I live in an apartment in NYC that is smaller than Bloomberg's microapartments and I've hosted up to six people for dinner. All of this whinging just reads like people who are used to having things a certain way (i.e. more space) and are coming up with alternative rituals as justification for why they're making life…

In New York and New Jersey we call this a diner.

I can't believe I'm standing up for the Palin's but, Alaska especially outside of Anchorage is a different place with different rules than the lower 48. An inter-generational party is not that uncommon because towns are really small. And Alaska has a rampant alcoholism problem, which yeah accounts for everyone being…

You know what affects tightness? Stress. Went through a period with an ex where we literally couldn't have sex because penetration was so painful. I was at the point where I was thinking of seeing my gyno because something HAD to be biologically wrong. Then we got drunk and had sex and it was great, and it stopped…

Uhm so I got so into making the video that I started obsessing over the directors. Nigel Dick directed Crazy, Diane Martel did Genie in a Bottle and also more recently Miley Cryus's "we can't stop".

I'd approve but I'm in the grays too ;)

There are three separate issues: therapist privilege, spousal privilege, and recording.

As an ethnic outer borough resident, I have a confession: we are plotting to rob them.

It's called being black. Despite the stress of racism black people age, on average, ten years behind white people - hair color aside. Dark skin has natural sunblock. I'm in my mid-thirties and my forehead only this year decided to start to crinkle. I dislike it, I understand now why botox exists. Note I still don't…

Not a scientific theory, but, I grew up eating beans five days a week, usually but not always for dinner. I'm not particularly gaseous, and unless I've been consuming loads of dairy, my farts tend towards silent and not deadly. My poop also does not smell, and I know this because I used to live in a house with a…

False.

As a native New Yorker who still lives here, I'd like to point out that the disease that you highlight :

Natural parenting is horseshit.

Mosquitoes also kill more people than ebola does...so....

Short answer yes.

Closer to 500, but if you drive the same distance north (towards VT/Maine) those roads are basically free once you get out of the city.
