Just wait until you move someplace that doesn't have Fios yet! We were so so so sad to have to give ours up. But it gets worse... we also don't have TimeWarner Cable in our new neighborhood, and our building management won't let us put up a dish. So we are forced into the dreaded Optimum, which is so terrible I…

I do leafy greens with vermouth, a bit of butter, olive oil, and the thai chili paste in the tiny jar. So much yum. After reading this thread, I think I'm going to have Kale for dinner tonight instead of ordering sushi like I was originally planning.
Cheaper and healthier!

I agree too. The character Nick describes himself as having "Doucheface" and I think that's as accurate description of Bradley Cooper as ever there was. But I'm OK with Affleck, and I'm OK with Rosamund Pike because I think she is just so so so pretty that I will watch her in anything!
(Although I would have loved to…

I love old-man names for little kids! I want to name any potential future boy Frederick too! (But nicknamed Teddy as in the Emily books by LM Montgomery). Also because my dad would think it was hilarious to have a grandson named Fred. In our house growing up, if you wanted to shift blame for something naughty, you'd…

YES. This happened once when my boyfriend's parents were visiting — the resulting clot/trail/stain was on the shower curtain - which his mom had bought him before we met. I was in the bathroom for like 45 minutes with the shower curtain half pulled off the rail, trying to rinse out the blood in the bathtub faucet.…

The tricky thing about Christine Quinn is that a lot of voters (me included) would like to support her, but she's always been in Mayor Bloomberg's pocket and basically forced the city council to push through the term limit changes that allowed him to run for a 3rd term, in order to gain his favor (and presumably, his…

I loved Radar the magazine. I placed some ads in their debut issue for the company I used to work for and got invited to their launch party at the Dream hotel. There were a lot of 2nd tier celebrities there and I got an awesome goodie bag. Dang, I miss good Radar.

She's also a very bossy person in general — which is actually sometimes a great quality in a friend — we are in the same field and she convinced me to quit a dead-end job and make a change, for example. But I also realized we are just total opposites in our dating strategies. She met her husband in a crowded bar by…

To the first one, yeah, let it go — just focus on being a good friend, and listen instead of talking. I have one friend who is a few years older than me and thought she "knew best" — she set me up with guy after guy (some of whom I genuinely liked). And guy after guy dumped me — they were often too young or too old…

I met my BF of 2 years at work — we still work together. It's great. And as Dear Prudence once said, if people weren't ever allowed to date their coworkers, the human race would die out. We work in a huge corporation and there have been 2 marriages within the last year between people who work in the same department.…

This has nothing to do with Amazon (they will sell anything) and everything to do with the fact that they've partnered with the studio who produces the TV shows — Warner Bros. The dictate is coming from them.

That happened to me too. I used to eat Fage every day, and then started to get really bad tummy aches. I stopped eating it for like 3 years and only recently started again. I haven't had any problems this time around, but I also buy a big reclosable container and just eat a couple of scoops in a sitting, instead of…

Siggi's is wonderful! And if you live in the NY Metro area, it's technically a "local" product as well. It's my favorite. Even Duane Reade carries it now!

It's still on Broadway and I imagine it will be touring. I just saw it a month ago, it's really wonderful. There's a working pub on the stage and they serve drinks up there during intermission!

This casting is perfect.

My BF was having MS-like symptoms and was prescribed Gabapentin to help with pain at bedtime—but read about the side-effects and got super-freaked out so never took it. He's already on Lamotrigine so he didn't really need another anti-convulsive. Luckily the tests came back with no pathology for MS and his flare-ups…

Yeah, how is it possible that TWO idiots wrote basically the same dumbass comment about a guy spiking a girl's drink with Plan B? Really?

FYI, fellow Atwood-lover...I believe she has a new book coming out this fall. I can't wait!

Yup, my mom taught in a school with a very low income (and homeless) population and she regularly brought laundry detergent over to several students' homes over the years (and lice shampoo, sadly, the same kids would get afflicted over and over again, and then be sent home from school once again). For those families,…

Interesting. My boyfriend and I are the process of buying an apartment together (it just makes financial sense, because, as Jessica wrote a few weeks ago, paying rent in NYC is like throwing money into a hole, pooping on it, and then lighting it on fire). But it's been a bit of a nightmare that we're not at least…
