I actually think that that person may not be alive.

You mean they don’t look like Skeletor?

Absolutely! I usually make a jar of ghee each week. Take a pound of good, unsalted butter, cook it on med-low heat for 15-20 minutes, until the milk solids turn golden brown and start sinking.

Pretty much this.

I stayed away from those situations as much as I could. I know, that’s not a great answer, but if you know being around other smokers makes you want to smoke (Christ, yes it does, even now!), then avoid those situations unless you’re feeling really good and know you won’t bend. If you’re still shaky on the willpower,…

I can’t stress number 10 enough — don’t beat yourself up if you fall off the wagon. I quit smoking so many times only to start up again, and I was so furious with myself for it. It took a while, but I did it, and I’ve been quit for over 10 years now.

Check out things like Meetup and find people nearby who are doing things you like (music, hiking, sports, etc.).

I feel like you could piggyback this with a time-tested microwave cleaning trick, too.

Wow, Pam Stenzel is a shrill, unpleasant harpy. I imagine her problem is she got burnt early on as a teen and now uses her superpower of Extreme Bitterness to destroy those who might not have an extremely unhappy sexual experience.

I think it really is kind of destroying females’ self-images,” says Fallon.

Have you noticed the type of people who use that word in that context? They’re nearly all deeply misogynistic. People who use the term “female” and “male” in that context creep me out. And it’s not just people in conversation, I’ve seen authors use it that way as well, which is extra creepy.

Oh that is so gross. SO gross. I’m so sorry!

I guess my counterpoint is, why would you? I mean, you don’t have to. No one’s going to make you marry/reproduce with some asshole who’s going to treat you like a 50s housewife.

We refer to these guys as Road Starfish.

I put a Cyclops LED bulb in my regular headlight after going through 3 halogen versions in a year or so, and I’ve been extremely happy with how bright it is. It could also be, depending on your bike, a range/width of beam/enclosure thing, too, so a new bulb may not be the only thing that might need…

Man, this bitch crazy. This is how my crazy aunt is, and it’s why my dad and I (and the rest of our family) has nothing to do with her.

TELL ME MORE.

Awesome!

For me, people not getting those subtle (or unsubtle) cues aren’t the issue. It’s the people who don’t get them, then are told in no uncertain terms that there is no “spark” there (or whatever) and continue to stalk/harass/question someone else.
