I’m on the fence about Arizona. You see I’m from Florida, so that’s my baseline level of crazy and I can’t handle anymore crazy than that. Tell me if I’m completely off base though.

I’ve been there, but in terms of affordability, I always thought it the midwest version of NYC prices, if that makes sense.

Someone already recommended it, but I wanted to second the crock pot. Set it and forget it. What I’ve been doing lately is taking super generic recipes and adding a little something extra. And there are a ton of recipes to make. My personal favorite is an enchilada bake with quinoa.

I visited in 2013 and I’m itching to go back. I really liked it, it’s beautiful.

Hi Jezzies, I’m looking to finally move off the east coast and I’m cool going any where in the US. Anyone have cities to recommend I look into. I’ve been thinking Denver, but I hear it’s starting to get expensive. And Atlanta’s always on my radar because the fam lives there-but it’s on the east coast so I’m not…

I just saw it! It’s on Amazon Prime if you have an account.

Thank you! I’m trying to go into my next appointment as informed as possible, so this helps out a lot.

No worries. I’m just trying to get an idea of with LARC is better, IUD or implant. I’m trying to do some research online, but I prefer to hear from actual people about their experiences, so if you can give me any input I’d appreciate it.

I’ve never been on food stamps, but my first food desert experience was when I was at Temple for a summer in Philadelphia. They had just built the grocery on the edge of campus and I was shocked that the college and surrounding neighborhood didn’t have a local grocery store. In fact, I’m guessing the only reason they…

I was flying with a friend once and she did this, only she laid down horizontally across the floor of 3 seats. It was the two of us in that row, so I put my legs up on the seats and she took the floor. Fine with me.

Don’t forget, you actually need a decent supermarket near you to have those options period. If you live in a food desert and don’t have transportation, you’re shit out of luck.

THIS. The area I used to teach in had just put in a Food Lion when I got there and it was the only grocery store around for miles. Many of my children were from the neighborhood and their parents didn’t have cars and public transit sucks. To this day, I still can’t figure out how the parents were able to finagle…

Do you mind answering a BC related question?

I’m getting mine for free. The only thing is now I can only get it one month at a time instead of the 3 month supply I used to get.

I used to teach in a downtown area and I’m just imagining how my students and my coworkers would react to this if it happened to us... I can’t imagining trying to leave school and police in riot gear telling me that I can’t go home. I’m wondering if the school district will say anything about it, but it’s been 2 days…

There’s also this article on Mother Jones*: http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/…

Pres. Mickey Mouse is busy right now ma’am. He has a lunch date with First Lady Minnie. Can I take a message?

I’ve loved this song ever since I heard it in Beverly Hills Cop.

Vanity or Apollonia?

There are no words to describe how awesome this movie is. It was also one of the few times I saw a black middle class family that looked like mine on screen. I had just started middle school when it came out and my older cousin let me watch it on her brand new DVD player. Monica was my hero, especially since I was…
