This was one of the first things I did. The ones that were left were Terrible. An easy fix that made me feel much better about the perceived level of cleanliness in the bathrooms.

Happened to me during a trip to Red Rocks. I didn’t have prescription sunglasses at the time, and though I wore a hat, it was just so very bright that day. By the time the sun went down and our concert was getting started, my eyes were in agony. I thought I’d just gotten sunscreen in my eyes, but no, I scorched them.…

THIS. Working at a grocery store for only about a year, this was the biggest source of parking lot accidents. Don’t cut across the parking spaces, people.

Excited to try this one. I’m not a huge JJ fan in general, but the Chicken Caesar Wrap was a favorite of mine last year, and I’ve never opened a promotional email with more glee.

Regardless of the law or your building’s rules, if you’re going to grill, please please please be aware of the air intakes around the building.

Right? If the waffle plates were modified to be further apart to allow for some laminated puff in the middle, I think it would work better.

2006, it was prom night, and the crew and I were in our formalwear, headed to dinner in a town 30 minutes over before we would cruise back to the actual event. We had my friend’s mid 2000's Taurus with five people, and the only couple in the group in a borrowed ‘69 Camaro. Our friend had picked up the car earlier that…

As I dislike bits in my drinks, I wonder if you could sacrifice a couple of splashes of your seltzer or some flat alcohol to let down the jelly/jam and dissolve it a little better before topping up with the remainder of your seltzer.

I get that it’s not for everyone, but I was introduced to this years ago, and still employ it when I am faced with a cupcake with too much frosting and do not have the benefit of a plate and fork.

Whoppers and Robin’s Eggs are made at the Hershey factory in my hometown, and you always knew when it was Whopper day by the scent in the air. I got to take a tour when I was young, and I’ll tell you that the malted milk area did NOT smell good on the inside. Fun fact, if you’ve ever gotten a Whopper that was really…

Salted butter is what I have, and salted butter is what I use. Nothing I make is delicate enough to be thrown off by a bit more salt, and often, that means that I just won’t add more salt later on. Why buy two different butters?

My family’s recipe is similar to this, except that you make it six months ahead of time, douse it thoroughly with cream sherry or rum and THEN put it into the fridge, unwrapping and resoaking once a month until it’s time to serve. A thin layer of marzipan is optional, and in my opinion, unnecessary.

Shockingly inefficient to the point of being impressive. 10/10 no notes, and I rescind my previous statement.

Is...is pizza not already a delicious hand-held treat?

These “extreme behaviors” are extremely common. Every woman or femme-presenting person has to do the math on every single interaction with a man. As far as we’re concerned, every man is Schrodinger’s rapist, because they have proved themselves so. 1 in 6 women in the US has experienced sexual assault. When these…

I’ve sent texts to the wrong person by doing this exact thing, though luckily, none of them have been damning in any way. If someone else is texting while I’m composing a text, and I go to swipe away the notification, sometimes it moves to that text window instead.  In fact, as this was happening, I knew exactly what…

I’m decidedly pro-brunch, but my whole life tends to reinforce my personal “treat yourself” ethic. Brunch every week is unheard of, but a special week, a lazy Sunday, a vacation treat? Lovely. I don’t tend to go hard on the alcohol, so that’s just me, but a sparkling treat to go with my chicken and waffles? Indulgent.…

As a fuckin nerd, I really enjoyed Henry being like, listen, I’m a fuckin nerd, but I’m not THAT type of fuckin nerd, okay? Haha

A rental car of any variety, but especially something particularly nondescript. I would just assume that I’m getting murdered.

Aside from telling my students to try to not care when people say mean things, I also tell them that the bullying rarely has anything to do with them. Kids who exhibit bullying behaviors are trying to make themselves feel powerful by putting other kids down, whether they’re just mean or they’re trying to overcome some…
