I’m ambidextrous, so I *can* write with my right hand, but since I naturally gravitated toward using my left as a kid, I don’t have nearly as much practice or muscle memory in my right as I do my left.

Look for gel-ink pens that specifically say “fast-drying” or “good for left-handers.” The bent wrist thing comes about because we’re taught the letter formation the same way right-handers are - they pull the pen across the paper and we push it, which causes fatigue and swearing and general resentment of right-handed…

At most bookstores or Staples or Five Below, you should be able to find practice books. They’re aimed toward children, obviously, but if you haven’t developed the fine motor skills that make cursive easy, they are a godsend for someone who wants to learn. We’ve used them in our English Literacy classes and people love…

There’s a dead guy dripping into the kitchen and you’re upset because people are getting the different cuisines mixed up?

Who is eating lobster roll in Austin? 

How about, instead of buying into the fucked-up idea that what women wear = who women are, we start breaking it down? Obviously, there is appropriate clothing for different jobs, because I’m not going to roll up to a construction site in a suit and heels, but it would be NICE if you could stop with the judgement.…

I have people to do the cleaning and they come on Thursdays. It’s nice to roll into the weekend with a clean house. If I could outsource MORE domestic stuff to other people, I would.

Nowadays, 3 months is a long time at some jobs.

My local library is housed in an historic home (the General John Frelinghuysen House), parts of which date back to the early Dutch settlers of the region. It also houses a lot of John Basilone memorabilia (since he’s from our little town).

I have one kid, two big dogs, and we camp. I drive an XTerra and I will continue to drive it until it literally falls apart (this is my 2nd XTerra - the first one fell apart). I see the appeal of minivans, because sliding doors seem nice and having some room in the back where people go would be kind of nice (the…

Coyote Shivers is a shitbag. 

This sounds SO FUN when you juxtapose it against couples who divorce but still live in the same house because neither of them can afford to move out. 

YOU WOULD THINK.

With Wallace Shawn as spokesperson!

Destination Dogs in New Brunswick, NJ has been rolling this concept (more or less) for years now.

So is anyone here gluten-free or can I just bring any old thing for snacks?

Wyler’s was like punishment.

Do you mean to tell me that I could maybe get my hands on some Rainbow Punch, which is still the best Kool-Aid flavor of all time because it’s not the same as Tropical Punch because it’s better?

This. My husband’s best friend vapes and we’ve spent weekends at his house and he never ever puts it down. In the space of two hours, he had it out of his hand a grand total of maybe 3 minutes? It’s an improvement over when he was a heavy smoker, because I don’t die when I go over there, but DAMN DUDE. Oral fixation,…

I am 100% up for these kinds of shenanigans.
