If you are shipping directly to the recipient, there’s nothing you can do, you are completely screwed. Even if you pay for gift wrap and the fancy envelope with the gift receipt that says “open this second, don’t spoil the surprise,” Amazon will still print the package contents on the shipping label itself.

I once convinced my mother to watch Delicatessen by telling her it was a romantic comedy. Which isn’t exactly untrue.

It was my first-ever Alien franchise movie, which I watched (in theaters!) only because Jeunet was attached. I thought it was completely fine, and didn’t understand the disdain.

Hmm, OK, I can see this applying when you’re not picky about the class of car you’re driving, since this is a supply issue and not one of demand (ie, desirability). Definitely wouldn’t want to trade down to a less-desirable car, but one that is simply more available? Sure.

Watching this back-to-back with Dark City was always fun.

Now that you say this I can’t unsee it.

Isn’t that true at any time, though? If your car is in high demand, sell it and get a cheaper car.

You tried this exact same reasoning a few weeks ago with your article on buying out your lease. Same problem: It has to be a surplus car or you lose all profit when you go to buy a replacement. So it’s not “especially if you don’t need one right now,” it’s only if you don’t.

I followed the link for the $30 outdoor rug and it’s $72. Unless that referred to the out-of-stock 2'x3' size, which is minuscule (and unavailable).

Just reading the title, my thoughts were: “Poop and water.”

Seriously, though, stir spoons are awesome, but why is she selling barware?

I’m never precisely sure where to fold/stick the labels, so I just fill them out and let the postal clerk affix everything (correctly).

She and Rosie O’Donnell had bit parts and they were both clearly having the time of their lives. What a silly reason to back out.

How is she free? She still has a personal conservator and a new financial conservator will be appointed. Getting her dad out is a positive step, for sure, but it’s not over yet.

My monitored burglar alarm went off once while I was at work. I told the service to call the cops and I headed to my house. When I arrived 30 minutes later, the cops had still not arrived but the service told me not to go inside myself until they had. After two hours, I said fuck it, if they’re still in there maybe…

Scrolled down to make this same comment. Mine gets used in homemade Irish cream most often, but Vietnamese iced coffee with chicory (listed in the slides) is a strong second choice.

I was once traveling internationally as a student and due to a missed leg of the return trip, ended up stuck overnight at LaGuardia with a red-eye home in the morning, no hotel room (or money for one), and all my bags with me, since the check-in desk didn’t open until 3am.

Starring because it’s accurate, not because I’m happy about it…

Here’s my list:

If he died “a few months ago” following a “lengthy” hospital stay, would he even have been eligible for a vaccine before he fell ill?
