You need to do this. Please don’t judge figs from what dried figs taste like (or worse, from fig newton filling); fresh figs are a completely different experience.

I have no issues with other people’s pronoun usage nor do I have any problems with the addition of new gender names.

Yeah, I had a “sister”. Didn’t even come to see either parent or take any interest in them despite living less than 10 minutes away. I moved in from another state to care for both of them. She didn’t even come to the funerals.

I saw this once in a recipe from - of all people Stanley Tucci in an issue of Playboy Magazine. And it really does disintegrate to the point that you’d never know it was there, until the one time you don’t put it in.

Beth, please do a piece on how to find a professional you can trust. Maybe some baselines, what questions you should ask, what things you should look for in a therapist, etc.

Scoopy looking ones:

I’m sure I’m in the minority, but I wish the NYT had kept this one to themselves. It didn’t reveal anything rational people didn’t already know about Trump, but it certainly gave ammunition to the conspiracy theories of the “deep state” and “fake news” which only served to further rally Trump’s minions.

I love these guides but everytime there is some cool celestial event, it’s either cloudy or raining where I live.  I’m so sick of missing out!!

Don’t get me wrong, I love lifehacker.

Shake Shack! The Starbucks of burgers! 

VLANs are a great idea in any smart home network; unfortunately even people like me with a lot of experience in IoT and smart home devices have trouble understanding them and how they work.  So thank you SO much for including that link in your last paragraph, David.  I don’t have any such issues with my CC so it was…

Lots of off the wall comments here. I would simply make a point of having a calm and private conversation with the owner. Explain that you are a regular customer and while you’d like to continue being one, you feel very uncomfortable about coming back and felt that it wasn’t handled in a professional manner.

I use the vibrating ones and I recycle them for cleaning tough spots on dishes or pots as well as in my shop for cleaning parts.

Great, something else to be depressed about. Not a joke, either. I am trying to muster up the courage to deal with this professionally and along with trying to figure out how to find a therapist I can believe in (as I have trust issues as well) my biggest fear is that their solution will be to ‘prescribe something’.

Giardiniera works well to if you pulse it fine enough.  Great with celery or bread sticks or better yet garlic toast!

Pardon.  I have to clean the drool off my keyboard. BRB.
