Exactly, if those aren't your feelings how on earth did the words end up coming out of your mouth? If you're going to apologize just do it, "I was a jerk. I am sorry." Not so hard.

Never. Just have the talk.

I get it. Here in San Francisco there have been times when I was watching TV and there was the teeniest of earthquakes, like, I felt it but it wasn't even bad or long enough for me to even think about standing up let alone stand in the doorway or whatever. Then all of a sudden Breaking News! interrupts what I'm…

Hey! I'm drinking wine RIGHT NOW! Spooooky.

oh, I know, and I'm sure if it really came down to it that prof would probably accept some other corroboration. It's just ever since putting that one together I've been a little "that's insane! They're super expensive!" any time people mention obituaries as necessary for, well, anything really.

Don't those profs know how expensive obituaries are?? When my grandmother died we did a double obit for her and my grandfather who had died a year and a half earlier because it was way too expensive to even consider separate ones. We probably wouldn't have even done the one we did if they hadn't been as active in the…

So, in my book the one in the committed relationship is the shitbag. That person is the one who made the promise not to mess around with someone else, so yes, they are the (vastly, in my opinion) shittier person. However, while it is true that the "other person" isn't breaking a promise to anyone specifically, and…

Dude, every household is different and chores get split differently. I know a lot of people my age who were never allowed to touch the washer let alone do their own laundry. Some of them still aren't even though they are grown adults who have been doing their own laundry at their own houses for a decade. Their moms…

No, I totally think you're right. I think a lot of this starts out with moms being happy to have their kids home and just doing a few things "to be nice" or just because it's what they're used to or whatever but then everyone just sort of gets used to the arraignment and no one really questions it or even sees it…

In our house you did your own laundry, but if you didn't have a full load you were supposed to ask for other stuff to throw in, or if it was a white load to grab the towels from the bathroom hamper. It usually worked out.

Yeah, this was me when I lived at home after graduation too. I ate dinner with my parents, which my mom or dad usually cooked, but otherwise I did most of my personal tasks like laundry and lunches myself, but that wasn't really all that different from when I was a teenager.

I thought for the LONGEST time I was the only person this happened to. It still makes me happy every time I'm reminded it's everyone. Then I feel sad, because that feeling sucks big time.

Totally! Plus, even if the "good for them, all the best" IS 100% true no one believes you anyway because, again, that is what polite people say no matter what is really going on.

I always feel bad for celebrity exes when they get asked the "how do you feel about Ex's engagement?" It's such a bullshit question because, regardless of how you actually feel, there is only one answer: "I wish them the best." I mean, what the hell else are you going to say? "That bitch better watch her back!?" And…

So, I get that this is meant to be a joke and all, but I've seen a guy wear a cummerbund with a tailcoat. It looks really weird and silly, the lines and proportions don't match up at all. It's almost one of those "I don't really know exactly why you look ridiculous... But you do..." things.

This was my thought, it IS perfectly avoidable if the perpetrator decides to just go do something else instead.

I never knew there was a stigma with cider. Pretty much every bar I know in SF has at least one kind on tap, usually two, and it's been that way since I turned 21 way back in *mumble mumble*.

It has both kale and broccoli in it. I think the kale doesn't show as well because it wilts down when it cooks.

Yeah, I had it the other day too. It was pretty dang tasty.

This is actually a good thing to keep in mind about anything second hand, especially anything with fabric. When I get clothes and things from thrift stores or wherever I bring them home in a plastic bag and immediately throw them into the washer or at the very least give them a good steaming. Even things from high end…
