I do something similar, but using a mind map (specifically MindJet). It gives me the option to add an icon to the entries so I can tell at a glance what I have ordered, what needs to be ordered, what has arrived, and who I still need to buy for. It’s so much easier than trying to keep a mental note or a paper list…

You’ll change your mind very quickly when you by an NYC MTA ticket from a machine with cash and get 13 dollar coins as your change.

I bet Florida is grateful to Texas for taking the heat off of them, if only for a nanosecond...

Do you know what is delicious? Adding thyme to scrambled eggs. Great, now I want eggs for dinner...

I know! I was going to say that her son has probably seen enough vaginas already online. Reading about one was probably boring to him.

When I was traveling with school, we were told the same thing about Italy. They suggested we ask for a table “al libre” (I think that’s how it spelled) because there could be a cover charge for sitting inside.

I have a feeling that Florida offered up a reward for any state that could out-Floridia them for a few days. I wonder what Kentucky got in the deal?

Paul was one too. I mean, the majority of the New Testament consists of letters he wrote, which contain things that Jesus may or may not have preached (remember, Paul never actually met the guy). Never mind that he actively preached against following the Jewish Laws *coughLeviticuscough*. In fact, he was practically…

My aunt faced a similar situation many years ago. Her insurance covered a pap smear, but not the doctor’s visit needed to do the pap smear. It was only after she explained it to them (multiple times) that you need the doctor’s visit to get the test did they relent. Her words were something like, “So what, am I…

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.
