I literally sprayed spit all over my laptop screen and had a lovely little rainbow of dots. (Did you know that water droplets turn a white screen into multiple colors? Now you do!)

I’m not familiar with wage and hour law enforcement at the municipal level, but states definitely can, should, and do enforce their own labor and employment laws (which may be more stringent than federal laws.) In California, for example, you can file a complaint with the Department of Industrial Relations for most…

It also makes sense that people would confuse harvestmen for spiders, since they kind of look like spiders, but aren’t, even though they are called daddy long legs too...argh! Thanks for bringing this up, though; I never knew there was more than one species that went by that name. In fact, I’d previously heard the…

From your link:

Also, if it’s an open bar, you generally pay per guest regardless of how much they consume. At my wedding, everyone will have to take a breathalyzer before they leave, and if they haven’t had their allotted booze, they’ll need to stick around until they do. I paid for that wine; you’re gonna DRINK IT AND LIKE IT!

Serious question, are there people who can burn through their jeans? Why do jeans need additional UV protection?

I’m calling BS. There’s no way they fired him for being HIV-positive, because that’s illegal. And as countless BCO commenters have taught me over the last year, restaurants never do anything illegal, so all these stories are made up.

OH GOD I’M OLD.

That’s kind of how I feel about bitchy responses to my comments here.

By whom?

The only reason to be ashamed of dressing up your pets is if they don’t like it. Our overwhelming desire to see them looking that freaking cute should not trump their comfort. But if they’re into it, DO IT.

Disclaimer: I don’t know much about curly hair, so forgive me if this suggestion is inappropriate, but: dry shampoo. Just a little spritz at the roots to absorb the grease, and you can easily go another day or two without washing.

Seconded. My skin always looks great when I get some sun (yeah, I know, it’s killing me, shut up) such that I often go without makeup, and it’s tempting to think the causation runs the other way. But when I’ve forced myself to go without makeup, or just been too lazy/busy to wear it, it never seems to help my skin.…

LOL that was my middle school lipstick too!

I think the waxing advice is a lie. I gave up waxing after finally admitting

Wow, never heard that one before! Learn something new every day.

I was perplexed by that too. Maybe he was trying to indicate the emphasis was off? Like the customer was saying RO-tis-SARY instead of ro-TIS-sary?

There’s some evidence that drink garnishes in general—and that includes things like lemon wedges people get for iced tea and water in restaurants, as well as cocktail garnishes—aren’t all that sanitary, because of the way they’re stored and handled. That said, it is something the health department regulates, and I’ve…

Why are you asking the goyim? You know that means non-Jewish people, right?

Minor nitpick: it’s made with enzymes, not bacteria, from a calf’s stomach.
