And eggs don't even need to be refrigerated!

The "use by" date on milk is actually a "sell by" date. Once you open a carton of milk, it's good for only 5-7 days, regardless of the sell-by date. Likewise, you can buy a carton of milk on its sell-by date and it will still be good for another week.

Many yeses to big butt / short legs and gym clothes that make me look good in public. I mean, I'm not going to fancy dinners in yoga clothes, but my Lululemon pants are essential travel items, and some weekends I never put on real clothes. The relaxed fit is great for lounging and sitting in uncomfortable seats for…

I would like to point out that all of you with partners do in fact have plans for NYE. You are spending it with someone.

My ex and his child bride are Jezzies, so I'll keep this short.

My dad is a PA and makes quite a comfortable living (low six-figures in a low COL area). I too tend to prefer booking appointments with the PA in my doctor's office — she is more attentive, actually listens to what I say, gives me a range of options, and doesn't act judgmental. (I realize this is a personality thing…

I implemented the giftless Christmas several years ago and have enjoyed the holidays SOOO much more ever since. Most people honor my wishes not to burden me with junk I don't need. Those who insist they MUST get me something receive a thank-you note in return. I never feel obligated to buy reciprocal shit. It is bliss.

Echoing the others, definitely ask her out now. I find that with OKC, guys who are going to ask me out (vice just wanting attention) do so within the first few messages. Not sure if this is a big city thing, but I've discovered that if we don't arrange a meeting within a week or so of the first message, I get bored…

Well yes, I suppose the next *any* cabinet Secretary could be a woman, if you poll academics about the magic touch a woman would bring to the position. This article completely ignores that few if any of the actual frontrunners for Treasury are women. Jack Lew and Erskine Bowles top the lists I've heard.

I'm the malcontent in my friendships and family. I tell people every year that I don't want anything. If there's something I want, I'll buy it myself. I've almost succeeded in completely eliminating gift exchanges (I don't buy anyone anything, including family members), but every year, someone still decides to ignore…

I've been on OKC for a year and I think I need to give it a break. It was amusing at first, but each bad date just made me miss my ex more and more. I tried Match for three months and good lord, was that a waste of money. I guess since guys were paying, they weren't going to waste their time with someone like me? I…

Do you usually use moisturizer after showers? I've always had extremely dry skin and won't even look at water without slathering on lotion, but if you're not used to water drying you out, the intense itching can come as a shock.

I would especially like to call a moratorium on people offering me advice that completely ignores my personality and what I'm looking for in a relationship. The next person who tells me to join a meetup group or sign up for something exceedingly social is going to get punched in the neck. I don't know how better to…

I would like to call a moratorium on well-meaning people offering me dating advice. This includes, but is not limited to, advice to:

If you're meeting these guys on the internet, that's just the nature of online dating. Paradox of choice meeting lack of accountability and all that. Your mother was right, you can't trust strange men on the internet.

I have food and water and batteries and a stack of piddle pads my dog will refuse to use, but I'm not worried about losing power (didn't lose it for derecho or Irene either). My biggest concern is that one of the massive trees around my house is going to come down. I really wish I had an SO or even a roommate right…

I've never been able to convince my dog to use a piddle pad. This will be an interesting couple of days.

Gven that people who post here are from across the country (and world), it only makes sense that the highest vote getters are companies that the most people have to deal with across the country. So yeah, the way the poll was conducted ensured the winners would be monopolies.
