Ah, gotcha. I also think that in a pinch (not ideal, but possible) people could have shared and cut down the needed devices to 9...

How many personal CC devices would a typical large movie theater like this have on hand? I would think that it might make sense to have at least 20 if you have >10 screens, but I have no idea what theaters do in real life.

Not an especially famous song, but Hillbilly Casino’s “Violets in May” is a good one. Well, “good.” You know.

That guard/cop’s expressions are subtle but really entertaining.

The only standby that has been consistently good to my sensitive, rosacea-prone face. I have tried so many other recommended face washes from Cetaphil to unsustainably expensive (for my budget) brands, and this is the only thing that doesn’t leave my face hurting, red, and broken out. I long thought that maybe going…

This is exactly the content of my boyfriend’s fourth-grade creative writing report that he put in his school-approved time capsule, unearthed in 2012 after 25 years of gestation. Repeated references to the hood-mounted machine guns were a focal point.

I guess I view it sort of as shaving my legs when I want to wear shorts, or even just brushing my hair before going out. It’s far from necessary or particularly notable for a gyn appointment, but... I dunno, even though it doesn’t matter, it’s just that I know someone’s gonna be RIGHT THERE and why not. Certainly…

My old workplace was doing this last year, and they sent around the overall results in the company newsletter (probably over 10,000 employees involved). Only about 1/3 of the company caught it the first surprise time around, and by the third time it only increased to half the company. So yeah, a lot of people fell for…

Did you see that horrid line of traffic on 93S yesterday backed up all the way past 95? Goo. (Was due to someone rear-ending a school bus in the tunnel, btw. I feel so safe on these roads.)

He voiced Scar, if that’s a useful reference for you. Typecasting, eh? ;)

I’m with you there. The weirdest thing for me has been that the best thing I’ve found, and choose to stick with, is a Target-brand creamy cleanser. My skin looks and feels its absolute best with it, far moreso than with more expensive products. Every now and then I think “well maybe it could be even better?” and I…

Agreed, your comment wasn’t about any one person. The all-or-nothing tone of your original statement seems like something worth discussing, I guess. Clearly it’s a topic people have some strong feelings on!

The findings of a study are just some observations, hardly “tips.” I think any “tip” implication in this article has more to do with thinking about these things throughout a relationship, not helping to save a marriage that has already begun to tank. And it might not necessarily be about how to change either…

Both cities have similarly arranged pay/turnstile situations. Granted, not necessarily similar demographics.

Not sure how that was a direct response to the prior comment. However, I do notice just as many turnstile jumpers who appear Asian as any other group.

In Boston, commuting daily, I see it happen probably twice a week. Usually when I notice someone following on my heels as I come through a turnstile.

I once had something up with one boob (a big cyst, maybe a minor infection? It cleared up quick enough that I didn’t see a doctor) and it swelled up at least two cup sizes and goddamn did it hurt. Did not enjoy boob pain, do not recommend. I already don’t want kids, but that memory shuts up any ovary-clamoring that…

Yeah, I don’t for one second think she’s serious about the upset thoughts that have crossed her mind. She clearly says she knows that’s not right, even if it’s how she feels right now, and wants some advice. And if she wants so much contact in the first place, ain’t no way moms is going to go cold turkey during the…

Sure, it’s not a private bitching session, but it IS an anonymous advice column letter. I think an honest expression of her feelings is in line with receiving relevant and useful advice. Just about every advice column response that I see includes an parsing of which feelings are probably valid and which are not, and…

I felt the mention of not being moved to buy Christmas gifts was less a threat, and more an illustration of the distance and frustration/hurt she’s feeling. I think it’s fair to feel and vent that way sometimes if she feels unhappy with the child’s lack of reciprocation.
