I love the garlic shrimp dish (the one swimming in a slightly red peppery butter sauce). Sopping that up with a hunk of bread and I’m satisfied with my time on this earth.

The one issue I have with this article is that Newark has amazing food. The Ironbound district has an incredible area of Portuguese restaurants and people come from all over to eat there. Even talking about it is making me hungry for the deliciousness.

The funny thing is that mine mine is such a sensitive little princess that I have to apologize to her after she has gotten herself kicked (again!). She runs away and looks at me with this ‘how could you betray me’ expression. It just kills me. Clearly I work for them.

Question—how do you use it? I also have very long hair and and I’d be up for some sort of masque but don’t want a pillow full of oil or to die by slipping in she shower.

My Kiehl’s multi-corrective cream and I feel the exact same way. I just plunked down $68 dollars for a small tub last week. Sigh. It is difficult being this vain.

My kitty runs around the apartment trying to lick my legs after I’ve applied coconut oil. It tickles but I am mostly afraid I will accidentally kick her (it has happened before).

I take heart that my city was ruined by Russian and Chinese billionaires and finance bros at the tier just below that a number of years ago.

If you can fit it in your purse you're golden.

Porn is generally designed for and is much more popular with men. Check out Don Jon, a fun movie that explores the issue .

I agree with you. It’s hard to put in quantifiable terms but I suspect these extreme religious types are using exterior structures to repress aspects of themselves with which they are deeply uncomfortable; religion works beautifully for that. That’s also why they need a hell and an imposed set of restrictions as a…

So hungry!

Often the buttons don’t work. Regardless, how about the drivers who have to listen to repetitive asinine crap all day? I’ve been a pretty regular taxi user for 15 years and I can tell you that I’d never once felt my experience would be improved by having bad TV forced down my throat. Due to the shrinking sizes of…

I'm afraid so.

Exactly. I was thinking this seems like an excellent way to get a lung fungus.

I've both experienced loss and had friends whose loved ones have died and I just cannot imagine how much self respect a person who ghosts at a time like that loses for him/her self. Who would want to be someone so fundamentally shitty?

Well, the still horrible news is that they may have gotten terrible infections from cuts. Coral is not something you want to be messing around with for your own good, in addition to the fact it’s ancient beautiful watery fairyland which can be destroyed by idiots like those.

I think it’s worth doing once, though it’s not really a fun way to spend a 10 day holiday (really 12 days). It’s amazing to see what you observe in yourself once you stop having so much sensory input. Eventually it’s pretty magical and you learn a lot about who you are vs. what you just absorbed from the outside, but…

Is this true no matter how old you are? My uncle retired from the air force after a gazillion years and I would be shocked if he could run for a mile and a half.

I’ve gone on two 10-day vipassana silent meditation retreats (the technique is purported to be the original teaching of Buddha) and normally there were three teachers up at the front of the room. Always, always, the male teachers came in first and the female teachers followed. When they left the room the male teachers…

Jesus, I hope a car fell on him.
