In this comment section, people disingenuously conflating the difference between (1) kids misbehaving, which will always happen and (2) parents ignoring their kids who are misbehaving while in a not-kid-appropriate restaurant, rather than sticking to “family” restaurants until the kids can reliably behave at a…

I know that FACTUALLY brown eggs are no different, but I will always buy them if all other things are equal. Somehow, the knowledge that they’re not healthier is never able to override my unreasonable emotional reaction that they “feel” healthier. Human brains are funny :)

You can use Tweet Delete for free (although you have to run the “delete all past tweets” feature repeatedly if you have more than 3,200 or whatever Twitter allows), but the best part is that you can set it up to automatically continue deleting tweets older than whatever time frame you set.

This is such important advice, most importantly because you’ll need to use it multiple times during your life. I’m at the age when many of my long-time friends have small children, and they just can’t have the kind of relationships that I need on a day-to-day basis (and they tend to want to hang out with other people…

So... I guess you didn’t even read my comment before responding? Well done.

On the note of not standing right in front if you’re tall, if there is someone very short standing behind me, I will affirmatively ask them if they want to get in front of me. I’m not that tall for a woman, but there are plenty shorter than I am, and it’s just a nice thing to do. Plus, as a selfish bonus, now I have a…

Nope, nope, nope. From my upbringing in the punk scene, I can definitively tell you that you were the jerk everybody talked about behind his back (guessing with 99% certainty that you are a man, not just due to height but sense of entitlement). In fact, small punk clubs with low stages are situations where I have seen…

I think your age has an interesting impact on how you phrased the question. The older you get, the more “past mes” you rack up. I would say getting married 22 years ago, getting divorced 10 years ago, moving from the suburbs to the city, and changing careers would be the big 4 so far.

Brilliant. “How to Ensure Nothing Bad Happens: Never Leave Your House (Oh Wait, You Still Might Slip and Fall on Your Own Stairs)“

Or just dress like a normal person and use one of those thin, zippered pockets on a strap that you wear across your body but under your shirt.

So, the helpful message of this article is, “only use your Roomba if you’re at home.” It doesn’t matter whether or not your pet is “accident-prone,” as I personally discovered when one of our dogs threw up and the Roomba spread it around. Many thanks to my dedicated partner who disassembled and cleaned the entire…

If anyone is curious about this, the CBD treats did not seem to give my dog the munchies. I got them in hopes they’d stimulate my elderly dog’s appetite, who was terminally ill and needed help maintaining his weight. They did seem to make him more relaxed, though!

FYI “Family Plan members aren’t eligible” according to Spotify when I tried to sign up.

(1) When they become actual friends with whom I spend time outside of work or (2) when one of us leaves and I genuinely want to stay in touch with them. Everybody else gets LinkedIn

Not sure why anyone think it would be “fun to share.” Personally, I’m a senior attorney and I make buckets more money than many of my other friends. I’m sure they’re aware — although I live simply, we were able to buy a house in our very expensive city and we do things like travel pretty frequently — but I’m not sure…

Exactly. My ex was an awful person and I’m glad I’m not married. But my wedding pics are a reminder of an event that was wonderful to me 22 (!) years ago, family photos with dead relatives, etc. I would never throw them out, and anyone who would ask is an asshole. Also, I’ve lived with my partner for 6 years and he…

I always, always, always say yes to that question. If there’s some mysterious trick to ordering in your restaurant, I’m pretty sure I’ll be able to figure it out.

I think this also depends on the name. I have an unusual name, so when customers would ask me for it, I cringed because I knew I’d be wasting the next 4-6 minutes on a back-and-forth of “What is it? Karen? Corinne? What? How do you spell it? What kind of a name is that?” etc. I know I could have just made up a name…

“nobody gives a flying fuck about who I am, what I’m doing or why I’m doing it” — honestly, understanding this is the key to enjoying life, period! 

How is this even an issue? Especially w/r/t to travelling, I prefer to travel alone because, especially if you use my trick of having your travel guide sitting on the cafe table in front of you, locals will come up and talk to you and offer you tips, etc. I’m a woman, and I did most of my solo travel in my 30s, so…
