Did anyone read the WaPo piece about “rescues” buying puppies and selling them for profit? Faith in humanity falling lower every day... 

Or, that high ranking executive is the CEO, and his reply-all is “the next person to hit reply-all on this email is fired.”

Have had a version. Can confirm: worst pain ever. Was in hard labor for 4 hours, confined to my back (risk of prolapse with a foot-first breech baby), would do that any day vs another version. And this wasn’t an urgent one, with a hand up my crotch, this was just a couple people wailing on my stomach!

My company does “reasonable meal expenses” and my manager doesn’t really look at expense reports as long as there are receipts. So hell yeah am I ok paying $20 for eggs, or spending an extra $10 to get delivery, or whatever.

oooooh, what about a plotline where Amy gets pregnant and learns that female PhDs are expected to be in the lab the day before and the day after delivering their babies?? And where she is constantly side-eyed about “taking so much time off,” while Sheldon rises in his colleagues’ esteem for being a “family man.”

But there are dishes that feature lobsters without shells - you’d never accept a lobster shell in your lobster roll, for example, or lobster risotto...

And then we find out that they both actually have hearts of gold - like the fox from Zootopia kinda deal? I’m seeing Sandra Bullock as the female lead, and a charming bad-boy male lead, like a RDJ from 20 years ago...

Business-wise, this all seems like appropriate business.

Or sometimes you freak out that you’re gonna miss your flight, and have to keep touching your boarding pass in your pocket to make sure it’s there, but you realize only too late that your hands were sweaty and you were touching the bar code part, and now you made it to the front of the line but it won’t scan because

Also, if a 7 month old has never had a bottle, you run the risk of him going “wtf is that? no.”, and then you’ve wasted the formula. You can’t reason with a baby, they are relentless... 

But she did everything she did for her family - at the beginning, it is her dad’s frailty that makes her leave and join the conscription. She’s unhappy because she doesn’t feel like she can live up to her family’s expectations of her, and that by failing to please the matchmaker she’s dishonored them. At the end, she

Full disclosure, I love me some Subway. Anyway, I know one of the reasons Subway is going down right now is that they (from what I remember reading) maintained absolutely no standards on where franchisees could build out. Most franchise agreements are “we won’t let someone else build within x distance units of your

No mention of the significance of 19 in and of itself?

But even past a straight 5 figure donation - we bought our house all by ourselves. But (and it’s a big but!), we were able to take that risk because when all our liquid cash was tied up in the house, we knew my mother would be happy to lend/give us enough to take us through any crises. Like, our furnace broke in the

It bothers me to no end watching American Greed and...what is the plan here guys?? I’ve seen so many episodes and I think just once, one time, the guy had researched and made plans to “visit” a foreign country with enough money to buy citizenship there. The rest of them don’t even put their gains into hard currency!

I’m afraid I prematurely shot my wad on what was supposed to be a dry run, if you will, so I’m afraid I have something of a mess on my hands.

I had to finish the bottle, it’s vodka. It goes bad once it’s opened.

I think it’s like everyone as they age: some people use newfound maturity to learn and grow, while others double down on their inherent dickishness.

I too got caught in this storm, flying out of Worcester for a professional exam in Florida. My 36 hours of alone time by the pool was completely eliminated, but JetBlue sent a text when the flight was cancelled with their phone number and I was able to rebook for the next morning and still make my exam (yay?). I was

And check the credit card you booked the trip with! Mine offer a ton of travel insurance related benefits.
