The “don’t get snatched” thing was so real.  I once turned down a ride to school from my aunt because I was walking with a friend and thought “well, she’s *my* aunt, but she’s a stranger to my friend, so STRANGER DANGER”

We do kind of a “state of the union” at our anniversary dinner every year.  Talk about highlights from the past year and also touch on struggles and goals and how we plan to grow as people and as a pair.  It helps set the tone for the coming year.  It sounds a little clinical, I guess, but it’s actually really nice. …

Grilled cheese from a Foreman Grill is perfect because the edges get sealed and it’s like a gooey pocket of cheese inside.  My roommate and I went through a lot of those.

I live in Florida, and this is absolutely the right take on DeSantis and the pandemic.

I’m not from Pittsburgh/Youngstown, and didn’t want a cookie table, but was overridden.  All I wanted was a tiered white cake with raspberry filling!

At my MIL’s insistence, we had a cookie table at our wedding.  There were 2000+ cookies for 175 people - chocolate crinkles, pizzelles, galettes, sugar cookies, chocolate chip cookies... Virtually no one ate the wedding cake.

Off Menu.  British comedians James Acaster and Ed Gamble have guests on to discuss their dream meal.

I was once a juror in a case involving State Farm, and they spent nearly half a million dollars to avoid paying out less than $100k to a woman because she had a pre-existing condition, which to them meant that any injuries from her car being rear-ended were not eligible for coverage.  They made it seem like she was…

There is, in fact, a Radio Shack still operating in Orlando.

I love this idea. There were times in college when I had less than $10 to feed myself for the week, and Kroger’s deep discounts on things that had to go that day really saved me.  Bakery bread, milk, and meat were all included, but I would have loved being able to buy past-prime or slightly dented fruits and veggies,…

I’ve seen enough drunken antics out of the dads and uncles in mine and my husband’s families to know I didn’t want alcohol at my wedding.  We did a champagne toast, I’m sure some people snuck beers in the parking lot, and a small group went to a bar after the reception (and my husband’s extended family kept a whole…

Postmates has had it for at least a year, too.  

10 years ago in a mid-size city at a restaurant with an average ticket of about $15 (family friendly, dressed up Applebee’s type place), I took home an average of $10 an hour after tipping out the hosts and bartenders.

Another benefit is that it makes it easier to reach your financial and lifestyle goals as a couple if your money is working together (retirement plans, vacation, house upgrade, etc.).

Just here to say that my Publix has both Jewish staples and British snacks in the “ethnic” aisle.  This confuses and delights me.

Nice, thanks! I’m definitely getting a Become the Monster bag!

I’m seeing them on November 7th! I’ll be sure to take non-flash photography to help fight the power.

This is what I don’t get - if the hot dogs were in the break room at the hospital, it’s not like they were *his*, either.  Why did he give a shit if she wanted a hot dog when someone else already said she could have one?

I grew up in the 330 and I get jojos EVERY time I go home.  I feel bad for people who think they are “just potato wedges”.  They’ll never know the joy of a plate of jojos and some sour cream.

Waitressing as a fresh-faced, naive 20 year old is how I learned not to take shit from anybody, the value of budgeting (you might be flush with cash after the holidays, but January will be dead), and how to read people, for better or worse. I also made some life-long friends and had some of the best times of my life. …
