I don't like Uber and think that they are a shitty company, but I think that one thing that is consistently overlooked in all of this is the fact that women have been having serious issues in taxis for long before Uber ever existed. Almost every young woman I know in New York has some sort of story about how a taxi

I prefer real over American Chinese food. A lot of places have a "real" menu if you ask for it specifically. I think it's not as greasy and have more veggies and spices than American-style. Kudos to you for trying something new! If you liked that, try fan qie chao dan sometime (scrambled eggs and tomatoes over rice),

I put on pants solely to go get french fries. I regret nothing.

I think first footing in Scotland is a pretty strange superstition. It's considered good luck if the first person over your threshold on New Years Day is a tall, dark haired man. It's rude to first foot empty handed, so whisky, coal, black bun, and shortbread are given as gifts.

Has anyone here ever had real Chinese food? Like the stuff actual people in China eat, as opposed to the Chinese American stuff you usually see (General Tso's chicken)? My family went to a nice Hong-Kong style restaurant Christmas Eve, and apparently I was the only one who actually liked it. Everyone else preferred

My grandma used to say that whatever you were doing at midnight on the New Year would be what you do the most of in the coming year. Welp, I am going to be sitting alone, fending off the fur toddlers, farting around online, avoiding work and eating Nutella straight out of the jar. I am totally good with this.

Stevie Wonder and his girlfriend just welcomed a baby daughter into the family this December.

What am I doing with the rest of my life? Well, my much-longed-and-planned-for child was born two weeks ago via surrogate. This has been a long and heartbreaking road, but it ended here...I am typing with a baby sleeping on my shoulder. I am a mom, the Mr is a dad, and we are a family with a person-baby in addition to

Happy New Year! The people who answer phones so America can order pizza are Doing God's Work, IMO.

Pitas for dinner, then port wine cheese and Triscuits and champers whilst watching the fireworks off the Space Needle.

I have a cold, too. It's gotten to the laryngitis phase, so I wouldn't be any fun if I went out anyway. I live with my mother, who can't hear me, so you know, hilarity ensues.

That is awesome.

It was supposed to be Molly, but most certainly was not. Mr. Squiggles and I are at a terrible club with terrible dubstep on. He looks at me and says ' We have to leave, I'm hallucinating'. I go grab our coats, but then become way too high to remember my cardigan and wallet, which we had tucked by our seats. We are

In my small town the thing to do on New Years when you were a teen was to go to the skating rink and take part in a "Lock-In", where they lock the doors and you skate and "party" all night (which meant 1am).

Did you seriously think the world was going to end? Or was that just an excuse to party?

My "worst" New Years was 2000, Y2k. I was a senior in high school. We all thought the world was going to end. We wanted to go out in style. There was lots of cocaine, there were guns, there was lots and lots of $5 Totts.

STOP. FUCKING STOP IT. EVERYONE KNOWS BACON COMES FROM PIGS, ESPECIALLY JEWS.

I didn't know that you were the one who brought us Monogrammed Coffee Thermoses. Bless you, my child.

Holy shit! I didn't know Kitchenette had a tagline.
