I like to make something similar in the winter using hot lemon tea instead of lemon juice

My punchline is threefold:

That works to a certain extent but I know several people who manage little free libraries (almost none of them are managed by cities, but actually by a nearby person) and they have to spend a lot of time weeding out books that sit in the box for years because no one wants them. Books like that end up in the recycling…

I’m not surprised that Lyft knows nothing about DC after receiving this email last week

Also check out your local library book sales (anything from a big yearly sale to a small shelf in the back). They will have lots of books for very cheap prices, and will often have classics that people have donated to the library. My local library has paperbacks for 10 cents and hardbacks for 25 cents.

Thanks for this! #3 is a huge problem that I have and #4 is one of my biggest pet peeves.

The real lesson here is to always call someone out when they cut in front of you, and if they ask if they can cut, say no.

I figured out that a cake’s icing was purple when I looked at myself in the mirror and the lower half of my face had purple splotches on it.

A lot of foods that are “black” (like black icing) are actually very dark purple. And I’m fine with that.

Thousands of other libraries have it as well. And if your library doesn’t, you can ask them to get it.

This is good advice but I don’t understand what it has to do with back-to-school shopping? How does minimizing the amount of mementos that you save from the school year prevent your kids from running wild in the school supply section at Target?

Plus if the bus breaks down you can just get off it, as opposed to being stuck underground.

That’s CRAZY, that would be like if Scott Weinger and Linda Larkin didn’t actually do any singing in the animated Aladdin and the singing actors were almost completely uncredited.

As a Northern Virginian, I have to say that someone refusing to move to from VA to MD, or vice versa, is the realest thing that has ever happened on any reality show ever.

that sounds wonderful

If you live in a house with stairs, get a vacuum for upstairs and a vacuum for downstairs

I don’t know if this is true everywhere, but both of my grandparents donated their bodies to their alma mater’s medical school and once the medical school was done they cremated the remains and returned them to our family. So my grandparents got to donate to science/education but for the family it’s like they got…
