That’s because you are a smart person and arugula is trash.

+ 1 BUT YOU CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT MEAT IT’S NOT HEALTHY!

I used to work for a very science-heavy food & nutrition PR and consulting company and the NCBA was a client. You are 100% correct. Also, I’m sure everyone here knows this already, but food science (and most other research) is all about who is funding it.  We often acted as the middle man between our clients and the…

I grew up in the Chicago area with parents who were also from the area, and my mom used to make fluffernutters for us. I didn’t know it was a NE thing.

I have a few shirts/sweatshirts that have them, and I think the purpose is to make sure your sleeves stay down and you don’t have exposed skin while wearing gloves. Shirts like that are a godsend in Chicago winters because it keeps all your skin covered and keeps you much warmer. 

My boyfriend and I did this together recently. Some guys on the elevator had hit 2 floors before ours but got off on the earlier floor. We didn’t realize they had hit two stops, so when they got off we were the last ones on the elevator and assumed the next floor was his apartment. We walked to what we thought was his…

When I was a teenager my mom went around for a month asking everyone what camel toe was and none of us, not even my dad, would tell her because we couldn’t stop laughing. Finally a family friend gave her the answer. 

This makes me sad. My boyfriend is 12 years older than me (I’m 28, he’s 40). We’re moving in together towards the end of this year (as soon as his lease is up), and I’m sure he’s “the one.” Hearing stuff like this concerns me, however, I’m so crazy about him and he is so amazing to me that putting up with the…

My boyfriend is 12 years older than me, I’m 28 and he’s 40. The age difference isn’t really noticeable until I make some dumb twitter reference that he doesn’t get, but even he’s gotten better at that. 

When I visited a few years ago it was 90-95 degrees F and the lack of AC anywhere made it unbearable. Not to mention the trip was a complete shit show for other reasons, but on a positive note was the push I needed to leave my ex.

My favorite Ambien story to tell is the time I took it and hallucinated that a floor fan was talking to me in the voice of Barry White.

You said this very well. Thank you. As a former massage therapist who had to get out because of joint issues, I can confirm it bothered me to be called a masseuse. I still get annoyed when I hear people use the term even though I don’t practice anymore.

Former massage therapist here. I was definitely not a fan of being called a masseuse and found it a little offensive. A lot of people do still refer to massage therapists as masseuses though and don’t realize that it drives us insane.

I was homeschooled in high school due to severe anxiety, and I turned out pretty normal. It probably had something to do with not being homeschooled in elementary or middle school though.

When the market was slower apparently the condos were a lot cheaper (relatively anyway). My boyfriend isn’t a multi-millionaire, but he makes a good living. He was looking right before the economy recovered and when that happened the prices shot back up so he didn’t buy one. This was back when Trump was just a real…

My boyfriend almost bought when there when the housing market was shitty and prices were lower, early 2010s. I cannot tell you how thankful I am every day that he didn’t.

At least providing shoe covers for people is a reasonable compromise especially if you don’t know that someone’s house is no shoes until you show up and don’t have an alternative with you.

Yeah my dad actually had one of his ankles fused just over a week ago hoping it’ll help with the pain. Depending on how this one goes, he may have the other done, but even then I’m sure he won’t walk without shoes once he’s healed. Walking with shoes off for him is absolute torture. The first thing he does in the…

Also from Chicago. Have walked drunkenly barefoot a couple times because my feet hurt so bad from my shoes. Still alive and no funky issues luckily.

Yeah I commented about something like this. My dad has such severe issues with his feet and ankles that he’s legally considered handicapped. The only time he’s without shoes is when he is sleeping or in the shower, slippers don’t offer the support he needs. But I’m sure he’d be cool with shoe covers if someone asked,…
