I fly Southwest and I always buy one-way tickets - even if I am traveling round-trip. Two one-way tickets are just as inexpensive as buying a round-trip ticket, and because I can cancel and rebook with no penalty, I can also change one end of the flight if I have to without losing the good price I got on the other…

Obviously a product of Chicago Public Schools.

Most televisions allow you to pick from a big list of picture modes, featuring options like “Vivid,” “Warm,” “Cool,” “Game,” and “Fetch,” to name a few.

The last time they asked the public for flavor ideas, I suggested Chicago Mix Popcorn (cheese and caramel).  I am still honked off they didn’t choose it.  But otherwise yeah; the Midwest rules.

Some day my kid’s therapist will make him realize that.

LOL. At my kid’s school they have “mystery reader”, where a parent will show up as a surprise dressed as a book character and reads to the class. I (a woman), came dressed as Captain Underpants. I was a huge hit. It was the most humiliating moment of my 9-year-old son’s life.

Nope, nope, nope. I would totally blow it off completely.

Skip Intro is my radio DJ name.

At our company, frontloading your 401(k) will make the HR department assume that you are planning to quit soon. Just like if you suddenly start sending out LinkedIn connection requests to everyone. 

Any ideas for freeze-dried corn? They have it at my local grocer, but I have never seen it used (in its unreconstituted form, at least) as anything other than a salad ingredient.

What are these “leftover” snacks that you speak of? That is a foreign concept in my world.

I am sure you meant., “threatening as a baby *deer*”.  At least I hope you did.

I disagree. By borrowing your untaxed 401(k) money, you are legally required to pay it back - with post-tax dollars. It’s not like you can choose not to (at least not without a huge penalty). Then you will be taxed again when you withdraw it later. Sure, your downpayment is going to be post-tax dollars one way or the…

401(k) loans are much more expensive than you think. Remember, you are repaying that loan in after-tax dollars. Let’s say your incremental income tax rate is 24% (state and local). If you borrow $10,000, you will be paying back the pretax equivalent of $12,400 plus whatever interest you are charged. Then, when you…

Yep, miscarriage jokes just aren’t my thing.

I like lots and lots of hard-boiled eggs in my potato salad. It’s practically egg salad with some potatoes thrown in, and it’s always a favorite at any potluck I go to.

If you are like me and usually forget to pack your noise-cancelling headphones, choose a movie where you don’t mind reading subtitles.

He certainly did, and don’t call him Shirley!

So in other words, energy drinks are chock-full of antioxidants.

Indian Food. Got a lot of nasty looks when I brought that onboard.
