I’ve been using Hue 1.0 for some time now, because the “upgrade” did away with custom scenes. I have one lamp with three bulbs that I had operating as a scene, and the 2.0 didn’t allow that option without controlling the entire room. Without being at home I can’t connect to my bridge to see if they’ve given me that…

It sucks when the person you’re interested isn’t interested in you. This guy should cease contact altogether; they aren’t even “just friends.” A friendship is when one person can talk to the other about all facets of his or her life, and something tells me CCS doesn’t want to hear about his friends’ romantic escapades…

It might be worth it to try Goldschlager. Back in my boozy waitress days, we’d do a shot that was Bailey’s and Goldschlager, and it tasted like a slightly spicy oatmeal cookie. I can see it working with Frosty flavor, too.

I finally have a full-time job, and they take my 401k contribution from my check. There’s no company match, though. I like the convenience and the pre-tax of it all, but is this still the best route for me?

This is me. I’m a horrible long-term planner. Whenever someone asks me about where I see myself in X amount of years, I go dumb. I get the big things done: save for retirement, keep myself in shape, etc. But in the day to day, I just make every day as good as I can, and I figure the cumulative effect of that will be…

I wish more store’s would have store-branded debit cards like Target. They can track away my purchases all they want; I get 5% off and free shipping online.

When was the last time you got a free month for complaining? I’ve stopped having success, and have heard others say they don’t get anything when packages aren’t on time anymore.

I’ve tried the Whole Foods brand (it occasionally goes on sale), which was recommended to me by a friend with poo problems. I did notice a difference in that respect, but couldn’t keep up with the suggested dosage (3x/day).

He did lots of campaigning with Killer Mike, which I found even stranger. 

Oh man, did you choose “Emmylou,” the sweetest song ever?

There’s a movie with Paul Rudd and Steve Coogan playing boyfriends. I never knew how much I’d love that.

The errors in this are so bad, they’re disrespectful. I think the icing on the typo cake is when the victim’s name autocorrects to “Lesion” at the start of a graf.

I’m usually cool with your advice, but not this time. I think you should have at least one successful back-and-forth before seeking a date. And pick a date, time and place without my input? Yuck. I’m looking to have equality in my modern-day relationship, so it should probably start off that way.

This is so important! I learned it the hard way. After decades of unmanageable thick, curly hair, I finally found my soulstylist. She understood what I wanted instantly. But she got let go from her salon after a few years with no forwarding info, and I had to settle for someone far inferior. I looked high and low, and…

Yep. I mostly use third-party requests (Harmony, Hue), so I wonder if I just haven’t asked anything of her that merely merits a beep. Honestly, I don’t need an “okay” after I ask her to turn off my lights, though.

Alexa told me about brief mode this weekend, and I enthusiastically opted in. I’ve heard no pleasant tones since then; she’s still “okay”ing me. Not cool! I’ve been wanting her to quiet down ever since I got her.

Yeah, I just call that “walking in Brooklyn.” Welcome to the club, Amber.

I travel like I live my week-to-week: I cook most of my meals in my hotel or apartment (I always get a place with a kitchen) and buy a meal out every two days or so. Otherwise at the end of every trip I feel like hell (I have no willpower when it comes to restaurant food), and I spend a lot of time thinking about my…

Nope. But when I saw my gateway (scrambled) porn growing up, it was before the era of facials and choking out. Their sexual reference points are already going to be askew, because the porn I see now (which is probably the same free stuff they have access to) is pretty hateful to women.

I was just having a conversation about this at brunch last weekend. Given that we have such awful sex ed, and kids can see so much more than the scrambled-cable porn I got as a kid...do they even know what real, healthy sex is? Some of the things the boys (in particular) said in that article made me so sad.
