For some reason I don’t feel like blaming the loss on the only guy who scored points for his team yesterday.

You win. Way to lob rocks from the sidelines at the vehicles people use to try to improve themselves. Are crossfit and TED perfect? No way. Can they be cultish and obnoxious? Absolutely. But attempting to do something positive yet flawed is better than than than doing nothing at all. Don’t shit on people making an…

For those that I’ve seen, I’ve walked away uplifted, enlightened, and empowered. I have found them instructional and timely.

I am nominating January 2nd as the worst day to have a birthday all year. Everyone is hungover on your birthday and doesn’t want to go out as an adult and as a child it was close enough where you still got the whole, “We’ll just get you one big gift” from family members.

Pinkham, I am not going to lie, yours was a blog I had looked forward to commenting on each week, and during the typical Monday struggles of a mundane office job your posts brightened my mornings. It was your blog where a comment of mine reached over 200 stars for the first time, and I had looked forward to the day I…

Nope, just you.

Monogrammed Thermos™ does both!

Horrible coworkers clearly bullying a person with food allergies by eating all their birthday ice cream. Come on.

No, you’re crying.

I realise that because this BCO is about nice customers, the pickings are likely to be pretty slim, but humanity & the Internet being what it is, I’m betting that someone will figure out a way to shit on the server, somehow. The upside is that - unlike last Monday - the ‘winner’ is unlikely to comment within a couple…

My favorite anecdote is how celebrating Hanshin Tigers Baseball fans threw a local Colonel Sanders prop into a river after winning the Japan Series title in 1985... prompting a…

One thing to note about the mortgage insurance for FHA loans, if you put down less than 10%, you will pay the mortgage insurance premiums for the life of the loan. This is a somewhat recent change (changed in 2013). I would think this would effect just about everyone getting an FHA loan as the big draw is the low down…

What’s weird about it is that they can’t tell him that it’s right there. It’s not about the cookies.

Touche.

Alright, so since everyone is commenting about this even though I’ve already edited it (how?)

Having attending a lot of fests I offer the following in addition:

I agree. My plan when I redo our kitchen is to use regular cabinets with a couple without doors and maybe a couple with glass doors for display.

Cabinets seem to work so well by hiding all of that stuff. That just looks so messy with everything on those shelves.
