Oops, sorry kitty, I have no idea how your bed keeps getting unplugged when I want to hang out and have chill time with you? 

There’s precious little to feel good about these days. Our Federal government is intentionally mismanaging a crisis for political gain and our healthcare infrastructure is woefully underprepared. An estimate from UCSF indicates a potential fatality count of 1.6 million people by the time this is under control. Our…

In the last week, my cat has been extra-extra snuggly. Like “every time I sit down, he wants to climb on my lap or sleep on my shoulder”. Today I come to find out that the reason for this is that his heated bed got unplugged and on fixing that he’s now had enough of me.

“Despite the risk of some employees potentially taking advantage of its leave by faking ill...”

Breweries are getting in on this as well:

When does American Test Kitchen NOT a fantastic recipe?

Yeah, I think the thing that grinds my gears the most about it is making fun of the prepackaged food combinations. People are and were busy and poor. These things came out of trying to make the best of what they had. It’s a super elitist thing to make fun of people for that.

Schwartz’s Supper Club in St. Anna still does complimentary oldschool relish trays. And excellent, enormous steaks, and you can get a damn decent, and huge, martini for 4.5 bucks. Any time I’m in the area for Airventure or a race at Road America, I make sure to stop in.

I inherited a devilled egg tray from my own mother.  It’s nice but doesn’t hold bear enough eggs.  If I’m going to make them for company, I’m damn well not stopping at a measly dozen.

I mean, this article was fine. And I really enjoyed Kate Bernot’s articles on Midwestern fare. I’m seeing a lot of judgemental commenters though.
That said, this article was insulting af: https://thetakeout.com/what-do-you-love-most-about-unhealthy-midwestern-salads-1842212929

Ha! That reminds me of how when we got married in ‘85 in IL, we received six cake plates as wedding gifts! Mostly cut glass on pedestal type things. After all these years, we’ve hardly ever needed one cake plate, much less six. I assume we got rid of the extras at some point, because I can’t think where any of them…

Man, lots of food snobs on here.
I remember relish trays— there is something nostalgic about them, reminding me of fun family gatherings when my grandparents and all of my aunts and uncles were alive and well. They always somehow felt “special” amongst our entire food spread, as it was set out from the beginning of…

Older female relatives keep trying to give me fancy segmented dishes!! I won’t accept them!! I don’t have anywhere to store things like that, honestly.

I also experience the pattern of receiving my vegetarian husband’s sandwich instead of the hot wings I’ve ordered, also probably 9 times out of 10. That seems to be a particularly hard assumption to shake. Sometimes I wonder if it’s all gender or if I’m somehow coming across as ‘the type’ who might be ‘eating clean’…

More floral or dry?

I do not know why I try to not like Reynolds, but for some odd reason, I want to not like him.

I used to dismiss Ryan as a smarmy prick but since Deadpool, I see him as a funny, self-deprecating, smarmy prick and I like him for it.

It’s unfortunate that so few people, especially those in power, understand that money only moves in one direction: Up. There is no realistic “trickle down” effect, and giving tax breaks to the wealthy will never stimulate the economy. Find a way to let the lower economic classes have more money and it will ultimately…

“But the economy is strong!” continues to be parroted despite nobody in the middle class getting a piece of said “strong economy.” We in the US live in a service-based economy, you can’t really have that if nobody has money to pay for these services. Can’t afford milk? Dairies go out of business. Can’t afford…
