We did San Juan Batista (we did them in dyads). My partner made her part out of sugar cubes, and the night before it was due, her sister ate it. Oh, I also miss having artichoke plants in our front yard and farm stands all over the city.

And there was that one time her ex boyfriend came back to town but he was an assassin and it all happened during the time right around their reunion which was weird and then...

I grew up in San Jose, CA. I don’t miss the droughts, I don’t miss the wildfires, I don’t miss the biker gangs in the park near my house, I don’t miss the horrible public transport and sprawl where we lived, I don’t miss the focus on material goods, and I don’t miss having no seasons. But boy howdy, do I miss the…

I just moved to Palo Alto from NYC(although I grew up 2 hours north of SF) and it’s honestly very strange. Beautiful, but strange. I walked into an actual robot store on University Ave the other day. There were no people in the store, just robots, and one sales associate robot that greeted me and following me around…

It's hard to manufacture a profitable persecution complex just following the word. Especially when you lack any other marketable skills.

I don’t believe it actually exists.

I have, though living in North Dakota makes that easy. Mount Rushmore is kind of cheesy, but also kind of fun, and the surrounding area is pretty. I don’t know. It’s not a star attraction, but I’d rather go there than some other places.

I actually really enjoy South Dakota- if you’re driving across the country for any reason, definitely go through there (sorry, North Dakota), as there’s lots to enjoy: the Badlands, the Black Hills, Deadwood, and of course, the ultimate in roadside kitsch that is Wall Drug.

Yeah, the MA numbers are waaaaay off for Boston.

Assuming that you're trying on petites sizes, so that they're correctly scaled (I'm petite too), I wonder if maybe this is a shoe thing?

Kleen Canteen FTW! I love mine, it has a pirate sticker on it. I've had it for...more than five years? I recently had to replace the drinking cap part when the handle popped off permanently. I now have a sports bottle-type top and it only cost about $3.

Me too. It had so much potential. Gorgeous fabric, lace and color. My 14 year old self watched breathlessly as she sketched out the design, cut up the fabric and skillfully maneuvered the sewing machine. I actually gasped when she showed up in this failure. It was a pink potato sack with lace.

Not on the registry, this one of a kind abomination:

I work in the government in public drinking water department for my state and I can tell you that water from the tap is NOT recycled sewer water. Where I live, water from the tap is either groundwater, like from the water table in the earth, or surface water, which is from reservoirs, lakes, streams, creeks and the…

But bottled water has chemicals leached from the plastic, especially if the bottle is reused or warmed up at any time. Gross. Plus it's bad for the environment. A sink filter is a much better option than bottled water.

Isn't most store bought water just another location's tap water though?

Team Klean Kanteen FTW.

I'm with your husband on this: get an actual reusable water bottle. Better for your wallet and MUCH MUCH better for the environment.

Correction: the attorney general is Maura Healey. She replaced Martha Coakley. Yes, the same one that lost to both Scott Brown and Charlie Baker. Healey is a considerable step up from Coakley.

You wear more than me. Rub wet washcloth on face, rub drugstore moisturizer into skin, brush teeth, put on deodorant. Fin.
