I must say here — when I road tripped from Virginia to Ontario and got a selection of what each area had to offer, Canada served up some portions the likes of which I rarely see. Granted, where I live in the US isn’t that keen on super-portions unless that’s what you explicitly order unless you’re at a chain, so my…

More like people need to plan this shit and get a damn box to go. If you ask, depending on the dish, restaurants will put half in a to-go box for you and keep it refrigerated until you leave. Also, a lot of foods can be repurposed even if they can’t be reheated to their original form, like french fries. Cut them up…

I cut the mold off the cheese if it’s not too far gone. So does my mom. I mean, the sell by date is helpful since one container of cream may have come off the line a week after another, but if both are intact and edible then the date doesn’t really mean anything. When you grow up poor you have to get resourceful, and…

My mom is weird about refrigeration, but I’ve driven home with dairy and frozen goods in my car for hours. There has yet to be an issue. People who are like omg how can u leave food out for an HOUR that’s so gross make me hate-laugh. If it’s so gross, put it away yourself, or put the lid on it.

Do the sniff test. I don’t know why people haven’t grasped this. If that’s “too gross”, they need to spend a few weeks living in a country where hunger is a problem and they have to face it themselves.

I’m moving in about a week and have been cleaning out my pantry, fridge, etc, unloading anything too cumbersome to deal with or perishable onto family. I’m actually pretty proud that I haven’t hoarded food the way I did in the past; maybe it has something to do with the winters here snowing me in so the extra stuff…

I’m just chiming in to say that the line is nonexistent for almost all of these menfolk. The fact that they have these expectations and actually try to stick to them makes me laugh at/pity them. Sorry bruh, if you’re 50 with an ex wife, two pubescent kids, and you dropped out of college so you’re still working as a…

‘tweech their own.

Just a picture of a wet sponge that’s been left with the soaking dishes for 2 days. It doesn’t have to be a person.

Burton/Elizabeth Taylor’s engagement certainly advertised diamonds on a subliminal level.

One of my friends who has been engaged twice, hopefully this one is the real deal, is insistent on diamonds because they can take a beating. She had a decently convincing moonstone ring before they settled on the “real” engagement ring, but she took it off a lot because she said the stone was too soft and would get…

ok, so there’s a chance I hallucinated all of this, but less than a month ago when I didn’t know who Bella Hadid was I looked her up. it said she was dating one of the Jonas bros. Then Taylor Swift posted that pic, and her sister was with one. either they switched or there has been some inconsistent reporting, because…

Bella Hadid: proof that having a prettier, famous sister CAN pay off. You get modeling contracts at 18, and you get to date one of the Jonas brothers, I don’t remember which!

Yeah, it’s a bummer :/ Every age has a stigma, but I think in their fantasy world (which more and more studies show online dating being a part of) dealing with a flighty 24 year old is less scary or intimidating than someone in her early 30’s who knows what she wants and can support herself if they’re not it. At the…

Those are not kitten heels. Those are stilettos.

now this is the kind of advice that should have been given

I’m not trying to justify it at all, but I think single women in their early 30’s who have never been married send off red flags to dudes because she MUST be A.) baby crazy looking for a sperm donor or B.) must have some secret fatal flaw. It’s sexist as hell, but I think it’s more about the implications of the age…

They would doink 24 year olds in theory, but the chances of them getting a date based on charm are so low that it remains a theory (guys who are exceptionally good looking, or wealthy/titled don’t count here because they’re a minority and can buy 24 year olds to date). My pool of friends are of the 20-30 y/o woman…

Because it means you are definitely an adult, no one would call you ‘young man’ or ‘miss’ without it being a joke. I’m 28 and I get ma’amed, but I prefer that to ‘miss’. There’s somethin really degrading about calling a stranger miss or missy.

You can be right and nice at the same time. I think the article is dead on, but it could have taken up half the space and communicated the same point without the acid edge. But if you haven’t realized that you too will age by 47, maybe you DO need that wake-up call.
