A few years ago, I unknowingly tried to pay for breakfast with a counterfeit $10 (that I assume I got as change at the bar the night before). The cashier said, this is fake (which upon ANY examination was true. It was probably the world’s shittiest fake). I was shocked but handed him other (presumably real) money and…

It’s 100% worth the cost if you are someone who has trouble sleeping. I’ve had it for at least 2 years and I still haven’t gotten through 50% of the stories. The celebrity ones are mostly just to get clicks and articles (seems like it’s working), most are done by professional voice actors (shout out to my main man…

Not a dumb question at all. I own a boat (not a pontoon boat) and that was the first question I had. For most boats, without a ladder it would be pretty difficult for a child to get himself out of the water without help. 

You know what’s weird? When this all came out, you didn’t see a Thin Chalk Line of teachers standing behind her. I wonder if that’s because you can belong to a union and support your fellow union members and still be horrified when someone within your ranks commits a crime. So weird. 

Yeah I was sort of hesitant to call it a true protest, but didn’t know what else to call it. A community building event? White liberal bullshit?

My parents are/were big hippies so I’ve been going to protests since before I could crawl. The first one I can remember is doing Hands Across America, which absolutely terrified me because I was a super shy kid and my parents forced me to hold a stranger’s hand. I would have been about 4 at the time.

It’s illegal to smoke (anything) in any park (but people do it all the time). 

If you’re treating a low, frosting is not THAT weird. The person I know who has diabetes usually carries around a juice box or glucose tabs but it’s really up to the individual’s preference (and what they know they can be convinced to take if they are low and confused/combative). It seems a little weird, but the…

That doesn’t seem fair. The point of the story was not the husband, so maybe she didn’t go into detail on how she’s being supportive of him.

My mom is also in CT and her salon is going to have the workers do a temperature check before the customer sits down AND the customer also has to bring their own thermometer and take their temp before they can come in. And an hour between appointments. (plus everyone in masks). Still way to scary for me even if I was…

Tell me more about this Amazon bra please. I’m currently at my in-laws house (they go to FL for the winter) but they called yesterday to tell us they are thinking of coming home next month so my no-bra-at-all days are numbered. I’m not ready to go back to underwire life.

About 15 years ago, I went on a trip with friends to Ft Lauderdale, FL. We were in our early 20s, so already traveling pretty cheaply, but when they suggested we get breakfast at Denny’s, I drew the line. Lo, how I came to regret that. I suggested a really cute, tiny “dinner” on a pier overlooking the beach and ocean.

That’s exactly what I was going to say about the gas.

Wait, so do they have to live together during the quarantine for PR? I mean, I get that it’s probably not THAT hard when you have a giant house, but still, it seems like it would suck (again, relatively) to be stuck at a stranger’s house for literally months on end.

A few weeks ago, my husband and I were on vacation in the USVI. It was our last day and we found out that our flight was delayed so we hung around by the ferry dock to get a bite to eat rather than rush to the tiny airport to just sit there. What we didn’t realize was that we had been on the last ferry of the day, so…

At the beginning of your story, my eyes went wide, because I have a very similar story — except in my case, I was in Germany and the guy was genuinely trying to be nice and I screamed at him not to bother me, and he carried it anyway and then just walked away.

My father-in-law is supposed to be getting married in June to the woman he’s been dating for 10+ years now. They were high school sweethearts who broke up when he went to college (60+ years ago). Each married someone else, had kids and full lives, and only reconnected after both became widows. They waited this long to…

Same. Even if I did see it coming after Tuesday. It’s just so damn deflating.

You’re not alone. I’m in the same boat. I honestly don’t know how I will vote if it still matters by the time they get to my state. Either way, I’m holding my nose (and wearing my Warren pin)

Interesting. I’ve never thought to Febreze my pillows -- does it kill germs or just make it smell better? Genuinely asking because I don’t use the stuff (both my husband and my dog have severe allergies so we try not to use anything with a scent).
