That looks delicious! My fave goat cheese salad I invented with a friend around Turkey day. Roasted butternut squash, craisins, goat cheese, and toasted butternut seeds on lettuce of your choice with balsamic. *Homer Simpson drool*

See, I would agree with you...except goat cheese. Just a little bit makes everything, EVERYTHING, better. I quit dairy for a month for this stupid cleanse thing I was doing with a friend, and I didn't miss any dairy product but goat cheese. I just, I need it.

It doesn't have to be this hard: Burrito Bowl - Chicken, no rice, easy black beans, corn salsa, lots of pico de gallo and extra lettuce. It is basically the biggest, happiest salad in the world. Ultimately we're talking 3oz of chicken breast and about 1/4c of beans and almost no calories for the lettuce and salsas.…

What exactly is being mansplained here? He's quite rightly pointing out that men find it easy to slip into (or simply be in) patriarchal normative modes of thought when surrounded by nothing but other men, especially when dealing with a dynamic of power over others. Sounds to me like the OP even acknowledges his own…

Can we all just leave Bruce Jenner the fuck alone? Let Bruce be Bruce and do what he/she (have not heard word of which pronoun Bruce prefers) wants to do without ridiculing or giving our own sage two cents. God damn.

I hear what you're saying, but having planned a wedding I also know that it's pretty gauche to invite an entire group of people you've been friends with since the age of twelve minus two for the sake of an extra hundred bucks. More to the point, half of our mutual friends I saw in pics have the same relationship with…

So my good friend (let's call her Tanya) and I found out Thursday night that we had not been invited to our mutual close friend (let's call her Bev)'s, wedding. The two of us found out through photos of the bachelorette party and wedding posted by our circle of friends on Facebook. From the pics, it looks like all of…

This is the best story I have ever heard.

Be careful. Rubber bands, yarn, and other linear materials can be super dangerous for kitties when swallowed. It essentially can bunch up their intestines like a drawstring purse. My little guy had to have surgery last summer when he dug into the trash and swallowed a bunch of gift ribbon.

You're so lucky your kitty is okay. Rubber bands, yarn, and other linear materials can be super dangerous for kitties when swallowed. It essentially can bunch up their intestines like a drawstring purse. My little guy had to have surgery last summer when he dug into the trash and swallowed a bunch of gift ribbon.

Mine does that as well, but he likes to gnaw on the edges of the paper too.

Yes, let's.

It becomes more of a respect thing than a cleaning thing.

I can give it a shot. I've tried something similar in the past, and it hasn't worked. He either just "forgets" to do his list of chores or tells me he doesn't like being micromanaged. *eyeroll*

I should have said something but didn't. I was just too tired to make a thing of it and just cleaned up later because I couldn't stand to sit for long in a messy room. I've tried doing the, "It's important to me" thing. And he'll improve for a week or so, and then right back to square one. Or, and I love this, he…

I hear you. My husband gets emotional, but at least he's not mean. But it's very hard to stand my ground when he's crying or telling me that I'm overacting or being unrealistic.

Kinda cranky right now since I had to work today and I asked my husband to clean up around the house while I was out. When I came home nothing had been done. So after working for the sixth day in a row, I got to come home to clean the kitchen and livingroom on my own. This happens all the time. I work full time while…

I always regretted standing up for myself because I was afraid that I had hurt her

I've kind of made a point of not seeing it at this juncture.

If I remember correctly, she developed her cold a few days after coming home, but up to a week after seems totally reasonable. She got better on her own, and I'm sure yours will too. We just gave her lots of extra attention and made sure she ate and drank enough. When she was sick was the only time she ever full-on…
