I actually read an article about the study I imagine he’s referring to. They did find some positive correlation between condom-free sex and happiness in women, in a small study.

The article I read was careful to state that the researchers had no reason to believe it had anything to do with special properties of semen.…

We just got an instant pot for Christmas. So far it’s been used to make hard boiled eggs and a beef roast. The roast was fine. It was faster than a slow cooker or oven, but not as tasty. It lacked that maillard reaction thing. It was just softened beef, no nice caramelized crust like you’d get from an oven roast.

Last year, my cat had a sarcoma tumor near his shoulders. It was a subcutaneous lump and it wasn’t actually diagnosed as cancerous until it had been removed. I was told that sarcomas are rare and unlikely to recur, but when they do, it’s usually in the same place.

Yes, this. The mix of cards and cash is so much worse than 9 separate credit cards. I can run 9 credit cards in a minute, no problem. It takes way longer if three of those people put cash in the mix. 

I might have a poor opinion of Crossfit, (I do, I know so many people who’ve gotten hurt doing crossfit) but I’d say Crossfit is one of the worst things to get into after you’ve been injured. The competitiveness, the WOD thing, it’s all just not very good for people who are tending to injuries. Even a really nice box…

Minimalist shoes are the reason I was able to finally do a half marathon. I was a competitive cross country runner in high school but always got hurt when I started training for longer miles. I’d been put in stability shoes by running store employees the whole time because I “overpronate.”

It’s okay! I’m not good at streaking either. I tried the Thanksgiving to New Years challenge (you run at least a mile every day for the whole holiday season) and it actually made me hate running. I thought it would be a good way to stay motivated during the cold/food/drink season, but it did the opposite. I started…

McSweeneys is a satire site.

It’s semi clever, but I’m still horrified that the goddamn sitting president is tweeting memes making fun of senators.

Yes, I know it’s not unusual behavior for Donnie, but we should never stop being horrified. 

Some friends and I made an extremely silly, loosely scripted comedy show in college. We had about ten “episodes,” they’re on Funny or Die, and my one friend who is still weirdly proud of it likes to post links to them and tag us on Facebook about once a year, so they would not be easy to bury. Abundant evidence of me…

Congrats on new kitty! I too have a kitty companion, and booze is about the only thing I can count on him to not try to steal from me. My water and any kind of food, on the other hand...

Anything to make cleaning more enjoyable, for sure. I also recently spent an extra dollar or two to get a dish brush with a mechanism that spins when you press it into a glass, so it creates a cool brush and suds tornado. Almost makes doing dishes fun, worth every penny.

I often work New Year’s Day, so I have a quiet night in. I buy myself a bottle of something bubbly and a small shrimp cocktail tray, and watch When Harry Met Sally due to significant plot points happening on New Years. It’s a lovely time.

This year I’m married, though, so we’ll see how that affects things. He doesn’t…

I tend to “splurge” on personal care items. I use toothpaste every day, so it should be a flavor I like, and it should feel good. See also, spending the extra dollar or two for the toothbrush with the rubber gum massagers. Those things feel GREAT and it’s not like it’s a single use item. That brush and I will be…

Get yourself a 2 liter of sprite and prep ingredients for a BLT, and you’ll be doing yourself a favor. Make the whole pound of bacon in the oven, which makes it nice and flat for sandwiches.

Here’s a lifehack for you; stop projecting your issues onto others. 

This is definitely for if you’re having a party, right? Or I guess, a bartender? Because 750 ml of liquor you’re supposed to use within three days is kind of a lot. And I say this as someone who definitely drinks more than the CDC recommended intake for women. 

I absolutely adore Nike Training Club for bodyweight fitness routines. If I get out of the habit of working out and start feeling doughy, they are my first line of defense. My butt quite literally gets back in shape fast. I’m incredulous that it’s free, sometimes.

I don’t like their yoga sessions. I tried a few and…

Is...there actually a quiz? Am I completely blind and missing the link? 

Having not heard the song before, and having a favorable opinion of Gaga, this article made me want to like it.
