Oh, right. I scaled back buying cheese after becoming single because the damn stuff would go bad before I could eat it all. Knowing how to keep it fresh longer lets me buy and store with confidence.

When can we talk about Garrison Keillor? My aunt lived in his neighborhood and said he was a jerk. And she’s the NICEST PERSON I’VE EVER KNOWN. P.S. and in the years since she made that remark I’ve never heard her say a critical or unkind thing about anyone else, ever.

I don’t read every teensy detail about every case, but some journalist recently wrote that most of these allegations have the weight of truth because a trusted friend or family member has sworn that the accuser told them of the harassment years earlier.

So good to know! I’d just about stopped buying cheese due to being a single. However, most of the cheese I buy is encased in plastic. What’s going on there?

I did it. Thanks for passing along the info on how to speak up to the FCC. So easy.

Bleh. Crappy titles.

Meh. Those are some crappy non-fiction titles there on Amazon. Some look to be decades old.

Great article. I love IFTTT but can’t figure out how to set up a more complex applet that reliably makes an entry in a Google Sheet when I, say, arrive at/leave work (creating a timesheet, or perhaps a mileage log for tax time). I’m going to check out Workflow. Excited!

Other smart people recognize this as expectation management and I believe secretly resent it. I am so done with relating to others.

Also: shitty flats.

That’s why I love “I Love Dick.” When the Dick-obsessed protagonist’s husband (not named Dick) says, “Can you just stop (destabilizing their marriage)?” she replies, thoughtfully, sincerely, “No, I can’t.”

All men have skeletons in their closet. Our society is as fucked up as it can get right now.

His desperation to lure her inside is utterly chilling.

Fake news. Actually, not news at all. Clickbait.

Has anyone here been successful teaching a cat not to scratch a new piece of furniture? My 9-year-old Miette has a catnip-infused scratcher from Trader Joe’s, but he just likes to scratch all textures. For now, I’m just covering the couch at night and when I’m gone in the daytime. But it’s kind of a bummer cause I…

Training to do tricks isn’t the same as “caring for.” Cat people take care of their pets, too, Mr. Holier-Than-Thou!

I had to read that three times. Who pays Netflix annually? If I’d been the editor for this article (editing? who does that anymore?), I would have suggested changing it to “…costs $2 more per month now.”

This recipe is the same as pie crust. I swear: my chef-trained BF taught me the proportions for 2 crusts: 3 parts (by weight) flour to 2 parts (by weight) butter to 1 part water. I use just enough water. More makes tough crust.

You could have made a claim against the estate.
