Last New Year's Day the kids next door to me were yelling out to the neighbourhood to buy some crap from their produce stand. I asked them politely to stop three times and then said fuck it I'm speaking to their parents. Dad pulls up, I go out, he gets out if the car in a speedo, I turn around and go back inside,…

I think Elisabeth H. should return for a special season of Survivor: The View, where all hosts past and present are stuck on an island together for 39 days. I would totally watch that.

Nope, it's just kind of on the way and might make a good stopping point. I would normally just cruise along and stay where I feel like I want to spend a bit of extra time, but the bf is insisting on having a strict plan with accommodation booked well in advance...

So, the bf and I are doing a roadtrip in Feb from NOLA-Cleveland. We have limited time, and I want to make sure we on skip the not so exciting places, and spend more time in the interesting ones. We will for sure spend a few days in New Orleans and Nashville, but I'm wondering if anyone can recommend/discourage the…

I love L'Occitane rose parfum, but my real weakness is Aesop! Saving money: with each pay, calculate out how much you need for rent and bills, then put half of what is left into a savings account that you don't touch. The rest is fair game for eating out, lipstick purchases, more saving, or other random stuff that…

Vegan T-giving roast: http://www.theppk.com/2011/11/seitan… Seriously, this thing is delicious and not nearly as complicated as it looks.

Please tell me someone will be live-blogging this. I'm out of the country so won't be able to watch, and also I want to be able to make fun of it without actually having to subject myself to the pain.

So good! Everytime I make pierogi I end up eating way way wayyyy too much and end up feeling like a giant pierogi. Best feeling EVAR

If it still hasn't gone away after a few days, most likely all the cranberry juice and AC vinegar in the world won't help. You'll need antibiotics :/. This happened to me earlier in the year and after about a week I realised it wasn't going to go away so I reluctantly went to the GP for the antibiotics and it was gone…

If she's not working on Thanksgiving, someone else's mother will be. It reminds me of a guy at work who thinks that he deserves to have more time off around Christmas than the rest of us, because his mum lives overseas. We all have our personal reasons for wanting that time off, and I'm sure this woman's coworkers…

Denny's has a number of Japanese locations that sell miso soup, you know. The weirdest thing about the Japanese Denny's is how friendly and helpful the waitstaff are.

It's good that you're not a financial burden but I still feel that if you're there all the time you are, in a way, invading their space. If there was a stranger in my house all the time who was living there without prior consent from all housemates, I would feel uncomfortable. Even if you don't have a key, even if you…

I do have experience with this situation. I lived in a share house in the past where one of my housemate's girlfriend was there every day, even sometimes when we weren't home (turns out she had a key). She wasn't paying any rent or contributing to bills. We never said it was cool for her to have a key or live there,…

Eh, one of the managers in my department, whose salary is 3x that of mine, throws apostrophes at paragraphs like darts at a dartboard - whether they belong there or not. So, good grammar/punctuation does not necessarily equal higher pay.

I am also running for the ginger ale!

Lots of nasty shit has happened on Twitter and Facebook as well. I am a member and reader of reddit, and so are millions of others. It's not the tiny community of bros you may think it is...

I live overseas and I am voting in the mid-term elections for maybe the first time, but without all the dumb television ads I'm finding it difficult to weed out the people I don't want to vote for. Can anyone recommend a site with an overview of candidates running and their stance on issues? I've been looking for such…

It's not more like this in Australia than it is in America.

My nokedli/spaetzle maker is awesome - it produces the perfect noodles that would make my nagymama proud. Also, my mini food processor, which is great for sauces, dips, and other small-batch items. So hard to choose - kitchen gadgets are my not guilty pleasure!

I was afraid to read this review based on Jezebel's usual treatment of Lena Dunham. Thank you for going in with an open mind. Glad to gave you here!
