Yeah, I mean most American mothers are counseled to avoid peanut butter in case their kids are allergic, right? I think? I literally just consumed a giant spoonful of peanut butter and cannot fathom actually doing this.

My dog tried to jump through the drive through window at Burger King once. I felt so bad for the cashier and apologized profusely. She was not amused.

I brought up the “allergic to red” thing the other day among a group, totally making fun of the person that I read about on BCO, and was informed that it’s a thing! People are allergic to red dye. And also being allergic to “nightshade” vegetables, which lots happen to be red, is also a thing!

I can’t believe I’m defending one of these idiots, but I can *almost* see it if it was her very most favorite thing, and he was trying to surprise her but they couldn’t get there early enough. He seemed to be talked out of it relatively easily. No excuse for the Brooklyn thing though. Idiot.

A good friend is HIGHLY gluten intolerant. She can’t even have grilled meat at restaurants, because most of the time they flour the grill and she’ll react to that. I feel so bad for her when she’s trying to talk to the wait staff, and it’s because of idiots that say they “can’t have gluten” but then order a grilled…

My mom LOVES Eric and Kathy. Listens to them every day. Has long monologues to me, via phone, on how funny they are except sometimes Eric can be “really mean to Melissa”.

Today I was stung by a bee for the first time ever. It was while biking, through my bike shorts and on my inner thigh. With 28 miles to go.

My front teeth have bonding on them and so cannot be whitened. They are normal tooth colored, but i’ve always been very self conscious during group photos bc everyone else’s are soooo white.

Cetaphil makes some products that are very gentle on your skin. My bf has acne and uses it, as does my sister who is allergic to fragrance.

High life is my go-to “sports” beer. It’s hot and you are sweating and playing softball/volleyball/walking kind of/bocce ball? High life. It’s basically water. But then you become better at sports probably.

When my boyfriend’s mother refused to sing happy birthday to him because she was being a bitch, and refused to even taste the ice cream cake i bought him because it wasn’t “her” cake, I thought it was super rude. I did not go get a gun and shoot her. Nor did I shoot her with the nerf gun that I got for Christmas. I…

Same, except my story went more like giggled a lot in front of the bonfire then fell asleep.

Yesterday my mom was talking about how she couldn’t take my brother to restaurants until he was old enough to eat chips. I also remember her being absent when my sister was young, as she was outside with her until my dad was done eating.

I wonder though if there would be a legitimate case for a situation where someone would NEED to be face down on the stretcher, like a severe back wound. You wouldn’t want to make a rule that you could NEVER transport someone on their stomach. I got nothin’ for the hog-tie though. That’s ridiculous.

Seems like the radio silence is mostly just Jez; iO9 and Deadspin are still posting, if not as much as usual.

I’ll put that on the “someday” list, since I’m currently renting :) Good to know though! Hopefully in the future I’ll be in the market for a good fridge.

I WISH we could have chickens, but apartment living... sigh. Also I’m pretty sure my dog would eat said chickens.

Oh totally. And with condiments I’m pretty much at an “anything goes” as long as it’s not cream based. Oh, that hot sauce expired last month? Who cares that shit lasts forever.

way ahead of you. But thanks!

While it’s obviously extravagant and two year olds don’t need a paid personal trainer... in my mind they’re doing fun active stretchy things on bouncy balls and crawling and climbing, like gymboree for us kids from the suburbs. Kids these days (get off my lawn!) really don’t get enough exercise, and it’s probably…
