unless they're red, then you can leave them on, but you have to boil them longer and you need sour cream or a lot of milk/butter to get them as creamy. [ Reply | More

In general, first. There is an Italian version of mashed potato with garlic and oo instead of cream/milk/butter. In this one you usually peel after to keep the potatoes from absorbing the water. [ Reply | More

East... don't list it in work experience. Just create a second "area" (not like she's at risk of going to two pages) and call that "Other Experience." There she can bullet point being caregiver. Then just coach her on how to deal with this in an interview. It will come up. If she has any affiliation with a support group, that could go in there too. [ Reply | More

Visa is insured. They don't get back 1.00 for 1.00 they probably have about a 0.55-0.60 on the dollar recovery rate. They make money by charging interest fees to all of their customers. You buy something for $1000 using your visa card. if you have an interest rate of like 13% (which is good for Visa) that means that after a year that thing cost you $1130.00 (in theory, because most likely you'll pay off part of the principal every month so the balance will always be changing). The also charge business for the ability to accept visa cards, it's a very small amount per transaction, but it adds up. [ Reply | More

You are buying a carseat though, right? If it rains, you will be bumming pushing the stroller and hauling your stuff unless you're literally a block away.
