So my choices are to believe either a U.S. intelligence report or scientists at Scripps, Tulane, University of Sydney, University of Edinburgh, and Columbia? 

I feel like a bunch of us knew that was messed up even back then and, when we pointed it out, we got accused of being shrill feminists and lesbians.

Counter to the idea that you marry their family, my spouse and I use a rule for dealing with in-laws that works so well for us that we think everyone should do it, ideally from day one.

I was fresh out of vinegar, so I used rubbing alcohol instead. Holy mother of god, it worked well. Clean the ring of grime off of my bathtub with almost zero effort. Never looking back. 

That is very damning. And yet I wish we had more granular data.

Yep. I got a newer version of this car in silver for significantly less. Its a fun drive, and I love that no one thinks my car is faster than theirs, but it is!

My dog gets diarrhea if she eats any pet food other than Royal Canin Sensitive Digestion. Seriously. 

No relation to the food company. I wondered the same thing.

My mom, a successful real estate investor, always says, you can always find a bad deal in a good market and a good deal in a bad market. I was losing hope that I would do the latter until recently. I just bought a house for $80k under ask in a market where homes at this price typically go $80k over ask. Here are the…

On behalf of the people who have sex with you, wear gloves so you don’t develop callouses! Or, if you have a committed partner, ask them if they prefer softer hands or calloused scratchy hands.

I am curious to what degree a fresh coat of paint or other easy fixes change an appraisal. I would have thought very little, as such fixes are obviously very cheap and easy. An appraiser would understand that.

It does, but any single cut is less likely to be contaminated than products like ground beef, a single serving of which is likely to come from many cows. Though, to be fair, more people eat rare steak than rare ground beef.

I feel the need to do a public service announcement that, contrary to popular understanding, it is rare for people to get toxoplasmosis from cats. Studies show that you have to have three indoor/outdoor kittens to have a noticeable increase in your odds of getting toxoplasmosis.

Pancakes! They already have those pancake making machines in hotels. Just monetize it for those of us not staying at a hotel. 

I agree. The result isn’t that their lips look naturally full. They look like they had an allergic reaction to a popsicle. 

I hate to say it, but he sounds cut out for politics. I work in politics, and I have to say that the higher the elected office, the more people are just like him. Not that I want it to be that way. At least he has no chance of winning the Mayor’s race.

I suspect there are lots of subtypes of “emotional crying.” I would love to see a list. I cry more than the 3.5 times per month women average, but it is rarely sadness crying, and yet people seem to associate crying and sadness the most. Mine is mostly releasing something. Like I calmly manage a crisis and then as…

Don’t be a tease! Give us some semi-specific hints.

My spouse and I were just marveling at the concept that some people don’t like leftovers. In our house, if there are leftovers, that is the first thing that gets eaten! Why? Because it is food that is already prepared!!!
