How do you connect with the people you pet-sit for?

MOTHERLOVER I seriously just booked a holiday stay through Hotels.com and completely forgot to check if they were on Ebates. Crapola. But thank you for the reminder so I can use that in the future.

Pouring better is also, frustratingly, tied to how properly pressurized your lines are. That shit can get maddening.

My friend who’s not particularly into football let me drag her along to the USF-UConn game this year in Tampa (shut up, don’t you fucking judge me. I hadn’t seen that football game in six years, it was my birthday, and my husband bitched out on me because he fell ill). She asked what colors she needed to wear, asked…

Fucking hell.

Sous vide it to cook the meat tenderly, then fry it quickly for crispness. Your life will be changed.

Dude, the chub rub is real. I’ve definitely had to scrap a few pairs of shorts that swore they were for running because my thighs absolute devoured the inner shell.

I live in Tampa, one of the deadliest cities out there for both pedestrians and bicyclists. We’ve been trying to add more crosswalks with the bright-ass blinky lights to help, but it’s not been great progress. Some drivers absolutely blast through lit-up crosswalks (or at least want to and honk at me if I’m stopped…

Considering that manufacturers still crank out Hartford Whalers paraphernalia and all of us Northern-born folk will never let The Whale die in our hearts, I’d argue that this extends to championship gear and there are zero statutes of limitation.

We agreed long ago that whoever didn’t cook would be the one to clean up, and I definitely feel like husband has been…

Seriously, feed me all the lengua. And I’ll fight you for pig liver.

“Please note that Smee is a fat old guy with a bare midriff and bad sandals. He’s basically every Tampa resident.”

Well, now I have a plan for a dinner this week. Thank you!

Still-crunchy carrots? Yes please! I like my veggies to not feel sad and wilty in my mouth, thankyouverymuch.

Don’t let the haters get you down about durian. We can keep it for ourselves.

I, too, live in a house of laminate flooring. The only carpeting I have in my house is on my stairs because I don’t trust us humans (or my dumb-ass cats) to not slip and fall and die on laminate stairs. ALL HAIL THE ROOMBA.

No one would ever really call it a “rebound” because we got together about a year after each of us had split with out respective significant others, but we were still both very broken in our own ways from our previous and very long relationships. I sure did joke that he was my rebound, though. And in some ways, he…
