First, read their body language and the situation. Realize sometimes (maybe even often) it's not the time for even the most sincere compliments.

Even Mulan? I'll Make a Man Out of You is the best song EVA.

I just saw the news. My husband and I used to live about 3/4 mile away and went I sent it to him, he said, "Brooklyn is officially dead."

I just want to say thank you and also congratulate you on having Paul Pierce on the Wizards this year. Treasure his old man game like I do. TREASURE IT.

Are we supposed to relate to them? I thought it was a comedy. They're all extreme versions of people I met while living in NYC and while I laugh at them (self consciously at times), I don't identify with them. I'm not a huge Girls fan and there's a ton of valid criticisms pointed at the show (that fact that it's way…

I powered through because I have insomnia and regretted it. It made absolutely no sense whatsoever.

Oh dear, did you read the Bloodletter's Daughter too?

OMG YES VOYAGE OF THE MIMI. Fourth grade memories, man.

No, they are. My husband and I have decided that the reason we can't get pregnant is because everyone else is hogging the world's limited baby resources. We threaten families with more than one children under our breath when we walk by them. It's a joke. Kind of.

Malt vinegar is a fairly common condiment in Massachusetts/New England.

I will notice, but I used to go work for a super fancy dance stationery company and it's kind my my thing now. I would say that everyone else won't care either, but the big canceling machines can really eat up wedding invitation envelopes (probably because they're heavier than a normal letter).

I went to this movie on a date with a very good looking man in college and I still don't understand why he wanted to go out with me. He took me to the Cheesecake Factory and my friends were VERY impressed. I remember thinking the porn scene was a tremendously awkward thing to watch on a first date. Oh and that the…

If you are ever in the Berkshires, you have to hunt down Glass Bottom Brewery's TeaSB. It is delicious. The description from their website:

HEY. HEY.

Omg, yes, this is my biggest nerd peeve. But Salem, you're still cool.

My IVF will cost me $200. My adoption estimates are $30,000+. Are you going to give me $30,000?! Great. This will be so much easier on my body. When can I expect the money?

I was in Orlando on Friday and it was pretty close to 95. Just looking at that velvet blazer is making me break out in a sweat.

Stop and Rob. That's hilarious. My brother used to live down the street from a Stop and Shop that he called "Stop and Get Shot". Oh Hempstead.

I saw the play with my father over a decade ago. I brought it up recently to my somewhat tipsy father over dinner and he immediately burst into tears. He's not a terribly weepy man generally so that play got him good.

It's an episode of Step by Step with their weird cousin or something I think.
