I find Grimm to be hit or miss. I'll still watch it if we're home on a Friday night though.

LP, I didn't see it yet, but it's next on my OnDemand list. I actually felt bad for the Hexenbeast when she lost her powers, though. I think this week's was the only one I haven't seen, but I feel out of the loop. Plus, Nick is some yummy eye candy and that makes my Friday night

Sparkling cider. They brought it over and put in in the freezer to chill, but then forgot about it. They called us at about 9:30 to warn us to take it out before it exploded, but by then it was too late...

It's interesting that this came up in pre-marital counseling. What happens if you don't want to do them one night?

Did he have to agree to doing anything all the time?

<div>It was one of our 'hot buttons' that we brought up when we first went. We didn't have much that we didn't see eye to eye on, so when gender roles got brought up, that was the first thing we both thought of.

Hey if it works for you that's great! I was just curious about the context - like I said. Nosy. I definitely agree that sometimes in a marriage you do some things to avoid fights. <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-smile.gif" border="0" alt="Smile" title="Smile" />

Omg, that cat is huge.

Brandi, we fall into some traditional roles that way and N really likes having a defined list of who does what. I just like pitching in whenever, but N needs to KNOW what to do. We've just agreed to divide it up.

Hi! I'm brooding over a hard apple cider because my cousin's mom is an idiot and I'm trying to sell my car on CL.

Steph, what college do you work at? H graduated from the UofM. I love me some Gopher Baseball.

I do the laundry and H cleans the bathroom because I hate that chore.

I had a hard time with the price too, but I justified it by wearing them every day. And the bigger size ones are packed away with my maternity clothes. they will live again someday! I seriously own so many pairs of shoes, but I only wear these (and my running shoes when appropriate).

Driving gale force winds, rain, hail and a route that includes a very high curvy flyover, in the dark. White knuckles all the way here, but I had to get here because H needed to leave to go to his BFF's house and help her count plates for her wedding. That's another story for another day. I wish I could tell it all on here, complete with pictures, but H would be pissed at me. </div>

Hello

I'm only here for a little bit before I head home. How is Grimm nowadays? I watched the first four or five episodes and got bored, which is disappointing because I was really excited for it.
