Well, technically they need cause but in this case their cause was suspected public drinking. It was BS but none of us felt like arguing. I have a friend who is from a family of cops though and she definitely made a stink about it when they wanted to search her cooler, told them they had no right to do so, and when…

I am friends with some exes but I feel like you need some space first before you can have semi-regular contact. I don’t know, it was different before texting made everyone available 24/7. Much ex-husband and I still text for birthdays and holidays 7 years later. Anyway don’t be afraid to set a boundary to help your…

When I left for college my parents got a new bed for my room at home (yes, I questioned their timing). My first weekend home I was there for like 3 hours then went out with my friends. Came home at 3am to discover the dog had pissed in the middle of my bed. He never had accidents so it was definitely deliberate.

Your medication is totally playing a role in the mosquito avoidance. Your blood isn’t attracting them anymore. My brother and I can sit next to each other and I will have 10 bites and he will have none. I tell him it’s because of his demon blood. Or that they know he’s the middle child.

This chat is for you!

The parks thing is VERY selectively enforced. I’ve seen people get busted on my beach in NYC. And I know quite a few locals who have had their coolers searched while 3 blankets away someone from out of town is smoking weed. I was on the beach with my in-laws one Saturday, with literally no one else around because…

Cheers to you staying tumor-free, dude.

You can certainly make arguments about things Billy Bush’s own two relatives who were president have done policy-wise regarding women, but also as far as I know neither of them have ever been accused of sexual assault. I mean...was she implying all politicians have assaulted women?

He started his political grooming becoming head of the actirs’ union too so maybe one day we will see President Gabrielle Carteris.

Kind of like blaming Reagan for everything that’s wrong with society today, which I’ve also seen. And then people who loved him say “No, it’s all Clinton’s fault!” etc. Simplification at it’s finest.

That email was actually polite - definitely didn’t fit in with the others.

The belt placement is so confusing.

Oh we aren’t allowed to punch early/late, they consider it “stealing time.” They don’t want to pay us one cent extra.

I punch a clock now for a white-collar job. My company are dickish about punching, which has made us into a bunch of clock-watchers. As in, we don’t do anything even a moment before our scheduled time and are literally standing at our desks with our coats on when it’s time to punch out. Meanwhile, when I was salaried…

That’s why the only chef on TV should be Jacques Pepin. He makes everything look easy and fun.

The best burger I’ve had in NYC was at the garden cafe at the Met. It was insanely good.

When my friend’s kid was on hospice in another state, I sent her texts that said things like “Don’t forget to drink your water,” “Try and eat a vegetable today,” “Have some protein.” She was glad in the end and did the same for a friend of hers who was sitting with his wife in hospice. You do what you can - friends…

I do it rarely. I have a pretty strict no drinking alone at home policy because I know myself. But sometimes if i’ve had a shitty day I go to the old man bar on the corner and just have one drink. I don’t have to chat if I don’t want to (bringing the newspaper is great for this) but if I want small talk I can have it.

I take the A from Rock Park to Columbus Circle. I make terrible money but my rent is still cheap for now (please go away from my town, hipsters). There are very few jobs in my area, so commuting to midtown it is. I got on around 5:40, I’ll get home a few mins before 7. In the morning I have to leave myself extra time…

I know someone with a Master’s in Education who consistently posts FB statuses full of grammar and spelling errors. I don’t know who was proofreading her papers for her but clearly she learned nothing from them.
