My clip-on LED reading light. Good for the plane ride, and also in the hotel room so I don’t disturb my husband while he’s sleeping.

Great piece of writing. You’ve nailed him.

Yeah, I happily ate Jiffy for years, before I realized it’s got pig fat in it!

He’s got that rolling around on the ground in agony part down cold! Impressive.

ymmv, but I found it fascinating to drive around and look at some of the gorgeous architecture of the derelict and abandoned buildings and fantasize about fixing them up. And check out the community gardens. DIA was great. I also enjoy strolling around the Hart Plaza area. There are some great sculptures there,…

I’ve always considered myself to be very lucky in my career. I was never out of work, and if I was unhappy in a job, I was always able to find a different one. But then, I was in an area(IT) where there was a big and growing demand. So I put myself in a good position to be lucky.

I’d be more likely to believe that the couple told the cops that a black child was being abducted by 2 old white ladies. 

She kept her hand in that exact position without moving for 20+ minutes. But maybe she just subconsciously makes white power signs on camera. It’s POSSIBLE.  //sarcasm

Those sons of bitches! I noticed my battery was draining faster, and I was at the Apple store just last week because I was thinking of getting one of those $29 battery replacements. They told me my battery was fine, and did not mention this issue at all!

Where do you get the pickled ginger? I don’t think I’ve ever seen it. My recipe for sesame noodles calls for some thinly slivered cucumber, they blend right in with the thin noodles and make the dish less carb-heavy.

I agree, the way the fabric draped on her was fabulous!

No lady, every floor length white dress does not belong to you. Besides the skirt, the waist, and the fit being different, Meghan’s is less off the shoulder, and it has a shorter sleeve; it’s almost a 3/4 sleeve.

Wow, they’re really flipping over this!

Another vote for Wegman’s, they are great(although a little pricey) for produce and also great for cheese. Their prices for staples I buy often, like cereal, dairy products, juice and coffee are very good. They have good natural food and ethnic sections. Oh, and Wegman’s bakery and fresh fish are outstanding. I’ve…

They’re not private train companies. Also, you might as well say, why is the government paying for airports for private company planes to land and take off?

You don’t take the money as a cash advance. You write yourself a convenience check. Almost every credit card I’ve ever had, has offered them to me.

Thank you. I totally agree. You may or may not ever have an emergency, but you are definitely paying non-deductible interest, and why do that when you’ve got money sitting in the bank probably earning < 1%? I constantly get “convenience check” offers in the mail for my credit cards, usually they offer a year or more…

Laugh if you like, but some gas stations have pretty good coffee nowadays, depending on what part of the country you’re in. BP stations often have Green Mountain brand, which is quite good, and Speedway also has a decent coffee, as long as the place is busy and it’s freshly made. And if you live anywhere near a…

I remember when you could get buy a bag of Bustelo beans at any bodega in New York and get them fresh ground on the spot. It’s very good if you use it to make cafe con leche. That’s what it’s meant for.

I had a Fitbit Flex for about a year and a half, until I lost it-it fell off somewhere. It really did motivate me to try to reach the 10k steps a day, which I was doing pretty consistently during the whole time I had it. For about 6 months I was also entering my food intake, but that got to be too tedious, so I gave…
