Ah, fair point, that’s something I know nothing about. I note you say they *can* make a joint will; assuming they don’t *have* to, my opinion that she should go ahead and make her own individual will stands.

Fat lawyer here.

I was excited to click on these tik toks for a chilling little thrill. But my only reaction is that it seems like a lot of people don’t understand the concept of apartments being next door to each other?

Save yourself some aggravation and get these to use in your m. adansonii.

One year my sister suggested that we get our parents a hairless cat for Christmas. They hadn’t ever indicated any interest in one; she just thought they’d like it since they were too old to walk dogs anymore and my mom was allergic to cats.

Anyone who enjoys that Rob Lowe story should read his autobiography, Stories I Only Tell My Friends. He wrote it a long time ago, so it's all about what we would now consider the first half of his career. There’s a lot of stuff about all those guys making The Outsiders — it’s the best part of the book.

I think it looks exactly one kind of wrong; specifically, it looks like a close-up in a pimple-popping video.

I have no opinion on the clandestine love of Clint and Jo, but my favorite thing in every episode is hearing Jo over-pronounce the “n” in Clint’s name. She annunciates it *so* clearly. I love it completely.

20 hours a day. I tried a bigger bed, but all he did was wedge himself into a corner of it.

Chipati — southeastern Michigan.

Native Macombian here. I’m still always surprised that horseshoes aren’t on every bar menu everywhere. Jackson Street Pub for popcorn and a pony!

This is aiming at the white-collar men whose demo made Deadliest Catch such a popular tv show a few years ago. Men who feel disconnected from the manual labor version of manliness, so attach to cultural signifiers of it instead.

I definitely take it to be a response to the garbage headline about “will serena have the ambition to succeed once she’s a mother” thing. She’s illustrating exactly how she incorporates a kid into her continued vision of herself as a competitor and champion.

If anything, I think the film version actually builds up the role Deborah played in the investigation. As someone who read and loved the book, I was really surprised when I saw the first HBO trailer that framed it as “the family took back her legacy.” It’s clear in the book that Rebecca Skloots was the driving force…

Not to mention the fact that it’s produced by Tina Fey and Robert Carlock. So Happy Endings meets Cougartown meets motherf***ing 30 Rock.

These two actresses are enough to make me be excited for any show, but I feel like you’ve left out a MAJOR fact about how excited we should be for this one — it’s produced by Tina Fey and Robert Carlock. Maybe you’ve heard of a little show called 30 Rock that they produced.

My personal pet peeve is when a listing says “priced to sell!” Maybe it’s just my contrary streak, but my reaction is always, we’ll see about that — the market will tell you if it’s priced to sell; if you’re trying to tell the market that it’s priced to sell, all you’re really signaling to prospective buyers is that…

New York and California have laws against this exact thing. The gist of both laws is that if you’re in an in-network hospital and have no way of knowing that a particular doctor is out of network or are in a situation where you can’t choose someone else, then your insurer can only charge you how you would be charged…

Coming at you from Andersonville/Edgewater (literally — on the zip code border) right now. After living in several neighborhoods around the city for 15 years, now that I’m settled in here I’m never leaving. Greatest, Chicago-est vibe you can get.

As a single person living in a city apartment, it seems like so many disaster-preparedness tips don’t apply to me. In the past when I googled this issue, the first result was Mormon disaster tips for singles, and the top one was to get to your parents’ house -- because they assume the only single people are basically…
