Older furniture is great quality. I love the “mid-century modern” title they’ve given to stuff that used to be what older relatives had, that we rolled our eyes at then, but, um, now we’re nostalgic.

Yep, this exactly. Why spend a bundle on a couch for a temporary living space? It may not fit in the next apartment, *and* you’ll have a large, heavy object to move. Thrift shops and Craigslist would be my suggestion, if you must have a large couch. I’ve found great furniture in excellent condition (not for $35, but…

The amount of damage is enormous. Men who watch porn are programmed into violent and degrading fantasies. It’s disgusting.

And it keeps them lonely and makes them angrier.

OMG, the opposite. The older roads in Europe are narrow and crowded. If people aren’t careful, nobody goes anywhere. Although, cf southern Italy, where roads are narrow and people aren’t particularly careful but they get where they are going by making it up as they go along. They also drive really small cars.

That’s how they know she is a witch.

And also, Fahrenheit is more precise. Celsius gets expressed with decimal places to be precise. Which is cumbersome.

Clinton actually won the popular vote, despite not being a great candidate. We need to do away with the electoral college. And gerrymandering. And voter suppression.

Memorize their shoes. Especially good if they wear weird shoes.

I would get, “I’m your father-in-law.”

I’m from an Italian-American family and an Italian-American neighborhood and I’ve never heard of lamb in the sauce. Beef and pork, yes. If it’s tasteless, it might be either cheap oil, lack of salt and seasonings or the lamb, which I disliked even before I became vegetarian.

Really? Where do you shop? A can of good tomatoes around here is $1 on sale, but a jar of good sauce is only $2.79 on sale. Even the organic sauce is only $3-4 a jar.

I agree, and it’s more the opposite, too, with the seasoning. Real Italian cooks don’t over-season. They put just the right amount so the flavors balance. Cinnamon=no. Oregano=tiny, tiny bit. Then people who don’t cook Italian food every day come along and want it reeking of garlic, which is fine if you eat Italian…

Yay, my grandma, too.

Ageist troll weighs in.

Just like anyone else. The last time I hit someone with my $400 glass purse, I... oh, wait. My purse was $25 at Target.

I heard somewhere that someone had died of a fire while sleeping because of a tiny spark deep inside the pillow that ignited. Have you ever tried to sleep with a potentially treacherous pillow under your head? I was forever listening for the crackle of flames.

Now I’m blushing.

In fact, steal them from the Chinese buffet where you ate the night before. They’ll probably keep overnight in your purse, and if you need an emergency snack during the day, you’re covered.

Hear hear. Although, I ask for the meat on the side and bring it home to the dog.
