I bought a Martha Stewart brand dutch oven from Macy’s several years ago. It seems nearly identical to the La Creuset but was probably 1/4 of the cost. Looking at the Macy’s website, the design of the MS Collection has changed, so I don’t know how they would stand up to La Creuset today, but my old one has done…

I honestly think a most people don’t realize they are exhibiting (or did exhibit as kids) bullying behaviors. I was bullied in elementary school, and the people who bullied me are the same people who now act like we were BFFs in school. Some of them have even posted things on Facebook about how their kids of being…

Agreed. The fog was this thick, so it wasn’t impossible. Plus, I could see the airplane throughout the video.

I saw it in the movie theatre with my sister; I was 24, and she was 30. Unfortunately, the strangers sitting next to us had no idea what the movie was about and brought along their tween kids and elderly grandparents. I was uncomfortable the whole entire movie. It was like I had embarrassment by proxy or something of…

Cruel Intentions and Music from The OC: Mix 1 are two of my favorite soundtracks. I still listen to both pretty regularly.

You kind of ended up contradicting yourself there. No one knows someone else’s life. Not having children does not mean your life is easier. I’ve known childless people who have had to care for a sibling with brain damage or a parent with health issues. In those cases, the caregiver takes on a parenting role to their…

Mine was never a conscious decision either. I was more in the camp of “I don’t need to have kids” than “I don’t want to have kids”.

I had a friend who’s a stay-at-home mom (after being a stay-at-home girlfriend/wife for several years) tell me that I was so lucky because I could do whatever I wanted whenever I want because I don’t have kids. I told her that that was absolutely ludicrous because I still have work and family responsibilities. I truly…

I changed my mind, but not how people who say that would expect. As each year went by, I became less and less interested in ever having children. When I was in my early 20s, I assumed it’s something I’d do one day. Now, in my early 40s, I think not having children was the best decision for me that I ever made.

This might vary by institution and research purposes, but I’ve known people who had their bodies donated to science, and the institution “returned” the body to the family for burial or cremation after it was no longer needed.

I’ve only seen about 10 Trump bumper stickers, and 8 of them filled up the whole backside of one car I passed this weekend. (I live in Austin but drove to both Fort Worth and Bryan/College Station for work recently. I didn’t see a single Trump sticker during either trip.)

Things have changed so much in the past couple of decades. I volunteered at the Democratic Victory Headquarters in Lake Charles, LA, back in 1992, and Clinton/Gore carried Louisiana. They even carried the state in 1996!

Harry looks a lot like Charles Spencer, but he also resembles Prince Phillip. The first time I saw this picture of young Phillip, I thought it was Harry.

Only 1/4 of the toll lanes (northbound from 2222 to Parmer Ln) have opened, and that was within the past week or two. My afternoon commute contains the north mile or two of that section, and it seems like traffic is better, but it could just be my imagination. (I think I’ve only seen 4-5 cars using the toll lane.)

I once left my office in north Austin at 3pm and drove south on I-35 towards San Antonio. At 5:30pm, I was still IN Austin. It was probably one of the worst days ever.

I assume it’s because she branded her own campaign with her first name, probably to avoid confusion with her husband. Similarly, if Trump said Crooked Clinton, it doesn’t specify if he is talking about Bill or Hillary.

Oddly, when I was reading the book (before they’d even cast the movie), I pictured Allison Janey as Rachel’s roommate. It really missed me up that she was the detective in the movie instead.

I thought that’s what it said as well and had originally assumed it was in response to a picture of young Howard Dean that I had posted on another article.
