More power to you if you can commit to living off the grid, but what is she doing about waste/sewage? If the city can cap her sewer, then surely she's using it, she's just off the grid (in that respect) by not paying for it...?

I am missing the injustice here; she wants city services but not to pay city taxes. She admits to using the sewer lines but not paying the bills. They capped her sewer because she wouldn't pay to use it like all of her neighbors were. She's not in trouble for using solar power. She's in trouble for using an…

Thank God for Julia Child. This is just a reminder of how awesome she really was.

A lot of places have regulations where you can't give away free alcoholic drinks. A couple bars here in Oregon used to have a "buy 1 get 1 free" deal for their happy hour, but giving away free alcohol violated the liquor statutes so they had to change it to 50% off happy hours. So it was the same thing, but wasn't…

Binge drinking is bad m'kay, I guess.

Here's how you know you're a nerd—you look at the second shirt and think "How is a riff on the triforce from Legend of Zelda objectifying?"

You have no tuna macaroni and cheese, you have no recipes made with chicken or cream of mushroom Campell's soup, you have no devilled eggs or tuna fish salad, and you have no meatloaf.

I'll just leave this Aquarium gelatin salad right here.

Just an excuse to post this (from "The Groove Tube") ...

It's not a REAL midcentury potluck until you bring this bad boy out to the table. BEHOLD THE MONSTROUSNESS AND WEEP FOR YOUR LIFE.

The sandwich cake is alive and well in Scandinavia. It's called a smörgåstårta (in Swedish anyway).

Screw your "exercise" and "fresh air". THIS is why people were skinny in the '50s and early '60s; don't you try to tell me otherwise.

That frosted ribbon loaf is a work of goddamned art.

Speaking as a passionate seamstress with a crush on Andrej Pejic, I don't find this comment as upsetting as many here do. To me he is speaking specifically to the fact that men, regardless of build, have more narrow pelvises. CIS-Women ALWAYS have outwardly-flared hipbones, and those born male don't. And designers are…

Bring out the torches....

Nursing homes. Fuck them, and especially their administration. I spent several years as an EMT and we did a lot of nursing home calls, either nursing home to hospital or hospital returning to nursing home. I've seen them all, from the "nice" ones I'd probably be ok having a family member in, to the ones that were…

If the measure of a civilization is how it treats its weakest members, the U.S. is failing. Miserably, and on all counts.

Everyone is evil. But she stuck to her story and got some form of justice. I hope she sues them into bankrupcy!!!!

A note to rape culture apologists; this is the kinds of shit that happens when you push the "she was asking for it" narrative. Nobody is safe when this attitude is allowed flush. Being elderly won't be protect you from being victim blamed and slut shamed. Very young children won't be protected from it either. So…
