The rear dome light button was next to the parking brake on my Saab 900. Once, I had a long freeway trip at night and the rear dome light was on and I couldn’t find the button to turn it off! So I solved the problem by using the sticky underside of a maxi pad to stick it to the dome light and block the light enough…

Also, slight correction - it’s not that people “don’t” get the message, it’s that they don’t want to.

Life can be miserable enough without adding these into it.

Seriously reconsidering the plan to get pregnant. Thanks. 

My mom uses julienned beets from a can as a short cut (just make sure they aren’t pickled). And a whole carton of buttermilk instead of sour cream. And grates the cucumber for some reason, which I like. Therefore that is how I make it. Each bowl is hardly any calories, so I have to eat a ton if I am hungry.

I really wish someone would make a cook book of meals that take 1 minute or less to make. And create no or almost no dishes to clean.

The premise of Hannibal Burgess’ joke is that we already know Cosby is a rapist. It was basically, Bill Cosby thinks he can tell black folks to pull their pants up because he had a successful TV show in the ‘80s and therefore has the higher moral ground as a leader, but because Cosby is a rapist he obviously has no…

My question for trail runners is always, how many times have you had a poop emergency on a run? But what I really want to know is what do other people do? I have never pooped my pants on a run (so far), but I have had two very close calls.

I find it hard to get as much exercise on a bike as on a run. The biking leg of a triathlon is considered the “recovery” leg for a reason. Its not as taxing as swimming or running. 

I am among the 30% of migraine sufferers for whom Botox is an extremely effective treatment. Instead of 2-4 migraines per month that each last 20-24 hours, I get 0-1 mini migraines (about 10% as bad as a migraine, and something I can work through, rather than going to a dark and quiet place) once every three months.

Yes, but not just for one game. Until the rule is changed. 

I find, as a woman, I am allowed to express boundaries, but if someone ignores that, I have to enforce them so extremely politely that often people don’t get the message. If I reiterate the boundary or state it slightly less politely (no where near rudely), I am then punished for being rude and unlikeable. So I end up…

My family used to complain that I ruin photos by blinking so often. They also pressure me to smile “with teeth” rather than my preferred closed lip smile. One day, my best friend observed this, told my family to shush and said, “smile however you want!” Boom. Like that, I stopped blinking in photos because my smile…

Neither of my parents were into cars. However, helping my mom fix up houses made me want to be more self-reliant with my own car, so I learned to work on that. Then, after driving my mom’s old station wagon for too long, I realized that I valued driving fun cars. No one else in my family gives one hoot about cars. 

Can we crowdsource a new term other than Trans Exclusive Radical Feminist? She’s more than excluding them; she’s actively hostile, as are the others. And she isn’t even a feminist, let alone a radical one, like the rest of the so-called TERFs. I get he history of the term, but I feel like we either need to come up…

Thanks for writing this. I haven’t been able to decide whether to buy a freezer.

How do you bring a live fish on in less than 3.4 oz of liquid? Unless there is a liquid limit exception for live fish.

Focus on making others feel good and valued. Not in a manipulative way. Really try to see who they are and what makes them likeable and good. You’ll have friends, good relationships, and your coworkers will like you making work a better day to day experience as well as increasing your odds of being successful…

I had thought of moving in together as an interim step before potentially getting married. I was surprised that when I married my spouse, it felt inconsequential compared to moving in together. I might have waited longer to move in if I had realized what a big step it was for us.

Yes, and confident people don’t need others to agree that they are good. Arrogant people can’t tolerate it if others don’t agree that they are good.
