My last two jobs were straight casual. Jeans. T-shirts. Shorts in summer (but the last one had issues with flip flops). One was in advertising, the other was in telecom. I'm now at a non-profit where I have to dress nicely (well, business casual) and I like it so much better. I feel more put together. It is…

Cold is such a matter of perspective. My first trip to California was to the bay area in August. It was hot here in Chicago. 90 degrees. I'll never forget how comparatively cold it was in SF. I was just used to it actually being hot in the summer and not cold wind off the bay chilly. Of course, it is all of 24…

Sapphires are so underrated. If you like color look into them. Because they come in every color under the sun. Red sapphires are better known as rubies :). And they are criminally undervalued compared to diamonds, yet often are actually more rare.

My husband has many great qualities, but I had to pick the ring I wanted out myself, or he would have gotten me something I would have hated. Probably some overpriced white diamond set in yellow gold. Jewelry all looks the same to him. Like, I can literally see him glaze over when you bring stuff like that up. I…

I was thinking her diet is Hohos and potato chips.

I love that she went full on mullet dress. I also love that Idris took his daughter to the Oscars.

I used to play these games as a kid. I had a fondness for SpaceQuest. I've always been a space nerd though. I will disagree with King's Quest. I enjoyed most of those, except for one of the later ones. I can't remember.. maybe 4?

That Seahawks helmet is from hell. As a Bears fan, I think the bear needs to be on navy blue and not orange. And I like orange. But there is too much orange all up in that.

You can toggle the map to only have the quests and not all the chests and whatnot already. It's amazing how empty that makes the map. Are you talking about making that your default map state? I actually like all the chests and whatnot on the map because I'm a completionist when it comes to that sort of thing.

Trout, I came here to tell you we have almost exactly the same burrito order and that it almost makes up for your pineapple as a pizza topping hate. You are back on my good side.

I thought for sure this was only my husband. Honestly I'm trying to get him to just go full on beard so I don't have to find hair all over my sink

Husband and I moved in together after a year. I'd kill for my own place with the way he snores though. He's killing a broad. Sometimes I just go sleep with the cat on the couch. She doesn't snore. She just crabs at me.

I cannot love her more. Seriously, she is such a BAMF.

Pineapple is every damn thing on a pizza. Add some ham and you get that sweet/salty/savory mix that is divine.

My mom has a friend who named one of her kids Dusty. Last name? Rhodes. Also, the two other kids are nicknamed Bumpy and Rocky (I do not know what their actual names are because they were always referred to as Bumpy and Rocky). But the oldest is legitimately named Dusty. My mom's friend was a hippie in the 1960s…

As a Bulls fan, I'm glad we dodged a bullet on that. We're doing all we can to keep Derrick Rose's ligaments and tendons attached to his knees.

I'd love to see Chloe Neil's Chicago Vampire series made into a series, or Richelle Mead's succubus series.

I was so relieved when Chicago did not get the Olympics. Seriously. I could not imagine a month of commuting gridlock and abject misery for those of us who would have to live through it. So I'll cross my fingers for you to not get the Olympics.

But this costume and the make up is everything...

I too, didn't get the dragon achievement after killing all the dragons. On my second play through it gave me the achievement after I killed the Fereldan Frostback (Go figure, considering that was dragon #11). This was the PS4 version. The game also didn't give me the "recruit 10 people to your inquisition"…
