Ha, my nephew’s sandals are the ones next to the garage door (where the trash cans are) and I keep wanting to snag his to go in there.  But, 6 year old boy feet so no.

Heh, here in San Diego it’s flip flop weather year round unless it’s raining.  And then it’s a 50/50 of if I’m still in flip flops.

Thank you for your tips!  I have nearly every Wednesday off so your prep schedule works perfectly for me.

Ooh, pasta salad would probably work well!  I’ll have to see if he likes it.

I’m a new “parent” - having taken custody of a elementary-age nephew last week and not having kids of my own - and I would love to hear any lunch items/sanity tips you can offer. I’m making lunches at night which does help, but I’m worried that he’s going to get bored of what I’m packing reeeeeeeeeeally quick. And it…

I became an “auntie mom” yesterday and took year-long custody of my little nephew. It is very likely to be permanent and everyone is on board if that’s what mom decides. I found out this was happening Tuesday night. The backstory is too long, but the good thing is that for now his life is stable, he is fed, and he’s…

I would seriously consider it too. I have a ‘10 Fit and it’s a fantastic little car, just slow as hell and kind of feeling cheap in its old age. I’m planning to get a ‘20 Civic hatch*, but I’m going to be giving up a lot of cargo hauling ability (which I do a lot with my Fit). If I could just get the utility with the…

If he politely turns you down make sure you tell him he’s a bitch and you were never interested in the first place.

Well, you did catcall him and some creatures don’t like that ;)

The Fit would be a monster with the 1.5T.

Huh, this explains why my cat responds better (and often talks back) to “kitty kitty!” rather than her name.

They should make a Fit Si while they’re at it.

My mom and I made a "dog poo" cake for my brother once.  She frosted it in chocolate and piped some whipped ganache into a pile on top...it was a hit.

Oh my gosh, at my last place there was someone that drove by in the middle of the night every few months with their horn honking like a car alarm.  I never found out the backstory but I'd like to think they were trying to troll someone in the complex.  I'd prefer they would have just stolen the remote to change the…

I'm in San Diego

I’ve been in my new house for a week now and living alone is the fucking best. I don’t think I’ve closed the bathroom door once. And I baked a huge wedding dessert order in my own kitchen when I damn well felt like it (no more scheduling kitchen time).

I rented a room from a family with young children.  They were typical kids, nothing out of the ordinary or any spectacular problems, but holy hell, children are not for me.  Amazing how effective kids are at being birth control.

I’m not sure of the exact range since I don’t have a proximity key, but if I had to guess it’s probably something like 50'. That’s roughly the range on traditional fobs, and many proximity keys also have lock/unlock/panic/remote start buttons that you may wish to operate from a distance. It’s probably not until the…

I believe this problem is unique to proximity keys since they’re always checking to see if the car is within range, not the “press to unlock” variety.

However stop using the garage for storage of crap that could or should go somewhere else
