No but like, I cannot emphasize how important this is. I manage apartment complexes, and 99% of burst pipes in cold temperatures could be prevented by just letting all faucets drip and opening cabinets with exposed pipes. This is especially important in places where there is only below-freezing temperature for a few…

SHUT THE FUCK UP AUBREY PLAZA AND I ARE IN THE SAME CITY AND I DIDN'T KNOW?????

Perez Hilton is the reason we can't have nice things.

Ebola panic:

At least she didn't eat basil.

Sing it with me, children:

This show is perfect and the world is a better place because it exists. I did a big ol' writeup on io9, but the teal deer version is as follows:

Yep! I have a 1st gen Kindle Fire that I use as an e-reader. I also find it easier to use than my phone for reading blogs, etc. Its name is Scout (my phone is Jem, my old computer as Atticus and my new janky laptop is Boo Radley) and it goes with me everywhere.

Well, I'm going to have to do this to my dad soon.

I'm pretty sure he's a supertaster. He's very sensitive to foods and flavors, and is very picky about what he eats. Mostly, he has very bland food; his favorite meal is baked chicken, Veg-All, and mashed potatoes. It's all very 50's/60's. Anything spicy or…

Um, no. The myth that all women (or even women in general) can just have sex whenever they damn well please is really unfortunate and harmful. It effectively erases non-straight (or straight-passing) women, non-conventionally attractive women, trans* or non-gender-conforming women, etc. etc. Plus, it plays into the…

I use OKCupid, Tinder, and JDate. I'm kind of frustrated with JDate, though. My Judaism is very important to me, and I absolutely want to raise Jewish kids, but JDate seems to be filled with Jewish fetishists* and grown-ass men looking for "chill girls." Also, I know like half of them because being a Jew in Atlanta…

As a fellow fat woman (albeit one in her 20's), I've had good luck with OKCupid. I actually prefer online dating to going to bars and whatever "normal" people do to date because I feel like people in real-life situations are way too focused on looks. I never got hit on when I did the bar/club thing (except for this…

...well now I have a great business idea.

These also have great properties when it comes to skin/hair health. Turmeric is great for reducing swelling and clearing acne. Ginger does the same, and has the added benefit of reducing the appearance of scars. Rosemary is good for dry skin, thyme for oily/acne-prone. Mint has great cosmetic applications because…

To make a long story short, some companies will allow applicants with tax ID numbers instead of social security numbers so that non-citizens can apply to live there. It's a legally gray situation, since you can't discriminate based on national origin, but you can require social security numbers. I've seen citizens…

Oh boy, time to put my property manager pants on again! :D

Er, I lease apartments in Atlanta, and cosigners are pretty standard for us. I think any city that has a lot of college students will be okay with cosigners since students don't usually have the necessary income to qualify for rent.
