I feel sorry for anyone sleeping on the jarred sauce from Michael’s of Brooklyn.  Leaves all others in the dust, imho.

Same. I'm 5'4, my husband is 5'11.  It's the perfect differential.  When I was dating I just asked for a dude to be my height or taller. I didn't think that was a huge thing.  Dated guys of various heights - and honestly it was personality and kindness and humor that mattered the most.

As an Italian-American, I hope these groups getting ripped off by the mayosapiens are planning to fight loud and hard.  It’s too late for so much of what passes as “Italian” food, but I hope they’re more successful.

100000% Freaked me the f out as a kid, and even my dad (who laughed at horror movies on the regular) called that episode “pretty messed up”

I have never, ever, ever gone wrong with “How are you feeling?”.   That way, the pregnant person has the opportunity to bitch, gush, or change the subject with a simple “fine” and move on.  

Happened to a friend of mine.

THANK YOU. I always thought it was hideous, and I always got an argument.

A few definitely come to mind:

The greatest ever was seeing Dreamgirls in a sold-out Ziegfeld Theater in NYC (RIP, I loved that theater so much). The audience was full of people who were excited to see the film, and the energy was contagious. There was an honest-to-goodness standing ovation for “And I Am Telling You”…

The 21-Season Salute. Its brilliant in salad dressing, on meat, on fish. I haven’t been able to get near TJs and I’m nearly out.  Also their steak and ale pies are amazing.

The cigarette thing is brand new - I hadn’t realized they changed the age to 21. Rental cars vary by provider. But the legal age of majority as far as the courts are concerned (i.e. legal adulthood) is 18, not 21. 18 is the age that people in foster care age out - whether that’s morally right or wrong isn’t up for…

A 19-year-old can legally buy cigarettes, rent a car, vote, and join the military. (All potentially dangerous things for the wrong person, but that’s just as true for a 40-year-old as a 19-year-old.). I’m not comfortable with the narrative that seems to be emerging that everyone under the age of 30 is a helpless…

I feel like people tend to conflate the novel with the Kubrick film, too. 

I also recommend the Dark Chocolate Hazelnut and the Honey Almond flavors of Tony’s if you can track them down.  All amazing. 

To date, I’ve donated close to $100 for Jaime, mostly because I hate Lindsey Graham’s stupid ass.  Also because he seems like a decent, smart human and we need more of those on the planet, let alone in the Senate.  

(Also close to that for Amy McGrath, running to unseat Moscow Mitch - be sure to also throw her some…

They always, always turn.  Especially if you out-funny the head goon. 

1000%, and something my dear husband, who claims that he’s Irish and does not NEED an umbrella have constantly fought about.  Sure, you can endure in a drizzle, but they’re predicting a monsoon.  

My thing is that I want to spend all of my time on vacation doing shit I’ve never done before. Hunting down a drugstore because someone didn’t want to bother packing deodorant? Nope. (Forgetting it is one thing, we’ve all done that - but not bothering to pack it because you could just pick some up there? Wasteful of…

“have you ever noticed that the same people who give over-packers shit are inevitably the same ones who forget their toothpaste and need to borrow yours?”

MY ENTIRE LIFE.  I get mocked for everything I bring, but goddamn if everyone isn’t begging for my sunscreen or makeup wipes or whatever the hell else. 

THAT is a tour I would love to see. 

I agree, and I say this as a survivor.  Some of this just doesn’t add up.
