- 4-5x a week. An easy way to cook more often is buy a bunch of meats and marinate them in a single day in a zip lock bag. Use different marinades of course. Drop them in the freezer and take them out the morning ahead of dinner. Cuts down a lot of "what should we eat" inertia that leads to ordering out.

- i think it would be great, just make sure there is ALWAYS an adult supervising and keeping them from getting too rough in their play. trampoline is my kids FAVORITE activity and the people who shriek not to get them should not let anyone have a swimming pool, either. they key is proper supervision at all times.

        lol...skiing is definitely not something your pediatrician will tell you not to do. there's a reason they aren't covered by insurance...and skiing is. if you don't get this, good luck to you.

[-]Toilet clog. Our cat vomited and I cleaned up the vomit with a ton of toilet paper. It was late, I had stepped in it, and I wasn't thinking.....way too much toilet paper! Now, are plunging, hot water pouring, dish washing liquid pouring...everything I could find on the web on how to unclog a toilet, the toilet is still clogged. Is there a liquid product I can pour down it to unclog it? I feel like such an idiot. I think the cat thinks I'm too stupid to be her owner.

  - If it is tp just give it time. The paper will disolve and everything will go down. And stop putting all that shit in your pipes. Just relax. (For future reference/needs, get a plunger and some of the thick Liquid Plumber clog breaker. (You don't need it for this but it is great to have on hand. BUT MAKE SURE IT IS SOMEHWERE SAFE.)
