A thirty something invited over a teenager to have a high school cafeteria style fight?

My mother buys horrible toilet paper because she is cheap and says people use too much of the nice kind.

Yeah, assuming that somehow they weren’t going through an eviction proceeding that just happened to be resolved as the media showed up, there are all kinds of rules about the landlord entering your apartment, nevermind strangers with cameras. I believe there are also laws about your stuff and the proper storage of it.

Oh yes. I couldn’t breastfeed my son, and between the bottles, the pump parts, and the not having a dishwasher, it was nonstop washing up. I also had a series of things go wrong or badly I blame for the situation that hopefully won’t happen again because it was terrible.

I’ve read that in the UK, it’s normal to do both theater and sports in school, but here in the US, we force boys to choose (and then question their sexuality) as an explanation of why we have so few young American male actors with real acting chops. It does make a certain amount of sense.

I think I made that recipe too! It was so good and so much easier than the Martha Stewart one I did the past few years.

I think about doing one from scratch every year, but then I think about everything else I have to do and back away from the sugar pumpkin. Good for you.

I’m sure McCain really appreciated New Jersey’s votes in June, well after he had the nomination locked up. It won’t matter if a “moderate” candidate could theoretically get a large number of delegates from certain states if that candidate can’t maintain a functional campaign long enough to get to those primaries…

I used to race on a sailboat with my dad when I was in my early teens. He once told me I needed to lose 15 pounds before the season started so the boat would go faster.

I thought you were trolling, but it’s true.

I love Nathan Lane, and this makes me want to watch The Birdcage.

I really don’t believe I’d like a Walmart pie as much or more than one I could make myself. Grocery store crust in particular is never as good as mine. It’s probably all hype.

My favorite vegetarian replacement recipe is portobello cheese steaks with onion and broccolini. It’s a modification of a recipe from the America’s Test Kitchen vegetarian cookbook, which is a pretty great book.

True, but it seems it wasn’t possible to seriously consider it as an option just because of the benefits, which is the problem.

That’s fascinating. I’ve only known a couple families who had babies die of SIDS, and I think one of the babies did have known hearing issues.

It also sounds like a problem with our healthcare system that she couldn’t leave her job because she was the one with the benefits.

I strongly suspect they’d be too sweet for me, and I also avoid Walmart. This is making me consider making my own for Thanksgiving though.

My husband’s boss would be horrified if he got a gift. Gifting up is wrong.

Yeah, but that’s why you wouldn’t order toast at a restaurant if you were celiac. Them stocking gluten free bread at all is a win.

When I was in 8th grade, my best friend was copying math homework answers out of the back of the book. We sat next to each other in the back corner of the classroom, and as I was telling her with tremendous earnestness that she was only hurting herself, I burst into tears, drawing attention from the entire room.
