I still group my items on the conveyer belt. At the very least, grouping cold items together will help to prevent one refrigerated item ending up in a bag with something else. As a former bagger and cashier, I always always grouped like with like. I know that not everyone will do that, but if they’re experienced, they…

Forgiving $50,000 (or more) of student loan debt across the board would be the biggest economic stimulus package for 25-45 year olds that could ever happen. We were guaranteed that getting those loans would help us get better jobs, and so we would be able to pay them off easily. Well that isn’t and wasn’t really ever t…

WELL SAID

My very first car was a $500 junker of a ‘92 Cavalier. I got it for my 16th birthday along with an aftermarket stereo and the oppressively tacky faux tiger fur seat covers I had picked out. I loved them both so much. Even when I upgraded past that phase, I’ve always had a soft spot for over the top seat covers.

Illinoisan here. This is stupid, and is only around to appease all the people downstate here who keep trying to sue the governor for “messing with small business”. I won’t be back inside a restaurant until like. 2024.

Hey, so I love this? Thank you for bringing this to us, as I don’t get Motor Trend and didn’t even know this show existed. I’ve been more and more hands on with my car, though I don’t have the means or space to do big repairs on my own. Next goal, getting a place with a garage! Haha.

My mom was a Janis Joplin devotee, so I knew this one before I knew Twinkle Twinkle. Haha.

Unfortunately, all the data points to higher rates of heart disease, high blood pressure, and other health issues exacerbated by smoking in Black folks anyway, all due to structural racism and its effects on public health, obviously. I absolutely loathe smoking of all kinds (mainly because my mom (white) has been…

Thanks for the feature, two slideshows in a row! Haha.

A reliable phone mount and a windshield cover. I don’t have covered parking, and that $10 windshield cover has saved my sanity more than once in the winter. Maybe I’ll upgrade to a full car cover for next winter and make it even easier!

I keep seasonal bucket lists, and let me tell you, my spring list is FULL, but I’ll keep it to just the travel/car ones.

Love to see my city represented in the blogs. Haha. No, if you want Arby’s, there are at least two other locations within easy driving distance, and two? more if you want a bit of a cruise. I’d imagine all the branches are taking a hit, though. A reputation for norovirus isn’t a great one.

My biggest one was in the summer of 2011. I had my trusty 2004 Taurus, and that thing was just a tank. Point it in a direction and it went. Ice, snow? No problem.

I know that one of my online friends is a Cutco person now, but I have systematically and thoroughly rejected any product that even whiffs of MLM that no one will even mention them to me. When Sorted reviewed a DoTerra essential oil a couple of weeks ago, I was in their comments immediately. (Props to them, they took…

I disagree about the younger generation. Just like when people say that racism is just going to die out with the boomers, it’s just not true. Sexism is alive and well, and assault and harassment happens just as much with young men than with old. Sexism and toxic masculinity are structural and reinforced at every level…

I’ve got to have some way to listen to music from my phone. I didn’t have even an aux cord until I got my 2008 Fit, and I could never go back. I’ve never had a vehicle with Bluetooth, so I’m looking forward to that for the next one.

My grandfather was an 80's era Cadillac enthusiast, so there will never be another kind of land yacht for me. Sinking into the plush velour of an ‘86 Eldo. That was luxury. Haha.

Yeah. I used to park in a municipal parking garage with all of the cops and firefighters, and me, in my 2008 Honda Fit, had trouble maneuvering around all of these giant ass trucks parked in two spots and stuck out way into the middle of the middle lane.  I don’t know how any of them actually got in and out of that…

Turkey is all fine and good in our family, but the noodles are the one irreplaceable part of the Thanksgiving table. Thin egg noodles made with the turkey drippings, broth, and lots and butter.
