WATCH you play? Oh hell no. I have better things to do with my life than watch a dude play a video game. For example, I might want to play GTA5 myself. What a fucking douchebag.

Same here - super low blood pressure, a salt tooth instead of a sweet tooth, and I never watch my sodium intake. If I stopped eating all the salt I eat, I would faint dead away every time I had to get up from a chair.

Dear NYT:

For a long time both of us viewed cooking as a hateful chore that we had to get through. We have (slowly) managed to adjust our attitudes over time and now view it as quality time we get to spend doing something productive for our life together. My husband calls stuff like this "marriaging", as in, "marriage isn't a…

I was on a camping trip in the Verde Valley of Arizona, and we laid our sleeping bags out on an elevated concrete slab that was next to a hot spring. The next morning I went to roll up my bag, lifted up my pillow, and there was a bark scorpion (the really poisonous kind) hanging out UNDER MY PILLOW.

We cook at home 5-6 days a week, and try to keep cook/prep time to under 45 minutes (under 30 minutes preferred). I would never spend 4 hours cooking a meal, unless it was an elaborate Thanksgiving dinner for 12 people or something. We cooked a very fancy several-course Valentine's Day meal at home, and it took 1.5…

I have a Miata. I had been driving a manual transmission for 10+ years when I bought it, and I *still* stalled it about 15 times in the first week. Miata transmissions are definitely some of the touchiest around. I definitely consider the trait to be a theft deterrent. :-)

We filter about 90% of our monthly household transactions through a credit card that earns points, and we pay off the balance every month. We have enough points saved up now to get a week's vacation for two people. I also like the security of credit cards - fraud protection, disputing incorrect charges, etc. Also, it…

Ha ha, yeah! That would be terrible making the mailman lug big things of cat litter up multiple flights of stairs! S/he would probably start spitting on your mail or something. :-D

Yes, we do the prescription thing too at Target. I forgot to mention that. Before we had the cat food subscription, we would wait until cat food went on sale at Target (sometimes they had these awesome sales where the food would be several dollars off per box AND you would get a $5 gift card with the purchase of every…

I never heard of any company offering it as a benefit either before I started working here. I think that's pretty unusual (a lot of companies don't even offer good human insurance, much less pet insurance).

We got a monthly subscription to Target for our cats' food. Subscribing gives a 5% discount, and using the Red Card gets another 5% discount, for a total of 10% off the normal shelf price, AND it automatically comes right to my door every month so I don't have to actually drive to Target to get it. You can also get…

Amazingly, my pet insurance is partially subsidized by my workplace! I signed up for it on a whim last year during our enrollment period, and it paid off pretty much immediately. One of my cats ended up with a UTI only 3 months later, and then both of them had dental work. The pet insurance paid for something like…

You are welcome! I hope you enjoy them as much as I have.

I found this article a while back, and it has completely changed how I think about taking lunch to work: http://www.seriouseats.com/2014/09/diy-in…

Wow, that cat is quite literally climbing the walls!

Sadly, this tutorial came a few days too late. :-( But now I know for next time! Thanks!

I posted this downthread, but you probably didn't read it. This study indicates that declawed cats are MORE likely to end up in shelters than non-declawed cats, not less.

Google is your friend. :-) I could probably find more.
