I’d be interested to know where you live. I just moved to a new state, but chicken is much cheaper than ground beef both in my new state and my old one. Hamburger is on sale for $2.99/lb. right now, but it’s usually $3.99/lb (and that’s for 80/20 beef, not extra-lean). Boneless/skinless thighs and breasts are between…

My friend’s father was also killed by a jacked-up car falling on him (in his garage). You definitely need the right tools and equipment.

Texas Roadhouse is my favorite place. Seriously. It’s not at all fancy, but I have been to locations all over the U.S., and I have never had a bad meal. The food is consistently good, and everything is affordable.

The guy bragged that he lied about needing the parking spot for someone with a wheelchair.

My husband’s stepmother is a real piece of work when it comes to her racism and Islamophobia. To add insult to injury, she can’t even say Muslim correctly. She calls Muslim people “Muslins.” When she gets on a tear, I end up picturing muslin curtains walking around on legs. It takes a real lack of self-awareness to…

Food allergies can count as disabilities under the ADA and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. A disability is simply anything that interferes with one or more major life activities. Breathing is a life activity, so if something interferes with your breathing, it can be classified as a disability.

I once had a woman get absolutely enraged because I couldn’t give her a refund for her 1999 NASCAR shirt...in 2003. So enraged that she threw a potted plant at my HR manager, who was six months pregnant. She was charged with assault, so I had to go to the magistrate’s office on my day off.

I’m convinced there are no middle-of-the-road old people. They are either insanely sweet and adorable, or they are demons straight out of Hell.

That’s the only thing that bugs me when I go out with my best friend and her kids. They are extremely picky, and she caters to it. I don’t believe in forcing kids to eat everything, but it is possible to raise them on more than chicken nuggets and mac and cheese.

When I hear dip, I think spinach dip, onion dip, cheese dip, etc. If I want salsa, I say salsa.

I went to a concert the other night and had to park illegally because the parking garage didn’t take cards and I didn’t have cash on me. There’s just one of many reasons.

MGG with short hair? Mmm, yes. MGG with that horrible “I just escaped from a cave and haven’t had a haircut in five years” look? He’s all yours.

You missed my point entirely. Good job.

I somewhat agree with you, but I can tell you’re not stuck following a low-sodium diet, because there aren’t a ton of things that are low-sodium and also affordable. I’m a competent cook, and I am luckier than most when it comes to being able to budget enough to buy mostly fresh foods, but it’s very difficult to limit…

I just read his book (“Most Talkative”), and I thought it was really good! Try it if you haven’t read it yet. (I’ve never even seen Real Housewives, nor do I have cable, but it was still a good read even if you aren’t “into” him.)
