Oh my god. Me, too!

I had the SAME reaction when I stumbled onto one of his shows. He is so very likable! His “I’m not as young as I used to be!” note was cute, too. Will watch.

Goddammit with the mic drop.

BINGO. These people don’t even notice the people providing them services (unless they look kind of brown, then they question their immigration status).

Yes, oof indeed—I felt both the annoying friend description and your comments right in the gut. I mean, I have my stiffest drink when I get home from work, at 4 in the afternoon, waiting for the kids to wake up from their naps. What IS that, even?

That Pitch Perfect 2 clip reminded me of all the things I would like Clay Matthews to do to me. Criminy that man gets me hot and bothered, long hair and all. Phew.

I agree that the practicalities of this decision will take some time. Do you think they’re insurmountable, or if approached/considered one at a time can be worked out?

YES! For a long time I dismissed the “just use vinegar” as crunchy granola woo, but it WORKS. The acid gets right into whatever is keeping the stink my my clothes and towels and knocks it right off. Love it!

I agree with you.

In line with several of the “practice your listening and communicating” entries, I’d add the value of pausing and deliberately thinking through a problem/question before dashing off an answer. With all of the communication methods available in the office (email! chat! text!), there seems to be an impulse to respond as…

Mr. Webs busted me having one of those imaginary conversations the other day. :-) Usually I save them for the shower, when I destroy someone with my bulletproof argument, but this time I was thinking through something while sitting on the couch. “Webs, who are you TALKING to?!”

Ah. Makes sense. I would make a terrible lookout.

A few articles I’ve seen say that the Su-24s were unarmed, but...those look like some sort of armaments under the wings. Are they not?

That is noooooot how I had pictured him when I was reading the books. Me, oh, my. Whew.

BRB googling “people dancing to car alarms” and ruining the rest of my morning.

I’ve found it to be helpful to ask that people provide a suggested solution or alternative when they bring up a concern/issue/etc.

Even considering their fetus-centric approach, this is so inconsistent. What they’re saying is, carry the pregnancy to completion, into the stage of development where the fetus CAN experience the pain/discomfort/other symptoms (seizures, e.g.) associated with their condition, rather than doing the merciful thing and…

Oh, She’s Come Undone. I have read that multiple times—talk about a book that twangs every emotion string!

Start every email or phone call you have to handle on his/her behalf with “[Boss] is already out of the office for the day, but I’m happy to do what I can to help here...”

Stretch and foam-roll your calves! Tight calves are often the culprit, especially for those of us who are lower-mileage or recreational runners. Also, make sure you have enough room in the toe box of your shoes and be sure you’re not “gripping” with your toes when you run. Getting shoes with more room in the toe and…
