I went to my Dad’s barber through most of high-school. Once I got over the teenaged mortification of having my hair cut by the same person who cut my father’s hair, his barber gave me perfect pixie haircuts until I headed off to college. They cost us ~1/3 the price of the salons, which definitely added up to a savings…

Is it tacky and gross and so many other offensive things? Yes.

This one from Home Depot, which actually has no brand name (Sorry, Shane.) It is the “1-Spray 1.356 in. Showerhead in Chrome,” and will set you back for ~$5.00 if you go to the store.

It really is. You can cut back on the egg yolks if you want - I usually stop at 4 myself. This is about that incredibly garlicky broth. Opens your sinuses right the hell up.

This one is excellent.

Have you tried this soup? It’s garlic, eggs and cheese. YUM.

I KNOW. It’s like NBC Sports is saying, “How can we make our Olympic coverage even worse than it already is?”

Off topic here, but as the author of the original Mary Carillo Badminton rant articles, I thought you should know: it looks like Seacrest is taking her spot in Rio! Noooooooo!

My parents always said the rough rule-of-thumb of affordability when house shopping should be a house that costs between 2x-3x your annual income with that fixed-rate loan and a 20% down payment the article says is the baseline assumption. (If you’re expecting good professional/salary growth and aren’t planning on…

Which should be easy because she wasn’t in it.

I sometimes wonder if Jack Kent Cooke - from wherever he is in the afterlife - thinks “Maybe I should have just passed the team on to my son, after all.” (It should be noted, though, that the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation is a wonderful, wonderful thing.)

The Saints have a pretty dedicated following, and plenty of season tickets sold. The stadium they were in was falling apart, which was why they built a new stadium in downtown St. Paul.

Oh, double that actually.

Well, if you want a more cheerful promotion, the Saint Paul Saints last night had the World’s Largest Pillow Fight. Featuring Stephen Baldwin as Master of Ceremonies. (And because it was celebrating the 40th anniversary of SNL, Joe Piscopo singing the National Anthem as Frank Sinatra.)

I use a traditionally male name, as well. It was always fun when I showed up and people did the double-take. Or the “But you’re a girl/woman/chick/babe? But your work is so good!” My favorite is when I switched the name on my resume from my legal name - feminine - to the traditionally male name (which actually uses a…

Or, you know, just have it be a Wedding Shower and have the groom and male friends invited as well. My college roommate’s husband came to his shower nearly two decades ago now - this is not a novel concept.

I worked as an accessibility consultant - so I would tell people when they were building websites that they had to, you know, think about blind and deaf people as well.

It means a type of curl.

Yeah, the last deflation was equally as non-riveting.
