In the late 90's I worked and lived in Brazil, and at that time it was very common for young adults to live with their families until marriage because of economic factors. In the US we talk a lot about “family values” but as usual we’re pretty terrible when it comes to the practice.

So happy for you and your son!

Ahhh! This explains the British eating technique I’ve seen of scooping things onto what this yank thinks of as the “back” of the fork.

Huh, I have a horrible pancake and omelette game. Perhaps this could change all that? Thanks for the recommendations!

I’m a little baffled here...granted, I’m nearing 50, and over 20 years ago I used to be a baker at one of the earliest Great Harvest Bakeries in Oregon...what this article describes doesn’t seem too terribly different from what Great Harvest has been doing for a long time. Or maybe it’s just because we’ve had…

Thank you. A better title would have been “making cupcakes with cake mix”. Although honestly, I’m baffled why you wouldn’t just follow the directions on the box of cake mix for best results cupcakes rather than do this. But ok.

Catie 43890 is just a troll. Pay no mind. <sigh>

You’re too kind. <3

Yes, I thought of that, but didn’t want to list another that covered the same effective region of the country—although it might be an early example of a lesbian relationship that doesn’t end up in murder of one member of the couple.

Good lord, wish I knew what it took to get your comment out of the greys.

Oh thank goodness. Pretty sure no one but Pitt could have done it right!

I’m in my late 40's, and this movie was life-changing for a number of women in my generation. Thelma & Louise was part of an era of film which saw a real rise of female characters who did not fit a number of norms, as well as the bare beginnings of interest in characters in popular media who were perhaps different…

Same, and I’m a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. Some survivors “steel themselves” before attempting to describe what has happened to them, and may seem quite emotionally detached. I myself get this way. How we live and heal (or not) after traumatic events may not always make sense to those who have never had…

True story: jeans with flashy stuff on the butt pockets will absolutely get you a date with TSA. This happened when I was traveling with my daughter, and when I turned around and asked the TSA agent if it was my turn to pat their fanny next, Butter Jr. was horrified.

Thank you, came to say the same exact thing, pleased to see someone had already done it.

One thing I immediately thought as I started reading this is that while I appreciate that Sandberg has stated she didn’t have a good understanding of how challenging it can be as a working, single mother—I am profoundly congnizant that being a widow, versus a divorcee are two different things. While both situations…

Hi John, once upon a time it did. :( Microsoft bought the app in 2015, I believe, and it’s not slated to have any other updates. Many of the features were instead rolled into MS’s Outlook app. This Lifehacker article mentions the change over.

OMG thank you. Early into reading the article I was already in hysterics. Still suspect it was epic trolling of Dong Teen that the counts added up to 69.

The water doesn’t have to be super cold. Regular tap water temperature is fine. How fresh are your fresh eggs? This exercise is especially interesting with store bought eggs as you get to see how not exactly fresh they may be.

Fantastic analysis and nicely articulated. I’ve always wondered what shifts the tide of the hot button issue used to instill panic, and you’ve summed it up nicely.
