In 1976, I started being bussed from my neighborhood elementary school to a predominately black school. My neighborhood school was on a tree-lined parkway, with neighborhood streets around it, houses, grass and trees everywhere, and two large parks within 4 blocks of the school. The school I was bussed to was on a 3

This isn’t weird, but my doctor basically shrugged when I asked her and I’m suspicious that all the miracle devices online are snake oil. Is there effective treatment available for bunions?

Trump ran on the anxiety that “the rest of the world is laughing at us.” Well, if they weren’t before, they are now. This administration is a joke.

I’ve driven in a lot of rush hour traffic, pre-game traffic, and post-game traffic and yesterday’s traffic (I was in the red blob in Wyoming), while dense, wasn’t “hellish”. In four hours on I-25 I didn’t see one accident. My personal suspicion was that the eclipse had the sporting event vibe (“Go Moon!”) but without

And no, we don’t “all” agree this went too far. We all agree that this didn’t go nearly far enough. Right wing fascists terrorized a town that followed a methodical and careful process. We can expect them to do that over and over again if removals are careful. Better to take them all down now. McNeel Marble can

I’m not sure why his being bi should be scandalous.

Absolutely valid points and I can see why you’d go to Omar Mateen this week. But I think a better comparison is John Allen Muhammed. Although all three men shared a history of domestic violence.

I’ve been at the “a $100 emergency would break me” point — and then have had those emergencies. The alternator dying on my car, for example. I think for me one of the mental barriers between where I was and having an emergency fund was that I needed two kinds of savings. I needed annual/periodic expense savings and I

I’ve chosen between “traditionally female” jobs and non-traditional jobs at several points in my life and have picked the less traditional ones. This has the unfortunate effect of making my resume look like I’m a career-hopper when all of my jobs have been about writing computer code and analyzing data, but many of

I just looked up these — Bite Fuel Peanut Butter Protein Cookies — and here’s the ultimate warning (per serving):
6 grams of fat
6 grams of sugar
6 grams of protein

For me, the “restful” thing about a vacation is the chance to think about something different from normal life. So taking time off to binge watch a tv show I enjoy doesn’t really feel like a vacation. But this summer I did have a successful one: I visited special exhibits at museums — and splurged on the docent tour.

I’m guessing you had a similar experience to mine. I was in Costa Rica and enjoyed powered milk for the first time in my life. Turned out Klim, the brand we were using, is a whole-fat milk powder whereas what I was used to getting was skim milk powder. I switched to Nido, Nestlé’s whole fat US brand and I can usually

The “gag” tip does work for photos though. (As does strategic tape.)

I didn’t intend to do either. I said I learned how little of our salt consumption is iodized when I was diagnosed with thyroid disease. Iodized salt is a long-standing public health intervention which we are accidentally circumventing by transferring our sodium intake to non-iodized sources.
