If you've got a full time job and a kid who's not old enough to be left at home to their own devices all day, summer can be a challenge.

First, "Dry Clean Only" means wear it until it stinks, then hand it down to your cousin...we're not "Dry Clean" people. Second, complaining about the laundry is a great way to inherit the chore of doing your own laundry.

If you want to lock down some seats, you'd better get moving (at least for the I-Max at Shiloh 14).

I recently learned that it's actually not a great sign if you fall asleep that fast. It might indicate that you're generally over tired or maybe that the sleep you get isn't that great.

These hideous tubors aren't very appetizing in this form, but that's nothing a couple of sticks of butter, various sugars, flour, eggs, pecans, cinnamon, cream cheese and pretzels can't fix.

Usually, once is enough for me. I really enjoyed Breaking Bad, but I'm not sure I'll ever give it another run. So far, the only show that's been worth a second group of binge watching sessions is Justified.

At Hog Wild, they still make these pies from scratch and they're worth every penny. The only negative is that they tend to run out of certain pies as the day goes on, but you do have the option to order a whole pie 24 hours ahead.

For several years now I've been seeing the sign reminding me not to miss the Valentine's Day Buffet at the Four Seas. I was talking to my would-be sister-in-law, Stef, about the final days of the Four Seas and we can't remember exactly what year this buffet occurred.

It's Spring and these ducks are ready to get it on with their seemingly unwilling lady friends. Whenever they get into make-new-ducks mode, they seem to paint the rest of the world invisible, including traffic

Be advised, that the IRS is not going to call you to verify social security numbers or other information from your tax return. They simply don't work that way. If you get a call allegedly from the IRS, hang up. Even answering a few non personal questions can cause problems because there have been reports the callee's voice being recorded and used to get personal information with systems that use voice verification. That seems like a stretch, but why risk it and why waste some of your precious time with these scammers.
