I went to a four-day truck run once when it was incredibly hot. Several people couldn’t deal with sleeping in the heat and ended up napping in their cars for several hours with their cars running and the A/C on. So, it is physically possible to do.

You might have Oral Allergy Syndrome. Some people with pollen allergies develop a cross sensitivity to some fruit proteins. Cooking breaks down those proteins, so cooked foods generally aren’t a problem. I can eat cooked tomatoes, but not raw ones.

Seriously, sometimes it feels like most fashion designers dislike women and would rather just design for clothes hangers and mannequins.

Aw, that sucks. Cats are very sensitive to change, especially old ones. You’d think they’d have enough money to hire help to help clean up after the elderly cat, if that’s what the issue was.

...Except when he traveled to Japan he got a Chinese character instead. ...

Ryan Hansen needs to do a Lifetime movie of this.

I love black underwear too. I don’t understand why they don’t sell the cheaper multipacks of them in the store. It’s always some BS combo of white, beige, pink, striped, and then maybe one black pair.

Your 0ffice is kept at 60 degrees? Yikes. I have more muscle mass than the average woman (in addition to being heavier) and tend to run hot, but that seems excessive even to me.

I have brown skin as well. I have the hardest time finding non-avobenzone sunscreens that don’t leave an obvious white cast. (Avobenzone makes my eyes burn if I get it anywhere near them at all or if I start to sweat.) I’ve been wearing Shisheido, which seems okay, but is super pricey. Any suggestions?

Your mom? Yeah, she’s gonna have to get in line. The line starts behind me. :D

I prefer to tear the tortilla and wrap bite size pieces instead of trying to bite into a fat burrito. That’s why I order my tortilla on the side. It’s just a preference. To be honest, I would prefer all the components be kept separate, so the rice wouldn’t get mixed with the lettuce etc, but I won’t be that person.

Happy, happy birthday! Today’s your special day! Happy, happy birthday! That’s why we’re here to say - happy, happy birthday! May all your dreams come true! Happy, happy birthday from the Carlos Murphy’s crew!

As you should. Cake is way better than pie.

Sorry for freaking you out, Brwnskgurl.

Oh, that’s creepy and sad! Okay, I think one of the worst wilderness stories I ever heard was actually on another episode of I Shouldn’t Be Alive. Some friends decided to take a trip to the Amazon. They ended up meeting some random guy with a machete who offered to be their guide. One of the friends got injured and…

This story reminds me of an episode of “I Shouldn’t Be Alive” I saw a few years ago. There was a couple from Dallas who had met on MySpace. After just a few dates, the guy asked the girl to go to a work convention with him in Palm Desert. They got lost during an outing in the San Jacinto mountains and ended up…

This so much. My office is generally around a reasonable 73 degrees and yet some people are constantly trying to get the temperature increased. These are typically the same people wearing sleeveless tops, short skirts, bare legs, and sandals. PUT ON A FREAKING SWEATER. I can’t take anything else off or I’d get…

Is it feet in general or just feet touching you/gross public spaces? I wouldn’t walk barefoot in questionable places or touch people with my bare feet, but otherwise, I’ve never thought twice about simply exposing my feet or seeing anyone else’s bare feet (unless they’re unkempt). But then I 1) grew up in an Asian…

And the tipping culture is frustratingly arbitrary. Why do we tip at at some restaurants and not others? There are fast food restaurants that deliver the food to your table and don’t take tips, but there’s a tip jar at Starbucks where I stand at a counter waiting for them to pour my premade iced coffee into a cup.

It seems like prepaying the tip negates the whole “we tip to reward good service” argument. The place I order from doesn’t include the tip online. I just add it to the signed slip at the door or, more often, just give cash.
