I used to eat a lot of that stuff when I was younger and single because it was easy and I hate to cook just for myself. Now that I’ve been a vegetarian longer and I’m usually cooking for a family it’s a lot less common for me to use fake meat.

I really wanted to get something for my mom but it’s all so fugly.

Cummings is my representative and I was pretty pleased with him yesterday.

That sounds amazing :)

Havarti is frequently flavored with dill (and one of my personal faves).

I knew I’d seen it on a TV show but you know, tv =/= real. I just looked it up though and they can. http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclop…

I thought judges didn’t have to accept plea deals. They usually do of course but if ever there was a time to not something like this would be it.

One of my friends commented on Facebook recently that she really wishes more people knew about the spoon theory so that sometimes she could just say “I’m running out of spoons.” Since then I’ve been bringing it up whenever an opportunity presents itself.

I remember those! My mom is a huge Rosie fan so she was a little sad that my siblings and I were too old for them (by about 10 years).

I’ve thought about this a lot lately as we’re considering permanent birth control now that we’ve completed our family. Would I want to have more kids if something horrible happened and we lost all of ours? I think that I wouldn’t, that I would rather accelerate my current plan which is to become a foster parent after…

Yeah, that’s why he’s been careful to point out all the places where he’s to the left of Clinton politically. She’s such a centrist and Bernie is doing so well that it seems like her best move is a VP who is more liberal and can help energize those voters. It’s not going to be Bernie so O’Malley is attempting to…

That’s actually why I specifically mentioned it and added the link. Ever since I friend mentioned a few weeks ago how much easier it would be if she could just tell people “I ran out of spoons” I’ve been mentioning it whenever the opportunity presents itself.

Plus Rosie has spoken openly of her own battle with depression. I think she may well push to be “on” when she’s in public and uses up her “spoons” that way. I’m not saying that’s the right or best choice but it doesn’t make her a phony person either. http://www.butyoudontlooksick.com/articles/writt…

I didn’t either. I saw it first on facebook so the image was a lot smaller and it wasn’t until a good bit in that I was like “Wait, is that a guy?”

Well, they won’t let you do it if you’re current on your mortgage so you have to be willing to stop paying and the whole thing will danage your credit. It’ll probably take a few months of that to get their attention. None of the people I’ve known who went that direction have been actually unable to pay their mortgage,…

That’s exactly what’s happening on our 2 street townhouse community. We’ve had 2 foreclosures this year, one house that sold super cheap (and was bought by some idiot who’s trying to do a quick flip) and this week another neighbor passed away so I expect his house to go really cheaply as well. We’re fine because we…

Yeah, my mom would be happier with a smaller house but she doesn’t want to give up her backyard.

Have you considered doing a deed in lieu? That’s what my friends finally did and it was such a relief. http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclop…

It’s still cycling. Here in MD a lot of the foreclosures are just being finalized now because apparently we have one of the longest foreclosure processes. We were hoping to be able to get a new appraisal to get rid of our mortgage insurance and then one of the houses on the street got foreclosed and another one sold…

Yeah, the fact that it’s a guy in drag is immaterial to the joke. Plus, he’s not doing anything particularly feminine for laughs, he’s doing an imitation of a very particular stock character in advertising.
