I can’t tell you how many “nice guys” that even their women friends swear by are complete assholes with women they are interested in sexually. A married woman friend of mine set up a “great guy” friend of her husband’s with a single friend of hers. Luckily, it was a double date or they wouldn’t have believed what an…

This is horrible. Did you report it to anyone?

I agree. Talk first. Otherwise, I say no, even if the bartender is going to make the drink right then. Unless the dude is buying drinks for everyone.

Someone needs to say this: Guys need to stay in or at least near their own league. Approaching women who outclass you by a factor of ten is not the way to go. Beautiful women are surrounded by creeps all the time and get way too much attention from unattractive men. If you’re ungroomed or have bad teeth or are a slob,…

I knew someone would say something like that.

And carrying heavy packages.

Fresh bones are way cheaper. Squick factor is about equal, in my experience, but YMMV.

And added engine-clogging ethanol.

It’s the combination of sugar and other refined carbs and too much fat, not to mention tons of unnecessary pharmaceuticals. People eat a huge amount of meat. People eat huge helpings of pasta and bread and ice cream. Americans like everything super-sweet and can’t seem to understand the idea of moderation, instead…

I’m not sure why anyone would want to give a packaged bone to a dog when they could give a fresh one from the butcher’s. Even the supermarket carries them.

Five bucks says my loser of an ex-boyfriend will move back from Florida for the month for this. Yes, he has become... Florida Man.

Most expensive: My espresso machine. You can pry it out of my cold, dead hands. Much as I love any kind of good coffee, espresso rocks my world.

If I knew what I was going to crave, I would just keep it in the house instead of having to start baking something/firing up the ice cream maker/looking for the corkscrew at midnight.

He does realize that there are no countries where women aren’t afraid, right?

The Times’ target audience isn’t white people. It’s affluent to rich white people with sheltered lives. These articles, along with articles about people of color, refugees, drug addicts, working people, and other others, are designed to educate the largely clueless, largely unconcerned, largely white wealthy…

Cranberry cubes and vodka, twist of orange, seltzer optional. Cranberry cubes, Cynar and gin, twist of lemon. Cranberry cubes, Coke and rum... Need I go on?

Or, like me, grow them and eat them so fast, there is nothing to can...

I use stickers. My bag is black, like 95% of the others, so it’s a big help.

Getting drunk and passing out works for me. In fact, the older I get, the more I understand why my dad and uncles always did that. The women sit in the kitchen passing judgment (sometimes merciful, but not always) and having another slice of pie, and the men are on the couches and in the armchairs snoring.

This sounds a little like Italian Thanksgiving, but the macaroni and cheese is a 8" deep roasting pan of lasagna served with meatballs, sausages and bracciole (“gravy meat”) all in tomato sauce (“gravy”), and nobody hides the booze. The only difference between the aunts (“ants”) and uncles is that the aunts claim they…
