We’re staying in Europe for a few months and have a washer but no dryer (typical here). At first I was worried, but the washer is small, so the loads are small and easy to hang. We have a rack similar to the Cresnel stainless steel one above, but it has two more “wings” that fold out to the sides. I’m amazed at how…

My heart breaks for this young man’s final indignity of being known now as “the sister” of the shooter. He sounds like he was a nice person. Thanks to the writer for a sensitive piece here about a sensitive subject.
I fly Southwest if I can, mainly because of their no-change-fee policies. Of course, the two-bags-fly-free policy is a huge benefit, too.
They exist for me to search for the flight or room I want, then I go directly to the airline or hotel site and book it myself there.
Safest way to run in the dark? Have a penis.
I no longer eat at restaurants that make people wait in the “seat of shame” for their dining companions. Enough places don’t have this policy that I’d just as soon eat there instead.
We use “Echo” for our wake word because we were afraid there might be conflicts if we talked about anyone name Alexa. We don’t know anyone named Alexa, mind you. But my niece just had a baby—AKA the cutest baby in the world—and named her Echo. So we trigger our Amazon cylinder all the time. I guess it’s time to change…
I put peanut butter in my carrot soup (also honey) and it’s delicious. I bet it would be great in pumpkin pie.
Sounds pretty exciting, but the best way to cool off is to take a tepid shower. A cold shower just makes your body want to warm itself up, but a tepid shower, a little below body temperature, will cool you down perfectly.
Another good reason to register with the STEP Program: My husband’s wallet was pickpocketed on the Athens metro, but was recovered somehow by the Metro police and forwarded to the US Embassy. The embassy knew his email address to get in contact with him to arrange to have it and its contents (driver’s license, library…
I haven’t watched him since, and I was a big fan. Just the site of Fallon disgusts me now. I’m sorry about his 300 employees, but he should have thought of them and the rest of the country before doing that interview at all.
I guess I’m the only one who wants to say that there’s no such thing as a tip that’s too high. What’s another dollar or two for a person who is working hard for a living—at your table or behind a counter?
“When you’re used to privilege, equality feels like oppression.”
It’s Amazon Logistics. I’d say about 25% of my orders here in Northern Virginia come via AMZL US. They are contracted drivers with their own vehicles and no set routes; there’s no way to know when it will be delivered and they don’t have access to our onsite package lockers. It’s a terrible system and I might slow my…
I had a great time visiting schools with my kids, giving us a good dose of alone time. But I’ll tell you this: Wherever your kid spends the night first is where he or she is going to want to go. They don’t realize it’s the experience they’re falling in love with; they think it’s the school itself.
My daughter did the same in the city: Got her associate’s degree at BMCC, then transferred to Hunter, another CUNY school. The degree from BMCC allowed her to skip over lots at Hunter. And no one went into debt. Smartest decision she’s made so far.
I’d love to have the Amazon packages I do order end up on my doorstep. Since we moved to a limited-access apartment building, the only delivery service that can’t seem to get me my stuff is Amazon’s own.
May I suggest that if you put your spices in matching containers and label them, you put the label on the container and not the lid. “Uh oh. I opened oregano and marjoram and now I don’t know which lid goes on which!”
My dad, in his grandpa days, wandered into the kitchen, to take a look, at our local Friendly’s restaurant after a family breakfast celebrating one of his grandkids’ birthday. As management shooed him out, he bellowed, “Nothing but microwaves in there! No grill in sight!”
