THANK YOU! My fiancee's family doesn't understand why I won't eat any white-ish chip dips without knowing exactly what it is first. Even a tiny taste of ranch starts my gag reflex going, and then I just can't eat.

OMG! Why is this the 1st I've heard of this?!

Trust me, we can smell you. The 2 Asians in our lab also seem to think that they don't need deodorant, and I can't stand next to them because it grosses me out. However, it doesn't bother me nearly as much as people wearing perfume or cologne, so I let it slide and just don't stand too close.

As someone who works in cancer research, I would like family time too.

The way I look at it is, everyone is responsible for not committing assault. Women included. Why wouldn't they be?

I think the "mono" is for the dose. It's a monophasic pill rather than triphasic (e.g. Ortho Tri-Cyclen). Tri-phasics are more close to your natural cycle, and tend to have lower side effects. However, I had to switch to monophasic pills because I was still getting cysts on tri-phasic pills.

That seems like a case of the punishment fitting the crime though and teaching him the value of money. The behavior of the mother in this article involves public shaming though, which is never acceptable.

Sounds incredibly familiar. I was incredibly shy and conflict averse, so I didn't receive the brunt of my mother's wrath. My sister, on the other hand, ended up at "Boys Town" because she was "uncontrollable" and supposedly stole meat from my mother's freezer to give to my dad. (They were divorced and my mother is…

Holy shit! How can you not see the problem with that?! Especially with them showing up at your home!

My worst experience was from a Toyota dealership. They tried selling me a 1989 Toyota Corolla with 70,000 miles for $8000. This was 2012. The Kelly Blue Book value for the same car, same mileage, excellent condition, and delearship re-sell for a 1992 model was $1,800. I told them I'd give them the same amount straight…

I don't know if this really counts as "cheating" because we weren't officially dating, but here it goes:

OMG! Where did you get those?

Pioneer Woman Cooks (http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/)

Our kitchen staff knew that too, and would just throw the already cooked and salted fries back into the fryer for a few seconds. It was enough to dilute the salt without taking the time to make an entire new batch.

As my fiancee says, "Don't serve the good stuff to the peasants (his parents) because they won't appreciate it and think that it's gross."

Our whole staff seemed to have flu like symptoms in the fall of 2009, around the time of the H1N1 swine flu. Oddly enough, this happened after I had the flu (picked up H1N1 from a classmate in my virology class, ironically enough) and was forced to work through it or get fired.

And not all doctors are scientifically literate, either...

It's a California thing.

I had no idea that you could rent a place without the fridge being provided until I moved to CA. The vast majority of rentals here do not have fridges, and I DO NOT UNDERSTAND.

I agree, though I got a lot of harassment from the other (both FOH and BOH) staff as well. When I was still hosting and we were slow, the kitchen staff would crowd around the salad station just to "watch my ass" when I was at the front desk. The manager, on the other hand, liked to come up behind us when we were on…
