Not everyone in the new economy has a job that pays well enough to shell out hundreds of dollars just to have their friends over (depending on group size and booze). Half of my friends are well into their twenties and thirties and just scraping by... Although I do agree they should have done at least the main item at…

Way back in the 80s, my exceedingly socially correct mom was a member of a 'gourmet' club. Basically, fancy potluck. I also very much enjoyed the times we hosted Bridge Night, because we got the fancy snacks that were left over.

I got an offer like that for the guy and his 'girlfriend'. Yeaaaaah no.

As a long time Buffy fan, I am genuinely sad to see that Brendan fell off the wagon... I hope he's able to pick himself back up after this.

And not a great 'done-together' couple ^_~ (blah blah don't work on projects your spouse is passionate about if they are unaware they're bad at it, something something).

We were living with his parents at the time and had also lived together for four years, so it wasn't a big deal. In fact he sent me off to hang out with my out of town sisters and went home.

"you never really know how a woman got her job." - Maybe I'm just really unworldly, but I have never assumed a woman got a job by what this implies (sexual favors). I believe I may have skirted the 'work wife' situation myself once, but that's another odd comment I would never break out in an interview. So weird, and…

The ears are wrong. His barely have lobes, she has pretty clear lobes. #nolobesuffererhere

This may have been covered, but I'm not reading nearly 400 comments to find out (sorry, I'm lazy and it's late). Urine is not sterile. http://arstechnica.com/science/2014/0…

What the hell is a Jimmy John's?

They called me once for a 'survey', and the first question was something along the lines of 'Don't you agree that R-Rated movies are bad and should not exist?' (paraphrased). I responded that I like a lot of R-Rated movies and my parents let me watch some of them underage because they knew I understood the difference…

Definitely not. You guys have your own brand of crazy ^_~

Reproductive Labor... man, if I still had the necessary biology, I'd be renting it out for 40k/year, so 'entitled' wealthy could have the Good Feels (TM) about their In-Vitro babies. Too bad about that debilitating pain that required surgical removal to have a normal life, eh?

My first thought as well. /Practical

"Got along like a house on fire" is my new favorite catch phrase for making friends.

In other words, he didn't think his cunning plan through?

I've encountered it the other way too though... I know women who I would never ever live with, because they were filthy individuals when not going to work or trying to impress someone. Dirt/sweat/grime just isn't on their radar. My mom could have given Martha Stewart a run for her money (and maybe dominated her in…

I live in the boonies and still lock my doors, because you never know when some drunk moron will do this (and they'd even have to drive to get here, but it could still happen). I used to live in a village where there were bars within a long walking distance and we treated our doors like it was a hotel - they were…

I'm gonna go with 'spent the last couple days high as balls'. Much more likely reason for sudden nakedness and disorientation.

I don't have an engagement ring, because we do a lot of outdoorsy stuff and I didn't want to risk losing an expensive rock. Our rings were $300 each, and he got a discount because the jeweler was his old bagpipe instructor... So while obviously I don't want to lose it, it's not the end of the world if something…
