You can have a weekend playlist that does double duty. Just put stuff into that playlist as it comes up in your daily listening, and there you’ll have it. Depending on your taste, there’s a lot of alt music where you could just play the whole album. Ex: Washed Out, War on Drugs, Yo la Tengo, Bon Iver. Either it’s your…

I got a $10 one at the Macy’s Black Friday sale, and it would’ve been free if I’d mailed back in the stupid coupon. At any rate, it only makes two Eggo-sized waffles at a time, but that was maybe the best $10 I ever spent. And it fits on the pantry shelf because it is miniscule. However, cleaning it is a b1tch, and…

I’m going to have to agree with you here. Both of us work from home now, and our boys are hounds. They sleep a lot. Doesn’t mean that they don’t want affection, to be let outside, to be played and tussled with, or given lunch or snacks. Even with both of us home, they want more attention (they are lucky dogs, so I’m…

My spouse and I gave up meat for Lent, and we certainly do not eat a variety of fruit and veggies. He of course lost weight, and I gained weight, because he is a man, and life is unfair. I didn’t feel too deprived after the first week, and I did add a lot of beans, rice, cheese, and tofu to my diet. Hence, the weight…

Actually, the entity was an LLC, and in many jurisdictions, members in an LLC do not owe each other fiduciary duties (unlike D&O’s in a corporation), and further the operating agreements frequently disclaim fiduciary duties. When the complaint finally gets around to mentioning fiduciary duties, it relies on the…

Not hard with minority investors whose only involvement is putting up the funds... people who have no day to day involvement... not sourcing, fixing, selling. Rather, just people who invested and get checks or requests for capital from time to time.

The young and ill are really quite remarkable. At least almost all of the ones that you know or read about. It’s as if, once you get to the other side of fear, and into either acceptance or steeled for the fight (and perhaps a bit of both), you get down to the brass tacks of being a much better person. A focused,…

Your story is my story, but add 15 years. Somehow, I ended up with a china set from a great aunt (I guess for lack of heirs, not for my affinity for it), and I’ve been reminded over and over that it’s Spode (as it I’m supposed to genuflect or something). I will eBay that whole box in a heartbeat once it rises to the…

TBH, I don’t really even know what my mother’s china looks like, because I can’t remember ever seeing it. There is a Christmas set of dishes we use (I wouldn’t call it china, but it does only come out at Christmas), and the crystal glasses and special silverware. She does Christmas Eve dinner and Christmas morning…

Given that there are no dishes of food on the table, it somewhat suggests that this was food was bought from some other place. Like the Boston Market.

Airlines have decided it’s easier to allow pets on board because they do. The allergy lobby needs to work harder. I am not bringing my hounds on a plane, and don’t know why you’d want to force your dog into something that probably confuses them, but the airlines don’t do anything that doesn’t make them the most money.

My husband has a thing about old plates and silverware, but if it were up to me, I would be using the hand-me-down plates that my grandma gave me (which were well used) went I headed off to my first apartment in college, along with the crap you absorb from old roommates. I have a small kitchen - I have 3 pots, plus a…

Zero sum, huh. Fun at parties - cranky dog guy and DJT.

Well, because it’s your allergy? I mean, if someone were allergic to peanuts or perfume, you’d probably understand that they’d have to take medication or a special flight. Airlines have figured out it’s easier for them to allow pets on board.

I bet you have allergies and anxiety issues, because people with dogs are healthier, and you seem wound a bit tight. Furthermore, I’d be down for the “starving humans” trope if we could also mandate birth control. To adopt the dog, I had to have him neutered, but I got be blithely okay with people having children that…

I’m in the 1%, and I wouldn’t be blase about putting $500 on a wristband for an event where the accommodations and food were already included. I’m struggling to feel the appropriate level of sympathy for someone to blithely make these decisions... it’s promoted by supermodels, there were constant huge red flags, and…

Meh. I don’t think I ever knew my mother or my two grandmothers to ever use their china. It’s a cultural thing. People don’t use the silver set either. “The good china” is a fkin’ racket perpetrated by Big Plate. I eloped, so never registered, but the nicest plates we own are Williams Sonoma’s daily line, and the…

I don’t like product pitches selling us morality or capitalizing on societal divisiveness to push sales, but that’s the world we live in, so I’ll engage on the substance.
