Does it actually contain truffles, like of the mushroom variety? I was on board until that part.

Nope, New Hampshire. But it's so trendy to convert old buildings into retail or residential properties now, I am sure there are similar places all over.

I used to work in an old mill that had been converted into a sort of quaint little mall, and supposedly they could not keep nighttime maintenance and security people on staff because of the phantom screaming that would begin after dark. The shop I worked in was in an outbuilding, and it had its own set of hauntings.…

I find that interesting because I listen to country radio on my 2+ hour round trip commute every day and I would put the ratio at more like 80/20...and that's if I'm being generous. Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert do get a ton of play, probably at least half of that 20% just between the two of them. Kacey…

Haha. That phase for me came closer to 30, although replace fruit punch Kool-Aid with a big old home-cooked meal. Food just tastes better that way!

OMG, Vanilla Coke Zero was my jam. When I was in college I had this bizarre idea that if I drank eight glasses of caffeine-free soda each day, it was fundamentally the same thing as the doctor-recommended eight glasses of water daily, so I would plow through my Diet Sprite and Caffeine-Free Diet Coke, and then Vanilla…

But why albino peacocks? Isn't the entire appeal of peacocks due to their beautiful coloring? Why would you want a bunch of weird big white birds traipsing around your wedding?

Have you seen the new site they have in beta? It's a little Pinterest-y in terms of the graphic interface, but a million times better than its current iteration.

I think they are already working on cultivating a hipper, more youthful market - at the very least they just launched a beta version of new website interface a couple of weeks ago that is definitely geared to appeal to younger fans (it looks vaguely like a Pinterest ripoff, IMO, but it's much more appealing than the…

A couple of years ago my ex-BF and I were driving through Pescadero, this great little farm town on the coast a little ways south of Half Moon Bay. and as we were leaving the goat farm we saw a small covered wagon full of dogs being pulled by another, larger dog. I have no idea what they could possibly have been doing…

Our Russian Blue makes a sounds that is exactly like what you're describing - we call it her battle cry. She only does it when she has caught a mouse but hasn't quite killed it yet - our theory is that she wants us to see her fulfilling her huntress nature and praise her accordingly. It is totally ear-splitting,…

I feel like this is a sign from God to Tim Tebow that he needs to put aside his irrational dream of being a decent NFL QB and become a tight end already.

It's not a very popular opinion around here, but I agree with you. For the first few years I lived here, I thought of the crazy homeless population as unfortunate but mostly harmless. Then one day I was walking down Market Street in broad daylight when I was grabbed and groped by a homeless dude who had been hiding in…

What is up with the naked dudes? On Saturday night at like 3 AM, there was a naked guy who was either having a psychotic break or was on some kind of powerful drugs on the corner outside our apartment in Upper Market, screaming at the top of his lungs, breaking glass, and trying to get into altercations with anyone…

When I was a teenager my family's cat did this with an enormous black snake. I have a fear of snakes bordering on a phobia, so needless to say it was a very harrowing experience. We had to call my snake-loving aunt to come over and take it back out to the woods.

I'm less concerned about rat hair limits than fecal matter limits. Except I'm not actually concerned at all, because really, what can be done?

Rather just just "looking at the nutritionals," maybe they should reconsider their sourcing. I'm not sure if this was before of after McDonald's divested itself of Chipotle, but when Chipotle began sourcing their pork from Niman Ranch and raised prices to offset the additional cost, their sales of carnitas actually…

Couldn't you theoretically just make a croissant dough then use biscuit cutters to cut it into rounds rather than rolling it into crescents? You might have to turn it an extra time or two to make up for the extra layers lost by not rolling it, but it doesn't really seem like it would be that difficult to recreate if…

She's probably lucky she threw them up...considering most opioids contain acetaminophen, the threshold for overdose is shockingly low. If they each took 5, they could easily have caused some serious damage to their livers.

It's very common for people, particularly renters, in large urban centers not to have washing machines - old buildings don't always have the right hookups, and landlords are often not keen on installing them since they don't get much return on that investment. I've lived in one apartment with a washing machine (no…
