There they are again. Say lots of logically indefensible nonsense posing as a serious argument, and then when called on it, claim, “it was a joke!”. You’re not fooling anyone Doug.

I bought a non-stick pan a few months ago, but I’ve been having some issues with it and I’m not sure if it’s the pan or if I’m doing something wrong (lbr, it’s probably most definitely me). It’s almost too non-stick. I have a terrible time cooking certain things, as they slide around the pan and I have to chase them…

Ah, the good old moving goalposts. First you said change the law and stop bitching online, but when someone indicates they’re trying to do just that by speaking to lawmakers, suddenly that’s pointless too.

Probably showing my own ignorance, but I was confused, because I typed my location into that Vox tool that supposedly would tell you what the eclipse would look like near you, and it told me the moon would obscure 97.8% of the sun where I live (southern NC). So I expected it to get a lot darker for a moment, but it…

I am so sorry. I cannot imagine how painful it must be to have your own mother act in this way and support a president that actively hates you and somehow not be able to grasp how or why that upsets you. It sucks, to be plain. I hope you surround yourself with a found family that in some small way makes up for this…

I rolled off the changing table when I was 6 months old. I did get an abrasion on my eyebrow area, but other than that I was absolutely fine. Most changing tables are in a bedroom (baby’s or parent’s) and most bedrooms have carpet, which probably cushions the landing a bit.

This is not true. You only need to look up the many stories of women having to go to the doctor or emergency room to get something, usually a tampon, removed by a professional because no amount of reaching or “bearing down” will allow them to get at it. The chances of this happening with a sponge that doesn’t have a…

I’m just guessing though that the string found on most tampons make it not only easier to get out of a vagina, but less likely for tampons to get stuck or “disappear”. Plus the advice says to push the sponge up near the cervix, something that doesn’t really happen with tampons, making it more likely that a woman could…

There’s no way for any of us to possibly answer this question because it depends entirely on the size of her life insurance policy and the amount of debt she has. But yes, if her life insurance policy is greater than the amount of debt to be paid + funeral expenses, then you’d have some money left over if you are the…

Everything I know about Robert Johnson I learned from an episode of Supernatural, which mythologized his death into hellhounds coming to collect his soul for that deal he made.

It’s probably best to save the jumbo containers of spices for things you use a lot, as seldom used spices will lose their optimum flavor after 6 months to a year. I definitely buy the giant containers of onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, or chile powder, because I know I’ll use them up quickly.

“It didn’t really hit home. Even with the Aaliyah situation, now that I think about it, ‘Age Ain’t Nothing but a Number’ ... but you don’t think about that. You grew up with the song, and you like the song.”

The Tribune reports that he’d written to the authorities that there was “NO FOUL PLAY WHATSOEVER” involving the death, and the police do not believe otherwise.

It’s a sugar alcohol like a lot of the new calorie free sweeteners. The reason it’s calorie free is because your body literally can’t metabolize it. It gets excreted from your body in your urine basically unchanged. it’s usually made from processing corn starch into glucose and then fermenting that with yeast.

No. Sorry, but no. It is certainly unfortunate that this child’s birth father is apparently absent. But we have no idea why that is. For all we know he could be deceased. But even supposing that they did in fact, just abandon their child, that in no way caused the mother and her partner to abuse/neglect the child.…

They can be both tragic victims AND stupid assholes. There are lots of stupid assholes in the world, most don’t deserve to die. One could even argue they are tragic victims for being stupid assholes. So very very stupid.

If you have asthma (like moi), your doctor will usually write you a prescription for two rescue inhalers, one to keep in your bag/purse/car and one to keep at home. Just ask. Depending on your insurance you may have to pay out of pocket for the second one (although mine has almost always covered it), but it’s worth it…

I don’t think he’s hot. But, as livid as I was over what he did during the election, and how I wish he’d chosen to not do what he did, I have come to a couple of conclusions. A) That is probably partly my own liberal bias talking, and B) I’m starting to have my doubts that what he did actually had that much of an…

For me, the check was really simple. “Have you ever been to a Chipotle’s?” I asked myself. “No,” I replied. “Great, then you’re perfectly safe,” I said. Very reassuring.

This only happens to me when I eat certain citrus fruits, oranges and kiwi being the worst offenders. I always assumed it was the citric acid I was reacting to, although other citrus fruits like strawberries don’t have this effect on me, nor do sodas with citric acid in them. So maybe it’s the pollen thing. Although…
