I love that someone can conceive of a way to create leather goods that doesn’t seriously harm the animal. It goes to show that we can create all kinds of fantasies to accommodate our desires. (I say this as someone who is very sad that animals are harmed to make leather goods and steaks but not so sad as to not…

I had a falling out with my best friend of 17 years about 5 years ago. We were inseparable and she’s in almost every memory I have; it’s like someone burned down my archives. It was harder than any breakup I’ve ever had.

I gotta say that it bums me out that so many of these stories have “poor people!” as the punchline.

How is that not charging more? It’s not like they need to just meet an aggregate cost - the law requires that each user pays only what it costs to provide them with the service.

I couldn’t hang with the splint and would take it out a few hours into every night so my dentist just makes me invisalign pieces that I chew through every 9 months (and then she makes a new one).

Not the way it’s written right now. A public utility has prices fixed at the cost of the service. So it can’t make changes up or down.

The idea for a new system is that every household would have a per-person allocation of water at the base rate and that use over that base rate costs more. So it’s effectively a tax on use that exceeds what’s typical or expected. And places that have done this say that some users will knowingly continue to overuse,…

Unfortunately, current state law prohibits public utilities from charging any more than it costs to provide their service. Which, out of context, is a good law. But I know that people are working to change it for exactly this reason.

I spice my coffee with an equal parts mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and pepper. It’s so good!

It’s adorable and really funny! (I have to admit my bias that these are actually friends of mine. But I’m sure that I would love the movie anyway. My grandma loved it!)

Ravi Patel!

I once told a boss that while I appreciated the feedback, it was very discouraging and made me feel like I wasn’t a valued member of a team. Honesty really is best sometimes.

You can’t even dyke right!

I love the Chanel sunscreen. It’s expensive but I’ve spent whole days out in the Southern California sun without any problems. It also doesn’t irritate my super sensitive skin.

FYI, I saw Kerry Washington at Sephora last week.

My college boyfriend’s dad insisted that I call him “Doctor [Name]” and once we got comfortable, he decided that I could call him “Doc.”

Then why did they use the bathroom at the back of the plane?

I just couldn’t accept that a Real Housewives producer would be sitting in economy.

Best Man Holiday is a fucking fantastic movie.

Get some Nippies!!
