One theory of the domestication of dogs was that they initially scavenged from our garbage heaps because they were steady sources of food. At this time, humans were mostly farmers rather than hunter-gatherers (hence the reason the garbage piled up), so the heap probably contained mostly vegetable matter. So the…

In defense of LGA, being delayed due to a light rain is a good thing. It has short runways that end in the water. Even JFK’s shortest runway is 1400 feet longer. I would rather be delayed then end up in Flushing Bay. Not that I would ever fly out of LGA willingly. Calling it a third-world country is being too polite.

He did say that. You can find it as Matthew 7:12 from the Twenty-first Century Modern Twitter Bible Version.

(Please ignore if someone said this already, but kinja is being a pain)

When my mother was younger, her mother came home from the deli with some swiss cheese. After she opened it, she immediately informed her husband (my grandfather) that she needed to have a talk with the deli owner about his cheese. She was angry that she was charged for a pound of cheese but had received cheese with…

Why does this remind me vaguely of Saved by the Bell?

I had the exact conversation with someone who called to get my support for some pro-life thing. I also explained the whole 24 week thing. While I was cooking breakfast sausage (not that it has anything to do with the conversation at hand)

My BC is completely covered and I didn’t have to fight for it. But, there is a link to the NWLC’s help hotline: http://action.nwlc.org/site/PageServe…

I need a serious infusion of caffeine. I just read the headline as Robert Paterson, not Pat Robertson...

Mine favorite is Blinc Mascara Amplified. It's a tubing mascara, which means that it's waterproof but doesn't come off with eye makeup remover. The only way to get them off is very warm water. All mascaras that I have used have a habit of smudging regardless of the formula. I ended up with raccoon eyes by the…

Here's my gaming short story.

I'm the same way, and it's just me in bed! After using safety pins and ruining them, I decided to invest in something. My duvet is faux fur (so nice and comfy!) so the clips just weren't going to cut it. So I got pinionpins! They are like the magnetic anti-theft tags used in clothing stores. You need the special…

*sigh* Me too

I second this suggestion. I prefer the 8 hour moisturizer myself, but this has been my go-to balm for decades. I also like Malin + Goetz Mojito Lip Balm, but it's a little too expensive for my wallet.

My sister has a habit of licking her lips in the winter to the point that they are chapped way past the edge of her lip. This was the only thing that had helped her. My mother and I make sure we pick them up when we see them, because they can be hard to find.

Definitely sneaky. In the past, my sister was a very picky eater (like ordering a hamburger almost everywhere we went). I, on the other hand, love to try new things, and our mother has an onion allergy, so dragging her along just wasn't an option all the time. So, to enjoy my sister's company at an ethnic place, I…

I don't know... I read the original Dear Prudence letter and it's making me feel sort of icky inside. (Warning, I am going to rant here and probably make some people angry)

I just checked the hotel website. It says that pets are allowed, but to call for details. I highly doubt that they called before hand. I bet it was more like, "Hi, we're checking in. We booked 2 nights. Oh, and by the way, we have 17 cats with us so... yeah."

This really should have a NSFW label. Boy, does he have a way with words...

Wow. I am even more grateful that I hate bananas.
