I remember being completely ostracized by my family when I was a young teen and asked if I could go vegetarian.

THIS. I went semi-vegetarian because I do not like the idea of thinking that I MUST eat meat/animal products with every meal, especially given how animals are treated. ...As for the die-hard declared “carnivores,” I would invite them to kill/prep a rabbit for their dinner. I had to do it for survival training and…
When I passed through Incheon Airport (Korea) on my way to Japan, I found a Croque Monsieur sandwich at Starbucks. They heated it up, handed it to me in a wax-paper wrapper...and OMG!!! That was sooooo delish!! I loved that sandwich so much that I was actively looking forward to the return flight so that I could get…
Sadly, I had this same conversation with a long-time male friend of mine. He told me that I am [paraphrasing] “past my prime because I am over 30, set in my ways (WTF?!?), had too much baggage (uhh, no?), and unable to have as many kids.” Nevermind the fact that he is the same age, balding, and severely Republican…
I have had it happen multiple times on airplanes. It has taken all of my restraint to not stab the guys that spread into my territory.
I want to apply this to my job so badly. A level-50 air traffic controller would be able to let a level-2 trainee get within __ miles/minutes/seconds of an unsafe situation before tactfully correcting it without the pilots realizing that their lives were in imminent danger. This is a step up from level-49...where the…
I purchased a new fridge last year and watched as my younger brother took a bagful of ancient condiment packets and emptied it into a vegetable drawer. I assume he did it to claim the spot as “eternal packet storage,” but I lost my s*** and threw out 95% of the packets.
If someone is really worried about the “healthy isn’t filling” belief, I will invite them over for one of my green smoothies. 70%+ veggies and will leave you a stuffed balloon of a person for several hours until it digests.
I do not care how good these desserts are, they cannot make me endure a trip to Wal-Mart.
Urban Outfitters has defended their use of the word Navajo by saying it was a generic descriptor and even compared it to the term “light beer.”
My very Republican Dad likes to fuss at me for being a “LIBERAL” [you have to say it dripping with loathing], but gets humorously irate when I point out that I am a heathen, minority, breeding-age female...and pretty much all of those point to “anything but Republican.”
Messing it up while learning is half the fun!
Regional diet is an important thing to consider. I learned the hard way (both literally AND figuratively) when I went to Japan on vacation and could not crap for a week due to a sheer lack of fiber.
Having lived in Mississippi for awhile, it is a treat on the rare occasions that it snows. People start running out of their houses to gawk at the heavens as if Jesus himself was descending. Vehicles start wrecking left and right with just a dusting of snow (not enough to actually make the road slick, IMO). Kids start…
Every male within arm’s reach of me can vouch for the cold, icy touch of my hands—as chilling as Death itself (or so they claim/whine).
I believe that is the “problem” that Japan and Korea are currently fretting over. Women are getting educated, entering the workforce, and deciding that marriage/child-rearing isn’t worth it. Culturally, the men are still of the mindset that women need to manage the house, which is not helping the situation.
Ditto. Heck, they have even tried to delay me for no reason. United did some really crappy things to me as a college student before there was a Passenger Bill of Rights. (My 18-year-old self “fondly” recalls bumming a ride from a middle-aged stranger—who had offered rides/boarding overnight to myself and two other…
I recently booked with Korean Air to fly me to Japan and back...I paid more because Korean Air has much better food/service/seating than US-based airlines.
I came to this revelation in the middle of my house-wide decluttering frenzy. All of my unitasker items collected dust because I have better tools in my kitchen that can do the job just as good, with significantly less cleaning.
