My second apartment in Astoria, Queens. I lived with my then-boyfriend (now husband) and another couple in a two bedroom apartment. It was a older building but seemingly well-kept. The landlord refused to speak to female tenants - great guy. When we first moved in we noticed there was a large cut-out space around the…

Some minor corrections -

I moved every year for 7 years in a row, always on June 1st. I thought I was getting very good at moving. I had a packing system and lots of friends on deck since I was too poor to hire movers. My husband (boyfriend at the time) and I decided to get a place of our own after living with roommates since college.…

Around age 10 I decided that I could swallow pills and no longer required liquid medications. This was based on nothing but my own hubris. I got a pretty nasty ear infection after puncturing an ear drum and I required amoxicillin as well as few types of drops. I insisted that I no longer needed the pink liquid they…

I used to work for the transportation vendor at the US Open. We were repeatedly instructed to give preferential treatment to top-ranked players as well as a list of other favorites. This meant players out of the top 16 whose last names weren’t Williams got repeatedly screwed when it came to the promised car service.…

Fred said Reyes wasn’t worth a big contract back in 2011 after he won the batting title. They let him walk then and the fans were rightly furious. I think they don’t want a repeat occurrence, but the thing is no one will be incensed this time. So they should put together a nice tribute video (like they did for…

Also, no one remebers this but in 2007 NY Mets outfielder, Lastings Milledge had his own rap as his entrance song. Eventually Jose Reyes had his own entrance rap “SHEA STADIUM STAND UP...IT’S YA BOY...JOSEEEEEEEEE REYESSSSS...**very aggressive drums**

I am (unfortunately) a NY Mets fan and when my husband and I rescued a stray we decided to name him Cat Harvey (after then Met pitcher, Matt Harvey). We call him Harv. We rescued him in May of 2017, then came hurricane Harvey and the take down of human-garbage Harvey Weinstein. Needless to say, we did not pick the…

No Bartolo Colon HR? IMO the best thing to happen in all sports and maybe all of this shit year. Restored my faith in the Mets as contenders this season and reaffirmed my belief that the DH is not necessary.

I have a fairly common name but my parents decided on an unusual spelling. Needless to say, no one ever spells my name correctly, relatives included. My parents maintain their version is more “culturally authentic” but they have no proof and I’ve found no truth to this claim in my own research. I’m very thankful for…

I am a women with a sister and our father is far from a feminist. I also have two brothers. The boys and girls were raised with very different standards. If anything I feel like having daughters made my father more blindly “protective” to the point where my sister and I were not trusted to exist in the world without…

My husband and I have both used the same soap for almost six years. I never thought it was an issue. We both wear perfume/cologne so ultimately we do smell different. I guess we’ve unknowingly compromised on this issue. I am very attracted to the scent of his cologne (Paco Rabanne Invictus), not so much to the scent…

I love the Bumble and bumble Dryspun Finish. It’s not technically a hairspray but a texture/hold spray. It works wonderfully on my finer locks and adds a healthy dose of volume and hold without feeling like a helmet.

I work in financial sector job and our employee handbook is VERY specific about dress code. We are not allowed to wear jeans, ever. There is an elaborate table explaining when leggings are and are not appropriate (in short- yes as tights, not as pants). As a result I am always on the lookout for Ann Taylor sales.

My husband and I have been fighting over a top sheet (I’ve always called it a flat sheet) for 5 years. He finally joined team top sheet because he always kicks off the comforter and I then burrito myself in it so he gets the top sheet all to himself. We both get a cover so we both win.

That thing must stink to high heavens. Poor equipment managers.

If your umbrella has an activity in its name it should only be used for said activity. Travel umbrella - sweet, use it for any and all times you are traveling anywhere, specifically walking in tight spaces since it is probably small.

I used to wear a costume ring I bought from QVC when I’d go out with girlfriends. At first they criticized me for “overreacting” and asked how I’d ever meet anyone? After a few months they were asking where I bought it.

I asked for an American Girl Doll (Samantha) when I was 7. I’m one of 4 kids and we didn’t grow up with that much money. I knew the dolls were $82 (in 1994) and I was beginning to doubt Santa was real. I was setting myself up for some Christmas morning disappointment. Low and behold under our tree was a pristinely…
