A hotel buffet is brilliant. How fast do they throw them out & how loud do they have to be?

Goddess Garden is fantastic! The review on amazon for the kid’s version, written by a middle age biker dude, SLAYED me.

Check out Turid Rugaas for her dog body language book, its a game changer. Patricia McConnell has books and a blog that are great for training and dog psychology.

Maybe it’s not fatalism, but feminism? Women who are above a certain age are much less likely to put up with man-babies and whiny dude-bros, and DGIAF about social stigma surrounding divorce....

“Oh! What a BEAUTIFUL dog! She has such a pretty thin face! And you look just like her! You know they say people look like their dogs!” —Old woman on the street. But hey, me and the dog both have shiny hair....

Teach me your glorious wedding ways, and I will correct all of your typos, forever! That story is epic, and so are you!

My neighbor talks like this, and acts like what her generation got (nominal workforce equality) was good enough, and we shouldn’t fight for anything, or anyone, else. Despite admitting that birth control was a whole lot easier to get for her generation, and that there have been setbacks to what she ‘won for’ us.

I have those scissors! So useful for all the crap I dont want breaking my Fiskars. They closed our dollar tree, have to go out of town.

It did not!

I hunted down this post just to see the whale art!

Spider plants are pretty hardy, and love to be root bound, don’t mind dry spells, etc. Mine is putting off new plants like crazy!

You can be helped, by the right people!

Nope, got a BA English, wanted to get a job in proofreading/copy editing, had the entire dept say that was a GREAT career path...and nothing I got from college helped. I wound up finding one editing job on my own, in an entirely different field (math!) that lasted two years of stagnant pay before I moved. The collapse…

Damn! That is fashion magic! I wanna know the designers...

Oh geez, no silk socks! Silk pants and shirt are base layer. I use a small silk scarf in the cold office to regulate my temperature, even when I'm wearing my SmartWool socks. I'm not a fiber purist, just mentioning another option besides 'merino'.

Silk is similar. I've seen my partner wear his warmest stuff multiple days in a row, and the socks (merino blend!) stink after a day, while the silk base layer can last a work week (I dunno about 10 days, I just bought more pairs for him to use).

I need ten MORE pounds to be healthy, so gimme all yer chocolate milk, bacon, cheese, avocado, peanut butter, etc. I WILL BE THE HEALTHIEST COMMENTER IN THE LAND!

Thanks for the tip, actually got a sheet from the doc with the duct tape method on it, just didn't know if the Internet was lying about the glue working as well.

Yeah, I was pretty pissed. Even more pissed when they whinged over food costs for my visit, after bemoaning the food in the fridge (that was already there) was going to spoil when they left next day for vacation.
