This book is filled with lots of actual laugh out loud comments. Two are mine. They do not fall in that category.

Would someone please create a flash animation time-line of U.S. history sorted by event weight. So you'd probably start with the constitution then maybe the Civil War, then maybe Pearl Harbor. I wonder how we'd start determining weight once we got to the 12th or 14th event.

Many suggestions across a wide variety of topics. We've done this and it works even though I thought it would ruin the bread.

Buying fresh, non-processed bread and freezing half the loaf If you're like us, you're often at the crossroads of a bread conundrum. On the one hand, you love the fresh-baked bread, but on the other, you don't eat enough to get through the loaf before it turns into something out of a science experiment. On the other hand, you have some name brand supermarket stuff from the Nixon administration that's still "fresh," but un-tasty. We're slow on the uptake, but freezing the fresh stuff works better than fine. Just make sure to wrap it up tight before socking it away.
