My local Starbucks locations have decided that two-part bin topper — the one with the helpful notes about which items go in compost and which go in recycle — is decorative. Yep: both selections go to the same, undivided can. Since they can’t recycle the cups, looks like it’s ALL going to landfill. Thanks, Starbucks.

I don’t think the advice is wrong, just the end point - there is no end point. It’s a checklist of things to go through because they are common reasons for a baby to cry; if all of those are taken care of, and baby is still crying, it’s something else! It sounds like a tautology, but it’s easy amidst the stress and…

Curious that it’s an entire category of people, isn’t it? If the answer is “well, women just need to ask for it!” then you maybe need to consider the problem is the way the system is put together in the first place.

Because evidently they’re the ones staying home when it comes time to have kids, and even if you’re not discriminating against those people when hiring you sure as hell are thinking about how to maximize your coverage while allowing for those times.

I think this, yes. I notice I do it with my husband - like I’m looking at him to share the laughter, or check and see whether he got the joke, or whatever it is. It’s like the first person I want to share an experience of happiness with is my husband, so I look for him!

simplehuman is paired with Bed, Bath & Beyond, so when there’s a sale on Amazon, there’s a sale at BBB. Except BBB also has a 20% off coupon, inevitably. And since they also still have free shipping, if price is your primary concern you’re better off with BBB!

It’s got Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood, as well as Mel and Sue. Hooray!

I can’t see my kid in her car seat from the front, either. I have a Honda Fit and she’s in a rear-facing seat. Rear-facing seats are mandatory for all children under 2 years old in California. (87% of these kinds of deaths are for children under 3. 55% are under 1.) 

I got around this by getting a mirror for the…

How many times did you forget your keys before you started the tic of checking for them?

It’s about routine, not importance.

So many times, the stories of these deaths are about routines being broken. They weren’t the one to normally take the kid in, they had to take a different route than they usually do, they had an early morning meeting and didn’t realize the other parent put the kid in the car before…

I had mine pulled when I was 20. Unfortunately, it wasn’t as a matter of course - it was because impacted teeth were causing my head to explode (okay, not really, but it sure felt like it). I had to wait a week for the surgery. It was a really damn long week.

My recovery wasn’t great either. Apparently I had some sort…

Quite true! My husband and I chose to take each others’ last names — so now his Jones and my Smith have become Smith Jones (no hyphen). Autofill assumes a compound last name is just a misplaced middle and a last, so I still get traditional “Mrs. Jones” correspondence. C’est la vie.
