eat my blood sugar actually gets lower then before i ate. my husband says that the baby is taking all the nutrients because of my gastric bypass thats kinda scarce in my body so the 1st time i eat is for the baby and the second time i eat is for me. But even with the laying down and eating right i still have the dizzy spells. i guess the best thing to do is make a birthing plan with your doctor, talk about the risk to you and the baby and make your decision. if the risk are too high for you and the baby you should concider adoption. much luck!posted 04/23/2010 by puertoricanjnbg

WOW I am really upset with the new series it is incedibly abissmal
I loe Felicia and have followed her since Buffy butm problem is with the guild content wise it is really hard to achieve because you either have to make very obvious references or stereotype and generalise, the home grown aspect has faded now and he acting i kinda bad in fact I found it a bit painful to watch and almost skipped its mainly the guy who plays Vorc I find his comedy incredibly dry, goodat prop but not improv
The second is Will Wheton who in general is a bad actor I'm 21 and I love Next Generation but I was so glad that they cut him and so was the majority. I think he is just too villain of the week and in the guild that element seems Bleh
Third is Kim Evey who frankly does not fit the show anymore I loved her in 1 and 2 but now she is too cliche
I always knew the guild would have a short cycle but this is painful as a day one fan because it is almost like a trainwreck just waiting to fall off the tracks
A dissapointted fan
Wow, I am really upset with the grammar, spelling and punctuation of the previous post. It was incredibly abysmal.
Felicia writes the show herself, and it's a lot of work, so cut her some slack.
Wil Wheaton is actually quite a good actor. The problem with his role on Star Trek was the character, not him. (I've met him, and he's a big technogeek, and does a lot of good work for the EFF, as well.)
