I don’t know. It’s a very weird relationship.

It took me a long time to figure out that Elmo’s weird friend is not called “Mr. Nude-o”.

Then they serve paraffin sponge cake to the American GIs!

I think I just stuck them in and hoped for the best. I did try it first with some really old ones that I was thinking of tossing anyway.

Don’t feel bad. I will be 34 this year and I’ve only done it once, a couple of months ago, after _I_ found out it could be done.

In the washing machine.

Plolive! I can’t stop laughing.

Exactly my thought.

Capers are capers. You can make mock capers out of nasturtium seed pods, though.

I agree! And my husband prefers it at night. Right when I’m trying to focus on falling asleep.

My daugher (b. 2012) is named Elinor. I’m a little annoyed that Eleanor is gaining in popularity and glad I chose the spelling I did - I was reading a lot of Jane Austen when I was pregnant. I discovered that spelling and liked how simple it was in addition to the fact that the character is a sensible, thoughtful,…

Husband’s ex-girlfriend, aged 26, would not eat “food that touched other food.”

This is just not true.

That’s what I thought: what on earth does she think people normally do with their awards?

I didn’t know that was a dealbreaker for me until I moved into my current place (electric). Never again.

This was in California with an American roommate. But I am half-English and lived there as a child.

Ha! That reminds me of my old roommate who used to yell at me for putting the water pitcher in the fridge. He claimed we don’t absorb water as well when it’s colder than room temperature. And I said, “Okay, when you stop doing coke regularly, I will consider not putting the water pitcher in the fridge.”

Ours was driving across the country and camping. Not always possible to find privacy, but when we had thunderstorms, it was nice.

It’s weirdest when it is your ex-boyfriend’s new girlfriend.
