Ugh, I do not miss that shit! It would be great if the US could join much of the world by paying waitresses a fair wage (and end tipping).

That was the actress from 3rd Rock from the Sun!

Same - I was 12. We were in the library watching the launch and then immediately marched back to our classroom. :(

New Zealand should also be on this list.

I use Infinite Storm - it not only allows me to play music or a podcast, but I can toggle the overall volume and white noise volume.

We still have an avocado shortage in NZ. Wah wah... :(

It is always hilarious to me when someone uses the phrase “your an idiot”. Oh, the irony.

Same! I’m glad I got the blue or black suit thing out of my head/wardrobe, though. That was the industry standard when I started.

Is this just for the Northern Hemisphere...?

Yeah, heard her on the news (here in NZ) this morning and just lost it.

We don’t allow our kitties in the bedroom (they shed like crazy!), but ever since they were kittens, the first thing I did every morning was to get up and cuddle with them for 10 minutes. Now only one can fit on my lap at a time - and only one wants cuddles first thing, anyway. Still. :)

May be useful - we have an avocado shortage out here in New Zealand, and we’ll take pretty much anything we can get!

Wonder why it isn’t on Gawker? Oh, right...

Same. :-/ And have been trying to make up for it the last 4 years (with no luck).

This is the second article on this site that mentions the STATUE of limitations. Where is this statue...?

I tried asking this question when we moved to New Zealand and started looking for houses. The trouble is, most Kiwis like to move every few years,so the most common answer from the realtor was “they have been living here for five years!!”.

So, if a snack comes in one bag meant tomlast for a period of time, how do you handle portion control? Is there a way to gauge calories etc?
