I have a friend who used to be married to a guy who was vehemently opposed* to all forms of social media. When they had a baby they sent an email around with a newborn pic AND an admonishment not to share said pic on Facebook, etc. Because clearly we all were DYING to share other people’s baby pics on our pages.

Orange juice and amaretto is weird-sounding but DELICIOUS; my guess is he knew this, looked at the Kahlua bottle, and thought, “Well . . .”

I always cut open lotion bottles to get at the dregs - my husband thinks I am insane and the only person ever to do this and I feel very vindicated right now. FYI even bottles that can be stored upside down usually have like a week’s worth of product in there.

All of you anti-shoe/pants types should consider moving to AZ. Yes, it has its drawbacks, but you could wear comfy sandals and unstructured clothing forever and no one would notice or care.

Watermelons grow on the ground! They can’t fall on you. Also, durians smell like rotting flesh, which apparently attracts tigers, so even if a falling durian misses your head you could be killed by a nearby tiger.

I know someone who had a psychotic break due to Propecia usage. No joke - this is one of the side effects buried in the fine print. He’s institutionalized now. I’m not saying this is also happening to Trump, but I’m also not not saying that . . .

I’m super duper late, but you could try intermittent fasting? I know a few people who swear by it for weight loss (one only eights noon - 8pm, one only eats after 3pm). It’s not for everyone (such as those with hypoglycemia, etc.) but it works well for some.

My FIL knows someone who had a kid with a cleft palate. Their insurance covered the birth, but refused to cover the treatment for the cleft palate because it was a pre-existing condition.

A male friend of mine recently got divorced and started dating again. He’s 40ish years old, a smart and thoughtful guy who really did get screwed over by his ex. However, I’ve been taken aback by how much he values looks when it comes to dating. Looking a certain way (standard American hot) is basically his #1…

Also: you might look into Tinkles razors for your daughter? They’re razors made for women’s facial hair and have served me and my mustache well . . .

Mmm hmm. I could write a novel about this but, briefly: his ex was very good-looking and a terrible partner. What KILLS me is the number of men in our circle (both gay and straight) who seem to think that putting up with an attractive person’s unreasonable bullshit is a totally reasonable thing to do . . .

I know a few 40-something women who are dating, and they are in no way concerned with looks at the level that this guy is. Adding to my original post, I also get the sense from him that he has never spent any time thinking about what he is actually attracted to; instead, he just wants someone who is socially…

I’m a hairy woman - my father is also really hairy, as was his mother. My own mother’s response to this was to talk about how unattractive my hairiness was without offering any advice/help. Unsurprisingly, I also wound up with a few chemical burns on my face in junior high. I think letting your daughter know about…

My 2014 Nissan Maxima came with a 6 disc changer. I’ve actually really enjoyed listening to my old CDs and started buying new ones (they come with a free download of the album 99% of the time anyway). #codger

There’s a perfume called Feminite du Bois that is notorious for smelling vaginal. I used to have a decant of it - it’s not overwhelmingly, um, labial but I get why it has the reputation it does . . .

There’s a bunch (the internet being the internet). I like Basenotes, Now Smell This, and Bois de Jasmin, but there are several more.

I love perfume and participate in several perfume blogs/communities. Perfume nerds are generally snobby about celebrity fragrances; the exceptions are Sarah Jessica Parker’s Stash and Queen Latifah’s Queen (which I think is discontinued?). I used to have Kate Moss, which was okay. Both Tilda Swinton and Grace…

I don’t really like eggs either. Whenever I order a big breakfast platter I usually tell the server to skip the eggs and just bring me the pancakes/bacon/hash browns/whatever. The server is always stunned by this and about 75% of the time I get the eggs anyway. Nearly always they are over easy. I don’t get it.  

This. I can’t deal with these “I don’t cook” people. Do you eat? Learn to cook.
