The shiny gold legs, oh my god the shiny gold legs. Perfect.
NOT WHEN I’M TRYING TO GET TO THE FUCKING LIQUOR STORE BEFORE NOON ON SUNDAY.
His brain is likely in mint condition... Seeing as he uses it so infrequently.
Making your meat Halal is just good business sense. Both Muslims and Jews can eat Halal meat (or Kosher in the alternative) and there is NO PHYSICAL DIFFERENCE from regular meat.
Ugh damnit I thought this was going to be about actually going to Tajikistan not some mommy blog crap what the hell
A gnome who chewed his own lips off.
Yep. The guy in the center who looks like Donny Osmond and Eric McCormack had a long-necked baby.
I found surprisingly little about this piece “clueless”. The author wrote about her love of traveling and her transition to not being as free to just up and go- none of it came out as a blatant disregard for her privilege. Your personal bitterness isn’t on her.
I just went travelling with some friends who have an 8 month old! We definitely all knew in advance things would be on baby’s schedule and safety level first, which was key for everyone to have a good time (there were 6 adults + baby.) I definitely agree that there is no need to let kids tie you to a life you don’t…
<shrug> Never wanted nor had kids, saved an assload of money for and done some neat shit that we don’t regret. If you have dreams, you need to see what to do to accomplish dreams, if that means not having kids until your mid 30s, there is nothing wrong with that. There is no law forcing you to hit 21 and start popping…
My parents couldn’t afford to travel anywhere except drives to middle-of-nowhere in nature until I was a teenager. Our first big trip was to DC when I was 13 (I am the oldest of four). I lost my fucking mind. I mean, I absolutely loved it. We went to NYC when I was 17 and my siblings were all teens, and again, it was…
“Would it be so much to ask for a partner that wants a normal life but would rather spend vacation time and money traveling in hostels in Tajikistan rather than all-inclusives in Mexico? Is the balance possible?”
who says you can’t travel with kids, though? It’s trickier to navigate because you have more than yourself to plan/pack for, but it’s not impossible. I don’t think I’ll ever sign up for this “having a spouse and kids keeps you rooted” thing.
I just keep thinking about a paint brush...I need to repaint my walls...
Work is an enabler!! They have a $0.25 cents soda machine!!
Agreed. The point isn't that you should end with these small changes. The point is that these small changes can get you started.
Even easier change. Stop eating at restaurants that are owned by large corporations. No McDonalds, no Arbys, No AppleBees, No Johnny Carinos. Find Mom and pops that you can observe the grill/kitchen. if they take a wad of meat and smash it into a patty, it's 100X better or you than the frozen puck of byproducts…
The reason most diets fail, is because you are forced to give up everything you are used to/love. A week, hell even a month later for the strong-willed, and they are back to their regular eating habits.
