This exactly!! The washboard abs are fun and all but on a day to day basis, I want someone who I can pig out with on the couch or go out to check out this new restaurant with or get sloshed with a couple times per week. I don't feel self conscious about their body in comparison to mine because they must have found…

I once read about shifting from asking "What do you do?" to "How do you spend your time?" and I think it is a brilliant suggestion. If people want to volunteer their job titles, they will, if not, it'll usually lead to an interesting conversation about hobbies. About 15% of the people are confused at the question all…

Well, if they were the starch based ones, they are edible! If they were the styrofoam ones... well, glad you are ok! http://puffystufftn.com/about.html

Hate to break it to you but each time you do this, you damage your liver and your kidneys. The effect is cumulative. Stop doing it if you don't want cirrhosis nor renal failure, later in life. http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/81…

I have only used this pharmacy for 1 thing. A generic prescription antifungal - fluconozole for my cat. At my vet's office it was $120 for 1 month's supply. At my local Duane Reade it was $465 for a 3 months supply. At Costco it was $36 for a 3 month supply. No, I did not stutter. $36 instead of $465 or $360...…

You can mix sour cream into the omelette (beaten eggs) before frying, too. It makes the entire omlette a little fluffier. If you are into that sort of thing! I like to add extra fats to my scrambled eggs and so far I love adding 1T/egg- heavy cream, sour cream, melted butter, or creme fraiche. All except the…

What is this "standard pre-nup" that you speak of? Is it like a standard NYC lease? Where can I get a copy of one? I've always assumed you need to hire a lawyer who specializes in such things to get one.

You feed him less food. He'll be hungry and probably start doing things like raiding your garbage cans, etc. but either a pet gets more exercise or you feed him less. More exercise clearly isn't an option for your pup.

See if there is an IMPACT course in your neighborhood. They really really do help with the freeze-up in any situation because they help you practice when you are in that fear/adrenlaine state. Seriously changed my life. The courses in NYC are pricey but they can help/have tuition assistance if your income isn't…

Bring back Reading Rainbow. That episode about colonial life was so awesome, I've always wanted to go, even as an adult!!!

I don't believe they will double tax us on our Roth IRAs when we retire but even if they do, the amount of time you have for your money to grow is so worth it to just make yourself contribute now. I'd rather pay a 40% tax on a million dollars than to have a $100K saved up in my mattress, when I retire. Also, I have…

I am confused, how is the IRA "stuck" at WFC? The only reason why I ask is that IRA rollovers to other firms are basically free (everyone wants your IRA business). When I rolled my Roth IRA from Chase to Scottrade I didn't even have to tell Chase I was leaving. I went to Scotttrade with my account number and filled…

I got called in Manhattan in 1999 and then Brooklyn in 2007. Brooklyn was SOOOOOO much better!! It had air condiitoning and free Wifi. I sadly didn't get selected that time. But I totally would have volunteered to serve there, if I could!

Average does not equal median. So no, that does not mean 50% of women are a size 14 or above.

Wear them with pride. You live life and you learn. They are your battle trophies from your explorations of yourself. Would you tell someone who fought off a bear to hide their scars or cover them with tattoos? These are reminders of a where you once were but who you were then made you who you are now and you are so…

What is this thing you speak of? Asks a woman who has started seeing a man with a beard and wondering how long I can handle the scratchiness before I beg him to shave it off?

As a woman who doesn't usually respond to just "Hi" or just "hello!" on a street, I would beg to differ on how just those words alone being how most interactions start IRL. Street Hollerers ruin it for everyone, too. You need to start off with more. The best online conversation starters are a "Hello! That photo you…

I get offended by the "where are you from?" question. I think you are asking it from a point of genuine curiousity and not to offend but I would like to suggest you take care with your phrasing. I get annoyed when the question is asked of me after I've already exchanged a few lines of dialogue with someone. It should…

Racism is excused because they have an Asian friend? :(
