While I agree, I’m missing “throw me under the bus.” C’mon! It’s reality TV’s gift to us all.
Yes, I believe mine qualifies:
I made RVSPing upfront a New Year’s resolution last year and have mostly stuck to it. If my gut reaction is I don’t want to go, I grow some ovaries and decline. Ignoring something is basically a shitty way to say no, and I aim to always provide an answer. If I’m on the fence, my tendency usually is towards not going,…
Once I was on a plane and this really high strung lady behind me spilled her coffee on me and then proceeded to have a meltdown and the flight attendant needed to basically calm her down for about 20 minutes.
My white guy friend took his Asian wife’s last name. That’s the only person I know who did, and I think it’s awesome because I think taking on an ethnically identifying name would be even less likely to happen among men.
I made my first ever pumpkin roll (thanks for the recipe, Trisha Yearwood!) and some pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. I rarely cook, let alone cook so I'm feeling super proud.
Selfie sticks at the Blue Mosque in Turkey. In this picture, she is clearly just taking a picture, but most of the time she was filming herself walking around. Ugh.
Right. I still (usually) fly like a backpacker so I do check with the budget airline check-on baggage allowance. I even have a handy luggage scale to make sure my baggage is under allowance for those super-strict airlines. I saved $400 by flying to and then out of NYC to South America earlier this year for a long…
My best travel tip for getting cheap flights, particularly to Europe: look for flights to every major city near your destination. And by near, I mean on the same continent. Europe is wonderful for this because of all their budget airlines connecting cities but I’ve done this with South America too. When my friend…
I truly believe that in my lifetime, where we’ve seen women’s rights, minority rights, and LGBT rights take center stage, that animal rights will have their day in the sun.
My situation is pretty similar minus the shared account. We take turns paying the rent and he pays our other shared bills because he makes more money than me - but it’s still less than $100/month. For other shared expenses, we have a monthly spending sheet that we write down what we spent. If someone is ahead, that…
A couple I know delayed getting married several years because of the woman’s debt. She had her payback situation figured out (don’t know the details) but I know her future husband would’ve been brought in right away for responsibility. I know they lived easier when it was just her debt instead of theirs. They did get…
My American friend is married and raising 3 kids overseas. When I visited her, I couldn’t help but notice how often her kids are naked. They live out in the country and while she tried to get the oldest (age 7) to cover up, after one “Keep your robe closed,” nobody cared.
I’ve worked in various hospitals for several years and the amount of food and other waste in a hospital is INSANE. Huge trays of food tossed every day. Someone gets the wrong order and that tray is tossed. People order so much extra food but we can’t reheat it (health code violation) so that’s tossed too. Can’t save…
Serious question: Do you like hearing people’s travel stories ever? And if so, would you say this is most travel stories or few travel stories?
This reminds me of a couple taking turns taking pictures of themselves having a drink by the pool in front of the Pyramids of Giza. They probably spent a good 15 minutes in various poses, which if you think about it, is a LONG time to be working on a single shot. Like... I don’t even think the drink was consumed —…
Here’s my revised version of the article:
Actually last time I went to Europe, I DID got to Mini Europe (in Brussels, Belgium). It’s right next to the Atomium. WORTH IT.
I went with my friend to weight loss surgery support groups and one of the speakers was a plastic surgeon who had had WLS. Because loose skin is an issue, he ended up having a tummy tuck. Well, he gained back about 50-70 lbs and it all went to his limbs. He was kind of barrel-chested, but mostly you could see his arms…
