My apartment neighbors would go to their patio for a late night smoke and a chat. That meant that we a.) got their 2nd hand smoke and b.) were gifted with their brilliant late night, drug-fueled repartee.

This one is election related. Our HOA has an extremely unenforceable rule of no political signs. They even sent out an email basically saying, hey we can’t really enforce it but let’s just not be assholes to each other during the election. So I had a guy in my neighborhood pop up a trump sign and a couple of other…

Still trying to understand why eating Tide Pods is a “thing.”

Traveling for work, using my travel card to get points, and getting points from the rental that roll into the loyalty program of my choosing? Hell yeah I’m checking the box for an extra $40-50. The fact that I don’t have to stop and fill up is just icing on the cake.

Every single damn time... except when I know I’ll be driving less than 50 miles.  Other than that give me the freedom to return the vehicle without having to stop on the way to the airport in a sometimes sketchy neighborhood.

Counterpoint - if you’re renting for work, definitely prepay for the tank. I’m already busy with work travel, the last thing I need is to find a gas station when I’m ready to leave.

Bleh. Exterior looks like a gussied up, gaudy Lincoln with extra chrome for no reason and the interior is trying way too hard. This is what Mercedes thinks of us?

Step 1. Turn the channel to something else.

I was on a flight from LA to New York on JetBlue. I was seated in the aisle, and next to me was a 400lb mentally disadvantaged woman with her caretaker. She was in the middle, the caretaker was up against the window. Once the flight lifted off, they each had a mission they intended to diligently pursue. The…

By brother drives a dually because he works construction and hauls heavy equipment. You know what else? He can park that bastard perfectly between the white lines in a parking lot. I was with him when he parked and we both mocked all the big SUVs and lifted bro-trucks who were taking up two spaces or out in the lane…

I don’t care if they recline back to the point where they are curled up in my lap. Just don’t do disgusting shit like take off your shoes, change baby diapers in the main cabin (on the tray, no less!), or clip nails.

This seems like the most sensible way to do it. If you run a budget and your expenses are above your income (or exactly equal, leaving no room to save), then you need to cut down expenses if you can’t increase your income. Cutting down on things like housing or transportation would have a bigger impact, but those are…

Personal responsibility is basically its own reward.

I don’t do those things, either. I live simply, cook and clean for myself. That meant that I could easily afford to take a year off work for my mental health and still have more savings than the average person

It’s true that while no advice can be universally applied, some of these things are probably true for most people. Take the coffee example. In my experience, the people in my office who visit Starbucks every day are the same people who never bring a lunch. I think people who spend on small luxuries like that are more…

Also, despite carrots lifespan, I have never ever managed to work my way through a 5lb bag of them. So I usually buy organic in order to buy fewer.

Damnit, the bunny legs actually got me all excited. I was like “Woah pump the breaks, where can I get these?” then they were ripped away.

Just because someone calls themselves a sex therapist does not mean their opinions and conclusions are all correct.  She may be very good at knowing about vaginas and straight men.  I would hazard a bet that she’s never treated any gay men as a sex therapist - we seek out qualified gay providers because we get tired…

And you’re naivete doesn’t make it any less wrong.  As a member of the gay community, I think I know more about what my community discusses, focuses on and does and I can spot bullshit when I read it.  You need only peruse any ONE gay magazine, website or online app and you’ll see in five minutes that her conclusion…
