Oooh I like Mary Roach! Stiff is on my list. I read “Bonk” which is about sex and thought it was soooo interesting.

so, I'm actually on vacation in Spain right now. And while I'm NOWHERE near your level of digestive horror, I am having some issues. Twice now, I have needed a restroom LIKE RIGHT NOW... and that particular restroom has not had any toilet paper. The first time I was really drunk so I was like, eh I didn't really like…

My sister is currently traveling in Europe. Her travel buddies pranked her by telling her that the lights for the hostel (the shared community shower) were clap-on.

Or Outlander!!

Agreed. GRRM built a world, and in this world, women are raped and are prostitutes. Is it a bit gratuitous on the show? Yes. But I would argue the imagery in the books is worse at times. The female characters in this show are fantastic, and I think GRRM does a nice job of showing that women have to achieve power in a…

My boyfriend is an impulsive shopper (i know) and if he wants something he just buys it, making him impossible to buy Christmas or birthday gifts for. However, I have been able to stop him from buying home-goods type things with the following phrase:

that was my takeaway too. That poor dog.

Unfortunately, that continues to happen outside of the restaurant industry. Calling in sick to the rehab company I used to work for as a therapist was a nightmare. You would get yelled at, told you HAD to come in on the weekend to make it up (nope, sorry not true) and then berated when you went back to work the next…

Peanut m&ms < peanut butter m&ms

I heard a radio interview with them and they were delightful. Completely different from the couple depicted on the show. They expressed how they would laugh and laugh at what the show turned Larry into. Real Larry =/= show Larry.

I do. They still get it wrong.

last weekend I did that and the cab driver, following his phone, dropped us off a mile away from where we should have been. I was chatting with my friend and didn't realize until we stepped out of the cab and pulled away. We yelled and waved our arms and he came back and drove us to where we were supposed to be, for…

it is cheaper, but the drivers never know where they're going. I almost always have to give turn-by-turn directions to an UberX driver. Including "drive west. No, the other way. This way is east."

Sort of off-topic: I just read "Through the Narrow Gate" which is a woman's journey about becoming a nun. It was so interesting! I tend to steer away from religion-centered books because I think they can get too preachy, which annoys me. But this one was not, and was fascinating to me. Just a quick recommendation from…

agreed <<takes bite of dougnut>>

isn't there a cult somewhere that doesn't eat, they subsist on sunlight (but not for long)?

anecdotal evidence ahead!

My bf and I were picking out a bottle of wine the other day, and instead of being helpful I just walked around going "Pinot Noir, candy bar, pinot noir, shooting star" etc.

oh god SAME. Not that I could afford it, but if someone else wants to foot the bill I'd be perfectly happy with a giant-ass wedding. But they'd also have to hire a wedding planner because fuck that shit.

I have repeatedly told my boyfriend I'd rather have a condo than a giant wedding.
