I know the the restaurants in Restaurant Week (or whatever it's called now) usually enforce and all or nothing policy. Either everyone at the table has to do restaurant week or no one can. I can't imagine Friday's not enforcing this in some capacity. Either everyone gets bottomless appetizers or the number of…

I used to have a coworker who would insist on opening the door for me. And that I should walk in front of him, because apparently that's polite? Anyway, I was supposed to stand there, wait for him to step up from behind me and open the door for me. So awkward.

What do you mean? The ones I've known - they do it because it's fun and because they spent years cheering on the sideline for free (in high school and college) and now they can do it for money. Even if it's crap money.

I have a lot of friends who were cheerleaders in college (though professional cheerleading is more dance than cheer and I don't think most of them are former dancers, not cheerleaders). They do it because it's fun, because they spent who knows how many hours on the sidelines of high school and college football games…

Packie is short for package store. I've never seen anyone ever claim it was possibly racist.

Last summer was my first time as one. I wish I had more girlfriends, I really don't mind it. But I haven't done it enough to be sick of spending all that money. 4 in a year would probably drive me insane.

Etiquette says you only have to invite SOs, you don't have to give single friends dates. We gave most of our single friends dates because we had the room and we didn't want anyone to feel alone. Most of them have opted to not bring a date so far because they know plenty of other people.

That's what I was going to say. When I started having those issues those are pretty much all the things they told me to avoid. Minus the last two rows, I don't remember anything about that.

And then I chose not to avoid those, or alcohol, because that was too hard. So now I just have a prescription for Prilosec.

I'm from Boston(ish) and you can pry my Sperry's from my cold, dead hands!

It seems to be the case with a lot of new construction. I wouldn't say it's a rich people thing - but it's definitely an upper-middle class thing. When we were house hunting, I would see it a lot on zillow (above our price range, but it was fun to look nonetheless). I never understood the appeal. Who wants more…

I'm usually a meat and potates and a frozen vegetable heated in the microwave type of cook. But we've been doing this meal delivery service where they send you the ingredients for 3 meals each week.

My fiancé argues the opposite. That the men bring in way more money, and that there are way more empty seats during women's matches. And thus the men should be paid more.

And men only play best of 5 in the 4 grand slams. Not in all of the other tournaments throughout the year.

Speaking of camisoles. I just realized that not only do I ALWAYS wear underwear like Erin (I get up after sexy times to put it on too). But I also always wear a camisole under my shirts. Not even sheer ones. My camis have become part of my undergarments. I don't know what it is, maybe I just like the uniboob look, but…

I don't really have a point. You argued that sideline cheerleading would be named something different. I'm just saying I'm not so sure why you think that. I would argue that the competitive side of it would have a name change if one of them needs to change names. That's the one that suffers from the identity crisis…

And cheerleading as a name covers both sideline cheer and competitive cheer. But more accurately describes sideline cheer - leading cheers. A pom squad is usually a dance squad of some sort. I was in no way, shape, or form a dancer when I cheered on the sidelines.

True, and they shouldn't be recognized as athletes in that case. But that doesn't mean they would have a different name. Competitive cheer is much more likely to get a new name than traditional sideline cheerleading.

Not necessarily. Plenty of schools have cheerleading teams that don't compete or are "grounded" so to speak. They're still called the cheer team, they're just strictly sideline cheerleaders.

Sideline cheering, that's what it's called. There should definitely be a distinction between the two.

There's been legislation about cheer counting for Title IX. College cheer isn't there yet. IT needs more changes.

But I see no reason why high schools can't recognize it as a sport.
