So....you're going to send your kid to college with paella pots?

RE: your kid and a computer - a couple of thoughts. The school (web site?) might be able to offer some guidance, particularly if it's a school with a heavy tech emphasis.

Macs these days can run Windows. The advantage is that you're ready to rock with Mac software and most Windows software. The disadvantage is that Macs cost more and you have to buy a copy of Windows to load into it. Macs are very well-made and usually have a higher resale value if she wants to sell it at some point. Apple also has very highly-ranked customer/tech support.

I have a lot more Mac experience than Windows. If someone can add a pros and cons list for it, be my guest. Again, I'd try the school first. If you're dealing with a general, liberal arts school, they'll probably tell you it's up to you.

Oh, Brad -- the hair.

Pssst....Lisa. I don't think any of the text in this has a link to get to the Mental Floss article. The title of the book takes you to Amazon to buy the book. In a humble attempt to help: http://mentalfloss.com/article/62073/15-things-you-might-not-know-about-princess-bride

HEEEEEEEEEE! CUTE!

Adopt a pet, please! They rule!

BTW, John, a slight nit-pick: The syndrome is spelled "Rett." Just pay the usual fine and we'll put it all behind us.

Piggies are very smart beasties.

Someone must be dicing onions in here.....

Those sorts of things always annoyed me, but this is clever. In case it matters to anyone, it has my blessing.

Had I turned on my web cam before watching that, you would have seen me smiling from beginning to end. Thanks for posting, Lisa.
