If I was this man's wife, I would be sooooooooooo pissed off right about now.

As someone who is lactose intolerant (admittedly, not an allergy), I would like to ask that those tasked with writing menu descriptions actually include *all* of the items in a dish (I'm looking at you, gastropubs in a major Midwest city). I will not altogether infrequently run across a menu item that reads as if it…

Yes!!! I get so much grief from certain friends because I let my boys' hair grow out instead of keeping it short. First, their hair is gorgeous. Second, they don't like it short. Curly/natural hair =/= hot mess!

No you did not. I live in Chicago. I have never had to show anything more than my voter id. Most of the time, I just give them my name, and scrawl my signature in the book.
