Hasn’t this been posted on Gawker before? I’m pretty sure I replied to it (though can’t see anything in the comments now)....

I have a lot of friends who make more than I but then I remember that I’m wealthier. I live below my means and invest regularly for retirement. I watch my “rich” friends struggle with big car payments and big mortgages.

Also, pay attention to your verbs. Comey’s writing uses active verbs to express what happened. It’s almost always preferable to use an active verb instead of a “to be” verb. Verbs give life to language. If you’re specific in your verbs (and nouns), you can limit your use of adjectives, which tend to bog down writing…

Twist - sometimes friends only seem to be making more money than you, but have a lifestyle that is inflated past what they’re making.

I’m kind of burned out on Casual Sex Season anymore, what with all the blatant commercialism ruining the true meaning behind it. Hell, Target had their inflatable Casual Sex Season lawn decorations on display in February. February!

That seems like a small but real increase. It’d be rather like saying that water intake increases slightly in the summer. It’s true and has a few likely explanations for why, but there are still a lot of thirsty people in the winter, if you know what I mean.

Right on. Now, I can just link the URL for this article and say, “interested?” to every woman I see on POF and OKC without having to get to know them first. Thanks!

Li Hing powder - a salty dried plum mixture. Li Hing powder instead of salt on the rim makes a great margarita as well.

When I visit for Thanksgiving & Christmas, there may be one or two days where it gets warm enough for shorts.

People insist that they have seen healthy, happy poly/open/etc relationships exist and I’m going to take them at their word, but I have never seen it in the wild. And I don’t appreciate being roped into some completely INSANE bullshit where two deeply unhappy people are deeply dishonest with themselves, each other,…

Honey, why are you writing about our personal problems on the internet?

Having traveled a bit, I started doing this, everything gets a removable tag. As it is used, the tag is thrown away. Everything with a tag is not taken next time. It has pared down the stack.

This is really great, one of the biggest issues getting people in poor communities to eat healthier is a lack of options. If the only things you can walk to easily are gas stations and small convenience stores it is hard to get fruits and vegetables. This allows for people to be able to access better food regardless…

Hey Amazon, how about a discount for US veterans?

Yeah, I mean, at the heart of it it’s not my relationship and it doesn’t affect me - but when these are people I know and sometimes they’re trying to involve me the dynamics get fucking weird so at that point it does kind of involve me and I’m like...this is kind of fucked up.

I think she’s the ho the navy guy cheated with, actually.

I’m of the opinion that because it’s your uncle and he got you the job, you gotta dial it back. This can quickly turn into, “Your goddamn kid had the nerve...” and then this turns into an entire family feud. There’s no way that you come out of that looking good if that’s what develops, ESPECIALLY since the company…
